It's That You? (You're the One I'm waiting for)
Part 3
🌺Happy Reading🌺
A bright Monday morning followed me to work far away from home. I drive my favorite matic motorbike to split the streets are quite crowded. Hustle and bustle of large and small vehicles passing through the road that is not so big.
After two days off from the accumulated work activities, it required me to return to struggling with an endless line of work. It still feels like a holiday, but my responsibility is waiting.
When I arrived at work, I greeted some of the people I met.
“Morning!” my broom when entering a room that is not so big but enough to make me comfortable at work, added friends of the team who are very compact and humorous.
“Widih, spent 2 days off from the spirit of bener” chirps one of my co-workers who is more senior than me.
“obviously dong bang, can sleep full yesterday” my grin while sitting on my desk.
“mantap bener, ngiri dah,”
Knock my friend by shaking my head, I just smiled looking at him. Shortly after, 2 of my team came together.
“Wih, tumben item here?” godaku who saw the pair of men and women walking together while chatting.
“meet in loby mbak” replied the girl with a smile sumringah
“mbak kira leaving together, ya ga Zal?” my god to the guy I know the guy named Rizal has a taste in the girl named Rindi.
Rizal just smiled with a red face. Seeing those two that I thought looked so cute made me happy.
“If Rindi wants to anyway, I am ready to shuttle mbak” her answer makes me widen my smile even more.
“Kode tuh Rin, if mbak mah okay, please deh, right Bang?” I went on to ask for support from my senior, bang Ghani.
“Yoi, gapapa lah, brother brother who peling small there keep”
Laughter finally reverberated in the room, while the two men and women who were the subject smiled shyly with a red hue on their cheeks.
The atmosphere of the morning was so warm and could add to my enthusiasm to work on the files that had been piled up in my email.
At lunch, a man knocked at our door, with a big smile but looking shy he asked for permission to enter and handed us a thick sheet of paper,
“Boiled, gercep bener Fan, congrats yes!!” bang Ghani said after seeing the paper that was thrust at him.
“Iya bang, pray ya bang”
“Siap” answers again with sumringah,
We also congratulate Fanita, our partner from the marketing division who just shared a wedding invitation for us.
After he left our room, I let out a long sigh and placed the wedding invitation that looked so simple yet elegant golden brown on the table.
For a moment, my mind glared, thinking back to my current life, at the age of 29, I was still alone, sad, between happy and sad at the same time. Happy because my workmate has found her soul mate and met the happiness of being married, but the sadness is also approaching, more to be envious, why until now I am still alone.
Looking at even many of your high school or college friends who have been married for a long time, even already have children not only 1, but me? Even a soul mate has not been seen. Huff….
“we leave tomorrow together aja ya” chirps bang Ghani disperse my daydream, coincidentally the event listed on the invitation coincides with Sunday.
“emang bang Ghani ga sama wife?” ask Rindi, please,
“OK deh bang, be flexible only tomorrow” replied Rizal with a big smile.
“Mbak Ara how?” taya Rindi who was looking at me fell silent, without responding,
“Mbak mah join aja” answered me trying to cover the pain in my heart.
“oke deh, just together, later bang Ghani who picked up huh?”
“wih, it's far from real if you pick up one-one” complained bang Ghani when imagining picking up his men with a considerable distance, Ghani said,
“Gather at Rindi's house, just in the middle of tuh” my chirps give advice, because I realize that my house is the farthest between them, and my,
“eh, may mb, Fanita's house is also not far from my home” replied Rindi enthusiastically, with enthusiasm,
“how is bang?” asked Rizal to represent me and Rindi asked our senior who was thinking,
“By me, that's okay”
“OK, deal yes?” askaku in the thumbs of the three, then I returned to struggling with the computer in front of me before lunch hour arrived.
***
“Mbak want to buy eat out ndak?” asked Rindi who was standing from her seat when lunch time had arrived.
“ndak Rin, mbak bring provisions, you do not bring?”
“Ndak mbak, mama ga cook, so Rindi ga bring”
“Ke canteen yuk Rin?” invite Rizal who has stood up and heard that his idol did not bring supplies, a good luck according to him, there is a chance to invite him to lunch together.
“Lah later mb Ara himself here, bang Ghani ga no”
“Gapapa Rin, there if you want to go to the cafeteria, mbak here aja”
“Eat in the canteen aja yuk mb, the provision is brought aja”
“next time aja deh Rin, mb must check some files as well, abis break in wait pak Rusli”
“hmm, yes deh” replied Rindi looked a little lethargic because she had to eat alone without me, but how else, she would also know how Mr. Rusli who was so disciplined about the report, while there are some data that I still need to check again.
After the two of them left the room, a silent atmosphere enveloped my room at this time, just me alone here, I grabbed the lunch box I had prepared this morning, he said, I ate slowly though with great difficulty I swallowed it.
To be honest the data I will hand over to Mr. Rusli has been settled since, but this heart feels reluctant to face the atmosphere of the cafeteria that is so boisterous, moreover, we have just received a wedding invitation from an employee who has not been in this office for a long time. It will definitely be their main language, it feels so tight in the chest, but I can not get out.
I repeatedly sighed and then continued to eat my lunch until I was left alone.
It was quite a hard day earlier this week, I repeatedly recited Istighfar in a clean manner, hoping that the tightness in this chest would feel more loose. Trying to encourage yourself not to envy the happiness of others, all are in accordance with their respective portions. Hasn't Rizqi, a soul mate, life and death been decisive? so maybe it's not time I found my soul mate.
Ara spirit!!! You are a strong woman!!
Thankful for what is currently available, you will definitely find your soul mate someday.
