I was sitting in front of a mirror this morning. Lightly sweep the sponge to the face. When I finished, I put on a nude lip mouse. The maroon-red hijab is done I wear.
"Where are you going?" ask Rey who is still lying under the blanket.
"I'm going to the office. Submit a letter of resignation."
"Do I need to drive you?"
"No need. But, in exchange. Can you decide to work with Vina?"
Actually my request is a little difficult. Vina is a pretty important business partner for Rey's company. If he doesn't approve my request, I don't know what to do after this.
"That's all?"
I frowned and looked. Looking at Rey a little strangely.
"That's all?"
"Hem. Actually, I can do that when. Because I thought, Vina has let me marry someone else, it turns out, I was wrong. It's acting."
I never thought it would be this easy to get Rey to cut off her job with Vina. Perhaps, this is the wisdom behind this incident.
**
I looked out the window of the car while holding an envelope with a letter of resignation. I can't imagine Rian knowing this. Yesterday, I told her I was going to part with Rey. I am back with Rey. What's he say later? He will make fun of me.
"Sir Jon, wait a minute. I'm not long, though."
"Ready, Mom."
The door opened confidently. Even though it was a little trembling, I still had to do this.
"Alma," said Dona. Ah, I had to pass another employee to get into Rian's room.
"Where, Al. You're not like your husband, are you."
I smile. "No, really."
"Cie, I'm sorry."
"Flewers times, ah." He grabbed my arm with his arm.
"You still work here, right?" ask Dona.
The question managed to make my face change instantly. I kept quiet and thought. How am I going to explain this to Dona.
"No." I smiled with a forced.
"I want to be a good housewife, Don."
"Yes. No papa. Maybe with this decision of yours, it can make you happier."
"Aamiinu. Oh, ja. Rian's in his room, isn't he?"
"There was. I was just there."
I glanced at the door for a moment. The door that connects directly to Rian's room. I took a breath, then exhaled. I walked slowly while looking at the corner of this room. When I was right in front of my desk first, I stopped. Remembering the memories I painted a while ago.
Even the memories of the surprise that occurred in this office, were still very much felt. After a few minutes of nostalgia, I finally walked into Rian's room.
"Excuse me, sir."
The big, tall chair turned to face me as I greeted.
"elvin. Please come in."
Deg. Deg. Deg.
This heart is even like a bedug struck when the azan will reverberate.
"Hows it? Can you get back to work?" The first question made me take a deep breath.
"No, Sir." These lips became a victim of my disbelief. His bite was quite strong at this moment.
Rian smiled thinly. "So, are you going to resign?"
I nodded slowly. "Yes, sir."
Rian seemed to open a drawer on the side table that was not far from his reach. He gave me a chocolate envelope. Now I reached into the bag and took the envelope with the letter of resignation.
"Here, your last paycheck."
"I'm sorry, sir," I said softly.
"Sorry why?"
I looked at Rian. His face was now very relaxed. Very different from me.
"elvin. Next time, you have to ask the question. You talk about it well. Not running away like that."
Embarrassed. That's the word I feel now. My face is warming at the moment. Like an iron ready to use.
"Yes, sir."
"I pray for you to always be happy."
Very kind. It is my heart that has given hope to a truly good person like him.
"Thank you, sir," I said in a trembling voice.
"Take this. I paid my salary this month in full."
May God give you a good soul mate too, Rian.
I took the brown envelope and walked out. Already dripped some water from this eye patch. I'm really good at things like this.
The busyness of the other colleagues, makes me focused on them. After this, I could no longer work, laugh and joke with them. Maybe I will miss the busy times of working on a pile of paper.
"Here, Don." I gave him a hundred thousand dollars."
"What money is this?"
"My salary this month. I'll give you a little. You need quite a lot. So, I think this could lighten things up a little."
Dona seemed to have received money from me.
"Thank you, yeah, Al. Very good to pay for electricity and other things. You know that I'm a bitch again."
"Yes, you're welcome."
A sense of happiness because it can help others radiated. Although what we give is not too much, at least can make others smile is a joy in itself.
"I'm home, yeah. I'm sorry if I've been wrong with you all this time, yeah, Don." I kissed Dona's cheeks.
Unexpectedly, the other coworkers listened to us talk, also talk.
"Alma resign?" ask Sacred.
"Yes." Yeah."
"Well, why? Don't feel right here, huh?"
I smiled as I saw him begin to walk towards me.
"No, really."
The saint also shakes hands and kisses the cheek. Saying an apology, so do I. The atmosphere became sad for a moment. Not wanting to linger here, I finally decided to go home.
Although only a few months here, I felt a warm kinship. Meet such a good co-worker. There is no reason not to work here. Moreover, always face to face with the cool and good widower. Hopefully, there is a girl who can treat the heart and is willing to fill the emptiness of the recesses of her heart.
I turned around and stared at the towering building from the courtyard. Look at every window. I wish Rian was looking at me right now. The man really has a big heart.
"Road, sir," I said as I entered the car.
"We're going straight home, ma'am?" asked Mr. Joni while looking at me from the reflection of the glass on the wheel.
"We'll buy orange juice first, sir."
"Good, Mom."
Happiness still covers the heart. This smile, unceasingly popped up while recalling the strange things Rey did even beyond my expectations. I never thought he could steal my picture on some occasion. He had deliberately locked the phone with his face so that I could not see the contents of his phone in the slightest. Sometimes it makes people feel suspicious.
Drrr. Drrr.
My phone's vibrating. My husband's name is there. I'll pick up the phone from him immediately.
"Assalamualaikum, my husband."
"Vaalaikumsalam. Where are you?"
"Again the road. Why?"
"Can we have lunch together?"
I smile. "alright. I'm going there."
Intentions want to go home, but a dear husband calls. It's okay, it's also good that I'll have lunch with him.
