BETWEEN THE CEO AND THE MAFIA

Psychologists

"What about Prita?"

"It's still the same."

Ayash and Irgi appear to be chatting in the living room of Ayash's apartment. They spoke in a slow and soft tone. Prita is still busy cooking dinner in the kitchen. They don't want Prita to hear the conversation.

"He doesn't want to tell you?" Irgi emphasized the question.

"She didn't tell me a bit about what she was going through. Sometimes, the little things that could remind him were just crying. I dare not ask."

"A few days I accompanied him here, I often saw him daydreaming. He cooks while daydreaming, washing dishes while daydreaming, watching tv also daydream. If I don't talk to him, he'll probably daydream all day. I've also heard him cry in the shower."

"God! You got a taste of Prita?" Ayash glared at the words of Irgi.

"Who is interested? I said I'm just listening, damn it!" Irgi raised his voice

"Slow down your voice, you idiot!"

"You're the one who made me emotional!"

They both looked towards Prita. Fortunately he did not hear the commotion they were making as it was still focused on cooking.

"Prita I asked out also did not want to. In fact, I took her to the cafe just didn't want to. He said he'd just stay home."

"Is he afraid of the outside world? Afraid of meeting people?"

"It's that bad?"

"Yes, I did not want to go to the office either. That's why I told you to accompany him here. Every midnight, he wakes up and asks to move to sleep in my room."

"God! You guys sleeping together? You son of a bitch looking for a chance!" irgi Umpat.

"That's Prita's will.... "

"Huh! You want it too, right?"

"Prita's scared, what if she's comfortable around me? Besides, I'm his girlfriend. If you're jealous, just do it with Raeka."

"Yayaya. I'm just keeping people's soulmates."

"Do you think we should get a psychologist for Prita?"

"Do not just call a psychologist, we must ask Prita's opinion first. If he wants to, let's find a psychologist."

"If he doesn't want to?"

"Don't force it, do it!"

"Busy talking about what the hell are you guys? Since then it seemed really exciting." suddenly Prita came to them while removing the apron.

"Dining is ready, eat together" he said with a smile.

Both men were silent. They move from the living room to the dining room following Prita.

Prita stuffed rice in Ayash's plate, Irgi, then his own plate.

"Well, steady! Sweet sour squid and kale chops made by Chef Prita. It's my favorite." Irgi looked excitedly taking the side dish that was on the table.

Prita just smiles at the behavior of his friend.

"Yash, you want the fried tempeh?"

"Yes, get me two." Ayash smiled towards Prita, welcoming her offer.

They eat while discussing trifles. Sometimes there is laughter when Irgi tries to be funny. The atmosphere of the dinner became exciting.

"Ta.. Can we not say anything?"

The carefree atmosphere suddenly disappeared when Ayash seemed to want to discuss something serious.

"What?" Prita smiled stiffly.

"Do you want to see a psychologist?" chirps Irgi.

Ayash sighed. His friend likes to talk. He just needs preparation to talk and it's already in advance.

"Psychologist?" Prita.

"Mmm. yes. You must know, if I and Irgi really love you." Ayash tries to find words that do not hurt Prita.

"I often see you daydreaming, Ta. Maybe if you can't tell me about your problem or Ayash, you can tell the psychologist." again Irgi attacked.

"Ta... You understand what we mean, right?"

"Ta, people meet psychologists not just because of mental illness, right. Sometimes, by telling stories we can find a solution to a problem."

Ayash massaged his forehead, "If you don't want to either it's okay. We're not gonna force." Ayash clasped Prita's hand.

"Whatever your decision is, we'll still support you, Ta."

"Yes, you two are indeed the ones who can make me the most comfortable right now. You finally know that I'm actually not comfortable with myself. Maybe I need some psychological help."

"So you agree, Ta?" Irgi asked enthusiastically.

Prita nodded. Ayash rubbed the top of his head as a compliment to the courage of Prita who wanted to get the assistance of psychologists.

"What I said! A woman like Prita is not for you. He's too innocent and innocent. I think you're better suited to a wild, aggressive woman" Tio said, sipping a beer in her glass.

Bayu tonight spent his time at the club with his friends. The apartment felt empty after Prita left. He wanted to amuse himself a little by drinking alcohol.

"You want me to call a girlfriend, Bay? I have one cute girl contact who might suit your type" Angga said.

Bayu just smiled.

"Supply me, too, Ngga!" Tio always excited when talking about women.

"I'm offering to Bayu, not to you."

"Give it, Ngga. I don't want to either."

"Well, this time Boss Bayu said he didn't need a girl." Jaka followed.

"I'm here specifically to drink with you, not to talk about women."

"Needle, Bay! Bed is cold if there is no blanket alive."

"Tio... Tio...your mind is never far from ************."

"Hi all. Can join, right?" Karla suddenly came. "Hi Bay, long time no see you in the club." with confidence Karla took a glass in Bayu's hand and then gulped down the contents in a sensual style.

"Well, it just so happened that Princess Karla came. Our friend Bayu is in a dilemma."

Karla frowned at Tio's words, "Well, why?"

"Prita goes." Jaka said.

"Prita? Prita who?"

"The girl that Bayu brought to my party is that."

Karla just remembered. Yes, Prita. A woman who can keep Bayu busy and never get together with his friends again.

"Oh, that woman is. I don't even know his name." Karla glanced towards Bayu who looked indifferent with the conversation.

Karla tells Tio to shift so she can sit next to Bayu. Bayu looks a little piqued.

"Why did your woman leave? Is it because of another man?"

Bayu did not answer Karla's question.

"From her innocent face she looks like a fine woman. But, the look of such a woman is usually more deceiving. They're the alim-types on the outside only, originally binal."

"Hahaha.. Are you talking to yourself, Kar?" tejek Tio's.

"At least I've never betrayed Bayu like that woman did."

"Aren't you ever Bayu's girlfriend?" ask Angga.

"If I've thought of myself as Bayu's girlfriend all along. I don't know, Bayu wants to admit me or not."

"How, Bay? Karla wants to be your girlfriend."

"Sorry, Karla. My boyfriend is just Prita."

"Yes whatever. I still don't give up." Karla brought her face closer to Bayu, "If you need a bed warmer, I'm ready for you 24 hours. My number's still the one." whispered sensually. After saying that, Karla immediately left.

"What's he saying, Bay?" Angga.

"He asked for money transfer" said Bayu lightly.

The three friends laughed at Bayu's words.
