Cologne With Boss

Chapters. 8 Disappointed

POVS. RACCOONS

While cleaning the floor of the lobby, it was like hearing the voice of someone I knew.

I turned my body towards where the voice came from. True as I thought, I did recognize that person's voice. That person is Akira's mother.

I know him because he is the boss of the company I work for. Not only because of that, I know Bu Akira because she is the woman who has made my heart beat great.

Just hearing his voice just like now, it was able to make my heart pound.

I who was cleaning the lobby floor instantly could not focus anymore. My focus was only on Bu Akira calling out the names 'Azzam and Azzura'.

It turns out that the one called Mrs Akira was the kids who had made a mess in the lobby.

I can hear that the kids call Ms. Akira 'Mama'.

"Huhuh? Did I not mishear, if the bad boys called Ms Akira as Mama?" asked Mr. Ari surprised.

Not only Mr. Ari was surprised, but I was also surprised to know that fact. I never thought, if Miss Akira already had a child.

"It's not wrong to hear it, sir, I heard it too" I replied.

"It turns out that rumors that Bu Akira's widow is indeed right" said Mr. Ari.

"There really is such a rumor, sir?" I asked Mr. Ari.

"Yes Ka, there used to be rumors like that that we heard, but I think it's just gossip" replied Mr. Ari.

I nodded my head, a sign of understanding at what Mr. Ari explained.

To be honest, deep down in my heart, I was disappointed to learn the fact that Ms. Akira was a 2-child widow.

Not disappointed because He already had children, but I was disappointed because it was increasingly impossible for me to have them.

Although disappointed I still admired him, because that was all I could do. Admire Ms. Akira secretly.

Not long after that I saw Bu Akira with the twins walking towards the exit, passing me who was still standing staring at the three of them.

After three steps past me, the twins on the left and right sides of Bu Akira stopped his footsteps.

The twins turned their bodies to face me, making Bu Akira also turn his body to face me.

"Sorry, yes, Om Raka, we have troubled you" said the twins.

I was surprised, it turned out that the twins knew my name. When I asked them to meet, the two children ignored me.

"Ahh, yes. It's okay Deck, it's all my job" I said, smiling at the twins.

"Know Om, my name is Azzam" said the boy extending his hand to me.

"I also know Om, my name is Azzura" said the girl who reached out to me.

I shook their hands one by one.

"Greetings to Azzam, Azzura" I said.

"Even, right?" ma'am Akira asked the twins.

"It is Ma" Azzura and Azzam replied, nodding their heads.

"Then we go home now, yes" said Ms. Akira.

"Yes, Ma" said Azzam and Azzura.

I thought they were going home right away. But it turns out that Ms. Akira thanked me, making me feel flattered.

"Thank you, yes" he said briefly but again made my heart beat great.

"Sa-sa-ma sa-sa-ma, ma'am" I said.

After that the three of them turned their bodies to immediately go home with Bu Lina who followed the three of them from behind.

My gaze is still staring at their departure until realized by the deheman of Pak Ari.

"Ehhemm," dehem Mr. Ari.

"Yes sir" I said.

"Quick finish your work, only after that you can rest," said Mr. Ari then passed back to the kitchen.

I nodded my head even though Mr. Ari passed from before me, after which I cleaned back the dirty floor because of the actions of the twins.

Almost 01.00 noon I just finished cleaning the lobby and I was just able to rest.

I came to the kitchen on the first floor to rest there.

The OB and OG have apparently been gathering since earlier in the kitchen, because they took a break at exactly 12:00 noon while I was at 01:00 this afternoon just got a break.

Rest just for a drink I was not able to because the arrival of the two children of Bu Akira to the office.

"Rajin really you Raka, the clock is just a break," said Bayu my friend fellow OB in this office.

"Yes, I cleaned the office lobby first, Bay," I replied, taking water from the dispenser and gulping it down.

"No need to be diligent you Ka, even though you are diligent, OB salary like us is still that much," said Bayu.

I was silent not responding to Bayu's words. In my mind how I am not diligent if the one who is always given a job by Mr. Ari is only me, as if I am his stepson.

I opened my lunch box which I deliberately brought from home, then ate it.

"Bring again? once in a while dong, Ka, you eat in the office cafeteria, don't bring supplies," Bayu sneered at me.

"Save, Bay," I said.

"Life is enjoyed Ka, you work every day, get a salary every month, yes once in a while eat good," said Bayu continued chattering.

The Bayu babble I did not respond at all, so that over time the man closed his mouth silent no longer speaking.

It's common for me to hear babbling from my fellow OB colleagues, and it certainly can't shake the spirit inside me to keep working.

Not long after that I was done with my lunch.

While waiting for work hours to come in, I opened my phone that was worn because it had heard the sound of incoming message notifications.

I opened the unread message.

Apparently the message came from the bank that transferred my monthly salary.

"Alhamdulillah, payday has come in" I murmured.

After that, I opened the Mobile Banking application, then transferred a little of my salary to my mother's account in the village.

Not long after I transferred the money my phone rang, it turned out that Mom was in the room who called me.

"Assalamualaikum, ma'am," I answered the call.

"You were out of money transfer, didn't you, Le?" ask Mom across the phone.

"Mom, I transferred money to Mom and Dad there for a month" I replied.

"Thank you very much, Le. You are there do not forget to take care of your health," said Mother gave a message.

"Sweep Ma'am, I'm the same father there also take care of his health, yes" I said.

"Surely Le. Yes, I hung up the phone, yes, Assalamualaikum," said Mother.

"Yes Ma'am, Waalaikumsalam," I said and the call ended.
