A month went by, Zahla worked well there and many liked her with her friendly and innocent attitude, not only men but female employees were happy with her as well.
Kevin, who is often looking for reasons to see Zahla's sweet face, feels that his feelings for Zahla are not just like her as he likes other women, there is something different about Zahla.
according Kevin.
'' Vid, that girl really stole my heart, '' said Kevin who was in David's study.
'' Which other girl do you mean?'' david asked with his indifference he was forced to respond to Kevin's words because he was getting tired of hearing the babbling of his best friend.
'' The girl you said praised me, '' Kevin's answer made David choke on his drinking water which happened to be drinking bottled mineral water.
'' You why Vid?'' ask Kevin.
'' Come out, I'm busy, ''' put David out of the blue.
Kevin came out with a strange feeling, because from earlier he was raving, David did not protest at all but after saying who had disturbed him lately, David's attitude changed so quickly.
'' He likes that girl?'' murmured David.
Flashback two weeks before his.
David accidentally sees Zahla on the balcony of the office located on the top floor of his favorite place before there is Zahla there, he was very disturbed because of his favorite place at the time he wanted to be alone but there were others who knew the place.
Actually, the balcony should not be visited by anyone because all employees know that the big boss is often there, but Zahla who did not know about the ban was indifferent and came there at will just for lunch that she brought from the orphanage.
Initially David was disturbed because of the presence of Zahla on the balcony but more and more days he felt accustomed, even though Zahla did not know there was David there and without any chat between them, but David already felt very used to the presence of the dark-skinned girl.
Until one day he was confused because of where it was that afternoon, Zahla was not there for his lunch, David who every day noticed how to eat Zahla from a considerable distance also felt lost because there was no Zahla.
And that's where he felt something was wrong with him towards Zahla.
flashback off's.
Kevin's words seemed to have disturbed him, as if the other side in him was angry to hear it, but he did not realize it.
'' Why do I have to think about Kevin's words, whether he wants to like it or not, what matters to me, ''' said David on the other side of him.
But Zahla was not there having lunch as usual but was sitting down hugging her legs and bowing her head deeply on the knees she was bending.
A sobbing was faintly heard by David who believed Zahla was hiding her cries.
'' Why is he?'' murmured David.
What Davis knew was that the girl was very jolly, but today she saw the other side of Zahla, with sobbing tears she vented her emotions with small screams.
'' I miss you, Ma'am.'' That's what I heard on the sidelines of Zahla's cries.
David slowly stepped towards where Zahla was sitting, and stretched out one hand to give a handkerchief to Zahla.
Slowly Zahla lifted her head, with tears in her eyes she looked at the owner of the foot of the level standing before her.
'' Thank you, ''' Lirih Zahla grabbed the handkerchief that David gave her.
David did not answer him, he stepped towards the wall divider that is high only limited to his waist to see the expanse of buildings down there from the balcony.
'' You know, this place is strictly forbidden to go to for office employees. But I don't know what courage you have, so you can be here, '' said David with eyes that looked far ahead.
Zahla who heard David's words until he swallowed his saliva, he just believed the rumor, he just believed the rumor, yes, he often gets a reprimand from office girls or other office boys not to go to the balcony but Zahla always ignores it because he feels that place is not a special place so forbid anyone to go there.
'' M-sorry boss, I don't know, '' said Zahla who was standing but still in his place.
'' Forget it, '' David replied coldly.
Zahla who feels bad intends to leave but before that she will return the handkerchief that David had given her.
'' Thank you, '' said Zahla and the hand that still held the handkerchief and gave it to David, but David did not accept.
'' You told me to touch your tears?'' david asked in a cold tone.
'' Emmm then, I will take it home and wash it after that I will return it to the boss, I'm sorry.'' Said Zahla passing by to get out of there.
David did not stop him, he just stared at Zahla's increasingly distant steps. '' Stupid girl, '' she muttered.
