The Stupid Shaft

I'M NOT A TOY

"Whataaa???"

Quickly Ricky and Angga closed their ears as soon as Nino shouted.

Nino clucked then looked at Angga and Ricky in turn.

"So that night you told me the same woman? Don't I look like a fool now?"

Ricky and Angga both pointed at Nino with their tails and laughed out loud.

"Continue... Keep laughing!!! At least I shouldn't have to break you guys up." Barbecue Nino.

"Sorry, brother!" Ricky patted Nino on the shoulder who looked annoyed.

"No need to apologize to him. He's immune to being hurt." Angga looked at Nino while gulping down his drink.

"No.You know I don't drink that." Ricky refuses when Angga offers him a drink.

"You should get used to it, Ky. This will be common in any meeting with business colleagues." Angga pulled back his glass.

"That's what I don't like." Ricky mumbled.

The two friends just looked at Ricky with concern.

They both know very well how all this time a Ricky kept running from his last name.

He even applied to the University without his incriminating last name. With the help of Angga, Ricky uses a fake identity by changing his last name.

To date, Angga and Nino still do not understand what Ricky really wants. But they still support Ricky's decision.

"Slow down, Ky. You will get used to it." Angga tries to encourage Ricky.

"Enjoy! Sooner or later this will happen too. You can't keep running. Face it! We've always supported you." Nino returned the shoulder pat Ricky gave her.

Gaining the support of his two best friends, adds to Ricky's confidence.

"I'm lucky to have you behind me."

Ricky's smile expands on his masculine face.

Deta continued to look at Dito while crossing her arms around her chest and looking forward to the explanation from her sister.

But Dito, who did not feel guilty at all, looked back at his brother.

"Deeekk..." Deta approached Dito who was sitting on his desk chair.

Dito clucked because he had understood his brother's intentions.

"Sister, I'm just doing what I think is right." Dito looked the other way to avoid Deta's gaze.

"really? You think by locking up Dania you've done the right thing?" Deta squinted her eyes.

"Why do you always think I hurt that unlucky child?!!" Shouted Dito which made Deta flabbergasted.

"I hate him, brother. But I never thought I'd want to hurt him let alone hit him." Connect Dito with overflowing emotions.

"At least, brother. I showed my hatred clearly!!! Not like big brother trying to ignore sister's hatred for her. It'll kill my brother from the inside."

After saying all that, Dito came out of his room in anger.

Do I really hate Dania?

But since when?

Have I been pretending to love her all this time?

Why didn't I realize it???

Deta's knees were limp until she fell to the floor and cried silently.

***

The night is getting late. Deta and Ricky are so busy with each other's thoughts that they forget each other for a while.

Deta who is still jolted with what Dito revealed is still trying to digest all the things that happened in his life since the arrival of Dania.

And Ricky is also no less drifting to think about his fate in the future who must take full responsibility for all his family assets.

Until they both enter their subconscious. None of them remembered the wonderful thing they had been through the night before.

"I... There's a little business, ma." Ricky's stiff and forced smile can be clearly understood by Bu Rika.

"How is your relationship going with Deta?" A glass of warm milk came over to Ricky along with his mother's question.

"Good, ma." Ricky picked up a piece of bread and began to grease it with his favorite pineapple jam.

"So when are you getting married?" Tanya Bu Rika is enthusiastic.

"Come, ma. I have to think about it again."

Along with Ricky's reply, Deta steps towards the dining table and can of course hear Ricky's remarks very clearly.

Ricky who was unaware of that, casually devoured his breakfast. A voice that was not foreign to him.

"Good morning, Mr. Sanjaya's mother." Deta nodded politely.

Without a warning from anyone, Ricky immediately turned his head and saw Deta standing next to him.

"Morning, Ta. No need to be so formal. Have you had breakfast? Sit down!" Bu Rika smiled to reduce the tension that was suddenly created.

"Thank you, ma'am. I have breakfast. I have to go back. If you need anything..." Deta was unable to finish her sentence because Ricky suddenly stood before her and stared at her intently.

"Stop acting like a waiter!" Ricky's voice sounded very cold.

"I am a waiter. And nothing can change that."

Ricky snorted as soon as he heard Deta's answer.

Long enough he stared at Deta without caring about the presence of his parents.

"alright. From now on you're not a waiter in this house anymore." Ricky's words made Deta immediately raise his gaze.

Looks like Bu Rika will already talk but detained by Mr. Firman.

"Sorry, sir. You can't fire me." Now Deta looked at Ricky without hesitation because he was controlled by anger.

I mean I want to change your status to my wife not to fire you, my dear Deta!!!

Ricky swears inwardly at Deta's insensitive eyes.

"Why? This is my house." Ricky is taking refuge behind his prestige.

"Before you said that this is not your home but the home of your parents. So sorry, pak. Only Ms. Rica and Mr. Word can fire me." With a straightforward Deta refuted Ricky's words.

Unlike usual, Ricky lost a fight with someone. Usually, he could always silence the mouths of others. But this time it was he who was at a loss for words.

Love makes me run out of words.

Her thought.

"Then, ma. Fire this girl right now." Ricky talks to his mother who seems to be enjoying his argument with Deta.

"Ma!!!" Ricky raised his tone.

"Geez, what is this really about? Yesterday you said you wanted to marry Deta but now you want to fire her." Bu Rika leaned her body on the chair.

"I just need time, ma." Answer Ricky.

"Time to get rid of boredom." Lirih Deta said as she endured the crying.

"Follow papa to the study, boy!!! " Mister Word who had listened to their conversation finally opened his voice.

Ricky took a deep breath and exhaled violently.

Before stepping following his father, Ricky glimpsed at Deta who was still staring at him in anger.

I'm just a toy for you!!!!
