Gossip

Life feels lighter. Especially since his relationship with Krishna improved. The load will always be lighter when divided. Being heavy when borne alone.

This afternoon, he and his friends were planning to have lunch together. They had booked a place in one of the dining places not too far from their office.

He refused lunch from Krishna. When he's going out of his room. Approaching friends.

"Lunch with yuk. I treat. We haven't had lunch together for a few days."

"Sorry, I can't. Have lunch with my friends. If you want to join, go ahead!"

"Got ah! Ntar I digrepe-***** like tape. Or dipenyet-tender kayak tempe. Can berabe!"

Kontan Ratih laughed at it.

"Digrepe-****** no. Most dyed-up like a colenak."

"Beneject dong!"

"Whim!"

"Or ah! My head is like a kepenyet-tender."

"Totally. Don't you wanna follow?" Repeat the exercise once again.

"Got ah!"

"I'm walking first, right?"

"Don't forget it, this Friday home from work." Kreshna.

"What is this Friday?"

"We're on vacation with Tintan. Departure Friday night. We'll go home Sunday afternoon.

"So vacation?"

"So dong! Want refreshing but lazy if you go alone. Temenin huh?"

"All right!"

"Thanks yes! We're leaving together. I'll be with Tintan nyamperin you."

"A meeting at the airport is okay."

"No need! Together. I'll and Tintan nyamper you."

"Ok then!"

"OK!"

I spent time with my friends eating lunch together. Amanda got a voucher they could use so they paid less.

Moments like these are also entertainment for all of them in the middle of their routine.

Opportunity to exchange stories, joke and gossip.

"Say there's a new kid coming in?"

"Who said?"

"Diah."

"Emang yes?"

"Pak Pras said that."

"Where's the kid?"

"no one yet. But there will be."

"What part?"

"Movie."

"Will our company be developed?"

"It looks so."

"Deed means yes sir Krishna?"

"There's no way he's nailed here if there's no meaning to it."

"Where the hell is he?"

"Why-name. You have a husband, Dira!"

They talk to each other. Crisscrossing.

"It can't be."

"Seriously never saw the guy at all?"

"Ear up. I just mean how's the guy?"

"Just ask me to train."

"Eh! Why is it me?" 

"Aren't you the one who likes working with her?"

"Diah also likes to work together Mr. Pras, not interrogated."

"Pak Pras we already know what his character is like. But if it's Mr Kreshna? You're the only one who knows what he's like?"

"That's because he's from headquarters. Not here. So on don't know. He is the same as Pras. They are cemented. It must be eleven twelve."

"Si Pras is a lot of her boyfriend. That's Mr Kreshna?"

All at once looked at Ratih who was engrossed in enjoying his food.

Ratih's face became clumsy, "Why am I?"

"You must not be unfaithful, my friend. We always share the gossip we have."

"I don't know anything about Mr. Kreshna other than work." Elak Ratih's.

"Made simple. Does he have a wife?"

Ratih.

"Love?"

Ratih.

"Who's her boyfriend?"

Ratih shook his head and shrugged his shoulders.

"Yeah, I don't know Pras' new girlfriend either but every time he gets a call from his girlfriend. Amboys!"

Kontan they chuckle.

Talking about their bosses is one of their entertainment as employees.

"Where's Diah? If Pras receives a call from his girlfriend?"

Diah became the center of attention.

"Hello darling. By dong! Have you eaten yourself yet? I ate the wind!"

Kontan they're all laughing.

"Wind what does eating a snack of wind doang mean? What is a tire pump? Wind doang?"

"That was the opening joke of Pras."

"What the hell is that talking about?"

"many. With my ears!"

"No, no, right?"

"Not if it's repeated. I see what's important and interesting."

"We have often heard stories about Mr. Pras from Diah. Come on, Ratih! What kind of story does Mr. Krishna have?"

"His person is seriously working and secretive about his romantic relationship. There's never been a phone call associated with her boyfriend in the workspace." Sahut Ratih's.

"Professional and closed. Hmm.So curious!" 

"Dira! You have a husband. Eling!"

"What is cooking?"

"It's not good!"

"By the way, do you know if Mr. Kreshna has a girlfriend if you've never heard the phone conversation?"

"I know his girlfriend. My friend."

"Ohhhhh.." they said almost simultaneously.

"Where's her boyfriend?"

"Where's what?."

" The person, his nature, apparently?"

"Beautiful, kind and fun."

"Hmm, yeah…."

"But it seems he also wants to be known as Pras sir. I know his sister but I don't know her brother."

"How do you mean? She has two lovers?"

"You mean he's a playboy?"

"You mean he has a girlfriend but who will be his wife is different again?"

"You mean…."

"I don't know!" Sahut Ratih half shouted. Suddenly his chest became tight. I can't be jealous. Krishna and I have no relationship anymore. Hey, plis! Don't crazy! Take a deep breath. Unleash it….

"That's just getting angry!"

"Who is angry? You're urging me! I don't know anything about Mr. Kreshna."

"You know his girlfriend. And you know he's being introduced by Mr. Pras. You also know his sister-in-law."

Holy hooch! Kreshna test the water? He brought Tintan his point? Calm down.Something that can't hurt you, will never hurt you….

I can't possibly hate Tintan. He's a good boy. It's up to him to test the water. I don't give a shit. It's all over! 

"I think Mr. Kreshna is more dangerous than Mr. Pras."

"agree! Pras may be a playboy but I think if it's time he chose?"

"Maybe the same. One wife and one mistress but secretly."

Their laughter broke.

"If Krishna?"

"One girlfriend and one wife."

"Where's the difference?"

"Come on!"

The kontan they back chuckle.

Suddenly Ratin lost his appetite. Omg! Why didn't he think he got there? He's suggesting he's back. Don't like to interfere in people's affairs. Kreshna is free to be in a relationship with anyone. Even if he married four women at once. He has four friends and four girlfriends. It's none of his business. It has nothing to do with it at all….

His heart calmed down. His healthy mind slowly returned and his appetite also returned.

"I think you should start spying on him!"

"For what?" Reject Trained.

"so we know the truth."

"For what the hell? Less work! Everyone has privacy. Except for my husband, I think we should take care of everyone's privacy."

"I think all bosses are the same. Treasure, throne and women!"

"Yeah!"

"Do you think Pras and Krishna are the same?"

"It seems so…."

All agreed.
