Love, Let it Get Lost

Milk Caramel

After all the rest of my work was done and Nicko's schedules were copied for my replacement later, I immediately lifted my little box out of the room to actually leave the office.

When I came out of the room were some employees who were staring at me in surprise, and not a few of them were whispering while looking at me. I opened my eyes and walked away from them all.

I walked down the aisle towards the elevator in front of me, then someone seemed to be running towards me in such a hurry. That's Vionna, the head of HR, who just fired me. I walked away from her and didn't care.

“Fawnia.. Fawnia!” call her by chasing me.

I didn't respond to him and kept going, but he managed to stop my steps.

“Fawnia wait!”

I stared at her cynically, and she looked at me with a smile so bland as she set her breath panting in pursuit of me.

“I want to say that finally you are not so I fired” said as if he had given favorable news to me with his face that was so arrogant.

I ignored him and walked back.

“Fawnia! Didn't you hear? You didn't get fired, so go back to your room!” His orders arrogantly.

I turned my body and looked at him coldly.

“Sorry Mom. I am no longer interested in working in a company with incompetent workers like you” said I quipped his attitude that always underestimated the work of others by calling them incompetent.

I'm sure he must have been upset with me but somehow he didn't respond to my annoying attitude, even I had treated him cynically in front of other employees who were watching our drama,Vionna seemed unmoved.

I walked back to leave Vionna.

“Fawnia wait...wait” Vionna is still chasing me and holding me back.

“OK. shouldn't I take action like this by firing you without giving warning first. But that's my way so that employees can be afraid to be fired and work as well as possible”

“And mom thought I would be afraid of it” answered me with a ketus.

He kept staring at me clumsily.

“Not everyone can be afraid of such a Mom threat, especially me who already feel my job is right and done in his jobdesk. I will apologize if I am wrong, but if I am blamed for unreasonable reasons, I will always defend myself. So sorry, I'm not interested in working here”

I walked back leaving him who could only be stunned confused.

“Fawniaa,,fawnia”

I went back to being upset about being constantly held back by this woman and letting her have a chance to get her back to babbling.

“just this time I begged someone else. Faw” gave a confession and with a sad face, it did not look like it was when he fired me, like a starving forest lion, now he put on a face full of pity.

“Please get back to work, because Mr. Ferdy will come to fire me if you really get out of this office” he said expectantly.

I breathed so heavy. Heard she was acting this way because of the threat from Nicko. I turned my face away because I was too lazy to work here.

“I have 1 child. And she's still in school, she needs a fee for her future Faw. Because his father is dead, I beg you not to get me kicked out of this office”

I was surprised by his words.

He's so pinched. I remember Kara at home, and she was alone at home in need of a future so worthy. Pity if this woman is removed from her job and must return to find a new job. I felt so much about how to be him.

I breathed a heavy sigh to give up.

“Alright I will speak to Mr. Ferdy. But my decision to leave seems to have been absolute. I will only get Mr. Ferdy not to involve Mom on my exit”, I said.

Vionna seemed calm, but still seemed worried about not succeeding in persuading me not to leave this company.

I turned around and walked back to my room again. I glanced at Nicko who was at his desk, I put things on my desk first, and I walked into Nicko's room without knocking.

I went in and walked in annoyedly close to Nicko's desk, then I stood straight in front of him who was still busy with Map in his hands.

I stood before him without a word.

He looked at me confused.

“Why?” Nicko asked with a frown.

“Why did you fire your HR?” Ask me with a kettle.

“According to you easy to find a replacement HR head?” Ask me with annoyance.

Nicko put the map, and kept both his hands on the table to watch me scold him.

I don't see him anymore as Mr. Ferdy. But I was staring at him as Nicko.

“She should not be as nice as her removing employees just because she does not like them”

“But I want to stay out of this office!” my words made Nicko fall asleep digesting my words and he closed the file back and looked at me seriously.

“So you want to get out of here on your own accord? Or are you uncomfortable with your HR attitude?” Ask her.

