"Verda."
Verda turned her head as Teti approached her in the office pantry. Teti stepped carefully, for some reason Verda felt Teti's gaze was not as usual.
"What's up, Tet?" verda asked while sipping the tea she had brewed.
"Verda, did you come to the next town yesterday?" ask Teti.
Verda was stunned to hear Teti's question. Suddenly Teti asked like that.
"Why are you asking like that?" ask Verda.
"Finally, I'm like looking at you, I want to but I'm afraid of wrong people" Teti replied with a smile.
Verda suddenly stiffened, but he tried to cover it up.
"Oh so, fortunately you did not say yes, later thought you were a hugger, hehe," Verda chuckled.
Teti did not respond to Verda's guyonant, he simply flicked his shoulder.
"I'm back at my desk, yes, there's still a lot of work" Verda said goodbye.
"Yes" said Teti still did not release her gaze from Verda.
Verda was worried, her instinct was to say that Teti might know something. He memorized the movements of Teti when he knew something that no one else knew. Because Verda is like that too.
...*****...
Geck... Geck...
Teti knocked on Vedra's office door.
"Ved," said Teti as she entered the man's study.
"This is the report you requested" Teti handed over the documents she had printed to Vedra's desk.
"Thank you" said Vedra, immediately examining the report.
"Oh yeah, Ved, by the way, yesterday you were in the next town?" ask Teti.
Vedra gasped at Teti's question, but as much as possible she covered it with a flat expression.
"Which city, Teti?" ask Vedra without being distracted from the documents she examined.
"City S," Teti replied quickly.
Vedra directed her gaze towards Teti.
"No, I'm not out of town" Vedra replied.
"Oh so," said Teti. "I'm sorry, I asked like that because I seemed to see you, wanted to but was afraid of wrong people! It's a good thing I didn't say hello to that person huh, haha," Teti laughed.
Teti's laughter sounded suspicious in Vedra's ears.
"Teti, you can go back to your desk" Vedra said.
"Oh, okay, my report is in order?" ask Teti.
"Yes," said Vedra briefly.
Suddenly Vedra was worried about Teti's question.
Why did Teti ask that? Vedra wondered for herself.
...*****...
As soon as lunchtime arrived, Verda immediately headed to the pantry to eat her lunch. Today's lunch menu is rice. I don't know why Verda preferred the rice field that Vedra bought at that time.
"Verda, I bought sushi," Ican approached Verda with a plastic bag he was showing off.
"Yes, you've eaten first" Ican sounded disappointed.
"Where did you buy it, Can?" ask Verda.
"This, my college friend sells Japanese food so," said Ican while removing all the food he bought in front of Verda.
"Well, Ican, Verda's the only one to notice!" ceplos Nita once entered the pantry.
"Yee, yes, I've noticed that you have a husband! I'll be thought of as a player!" Ican responded to Nita's accusations.
"Yes, be noticed as dong's friend, Can!" teti Sahut.
"Well, you'll be baper, I'll be hit by your husband" Ican said.
"Haha," Nita and Teti laughed out loud.
Verda just grinned while chewing on a piece of sushi that he plucked.
"Haha, but yes, now it seems that it is the time for single people to target people's partners, is that right, Verda?" Teti plucks a piece of sushi while commenting on a mysterious smile towards Verda.
Verda was still chewing her sushi, Teti's gaze was intimidating to Verda.
"Teti, what do you mean?" ask Ican after swallowing the sushi he plucked.
"Yes, why are single people now happier with people who already have a legal partner?" teti said, her eyes still fixed on Verda.
Verda felt Teti's gaze really made it hard to swallow her sushi. Verda became increasingly convinced that Teti must have known something.
"Haha, Tet, he said he had far more challenging people, so single people like the same who have a partner, let alone a legitimate one!" Nita chuckled at Teti.
"Geez! Sorry, I'm single, but I like to be single too! Ogah with a double player, just a backup!" cerocos.
"Haha, what are you guys talking about? I really don't understand the direction of your conversation," Verda laughed in response to the chatter of her comrades.
"Entah, Teti said that, must have watched the series of Castor Layangan right? A busy affair-themed series! It is your dream not me!" hatch the Ican while plucking back the remaining pieces of sushi.
