Not Just a Shadow

Not Just a Shadow
Chapter 13



Mbak Tari and Ryco seem to have no points for my relationship with Mas Ferdian. Or maybe I'm not normal. It makes no sense to have an uncertain relationship. Even though I live a little more, at least I will be a little more worthy if you are with Mas Ferdian. As they were busy with Mr. Ryan's topic, I stood up to hand over the report Mr. Febrian requested.


 


“Ra, wait a minute." said Mr. Febrian flipping through the file I gave him.


“Are you sick?" I shook my head.


"Do you have any problems at home?" I was silent, Mr. Febrian still lowered his head while researching the writing on the file I gave him.


“Do I have to sign here? I approached beside him, he looked up at my face. His gaze was full of question marks, and there was an aura of emotion in his eyes.


“Look carefully Ra!" he still invites me to puzzles.


"Should I sign? Front is ok, overall report is ok. One small mistake, but it's important. You still don't realize Ra?" really cornered me, wanted to spill my tears, not because of my fault, not because of Mr. Febrian's words but because of fatigue in my heart.


“Ra, why are you crying, how will your friend think, if you cry in my room? Quickly fix my part of the name, I won't ask your explanation. I'll sign it soon. Send file immediately. After that, tell your friends we're packing home."


 


“Iya Sir. Thank ye. Excuse me." turns out I just typed the name of the person in charge with the name Mas Ferdian. I patted my cheek, cursing my carelessness as I walked towards my desk.


 


“Why Ra?” ryco asked confusedly.


“Technical error“ replied me origin.


 


“Focus Ra, focus! Just think it's all!”


 


I just smiled in response to Ryco's words. I'm done going back to Mr. Febri's room. I immediately packed home, when I entered the elevator accidentally there was Mr. Ryan there.


“Sore Ra,"


“Yes, good afternoon too sir." I kind of lowered my head, because there were other employees there including Mbak Tari and Ryco. Mr. Febri is still overtime alone.


 


“Hmm...hmmm (deheman Ryco makes things awkward) Oya Ra, I forgot to take a taxi for you. I can't take you with me either, Ra. There's business because, you're just like Dance!"


"I'm not baw..." not finished Ma'am Dari said I took my Hp which reads the tone of the chat in, I hope Mas Ferdian.


 


“What, I can wait.." Suddenly there was an incoming chat I saw while answering Ryco.


From: Mr. Divisiku (i haven't changed his name on my contact menu )


 With me, I waited in the parking lot.


"Nu..nuggu taksi.” I continued with my answer to Ryco. And the chat came in again,


From: Mr. Divisiku


 Don't refuse, I'll wait until you show up.


 


Dizziness what I answer, while Ryco has been lyrical to me who is still just looking at my phone screen.


“Already, yes!" ryco whispered near my ear.


“ Missing one appears a thousand, doesn't Ri?" gunyamnya to Mbak Dance that I can hear.


 


Ma'am Tari and Ryco went straight out with me and blinked one eye.


“ Beware yes, you guys purposely set me up!" I grumbled because I was stuck in a situation. I pulled Ryco's back shirt. Which makes Ryco to complain because his shirt is so tight to form his body. My pull was translucent on his back skin.


 


I saw Mr. Ryan passing me like he wasn't the one who sent me a chat. I walked slowly as if avoiding other employees. I decided to walk into the parking lot that Mr. Ryan's car usually occupied, on.dit. I quickly quickened my pace. Mr. Ryan opened the door from inside where he was sitting sweetly waiting for me.


“Long shell Ra, meet first huh?” he said when I got into the car.


“Wait quiet sir, afraid of unpleasant gossip“


“Do not be wary of that Ra, if there is any gossip no problem, right? We are both single. Sah dong, if we have a relationship. There are no company rules that require no courtship" Mr. Ryan said with a sweet smile at me. When I saw it too.


“ He...he...” I grin not clear what to say. It's impossible to say that you have a boyfriend.


 


Ryco said take advantage of what's in front of us. That means don't waste it. The journey to my home was awkward. And it feels like a long time not to the destination. I said goodbye and did not let him in, afraid that the thread would get tangled.


 


“See you tomorrow morning “ said Mr. Ryan made me just look down to say thank you.


 


Until the night there were still no signs of news, empty emails, chat was still piled with others, the list of the last post was still listed earlier this morning when the telephone. The name that always appears in every second of my time on my phone screen, all day like it has been erased in the contact list. My mind wanders “If he were no more in my days? How should I face my time? I won't be able to imagine Mas, how will my mind step up to fress back?” I fell asleep in my tears.


