The number of patients exposed to the pandemic is decreasing, and eventually the PSBB was revoked. Busy days in the capital also returned as usual. Similarly, in every office building that has begun to carry out offline activities again.
“Many things happen during PSBB. But, I hope we remain solid, so as to carry out our obligations professionally. So today's meeting, please return to their respective posts. Thank you.” said Yudhis ended the morning meeting on the first day of offline.
Indeed, not all employees work in the office today, because some have been assigned to their respective homes to work from there. Especially for these employees, meetings are also broadcast through online meeting applications. So, they do not have to bother coming to the office.
“Hm? How can anything change, what is it?” mitha said the last one out of the room after Yudhis.
“Do not have a crush! I took.” Yudhis told his co-worker.
“Sorry yes, Sir. I'm also taken. Even earlier than you.”
An annoyed Mitha was charged with rolling her eyeballs. Folding his arms together, he walked beside Yudhis,
“Eh, yes. How's Rake doing? I haven't had a long relationship with him.”
Rake is Mitha's husband who was also a friend of Yudhis when he was in college. The last time Yudhis heard about him was a few months ago, he was being assigned to Saudi Arabia. But, after that, there was no news of him.
“Ng... hehehe, actually lo honeymoon he came home. Just a few days, keep coming home. He was so excited, not invited at lo.” wedding replied Mitha.
“Say to him, ‘entire who has not been in contact for months.’ so.”
“Ready, Boss. But there he was busy, anyway. His wife's phone can only be two days and only one hour.” complained Mitha.
“According to mourn. I hope I didn't.”
“Iya, deh... the newlyweds!” sulang Mitha's.
The woman hastened her steps before Yudhis, then continued to say, “From my snobbing, I turned me back. Bye!”
Yudhis did not reply. What is there to deny from Mitha's statement? She does enjoy bragging about her marital status even though it is only contractual. Because, even though he was married to Nawang, the days of Yudhis were always exciting with him.
Yudhis shrugged his shoulders at a glance, then continued on his way to his room. During the trip, as usual the employees greeted him politely and Yudhis greeted them back as if.
But, there was something different in his office now. The journey felt more light and it felt like he could return the greetings of the employees more sincerely.
the reason is only one thing. That is, because Marcel is no longer in his office. With his absence, it means that nothing will bother him just to check the documents face-to-face. Though all that can be done just by sending the document to the office email. However, Marcel was always wasting paper printing the documents and bringing them to his room.
As a human being who lives in the modern era and feels young, of course such a way is very ancient and ineffective. But, for Marcel, it was time to steal the opportunity to approach Yudhis.
One other thing that Yudhis was most grateful for after Marcel was not in his office was that now he could drink anything more calmly. He no longer needs to worry about drinking from the general pantry in his office, for fear that the water has been mixed with something.
The relief was also realized by the employees in the secretariat and HR department closest to the room. Only, they suspected that this was the effect of her marriage to Nawang.
As soon as he entered his room, Yudhis took a deep breath and let him out slowly. He was really relieved, as everything went according to his plan.
But unfortunately, his relief had to turn into disappointment, due to a message from Nawang.
[Dhis. Sorry, I can't bring you lunch. My menstrual pain is severe.]
At times like this, as a husband, of course, he should not be angry. He should have given more attention. Sometimes Nawang menstrual pain is quite severe. Fortunately, that doesn't always happen. But, when it happened, the girl was unable to move from her bed.
Shortly after, Nawang replied with a sticker with a picture of a rabbit with the words ‘OK’.
Be Yudhis forced to have lunch outside today. These were the moments he was looking forward to. For Yudhis, Nawang's cuisine is second to none and unmatched even by chefs from michelin restaurants. Moreover, he could also meet Nawang during the day while showing off his affection.
Recalling that he could not do so today, Yudhis was suddenly discouraged. Work also feels forced. Until the day he did not expect arrived.
…
The NTMall office actually provides a canteen for its employees. For the high-ranking members are also provided. However, most who are in the top position prefer to bring supplies or eat outside.
Just like Yudhis is doing now. He was at the cafe Setubruk, a famous cafe franchise from Austria which one of its branches is directly opposite the NTMall building.
“I order Iced Americano the Grande and Sandwich stuffed bacon with truffle sauce, the sauce is not too much.” message Yudhis.
“Take out or eat here?”
“Take out only.”
At lunchtime, the cafe is always crowded with visitors and he does not want to jostle. Pandemics are still rampant even though PSBB is over. He was worried he would bring the virus home.
At first, he did not want to buy it himself. But, connect him to, so to change the atmosphere he came to this cafe himself.
“Yudhis?”
A man's voice greeted from behind him. Yudhis looked at the source of the voice to find out who the owner of the voice was. However, instantly his face turned wry when he found out.
“Geh! Aaron.... why is this bule here?” bawah Yudhis was upset.
Fortunately, his face was covered with a black mask. He was also forced to wear a mask.
“You alone?” the blond-haired man asked so that their distance was not too far away.
“As you can see.” replied Yudhis.
Aaron was not surprised by the tone of Yudhis's speech that was always thin on him. From the beginning, the man was always so to him. Allegedly, Yudhis was so, feeling jealous of his closeness to Yudhis wife. Though Aaron purely want to be friends only and have no other intentions.
“It’s been awhile. Though our house is close together, but after in the super market at that time we never met again.”
Yudhis replied, “We moved to different place for some reasons. Maybe we won't see each other again forever.”
“Pfft.” Aaron was almost blown up, because he felt funny with the jealous behavior of Yudhis.
“I'm sure we will meet more often.” said Aaron after successfully holding back his laughter.
Continue, “Because, starting next week I will be working in the building next to NTMall.”
‘JLEGERRRR!’
I don't know what sin Yudhis had committed, until his misfortune piled up on a day he thought was a happy day. The time he also had to move offices so as not to meet the Caucasian who he had considered as his rival?
