Imperferct Partners

nearly tarnished

For a week, Naya felt that the entire job in her division was thrown at her. His body was already crumbling, his bones seemed to lose function. Dina really intended to make him feel at home and came out willingly.

Naya has always been the last person out of her room. He was always overtime to be able to finish the job so that Dina would not nag him anymore. Not because of fear, Naya is just lazy to serve Dina's annoying attitude. Diandra and Dimas always accompanied her, but seemed to understand..Dina always gave work outside the office to her two friends. During this week, the two only accompanied Naya twice, after they returned home from the outside duties Dina had given them.

"You're overtime again, son??". That soft voice always managed to make Naya get excited again.

" Yes mom.."

"Why is every day overtime?? Can't you do it tomorrow?".

" Are there no employees besides you??! Why are you always overtime?!". Spray Kirei over there.

" Let's finish mom.."

"You must be tired darling.if you can't do anything Nay, just go home.here..near mommy same daddy". Naya almost cried hearing Kirei's words. But he held back his tears with a smile.

" Nay gapapa mommy's..Nay is fine". Naya gives her best smile to the mother so as not to worry too much about her.

"Too gitu Nay continue to work first yes mom.da mommy. Love u's..Assalamualaikum.."

Naya disconnects the phone after Kirei returns her greeting. The girl who had just smiled was laying her face on the table. His shoulders up and down signified that he was crying.

Before long his phone rang again, he saw the caller's id and it was a man he had not seen for a week. He was upset, angry, why he missed so much. Missing all his attention, longing for his gentle voice, longing for his annoying demeanor and longing for the man's charming smile. Why just a regular phone call, why not a video call so that he can see the handsome face.

Naya let out a long sigh before picking up the phone that came from Al. He did not want the man to know that he was so fragile and crybaby.

"Assalamualaikum sis.."

"Wa'alaikumsalam.. What else is Kay?". Al's question almost made the girl cry again.

" It's still in my office.." Answer Naya lirih.

"You're overtime again? You're not tired?". His eyes are back watering. Drop by drop wet his cheeks. But he tried to muffle his voice so as not to sob.

" No ka-k.." Naya's voice stammered as a result of holding back her cries.

"Kay..are you crying??"

Naya was stunned, she smothered her mouth so as not to make a sound. Being too close to Al made him always unable to cover up his sadness and fragility.

"Kay.. are you still there??".

Naya kept her phone away from her ear. He inhaled as much air as he could to fill his lungs, which felt congested as if he was running out of oxygen.

" I'm-I'm fine, brother. I continue to work, brother..Assalamualaikum ". Without waiting for Al's answer, Naya turns off her phone connection. He then slid his face between the hands he had folded on the table.

" Huhu..Nay tired mom.huhuhu.." Naya was stunned, crying alone in a room that felt very lonely because it left only her alone.

"Because-pa Di-na hates Nay, mom.."

"Nay..Nay doesn't feel like a problem..."

"K-why.hu. Why is all this work being given to Nay.."

Nay continued to cry while complaining about what he was going through, even though I don't know who because there was no one else but him.

Moments after being satisfied crying, Naya sat up straight and then removed the remains of tears that were still imprinted on her cheeks.

"Cannot. You can't cry Nay!! This is nothing. You can do it!!". Naya clenched her hands. Gathering back the spirit that had been scattered due to fatigue.

So engrossed with all his complaints, the girl did not realize that since then there was a pair of eyes that kept watching him. Even those sharp eyes looked dewy looking at the girl who had just started to cheer up again crying.

He wanted to come closer and hold the girl tightly. But he paused it because he did not want Naya to feel disturbed by his presence.

" Sister sure you're a strong Kay.you're a strong girl". Al stared deeply at the girl who was back immersed in a job that seemed to be very draining and sweet girl's mind.

Al continues to be there, watching and guarding Naya from a safe distance until Naya is unaware. Al immediately got up when he realized the suspicious behavior of an employee whose party was also overtime. Although he did not memorize one by one his employees, but he was sure that the man was not from the same division as Naya.

