"Thank you, Aldi, let's stop by!" Aishah got out of Aldi's car.
"It's too late Aish, next time." Aldi smiled at Aishah. Then Aldi turned back the car he was driving. Aldi's car darted in the darkness of the night.
Seeing Aldi's car starting to move away, Aishah immediately entered the house. Aishah did deliberately bring her own house keys, because she did not want to wake her pakdhe and budhe who had slept when she came home too late. And it turns out to be true, Aishah came home late at night. When Aishah arrived home, Pak Joko and Bu Sekar were already asleep. So Aishah decided to enter carefully.
Aishah's feeling tonight is very happy. Although there was little guilt to Doctor Viola and Doctor Dariel. Aishah felt that she had betrayed their trust. But Aishah tries to defend herself on the basis of wanting to unite the love of Doctor Dariel and Doctor Viola. After arriving inside the room, Aishah immediately laid her body on the bed. Aishah glanced at the clock on the wall already showing at one in the morning. So Aishah goes to bed soon so that tomorrow is not too late for work.
In the morning, Aishah prepared to go to the office. It appears that Pak Joko and Bu Sekar have been sitting waiting for Aishah to have breakfast with them. Aishha immediately pulled out a chair to sit down.
"Good morning, sir." Aishah sat down while smiling at Mr. Joko.
"Good morning Aish, what time did you come home last night?" Mr. Joko seemed to feed the food into his mouth.
"Jam one Pakdhe. Aish sees that Pakdhe and Budhe's room is dark, it looks like you guys are asleep, so Aish accidentally doesn't wake Pakdhe and Budhe." Aishah took the food into her plate.
"Who were you with last night Aish? Looks like Budhe didn't hear Doctor Dariel's car." Bu Sekar glanced at Aishah with question marks.
"Emm, delivered by Aldi Budhe." Aishah answered the question that was thrown by Bu sexr without looking at Pakdhe and Budhenya who were enjoying their breakfast respectively.
Suddenly, Aishah's answer made Bu Sekar and Pak Joko look up in shock. Mr. Joko looked at Aishah with his her gaze. While Bu Sekar looks from the look of his face that looks much more surprised than Pak Joko.
"Aldi?" Bu Sekar seemed to be in disbelief.
"Yes Budhe, when we had dinner, suddenly Doctor Viola got a call from the hospital to immediately perform surgery on one of his patients who was critical. Finally Doctor Dariel went along with Doctor Viola because he had to help Doctor Viola handle the operation." Aishah explained at length to the pakdhe and his budhenya.
"Then what about your new opening cafe?" Mr. Joko paused for breakfast the next morning and looked at Aishah.
"The plan is tomorrow night Pakdhe, Aish still has to prepare some needed equipment. About 70% of the preparation is complete. So there's 30% more." Aishah returned his pakdhenya eyes.
"Surely Pakdhe pity you. You have to work the bones day and night. Shouldn't you just pursue your efforts. If you look, your efforts are much more prospects than your work. After all, why do you have to work so hard, isn't your money already a lot?" Mr. Joko looked at Aishah seriously.
"Aish is also thinking about it Pakdhe. Actually Aish just wants to fill his free time." Aishah finished her breakfast the next morning.
"What did Pakdhemu Aish say. Budhe also can't bear to see you exhausted. Especially if you have to go home late at night." Bu Sekar also opened his voice.
"Well Pakdhe, Budhe Aish will resign from Aish's current job. But it might take a while. Aish still has a project Aish has to complete." Aishah always obeys what pakdhe and budhenya say that he has considered as his own parents.
Then Aishah said goodbye to immediately leave for the office. He was also thinking about getting out of his job. Upon arrival at the office, Aishah immediately struggled with her work.
"Good morning Aishah.." Aldi approached Aishah's desk with a big smile. He looked happy this morning. His mood seemed to be in a very good state.
Without Aishah noticing, Aldi was already standing right in front of Aishah's desk. Aishah looked up, he looked surprised by Aldi's sudden presence. Aishah looked to the right and left of her desk. His co-workers seemed to notice Aldi and Aishah. Aishah feels bad for being the center of attention of her co-workers. They looked at him with suspicious looks.
"Good morning, Mr. Aldi. Can I help you?" Aishah tried to stop the suspicious glares of her co-workers.
"Lunch will we eat together?" Aldi sat down at Aishah's table. Both hands he put on the table with his body slightly bent forward. Make Aishah's face and her face close together.
Aishah felt uncomfortable with Aldi's behavior that was too familiar. Once when they were friends, Aldi was very close to Aishah. People always think of them as lovers. However, now their situation and circumstances were already different. Aishah is a young widow, while Aldi is a Director at the company where Aishah works. Moreover, Aldi also already has a lover, namely Doctor Viola. And everyone who works in Aldi's office already knows that Aldi's lover is Doctor Viola.
"Sorry sir, if there's no need for me I still have a lot of work." Aishah spoke with focus on her work without looking at Aldi's face in the slightest.
Sorry Di, but I can't if we show our closeness in the office like this. I don't want any misunderstanding between me and Doctor Viola. Aishah muttered in his heart.
"Well then, happy work." Aldi got up from his seat and Aldi smiled at Aishah before leaving Aishah's desk.
Oh yeah, I'd like to tell Aldi about my new opening cafe. Why would I throw out Aldi like that. Duh..
Aishah hit her forehead gently. Although softly, Aishah regretted having kicked Aldi off his desk earlier. Finally after lunch time arrived, Aishah immediately rushed towards Aldi's room. Aishah gave Aldi an invitation for his opening cafe.
