"Where's my package?!"
Verda glared in annoyance at a man who seemed to look relaxed while sitting behind his desk.
The man fixed his glasses.
"What package do you mean, Verda?" asked the man in his low voice and sounded indifferent.
"I got the information from the receptionist, my package was received by you, Ved!" replied the woman with a loud tone.
"The package was received three days ago, while three days ago I was on leave! And the info is, you received the package before you took permission not to go to work!" Verda explained.
Verda glanced at the pile of documents that filled the man's desk.
"The sender of the package incorrectly listed the recipient's name, it should be Verda, but it says Vedra!" Verda explained.
Vedra tries to remember while correcting the location of her glasses.
"Hmm, what do you mean by a collection of photos of men wearing lipstick?" ask Vedra.
"Wearing lipstick?" Verda gawked at Vedra's reply.
"Ah, yes, I remember, I threw away the collection of photos," Vedra replied briefly.
"What?! You dumped?!" verda shouted so hysterically.
Vedra gasped in shock, as did everyone who was currently working in the room. Verda slumped straight to the floor because her knees were instantly limp.
"What is this?! What's up?!" ask Nita.
"Why, Verda?" ask Ican.
Nita and Ican immediately approached Verda who looked like a human without a life.
"Ved, what have you done to Verda? Why did he stumble around like this?" ask Nita.
"Okay," said Vedra, looking indifferent.
The man immediately returned to work behind his computer.
"Veds! Your responsibility! Responsibility!" verda shouted in anger.
Vedra turned towards the woman who currently looked so angry, as if there were two horns suddenly appearing on the woman's head.
"You've thrown away my idol's rare photo card collection! Do you know how much all those photo cards you threw away are worth?!" ask Verda.
"Verda, never mind, you don't exaggerate the matter too much, it's just a bunch of laminated paper anyway! You can print it again!" sahut Vedra looked indifferent.
"Oh no! No!!!" verda is back hysterical.
"Vedra, Verda, what's wrong? Why are you making such a fuss?" reprimand Pak Handoko.
"Sorry, Mr. Handoko, we'll get back to work" Vedra said.
Vedra turns towards Verda.
"Well, we'll talk about it again" Vedra said.
Vedra is back on her computer, while Verda steps back to her desk with a broken feeling that can't be hidden.
...*****...
Kling..
The bell above the entrance of the Coffee Shop Manja rang, signaling someone entering the coffee shop that is quite crowded visited at night.
A woman entered the coffee shop. The appearance of women with long black hair that decomposes to the waist looks more elegant in a black mini dress combined with a cream-colored blazer and pump-type shoes that are also cream with high heels ten centimeters.
His right hand carries a black tote bag, while his left hand holds a phone connected to a wireless earphone.
"Green tea hot latte, with liquid sugar apart," guessed the barista named Desta, he already memorized the order of the woman.
Desta looked at the woman's face, and there was no friendly smile on her face. There was only an annoyed expression that was engraved clearly.
The woman immediately sat down at one of the empty tables. The table is located not far from a large window.
Kling..
The coffee shop door sounded. Now a tall man in a long-sleeved shirt in gray, combined with black trousers and shiny black pantofel shoes. The bespectacled man immediately became the center of attention due to his tall and towering body.
"Es Americano" he told the barista.
"On behalf?" ask Desta.
"Vedra," he said before leaving the barista's table.
The man immediately sat down to join Verda who was already waiting for him with a glass of green tea hot latte.
The two looked at each other for a long time without speaking until finally the waiter delivered coffee ordered by Vedra.
After being silent for a long time, Vedra was surprised that Verda suddenly started crying.
"Responsible to you, Ved! Responsibility because you've lost my package! Huhu," Verda started crying.
Vedra stirred his coffee ice and sipped it slowly. The man glared at the woman who was famous as a drama queen in the company where he worked.
Women who seem to be so obsessed with handsome men who are good at dancing and singing.
"Verda, you just lost the package! You can order it again, right?" ask Vedra.
"Research again?! Do you think it's easy?! See how much I pay for all the photos you throw away!" sahut Verda with a brush.
Verda shows the nominal that makes the Ved glasses sag.
"That's a rare photo card collection! I got it from a fan who collected it almost a decade ago! And you easily threw away my treasure!"
Vedra gulped his saliva, he really did not expect that he had thrown away the photos at a fantastic price that was nominal to reach seventy million.