"Hi..blu too?". Naya gasped in shock at the voice of the stranger man in her ear. He immediately turned around and found a man standing with a strange grin on his face.

" I-iya sir. But it's done.." Naya hurriedly cleaned up the documents that were still scattered on her desk. He has no intention to continue his work which is only a little more. The arrival of the man she did not know made her a little afraid. Moreover, the condition of the office is very quiet.

"I'm sorry sir". Naya draped her sling bag over her shoulder and was about to pass. But the man Naya estimates is 40 years old who has since noticed her has already blocked her hand.

Naya made a revolt, trying to get her hand out of the man's grip. But it didn't work because the grip was so strong.

" Leave me off sir. I have to go home". Pinta Naya.

"Wouldn't we have fun first?". Ask the man with his perverted grin. Naya's body trembled violently, she felt very scared but tried to hide her fear.

" Don't be rude sir. Here there is a cctv.so don't mess around and let me go!!!". Gertak Naya who actually made the man chuckle.

The man grabbed Naya's bag and threw it away when he saw Naya's hand sneak into the bag. Like the girl was about to contact someone.

"What are you doing!!!". Snap Naya

" We're gonna have a sweet girl fun". The perverted man was about to bring his face closer after successfully holding both of Naya's hands. But not yet had his face approached, his body had been knocked and slammed into the wall. The sound of angry screams filled the entire room.

"DON'T YOU EVER TOUCH HIM BA JINGAN!!!!". Naya who had originally closed her eyes immediately opened it when she heard the overwhelming voice she missed.

" K-kak Al??". Lirih Naya who had sat down while hugging her knees. He stared in disbelief at what he saw in front of his eyes.

Al did not hear Naya's voice, he was blinded with anger and beat up the breng sek man who intended to harass his girl blindly.

"THE KING!!!! HOW DARE YOU TOUCH HER WITH YOUR DIRTY HANDS!!". Al's hands did not stop beating with his mouth that kept swearing.

Naya stood up quickly, moving her legs as fast as possible to get closer to Al who was still hitting and kicking the man's body.

"Sister.." Naya's call was like the wind blowing unheard by Al.

"DO NOT STOP!!! You can kill him?!!!". Shouted Naya hysterically as she saw the face of the man who was intending to harass her was already full of blood.

" SISTER!!!!". Naya scatters hugging Al's back tightly, and it's efficient enough to stop her madness. Al's breathing was still panting, clearly still full of anger.

"Enough brother.don't.." Lirih Naya further tightened the winding of her hand in Al's stomach.

Assistant Al who had just come in shock saw a man covered in blood with a state of concern lying on the floor. While the boss who is also his best friend is being embraced by a girl he has not seen his face.

Al turned around, grabbed Naya's body and kissed the girl's head in droves. Al could not imagine what it would be like if he did not sit in the office and watch over Naya. Just imagine it has been able to destroy the heart of Al. He further tightened his embrace on Naya who returned his embrace and hid her face in the field Al.

The incident that had just happened to him really frightened him. What would he be if his Al didn't show up on time. Maybe it'll end up in the hands of that breng guy.

"W-What is this Han??". Ask Rian, Al's assistant.

" Him?? He's the head of the marketing division? Why is it here?". Rian asked because he did not get an answer to his first question.

"Take him to the hospital. After waking up, throw him in jail!! Don't let him get out even with any guarantee!". Rian gawked at Al's command which he had yet to fully understand.

" Bring this room's cctv footage to the evidence". Not yet had Rian digested Al's orders, the man had already re-ordered himself with another task.

"But--"

"Do it now, Yan!!". Al's tone of voice sounded indisputable. Rian could only sigh deeply and carry out the orders of his superior who was also his best friend.

Rian, aided by office security, takes the man who intends to harass Naya out of the room, leaving two people who still hug as if reluctant to let go.

" I'm afraid brother.." Jebol is Naya's defense. The girl finally could no longer hold back her tears as Al continued to hold her tightly.

"I'm here Kay.you'll be fine". Al stroked Naya's already elongated hair. Naya just nodded her head in Al's arms. Naya believes in all of Al's words, because all this time the man never reneged on his promise to take care of himself.

