Kevin restarts his car leaving Erina. Erina turned her body lightly walking towards the fence of her house. How shocked he was when his eyes saw someone with a gloomy face coming out of the car staring at him with a deadly serious look.
"Dimas?" erina lirih
Dimas walked towards Erina who was standing looking at her manatang. There was no smile there. Erina tried to melt Dimas' mood while still smiling sweetly at him. Although it can be guessed that Dimas must be jealous to see himself with other men.
"Hi Dim.." greeted Erina with the sweetest smile.
"Since when did you dare stab me in the back?" dimas' words sounded cold and very piercing. Erina gaped in disbelief at what she had just heard.
"Ofrauass..." Erina rounded her eyes not accepting the painful accusation.
Dimas did not answer. Both of Dimas' hands were put in his pants pocket which made Dimas' gesture feel very cold and stiff. Dimas also deliberately turned his gaze in the other direction which made Erina feel even more guilty.
"What you see isn't what you think Dim is"
"Oh yeah? What am I thinking?" he said with a cold aura.
"Dimas... Please listen to my explanation first. I went to Tasya's shop. And I didn't meet Kevin there on purpose"
"So his name is Kevin?"
"Kevin's a classmate of SMU's with me. But we're just regular friends."
"Then you were taken home? And you want to?" dimas' speech was a condition for the language of ridicule that made Erina run out of words to refute it.
Erina was embarrassed. His current position was at a weak point. Although this is not entirely his fault, but it feels wrong. Dimas had misunderstood her.
"I'm sorry if this makes you angry. But Kevin just drove me home. That's it, nothing more"
Dimas squinted his eyes and walked towards the long chair in front of the fence of Erina's house. Erina followed and sat down next to him. Dimas was silent with a forward look. Somehow he had to be angry with the kindness of other men who had dared to take his woman home. There is a feeling of unwillingness to see his woman share happily with men other than himself. Plus Erina's face was very bright when driving the man back to his car. The roaring jealousy felt hard to be dashed away.
Erina stared in Dimas' still gloomy face. For a moment they were silent in each other's minds. Erina turned her gaze back towards Dimas. And again Dimas was still silent without even turning his gaze towards him. Erina took a deep breath to calm her heart. The thought of Dimas' hand that had been grabbed by him and leaned against his chin.
Dimas turned his gaze as his hands were grabbed and linked in Erina's grasp. Erina looked at him softly and presented a small smile to him. Unfortunately that smile turned into a grim smile because it was reciprocated with a cold look that was not merciful at all.
"Dimas, please believe me... I never had the intention to betray you. Until now, only you are a man who still fills the space of my heart. And about Kevin, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry. Don't be angry, Dim...
I'm...." Erina lowered her gaze helplessly looking into Dimas's eyes. The bite was strongly strong lower lip as a defense from the full dam of water that almost landslide.
Erina could not continue her words. His eyes are already glazed. His heart was too fragile if it had to be seen with Dimas. He just wants his relationship with Dimas to be fine without any misunderstandings. His indifference and coldness Dimas deeply made his heart like a vinegar-drenched wound. Perih and pain.
Dimas looked at Erina's sad face. Erina's words sounded honest and sincere. Dimas grabbed Erina's body and hugged her tightly. Dimas calmed his heart by taking a deep breath while closing his eyes.
"I'm sorry" she said softly as she kissed Erina's hair.
"I was carried away by emotion. I'm too jealous to see you with another man. I'm not mad at you" Erina calmed down a little with a soft swipe of Dimas' hand on her shoulder.
"I love you so much" Erina looked up at Dimas's face and threw a smile of relief.
"I love you too" Erina tightened her arms which Dimas responded tightly to.
"Have you eaten?"
"I'm hungry too. We're eating, yuk..." Erina nodded confidently and followed Dimas' steps into her car for dinner together.
#########
Today the working atmosphere in Erina's workspace felt different. The change in attitude of his co-workers feels very different. They were very friendly and warm to Erina. Unlike some time ago where the attitude of belittling and cynicism is very thick felt. But the changes that occur from them even feel foreign and strange. The warmth and hospitality they showed felt unnatural. Like there is fear because of the pressure or threat that is behind it. And it seems that what Dimas once said was true was realized by him.
And that doesn't seem to be the case for Mieke. Only Mieke was still acting arrogant and cynical towards him. Maybe because he is the highest leader in this division so... It might be legitimate if he behaves like that. Moreover, Erina's status was also still her subordinate even though her level had risen for the better.
Prraakkk.....
Erina raised her head, surprised as several piles of maps were thrown at her violently. He saw the face of Jutek Mieke who had been staring at him furiously.
"Loe can work anyway? Make a real report. Check again!!!!"
Mieke turned around by bragging his chin, his face was still pushed up as if showing his power. Erina simply took a deep breath holding back her emotions, receiving the harsh treatment from her boss just now. He took the map scattered on his desk, reopened it and read it again slowly.
Erina felt very confident that the report she made was correct and there was no mistake. All data has been adjusted to the reports of the staff and the data of the project head in the field. So this should be right. Then why are the files that he has arranged neatly thrown rough as if not useful at all?
Erina tried to straighten out the matter by compromising with Mieke. He ventured to his desk.
"Sorry Miss Mieke, may I interrupt her for a minute?"
"What's wrong?" I don't know why Mieke's voice is always thin with Erina.
"Sorry Mieke, I think the reports I've made are all appropriate. I've matched the data with the data from the staff and project heads that are in the field. Then what other part do you think is still wrong?"
Mieke arrogantly put down the pen he was holding and leaned his back on his big chair. He looked at Erina's face with a pesky look.
"Loe said everything was appropriate? Sure??"
"Yes, I'm sure"
Mieke smiled cynically before answering Erina's question. Mieke took some of her files and threw them in front of Erina's desk. Erina's startled reaction was inevitable. Erina reflex rounded her eyes towards Mieke.
"READ!!! Try to equate with the data that you entered into the report loe?" Erina took the file and started reading it carefully.
"Different right?" he continued with a triumphant tone because it has managed to make Erina realize her mistake.
Erina was indeed weak and easily defeated in terms of emotions. But Erina is not a stupid woman who can be deceived by a power. The data Mieke gave us turned out to be unvalid data. Where the data is data on spending plans that have not been approved. While the data that Erina receives from her staff is valid data that has been approved by the company that has been laced with the signature of the authorities and the company's stamp.
"Sorry Mieke, not that I want to refute my mother's statement. But Mieke's mother should have been more thorough. This data is not yet valid plan data that has not been approved by the company. While the data I enter is valid data that has been signed by authorized company officials and has been equipped with company samples. So please Mieke's mother is wiser in her actions. Excuse me...."
Erina moved out of her chair with great confidence. He didn't care about Mieke's reaction to him after this. Erina's emotions are really like being doused in gasoline that feels hot even though it has not been thrown fire on it. Her chest felt tight to hold back the frustration over Mieke's attitude towards her.
Mieke gritted her teeth and clenched her hands feeling very upset because she felt humiliated by Erina. So far no employee has dared to be brave to him. Only Erina who had been presumptuous dared to drop her pride clearly explained.
