Love for Losing Memory

Andika Pergok

These few days, Arisa felt an unusual change in Andika's attitude. Lately, Arisa feels that her husband is cold towards her, but usually Andika is always friendly towards him. However, Arisa does not want to bother thinking about it, because now she is focusing on her new activities, especially with her status as a new employee who still has a lot to learn.

Andika looks more silent when she is with Arisa in the apartment. As happened this morning when they ate together, they enjoyed their meal in silence, no chatter at all. Then, Andika chose to leave for the office first without waiting for Arisa to walk out together.

Although feeling a little strange, Arisa then chose to busy herself with her activities today. There was a lot of work to be done when he got to the office. While being busy with the report that he had to finish, suddenly Mother Nelly the leader in Arisa's division called out to him.

"Sorry, did you call me?' ask Arisa.

"Yes, I just got a call from the Director. He's sending you to his office right now!"

Arisa is confused. What business did Alex call him? did he make a mistake? Feels not.

When Arisa reached the floor of the director's room, she saw the director's secretary's desk, empty. Didn't Evalia go to work today? Arisa wondered while knocking on the door of the Director's room.

"Lake in!" sounds good from within.

"Sorry, did you call me?" arisa asked after walking up to Alex's desk.

"Yes, I need your help today to replace my secretary duties. Miss Evalia is not in today, so you must replace her to accompany me to meet an important client today!" said Alex.

"Huh? me sir?"

"Yes, you! Wh why? you're not ready?"

"But...."

"No need to argue, we are leaving soon!" said Alex.

Why should I be me anyway? There are not many other staff who are more appropriate to replace Evalia, I am a new employee, do not know anything. Grumbling Arisa in the heart, but he did not dare to argue, even though Alex is his old friend but now Alex is also his superior.

"All right!"

Not long after, Alex and Arisa also immediately rolled into a restaurant where the client's appointment was done. They deliberately came early, so as not to be waited for by the client.

Long enough they wait, even almost half an hour, but the person who awaited never came. Currently they are sitting in one of the pendopo resto in the corner to be more awake privacy, because the private resto room has been booked first by others, because the resto has been booked first by others, so inevitably Alex chose to reserve the area, because his client wanted to keep meeting at the restaurant.

Dritt.....

Alex's phone rang. He immediately picked it up.

"Yes, okay. No problem...I can understand..we can arrange this meeting again at a later time!" alex ended the call after talking to the person who called him.

"Mr Haryono didn't come?" ask Arisa. Alex nodded.

"So, that means we can get back to the office right now, right?"

"Wait a minute!"

"Why?" ask Arisa

"You forgot, we ordered the food. Instead of redundant, we'll have lunch first, just get back to the office!" said Alex. Although the client meeting was canceled today, Alex was not disappointed, because that way he could spend time with Arisa today.

Not yet Arisa answered, the food has begun to be served by the servants, making Arisa choose to follow Alex's advice. They also enjoy their lunch while chatting about the times when they used to be in High School.

But without them realizing it, their familiarity was caught by the sight of a man's eyes at the moment. What he saw really made him jealous. Whose heart will not burn with jealous fire when he sees his wife eating lunch and looks friendly with other men. Andika who happens to also reserve the private room of this restaurant to hold a meeting with her client, accidentally saw Arisa was eating alone with a man.

However, Andika chose not to approach them because she was currently having an appointment with an important client. He immediately passed from the place and entered the private room of the restaurant.

This afternoon, when Arisa was about to go home from work, she intended to order a taxi online, because indeed some days Andika had never come to pick her up. Maybe indeed Andika was busy or overtime, so Arisa did not have too much trouble.

Arisa is standing in front to wait for her taxi to arrive, suddenly a luxury car stops in front of her. The window of the car opened, Alex greeted from the inside.

"Come, come home with me!" sahut Ales from within.

"No need, sir! In a moment too.." Arisa hasn't finished talking. Alex got out of the car and walked to the side to open the car door in front of Arisa.

"Come, comein!" alex said in a pushy tone.

Finally, Arisa was forced to follow the orders of her superiors and get into the car, although she felt uncomfortable because she was afraid it would be the talk of the employees in the company.

"Where do you live?" Arisa also told me the address of the apartment.

"Okay, I know that place" Alex said. Then they were silent for a moment because they did not know what to talk about anymore.

"You don't have to bother with me when we're outside the company!" alex opened the conversation again.

"But, after all, you are my boss and I don't want to be the talk of the company."

"You don't have to worry about it!"

"In order not to be a talking point, how about we formalize our relationship, you want to be my lover!" alex said opening Arisa choked instantly because she happened to be drinking from a drinking bottle she was carrying.

Huk..uhukk.

"Are you okay?" ask Alex

"I'm fine. I was just shocked to hear what you said."

"So, what's your answer? you want to, right?"

"Sorry, I can't!"

"I don't like rejection!"

"Sorry, I really can't, because I ...."

"Why can't you, is it because you already have a lover?"

"Yes, rather, I already have a husband" replied Arisa

"What???"

"I don't believe that." Alex said.

At once they fell silent and did not continue their conversation until Alex's car stopped in front of Arisa's apartment. Arisa immediately got out of the car after thanking Alex.

Andika who happened to also just arrived at the apartment saw clearly that his wife got off someone's car. Without seeing clearly who was in the car, he had already guessed, this must be the same person as the one who had lunch with his wife earlier this afternoon. Andika's emotions overflowed to hit the dashboard of the car very hard with her fist. However, then she tries to calm herself down before catching up with Arisa inside the apartment.

Update again... Sorry yes, if there are many typos or there are words that do not fit. These days, the author seems to run out of ideas for stringing words. Don't forget to leave a trail, friends.