 


From: Mas Ferdian


 


I looked at my screen like I saw, how happy he was to type that writing! Without a burden of guilt I abandoned me yesterday. I looked forward to the chat, but when I saw it there was only a sudden pain that made my cheek wet. There is no desire to reply to the chat immediately. My pain increased when I remembered Letiana's trembling voice indicating something was covering her up.


 


I left the office with slightly puffy eyes. There was no movement from Mas Ferdian to call me after the chat I did not reply. It hurts more my heart. Along the way to my office, my tears were like the rain of the season. Shame on me getting inside the company entrance. I allocate myself “Oh..my eyes, why don't you be kind to me not to flood my cheeks?” I took a deep breath to regulate the tightness that was in my heart. “Hi tears don't you flow anymore, this is not a tributary!” I used to use myself as if I had lost my mind. I wiped it with the tissue in my hand trying to stop it. Before I reached my room, I stopped by the toilet and wiped my face with water. Exhausted, pale my face without the additional powder that I applied this morning before leaving.


“Hai Ra," Ryco raised my chin, scrutinizing my face after he glanced at me from the side as we walked along, I came out of the toilet hallway.


 


“Anaan anyway, hold-hold!" Nadaku was a little irritated.


 


“I'm just looking for answers from my curiosity. What happened to my cute sister this one? It's true, isn't it? It couldn't have been for Mr. Ryan. Aye right? Let's answer!” she cared about me as if I were her sister. He asked me a question without my chance to answer it.


“Sorry Ra, if I interfere too much. But I just want you to be really happy. I know you're happy with your love. And in a relationship there are obstacles, there are tests. But no matter what test we face, it's better if we live a relationship in reality. Not a lot of real shadows! As you live it. If I had known you earlier than my lover. Maybe I'll fall in love with you Ra. Everyone is easy to fall in love with. So please, you think carefully about which path you will go through, choose it! It is your choice that will determine your circumstances. Ok?


Now we go in the room or you'll let me take you home. I'll let you go to Mr. Febrian. How?” I fell silent, listening to my brother meet me. Unaware of how excited she was, I hugged her. I calmed down, as if finding shelter when it rained suddenly on my way. Suddenly Ryco let go of my embrace, making me realize what I was doing.


 


“You will make people misunderstand, My Cute Sister!” his warning shocked me. And I just realized that if we were still in the outer corner of the toilet hall near the road to our room, the pantura street passed by.


 


“Sorry Co., I'm in for work. I've been better. Thanks, it's like you can read what's on my mind. I can be relieved without me telling you at length, because you already understand first. When you're like this, you're not like someone who's been rounding me a lot."


 


“People will be stronger after he's bobbed. So don't you think bulian but consider it a free life immunity for you, Ra."


“Smoke your face again, (Ryco gave me the cloth handkerchief), wear lipstick so it doesn't look pale” I went back to the toilet wearing lipstick as Ryco suggested.


“Followly, I'll go inside first. Ok?” Ryco rubbed my head covered in a veil. And I replied with a nod.


 


I swept a little color over my lips, to erase the pale impression on my face.


 


“Bang, (my call to Ryco I changed, made Mbak Tari gawk in wonder. But the person I called smiled dearly, looking at me with the shade of affection ) a complementary file yesterday asked Mr. Febri tuh” said I ran out of Mr. Febri's room.


 


“Ok, it's ready. Just re-checking."


 


“Can I help?”


 


“By lah, thanks. I'm still working on this. I'll raise it soon, wait for the problem."


 


“Ih...Something strange this morning. Very hump! Outside the rain huh?” Mbak Tari did a little probing. But Ryco and I didn't really touch him. The temple did not hear it.


 


 


“Eh...Bang, this one right?” tanyaku and Ryco approached to stand around me from behind his hand holding the mouse.


" This is it, stack and put map.“ Ryco printed it out.


“Cie drama sister brother loves each other's story?" sindir Mbak Tari's.


I delivered the file directly to Mr. Febrian, because Mr. Febrian was waiting. I opened the door after hearing his orders.


 


“Pak, this is the file you requested from Ryco."


 


“Sit with Ra," while waiting for acc, my eyes went around looking at the photos on display. It doesn't belong to Mr. Ryan anymore. The face of one person in the photo, which makes my eyes not want to switch from there. Until it made my mind float.


 “ Ra, you why?”
