Love is Noiseless

Chapter 23

Layla was grilling meat in the oven. While waiting for the meat to ripen, he was busy preparing seasonings for his grilled meat dish. Also prepare vegetables for addition. Since her time at the parlor, Layla has been very good at cooking. He often helps parlors to cook food for children whose numbers are not small. At least since adolescence, Layla has been familiar with the kitchen, therefore never doubt her ability in cooking. Although only maximizing the contents of the Dinan refrigerator to prepare dinner, the results are certainly delicious.

Dinan came to the kitchen and saw the watch in his hand, it was past seven and dinner was not ready. He made it clear about it this morning.

“It's past seven hours,” exclaimed Dinan while pouring water into a glass.

Layla who was busy cooking stopped for a moment, she looked at Dinan who looked flat-faced.

“Sorry late, Sir. I'm tired,” replied Layla. He seemed resigned if Dinan would scold him right then and there.

“I have explained to you about the orphanage land that is very important for the company.”

“I've tried, Sir. But your father does not want to return it,” said Layla who was really upset to Dinan. I don't know why it should be discussed again.

“I scold you because you are my employee, this is a working professional relationship,” Dinan warned Layla. “That meat is ripe, make sure dinner is ready after I finish shower.” Dinan then passed away leaving Layla alone there.

The girl immediately opened the oven and took out the cooked meat. For a moment later he realized there was something strange about Dinan's attitude towards him. “Why didn't he scold me like this morning? why isn't he angry because I snapped at him in the contract?” lirih Layla asked again.

While Dinan could only scratch his head while heading to the bathroom near the room. Now he looks worried about something.

Dinan devoured the dinner Layla prepared. The girl bribed her nasi while looking at Dinan doubtfully. He noticed how greedy Dinan was to enjoy his homemade food. There was a feeling of discomfort in Layla's heart after the incident in the rented earlier. It was inappropriate for him to scold his own boss, let alone actually the fault was on him. It was also inappropriate for her to curse at the man who was clearly her own husband.

“I'm sorry, Sir?” layla said after deciding to put out that sentence.

“You have I forgive,” replied Dinan without burden.

Layla's forehead immediately wrinkled. Dinan forgive?

“Father not angry with me?” tanya Layla looked doubtful.

“So I told you, I scold you because you are my employee,” explained Dinan who still continues to devour his dinner.

“Meanour?” ask Layla who still does not understand the situation.

“This you, that time alone do not understand anyway?”

“And you forgive me because I am the wife of Father?” said Layla who remembered his words earlier this afternoon in the rented. Was that Dinan saying the answer to what he said this afternoon? ‘I swear at you as a superior, and I ask you for help because you are my husband.’ Layla remembered her emotional state she said that earlier.

“This makes me lose my appetite,” said Dinan with annoyance. He then went to his office to enter his office.

Layla noticed it all with astonishment. “What the hell is he? lost appetite? crazy fuck!” his weakness when he saw the food on Dinan's plate was not at all.

The girl played her phone to wait for Dinan to come.

“Oh Lord, why am I late waking up again?” Layla stared at the digital clock showing at seven o'clock right with an anxious face.

He hurried to make the bed. Then with lightning fast he had already dashed to the first floor. So afraid of Dinan, Layla never even saw sunlight entering her apartment because the window was always closed by curtains.

At the dinner table, Layla sees Dinan enjoying her morning breakfast. Again her husband cooked an omelette for breakfast. Anxiously, Layla ventured to approach Dinan.

“Sorry, sir, I'm late,” Layla bowed weakly in front of Dinan who was enjoying her breakfast.

“It has only been twenty-four hours since I confirmed the rules in this apartment to you. And all those rules you broke without exception.”

Layla closed her eyes, she realized the fatal mistake. “Sa-I promise this is the last one, Sir,” he said with all regret.

Dinan then stood up and finished his breakfast. “Breakfast soon, don't be late to the office.” The man then left without speaking again.

“Good, Sir.”

Layla was there alone with all her confusion. Dinan's attitude that does not talk much and always corners him even makes Layla frustrated with the situation. He really couldn't stand having to live at home with such a person. In a few moments, Bayu's shadow flashed in Layla's mind. The woman could only breathe out a long breath. Hope that Bayu does not know what happened until he can leave Dinan. Maybe Layla will keep that a secret for the rest of her life from Bayu.

But unfortunately Layla could not linger to think about it all. He was too late to wake up, now the woman immediately finished the omelet left at the dinner table. To get ready for the office.

Layla was living her day in a doldrums. All the problems weighed on his mind. As long as the document has not returned to Dinan, she will always be overshadowed by the fear of looking at her husband's face.

“La, how did you not enter yesterday? Mr. Richard knows you,”, Emma said half-whispering as they worked.

Layla turned to Emma for a moment, her face looking so tired. “I'm busy, Ma, don't think about that problem anymore, tired of knowing.”

“What does that mean the problem is not finished too, La? later Mr. Dinan really fired you lo, La. Especially yesterday I was eavesdropping on Mr. Denis and the guy from the building manager. The document you took was related to the strategic plan of the company this year.”

“Ma, do not need to be discussed again, I am really tired,” Layla said.

Emma shrugged and refocused herself on her work. Free as well he urged Layla, his co-worker did not seem to want to explain anything related to the matter.

But the problem Layla had to face was not only there. Mr. Denis who had just come out of nowhere walked with a huffed face, as if something was shadowing him at that moment.

“Layla, to my room,” said Mr. Denis without stopping to walk and turn to Layla.

Layla was shocked to hear that. Making everyone in the division instantly look into his eyes full of question marks. The girl froze, for a moment she swallowed and stood up. Then followed to Mr. Denis' room without looking at anyone there.
