One Thing

Galang quickened his pace as soon as he arrived upstairs. Found the woman sitting at her desk in front of Dimitri's room two days after she drove him to the hospital.

"What are you doing here?" He then asked.

Clarra looked up and looked at the man.

"work."

"Aren't you sick? Why is it here?"

"You're overreacting? My stomach acid just relapsed, and I can still get out of bed instead of paralysis."

"But didn't the doctor tell you to rest? Your circumstances are worrying!"

"Yes, I'm on vacation for two days. And that's enough."

Arrow breathed hard.

"Tumben once in the morning like this you've come?" Clarra looked at her watch.

"Is it my job to replace you?"

"really?" Clarra smiled at a glance.

"Can?" he continued, and he checked a few things on his desk.

"Can be." Galang approaching. "Look at yourself."

The woman saw some schedule notes and everything she often worked on. The preparation of the meeting time and matters related to it. And all of them are well-organized for the next three days.

"Is it true that I can?"

Both corners of Clarra's lips were pulled back to form a smile.

"Look out?" Galang leaned his body.

"So don't worry, go home. Let me replace you for a few days. Take a vacation, go for a walk or take a break at home."

"And you're very busy here." Clarra looked up again.

"It's okay. There." Galang was happy because it seemed like this woman had improved.

"No." Clarra shook her head.

"See, you hard worker!" galang Cibir.

Clarra's speechless.

"Lho, are you working again?" Dimitri appeared afterwards.

"Yes Dim."

"It's healed?"

"It."

"Related?"

"Related."

"Seriously? Later if there's anything Aunt Vita will blame me again?"

"Not going to."

"I hope so. Don't let Nikolai Group look bad because it doesn't let its employees rest when sick" Dimitri said.

"Mahaha ..." Galang moved his index finger towards Clarra.

"No, I'm fine."

"Well, good luck."

***

Clarra was stupefied between the canteen tables that seemed full that day. There was no place empty like the previous days because the middle of the month everyone was chasing their deadlines. This causes every employee to choose to eat at the cafeteria that is available rather than go out to rest.

The table in the corner where he used to sit was already filled, and there was no way he could join them. He's not ordinary.

But Clarra found a familiar face when circulating her gaze in the other direction, enjoying her lunch interspersed with warm chat with other employees as usual.

"This seat is empty?" The woman decided to get closer.

The three people who were there stopped their activities, then looked up. Galang Included.

"All the tables are full, and I've taken food." Clarra with her lunch tray in hand.

"Is there a chair that fills?" The woman repeated the question.

"No, sit down." replied Galang who shifted some objects on the table so that there was room for Clarra to put down her tray.

"Thank you." He immediately sat on the empty chair.

No one intended to start the conversation, because everyone knew that the woman who had just joined did not like it. They choose to quickly finish their meal so they can leave immediately and return to finish their work that day. While avoiding unwanted things that might happen if they interact with the number one secretary of Nikolai Group.

"How are you guys doing?" Unexpectedly Clarra started the conversation. Although hesitant, but he tried to learn to mince words.

The three people in front of him looked at each other.

"Currently, we're finishing up some things so we can meet the deadline later." Error answering.

"Hm ... And you, Regina?" clarra asked the women she knew working in the finance division.

"Quite smoothly, there are a few things that have to be reviewed from the two projects and it's quite tiring. But so far it can still be handled."

Clarra nodded her head.

"And you, Febri?" Clarra turned to the man beside Galang.

"Lumayan. We are trying to complete some cooperation agreement letters as you ordered. I guess this afternoon will be at your desk before home." The man replied.

"Good." A smile on Clarra's lips that used to be tightly closed if not talking about work.

"And you alone?" Regina ventured to ask.

"Me?"

"Yes. How's work? I heard you were in the hospital yesterday?" The woman continued after finishing her lunch.

Clarra was stunned for a while, then she glanced at Galang who was looking at her in silence.

"Good." Then he answered.

"Thank God." Regina.

"Sorry, it looks like I have to leave now, my job is waiting." Febri seemed to have finished his eating.

"Is that?"

"Yes, you know, all that work can't finish itself." The man chuckled.

"Me too, sorry. My weekly report is also waiting to be done. And I want it all done on time." Regina also said.

"Good." Clarra replied before the two staff left after their lunch was over.

Now all that was left was her Galang, who continued her eating activities quietly without a sound. In fact, you could say if the man casually enjoyed every mouthful of his food.

"Everyone works fast, right?" Clarra fed the rice with the piece of meat and vegetables into her mouth.

"That's how it all needs to be done on time, right?" Error answering.

"Hmm ... to the point of just eating them in a hurry."