“Both of his” answer me honestly.

“Alright I will still fire Vionna” his word again makes me more upset.

“But Nick.”

“I still have a lot more important work” said Nicko without caring about me who already seemed emotional.

I squinted my eyes and shook my head at his behavior that was still like this.

“Still stubborn” I said to him then left in annoyance from Nicko's room.

I knew Nicko was smiling looking at me who was upset like this. Because he knew that I wouldn't have the heart to see someone else bear the consequences to my selfishness. I finally got stuck back in this company with Nicko. I just have to hang on and not make any mistakes, work my best without any interference personal issues. I-i can.

When it was noon I walked to the office pantry to brew a cup of caramel milk to accompany me to work. And I passed some workers who were staring at me so strangely. I tried to ignore him and walked back to the pantry. A woman approached me in a hurry. Davina, Zayden's secretary who is now my coworker.

“Faw” greet him with a suspicious face.

“What?” I asked him with a kettle and continued brewing the caramel milk I had packed myself from home in a small jar.

“Gosip lo already circulated widely about the dismissal of lo the same mother Vionna” said Davina began to gossip.

I already knew what Davina was going to talk about before, since the incident this morning was no longer a secret for this company, the rumors would definitely spread widely quickly, let alone about the matter earlier this morning.

“But he said suddenly he please make lo ga so get out right?”

I then turned my eyeballs so lazy to talk about it.

“Kok can the mother Vionna rich so?” Davina asked made me sigh to answer her.

“Gue fight him in his room. He was about to fire me just because I forbid his fiancee Mr. Ferdy to enter his room. It was he who asked Mr. Ferdy himself not to be disturbed. Why am I trying to do something wrong? Rese really tuh orang” said I remember how annoying Vionna's mother this morning.

“Hah? How dare you fight him?” Ask her surprised.

“Yes why? I really dong. I work according to orders from Mr. Ferdy. How am I even fired? yes I tipped him back and I said that he was incompetent” said I sneered by continuing to stir my caramel milk.

“Ish crazy lo. Just this time I saw there are employees who dare very rich lo. Salute me equally lo Faw” his words praise me.

I shut up and taste my caramel milk first.

“But how did you finally get fired? What's the reason?” Ask Davina who was so reluctant for me to explain as much detail as possible.

I can't tell him the truth. Because I'm afraid this will be a big gossip in my office.

“Yes she was scared times. If I'm ugly in him on social media and leaking into his incompetence dismissing people as nice as his” answered me by looking for reasons that sssikit reasonable.

Davinna seemed dissatisfied with my answer, she still seemed to think and like she still wanted to keep talking about this, but I was not interested in telling Davina everything at all.

“Udah yes I went to the room first. Mr. Ferdy was afraid to go back home, I said as I left before he asked more questions about the incident this morning.

Then I left Davina in the pantry by myself and brought my cup into my room.

When I came into my room Nicko went out of his room. We stared at each other for a while and he smelled a nice scent on the cup I was carrying.

“What is it?” He asked me by looking at my cup.

“Minuman” answered me by not mentioning what drink it is.

I walked behind my desk and followed Nicko to me. He snatched the cup from me carefully and looked at the contents.

I know what he's thinking. He could already guess the fragrant aroma of the caramel milk that was inside my cup.

“Here” pinta I try to recapture my caramel milk carefully for fear of being spilled.

“Awhile I want to try” forcibly her and avoid the cup in her hold.

“Ngga. Later hit by your clothes” said me but he still avoid her and drink my caramel milk with his disrespect. I was upset to see her for daring to taste my caramel milk.

“Nicko!!” Call me by reflex to make him stop drinking and stare at me.

I also realized that I called him by the name Nicko. Which seemed to have been unheard of in her ears for a long time. I was silent for a moment with a face that started to panic. Nicko kept staring at me not believing what he was hearing. I nervously returned with my caramel milk jar and came out of my room to escape from it.

How stupid of me. Why can I spontaneously call it Nicko anyway.
