Real Or Fake

BROF #42

In a hurry Gladys climbed the ojol that had been in his message.

He held tightly to his office bag which contained the amount of money he would give Lina.

After a 1-hour drive Gladys has arrived at his place of appointment with Lina, House cafe.

As the name implies this cafe is like a house and when entering the visitors will be welcomed with photos of the visitors displayed on the cafe wall as we enter the house of someone who is on the wall in the decorate with photos of the owner.

Gladys searches for Lina's whereabouts, but she doesn't find it. Gladys decided to look for an empty table and wait for Lina to come.

One of the servants approached Gladys to clear Gladys' order.

Gladys actually wanted to order coffee not because he liked the drink but he wanted the sleepy and tired feeling of keeping Mikael overnight to go away. Gladys did not like it.

"I ordered milk chocolate angel 1." Gladys is friendly.

"Is there anything else, ma'am?" Ask the cafe waiter.

"For now, that's all." Answer Gladys.

"good. Wait for me, Mom." Said the cafe waiter and left Gladys.

Not waiting for long for his order to come, he blew on his warm chocolate milk and then sipped it.

Gladys looked at the entrance of the cafe, Lina just got out of the car and stepped into the cafe in her trademark style like an official mother and approached Gladys.

"Where's the money?" Lina asked while taking off her sunglasses.

"Tante doesn't want to sit down first, let me call the waiter." Gladys said politely.

"No need. I have a lot of business." Lina flat said.

Gladys took out a thick brown envelope from inside her bag and gave it to Lina straight away.

"It turns out you can count on enough." Lina then left Gladys.

"Bas stupid." Lina muttered and then smiled cynically.

The distance between the house cafe and the office was very close, Gladys decided to walk.

Arriving at Gladys' office, she headed straight to the toilet to fix her makeup and appearance.

After Gladys finished heading to the elevator, he pressed the elevator side button to head to the 25th floor.

Elevator door opens.

"Where have you been?" Teddy asked when he saw Gladys.

"I had business." Gladys replied as he pulled out Mikael's timetable to postpone Mikael's schedule today.

The door in front of them opened.

"You're in now." Mikael's orders then closed the door again.

"Why is Mika in the office?" Gladys asked Teddy, surprised to see Mikael coming to the office. Without waiting for Teddy's answer, Gladys walks into the CEO's room.

CEO Room

"Sir Mika why go to the office? I told Teddy to take Kak Mika to Kak Mika's apartment." Gladys approaches Mikael at his desk.

"I feel better." Answer Mikael flat. "Where were you from? You promised to wait for me outside." Ask Mikael who is standing from his chair.

"So I had a business so I didn't wait for Sister Mika to come out of the ward." Answer Gladys.

"What business? Until you break your promise." Ask Mikael furious.

"Personal business. Anyway I just promised to wait for Mika's sister in the laur alone and there was already Teddy who took care of Mika's sister."

Mikael smiled cynically. "Personal business? I'm your boyfriend." Mikael snapped which made Gladys surprised.

"Yes you are my boyfriend, girlfriend on paper. Partially in the agreement that Mika made it was written not to interfere in each other's personal affairs. Why is Mika's sister now as good as..."

"Stop. I don't like to hear it." Mikael raised his voice. Her heart ached hearing Gladys say that their relationship was only on paper.

"But that's the truth." Said Gladys who was trying to hold back his anger.

Mikael approached Gladys and he quickly landed his lips on Gladys' lips to make the woman stop talking about their relationship. Her heart was completely aching to hear those words coming out of Gladys' tiny lips.

Gladys who received Mikael's kiss only fell silent, she widened her eyes as if her eye seeds were about to come out of place so shocked.

Mikael takes his kiss off Gladys' lips and is shocked by what he did to Gladys.

"My gladys ..."

Without hearing Mikael's words, Gladys left Mikael.

He ran out into the elevator with tears running down his cheeks. He doesn't care about Teddy and Mira, who keep calling him.

In the elevator he kept imagining Mikael kissing his lips.

He wanted to go home but he also did not want people to see him in this state. Gladys decided to head to the rooftop to calm his mind.

Rooftop office

Gladys sat on a stone chair near the gazebo.

"What's wrong with you Gladys? Why are you just silent. Why didn't you push her when she kissed you earlier?" Gladys asked him.

Have I cheated on Leon? Her thought.

Suddenly his head hurt, his vision blurred. He felt himself floating.

"Gladys." Call someone.

Gladys only saw it faintly and instantly everything felt dark, his body collapsing.

CEO Room

"Where is Gladys doctor? He's doing all right? why isn't she aware Doc?" Mikael asked impatiently.

Half-conscious Gladys heard the voice of someone who sounded panicked.

Gladys opened his eyes and looked around the space, he found Mikael who was holding his palm and looked towards him with a panicked expression.

"Doctor Gladys is conscious." Mikael.

"Look at him he's conscious. Miss Gladys just needs a break and here's the prescription. So you take it easy, Mr. Mikael." Said the doctor while giving a sheet of paper to Gilang.

"Miss Gladys may you recover quickly." The doctor told Gladys.

"See Doc thanks." Said Gladys who felt his head was still heavy.

"Let's take my docks." Teddy.

Gladys tried to get up but Mikael held him back.

"You don't have to get up yet, you just rest." Mikael said slowly and then rubbed gently on Gladys.

"How can I be in Mika's room?" Ask Gladys.

"Delay call me said you passed out on the rooftop. So I'm driving you here." Mikael answered flatly and then took off his hand on Gladys.

The Flashback

Crossed out of the elevator, she stepped into the CEO's room but her steps came to a halt when she saw Gladys was not at her desk. He only saw Teddy and Mira talking.

"Gladys where's Ted?" Ask Gilang.

"Just Gladys is gone. Looks like he had a fight with Mr. Mika, he came out of the CEO's room in tears." Answer Teddy.

"Where do you know him?" Ask again.

"It looks like he's upstairs Mr. Gilang." Answer Mira.

Is he on the rooftop? Thought Gilang.

"Well, that's it. Get it, get it." Said Gilang and then went back into the elevator.

He pressed a button that read the number 28 next to the elevator door.

Upon arriving, he headed straight to the rooftop.

"Gladys." Call Gilang.

How surprised Gilang saw Gladys pale face and immediately Gladys body collapsed. Gladys swiftly held Gladys body to avoid falling to the floor.

When he wanted to take Gladys to the hospital. Suddenly the phone in his pants pocket sounded.

Gilang took out the hp and shifted the green button on its hp screen.

"Hello Teddy."

"Sir Gilang has found Gladys? Mika sir told me to find out where she is." Teddy.

"He fainted on the rooftop."

Phone calls are disconnected.
