My Patient Husband

Chapter 38. Mixed liver

Felisha was not used to this kind of situation. Ando's silence this time really made him go awry and confused about where to start a conversation. He prefers Ando who immediately asks if there is something stuck in his heart rather than having to be quiet like this. Lisha doesn't like it.

Arriving at an empty chair that was a bit far from the crowd of people. Although there are still people who pass by but not as crowded elsewhere. Ando sat down by putting both hands into the pocket of the jacket he wore.

Felisha then sat next to the man who had been with her for about two years, passing various tests in her life. It can be said that Ando always faithfully accompanied him under any circumstances. But now he seemed to see the other side of his lover. Lisha doesn't know him. He doesn't like to see it that way.

"Is there anything you want to explain, baby?" Ando's question started the conversation but his tone remained flat without turning towards Felisha.

At once Felisha turned to the left where the tall man who was none other than her lover was sitting. Staring for a moment and turning her gaze back to the front then looking down and "heeuuuuuuuhuuuuuuuu" Felisha cupped her face up her thighs crying sobbing spilling tears that had just been in her hold. Do not like the treatment of Ando who was very cold to him, who always silenced him since earlier in the boarding house.

"Eeh..kok even cry..heh" Ando so confused to see his lover sobbing like a child who asked to buy candy but not allowed by his mother.

"heeuuheeuheeuu..." Felisha is sobbing.

Quickly Ando hugged her and stroked her lover's arm from the side while wiping away the tears that fell on her cheeks. Panicked with the answer Felisha gave to her question. Ando let the woman in his arms finish his sobbing but never stopped.

"why are you crying, huh?" Ando scratched the back of his head that was not itchy due to confusion.

"heuu.sorry...heeuuu.." Lisha replied with a cry as she tried to say an apology amongst her sobs.

"I'm sorry about what, baby.hah?" Said Ando who was still hugging his lover while wiping away every tear that fell on the woman's cheek.

"sorry.ma I'm sorry.." Felisha's birthday is still stammering because it is still sobbing small.

"Yes.but you're not wrong baby.why do you apologize" said Ando as gently as possible so that his lover was calmer and it worked.

And now Felisha hugged Ando. Sitting hugging each other, Ando kissed the top of his lover's head covered in instant hijab with affection and long. They were both silent with their own thoughts. But Ando's big hand did not stop stroking his lover's arm.

Although it feels calmer, but Lisha does not want to release her embrace from the lover. Ando let it go until Lisha really calms down and wants to explain everything.

"Sister.don't get me kayaking again.I don't like it I don't like the tree I don't like.." Lisha complains while hugging tightly the man who had also not released his embrace. Little screams are still heard occasionally. He was really not used to Ando being cold to him. Strange feeling.

"What if I'm silent?" Ando gave a stifled smile as he put his cheek on top of Felisha's head which was shorter than his.

"I don't like it in cuekin sis.I don't like the tree.."

"Okay..alright.I won't ignore you anymore. But where are you going tomorrow? I just saw it seems you guys are so busy this ready that it does not horrify me said greetings until twice you know no one realized..uh apparently not kelar until I knock on the door while saying a new greeting deh in denger". Ando said at length tucked a little irritated tone there.

Felisha was silent for a moment to hear Ando's words which turned out to have long since he came to the boarding house. That meant there was a chance that he heard all of their conversations earlier.

" Kak Ando was listening to what were we talking about?" While releasing her embrace Felisha asked Ando.

"Yes a lot..." Ando answered looking at his lover who looked starting to panic. The one in the face just lowered his fingers to twist his hand.

"What did you guys say? talk to me, huh?" Ando stumbled on his lover's seductive smile. It's nice to see a confused lover wanting to explain but not knowing where to start.

"Lita and I got a call from the office where we both got in the job application..." Eventually Felisha was able to explain everything to Ando. No exception about the voice that called her earlier was similar to the voice of the former who was none other than Mato.

Patiently and faithfully Ando listened to the curses of his lover while looking at him fixedly. Trying to digest what has been told by the woman in front of him now by leaning on the back of the bench.

"Sister..."

"Hmmm..."

"Will I go to Rayapharmindo's office tomorrow for an interview?"

Silent...Ando did not immediately answer Lisha's question. Grabbing his lover's chin to look up to see him, he looked fixed into the eyes of the lover, how much his desire to join the interview tomorrow. He saw there was a spirit and hope to enter the company. And finally Ando nodded "Yes no papa, as long as you like me to join the seneng" said Ando who was immediately rewarded with a tight hug from the lover.

"thank you brother..." Lisha said and nodded by Ando.

Bending her day, Felisha and Lita are ready to leave for their respective destinations. Rufi always cheered on her two best friends who today will fight for a better future. Before they left, they prayed together. This time Felisha refuses to be picked up by Ando as she is about to go with her best friend Lita. Ando understood and finally relented, it just so happened that this afternoon he was also going out of town because there was outside service that he might come home rather late.

"Assalamu'alaikum's chat..."

"Yesa.ttdj...Wa'alaikum..." Answer Rufi.