" We're going home, yeah.." Naya nodded back in Al's arms. Naya reluctantly takes off her embrace, fearing that Al will leave when she lets go of his.

Suddenly Naya felt her body drift. Naya's reflexes draped her hands around Al's neck, she stared into those sharp eyes that still left the anger. The eyes of the two intertwined, channeling a warm feeling in the hearts of the two.

Naya sucked her head in Al's chest which felt very comfortable. He felt safe around this man. While Al kissed the top of Naya's head and tightened his embrace on Naya.

With wide steps, Al took Naya out of her office building. The driver who saw Al coming out of the office immediately approached and bowed respectfully. He was the same man who invited Naya when she first set foot in this town.

"Please get the car ready, sir.."

"Good den.please wait a minute". Mr. Man ran back to the parked car not far from where Al was standing carrying Naya.

Al immediately brought Naya's body into the car without lowering it. Al tightened his embrace when he felt Naya also hugging his neck more tightly and deeper into his head dredged against his neck.

" I'm sorry dear.sorry brother who let bad things happen to you". Al repeatedly kissed the head of Naya. Again Naya just nodded, her body was already very tired. His job was not one hundred percent done, and he almost experienced sexual harassment by men he did not know.

"No promise will always be near you now. Brother won't let anyone hurt you by the end of your hair". Al held Naya's body in his lap.

" Sorry to. Where's it?". After being silent for a long time, Mr. Man ventured to ask his superior.

"My apartment sir.." After a moment of silence, Al decides to take Naya to his apartment alone. It is impossible to return Naya to her apartment under these conditions.

Very slowly, Al laid Naya's body that had been sleeping on her king-size mattress. He grabbed the child's hair that covered the beautiful face that looked still frightened.

Al stroked Naya's cheeks gently, kissing the girl's forehead for so long as to channel the feeling that was somehow what it was now. Anger, longing, worry as well as a feeling of relief mixed into one.

"Sorry brother, Kay.sorry". Al apologized repeatedly. He still imagined how the little guy touched his Naya.

Many times Al thanked for being able to save Naya from Ba Jingan who intended to harass her. He would absolutely never be able to forgive himself if something bad happened to his Naya.

"Rest, baby, brother will take care of you". Al again landed a warm kiss on Naya. He stood up and turned around to leave his room. But Naya's hand checks make her undo the intention.

" Ja-don't stayin' me brother.ak-I'm scared". The eyes that had been closed since then slowly opened. My eyes full of supplications were so heartbreaking to Al. Is that how it happened that the girl just experienced?? Will it be a deep trauma for the girl.

"Ssttt.kakak here baby. Brother's not going anywhere". Al held Naya's hand, kissed her. He then stroked Naya's hair, slowly closing her eyes. Today's events have drained her energy immensely.

Al again made sure the girl was asleep before he got up and reached into the phone that was nailed his pants. He intends to contact his assistant to ask about the development of the case of the bereng sek earlier.

" Yes the boss??".

"How's it?". Ask Al without further ado.

" oo..You don't trust me?? Even if there was even the greatest lawyer, the old man wouldn't be able to breathe fresh air".

"good. I'm closed". Al instantly turned off his phone without waiting for his assistant's answer. He was sure that his assistant was currently cursing and shouting at him silently.

Al turned to look at Naya who was already asleep. Al looked back at his phone when the phone ringing was heard again. But it didn't come from his phone.

Al picks up Naya's cell phone in the girl's pocket. There were many messages and calls from a person named Diandra and Dimas.

Not yet Al opened a message from Diandra, Naya's phone again rang with the name Diandra filled the screen of Naya's phone. Al swiped the green phone icon and stuck the phone in his ear. His mouth opened to greet the caller. But a worried voice across there made Al undo his intentions.

" *Nay... Where are you?!! Why haven't you come home??"

"Me and Dimas to catch up with you at the office. But there's no.."

"And why our workspace is such a mess, Nay. Are you all right, Nay???".

" Nay answer me. Don't make me worry*.. "