"'I've even spent my savings on that package! I really have to hold you accountable!" furious Verda.
"Verda, that's right, this is blackmail! Time yes, I have to compensate up to seventy million just for a piece of paper like that?" ask Vedra with a clear skeptical tone.
"Huh! People if they don't know the value of something, will say it like that! You are so presumptuous! Sassy!" verda toilet.
Vedra sips back her iced coffee.
"I don't want to know! You're responsible, Ved!" Verda crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Verda's attitude clearly intimidated the man.
"All right, I'll change everything! But I'm sorry I can't replace it now! Because to be honest, I don't have the money to pay for it right now" Vedra said.
"But I promise I'll pay!" Ved.
Verda gave a huff of huff while throwing a careless glance at the man.
"You even have a car you can pawn!" furious Verda.
"Sorry, my car is still on credit" said Vedra.
"You have two healthy kidneys, right?" verda asked still with her annoyed expression.
"I'm sorry, I still need two kidneys to live well" Vedra said.
Verda looked skeptically at the man.
"Lantas, how are you going to compensate? Do I need to report you to the police?" ask Verda.
"'I don't think it needs to be done! We use the family way only," said Vedra.
"'Kilitary ways? What do you mean you want to run away? You want to run away from your responsibilities, don't you?" tanya Verda insisted.
"Look, at this time I can't pay compensation, because I don't have enough funds," Vedra replied.
"Why could that be?" ask Verda.
"Yes, basically at this time I have no more funds to compensate" replied Vedra.
"Oh, Ved! Don't go around like this! I want you to take responsibility for what you've done!" luh Verda's.
"W-what?! Accusations?!" Vedra flabbergasted.
Everyone looked straight at them. Vedra was really embarrassed because he sounded like someone who had committed sexual abuse against this woman.
"Yes, you easily threw away my treasure and refused to take responsibility!" verda toilet.
"Verda! I'll take responsibility! I'll take responsibility but not now! I hope you can understand" said Ved.
"What can you guarantee that I can trust you?" ask Verda.
Vedra felt intimidated by Verda's gaze. Vedra pulls out her purse, takes her car STNK and hands it to Verda.
"Take this as a guarantee, that I'm not going anywhere" Vedra replied.
"God! Are you crazy?! You'll be called by the police if there's a raid!" furious Verda.
Vedra does not know if he should tell this woman the real reason why she is in financial trouble. Should he be honest?
"Verda, look, I'm actually getting married, and all my money is currently drained to pay for my marriage" Vedra finally explained.
Verda's eyes rounded hearing the man's confession.
"Wait, Ved! Aren't you currently under a contract that prohibits employees from getting married before three years?" ask Verda.
"Yes, I have decided to resign in the near future" Vedra replied.
"Oh waahh! Very good of you, Ved! You promised to pay the damages, but you resigned instead! Then what is the guarantee that you won't run away from your responsibilities?" ask Verda.
Vedra fell silent and sipped her iced coffee, she felt this gaze of the woman before her was so intimidating.
"Let's say, you send me a voice note! Follow my words!" verda said with a commanding tone.
Vedra pulled out her phone, while Verda thought about what words she should say. The man must not escape from his responsibilities because it has already eliminated the so valuable Verda package.
"All right, record it!" verda's orders.
"I'm Vedranata will promise to be responsible to Verdanica! I will not run away from my responsibilities as a real man!"
Vedra presses the send button on the green logo conversation app while looking annoyed at the woman who is currently threatening him.
All of a sudden the indicator went off because Vedra's phone ran out of power.
"Well, Verda, I also have to ask you one thing, please keep it a secret about me getting married!" said Vedra.
"Ohoho, just calm down!" verda said grinning.
...*****...
Vedra had just woken up from her sleep, she turned on her phone again after a night of charging.
Once the smart device is on, it almost seems to explode because so many notifications are coming in.
The man's eyeballs seemed to be coming out when he saw thousands of messages sent by his lover.
"Ha-hello!" Vedra stuttered as she answered the phone call from her lover.
"Vedras! How strong are you! It's better not to get married!"
"Tu-wait, Silvia, what do you mean, honey?" ask Vedra so panicked.
Vedra was stunned when she saw the message that went into her phone.
His heart almost escaped when he saw the recording of the voice note that he was supposed to send to Verda was actually sent to Silvia.