"Well, it's almost one o'clock, have to go back to the table, yes first, my work is still a lot," Verda said goodbye.
Verda did not even finish her rice field and directly left the pantry.
For the rest of the day, Verda was really unsettled by the gaze that Teti had thrown at her. Even when she saw Verda entering the Vedra room, Teti still looked at her.
...*****...
"Tet, what the hell are you doing? From then I saw your eyes until they wanted to escape because they glared continuously," said Nita.
"'Nit, come with me" said Teti before moving from her seat.
Teti immediately headed to the toilet followed by Nita. The two entered the toilet and then looked at each other in front of the large mirror before them.
"Nita, as I recall at the time you said yes, that Ved has the same scent as Verda?" ask Teti.
Nita, who sometimes remembers but often forgets, thinks for a few minutes before finally patting both hands. Understandably the number of thoughts makes Nita's brain function weakened.
"Well, I forgot to tell you the same story! When was the day I saw Verda and Ved go to the tattoo together!" said Nita.
"Nit, I saw them together yesterday in the city next door" said Teti.
"E... uh, seriously?" nita's mouth and eyes widened drastically.
"Yes, I saw them at a fancy jewelry store in the shopping mall next door! They look very familiar, even more familiar than I thought they were all along" Teti said.
"And, do you know, they dodged you! I clearly saw them together! My eyes are still healthy, well let's say there's minus one and a half, but I see them clearly from the front of the store!" continue Teti.
"They didn't see me because they looked so good talking while choosing jewelry!" Teti explained.
"Ooh, so this is what you're talking about when we had lunch together?" Nita tries to draw conclusions from Teti's explanation.
Teti and Nita sat at each other.
"Oh, I'm so, as long as it's not my cheating husband, I don't really matter, but the thing is, it's our friend" Nita said.
"Well, that's it, Nit, looks like we should talk this over to Verda! You must know, if there are people who commit adultery in one place, then the ball can affect us all!" teti.
"Oh, it's Amit-amit, Tet! Don't get like that!" said Nita.
"Do I have to talk to Verda?" teti said.
"Well, try to talk about it! Well, all advice as a good friend!" nita's Proposal.
...*****...
The clock was already showing at five in the afternoon, one by one employees started leaving their desks.
"First yes" Nita said goodbye.
"Me too first, there's this show," Ican said goodbye.
"Until tomorrow!" sahut Verda from his cubicle.
Verda still had to work on some reports, he saw Vedra who had also left his study. The man said goodbye to her for having to go.
Teti approached Verda's desk, pulled up an empty chair and immediately sat down beside Verda.
"Verda," Teti said as she looked straight at Verda.
"What's up, Teti? Tumben you haven't come home yet" Verda said.
"Hmm, yes, because there's something I want to talk to you about" Teti said.
"What the hell is it, Tet? You're serious, serem loh, hehe," Verda chuckled.
"Verda, you'd better end your relationship with Vedra" Teti said.
Verda was flabbergasted, he was completely shocked to hear Teti's words.
"Teti, what do you mean?" ask Verda.
Teti grinned mysteriously.
"Verda, you and Vedra are having an affair right?!"
Verda was surprised to hear Teti's words.
"Geez, Teti, how could you think me and Vedra were having an affair?" Verda frowned.
Teti looked straight at Verda.
"Verda, I don't really mean to interfere with your personal affairs. Want you to get in touch with who it's none of my business. But, since we've known each other for a long time, and I care about you, so I think I should say this to you" Teti said.
"Ved is married, he's a man who already has a wife. If your relationship is known to Ved's wife, it is very dangerous, Verda! You could have been run over by Vedra's legal wife!"
"I'm this loh, ever had the experience of running over my aunt's husband actor, hihh, it's depleted that the actor's intimate organs were given a kilo of chili! To cry for mercy is a woman! It's awful, isn't it?!"
Verda was grieved to hear Teti's story. Eating fried foods using chili peppers just taste spicy biting tongue, let alone intimate organs?! Huh!!
"Therefore, Verda, rather than you being run over by Ved's wife, went viral because of entering the lambe-lambean and finally humiliating us all, must be terrible, right?!"
