Go up the stairs to his room. The girl had just returned from the Minimarket to buy additional toiletries, as well as buy a wide variety of instant foods.
"Worky huh?" a tall, well-built tomboy girl immediately greeted Sekar, as she reached in front of his room. The tomboyish girl was about to unlock the door of the room that was right next to Sekar's room.
I looked towards the girl. "Lastri?" guess it.
"Eh, finally papasan too," said Lastri excitedly. He already knew about Sekar from Mr. Dirman a few days ago. They introduced each other.
"Two weeks ago I got the third shift, so we never met." Light of Lastri when Sekar asked his whereabouts all this time.
"fast." Sekar. "In that case, rest first, you must be tired." he continued.
"OKAY. Later in the afternoon we have another conversation, huh, Sekar?" The girl's tone sounded cheerful.
"OK." Answer Sekar. Lastri immediately waved her hand and went inside the room.
...***...
In the afternoon, Lastri invited Sekar to come to his room. He felt happy to get acquainted with Sekar who incidentally his coworkers, even though the position and building where they worked were different.
Just standing in the doorway of Lastri's room. He refrained from shaking his head when he saw the scene in the girl's room. The room does not reflect a girl's room. A few piles of clothes that have not been ironed and folded are just like that on the mattress. Some dirty dishes were also seen piling up in his small kitchen. Not to mention, the already full basket of dirty clothes, lying sweetly beside the television table.
"Oh, sorry, the room is dirty. I never had time to clean my room. I wear laundry once a week. I hope you don't mind being here" said Lastri, scratching the back of his neck, "or, are we going to your room? I'm afraid you're uncomfortable." Reciprocity.
"It's okay, I get it." Just sit on the plastic bench that Lastri provided. He really understands how tough it is to work as a Security, especially Lastri is a woman.
The smell of male perfume instantly burst forth shortly after Sekar sat down, making him constantly look around the room Lastri.
"Don't get me wrong, Sekar, I like men's perfume better than women." Lastri said suddenly, as if knowing what Sekar was thinking.
Smile in shame, then nod.
They enjoy the cold juice Lastri makes, while chatting about the origin of each.
Lastri was from Bandung City. It migrated to Jakarta 3 years ago, after graduating from Vocational High School. The eldest of four brothers, inevitably, had to bury his desire to go to college, to help the school costs of his three younger siblings. The income of the Father who is a Retired Teacher is certainly not enough to meet all the needs of his family life.
Hearing the story of Lastri, made Sekar feel like he had a friend. They both work together to connect their lives and make their families happy.
They also spoke at length about the Umbara Corporation. Lastri who had worked for three years immediately told all about Umbara Corporation to Sekar in detail. Starting from, how the history of the Company stands, to the attitude of their previous Leaders.
"If the rich people mostly have arrogant and arrogant nature, but not so with the Umbara family. Therefore, many employees who work at their company." Lastri said at length.
"Although Mr. Arion has only led the Company biennially, but he has been able to bring the Company to the highest peak. He is a talented man and also handsome." Praise Lastri later. The girl sniggered flirtatiously at the end of her sentence.
"He's not married?" tanya Sekar was curious.
Lastri sniffed his shoulder and said, "said some employees there, there was indeed a woman who diligently visited him in the Office. But they never saw the affection of the two. Don't hold hands, walk together never. Mr. Arion always let the woman walk three steps first."
"Privacy is possible."
"It can be." Answer Lastri cuek.
"You alone, how many times have you met Mr. Arion?" ask Lastri. "If I, during my move to building C, would rarely have seen him, if it had not been for his visit there." Further.
Just laughing. Because, for more than two weeks working there, he has not seen the face of their CEO directly.
"That's right!" pekik Lastri after hearing Sekar's confession. The girl laughed out loud.
"You are too focused on work, even though Mr. Arion's face can make you unable to sleep, you know," said Lastri, intending to tease Sekar.
Smiling with shame. The girl's mind even glared at a man who lately always accompanied his work break. Not only that, almost every night they will exchange messages or chat over the phone.
For Sekar, the figure of the man who is more able to make himself difficult to sleep, than the CEO he has never met.
Suddenly Sekar so missed the figure of Mas Rion. It had been three days that they had not met, because the man was being given the task of exiting the City.
Seeing Sekar who suddenly smiled to himself, made Lastri pat him on the shoulder a bit hard.
Sekar's cheeks are red. "Nobody." His kill.
Lastri smiled strangely. Although from the outside he looks very tomboyish, but still he is a girl who has a high level of sensitivity.
Lastri urged Sekar to tell a story. Want to not, just give up. The girl recounted her encounter with an employee of the man without mentioning his identity.
"Aiihh, how brave that guy is." Lastri's comments after hearing Sekar's story. "Then, other than having lunch together and contacting each other, what else? Did he take you out of the house?" ask Lastri curiously.
Sekar. The man had indeed asked for his boarding address, but it was probably just a pleasantries.
A look of disappointment emanated from Sekar's face. Knowing that, Lastri gave him encouraging words, "hopefully your relationship with the Man ends well, so you can bring two good news to the hometown, namely: Work and Mate."
They ended the conversation with laughter.
He returned to his room at 9 p.m. He intends to go straight to sleep, so that tomorrow morning does not arrive late at work.
His eyes were aghast when he found 11 missed calls from Arion. He did not intentionally bring his cellphone when he went to Lastri's room.
Drrt.. Drrt..
The phone vibrated again. Arion called him again.
"Assynolt,"
"Wa'alaikumsalam's chat. Why just lifted? You're making me worry." Screaming grimacing. Arion's voice sounded a little annoyed.
"Sorry, Mom, I just got back to my room. It was nice chatting with a friend next to my room." Just give an excuse.
Arion sounded out exhaling. "Eat already?" ask the man later.
"Yet. I'm gonna go to bed."
"Eat first, come on,"
Sekar frowned. "Come?"
"Yes, let's go down, I've been waiting under for almost half an hour. Put on your jacket, it's cold. I'll wait here in five minutes." After saying so, Arion immediately hung up his phone without waiting for a response from Sekar.
Sekar termangu for a moment. The man said he would be home in two days. Then why was he suddenly in front of his hostel?
Not wanting to make Arion wait any longer, the girl immediately darted into the bathroom to change clothes. Not to forget, he also wore thin powder and perfume before finally coming out of the room.
Sekar was surprised to find Arion really there. The man leaned against his duck motorbike alone, while occasionally patting his hands and feet that began to be infested by mosquitoes.
"Mas," said Sekar.
Arion stood up straight when he heard the voice of Sekar.
"I'm sorry, Mom, so wait a long time for the mosquito to bite." Sekar said no good. "Misone didn't tell me!" keep the girl. His tone changed.
Arion laughed a little. "So, are you sorry for making me wait or upset that I didn't tell you?"
"Both." Answer Sekar quickly.
Arion laughed again.
"Yes, come on, let's get something to eat" Arion said, giving Sekar a Hello Kitty-patterned helmet.
"I'm sorry, if the bike is not comfortable," said Arion after Sekar riding behind him.
"It's so much better than what my father used to be." Smile now. His eyes suddenly widened, as Arion took both of Sekar's hands and wrapped them around the man's waist.
He immediately drove his motorbike out of the Sekar boarding alley.