Felisha and Lita set off on a cheaper public transport ride. Understandably because it is still unemployed status so it must be more efficient. Rayapharmindo office has been seen, Felisha increasingly deg-deg and will take part in interviews in the office that stands towering into the sky. He first got off from Lita, while Lita herself still continued her journey to her destination hospital which was also not far from the office of Rayapharmindo.

Lisha swiftly tidied up her appearance while walking towards the loby. Arriving in the lobby he went straight to the receptionist and said his purpose came to the office. The receptionist kindly asked the local security guard to take Felisha to the destination.

While waiting for the elevator to open that would take them to the floor where the hall where the job applicants were waiting for was located, Lisha circulated her gaze in every corner of the room where she was standing.

Ting.the elevator door is open.

The security guard first entered and then followed by Lisha. Inside there are two women who if seen from their appearance they are employees in the office. Smiling kindly to the security guard who also replied kindly. In the elevator, no one could make a sound.

Ting.the elevator door is back open.

"Let's not go to Dalem" said the security guard while pointing to a room large enough according to Lisha who was on the floor with her thumb. Looks like his security guard is Javanese.

"Oh yes sir" Lisha nodded and followed the steps of the security guard named Sukirman according to what Lisha saw on his signboard.

"Please enter neng. Please join the others. Then excuse me first". The security guard immediately resigned after delivering Felisha.

" Yes sir, thank you so much for driving me". Said Lisha with a slight bowing of her body.

"nggeh sami - sami neng".

After the departure of the security guard, Lisha entered the hall which turned out there were many job applicants who sat waiting while chatting. Lisha saw there was Shinta, a friend who since entering the cover letter she had met with her and was quite familiar immediately.

"Shinta's.." Call Lisha while sitting on the empty seat next to Shinta. Shinta turned her head and was immediately surprised to see that there was Lisha who would of course do an interview today just like it was because she was in the same room as him.

"Heyy..Lisha..aaa.I finally got a temen". Shinta immediately hugged Lisha was happy to finally have a friend to chat because from now on she just looked down at her cellphone. Because there are no chat friends he chose to tinker with hp. Lisha hugged Shinta back. They finally chatted while waiting for the call.

One by one the people in the room were called to do a question and answer in the interview room. Lisha was so nervous knowing this was the first time she had followed this stage. But his anxiety was slightly treated by the presence of Shinta beside him. They both calm each other by holding hands that are both cold.

And now it's Lisha's turn to come in. Pushing the glass door slowly and say hello with a soft whisper like a whisper to himself and not heard by the owner of the room. He found a person sitting behind a desk with his back to the entrance while fiddling with the leptop in front of him and occasionally looking at the files beside his leptop. It seemed like he was busy without even realizing his arrival.

"Excuse me sir." Lisha said very politely.

The moment the hand of the man who was moving on the board stopped when he heard Lisha's voice. Felisha's heart beat faster than usual as it was about to get out of its civilization. As quickly as possible Felisha neutralized her heartbeat, lest it be heard by the man who was now in her presence.

Felisha was sure that the state of her face now could not be restored as it was when it was bright and vibrant but that was okay, he will try his hardest not to be affected by the reality he got this morning so he still looks fine. It follows the existing path.

He doesn't care if he gets accepted or not after this. Trying not to be affected by the circumstances was very difficult for Lisha but she always returned her concentration during the question and answer session to stay focused until the time was over.

After the question and answer session was over, Lisha hurriedly resigned herself but remained polite.

"Thank you sir, excuse me". Felisha smiled sweetly and lowered her head politely and then turned to leave the room that made her claustrophobic this morning without any reply from the owner of the room. Mato was glued with that smile. He hadn't seen her in a long time. Mato misses her so much.

" Lisa..." The baritone's voice instantly made Felisha stop her footsteps towards the door without turning back. Silence awaits the continuation of that call. He heard footsteps approaching him. Closing your eyes for a moment takes a breath and then slowly throws it out of your mouth. Trying to neutralize his heart and heart at this time.

The closer his heart gets, the more uncontrollable it becomes. Quickly he turned around and faced the man who tried to approach him that was none other than Mato. Who left her without a message. Mato got closer and was about to grab her hand but was directly tepis by Lisha.

"Sorry sir. Can I help you?" Lisha's words managed to make Mato's heart like it was pierced by a knife. His face instantly flushed withstanding the turmoil in the chest. It felt like he was pulling Felisha into his arms, hugging her tightly without letting go of her again. But Lisha's words just now made her fall from a height and it hurt so much.

"Lisha..." Say Mato again.

"If there's nothing to talk about, excuse me sir". Lisha immediately turned towards the door and left Mato who was transfixed to see her Lisha whom she loved so much now like someone who did not know her. There was pain, disappointment, hatred and longing that he saw in the eyes of the woman he had left behind. He had no idea what to do after his first meeting with Lisha after so many years left him with no news at all.

Turn around and sit back in the chair. Shut up for a moment and then sip the water on the table until the toilet hopes that the mood returns because there are still other participants who have to be interviewed today. Trying to work with professionals without involving a heart that is not okay.
