Zulfa was also aware of the other stares of the employees. Some are cynical and some are ignorant. Not a few people greeted him friendly. In front of the room Maira works. He showed it to Zulfa.
"This is my room Fa, next to Bu Anin's room, you must know dong" said Maira.
Yes, clearly Zulfa knows, because Anin has been considered like his own brother. Anin was too kind to Zulfa long ago, even often giving Zulfa a snack to go to college. But Zulfa had never seen Anin again since he left the store. And he hasn't told Anin the truth either. Maybe Anin was shocked to see him join Arshana.
Maira's room is right next to Anin's. Because he served as Anin's assistant. That helps to manage the company's finances. But since Anin was also in the meeting, the room was empty.
Maira again invites Zulfa to go downstairs. While walking down the hall where the employees were working, their gazes were all instantly fixed on Maira and Zulfa. And from them there was one who questioned the status of Zulfa to Maira. At once the insinuation that made Zulfa feel offended.
"Who are you bringing Maira? Wasn't that Mr Arshana? New girlfriend, huh?" ask one of the women who sat there at the far right corner named Rena.
"Hmm certainly not much different from the previous one, the capital of seduction and beauty. Everyone can too, oh yes, Mr. Arshana is very rich. Handsome too, who wouldn't. Must be a sudden conglomerate" another great-grandson said.
"Well, the baker becomes queen. Obviously different dong, just look at the appearance is different. Definitely modalized, where able to buy expensive clothes," said the cynical Renaissance.
Zulfa's heart felt smitten with insults and insinuations from them. He felt hurt by the words they shouldn't have said. Without being given money by her husband, Zulfa could also afford expensive clothes. He did not want to buy anything useless. He also had savings that his father gave him every month. They only know Zulfa is a bakery employee, but they don't know what Zulfa's background is.
They were only able to insult just by looking outside of it. But they don't know in Zulfa how. At this moment, Zulfa's feelings are being torn to shreds. Unknowingly their words had insulted Zulfa as a seductive woman. But the truth is not like that.
Maira was also hurt by their words. He was not the one being insulted, but his best friend. Maira did not like their words that could not be filtered. If they knew that Zulfa was the wife of his leader, would they still dare to insult him? Will definitely think twice, because once Arshana's touched will be many times his anger.
"You're talking guarded, if you hear Arshana how? You don't know who's in front of this? If you don't know it's quiet! Don't even use speech to say things that hurt others!" maira's reprimands try to contain her anger.
"You know, he's just a bakery employee, we know. Every day he comes here to deliver orders. Ms. Anin also often approached him. This woman I have met so many times, the edges are also the same as before. Where would it be if there was no treasure," said Bella who had insulted Zulfa.
"You if.." Maira's words were cut because Zulfa held her hand to be silent.
"I'm not the woman you have in mind. If you do not know the truth, do not speak. Later you also regret yourself, which you say from what you see. But do you know that's what I'm going through? And I am not a seductive woman or just want treasure in a relationship. Are you guys better than me? Sure as good as that? Next time watch your words!" zulfa said at length, even though his anger had been sluggish. He's trying to hold it.
I don't know if he's more sensitive than usual, wanting to leave immediately. But his heart was too sick to hear their insults. She is not a seductive woman, nor is she a dark woman of treasure. Not the charm-spreading woman.
"Hmm, no need to dodge. There are already many looks of women like you, words are high but can not be self-introspection!" his great-grandson.
Whats? Can't self-introspect? Is he talking about himself? Not behind his words? Yes, if you can't see yourself. I can only judge others by one eye.
"Never go back from what you said? The one who cannot introspect is you! Be aware of yourself before speaking, you will be ashamed of yourself! Hushhooh!" maira said in a mocking tone.
"That's Maira, let's go. I didn't come here to listen to what they said, just to say anything. The only people who know my status are the closest people, who know them," said Zulfa somewhat to lower his voice.
