SUBSTITUTE LOVE

Chapter 3

"I told him to come see me Sarah.?" Bima answered and pulled Andini's hand away from Sarah. Sarah who was upset stomped her feet and looked at everyone who saw her.

"What look-look..? You want me to fire..?" Shouted Sarah to another employee. Sarah went back into her room and dropped her body on her seat.

"Fuckin' woman.! I can't believe he's in Bima's arms and looks like he's enjoying it. I can't let this happen." Sarah said annoyedly and threw her shoes away.

In the room of Bima, Andini sat on a sofa. Bima was still busy with her computer and stared at Andini occasionally from her desk.

"I came looking for work instead of coming to see you all day." Andini muttered in her heart because since her arrival Bima sat at her work desk without speaking or telling her though.

"You bored?" Ask Bima from her desk.

"Eh no sir." Andini replied lying.

Bima stood up from her seat and approached Andini who was sitting on the sofa.

"What was your last education?" Ask Bima who has been sitting leaning her body.

"Bachelor of Accounting." Andini answered, still bowing her head.

"What do you want to work in here?" Ask Bima back.

"So Cleaning Service is okay, too." Andini.

Bima immediately turned her face and laughed a little at Andini's words.

"You're unique. What's yourname?"

"Andini, commonly called Dini."

"Beautiful name, just like the man." Bima said but she did not see Andini again. Andini became misbehaved, and since then actually he had misbehaved in front of Bima.

"From tomorrow come to work, wear neat clothes and wear simple makeup when necessary." Bima said then she stood up again and stepped onto her desk.

"Sorry sir, can I ask for half my salary early?"

"This oath is the most shameful thing in my life." Andini murmured in her heart.

"How much do you need?" Bima Say.

"Sorry sir, I've been sassy, my money's not enough to find a new place to live, and I'm-"

"This is enough.?" Bima gave a hundred thousand denomination in his hand.

"Sir is mostly." Andini looks shocked.

"If you are still lacking, do not hesitate to ask me." Bima Say.

"Thank you, this is more than enough sir. I'm going home, Bima."

"Don't forget tomorrow comes early."

"Good sir." Andini answered while lowering her head and leaving Bima.

Outside the room Sarah passed by Andini and looked sharply at him. Andini continued walking and ignored Sarah who was looking cynically at him.

Inside the taxi Andini kept thinking about Bima. He recalled his second encounter with Bima as it felt like his heart was beating faster than usual.

"Wait..! What job.? Jeez why can I forget to ask what I work as.? Hopefully he doesn't mess around." said Andini again afraid.

Until in front of the inn Andini check out of the inn and look for a new residence that is not too far from where he works so that later reduce the cost of travel. Andini set her finances as much as possible to be fulfilled at least one month ahead and set aside for savings to return home.

His parents called him yesterday and asked him how he was doing. Andini lied and said she was doing well and getting a good job. Actually he was afraid of lying to his parents but one side he did not want his parents to feel anxious about his situation here.

In the morning, I woke up faster than usual. Actually he wanted to go back to sleep because his body was too tired after finding a new place to live and fill the furniture with potluck, the important thing is that there are cookware and small beds in his contract.

Andini went straight into the bathroom. After preparing Andini polished her face with a simple little decoration.

"It looks natural." Andini said praising her own face in front of the mirror.
