Arumi fell on the floor. He touched his lips that had been fused with Alfaro. He moved to touch his chest, feeling a heartbeat that was faster than usual. Why, why does everything feel different, when it is not the first for him and Alfaro. That strange murmur made his body crumble instantaneously.
"What is this, am I crazy? Yes, I must have gone crazy for enjoying the touch, instead" muttered Arumi who looked confused.
Arumi covered her face with both hands, trying to get rid of the thoughts that Alfaro had filled with. As a woman who has never known what love is, she is still lost in her own feelings, although her instincts as a woman have directed her if the strange hiss is a small part of the growth of the seeds of love.
Not wanting to dissolve in his mind, he cleaned the table, carrying a bowl of instant noodles that he no longer wanted to eat. After that he went straight into the room, laying his body that felt so tired. He covered his whole body in a blanket. He tried to close his eyes, but it was quite difficult to sleep well tonight.
...***...
This morning, Arumi woke up earlier than usual, because the distance of his home and office was quite far. After locking the door from the outside, he immediately approached the online motorcycle driver who had been waiting for him since. Arumi got on the motorbike and the driver immediately gas-tancap left the courtyard of Arumi's house.

Meanwhile, in the middle of the crowded streets of the capital, Aril is stuck in traffic. It's almost an hour, and the car's just running like a conch. His thoughts this morning were quite chaotic as he had just gotten a report from his man.
Aril grabbed a large envelope that was in the car's dashboard drawer. An envelope containing several photos of Arumi while in the Mall with a man. Yes, actually he was confused to have to report this to Alfaro or not, because the photo alone was not enough to conclude if Arumi was playing with fire behind Alfaro. In the photo, Arumi's friend, Dinda.
"I'd better keep it, telling him it will only cause problems that are not necessarily the truth" said Aril himself.
The photo again he put into the drawer dashboard of the car. Aril back on the gas pedal as the congestion gradually improved. The tiredness of an Aril is not worth Alfaro's kindness to him all this time, when both his parents were involved in an accident and almost lost their lives, all the hospital costs in Alfaro's responsibility, he promised himself that if his parents survived, he would devote himself to Alfaro.

Arumi was already in the office lobby and was about to walk towards the elevator. But suddenly his steps came to a halt when he heard the voice of someone calling his name. Suddenly he turned his head back, and found Bima walking towards him.
"I've been following you since I got off the motorcycle ojek earlier," said Bima when he was in front of Arumi.
"Really, I'm sorry I didn't see you earlier" Arumi said.
"Oh yeah, that was really exciting yesterday, I've only been working in this city for a year, so I don't have a lot of hangout friends next time we go again huh."
"Well, you're new to this town, and before you worked here where did you live?" ask Arumi curiously.
Bima was silent for a moment. He seemed to be thinking of an answer to cover up a fact about himself that he did not want to tell anyone, Arumi meant.
"Ah that .. in Bandung, yes Bandung," replied Bima in the end.
"Oh you're from Bandung."
Bima and Arumi were so busy chatting, that they did not realize that from ten meters away, there was a pair of brown neutrals staring intently at them. Aril who was standing behind Alfaro also noticed Arumi. He recognized the man who was with Arumi. The man is the man in the photo.
"Aril.." call Alfaro.
"Yes, Sir?"
"Who is that guy?"
"Looks like Miss Tuan's co-worker."
"You didn't cover anything from me, did you?" alfaro asked without looking at Aril.
glaques.
Aril swallowed with difficulty. Free on the cover, if in the end Alfaro will find out too.
Alfaro continued his steps, entering a special elevator that only he and some other company officials were allowed to use.

Arriving at his office. Alfaro immediately sat on his great chair, staring intently at Aril, as if waiting for an explanation to come out of the mouth of the secretary. Looking at the boss's face, without further ado, he opened his briefcase and grabbed a large envelope containing photos of Arumi while at the Mall.
"This photo was taken yesterday, when Miss was at the Mall with her friend Dinda and the man. Sorry because I had thought if there was no need to report this, because I suspect they were just meeting for a hangout together and no other intention," said Aril with a downcast face.
Alfaro smiled his smile while looking at the photo. Where Arumi was seen laughing freely while with Bima. The laughter that Arumi never showed while she was with him. He crushes the photo in his grasp. For some reason, but slowly he began to be disturbed if there was a man in Arumi's life other than himself.
"I forgive you this time, but next time, if you want to hide something from me think more intelligently, I'm not a person who can be lied to" said Alfaro with his flat face.
"I'm sorry, sir, I won't repeat it again."

Day by noon. With a hasty step Arumi took a hard step, because the pile of documents he brought almost covered his head.
Bugs.
Unfortunately, Arumi instead hit someone until the documents he brought fell scattered on the floor. What makes Arumi surprised is that the person he hit was a woman who looked older a few years from him, in the pocket of the woman was listed by the name of clara with the position of chairman of the finance team. The woman's face looked extremely fierce as she looked at Arumi.
"You don't have eyes!" screech the woman.
"Ma-maf Miss, I accidentally, after all Miss is okay," said Arumi.
"Oh, you're the new officer yes, who has only been working a few days, has been given the confidence to make a presentation in front of Mr. Al, don't be pretentious yes you, here I have to senior, I have to be senior, you don't know yourself" said Clara with a condescending look.
Arumi was seen sighing with a long, it turns out women like this are not only in the soap opera story. But in the real world there are also.
"Sorry Miss, instead of your words being outrageous, I have apologized, after all, my documents have become this mess" said Arumi who boldly looked into Clara's eyes.
"You want to fight me huh!!" clara then starts pulling Arumi's hair, until Arumi grimaces in pain.
Arumi does not accept being treated like this, even though he is a new employee but should not be a senior behaving arbitrarily to new employees. Finally, he also pulled Clara's hair and there was an action of mutual enslavement.
The fight was inevitable, Arumi's shirt to tear in the chest because it pulled Clara. People started crowding around, trying to break up but it didn't seem to change anything. Clara becomes more and more of course Arumi will not let it, he must defend himself, the world is never on his side, if not he himself who protects himself, then who else.
Stop it!!!!
The voice echoed around the room, making Arumi and Clara stop their fights. That person was Alfaro. Yes, he accidentally passed by and immediately saw the incident of a fight that according to one of the employees, that the fight occurred between Arumi and the chairman of the finance team. Of course Alfaro would not stay silent.
With his firm steps, Alfaro who was followed by Aril from behind, split the crowd that swarmed Arumi and Clara. Alfaro's gaze was directly focused on Arumi. He could see Arumi in a disheveled condition with a hand covering the part of his clothes that had been torn due to Clara's actions.
Alfaro clutched his hand tightly as with his own eyes he saw Arumi's underwear which was visible due to her torn clothes. It felt like he opened his suit and covered Arumi's body, but he could not do that, too many eyes were watching this incident.
"You two come with me, now!" alfaro then stepped away leaving the crowd.
