My Hate, the Water of His Eyes (The End of A Taste)

Enjoy Your Rest

Bima took a day off. As promised, he returned to work as usual. It's just that since arriving at the office there's something strange with Bima. Since morning I don't know how many times Bima went back and forth to Leo's room.

As a secretary who organizes every Leo activity, Bima certainly has more access to the Leo room and meets Leo directly if there is something important. However, from morning to noon and almost late afternoon with trivial reasons and needs Bima continuously entered the main director's room.

Leo's working focus becomes disrupted whenever the door is opened and closed.

Nah!

Leo throws a ballpoint pen at Bima which opens the door of his room for the umpteenth time.

"If there is something important, just say it. My eyes, neck and head hurt every time you walked out of this room."

Realizing his mistake Bima picked up the ballpoint pen that had been thrown towards him but did not reach it.

"Moreover now?" ask Leo annoyed. He took the ballpoint pen from Bima's hand.

"No, sir. Sorry for bothering you."

"Don't tell me nothing, you've been over the iron all day. Was there a problem when you took leave yesterday?"

"Nothing, sir. You go back to work."

"What's? Why are you even telling me to work? I'm the head of this company. Without you telling me to know my time at work," Leo growled, making him even more upset with Bima

"Documents you can bring along at once for me to sign you take them one by one. Food and drinks for your lunch are delivered one by one as well. Even you go back and forth asking and saying this-that. There's a phone in your room but you have to come to me continuously for trivia. Are you lacking a job?" gertak Leo's.

"Yes, sir. I'm sorry, I'll be more professional."

"I never said you weren't professional all this time but for today you're really weird and annoying."

"Sorry, sir. I was wrong, I'd be wiser."

"Bahhh... Never mind, you better get out."

"Good, sir. Excuse me."

"Exasperate," Leo grumbled. He remembered something and wanted to make sure. "Wait," call Leo.

"Yes, sir?"

"Have you booked a table at the restaurant I asked for?"

Bima who already held the door handle turned and approached Leo who sat in his great chair as the main director, the leader of Suntama Group engaged in textiles, advertising, contractor and cosmetics consultants.

"What else are you approaching?" sarcasm of Leo stared intently at Bima.

"Sorry, sir. If I could ask, are you sure you would?" ask Bima carefully.

"What do you mean?" ask Bima.

"I mean," Bima swallowed her saliva got a look of horror from Leo. "Are you sure you're going to see Miss Naomi?"

"Well! I thought you were gonna ask me what. Yeah, I'll see him tonight."

"Are you sure, sir? Do you like it? Do you not remember Syera anymore and forget her?"

Leo lowered his head and asked Bima to come closer to him as if he wanted to whisper something.

"Here, come here," led Bima with her index and middle fingers.

Nah!

Finally Bima's head felt a ballpoint pen land on his head.

"For a year you've never mentioned his name in front of me, but why are you bringing it up today?"

"Sorry, taun. I just want to make sure," replied Bima. "Have you forgotten about it? Does he not love her anymore? Don't you want to see her again?"

Leo again used his two fingers to code him to approach.

Nah!

Once again the ballpoint pen in Leo's head to Bima's.

"I'm not a guy who falls in love easily and forgets the people I love easily."

"Then why would you want to meet Miss Naomi?"

"What do you think I should do and how? What can I do, nothing. Just pray that the woman named Naomi doesn't like me."

"If she seems to like you and wants to marry you how?"

"Then that's a disaster for me!"

"Master?"

"Calm down, if it has to be like that then I just need to jump into the deepest river or abyss. It'll all be done for me then and there."

"Master?"

"Here you go, get back to work and make sure the table is in the mail. Don't make me stress."

In his room Bima could not calm down, he paced back and forth, banging his forehead using his fist and glancing at his watch. In half an hour, Leo will leave the office, and he will meet Naomi.

"But I still need this job, but I can't stand to see it that way every day either. Speaking as if there were Syera who was hearing it, assuming that Syera had a meal with him and the spirit of every new number contacted him because he thought maybe it was Shera."

Bima continued to monologue in her room. Right now he is in a dilemma. Bima opened her briefcase, took out a brown envelope from inside, scrutinizing all the documents inside.

"Not just losing her job, Mila's mother could have darkened my eyes and killed me," put the brown envelope back in her briefcase.

..........

