The Temptation of the Former

There is a Heart to be Guarded

In the morning at the main building king group, all have been on the move as usual. Jihan had just arrived, but it seemed like she was having problems with her feet, the shoes she was wearing made her feet hurt.

The size of the shoe was indeed a little small at Jihan's feet. He forgot to wear the sandals he used to ride the bus, because in the bus he always did not get to the seat, as a result always had to stand until he got to the destination.

It looked very uncomfortable as he walked, but inevitably he had to endure the pain in his legs, there was no way he was barefoot going into the company.

Jihan got into the elevator, saw no one inside and just herself, Jihan opened her high heels and let her feet rest for a moment.

When the elevator doors opened, Jihan again put on those high heels with a heavy heart.

At the door of the financial room, Jihan drags her step towards her desk which is not far away, but this time it seems very far.Everyone in the room notices Jihan's strange behavior.

"You why Jihan?" ask Jenny who is now in front of Jihan's desk.

"This is my leg, scuffed for too long standing on the bus, and it looks like my shoes are small, these shoes are a gift from my aunt, not in my dear wear, they're even hurt like this," said Jihan.

Malik who was sitting behind his desk glanced to the side, he noticed Jihan's leg which had a blister, but he just kept quiet without saying anything, even though he was really worried.

"Don't wear it again, just open it .. I happen to be carrying sandals, do you want to?" ask jenny.

"Maybe, at least I can wear it in this room right," Jihan said.

"OK wait a minute, I'll get it," said Jenny then stepped back to her desk.

Jihan glanced to her left side, she saw Malik who just kept quiet without talking to her. Usually Malik was the first person who always worried about her.

It feels strange when people closest to us, silent without us knowing the real reason.

"Jihan, here's the sandal" jenny said as she thrust the slippers at Jihan.

"Ah yes, thanks jen," said Jihan.

Johan was in the elevator, he bent his face, because today he was not so excited. when he arrived in the room Raksa was already there.

"Good morning sir" said Raksa limp.

"Why you?" said Johan who noticed Raksa who was also not excited today.

"Huft ... I just broke up from my girlfriend sir," said Raksa Lirih.

"Your cry .. the man must be strong" Johan said.

"Sir why ... I noticed when you entered your face was bent so?" ask Raksa.

"Ehm ..it's none of your business" Johan said.

"Is this because of Jihan," Raksa said suddenly.

Johan turned back to Raksa, looking into the eyes of the mercury with a sharp look.how this new secretary knows everything when he never discussed jihan with him.

"What do you mean?" ask Johan.

"I'm sorry to hear you before, sir.but that night, while you were in the care of the health worker's tent, I heard the conversation between you and Jihan," said Raksa who made Johan again stunned.

That night after Raksa gave an announcement to all the camping participants, Raksa returned to check on Johan's condition.

When he was about to enter, he suddenly heard his Boss was like talking to someone, finally Raksa back his steps.he stood outside the tent, and heard all the chatter of Jihan and Johan.

"Huh .. because you already know, you better shut up and not tell anyone, otherwise, you will fire me" Johan threatened.

Lunch time has arrived, Malik out of the room first, no matter what, but Malik did not say anything and just left. Jenny, Cika and Rendy are about to go to lunch, they approach Jihan who is still busy behind her desk.

"Jihan, let's have lunch first" said Cika.

"You guys, I don't want to go out if I'm just wearing sandals, afraid of getting reprimanded" Jihan said.

"Do you want to eat something, let me buy it later" said Jenny.

"Please buy me some mineral water and some bread" Jihan said.

"Oh well," Jenny said.

"Then you go first, Jihan" said Rendy.

"Ah yes, go," said Jihan.

His colleagues have left, Jihan is back to focus on her laptop screen.Because she can't get out, Jihan decides to just finish her job.

When he was focused on doing his work, the door of the room opened, and it turned out that the person who entered was Malik. Jihan heard the sound of footsteps approaching, but she was still focusing on her laptop screen, she thought it was jenny.

"Why are you so fast, don't eat" said Jihan.

Since there was no answer finally Jihan decided to turn around. He looked up to see who was standing in front of his desk right now. A sense of awkwardness began to appear, when he knew if the person who was now in front of him was Malik.

"Can we talk for a second?" asked Malik suddenly.

"Speak, I listen" said Jihan.

"Huft .. can't be here" Malik said.

"I can't get out, you don't see, I'm wearing flip-flops, my legs are hurting" Jihan said, since yesterday Malik did not speak to her and now Malik instead comes and asks her to talk to him.

Malik thrusting a large paper bag in front of Jihan's face, Jihan immediately frowned seeing that.

"What is this," said Jihan.

Malik did not answer, but Malik immediately stepped aside and rested in front of Jihan. Malik opened the contents of a paper bag containing new shoes that he bought just now.

He reached Jihan's feet and put the shoes on to Jihan's feet. Jihan looks surprised but also does not refuse, Jihan is afraid that if she refuses will make this kind-hearted partner, angry again to him.

"It was once, '" said Malik

"This is for me?" ask Jihan.

"Yes, of course for you" said Malik.

"I guess you're still mad at me" Jihan said, noticing the black high heels that were so comfortable on her feet.

Malik again stood up to his upright position.he placed both hands on the left right side of the pants pocket he was wearing.he looked at Jihan inside. Conscious at such a gaze, Jihan instantly shifted her gaze.

"Actually that night I wanted to say something very important, but you didn't come" Malik said.

"Then let's say, we're alone here now" Jihan said as she looked back at Malik.

"Actually I want to say that I ..." said Malik hanging.
