Dona and I left the desk quite confusing. We decided to go to a simple restaurant because it saves money. I don't like eating in cafes or restaurants. The food menu sometimes doesn't go along with my tongue.
"No papa, yes, we go to the news," said Dona after we sat lined up in the stall.
"No papa, really. I also prefer to eat at this restaurant. I don't want to feel ashamed." We chuckle together.
"Are you married?" ask Dona.
"Udah."
"Whose name is your husband?"
We talked lightly while looking at the plate filled with rice and meat in front.
"Reyhan Mahendra," I answered briefly.
Dona was seen furrowing her brows after hearing my answer.
"We often hear that name, but where, huh?"
The television not far in front of us was on. It's just that we didn't pay much attention. When the show interspersed with advertisements, appeared advertisements of a new car.
Dona's gaze changed when my husband's name was mentioned by the voice actor.
"Employer and successor of the famous company The King Car in collaboration with the famous American car brand named Reyhan Mahendra, introduced the latest car with more sophisticated technology."
The eyes of the woman next to me glared with her mouth gaping.
"That's your husband?" He asked while pointing at the television.
Damn I can't lie to him. I nodded slowly.
"You have a successful husband, why do you still want to work as an employee?"
I took a breath and threw it away after a spoonful of rice was swallowed.
"What difference? The company has its Papa. He's just a real hitch."
"But, you, right, can work in his office."
"No vacancies."
"Do you have any family problems?"
Crazy, I've only known him for a few hours, but he seems to be able to read my mind. This time I did not answer. Afraid that this tongue would suddenly slip and tell us about our household problems.
"It's a natural. I also fought a lot with my husband" Dona added.
It turns out he started it. I don't want to continue this service, especially in front of food. It was uncomfortable to imagine eating your own carcass while there was food in front of us.
My appetite suddenly faded as our chatter passed. What used to be this stomach was so excited, now it suddenly disappeared. Especially after I glanced at some videos that accidentally took the face of the woman I hated so much, Vina. He was next to Rey, not me.
"Hey," kajut Dona.
I turned towards him after the palm hit my arm.
"Hem."
"Don't daydream, yuk back. Then look for the same boss." He glanced at the small black watch on his right arm.
"Hem. Okay." Okay."
After paying, we left and went back to the office. What an unexpected thing. After I tried to avoid it in order to get homesick, my heart just got sore when I saw this reality.
I can't cry here. Not the right time and place. A few pats on this chest. Resisting the pain that is beating themselves up. A few drops of water came out of the eye patch the moment we entered the office.
As some friends pinned smiles, I also returned their smiles. With all my might I endured the pain in my chest.
"Yeah." This heavy breathing came out repeatedly.
Now, I'm in the office. Must be professional at work. I am a strong adult woman. I can't lose to a woman like Vina.
Tlee...
The office phone rang to surprise me. I took the phone and pointed it in my ear.
"Hello."
"Please come to my room."
Tut's... Tut's... Tut's...
The boss's serious voice told me to go to his room. I got up and tidied up my clothes a little.
Dona turned her eyes towards me. He moved his head forward gesturing to ask me.
"Boss," I replied softly.
"Be careful." Her palms covered her cheeks so that no one could see her lips move.
Tuk... Tuk...
"Come in" Rian said.
I opened the door slowly and went in there.
"Can you help, sir?"
"Please do that." He pointed at the pile of files on the table.
His height reaches 20 inches. It surprised me and I could not say anything.
"I-i-tu, sir?" While pointing at the pile of files.
"Yes." Yeah." After that she flipped the black chair and turned back to me.
Just getting upset today. The job that I thought I could forget about my problems at home, actually brought new problems.
Soon I took all the files and took them out. It's totally crazy. Am I going through an orientation period?
Brakkk... Piles of files slammed on the table. The sound made Dona slide the chair towards me and look at her head behind the room that was restricting us.
"Bbbb." He chuckles.
"Laughs?"
"You're being bullied by the boss, huh?"
An upset breath just came out seeing Dona laughing at me.
"Happy, huh?"
"Not wrong, yeah. We've almost all been bossed."
"Oh, huh?"
"Heem. Sorry, yes. I didn't tell you that." He grimaced and showed a row of his queen teeth.
"How else."
Without waiting for a long time, I immediately looked and checked this file. A pretty messy heart was a little seized with this busyness. Maybe I should be thankful that the fatigue at the office on the first day of work, can help me forget a little about the problems at home.
A few hours have gone by. My eyes were still busy looking at the screen and the paper that filled my desk. Occasionally scratching the head because of difficulty.
Azan ashar was already late.evening was waiting. However, this pile of papers still seized my mind.
I looked out the window. From up here, the sun begins to turn red. Rest your eyes a little because a few hours do not stop looking at the screen.
"Not done yet, Al?"
"Not yet, Don."
"Casian. I'll go home first, huh. It was afternoon, here. My son must have been waiting, huh." Dona stood up and tidied up some messy files on her desk.
He grabbed the bag and left.
"Just go on tomorrow, Al."
I just smiled wryly. Maybe this is my consequence of wanting a job. However, I must accept it patiently. Perhaps, this could be a stepping stone so that I can be a successful career woman. Not to be ashamed when lined up with Rey.
"You haven't come home yet?" asked Rian who was standing in front of my desk.
"Not yet, sir," I answered immediately.
"The other one's home. Why haven't you?"
He is not about. Obviously this pile of files is what keeps me here.
I just glanced at him for a moment.
"It's not finished, sir."
"Well, tomorrow again."
Eyebrows were linked and these eyes glanced at him.
"Tomorrow?"
"I didn't ask you to finish it today?"
This mouth suddenly gaped. My face must be really bad right now.
Rian turned around with an amused chuckle. Although the laughter was stifled, I could confirm that he was very satisfied with pranking me. Or I'm the only one who's really carried away.
Seriate...
