STORY IN KOSAN MIX ANDRI VERSION

Need A Sweet One

"It's okay. Just think about it, just answer it," said Mr. Joshua before Tisa answered him, then left Tisa because the rain had subsided.

Joshua left his jacket still on Tisa's shoulder.

"God! The jacket!" peekot Tisa's.

I hurriedly called out to him before Tisa was about to chase after Mr. Joshua.

"Can!"

He looked at me who was standing behind him. His face was surprised to see me.

"Oh, Andri! Did you hear that, just now?!"

"What?" I went back, pretending I didn't know.

"Ah, no! Not so!"

I stared at Mr. Joshua's jacket that Tisa was wearing.

"Ah, this jacket was borrowed by Mr. Joshua. But I forgot to return it," Tisa replied without me asking.

I did not answer and just kept looking at him because I was upset by Mr. Joshua's statement just now.

"OK-okay! I ngaku! I was shot by Mr. Joshua!"

"I didn't say anything." I just raised one eyebrow.

"But you're horrified, right?!"

I don't answer it again.

"Don't Joshua wait for my answer through this jacket!" murmured Tisa himself who concluded that when returning the jacket, then he must also give an answer to Mr. Joshua.

"So, what do you want now?" my many.

"I? I just want to go home now! I'm tired, it's cold!"

"Yes, go home first. Think about it later. Come home together!"

Tisa just nodded and followed me who was walking to the parking lot.

All the way, I was silent. Occasionally glanced at Tisa who threw her gaze outside.

_________

I slept on my left side, then back to my right side, looking for a comfortable position to sleep in.

But my eyes can't sleep. It's past midnight.

All night I could not sleep because I thought of Tisa's answer to Joshua.

_________

I woke up when the alarm went off. I'm gonna go take a shower.

Even though it's too early to go to the office, it doesn't hurt to take a shower.

When I came out of the bathroom, I found Tisa standing in front of her room. He's ready in a blue shirt.

"Where are you going to be ready in the morning?" I asked while rubbing the wet hair.

"I'm going to the office!"

"What a morning?" My eyes stared at the plastic bag that was placed on the door because Tisa was tying shoelaces. "Is that Mr. Joshua's jacket?"

Tisa nodded. That means Tisa will return Mr. Joshua's jacket this morning. Which means he will also give an answer to Mr. Joshua!

"Wait a moment! We're together! I'm leaving too!"

I rushed into the room and got ready. I need to know what Tisa's answer is.

I changed clothes as fast as lightning.

"Yuk off!" take me when I get out of the room.

A few minutes on the way to the office.

"That's it, Mr. Joshua's jacket?" I finally broke the silence. But I was stupid to repeat the statement I asked.

"Yes." Yeah."

"If you return the jacket now, that means you have an answer for him?" I looked at Tisa.

Tisa nodded. "Yes." Yeah."

I wonder what Tisa's answer is. But I didn't ask.

After that, silence attacked us again until we reached the office.

The atmosphere of the office is still quiet because it is still morning. There are only a few OBs coming in to clean up.

"You go in the room first. I'm going to Mr. Joshua first" Tisa said as he got out of the car.

I just nodded in answer.

But secretly, I followed Tisa who was walking to the place that the employees used to smoke.

Joshua is not yet here. I immediately hid behind the door. Take a peek at Tisa who was sitting on the chair that was there.

I could only see Mr. Joshua greeting Tisa and sitting next to Tisa.

Then Tisa handed him a plastic bag containing Mr. Joshua's jacket.

After that, I don't know what they're talking about because I can't hear it.

What are they talking about?! Shit!! What is Tisa's answer?!! I can't hear it from here!!

No matter how I try to sharpen my hearing, I still can't hear anything.

Tisa who had just looked down, now looked up to see Mr. Joshua.

Shit man!!! I can't hear Tisa's answer! I hope you reject it Sa!

And the next second, my eyes were round when I saw Mr. Joshua hugging Tisa.

What'sthis?! So Tisa received Mr Joshua?!!

At that moment, Tisa's eyes caught my presence peeking at them.

I'll get out of there and close the door. I find it hard to breathe.

Tisa also liked Joshua.

Ja. Why am I only aware now?! Tisa often had lunch with Joshua. It was clear that he also liked Mr. Joshua!

So this is what heartbroken people feel.

_________

In my study, I was just standing in front of a big glass window. Look out there.

I just stood up and took a long breath.

I looked up when I heard the door open. Tisa's coming in. I immediately turned my head, staring back out there.

"Mm, Ndri, the one you saw just now is-"

"I already know!" cut me. "You don't have to explain."

I've seen enough of him hugged Mr. Joshua. I don't need to hear him show off his new relationship.

That will only make the ears hurt. And not just the ears that hurt.

Today in the room became quieter than usual. I also chose silence.

Only the sound of the keyboard was pressed Tisa. And the sound of the copier when he photocopies something.

Every now and then I glanced at Tisa who was focused on staring at the laptop screen.

I was disappointed with Tisa's reply. But what about again? That was Tisa's decision.

Suddenly Tisa got up and walked to my desk. He handed me some documents.

"Ndri, here are some documents you need to sign."

I just glanced at the document for a moment. "Hm."

Instead of returning to the desk, Tisa still continues to stand in front of my desk.

"You're the thrush of Ndri?"

I looked up when I got that strange question. "No." I stared at the laptop screen in front of me.

"Later after lunch we have a meeting with Mr. Hartono. He wanted to discuss the apartment expansion project that is outside the city" Tisa told the schedule today.

"Hm."

"After that, we have a meeting held at Mr. Bowo's office" he continued.

"Hm."

"Then after the meeting from Mr. Bowo's office, we will stop by the project that is being built nearby. To monitor how far it has progressed."

"Hm."

I kept answering him briefly. I am not in the mood to discuss work.

"And also, you need to double your salary for your new assistant!"

"Hm. Huh uh?! What?!" I was surprised and looked up at Tisa. "Rise salaries?"

Tisa immediately chuckled. "From now on you just answered me 'hm' only. I thought if I asked about the raise, you'd answer me 'hm' too. But it didn't!"

I unconsciously chuckled. But at once my smile disappeared as soon as I remembered him and Mr. Joshua already...

Haaaa. I took a long breath.

"Sa, please make me some tea. Lots of scrolls!"

Tisa. "Tumbens? Usually it's a little sugar."

"I want something sweet!"

"okay! Wait a minute, yes" he said as he exited the room.

In this bitter situation I need a sweet.
