I'm (Not) a Cheap Woman

Humble Maher

Three days had passed since Arka scolded Nisa. Despite being severely injured every time she remembers it, Nisa still survives to work in that office. All because of his great love for family.

Office girl still sick. Inevitably, Nisa replaces her duties. At 9, there will be a special meeting between superiors and partners. And Nisa assigned Arka to prepare the consumption.

There was still 1 hour for Nisa to prepare.

First, he ordered a banana cake snack box. Then, buy a medium-sized mineral water. Next, arrange. Snack box and mineral water that he put side by side on the table.

There's ten minutes left.

Nisa hurried to the pantry to make coffee. Seeing her metered out, Thira intends to help.

“No need Ra, you just sit down. Let's fresh later the meeting,” reject Nisa.

“Let's be quick, lest you get scolded for being slow to prepare coffee. Here I help!”

After a few minutes, Thira and Nisa walked side by side to the meeting room. They brought a few cups of coffee.

One by one the cups were then placed in front of the meeting participants.

The owner of the last cup looked at Nisa's face fixedly. “Nisa,” reprimand Maher.

Senior Nisa in Remus organization at High School. 27-year-old smart man, the same age as Arka. He is tall, white, and has narrow eyes.

Nisa turned her head quickly, the netra they met. “Kak Maher?” Nisa was a little surprised.

“During not meeting. How are you?”

“Alhamdulillah, good Kak.”

“You work here?”

“Iya, Brother.”

“So office girl?”

“Bukan Brother. I'm a staff member in the regional division.”

“Keep, why did you make coffee?”

“For a while, I was tasked with managing consumption. If the office girl in this office has healed, I focus on the division only.”

“The office should prepare a replacement office girl, not ask the staff. You must be bothered to take care of consumption as well.”

“Customize it, Brother. Make coffee is also quite practical, does not take much time.”

“Just your comfort. After the meeting, we will eat together. I still want to chat a lot with you and Thira.”

“But-”

“But what?”

“I don't eat at the cafe, Brother. From the beginning, I always bring supplies to the office. For cost-effective Kak.” Nisa laughed a little.

“This once, Nisa. I rarely come here. When else can we eat together. Just save your provisions, I treat you and Thira.” Maher stared at Thira, asking for approval through body language.

“Thank you senior. Just come along Sa, we'll take away. Mumpung paid for by Maher. Aren't you, Brother?”

“Iya, may. What doesn't make a great junior like you?”

“Wah, thank you Brother. Chat only Ra if the meeting is finished.”

“Each bestie.”

Farel who was assigned to present a presentation today was annoyed to see the closeness of Nisa with Maher. He feels jealous, without knowing what Maher and Nisa are really talking about.

The single man then spoke inwardly. “Don't, Nisa cuek to me because pak Maher.”

Nita disbanded Farel's monologue. “Woyyy, ngab conditioned eyes. Don't run anywhere, focus on the laptop. Buruan open his meeting. Look tuh, Mr. Arka glared.”

Farel immediately looked at his cousin. It forms a peace symbol with its index and middle fingers.

“Kiyowo what? His face is stupid so.”

“Hehe. Yes, much different from your face that is super handsome.”

Shortly after, Dara's stomach rang. This is a snack box that looks beautiful from the outside. Moga the contents are also delicious and beautiful in shape.

“Daebak,” praise. That delicious Banana cake is now on the way to his mouth.

Before long, that piece of cake was gone.

Arka thrusts her snack box. “Eat this too. Let's be more contained,” the door then refocus attention Farel.

“Saranghae chagiya.” For the second time, Dara enjoyed a piece of banana cake while capturing every important point that Farel presented.

Because of her focus, Dara did not notice there was a cake left on the tip of her lips. Not staying still, Arka wiped it with tissue.

“Lucky beut has become bu Dara. Got a girlfriend's attention cake Mr. Arka. Damn, make them jealous. Hiks,” Inner Nita.

***

After the meeting, Thira immediately sent a message to Nisa. “Sa, we meet below yes.”

“Siap Ra!!”

Nisa also slid to the 3rd floor, where the cafeteria. Apparently, Thira and Maher have not yet arrived at the office cafe.

He then opened WhatsApp, replying to the inbox that Thira sent. “What do you eat? Let me order it now. Not many people queued.”

“Nisa asked Kak, said we want what message?”

“I follow to you guys only.”

“As far as you Sa. Just uniform the menu,” send Thira.

All attendees to the cafeteria...

“Soto Betawi three. Dragon fruit juice is also three, yes Mbak.”

After a few minutes, Thira and Maher arrived as well. Along with the arrival of the menu ordered by Nisa.

However, as they were about to sit beside Nisa, Dara approached. “Let's have lunch with us in the VIP room.”

Maher and Thira lift the Betawi soto, as well as its dragon fruit juice.

Maher looked at Nisa. “Come, we eat there!”

Nisa immediately glanced at the spacious room that was bounded by that translucent glass. Everything inside is the boss. It was just a VIP room. It was only fitting that ordinary staff did not seem like anyone had entered it.

He felt ashamed. “That's a VIP room, brother. Ordinary staff like me can't enter.”

“Aigo, who said you can't come in? The king! We're into.” Dara clasped Nisa's hand.

Not happy to refuse Dara's request, Nisa participated in the room that he said VIP.

Thira, Maher, and Nisa tell a lot about their past in High School. Starting from his deg-degan to become an apple builder. Until the experience of skipping to a friend's house when the teacher doesn't come in.

All discussed

The three of them shared laughter with each other. It is like creating a group within a group. Without realizing it, their excitement became the center of attention of some people.

“From his movements, Mr. Maher must love Nisa. I must quickly declare love to Nisa. Don't get stabbed Mr. Maher,” thought Farel.

“Jealous heck. But your food should not be taken too,” scold Nita who is enjoying her rice ulamnya.

Farel remained sculpted. His sight could not escape from Nisa.

Nita is upset. “For Nisa, my relationship with Farel is so foreign. Just look out for you Nisa, sooner or later you must I get rid of this office.”

Arka was upset. “Smooth once this kid. Obviously Nita likes him, but he's just smitten with Nisa. Nita's mouth was indeed thin, but she was always there when Farel was in trouble. Farel's heart may have been damaged, so he couldn't tell the difference between quality women and second-hand goods. Yesterday Farel, now Maher is on the hook. Cheap woman,” her monologue in heart.
