The Charm Behind the Mist

Bickering.

~Happy Reading~

Seeing who was coming and reprimanding them, Ichad stood up and pulled his girlfriend's hand away from Akri, Carren and Rosna with a hardened jaw. He was shocked and completely ashamed of his three comrades.

"What are you doing here?" Ichad asked, after being in a rather quiet place and away from the restaurant. He did not expect to meet his girlfriend, because the office where he worked was a bit far from this area. He sent a message, he's going to work.

"You who haven't answered my question, ask me back. What are you doing here? He said he was going to work, having fun here with other women." Ichad's girlfriend did not lower her emotions and voice. He had seen Ichad and his colleagues while walking into the restaurant from the restaurant where he was eating.

Hearing the words of his girlfriend, Ichad who is already emotional, level up his emotions. "Are you not working too? Did you never take a lunch break? You said lunch with the girls? Am I just having lunch with the girls?" Ichad asks in a row seeing his girlfriend who has accused him unilaterally.

"They are my colleagues. You've humiliated me in front of a coworker all this time, calling me big brother. You mean that name to me? Besides brothers, they respect me." Ichad said all of that with fury and anger that had already overflowed.

"Not many reasons. Already caught wet, but still want to dodge. Dating, but telling a co-worker. You're eating in pairs, aren't you?" Ichad's girlfriend remains adamant and accusatory. That leaves Ichad out of patience.

"For so long, I thought you could support my work so thought about dating you seriously. Turns out you're just a shallow-minded woman. It's better for us to work as coolies than for you to work in the office, but your mind is lower than the everyday people who struggle with mud in the fields." Said Ichad, while approaching his face to his girlfriend with overflowing anger.

"You who work erratically, but the song is like a person who makes money by eating at a restaurant. What do you want to show that woman? Are you from a good family or have a good job? Can only decorate, but stylish like an office person." Ichad's girlfriend did not back down, even more rude and contemptuous.

"Thank you, God. You showed me your true character before I made up my mind. Please find an office man, whose work is uncertain. Maybe he can accept your behavior that doesn't know this ethic."

"I am the coolie, disgusted to see a woman who does not know manners. Wreaking out anger out of place. This is not blind jealousy, but blind eyes and blind heart." Ichad vents anger and disappointment towards the person who will be proposed as his future wife.

With a red face holding in anger and wringing jaws, Ichad turned and walked away leaving his girlfriend who was about to reply.

"Ichads...Richard..." Her boyfriend shouts emotion, as Ichad has left her. He runs after Ichad who is walking quickly to the restaurant, meeting his colleagues.

Upon seeing Ichad's unkind face, Akri, Carren and Rosna did not ask or comment. Akri simply rubbed the back of Ichad who had sat back down to calm him down. Carren and Rosna drank their juice slowly, without even looking at Ichad. They were very anxious to see Ichad's stiff and reddened face.

"You're leaving me? Unemployed man who does not know is lucky. Does she work in an office like me? Until you leave me?" Ichad's girlfriend who returned to the restaurant after Ichad. Hearing what Ichad's girlfriend said, Carren looked at her unblinkingly. Ichad was silent, not bullying him because he was controlling his emotions by clenching his hands over his thighs.

"Sister. I'm not meddling in Brother two's business, yeah. But you have to see a place if you want to make a fuss. It's a public place and Sister Ichad is like our brother, so if you speak politely to him. Big brother isn't shy about being seen by all those people?" Akri pointed towards the people in the restaurant who were looking at them.

His hand continued to stroke Ichad's back, to calm him down. He looked at Ichad's already whitened fist, as it held back in anger and fury. Especially when he heard his girlfriend's words to Carren.

"Yes, Akri is right. Don't because Ichad's brother is kind and then may be fond of him. That outrageous thing is you, not Ichad's sister. You've humiliated Sister Ichad in front of our boss." Said Rosna, immediately standing face to face with Ichad's girlfriend, because it did not accept Carren being carried around.

