Look At Me Once

Look At Me Once
Kuntilanak Is Much More Polite



Lathifa came out of her room and prepared to go to the campus. Despite still being overshadowed by the events that had befallen her in the cafeteria a month ago, Lathifa tried to remain calm and ignore the judgments of some students who still found her guilty.


A week after the incident, Chaca came to see him and apologized for his actions. They make up again, even though their relationship is not as close as it used to be. But they remain friends, Lathifa has forgiven Chaca's mistakes.


Anisa sees a neat Lathifa in a trendy teen suit today. He stared at Lathifa's appearance from top to bottom.


“You want to go to campus now?”


“Iya, Ma'am. Why?”


“Can I ask for help, Fa?”


“Ask what please, Ma'am?”


“Transfer this file to mas Al office, yes!” Anisa thrusts a brown map into Lathifa's hand.


“But ...”


“Please! I hurriedly had to attend a seminar outside the city, Fa.”


Lathifa was confused, she had never once set foot in her husband's office, and she nodded her head in doubt.


“Thank you, Fa. You deliver it before you go to college, yes. Urgen!”


“God willing, I leave first, Ma'am.” Lathifa nodded and shook Anisa's hand.


“Wait, Fa!” Anisa stops Lathifa from remembering something.


“What's there again?”


“Neg. But, are you sure you want to go to the Al mas office with clothes like that?”


Lathifa frowned her brows. “There is something wrong with my appearance?”


“Emm, no. Just-”


“Yes, Ma'am. I'm in a hurry.” Lathifa cut off Anisa's words and passed away leaving Anisa.


“But, Fa! Mas Al will definitely be angry to see your clothes!” exclaimed Anisa but useless because Lathifa had disappeared from his sight.


Anisa patted her forehead slowly, hoping Lathifa would not get a lecture from her husband on the clothes Lathifa was wearing for the whole time.


...*****...


Lathifa parked her car in front of her husband's company lobby. However, a security came to him and rebuked him.


“Sorry, Ma'am can't park here!” tegur.


“I'll be just a minute, sir."


“But here parking lot tops the company, Mbak. You can park there.” Security shows parking space for guests.


“I'm in a hurry, Sir.” Lathifa still did not want to give up.


“But, you can't park haphazardly here, Mbak.” That security's still holding Lathifa.


“Father doesn't know who I am? Later I report Mr. to be fired from this company.”


“Whose Ma'am is it?” security is relaxed.


“I?” Lathifa was confused as to what she wanted to answer, there was no way she could say that she was the second wife of the owner of this company. Her in-laws alone did not know that she was her daughter-in-law, let alone someone else.


“Iya. Whose mom?” rework that security.


“ Uh, em anu, Sir.” Lathifa tried to find a solution. “I'm his sister the owner of this company, Mr.” Lathifa tried to convince the security.


“Oh ...” security is mutilated.


Lathifa took advantage of that circumstance to run into the company lobby.


“Eh, Mr. Alwi right, only child.” Security realized it had been lied to, then rushed after Lathifa. “Mbak! Don't run!”


Lathifa's struggle is not over. In the lobby, the receptionist forbade him to see Alwi because he had not made an appointment.he was detained by the receptionist and also the security that was.


“But this is important, Ma'am. I just want to give you this map.”


“Sorry, Deck. This office is not a mall, so please Adek go. Don't make a fuss here,” scolds the receptionist.


Brak!


“You don't know who I am?” Lathifa was a little carried away by emotions because she felt underestimated by the receptionist in front of her.


“Pak Security, please take this woman out!” pinta the receptionist.


Lathifa rebelled when her arm was dragged away by two security men.


“Release! Don't touch me!”


“Mbak! You have to get out of here! Don't make a fuss, please cooperate!” said one security.


“Lease!”


Lathifa kept trying to rebel, but her strength was lost by the two burly men who held her. Lathifa looked at Raiyan who was about to enter the elevator.


“Pak Rai! Help me!” lathifa shouted, but it seemed like Raiyan did not listen to her.


“Pak Rai!”


“Mbak, don't scream! Or we will expel mbak in a dishonorable way.”


“Pak Rai!”


“Raiyan budek!!!” lathifa shouted with the rest of her strength.


Due to his shout, everyone who was in the lobby stared intently at him including Raiyan who felt his name was called someone.


Raiyan was surprised to find the young wife of his superior was standing in front of the lobby door with both arms held by security.


Lathifa gestured with her eyes for Raiyan to come closer. But the man could not catch the intent of Lathifa, Raiyan then raised his chin.


“Sini!” lathifa said furiously, she felt ashamed to be the center of attention of employees in her husband's company. Although no one knew of his status.


