For a moment there was only silence between the two of them. The woman with the dark blue blouse combined with the black pants just smiled looking at Riani.
While Riani smiled awkwardly. He was worried about the woman's gaze.
"Fella" he said.
"W-who?" riani asked, asking him to repeat his words.
"Fel-la." He said more slowly, though the voice remained soft.
"Fella?" Riani. "Your name is Fella?"
The woman named Fella nodded thinly, she smiled.
Likewise with Riani, even though she felt there was something strange with her co-worker. "Let's get out, our first day's work should be upbeat, Fel!"
Riani chuckled trying to melt her atmosphere. He passed away leaving Fella who might soon follow him.
Today the work is quite a lot because there are goods coming. Riani along with other employees together tidied up the items, pinned the price, and stored it in stock.
Riani looked towards the wall clock. "Five minutes to rest." He smiles.
The employee room does not have good lighting, there is only one lamp in the room measuring about six square meters. Sunlight also did not enter this room.
Riani sat her body on one of the mats. He picked up a smartphone and there was a message he got.
Sella: How is your kingdom, Ri?
The short message managed to make Riani smile. His little friend until now is still good and has never changed a bit.
"Seru, I got acquainted with an old employee who. They are Difki, Tri, and Nindira. While the new employee named Fella." Riani spoke softly, she sent out a voice message.
Sella: New employee?
Riani: Yes, I was acquainted with him but I don't know where he is now. Already yes, I want to rest first, was quite tired.
Turning from the smartphone in his hand, Riani looked around.
The other employees fell asleep, either soundly or just closed their eyes.
Riani decided to go to sleep, she also felt tired with the work from this morning that came to no end.
Unlike other employees who can even fall asleep until sounding snoring, Riani can never sleep.
He decided to wake up again, checking his smartphone.
Sella no longer answered her message, but there were two messages she had not read.
Scrolling down, Riani found an alumni group with one message there. The short message contained a link about an online class and Riani simply ignored it.
The screen scrolls back down and he finds a message from Gendhis. Some time ago he had indeed received a message from Gendhis asking whether there were still empty boarding rooms or not.
Gendhis: Riani, I'm Gendhis. You still save my number, right? Can I ask you for help, right?
The message was sent on the fifth of October. And there were two more messages sent on the ninth of the afternoon.
Genthis: Riani, sorry, but I don't know who to say. I was afraid to talk to Mr. Abdul, I never had a chance to talk to Sella, she looked indifferent to the boarding boy. Here I only know you, Ri, sorry but I want to ask you for help. I'm pregnant, Ri, four months with my boyfriend and he doesn't want responsibility. I don't know what to do now, Ri.
The next message was sent after thirty minutes.
Gendhis: I took the medicine and my fetus came out, it hurt a lot, Ri. When I saw that lump of blood, I immediately felt sorry, Ri. I don't know what else to do. If later I do something crazy, please open the ceramics near the closet yes, I buried my fetus there. Please bury him properly, he's my son. I don't know what will happen in the next second. Please open my message, Ri, I have no one here but you. I'm sorry to bother you, Ri, but please don't message me. I need you."
Riani's body trembled, her heart beating faster. He did not even feel there was a power in his hand that could make the smartphone continue to be in his grasp.
"Ge-Gendhis, ja-so you mean i-this?"
Instantly his mind glared to a few days ago when Gendhis came to him in a dream and kept saying open.
Riani was silent for a moment.
"Ri, what's wrong with you?"
Riani turned her head, she found Nindira who had been sitting on the mat that had become her bed.
"Ira, are you awake?"
"Yes, I want to eat, Ri." He moved and approached the long table with the stove and cooking utensils on it. "Don't daydream, Ri, try not to be empty wherever you are."
Riani nodded, she pleaded guilty. "Yes, sorry."
Time shows at one noon, meaning that the break is over and must return to work.
"Duh, I haven't told Sella anymore about Gendhis's house." He wants to take the smartphone that is stored back in the bag.
"Ri, let's hunt, it's late to enter the table."
"Em, ta-but ...." Riani noticed her locker that was still locked. But he had to leave the locker because he had to go back to work at that time.
Throughout the rest of the time working today, Riani was unfocused. He kept thinking of Gendhis, now he haunts Riani's mind.
"Why?"
A voice surprised Riani.
"Eh, Fel. No, not papa. Where have you been, how have I not seen you?"
Fella smiled, just smiled.
A song was heard on the back, softly.
"I'm going back to work."
"But-"
Riani had not yet finished her sentence, Fella had already walked away. He headed towards the employee toilet and then disappeared there.
"Why go to the toilet?" lirih Riani was confused.
"Ri, who are you talking to?"
"Sama Fella," Riani replied as she pointed towards the toilet.
"Fella? I know there's no one here called Fella."
"Well, I just met this morning. He's a new employee, just as rich as I am."
Nindira nodded her head. "Oh." He muttered. "But I didn't see him take a break."
"me too. I don't know, uh, maybe he's out."
"Can be. But there are two employees who are accepted, right? Isn't it just one and it's you?"
Riani chuckles. "It was just me doing the hell that got the most out of so many people on the list."
"Ih, really, Ri. Boss actually only found one person."
"What time?"
Nindira nodded confidently. "I was confused as to why you said he was a new employee."
"But yes, he's a new employee just as rich as me." Riani was astonished. "There might be two matching the same boss criteria times, so grab me and him."
"Maybe."
Riani walked alone towards the employee room. Tri and Nindira had already left, while Difki was still tidying up the unfinished men's pants he was displaying.
"Fella!" riani shouted, calling out to the woman with the dark blue blouse. "Fel, what are you actually working on? You're a new employee too, aren't you rich? How does anyone not know you, Fel? You don't like to meet new people, do you?"
