Quite unexpectedly, it turns out Siska has great guts. He was standing right in front of me.
***
Mas Yandri had just finished breakfast when his phone clinked. Without saying anything, he gave me his phone.
[Sir, I'm at Orchid's doorstep. The door to the room can not be opened because it is not a clock.]
"Yes, Neng came out first, Mas," I said.
Mas Yandri nodded. Just as I was about to open the door, he said,
"Please help me settle this, Neng."
I looked at him for a moment and stepped out.

Siska looked surprised when she saw me.
"Because it is not a clock, the main door is opened. If you want to enter must use a card," I explained without being asked.
"Temenin I coffee yuk."
Bumbling Siska nodded her head and followed my steps towards the canteen.
***
I offered him a meal but he only ordered a glass of lemon tea. I ordered a cappuccino myself.
To eliminate awkwardness, I spoke lightly while waiting for our order to be delivered. Besides, I don't want to while we're having a serious chat, to be interrupted with the order delivery process.
"Since when?" I said as soon as the person who delivered our order left.
Siska looked at me with a question mark look.
"Since when have there been any special feelings for my husband?"
I don't see any surprise on his face. I can assure you, he was brave enough to openly confess to me.
"From the first time Mr. Yandri worked here, ma'am" he replied.
"OKAY. One more thing, what do you mean by coming here today?" I took a sip of my drink to ease the emotions that were starting to rise.
"I.., um...,"
"Is there an office?" my chase.
The girl in front of me shook her head.
"So?"
Siska was still silent. Silence, I take it as a form of gathering courage to say something.
I smiled and tried to sit as quietly as possible. I imagined, directly hit him with the chair I was sitting on. But no, I just smiled and kept quiet.
"Oh okay." Really, it's hard to get a long line out on a girl who clearly admits she likes my husband.
"What do you mean, ma'am? Mama's not mad? Do you accept that I like Mr Yandri?" I can catch the curious tone in his voice.
"I'm not angry."
Seeing him who was back in silence made me decide to end it soon enough to get here.
"I never blame you or any woman for having feelings for my husband. With notes, just a feeling. I understand, feelings are not something that can be controlled."
I went back to sipping my drink. "But if the feeling is transformed into action, I will not remain silent. You know what I'm talking about?"
The girl in front of me shook her head. I don't know, I was upset and wanted to laugh at the same time because I saw him confused by my words. I have used simple language.
"If you just like my husband without doing things that make my husband like you too, I will just shut up and consider this conversation to be non-existent.
But if you have other intentions, in the sense that you like my husband and want to have him in various ways, I'll intervene directly."
Siska's face showed that she now understood what I said. "Pak Yandri is paying attention to me" he said
"What kind of attention? If the attention he gives is the same as the attention he gives to other employees, sorry if I have to say this, you are not special.
I know my husband is friendly and tries to be kind to everyone. By no means.
Having special feelings for people's husbands is not wrong, but it would be very wrong if you tried to seize what is not yours. Oh right, this is no warning, just advice as a fellow woman."
"But I find it hard to forget how kind Mr. Yandri was to me." The girl started to sit up agitatedly.
I coughed before speaking.
"May I give you one thing? If you like my husband for his kindness, believe me, my husband's kindness is the same for everyone. We should be doing good to others, right?
You were too young and misinterpreted the attention of my husband. Now I want to ask, you mean confess if you like my husband what?
You are too naive to think that by confessing, I would be willing to share my husband with you. It's not that easy. The figure of my husband who is now more or less formed because of me as well. I can't guarantee he'll be the same person you were with. Because you are not me.
So think again if you want to do something reckless and clearly wrong. Taking someone else's property is wrong. You won't get anything.
You are still young, there is still plenty of time to upgrade and improve. When you are better, God will send someone worthy of you. Who will treat you more than you want."
Siska bowed and cried.
"I know it will be hard to get rid of the feelings you feel. At least you will feel pain. But believe me, feeling pain in the process of eliminating your feelings for my husband will make you a stronger and smarter figure, because you are still in the right corridor.
If you are reckless, you will get nothing, especially happiness. For there can be no happiness for one who can destroy the happiness of another. The choice is yours, Siska." I closed the conversation.
