I'm Not a Wild Grass

Confession (POV Laila)

"La, you're called head manager noh. He said right now up!" Teh Dira, one of the logistics division staff delivered bad news to my ears after I returned from the cafeteria.

Today, I went back to eating alone. Nindi is still sick. And Erlan didn't come in either. I wanted to collect my meatball tribute from the young man because he had left me home last night.

Hearing the bad news that the conch let me go to his office, making my stomach immediately feel heartburn.

"duh. How's this? Up, right? But in the future he wants to be hot in broad daylight gini? Uh! I'm just going to cuekin!"

In the end I decided to assume the wind and then the conch told me. I thought, if I was being indifferent to him, he couldn't possibly continue to chase after me, right?

And he said he liked me? Hid. Bullshit was right about that! We may have known each other for a month. So how can he say that he likes me? While every time we met, I always felt like our interactions were like Tom and Jerry. Always hanging!

So, how could Tom like Jerry? Swum. Suddenly I felt amused myself. I just deleted my sentence. How could Jerry like Tom? I'm her cat. The conch being the monkey, uh, the rat! Nying rat nying!

As a result, I continued my activities throughout the afternoon with no sense of burden. I completely forgot the Conch's word and continued to do my duties from one floor to another.

Towards the time of returning home, only then did I return to base camp after busy traveling there and here. As soon as I got closer to the base camp, I saw Theo standing at the door. He seemed happy when he saw me.

"Oh my goodness, Laa! Where the hell is it? Why would you go to Matiin?" Ask Theo from a distance.

"Why the hell, The? I think it's very important. My HP is lowbat. And I helped the marketing division. They are again chasing the deadline to make material for the meeting tomorrow morning. Keep-and-"

"Udah! Already! Don't talk anymore! Cepetan get into base camp, there! I have been waiting for so long!" Sergey Theo with a desperate expression on his face.

"Why the hell? Who are you waiting for..?!!" Ask me as I step into the basecamp room.

At first I only saw a few of my co-workers standing still with scared expressions on their faces. I felt an oddity in their expressions. Until I finally found out the cause of all my coworkers were so scared and did not rush home as usual.

Because at the end of the room, where usually Mas Idham sat on his throne, has now been replaced by someone else. Mas Idham stood near where his table was.

The one who occupies the throne of Mas Idham is none other than Kiyano. The conch breng sek it!

For a moment of surprise, the next second, I spontaneously wanted to turn around and go as far away from this place as possible. But then I saw the faces of my friends who were staring at me in wonder mixed with anxiety.

And realize me now, if my situation is still quite safe, because I am not only with the two conch breng sek. Feeling that I have reinforcements if something happens at any time, I try to strengthen myself and face my boss.

With heavy footsteps, I approached the table where Kiyano, who was now looking at me with a gaze I could hardly understand. Not angry, but not friendly. Ah, mumet is right on my mind right now!

"Ss.. afternoon, Chief!" How I try to be brave.

The snail did not return my greeting. He was still crying and looking at everyone around me.

"This hour, you're not home yet?" Suddenly the conch asked everyone.

Instantly, all my co-workers immediately looked relieved and hurried to tidy up their belongings to go home. I don't want to lose either. I hurried to grab my handbag in the employee's closet and was about to go to the dressing room to change my OB's shirt with the shirt I wore when I left this morning.

However, my movements were suddenly stopped by the Conch.

"Laila! You stay here! I have something to talk to you about!" Tell the conch with its bow.

I immediately widened my eyes right into the eyes of the Conch. I realized suddenly all the movements of my other OB colleagues also slowed down, even stopped when I heard the conch's words earlier.

'He wants to be with me again here, and I'm his moons?! Big no's! No! Obviously not going to!' I am determined in my heart.

Finally, I decided not to change clothes. I put my copy in my bag, and I'm going to go straight home.

"Laila! Did you hear my talk?!" Call the Conch from the throne of Mas Idham.

Feeling a little trepidation, I looked at the face of my OB colleague who was now staring at me pity. But they immediately lowered their faces and did not dare to look at me again. I also immediately felt careless because no one dared to accompany me at this base camp.

"Sorry, Sir. It's already home time. Laila doesn't have a motor. So he usually takes care if he wants to go home. So I'm waiting for Laila to be okay, sir?" Say Bagas suddenly.

I looked at the Stove with a grateful look. Didn't expect that the Stove turned out to be quite brave and good too. I felt sorry for having fucked her this morning.

My eyes then turned to the conch. Now the man looked seriously at Bagas.

"Whatever. What's your name?" Ask the conch suddenly.

Asked like that, I caught a stir in the voice of Bagas.

"Bbb.. Bagas, Sir!"

"O.. Bagas."

Tics. Tak. Tics. Tak. A moment of silence. Until then the conch asked again.

"Who are you, Laila? Her boyfriend?" Ask the Conch.

"But! Amit-amit! No, Sir! I'm a big winner with the mercon, uh, this Laila!"

The look of my thanks to Bagas immediately changed a nyolot look because it was upset with the words of Bagas baru san.

'Amit-amit said?! Damn it, Bagas! Who wants to be her boyfriend! The heat! Breng sek's bottom too he!' curse me in my heart.

"good. Then, you can wait for Laila if you want. But I warn you, if the conversation between me and Laila is something that is private. So I wouldn't like it if people were eavesdropping on our conversation..." Said the Conch threateningly.

I went back to anchor my wish to Bagas. Hope the threat of the conch doesn't dampen the young man's courage to keep waiting for me to come home. Yet..

"Eer. if so, I go home first, yeah, La. Mm .. afternoon Sir!" Pamit Bagas with a step rushed out the door.

Seeing the Bagas who went home first, some of my other OB colleagues rushed to the door. It makes me feel scared. Unconsciously, I just screamed.

"Friends! Don't go home first dong! Don't stay in Laila alone with Key-uh, Mr. Kiyano.. Laa.. Laila.." I stammered. Feeling nervous because I was almost free to call the nickname conch to my boss.

I hope no one realizes what I said. But it looks like everyone at base camp caught my freak gelagat.

"Hhh.. Laila, can't we just talk to each other privately? Or will you be more calm if any of your friends hear our conversation?" Kiyano asked who suddenly stood quite close behind me.

I was shocked when I heard Kiyano's very close voice. I just turned around and stared at him.

"Yes! If you're brave, say it right now!" Challenge me to my boss.

I see all my OB colleagues seem surprised by my sassness towards our head manager. I don't give a shit. If I have to resign, it's okay. Not getting a salary is okay. As long as I can survive the current tense situation.

I saw the conch breathing quite deeply. And, after a few seconds passed in silence, suddenly a confession was uttered in a loud voice. Witnessed by me, as well as all my OB colleagues who were still standing glued by the door.

"Lalila Matoa. I.." The conch seemed to flick his hair once. Before continuing his speech again.

"Gue needs to tell you how many times he's been to Lo. If I like it, Lo! So pliis, don't run away and rip me off like a village criminal! I'm fine, La!" Reveal the conch in its non-formal language.

I was stunned when the snail looked straight, staring right into my eyes. Also to my heart.

Ba dump's. Ba dump's.
