Sorry, If I'm Two

Bad news

"Excuse me !" said someone from outside, knocking on the door of Inayah's house.

"Who are you looking for ?" titin asked when he opened the door, a young foreigner who he believed was not his village or the villagers next door.

"I'm looking for Inayah" said the man politely.

"Who are you ?" ask Titin again.

"I, Beni, a colleague of Inayah in Jakarta" said the man who turned out Beni introduced himself.

Titin pondered for a while, he remembered about what Esih said the other day, that Inayah was in a relationship with her boss named Beni.

"Please come in, Beni boy !" said Titin let the boss of his son.

That morning Titin was not feeling well so he was at home, while Inayah went to the garden to replace her work harvesting corn in the fields of people.

Beni turned her gaze to the entire room of that simple house.

"I'm sorry if my house is very small and makes you uncomfortable" Titin said, noting Beni's attitude.

"Ah, not ! it's pretty comfortable, I'm !" said Beni was embarrassed because he was noticed by the old woman.

"Include me, I'm Inayah's mother, if I may know, what business would Beni look for my daughter ?" ask Titin with a serious face.

"Have this week Inayah did not go to work, is Inayah okay ?" beni asked for news of Inayah who was lost in the swallow of the earth, but after finding out the address of Inayah who was in the village from the Inayah cv file, Beni ventured to follow Inayah to his home in the village.

"Does Beni always go to all Beni's boys in the office if they don't go to work, even though their house is so far ?" titin's tone could indeed be, even impressed expressionless, but able to make Beni who is a leader of the big company was hesitant to answer the question of the old woman and her attitude became a little wrong.

"Emh, anu, it's because Inayah's my secretary, so I---"

"What's with the previous secretary son Beni is also treating the same thing like this ?" chase Titin with his question.

"emh, i-" Beni is getting misbehaved and stammered in answering Titin's question.

"Sir Beni !" said Inayah was shocked when she entered the house, there was a boss whose face was tense because of interrogation by her mother.

"Ah, Inayah, thankfully !" he seemed to feel saved by the coming of Inayah at this time, because he really could not answer the question Titin.

"What's up ? It seems like you are very happy to see my arrival,?!" wonder Inayah because the pale face of Beni arrived like back in the bloodstream after seeing himself.

"Can I borrow my mother's daughter to talk for a while ?" beni's permission on Titin.

"Please talk here, I'll just listen won't interfere !" Titin flirted, he did not want any gossip is not good if until there are residents know Beni who is the boss of his son came to the house, especially after Esih spread slander the other day.

"Mom, believe Inayah, we will just chat, we are only talking about work, anyway" Inayah assured Titin.

Inayah takes Beni to the front porch of her house, she is scared and doesn't want her until her mother hears about Liam or about her relationship with Beni.

"What did you come here for ?" ask Inayah to her boss.

"I heard the news that you're having a kidnapping, are you okay ?" beni's eyes looked at the silent body of the woman he loved from top to bottom.

"As you can see I'm fine, thank you for your attention" said Inayah flat.

"You haven't been to work for a week, I'm worried" said Beni.

"I left my resignation letter in the HRD section a week ago" Inayah explained.

"But I didn't give you permission to quit my job" Beni said.

"Sorry sir, I cannot continue my work in the company of my father, I have decided to stay in the village only" said Inayah.

"Sorry sir, don't be like this, we can't be like this, please respect me, I'm married !" inayah firmly brushed off Beni's hand.

"Well, make sure someday you won't beg me to work again at the company !" Beni smiled with mystery.

"Hopefully never will, I don't want to go back to the city" Inayah said confidently.

"Remember, my company door will always be open for you" Beni concluded.

Feeling rejected by Inayah, Beni finally gave up and left Inayah who she could not persuade to return to work with him.

***

A month passed, Inayah began to feel at home and used to return to work odd jobs as a rice field and garden worker in his village.

"Dad....!" call Lilis near Inayah who was drying clothes beside her house that morning.

"Eh, when's it coming ?"inayah welcomed the arrival of her friend.

"Semalem new nyampe here, so early morning I came straight here because my mother said you now live in the village again, why? What's up?" ask Lilis.

"There is nothing, just want to accompany your mother," replied Inayah while storing the bucket of her used wet clothes container earlier.

"What is it because Liam is broke, that's why you left him ?" tanya Lilis hesitated.

"What ? Bankrupt ?" Inayah widened her eyes, she was shocked to hear from her best friend.

"Yes, don't you know ? I heard from the gossip rumors of the employees there who also posted where we used to be, I think you know," said Lilis.

"Aren't you Beni boss willing to help and inject funds into the group ?" inayah gumam.

"If the problem is I don't know, I'm just a regular worker, you should know better because you were once the boss secretary" said Lilis.

"Then what's Liam's fate ?" great-grandson Inayah her eyes looked far away, she thought about the fate of Liam who until now still status as her husband.

"What I know is that Liam now works in a small garment on the outskirts of Jakarta, and Teja group will be taken over by Pak Beni company, because Liam can not pay his company's debt," lang Lilis gave the information.

How painful Inayah heard it, she felt like a wife who really did not know herself, when her husband was in trouble she left him.

"Oh yes, the secretary of Beni's new man who replaced you said his younger brother Liam, but his nature is very far from Liam, if Liam is friendly and kind, Liam, but his sister instead, he was arrogant and very fierce to the laborers," Lilis fought with her upset face.

"Tania, so secretary Beni sir ?" Inayah parrot.

'What's really going on, why do I feel like there's something weird about all this ?" inayah.

"Yes, according to rumors circulating, they also seem to be dating, some employees have caught them making out in their workroom" gossip Lilis.

Inayah increasingly clueless with what happened after for a month he returned to the village, it turns out that many unexpected things happened, Inayah very much wanted to see Liam and see the situation now, he said, accompanying her at a difficult time, but she was afraid that Liam had seen a picture of herself with Beni and Liam hated her.

During this one month he was gone, Liam never tried to find him, so maybe Liam no longer wanted to see him.

"Dad, you're still Liam's wife, right ?" lilis whispered, not wanting Titin to hear the chat, she knew that Titin did not know about her daughter's marriage.

"Hmm" Inayah nodded slowly.

"Meet him, whatever the problems between you are, it should be solved together, not run and dodge like this, whatever your decision will be, at last, you better meet up and talk nice," suggested Lilis.

Inayah just fell silent not daring to answer anything, it is true what his friend said, but does he still have the face and guts to meet Liam after what happened ?
