The Beginning of a Dream

Increasingly Outrageous

"Mas prepared all this?" Ask Audri Fairuz's

"Of course, honey. For you." Fairuz smiled closer to his wife and kissed her cheek. In contrast to his heart that was cursing, "How dare you Sapphira. Watch out!"

.

Night in her husband's room at the hotel. Sapphira had embraced the pillow her husband used. His body was tired from being behind the desk all day. The task given by Fairuz messed up Safira's work today, he had to speed up completing his pending work. No matter how tired he was, he tried not to complain, he was grateful God sent Bagas to help him today.

Fainna ma'al 'usri yusraa. Inna ma'al 'usri yusraa. Then indeed with difficulty there is ease. Indeed, with difficulty there is ease.

Repeatedly the Qur'an letters Al Insirah verses 5-6 with its words as a reminder that the help of Allah will always be near.

This afternoon Reffan informed Sapphira that he would meet someone. So Reffan asked her to sleep without waiting for the videocall as usual.

"Mas I miss." The embrace of the pillow is getting tighter because times like this make the longing for her husband even more arousing. Tired physically and tired of mind. What awaits him tomorrow? I don't know. Safira had already thought of two possibilities that would happen. Fairuz realized after his wife came or Fairuz would be angry with him. He prayed that the first one would happen and Fairuz would never bother him again.

.

"Where are you Safira?" Several times Fairuz said the name Safira. Right now he was in front of Safira's deserted house, Safira's car was nowhere to be seen either.

"Awas you. How dare you run away from me and bring my wife in your place." Fairuz slammed the door of his car, hit the steering wheel, then drove off in a pile of annoyance.

.

Safira was already sitting behind her desk when Fairuz entered her room. He was having breakfast while doing his job early. Safira asked the hotel employees to wrap their breakfast so they could be taken to the office this morning.

"Safira, hurry to my room." Fairuz stood before Sapphira's table.

"Sorry sir, he hasn't been in business hours, less than 20 minutes. I still have breakfast too." Safira answered while standing up.

Fairuz squeezed out his clenched fingers which did not escape Sapphira's sight.

"Enjoy your breakfast! Maybe you won't have lunch. I'm waiting in the room in exactly 18 minutes." Fairuz saw his luxury watch.

Safira's hands clenched on the table. Eyes closed. His body is in the chair. The breakfast menu is still left, although it feels heavy swallowing, he must fill his energy. His body had to be strong to face today.

.

"Sit down!" The first word Fairuz spoke as Sapphira entered his room.

Sapphire sits on the sofa. Fairuz walked up to the sofa and sat on the other side.

Fairuz applauded in front of Sapphira. Safira glanced for a while then chose to stare at the table before her.

"I have to applaud the brave woman in front of me." Fairuz smiles asymmetrical. "You are amazing Safira!"

"Follow me! Get your bags!"

"Where?"

"Replace the dinner you missed."

"No."

"You're refusing?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"Would you like to go or get a bad assessment of your performance?"

Sapphira's hands clenched, her neutrals looking sharply at Fairuz.

"Your eyes are so beautiful Sapphira." Fairuz was even fascinated by the beauty of the pair of eyes that looked at him sharply.

"It was in Safira's house. I treated him well at home. You will feel the beauty of adventure." Fairuz replied shamelessly.

"You're totally busted."

"Haha...This is called seeking many experiences Safira. You're so innocent pretty. Hahaha..." Fairuz's laughter was still deafening to Sapphira.

Safira shook his head. He was sick of talking to the person in front of him. Safira.

"Where are you? We're not done yet." Fairuz stood up and approached Sapphira. "Come down first and get in my car. It's the key." Fairuz handed over the keys to his car. "Nobody will know." Fairuz whispered closer. Safira kept her head away.

"I'll never go with you. Excuse me." Safira will step to the door

"Safira Stop. Don't sell expensive. I'm not messing with my words. What makes you still survive your circumstances. I'll buy you a new apartment and a new car for you that your husband can't give you. The car is not suitable for women as beautiful as you Safira. Your husband sucked Safira let his wife ride in that old-fashioned car."

Sapphira's chest rumbled to hear Fairuz's insults to her husband. Her husband was clearly able to buy her a car but it was Safira who refused her because the car she currently uses is the gift of her parents. Safira wanted to appreciate the gift of her parents.

"Respecting Father of Fairuz. Never insult my husband. Your level is clearly far below that of my husband. You should have thought a thousand times to approach a married woman like me. I invite your wife to remind you that there is a halal who always faithfully accompany you as well to remind you, you have two kids who will hate you for the rest of their lives if they know what you're doing."

"My wife loves Safira a lot but you know she's been down the machine twice. It feels different."

Disgustedly. Sapphira was disgusted to hear Fairuz's words that humbled women as she pleased.

"That's because it gave birth to your child sir. You really don't deserve to say such a thing."

"That's it. Why talk about my wife, I treat her well at home. But I need a woman like you on the outside to stay young and vibrant. How do you want to adventure with me? You won't regret what you got and again I'm very experienced at pleasing women."

"Would never be. Dying is better for me than approaching adultery let alone adultery." Safira had already endured the nausea of hearing the shameless talk of Fairuz.

"The world is so beautiful Sapphira, why are you talking about death. Well apparently you're not tired of working hard. You're not giving up." Fairuz smiled with an eye that could not be separated from Safira.

Sapphira's hands clenched firmly on both sides of her body.

"My secretary's on three days off. You can do all the work. Tasks during her time off, please finish today before the return hour. Yes at least as long as you can complete all the tasks on time I won't send you a bad assessment of your performance and your mutation recommendation. The spirit!" Fairuz smiled sucks.

Safira will step out.

"If you're tired just come to me. You don't have to do all that. Just stay with me."

Safira did not comment on Fairuz's words, he continued to step back to his desk.

"Mother Safira, I was asked by Mr. Fairuz to give this to you." A co-worker handed Safira a pile of maps with a note on it containing his duties.

"Thank you." Safira still smiled at the co-worker who was just carrying out Fairuz's orders.

Safira took her phone. Turn off the sound recording that is still on. There is a notification that appears a message from Bagas.

The virus again. Share with me the task from him, you prepare my part.

There are seven points of duty. Safira wrote two points on the scrap paper and retrieved the related documents.

Bagas to his desk carried an empty map. Safira inserted two maps and scribbled the memo and closed the map and returned it to Bagas.

"Only two are you sure?"

"Yes sir. Thank you for helping me."

"I'll help you again when you're done."

Safira smiled warmly. A smile that once fascinated her but now that smile made her pity.