"Why am I angry and not accepting? Because you're mouthed, it's ruined our happiness on the first day of work." Rosna, who was already emotional, could not help but stand face to face with Ichad's girlfriend with her hands clenched.

"So you're really Ichad's coworkers?" He asked in a quiet voice, realizing that he might have misjudged when he heard what Akri and Rosna had said.

"If not a coworker, what? We're cheating on Ichad? Is that where Ichad is? Just become a girlfriend, the song has exceeded the wife." Rosna spoke while looking at Ichad's girlfriend angrily. Ichad's girlfriend is stunned.

"Ros and Akri, there is no need to serve a person with a short wit. Let's finish your drinks, and then continue our work." Ichad finally made a sound, having mastered his emotions. Rosna's words can reduce her anger tension.

"Can you see all our notes on this table? Are we dating while painting a courtship?" Carren spoke while pointing at the paper on the table, but continued to stare at Ichad's girlfriend.

"You as an office worker but don't know, a lot of businessmen talk and lobby his business on the dinner table? You learn a lot first, you can judge others." Carren doesn't accept Ichad's girlfriend insulting their job which is considered inferior to working in the office.

"This I share a little for you, may help you to learn to respect others. So don't just open your eyes wide, but your ears are also opened wide."

"We're at work next to lunch, because we're being chased for time to get this job done. You can have lunch in a relaxed and calm manner, but we have to think and discuss over lunch."

"Right now, our working prowess and dexterity are being tested by the client. So please leave us, so we can work." Carren said as he shook his hand, as if expelling his girlfriend Ichad.

"Please enjoy your lunch, and let Ichad eat and work quietly, as we desperately need his composure to get this job done." Carren continued with a serious face, showing he was the leader of Mareka.

"I'm sorry for this disturbance, ma'am." Ichad said, responding to the words of Carren and Rosna who had said Carren was their boss.

"It's okay. Please finish immediately, so as not to interfere with the work that awaits our concentration. This please check the design already made, there may be something that needs to be corrected or added." Carren deliberately points out that Ichad is not unemployed. He ignores Ichad's girlfriend who is still standing stunned.

"Darling, why are you here. I'm from the toilet and friends say you're walking this way." Said a man who suddenly went into a restotan, while approaching Ichad's girlfriend.

Back the four people sitting at the dining table looked towards the voice of the man who had just entered the restaurant in astonishment. Ichad's girlfriend's face immediately reddened and misbehaved to hear the man calling her affectionate.

"Good day, sir. Who are you looking for?" Rosna asked the man who was older than her. She can't keep quiet and is willing to assert who Ichad's boyfriend really is.

"Ooh, don't look anymore. This is over, my girlfriend." Said the man, curling his hands around Ichad's girlfriend's waist. It made the four of them as well as some of the people sitting with them gawk as if in disbelief.

"Ooh... Please bring his girlfriend, sir. Don't let him become salt and melt here, no one can clean it." Carren stands up and lets the man bring his girlfriend Ichad.

Carren sat dumbstruck while heavily breathing out after they left the restaurant. An event that drains energy and emotion. He looked towards Ichad who was just speechless.

"Pantesan Kak Ichad asked us to have lunch at this Mall. It turns out Ichad wanted to be shown something very extraordinary. Be grateful, Sister Ichad." Carren said, patting Ichad's hand gently.

"Yeah, yeah... It was like, durian that had been hidden as weepy as possible, but kisses too." Akri said, while continuing to stroke Ichad's back to comfort him.

"But I was thinking, niiih. Why do people do wrong, the severity of the acute level, yes." Said Rosna, putting a finger on her chin.🤔

"Neither think of it. Niiih. who thinks and notes later forgets." Akri took Rosna's hand and pointed at the paper on the table.

"Yes, Brother Akri. I'm still upset about the same guy. Just break up with Ichad's sister, take the drama." Rosna spoke while picking up the paper on the table.

"You're just upset. The guy's gone, noooo..nooo." Akri spoke while pointing with his face towards the exit. Ichad smiles at Akri and Rosna. Carren smiled and was grateful, seeing that Ichad could already smile.
