“Joana, are you inside? open the door!”
Joana just looked towards the door of her room without intending to step there in the slightest.
“Joana, don't let me break the door for the second time!” threaten the man from outside.
Joana's crying became more and more, she never expected her life for these two days would be this complicated. What is his fault and sin?
Hearing the threat, inevitably, Joana got up from her seat, towards the door. If it breaks down and the door is broken again, there is no way Joana tonight would sleep in an open door. It was too dangerous for him.
Joana grabs a tissue to wipe her tears, then picks up the jacket hanging behind the door, Joana puts it on and closes her body tightly.
“What else is it?” the woman opened the door and only her head was bare.
Alva swallowed his coarse salivary, feeling even more guilty seeing how the woman before him looked at this moment. Moist eyes, red nose, slightly swollen lips and disheveled hair.
“I'm sorry, let's talk for a minute.” gently, very softly Alva said. “Part we haven't eaten-“
“Speaking from here, Sir. I am tired.” complained Joana without wanting to stare, she was only able to see the patterned floor she was stepping on.
“Before, Joana..” Alva knew he was wrong, so as much as possible he tried to melt Joana's heart.
The woman shook her head. “Begin, Sir. If it is about the rules in this house that you will apply, please write or type it on paper, then stick it in the refrigerator. Tomorrow will be my-“
“Joana, forget about that rule!” teetah annoyed. “It's about us, and it was-“
“Please Sir, please really. Don't talk about it anymore. Think it never happened, huh? let me live a quiet life, I am tired and dizzy.” Joana wasn't joking about those words. He is indeed tired and dizzy if tired, especially if lack of sleep, the anemia will recur.
Alva was silent at Joana's rejection, let alone the woman asking her to forget everything as if nothing had happened.
“I closed Mr.” to be honest Joana also felt afraid, and was wrong to remember how dare he gave a hard slap to the man's face twice. Alva could have fired Joaja for that, but he didn't.
boughs.
Sound of door closed. Alva took a few steps back. Messy, today is really very chaotic. And all night Alva couldn't sleep well thinking about what she had done to Joana.
While Alva had just slept about an hour ago, at four in the morning the man had only been able to close his eyes and fall asleep quietly. All of Alva's life, this was the hardest problem she'd ever had. Why does guilt keep on poking her after doing that to Joana. Not about the kiss, but about the rough treatment.
Joana's ready, about to go to work. He is neat with his work suit, blouse outside is coated blazer, as well as office trousers that pretty print his body shape. It was not strange anymore, even the average female employee in the company, all dressed up like that. Mini skirt, pants and tight blazer, it's commonplace.
The woman sighed annoyed at how the state of the motorcycle that had not been driven for two days. The front hood and the right lamp broke. Depressing. “Yeah, how much more will it cost to fix this?” he knew this was the act of the haughty man named Alva, when he wanted to get the car out of the garage. But to beg and ask for compensation to the man was far from Joana's plan. He'd rather lose material things than lose self-esteem.
Disappointed, Joana chose to take a taxi, the important thing is that she can arrive at the office on time, and had breakfast even though only two pieces of cake and can of milk.
“Hai beb!”
Getting down from the taxi, and about to walk towards the office building, Joana passed Zea who also just got off the taxi. “Eh lo tumben not bring a car?” ask Joana.
“Ya... My car in the workshop. How's it? how are you feeling better?” Zea stared at Joana's face, her best friend looking different than usual. “It still hurts? why do you want to work anyway? can we take twenty-one days off in a year.” Zea reminded.
“Iya.. but I'm better,” replied Joana sure. They walked to the lobby.
“Hm, your lips why?” zea's eyes were fixed on Joana's lips which looked slightly injured, and had already begun to dry up.
Deg deg deg deg
Joana's heart was racing fast, because Zea was alluding to her lips. Back feeling and clearly remembered how Alva cradled his lips, biting and smearing rough there. “This canker sores, may drink less water.” Joanna touched her own lips.
“Stay guarding the truth, Ana.”
“Iya, bauble.”
Zea's eyes were fixed on the boss's special VIP parking area, there was no Alva's car there, whereas Zea thought he was late and Alva had already arrived first. But looking at the clock that was already close to showing at eight, but his boss had yet to arrive, made him wonder.
“Gue first yes, want to contact a handsome boss first, why has he not come yet? today many agendas.” Zea grabbed her phone from inside the bag, and passing by, they parted in the lobby. Joana headed for her place in the lobby, and Zea headed for the elevator.