"Their mouth should occasionally be silenced by Zulfa, so as not to be made to insult people and gossip. They get paid to talk about other people, don't they! Their job is not to scout people" Maira said.
"Most also so j*lang pay, babu look really want to be queen!" said Bella relaxed without looking at Zulfa or Maira.
"If you speak guarded song Bel, pity tuh," said the colleague next to Bella advising.
This time Zulfa's patience was completely exhausted. Their words had already passed, once in a while indeed he had to be firm so as not to be oppressed. It hurts! That's how Zulfa feels now.
After saying so, Zulfa immediately ran to the elevator for her husband's room. Maira also immediately followed Zulfa, because Arshana had been assigned to guard Zulfa during the meeting. So it's his responsibility to accompany me to look after Zulfa.
Along the way Zulfa only wiped his tears that did not stop coming out. His heart hurts, hurts, hurts, everything he feels. How not, she's a good woman even get an inversely proportional insult. It was painful for Zulfa. He is not like Firsi who easily volunteered to be enjoyed by men br*ngs*k.
Until inside Arshaan's room, Zulfa directly stabbed in the sofa while continuing to cry a mouthful. Maira had tried to calm Zulfa down, but still her best friend cried. If Arshaan finds out, he'll be furious. Especially if you hear the insults of his employees who were hurled at Zulfa.
"Fa, don't cry. I can't bear to see you like this, be patient. They are outrageous indeed, I will reprimand them later," Maira said as she held Zulfa's shoulder.
"Revealing how Mai? You didn't see it, your words weren't heard. Especially me, look! They insult me more. It hurts my heart, I'm not that sweet girl! Hix....Hicks! " sternly Zulfa while continuing to cry.
Maira no longer knows what to do. Usually Zulfa will be strong even though various insults are directed at him. Crying for a while and trying to get up, but Maira doesn't see that now. Zulfa was crying a mouthful. Indeed, their words had gone too far, Maira thought so.
There's no other way than to call Arshana. But how can it be? The meeting is not yet over. Later he interfered, his duty was to look after Zulfa. In retrospect, would Arshana not get angry later if she did not say it first?.
Finally Maira decided to call Arshana alone. May the meeting be over, inward Maira. "Zulfa, I'm out for a minute, yes, you wait here" said Maira, rubbing Zulfa's hand for a moment and leaving.
Maira rushed down to the meeting room, hoping Arshana was done. At least he wants to tell Zulfa's condition now. Looks like Zulfa can only calm down if there's Arshana there. Up in front of the meeting room, the door was open a little and looks still ongoing. Maira hesitates to enter, afraid to interrupt and looks disrespectful.
Maira just paced back and forth in front of the room. He was at a loss as to what to do, leaving Zulfa too long as well. When she wants to return to Arshana's room, Maita sees Marlin coming out of the meeting room. Maira immediately stopped Marlin's steps.
"Sorry sir, may I speak to you for a moment?" said Maira.
"What do you want to say? I hurriedly took the documents, later on," replied Marlin wanting to pass but Maira directly prevented it.
"It's about Zulfa!" hearing Zulfa's name being called, Marlin's gaze immediately turned towards Maira with a puzzled look.
"Why Miss Zulfa?" ask Marlin.
Then Maira explains to the real Marlin. As Marlin's countenance changed, he now understood why Maira looked confused. Marlin nodded then went back inside the meeting room.
"Where's Marlin's paperwork?" ask Arganta when he saw Marlin quickly back.
"Excuse me Mr. Arganta, I need something with Mr. Arshana," then Marlin whispered something to Arshana. Because there's another co-worker.
Arshana's hands clenched tightly while listening to Marlin's words just now. "Damn it!" arshana then ran out without explaining anything more.
He ran to the elevator to get to his room. While Maira had already returned first when she finished talking to Marlin earlier. He didn't want to leave Zulfa for too long.
Ting.
The elevator door opened, Arshana immediately ran into her room. There he only found Maira who sat anxiously on the sofa. Then Arshana asked where his wife was.
"Where's Zulfa?"
