Buih Becomes a Tapestry

Chapter 14

After Alula's casting, she asked the in-laws for permission to go to Kevin's office.

"Ma, I'm now accepted to the new workplace, I want to go to the office to ask permission to quit my job as an office girl officially." Lula explained.

"Yes, mama take you, yes" said Santi.

"Good, Ma."

Arriving at the office, Santi immediately returned home because he was preparing for the return of her husband from abroad.

Alula walked towards Kevin's room, all the way she became the gaze of everyone present. Maybe because she doesn't wear a uniform, so not many people know that she's an office girl.

"Who's that pretty girl, could it be the new boss Kevin's girlfriend?"

"It could be,"

"It looks like I've seen the girl, but where, yeah, I forgot,"

"Isn't that Alula?"

"Well, it looks different, anyway,"

"Maybe it's because he's not in uniform like us, so we don't recognize him."

All the people whispered to each other. Emi who was mopping was surprised by the arrival of Lula. Only he recognized Lula when she looked different.

"Lula, where have you been? How come you're not wearing a work uniform?" emi protests.

"Sorry, Emi! Let me tell you yes, now I have a little business." Lula's leaving soon. Emi looked questioningly at Lula's departure.

Lula is right in front of the door. Pounding to neutralize the sound. Knocked on the door and after a voice from inside the room let Lula open the door.

"Alula?" Kevin was surprised to see the figure of a beautiful waist-haired girl enter his room. Alula seemed to lower her head then slowly raised her head and looked seriously at Kevin.

"Eum, I'm here to tell you one thing" said Lula confused where to start. Kevin quietly waited for Lula's words to pause.

"I want to resign as an office girl in this office." Kevin flinched. Alula took her mother's advice seriously.

"But why, don't you like this job?" Kevin sounded objected to Lula's decision.

"What my mother said was right, I had to pursue a dream, everyone had insulted me for my profession and now I've been accepted and passed the casting. I'm about to start a new job and a new life. Whether it's without you or not I'll start my career." Lula said confidently.

"Lula, I've said this before, I'll change so stay here, by my side. If you go out, then who else will clean my room so clean?" Kevin's trying to hold Lula to work here.

"See, just tell your girlfriend to clean this room!" decak Lula who was starting to be lazy for too long was in the room. "So, this room feels unclean to me, too. Seeing you guys do illegal acts adds to my belief to get out of here immediately" Lula said firmly making Kevin difficult to deny. That's right, it's been a lot of Kevin and his girlfriend do forbidden relationship in this place.

"So, without your permission or not I'll stay out of here!" Lula turned her body towards the door.

Kevin stood up, and grabbed Lula's arm.

"Do I need to put you in a higher position? Secretary or something else." Hearing that Lula laughed while closing her mouth.

"I'm not as smart as you, and just a high school graduate, what will people say ? I'll even be considered a bribe." Lula brushed off Kevin's hand and left immediately.

Kevin didn't stay still, he left the mountain work, a pile of files still on the table. He half ran after his wife.

"Lula, my wife, wait!" kevin shouted to make everyone who was busy working highlight them.

"Boss Kevin married an office girl?" peekkik Kiki was shocked, he just happened to be there.

Not only was he shocked, everyone there was also the same. Including Emi, Lula's best friend. Why did Lula never tell her about her household, even though Emi was her best friend? It was a secret marriage.

Lula pecked for a moment. I don't know why his chest feels relieved but there is still pain in the heart. His heart rate also pumped faster like running a marathon. His eyeballs turned around, looking at everyone who was glaring at him.

Kevin with no doubt and courage that piled up no matter what people said later he would not care. He was standing right in front of Lula now, grabbing that white hand.

"She, Alula Farhah who works as an office girl is the legal wife of the CEO at PT CAHAYA INDO LESTARI, who is none other than me."

Alula was still silent as if she could not believe what she had just heard.

"Lula, everyone already knows about our marriage, so, please stay here." asked Kevin, both hands clutching Lula's hands.

Lula closed her eyes and held a tightness in her chest. She used to be despised, now that she had changed her appearance, her husband raised her honor.

"slowly. I have decided to stop working. Thank you for admitting I'm your wife. Even without you doing that, my decision has not changed. I'll send you a divorce warrant." And then Lula leaves.

Kevin's really fucked up right now. "Before she sues for my divorce, I'll try to get your heart back." Kevin advised.

The playboy-famous CEO walked languidly into his room.

While Lula stopped because there was Emi there.

"Emi, at first I wanted to tell you, but time can't. And now I can explain all this to you." Lula can catch the anger of her best friend.

"You think we've been best friends all along. You are the same as the others. You haven't been open to me at all. Even I just found out that you are a mistress, "Emi just turned right and ran. I don't feel her tears.

Lula had been a comfortable vent, after Emi knew the facts, she felt that she was being lied to.

Lula wants to explain, but has already disappointed his best friend.

"Emi, I'm sorry. " Lula also left.

***

Tonight Kevin is overtime and comes home a little late from his usual hour. The clock has shown ten o'clock past. His stomach was very hungry but his mouth was bitter as he wanted to swallow food.

Slowly he entered the apartment. Judging by Lula's room light still on, it's a sign that he hasn't slept.

I wanted to say hello but my tongue felt funny. Kevin went straight into the room, he didn't shower and just changed clothes. Choose to wear sweaters and long pants. Though the air is very hot, for him the air tonight is too cold.

Kevin exited the room and opened the hood. He didn't find anything there. Remembering the snack that yesterday was still there, he intended to eat it.

After finishing three packs, not the feeling of fullness that he got but the pain and nausea.

Kevin staggered towards his room.

"I think I have a fever, I'd better rest in my room. Tomorrow would be better." he muttered as he pulled the blanket.

Alula found it difficult to sleep, but her eyes were closed. He got up and turned off his room lights. Hope tomorrow is a good day.

"Tomorrow I'll start filming, hopefully it'll be smooth." - inwardly and soon to sleep. She recalled the threat she made this morning, suing her husband for divorce.

"I can't stand this relationship. I'd better get divorced. But, what about the promise I made with Miss Santi? Ah, that woman is too good to me. I can't make him sick. I'm too weak to deal with that woman" Lula said. Soon after, Lula fell asleep and heard a thin snore.

The next morning, Lula did not have time to cook because of bad luck. He's just a breakfast loaf of bread and a glass of milk. After tidy with a very pretty makeup Lula grabbed the bag at the dressing table and exited the room. Lula passed Kevin's room.

"The playboy must have left, why didn't he build me, it's 09:00. I gotta hurry." Lula leaves without confirming Kevin's whereabouts.

Arriving in front, he saw Kevin's car still in the parking lot.

"Well, this car is still there, why hasn't he left yet. Ah, bodo very, why also I think of him." muttered Lula. Lula's pick-up has come he went to the set which only takes about 25 minutes.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lula had already returned to the apartment. Because he had no time to cook, he had bought fried rice at the front stall.

"The car is already in the parking lot, he came home quickly" said Lula who saw Kevin's car. The car was parked in the same state.

Lula entered the apartment and the atmosphere was still the same as when she left this morning.
