Waiting for your Love to Grow

New Friends

The elevator rang. after the door opened, some of the women who had gathered and whispered it finally came out, leaving 2 friends and Nabila who still had to be in the elevator.

One of the employees who was about to come out, deliberately hit the shoulder of Nabila, to make Nabila lost balance and almost fell because the impactor had a fairly large body.

Nabila intended to reprimand the person who had hit him, but the elevator door first closed. He grunted slowly. As his eyes swept through the elevator, two people were looking at him with a sinister look.

When she did not stay silent this time, she glared back at her woman and said, "What a look!". Then he turns one end of his lips, "Pity once your life yes, life just to take care of others. Lots of work! Not a lot of nyinyir!", said Nabila while giving his hands.

Actually Nabila wanted to give another lesson to two people, who now only dared to lower their heads, but the elevator had reached the 18th floor. When I get out, the elevator door opens.

Nabila first went to the toilet before going to his study. He needed to let out his previously stifled emotions. The details of the tears that were in the stool, left alone free to slide from the eye fertilizers.

After being satisfied to vanish, he washed his face wet with tears in the sink.

If usually Nabila greet his colleagues once entered the large room, not for this time. He went straight in and sat down at his desk, which was sealed by glass as a dividing wall between other colleagues.

Without saying much, he immediately did the jobs that he had left a few days ago. Suddenly Vita just entered his booth without permission, but Nabila did not reprimand him because of the familiarity between them made some of his team-mates usually cheered into his work booth.

"Where are you going?" Ask Vita while walking closer to Nabila. But did not get an answer from Nabila who was still focused on the papers in front of him.

Without wanting to sit down, Vita continued. "Don't you know, the gossip circulating in the office about mbak? Huebohhh baget, mbak", added Vita with a frenzy.

This time Nabila reacted, he straightened his head and glared at Vita and succeeded in making Vita growl. Vita bit her lower lip and lowered her head, but did not shift from where she was.

"You here to talk about work or private? If it's work, please sit down. But if you only want to discuss personal matters, this is the time of working hours" said Nabila firmly.

"Sorry", said Vita Lirih, then he left Nabila after saying excuse me.

Lunch time has arrived. The employees began to scatter from his work room to the cafeteria or dining places around the office.

As usual, at these hours with a box of provisions in her hand, she walked to her husband's room to deliver lunch.

During the trip to the Deputy Director's room, Nabila received the same treatment as this morning from several employees. However, he tried to restrain himself, as he had planned in the bathroom.

He did not criticize at all the nyinyinyiran from the office residents.

"Miss Karina, can I leave this for Mr Denis?", asked Nabila.

Karina who was sitting, as soon as she heard Nabila's voice immediately rose from her chair while smiling kindly. "Lho, Miss Nabila don't know? Today Mr. Denis did not enter the office, mbak", he said with a little surprise.

"No, yes" said Nabil, disappointed.

"I'm sorry, mbak, said Mr. Denis was Nabila's girlfriend, really? But, why don't you know if you don't want to?" Ask Karina.

Nabila smiled at Karina's question. "Miss Karina believes the gossip?" Tanya Nabila, who was answered by Karina despite her doubts.

"Then, this is for you. At home later, let me get the container here" said Nabila, then leave Karina.

"Miss Nabila"

Nabila who heard someone calling her immediately turned her head towards the person who called her. Once he knew who the person who called him was, he twisted his body and nodded his head.

Arsyad walked up to Nabila with a flat face.

"Can I help you, sir?", asked Nabila.

"I want to talk about something, come to my room!", ordered Arsyad, who then walked into his room followed by Nabila behind him.

"I know what people think of you and what they do to you. Why don't you just tell them the truth, that you're Mr Denis' wife?" Arsyad

When he was silent and kept his head down, he did not answer Arsayad's question.

"Or maybe your marriage is a setting, so you don't dare to say publicly about your marriage?", cried Arsyad with a probing gaze.

Hearing what Arsyad said, made Nabila hold her head up and say, "Did you ask me to come here just to talk about this matter? If so, sorry I have to leave because a boss like you does not have the right to interfere in the personal affairs of employees like me", said Nabila ketus, then rose from his seat

"Wait for Miss", prevent Arsyad from standing from his seat

"Excuse me", said Nabila as he was about to step foot, but Arsyad quickly blocked Nabila's steps by stretching his hands in front of the woman.

"Please let me go, I will not share my personal story with you", Pinta Nabila tried to break through.

"Listen to me for a moment, it's about Jenica" Arsyad said firmly.

Hearing the name Jenica, made Nabila still fixated. He who was trying to escape from the room, now just stood up while seriously putting his ears.

"I knew Jenica had met you, because she told me everything. He is my cousin. He loves Denis so much and I know enough about how Denis feels about him. Tell Jenica your true position, don't let you regret it, because I know who Jenica is" Arsyad said.

Without saying a word, Nabila immediately stepped out of the room, as soon as Arsyad lowered his hands.

Arsyad could only look at the passing of the woman he so admired as he muttered inwardly, "I can't quite shake this feeling, Nab. But, I've been sincere if you want to be with someone else, as long as you're happy and I won't let anyone hurt you"

While after leaving the Arsyad room, Nabila chose to go to the pantry rather than to his room. In the pantry there is only an office girl, when Nabila entered into it.

"Can I help you, ma'am?", asked an office girl to Nabila who was sitting in one of the chairs.

"Can make me green tea", Pinta Nabila who was later confirmed by the office girl.

Shortly after, the office girl who from chat is known as Lisa was already presenting a cup of green tea in front of Nabila.

"Thank you, Lisa", said Nabila with a smile that is actually heavy to show. "Can you accompany me here?" Tanya Nabila while patting the chair next to her.

Lisa nodded, then sat down next to Nabila after taking a few slices of bread and a glass of tea.

After drinking the tea in front of him a few sips, Nabila turned to look at the girl in front of him. "You're new here?"

"Yes, mom. I just worked here for a week, ma'am", Lisa replied with enthusiasm to make Nabila immediately see him smile.

"My message just saw. Don't call me ma'am, just call me ma'am. Do I look old, you call mom?", said Nabila while sipping back his tea.

" Hahaha.ngak ma'am, uh mbak, still seems still a student even hahaha.", said Lisa.

"Ah you can" said Nabila while accompanied by a small laugh.

Nabila stuck out her hand. "My name is Nabila, so call me mbak Nabila" said Nabila.

"Already know mbak, it's in the name tag mbak there" said Lisa while pointing to the name tag Nabila. Lisa's words were greeted with laughter by Nabila.

The chatter of the two of them seemed so exciting, it was not uncommon for laughter to break out of their mouths. Temporarily being able to forget the problem.

From the chat, Nabila knew that Lisa worked for her tuition fees and helped her mother find her sister's school fees. Lisa's life story is almost the same as Nabila's.