Tok…
Aishah knocked on Aldi's door. He deliberately rushed to Aldi's room so that Aldi did not rush to go to find lunch. After getting approval from Aldi to enter his room, Aishah immediately opened the door of Aldi's room and immediately entered.
"Eh Aish, would you like to take me to lunch? I'm ready. Come on!" Aldi stood up from his work chair to rush to lunch together with Aishah.
"Oh, okay please." Aldi pointed to the chair in front of him to let Aishah sit there. Aldi sat back in his chair.
"Look sir, I would like to invite you to come to my new opening cafe later tonight. I hope, Mr. Aldi deigns to be present at a simple event that I will direct later tonight." Aishah smilingly looked at Aldi, hoping to get a good welcome from Aldi.
"Surely I'll come Aish, where's the place?" Aldi seemed very enthusiastic about Aishah's request.
"This is Mr. Invitation, and about the place I will send the address through your WhatsApp number." Aishah handed over an invitation to Aldi. Then aloud, Aldi immediately accepted the invitation given by Aishah.
"Okay, is it? Yuk, we have lunch now. Hunt's up for lunch." Aldi Kambali stood up from his chair.
"Sorry Mr. Aldi, I feel bad if Mr. Aldi is too close to me. I'm not good with Doctor Viola. Because if Doctor Viola finds out we're very familiar, he'll certainly be jealous and think that's not-no. Moreover, all employees in this office already know if Mr. Aldi is the lover of Doctor Viola. Last time you came to the desk, all the co-workers seemed to be watching us with a suspicious look." Aishah explained at length
"Aish, didn't we agree to unite Viola with Doctor Dariel? Did you forget?" Aldi looked riled up.
"I didn't forget. But this is in the office, we should behave like superiors and subordinates only sir. I just don't want other employees to assume a no-no about us, because they don't know the truth." Aishah is still trying to make Aldi aware of his attitude.
"Well, if I'm in the office I'll behave like your boss. But all that only applies if we are in the office and at work hours only! Outside of work, we're still close friends, right?" Aldi smiled suspiciously at Aishah.
"Thank you for understanding Mr. Aldi. I'm out for lunch first." Aishah lowered her head and moved to leave.
"Wait for Aish, I think we'll have lunch together." Aldi pulls Aishah's hand to stop Aishah.
Aishah looked at his hand that was being held by Aldi. Aldi quickly let go of his hand.
"sorry.. " Aldi releases Aishah's hand.
"As I said earlier, sir, I do not want if our closeness when in the office is interpreted differently by the employees of Mr. Aldi." Aishah turned her body to face Aldi.
"Lunch is not Aish's working hours, time can't be!" Aldi looked riled up.
"Sorry Mr. Aldi, I ask for understanding from Mr. Aldi. I'm just trying to put myself in my place." Aishah lowered her head. Then Aishah left Aldi who still looked riled up.
"I don't think about why Aishah always thinks about other people's feelings. While his own feelings alone he let hurt and hurt." Aldi stared at Aishah's departure until Aishah's back was no longer visible.
Aish, you're still the same as before. You're still a kind-hearted Aish. I'm falling in love with you. I'm really wondering why Radit would waste a woman like you. He's really gone too far.
Aldi continued to mutter in his heart. Without realizing Aldi had gripped the papers on his desk. I don't think lunch time is almost over. But Aldi had not even had time to eat anything, but his stomach now feels very rumbling. Finally Aldi decided to deliver food only. Not long after, the food order had arrived delivered by his secretary. Aldi could eat and fill his already starving stomach.
While Aishah did not have time to eat, fortunately Aishah had a lot of breakfast, so he did not feel too hungry. Because a lot of work piled up, Aishah chose to continue her work only, because lunch time was also almost up.
When Aishah was about to photocopy her work files, she saw other employees seem to notice her while whispering.
"I didn't think she was wearing a hijab. It looks like a good woman. Though his girlfriend Mr. Aldi is a beautiful doctor, well again like to treat his employees Mr. Aldi that." Aishah heard some employees talking about it in whispers. Their eyes look cynical.
Aishah pretended not to notice them. Even though Aishah knows they're talking about it. Aishah didn't know why they could make such an issue in the office. The longer the news of Aishah and Aldi's closeness spread among employees in the office.
Until the time to get home from the office arrived. Aishah immediately packed up her things and immediately rushed home. Aishah was impatient to go home, Aishah felt uncomfortable listening to the other employees talk about it with Aldi.
"Aish wait!" Aldi called out to him from behind. Aishah stopped her steps and looked back. Aldi seemed to run after him.
"What's the matter Mr Aldi?" Aishah tried to be as polite as possible. Though Aishah had held back his emotions because Aldi who always approached him while in the office.
"We go home together! I'd like to talk about your show tonight, too." Aldi walks with Aishah's steps. Looking to the left right the employees noticed Aishah and Aldi walking together.
"Sorry Mr. Aldi, I use my own car. If you want to ask about the event later tonight, you can contact me via wa ya." Aishah tried to keep smiling. Even though his heart was angry.
Aishah immediately passed away without caring for Aldi who was still standing looking at his departure. Aldi noticed the other employees were watching him with Aishah earlier. Now Aldi just found out that the employees of one office are discussing his closeness with Aishah. However, when Aldi saw the employees who seemed to whisper about it, they were immediately frightened and pretended not to know anything.
So this is why Aishah always tries to stay away from me. It turns out that among the employees of one office is circulating the issue of my closeness with Aishah. There must be one person who is the culprit in this matter. I have to find out who it is.
Aldi was back. Then Aldi walked out of the office to get his car and went home. Aldi wants to go home soon to prepare for his arrival at Aishah's new opening cafe later tonight. Aldi does not want to be late and does not want to disappoint Aishah.
