Safa turned her head towards the window. The roar was sour, a mixture of shame and annoyance. Safa tugged at her wet hand in Edzar's. But as he had already failed to do so because Edzar grasped it too tightly.
I don't know what Edzar is doing. Since the incident on the shelf he's getting sweeter. Safa was so scared that this was just a dream. Edzar who was too hard to reach suddenly said dear.
God, is this real?
Could Safa have begun to hallucinate?
Safa glanced at the link of their hand that was on Ezdar's lap. Sometimes the man kissed and inhaled it to make Safa goosebumps.
Edzar never took it off at the beginning of the journey, only when his hand had to pull the lever, then Edzar would break the link. It was like reluctance, and after that Safa's hand will be grabbed back on the lap.
Edzar really didn't let Safa off. And that makes Safa a little frustrating. How not, want to scratch the itchy just hard. It cannot be reached by the left hand.
"Om the real nyetir. Is it hard to use one hand?" Safa still sat on Edzar.
"No."
"I don't want to die yet."
Edzar's smile rose as Safa's subtle strokes felt on the back of her hand. "You just calm down. I'm quite an expert at driving."
"After all, I don't intend to lose you." Edzar turned his head just as his car stopped at a red light. The netting shines gently on Safa.
Ih, what the fuck, anyway? Where did Edzar learn from, huh?
For a moment they stared, before then Safa's phone shook inside the bag. Safa forced Edzar to let go of his hand, which the man granted with a heavy heart.
Bima's name floated above the screen. Safa immediately shifted the green button to lift it. Although he does not like Bima, but they are colleagues in the company.
"Hello, Mr Bima?"
Without Safa knowing Edzar's countenance changed beside her.
"Oh? Ja. Here I am on the way to the office. Mr. Bima just keep the file on my desk. Or it could also be given to Mr. Anjas, later I check."
"Okay, thank you."
Safa pulled her phone down from her ear and fiddled with it for a while. Edzar couldn't bear to not ask. "Who?"
"Manager," Safa answered briefly.
"Who?"
Safa's forehead wrinkled, her eyes twinkling in annoyance. "Om not listening, huh? I said manager!"
"His name?"
"I'm sure Om isn't deaf. I don't need to answer, do I?" ketus Safa refocused on her phone.
Edzar let out a faint sigh, "You want to go back to the office?"
"Yes." Yeah."
"Oh, okay."
Edzar's car stopped in front of the lobby. Safa asked to be sent down at the gate. But the man's stubbornness is hard to resist. Maybe Edzar is used to acting as he pleases.
Safa renounces the intention to go down when Edzar holds her hand. His eyebrows raised asking.
"I'll be back" said Edzar.
It's not a question, but something that's been decided.
Safa's raut turned lazy. "Not to." He again intended to open the door but unexpectedly Edzar pressed the automatic key.
Damn it, what do you want, anyway!
"Open!"
"I'll come home to pick it up."
"Open, no!"
"I'll come home to pick it up."
Is he a robot? You can talk in the same sentence as that.
Edzar's smile came back. Although Safa had seen him several times, she was not used to this change at all. Safa thinks Edzar was possessed by a romantic isekai soul, so to speak.
"Smart girl" said Edzar while rubbing Safa's hair.
The owner was silent with a flat face. He was really tired, and hoped that Edzar would unlock it soon so that Safa could get out.
......................
Safa just finished her last job. His body wriggling stretched the stiff muscles. It looks like by the end of this week Safa will have to do a spa and massage to relax the body. Too long sitting makes his waist ache and sore.
Safa tidied up a little of her desk, then took the bag to check the phone for a bit. There was a message from the father saying that he had arrived in Bandung.
This morning we got a call from the branch. He said Mr. Halim should review the project there. Hence today Safa is replacing the meeting.
What an exhausting day.
And now comes another nuisance that adds weight to his day. Bima Laksana stands in the doorway with her arms crossed. His playboy face looked at Safa with the slanted lips. Safa growled in her heart, seeing that her shadow alone had already irritated her.
"Wanna go home?" bima asked with her head down.
Safa rolled her eyes puffed. Why does God not give him time?
They went down to the lobby. Some employees also started to come home. Safa did not respond much when Bima Laksana spoke this. Telling a lot of things that Safa actually does not understand.
"Later tonight will, yes, dinner with me?"
Safa was about to answer when Bima came back. "Don't tell me there's family business. Cliches. I have also asked Mr. Halim and you do not have any promises. Besides, he's in Bandung, right?"
If it's like this, Safa can't throw excuses. Bima went through it like that. It's annoying. Safa's only option was to reject it outright.
"I can't. Sorry."
"Come on, I know a good restaurant here. And the food was good, too."
"Sir Bima, I am not a new person if you forget. I also know which restaurants are good here."
"So you refused?"
"Hm."
"Dearly enough. I want to show you something."
Safa rolled her eyes at a glance. Half did not care what Bima said. Before the man came back. "It's about Dava."
Sontak Safa turned her head quickly to hear the name of her brother mentioned. Safa forgot, they were indeed quite familiar.
"What?"
"If you're curious, let's have dinner" he said triumphantly.
And Safa could not help but curse inwardly. You dumb-ass lizard! Is Bima playing him?
Safa was silent for a moment. Trying to think if he should accept Bima's invitation. But, the man brought up Dava's problem. Maybe this time it was serious.
"alright. I'll consider."
Bima smiled obliquely, "Okay, I wait for the good news."
"Want me to drive home?" tanyanya.
"Tid-d"
"no need. Safa came home with me."
Safa jumped in place. Edzar suddenly appeared and just stood beside him. It turned out that he was serious when he said he wanted to pick her up. In fact, Safa planned to go home first before the man came.
Bima raised an eyebrow staring at the two in turn. Raut guessed he couldn't hide. This is the first time Bima saw Safa being picked up by someone other than the driver. Looking at the appearance of the man before him, it was clear he was not the errand boy on the shuttle duty.
His head nodded, "Alright. Then I'll go first."
"Oh, yes, Safa. If you agree, I'll pick you up."
Is this world pick-up day?
Safa wanted to immerse herself to the bottom of the earth. Please, keep these people out of the vicinity....
