Not Superwomen

Kapok

A few months ago, there were two new employees in my office. First officer, it seems normal. As for the second officer, I saw something else.

For some reason, he came very close to me. Sometimes he suddenly entered my room, just to chat with people who really do not matter.

The other day, he took lunch together, but I refused. At that time, he also asked for my mobile number. In the evening, just call me just to say hello to the classic pleasantries.

I thought to myself, has he misunderstood my attitude all this time? From the moment I first met her, I greeted her and smiled every time I met her.

It's nothing, was afraid to be counted arrogant, mentang-about old officials. But if it's like this, I need to re-examine it. Is it because of my hospitality that she keeps coming to me?

He has also brought me some souvenirs several times. He said he just got home. I want to refuse to be afraid of being offended, finally having to be accepted even though it is not tasty as well. Just getting to know him was good. There's a shrimp behind the bakwan.

Some days, apparently secretly she also noticed that I went and went home from work always ride the ojek online, not delivered husband again. My husband is on duty outside the city

She quickly offered him a ride. Coincidentally our house is one way, even close together, only different complexes.

I blatantly refused because I did not want to bother and did not want to owe the same people. Moreover, my house position is a bit far from the highway. You have to walk down the street before you get home.

However, I have refused many times, he continues to force. Finally, with a heavy heart, I accepted his offer. He also seemed happy to be able to drive me home. Along the way, just keep chattering cheerfully.

The next day, at the hour of his return, he was waiting at the gate and taking me home with him again. This time I firmly refused because it happened to have ordered the ojek online as well.

"Sorry, yeah. I have ordered ojek. It's not good either, the time every day should keep people in check," I said reasoned.

"No bother, Mom. Our house is one way. Come on." Comeon." He tried to force.

"Yes, but my house is inside. Kasian has to go round and round the complex first." I still refuse.

"Thank you very much in advance, God willing tomorrow - tomorrow we can be together again. I go first, yeah!" pamitku fast.

It just so happened that my order came. Actually Kasian also saw him dumbstruck alone at the gate.

At night, I got a message on my phone. It turns out from him.

[Bu Elsa, sorry in advance if all this time I often SKSD the same Mother. The thing is, I see in this office all the mothers. Only Mother who looks friendly and kind, so I try to approach Mom continue. I am a jolly person and happy to make friends, but here it seems there is no suitable friend other than mother. In my room, too, all the fathers. So don't get bored if I see Mom often. Tc]

I smile to myself. Apparently that was the reason Ms. Astri had been approaching me all this time. It's worth not connecting, because my condition was just let down by a close friend at the office. So instead of being approached by people, even afraid.

My best friend was also good at first. Her mouth is incredibly sweet. During this time even we were close more than brothers, eating and drinking were always together. But he was a hypocrite, stabbing me in the back. My Aibku is everywhere.

So now I am traumatized to be close to people, even though I am both female, I keep my distance, do not want to be too close.

'Forgive me, Miss Astri.

It's not that I don't want to get close, but I'm clumsy. Let alone the new people, who have been friends for years, are still deceived as well. Okay we remain friends, but just ordinary friends, ' I said in my heart.

Originally I was also jolly and happy to make friends, but because it has been betrayed too often, I finally chose to live alone, making friends as necessary.

Now my life is like a Lion walking alone in the wilderness.
