Three more days of Christmas, all gathered in front of the division office to hear an announcement. That in five days those who are Christians will be closed. And for Non-Christians will have three days off, one day before Christmas until one day after Christmas. And that day those who have worked at least six months get THN allowance. That day the division office was very busy. In addition to the THN division they also distribute employee salaries on the same day. Their busyness is really emotionally draining. While he was busy, suddenly Zelly's eyes saw something else from Habibah. But he did not know what was different from his subordinates, he also tried to pay attention to what changes were in the girl. When all THN shares and employee salaries are completed. As usual, the girl rushed to take the ablution water that was now provided beside the division office by Zelly, after ablution he climbed back into the office and as usual he cleaned the corner of the room and prayed there. After finishing the prayer and tidying it back to Zelly's desk.
" Where do I have sir?" he asked without further ado and reached out his hand asking for his salary.
" You're not polite, just try to talk. I won't cut your pay anyway, afraid I'll cut it. Even if I cut it you deserve it, because you're the only employee I've ever dared to fight back against" Zelly said. But suddenly his eyes were fixed on an object that was coiled on the girl's ring finger.
" Tumben you wear a ring? I thought you didn't like wearing jewelry, but you're still normal too." ledek Zelly at once.
" Yes had to be used.if not in use later make people misunderstand again." he replied by showing the ring he was wearing.
" What does it mean to misunderstand?" asked Zelly, unable to hold back her curiosity.
" Yes if the engagement ring is not possible to be kept sir, if I keep it later people suspect that I am still single. Doesn't that make other people misunderstand his name?" he said with a little insinuation of his superior.
Unexpectedly Zelly's facial expression instantly changed, she was greatly shocked by the reply of the girl in front of her at this moment.
" When are you engaged? How can you not say?" Ask Zelly in a tone that indicates there is an objection in it.
" Must say yes to my father if I want a fiancee? Father is not my parents why do I also tell father? After all, it has nothing to do with my father, I want a fiancee or marriage is my right so it's up to me dong sir, why do you have to object.?" the girl's answer was so bad. Zelly himself wondered why he had to react so, it was his right why he should also be angry because he did not know if the girl was engaged. Oh my God, why else... Shamefaced ... Why do I have to talk such nonsense? Couldn't it be that I'm jealous? grunts in the heart. Somehow he felt very upset at that moment, he took out an envelope and handed it to Habibah with a slight slam of the envelope on the table.
" that's your salary, take it and go home quickly." he said.
" lh.. Ordinary ajalah sir. why should also wear angry anyway? Anyway this is my right from the company not from the father, why do not you sincerely love him. "reply Habibah while taking the envelope with a little rough as well. Then he came down and went home. While Zelly was still sitting in her chair, she thought about her attitude which lately felt was unnatural for her.
Ah... What's wrong with me? Why am I being like this? What's wrong with that girl? Everything that looks from that girl seems to all seem interesting to me. I'm interested in his brave attitude, I'm interested in his way of speaking, I'm interested in everything he does.. Ahhh.. Siaaall.... How can I be consumed by my own words? I told him that no man would want to be with him but instead I always liked everything he did and said. Ah, Crazy... Can't I really fall in love with her? She's just a 20-year-old girl and I'm 30. My time was conquered by that little girl. His grunts were upset until he did not realize he hit the table in front of him.
" Hey hi hi... What happened to this friend of ours? That tangled up of your face? Up to the table you targeted, what's up heh?" ask Rudy one of Askep who ever interviewed Habibah. Which is also the boss of Zelly. They are from the same city.
" Hush.. What's the matter here?" the question is still with ketus.
" Wuih. You're getting fierce. Hi reduce your excitement if you don't want the girls to stay away from you." led by Rudy laughing at the grim face of his friend .
Along the way to Mes provided by the company, Zelly Tek can stop thinking about Habibah. It really made her very frustrated. Because he knew very well that the girl would never think of herself as she is today who does not stop thinking about the girl. Upon arrival in the room, Zelly laid her tired body. And he reached into his pocket and pulled out his cell phone. He opened a photo gallery, seen some photos of Habibah that he stole when the girl was off guard. How can I be like this, even I can steal a picture of him while photographing him.? The girl's charm is very strong, even I can be like this for her. He complained while staring at one by one the photos on his phone.
Finally he opened the contact in his phone and looking for Habibah's name, he ventured to send a short message.
"Assalamu'alaykum." he wrote and sent it. He waited with a heart of anxious hope. He did not reply, did he? Ask yourself while continuing to stare at the screen of his phone, but unfortunately until the night the awaited reply did not come. How upset he was waiting for his reply to his unrequited message, he finally made a phone call to Habibah.
Tutt.tuutt...
"Assalamu'alaykum.." said a voice over there. Hearing that voice, Zelly was so excited that she didn't know what to say.
" lloo.. Who'sis this?" he said again because he didn't hear the answer from Zelly.
" How dare you not save my number, Nur? " the call to Habibah. Ouch.. Stupid me, why am I acting like this? I screamed at him again. Means to himself while patting his forehead.
" Mister Zelly? How do you have my mobile number?" ask the girl.
" I'm your boss how could I not have your phone number? And yuuu? Can you not keep my phone number?" said Zelly still with his tone of regret.
" Yes ma'af, but by the way what is the father of my phone tumben?" ask the girl at last.
" It's nothing, I just want to check if you save my number or not.And it turns out you don't save my number? Now you save my number.!" the door is half-ruling.
" Good sir I will keep. If I don't need to hang up again. Assalamu'alaykum." said Habibah while deciding on his phone call.
Zelly could only look at the phone in her hand with mixed feelings. How dare he close my call? But why am I even talking nonsense like that? Shouldn't I have said that? How humiliating... Zelly threw her cellphone on her bed because she was upset by her attitude which she thought was very embarrassing earlier.