From both of his closed eyes flowing tears, Leo could not help his grief.

Sera, I miss you so much. If one day we meet, is your heart still the same? When we meet again, it's not too late? Is it still writing my name on your mama's agenda? Sherah, I miss you.

As much as Leo covered his grief this year in front of Mama Mila and Bima but when only alone Leo wept for his sadness. Crying for her happiness lost when happiness was just felt.

This year Leo secretly searched for the whereabouts of Shera and Fandy but none of the people he assigned knew of their whereabouts. The search for Leo is limited, there is Mama Mila and her parents who oversee the movement of Leo.

Leo looked at the clock on his phone, it was time for him to go home, get ready to meet Naomi. He wiped his tears, his hands moved lazily tidying his desk and putting what he needed to bring back into his briefcase.

There is absolutely no desire for Leo to meet another woman. However, he had no reason to refuse his mother's wishes. There are too many reasons Leo has made this year not to meet the girls he shows. Leo gives up, hoping that the girl named Naomi does not like him.

Not only that, Leo even prayed there was a miracle that made him not need to see Naomi.

Spa!

Leo's eyes glared at Bima who opened the door of his room to make Leo almost had a heart attack.

Wanting to feel he cursed Bima but he was not excited, he was lazy because he was too tired of the contents of his heart and head.

Bima walked towards Leo's desk, watching his master in order.

"Will you go home?"

"Why are you so chatty? This isn't you as usual, Bim."

"You've been overworked all this time, sir. You need to rest," said Bima.

"I know, it only takes thirty minutes to meet Naomi and after that I'll go straight home for a break."

"Enjoy your rest" put a brown envelope on Leo's desk.

Leo looked up, looking at Bima who was standing before him.

"What'sthis? Any files I need to sign again?"

"I'm sorry, sir. This is all I can do for you. I'm risking my job on Mila's mother for you."

"You mean?"

For a moment Leo thought while looking at Bima's serious face. Leo opened the envelope that Bima gave him and took out all the contents.

"Bima, this-"

Leo could not say anything when he saw the contents of the brown envelope. There is a Visa, passport, plane ticket, some photos and an address written behind one of the photos.

Bima sent something to Bima's phone.

"You can call that number when you get there. He will help you with your needs during that time. He was my junior in college."

"Mom, are you sure you're doing this for me?"

"As I said, I'm risking my job on Mila's mother for you."

"You-you"

There was no word that Leo could use for Bima at this time. Leo stood up and hugged Bima, describing how she felt at this time who was very grateful to Bima.

"The next three hours the plane will fly, you should not miss. Outside there is already a taxi that will take you to the apartment to pack up and take you to the airport."

"Bima, you really-"

"Better you leave immediately, sir."

"Thank you, Bim. Thanks very much. I'll make sure you step up. You no longer need to work as my secretary, no need to serve and take care of me anymore. You're the best, Bim."

Bima did not respond to Leo's words. Bima did not enter into the heart of what Leo said when he had broken his promise to Mila's mother.

Leo was in such a hurry that he paid no attention to his path and was contained at the foot of the table.

"Don't let the chocolate envelope stay, sir."

"No way, Bim. I'm leaving now, you should also take a break and enjoy the weekend with the girl you love" Leo said, running away from work.

Just a few seconds Leo came back and stood in the doorway.

"Male?" call Leo.

"You take it easy, sir. I understand, Miss Naomi let it be my business" said Bima.

"Not that, Bim. Mama, please take care of mama as long as I'm not around, please take good care of mama. Tell me I love my mom very much."

Bima smilingly nodded her head at Leo and not forgetting that Leo also replied with a sigh on his face.

"I'm leaving."

I hope what I'm doing is the right thing, sir.

Bima went out and closed Leo's room. She goes to meet Naomi at the promised restaurant. Do not ask how angry Naomi is when the man who came to see her is not Leo but a secretary.

A loud slap must be received by Bima over Naomi's anger. Of course the slap was very painful but how else, it was one of the consequences of the decision that Bima chose when telling Leo the whereabouts of Shera and Fandy at this time.

Bima managed to find the existence of Syera and Fandy through Bima's sister level while in college, who now works at one of the overseas embassy offices. Through his younger brother who has many relationships in several embassies, Bima was finally able to find Syera and Fandy without being known by Mama Mila.

"Wow!"

Bima stroked her sore cheek after being slapped.
