Not Just a Shadow

Chapter 14

I was still sitting carried away my mind glancing at the photo that was on the back shelf of Mr. Febrian. I started to tear my eyes because of the pain in my heart.

“ Ra, you why?” Hira did not hear the Febrian rebuke.

“ Ra, are you okay?” Hira still doesn't hear.

Mr. Febrian approached Hira's chair and stood slightly leaning against his desk. Febrian held Hira's hand.

“Hai," while holding the back of Hira's hand. Until it dawned on Hira's mind.

“ Hmm," a hoarse voice suddenly came out from my lips, feeling choked in my throat. I looked up to see Mr. Febrian holding my hand. Shocked me.

“What are you thinking? You see that photo? That was my shot, when we did not hesitate to have an event together. The woman in the picture is my cousin. You must have seen it. He's been on the cover of business magazines, everywhere. In addition to a beautiful face that becomes a company figure, he is also a reliable leader. She's the daughter of the Mandala group's owner, has a branch company in the city too."

“Male next to him?” the question just popped out.

“ Coincidentally his name is the same as the one you wrote in yesterday's file, he is the heart of that company. My uncle is getting old and he has only one daughter, that is Rina in the photo (Pak Febrian pointed at the photo behind him while turning around slightly behind me) Ferdian is my uncle's confidant, as well as the perfect man of my sister's dreams, it had been a long time that she harbored a taste for him.But somehow Ferdian felt for Rina. I don't know, I'm familiar and familiar but because of the busyness, we rarely communicate to privacy. All I know was that Rina once said 'I waited for the mountain lava to stop letting out its heat' I was confused at that time, the hot lava was what the meaning contained, I said, new love or the pain of a broken heart? I never asked him. I was just a good listener for him. Because I'm sure whatever he is, he's a tough, mature-minded person."

“When did Mbak Rinanya say that?” my question just came out.

“ 6 years, 7 years ago maybe" replied Mr. Ferdian.

"That means not waiting for the love that sucks but waiting for Mas Ferdian to move on from Mbak Emma” I said in my heart.

"I guess you didn't listen to my words that suddenly bounced. Here's the file already, send it to Finance. After that stop by my room again daunted, while bringing black coffee huh Ra?” he said casually, like it was gone the cold that he brought in the beginning he entered.

“ Ok, sir “ I answer no more fear.

I brought a cup of coffee I made myself to Mr. Febrian, after sending the file to Finance.

“ Thanks Ra. Oya Ra, I'd like to ask you a question about that. You know Ferdian? Yesterday you also clearly wrote his name, without less than one letter.“

“ Probably just a coincidence sir, mostly read magazines sir. Nulis time nglamun.“ I replied evasively.

“ Em." said Mr. Febrian briefly, without any suspicion at all.

“ Why not Ra lift? Once upon a time it was important“ said Mr. Febrian made me a bit awkward.

“I'm sorry sir,” I came out of Mr. Febrian's room to pick up my phone that didn't stop ringing.

“ Yes Mas.” I replied rather coldly, forgetting not to say hello.

“ Waalaikumsalam darling."

“ Heh. Assalamallaikum Mas, sorry." My answer sounds cold. The pain in my heart seemed to forget the zero-zero lined up in my saldoku, the delivery in his name.

“Waalaikumsalam dear, there seems to be these unpleasant smells?" sindir Mas Ferdian's. I got to my desk, just sat down. Ryco interrupted, either conscious or unaware that I was on the phone.

“ Already done Bang, did not raise the file. The guy asked for coffee. Yes no makein.” I whispered, distancing my phone.

“ Entar nyandu you know Ra, Brother you have never made coffee. Though we've been together for a long time." Ryco's voice added volume, Ma'am Tari to look.

“ I have a phone, stay quiet” Ryco stick out his tongue. And I hit his arm. Karna Ryco is.

“ Sorry Mas, earlier bang Ryco disturb. Why Mas, I'm the one pacing around here, smells up to it?” I replied still with a spicy tone.

“Eh Mas, Mr. Feb called me. Entar is connected again, huh? Wasalam” without waiting for his greetings. I closed the phone connection. I can't control my heart.

Today I struggled with my busy work and I took college, permission to go home a little early. When permission came, Mr. Febrian gave me his personal contact. I'm a little confused, but I'm grateful that one day I can get a sudden permit if you need one.

Up to three times Mas Ferdian called my phone, but only me lyrics while dripping my tears. My heart ached, my heart felt inferior to what Mr. Febrian had told me. Because the person in the photo room Mr. Febrian, who was looking at each other earlier is Mas Ferdian. I feel how small I am, how nothing I am compared to Ms. Rina. People who have loved him in silence for a long time.

It's only natural that so many girls chase after him, because he's so perfect. I will not give up on my struggle to be a little more worthy of her. But after knowing who loved him. I feel, it's done! As good as anything, as hard as I try will not be able to match him. I decided to go to bed soon. Not until I close my eyes. There's a chat coming in and I open my phone.

From: Letiana

Brother, how are you? How do you directly say that...?

To : Letiana

It's good, ma'am,

From: Letiana

Everything's okay, right?

To : Letiana

Yes, my beautiful sister Mas Fer,

Brother is doing it, I want a broken phone. Please, it's important!

When I read the last chat, Letiana's aura was serious I couldn't resist. And immediately called it.

Callings...

Letiana

“Assalamualaikum An,”

“ Waallaikumsalam Kak, sorry Kak night-night disturb. I want to tell Brother a little bit about something. But Mommy take a breath first huh?”

“Kak, I once said about me not wanting to call Mbak, Kak aja just like call brother Ferdian. Let me be my sister-in-law, remember? “

“ Yes, Ma'am remember. Why emang? “

“Short story, Brother Fer used to have a past that hurt him until Brother Fer reopened his heart when with Brother Hira, I do not want Brother Fer hurt again. And I also want Kak Hira to be my brother-in-law because Kak Hiralah who makes Kak Fer can smile to feel love. That's the problem here, Emma's sister still comes home a lot...." Not finished Letiana told me Hira's heart was busy.

“During this time I felt he just wanted to annoy Kak Fer with his presence, not just want to stop by to see Mom, Letiana continued

“ Can't su’zon"

“Finally, sister, she is very odd to be a girl. Wherever you try, it's broken up! He who left, he could have been pacing to visit. No face, right? It is clear, if he wants to come back and regrets to have left Brother Fer. If I were him, I would never face my face in front of the ex I had hurt. Especially with the frills of cheating” he continued again, I just listen with jelly.

“Continue? It's the past" I said.

“ Brother Hira, be careful with him. When I went to the bathroom, he seemed to be holding my phone! Maybe he was looking for something. He's a wolf in sheep's clothing, brother must be vigilant.... ”

“ Sutt...(but I stopped Ana talking ) can't talk like that huh?"

" But Brother...."

“After night, tomorrow connected again Yes An, today my kingdom stacked let alone my college assignments a lot. Met An night, thanks for the info, assalamallaikum"

“Ok Mbak, waallaikumsalam “

Letiana thought "Sir Hira a little avoid or try not to know or something wrong with them? or maybe my info was first Emma's mom?" Letiana patted her head.

I'm using, “The season is like aja opor seasoning, hah.(i sighed that feels tight ). I hope tomorrow morning my heart will be as bright as the sun"