Raiyan walked closer towards Lathifa, everyone was astonished to see the assistant owner of the company so according to the words of the little girl in front of them.


“Lease!” Lathifa brushed off the hands of the two security who were in her arms.


Lathifa pulled the tip of Raiyan's suit and hid behind him leaving all eyes astonished.


“I want to deliver files for your boss.” Lathifa handed the map to Raiyan.


“Give yourself to sir Al.”  Raiyan refused because he was upset with Lathifa for her call.


“But I'm in a hurry, Om.”


Again Raiyan was annoyed by Lathifa. “Give yourself! It's your business, you're the one who was given the trust, not me!”


Raiyan turned his body and walked away leaving Lathifa. Lathifa had to chase after him and follow him into the elevator to her husband's room.


“This room pack Al, you can enter by yourself.” Raiyan wanted to leave, but was restrained because his hand was pulled by Lathifa.


“Om-”


“I'm not your om!” furious Raiyan, made Iwan startled and raised his head.


“Sorry. Accompany me to enter yes ...” said Lathifa showing her cute face.


Geck! Geck! Geck!


“Log in!” alwi's voice came from behind the door.


Raiyan opened the door and entered its depths followed by Lathifa.


“What's up?” alwi asked without taking his eyes off the stack of papers on his desk.


“There are people who want to meet.”


“Who?” alwi asked without raising his head.


“I want to give you this file! Even sent off the same receptionist downstairs. Said ‘Adek here office not mall ya’ they think I'm a kid!” lathifa grumbled with a contrived voice.


Raiyan wanted to laugh but he had to endure it after getting a sharp glare from Lathifa.


“Wear event my hand dragged-drag same security everything!” shoot Lathifa, walking closer to Alwi's desk.


Hearing Lathifa's words, spontaneously Alwi raised his head. He widened his eyes when he saw Lathifa's appearance.


Like a fire doused with oil. His heart rumbled to hear someone else touching his young wife, Alwi again made inflamed because Lathifa was wearing clothes that he thought were very disrespectful.


“What the fuck are you!” exclaiming Alwi instantly made Lathifa sculpt in place.


“What clothes do you use? Dress but naked.”


Not only was Lathifah shocked, but Raiyan was also no less surprised to hear Alwi's rude remarks to his wife.


In fact, Alwi is the type of person who respects his interlocutors and keeps his speech. Just because jealousy can make him forget to talk.


Lathifa observed his appearance, sneakers with torn jeans were not translucent and a long black t-shirt a little loose, pashmina wrapped around his neck but this time slightly dangled in front of his chest, plus a knitting tank top that is trending among young people today


“A-what? My clothes are loose, and his pants are also.”


“The clothes are more appropriate to use as underwear instead of outside, Lathifa!”


“But this is not underwear! this is again the trends among teenagers,” sela Lathifa.


“Kuntilanak clothes are much more polite than the clothes you wear now.”


Lathifa widened her eyes, not believing herself to be likened to an invisible being. While Raiyan tried to hold back his laughter.


“Bby trendy origin still syar’i! Appreciate yourself by wearing appropriate clothing for a Muslimah.”


“Tap-”


“Do not argue, Lathifa! Quickly remove that underwear!”


“No!” reject Lathifa.


Alwi stared intently at his wife, then turned towards Raiyan.


“You why are you still here?”


“Waiting Lathifa,” said Raiyan unconsciously, making Alwi glare more at him.


“Eh, meaning to accompany Lathifa, she said she was afraid to be alone in your room.”


“Out!”


Raiyan rushed out of the room before getting a tantrum from Alwi.


“What's the matter Mr Rai?” asked Iwan who found Raiyan out of his superior room with a face holding back laughter.


Iwan furrowed his brows in confusion, not usually Raiyan left a woman alone inside Alwi's room.


“Nothing, there are only people who are PMS. You continue your work.” Raiyan is back with his professional attitude.


“Good, Sir.” Iwan is increasingly confused, but he does not want to know more about the privacy of his superiors.


Shortly after, Alwi came out in the follow Lathifa who was walking behind him.


“Cancel meeting this morning!” alwi's orders to his secretary.


“Good, Sir.” Iwan stared at the departure of his superior with a puzzled face.


Lathifa tailed behind her husband while remaining down. He was embarrassed because all along the way everyone was staring at them.


How not? A girl who some time ago made a fuss in the company lobby, and now walks with the owner of the company in a leather jacket wrapped around his body.


Alwi escorts Lathifa to the campus with her car leaving Lathifa's car in the office parking lot. They first stop by the boutique to buy a robe for Lathifa.