Galang.

"Why are you laughing?" Clarra looked again at her co-worker.

"Newly aware, huh? Where have you been all this time? Looks like it's just me in Nikolai Group who's spending his break relaxing?"

"really?"

"Yes, sometimes I go back upstairs when everyone's gone and it's lonely in the cafeteria. I like it here."

"Because there's plenty of food here." Galang laughing. "And again, the atmosphere is similar on campus."

The woman nearby frowned.

"Definitely because remember the courtship period with your ex-boyfriend?" Clarra squinted her eyes.

Galang fell silent with an expression that looked annoyed.

"What?" Clarra returned to feed her food without any guilt.

"Why do you have to remind me of that?"

"Why indeed?"

"I'm trying to forget him."

"Times?"

"I almost forgot, but your words made me remember him again."

Clarra rolled her eyeballs.

"Ah, my appetite is gone." Galang put his spoon on a plate where the food in it is half left.

"You're overreacting!" Clarra chuckles. He liked the man's irritated expression which made him look like a child.

His forehead wrinkled and his lips pursed, his maturity disappearing for a while.

"You're a bitch!" murmured Galang who drank his water.

***

"Did you see that?" the hallway was not completely empty at the end of the day.

"What?"

"Suddenly, Ms. Clarra mingled with the other staff in the cafeteria."

"Oh yeah? Why why anyway? Is there Mr Galang?"

"If Mr. Galang is a regular, but Ms. Clarra? He is usually alone. No one can get close, and everyone is like at his enemy."

"Are you there?"

"Seriously, it was the first time he wanted to join another employee."

"good right? That means he's aware that he doesn't work alone here. But there are other employees."

"Or she's conscious of something else." The woman chuckled.

"What?"

"It was good yesterday that he was sick for two days, making him repent."

"Huss! Don't say that!"

"So she sucks. Don't see how two days ago he got mad at you for asking for more time?"

"Mnh ...."

"I think the pain is karma. That's why people shouldn't be like that. He relied on the company the most and made it happen to us. Later if I retire too I'm sure this company will not care about it anymore."

"Ssssttt, don't talk recklessly. What if someone hears?"

"No will! She's working on top?"

"If there's someone else?"

"Whose other people?" The conversation looked engrossing while someone at the end of the hall listened in silence.

Clarra, who had just returned from the canteen overheard the chatter, and it made her emotions peak.

He almost went out and approached the three women in front of him when Galang pulled his arm to hold him.

"Let me act" said the man, who pushed back Clarra to stay in hiding.

Galang walked leisurely towards the three female servants who were still unaware of his existence. His steps tend to be relaxed and almost inaudible. Until finally the distance is only about one meter left, and they still talk about Clarra and make it as a joke.

"Ehm ..." He cleared his throat which immediately stopped the conversation.

"You again, hadehh .." he said, shaking his head.

"Lalays at work, likes to gossip, and now makes fun of others?"

The three women were silent.

"This is if Ms. Clarra who heard it herself could be serious. You're gonna get a dismissal warrant right away." They stared at them one by one.

"Sorry sir, we're not ...."

"Not to reason, I hear everything you say. Including making Ms. Clarra's pain a joke."

The women closed their mouths.

"It's good that I heard. Not Mr. Andra, or Ms. Clarta herself. Otherwise, you're out."

"Or don't you guys want to work here?"

"What's? N-no sir." Nereka shakes his head.

"Do you guys gossip more than work?"

"We just ...."

"Not many reasons, quickly finish your work. And do you not also have to complete your task, which asks for an additional two days?" Galang pointed to one of them.

"If you're done quickly deliver it to Ms. Clarra's desk. For his work to be reduced. Do you know why he got sick? Because he has to finish a lot of things that we should be able to handle. So, instead of you making fun of him, better help him by completing your deadline on time" said the man, at length.

"Hurry up!" Galang raised his tone, making the three female servants surprised.

"Good sir." They immediately went to their respective rooms.

"Let's go back upstairs, and finish our job?" Return to Clarra.

They walked slowly to the elevator.

"Why did you do that?" Clarra opened her voice after they were already inside the iron box.

"What?" Galang leaned with both hands he put in his pants pocket.

"Saying what you just said to them?"

"It's okay."

Clarra looked at him closely.

"You know, sometimes people just talk when they don't know anything. Just because they see something, they assume that's what they know. But honestly they're wrong."

"And you're trying to tell them?"

"No." Galang shook his head.

"I just did what I had to do."

"What's that?"

The man smiled slantedly.

"What?"

"Tell me what I know but they don't know."

Then the two people fell silent with their own thoughts.
