When My Boss is Looking for Love

Chapter 29

Gayung went down first, while Sasha was still preparing in the room. In his hand was a pack of cat food for the Koci, as soon as Gayung called him. The unkempt little cat who has come here for a few days to ask for food rations. And sure enough, the black white cat was waiting for him under the tree while licking his feathers. He immediately meowed, as soon as Gayung approached him.

"Hello, Koci," said Gayung while taking it in his carrier. He did not feel disgusted, even though the cat looks dirty unkempt. The young man sat on a long bench under a tree and picked up wet wipes from his bag. Clean the feathers of Koci painstakingly until shiny. After that, he gave nutritious food to Koci in a small container that he carried.

"Do you like cats?"A voice that was quite recognisable, distracting her from looking at Koci who was so voraciously enjoying her morning breakfast.

"Yes" answered the short-sighted man, this time he was able to smile again. After last night he issued his uncles to the Almighty, in his evening prayer. Her eyes narrowed because she was crying too much.

"Can smile also turns out," Aven quipped with a small laugh, he sat himself beside Gayung still with a guitar in his hand. The man was just wearing casual clothes.

"Aren't you working?" tanya Gayung ignored Aven's insinuations.

"No, again want off first," he replied casually while strumming his original guitar but rhythmically.

"You want a request?" tanyakanya.

"No," replied Gayung, still staring straight at Koci.

Aven looked at the old Gayung, there was a faint smile from the corner of his lips. He was really fascinated by that girl. Since the first time he passed the curly-haired girl a month ago. He always imagined the narrow eyes that look sweet, his smile is also his teeth that he thinks are unique. He was disappointed to know that the girl who attracted his attention turned out to have a lover.

Aven plucked his guitar back, the song he sang last night with a slow tempo.

"You're beautiful today .. and I like ...."

But a greeting, stopped his singing.

"Assynualallaikum." Gayung averted his eyes from Koci, hearing a familiar voice.

"Mr?" He was surprised to see his father standing not far from him. But what attracted his attention was the figure standing behind him. A figure that has been draining his heart and mind lately. She stared at him, neither warmth nor smile on her face. Does he not miss me? Gayung's heart returned fragile immediately watching that.

"You want to go to work?" asked the Father, his eyes looked at Aven who immediately greeted Mr. Ming and Galas with a polite attitude.

"I'm Aven, Andara's friend. I happen to be here too." Aven introduced himself.

"Oh, doesn't work?" ask Mr. Ming kindly.

"It just so happens to be off, sir." Aven invited Father and Galas to sit down. He shifted his body closer to Gayung to give it a place.

But Galas rejected the offer and invited to go directly to the office. Because working hours are about to start. Gayung and Galas eyes meet each other. One exuded a deep longing while one gave a look of anger or perhaps jealousy. I don't know ... Gayung was confused how to behave being Galas so cold to him.

They get in the car, Gayung sits in the back seat. His hand was busy typing a message to Sasha, that he was leaving first with Galas.

"What's going on in Jakarta?" tanya Gayung issued a question that he had not had time to throw earlier. It is impossible for you to come just to see him, given the busyness of the Father in the village with his patients.

"That, Galas asked you to help me deal with the terror problem in his office." Gayung ber"oh" without a sound, his attention was fixed again on Galas who was busy driving his car. The man did not make a sound from earlier. It really makes Gayung feel disturbed by his residence. What was his mistake until Galas silenced him like this? If there were no Father among them, perhaps Gayung had already expressed his frustration. But seeing this kind of condition, how could he do it? Gayung was really frustrated.

They soon arrived at the office. Galas still hasn't greeted him at all. He only spoke to Mr. Ming, asking him to come in from the reception door. While Gayung prefers to pass through other doors that are directly connected to absentee places and employee lockers.

"Hi, Gayung," said Dina as familiar as ever. Whether he does not remember the treatment he used to be at school, it could be that he is acting pretentious now as if nothing happened before, the inner Gayung is inexhaustible. Is he too vindictive or what. I don't know, but the treatment of Dina, Adi and his friends is always imprinted into the worst memories of his time for Gayung.

Gayung only replied with a thin smile, while putting his bag into the locker.

"You're still mad at me, aren't you, Yung? Cause of trouble first...." He looked at the face that showed no guilt.

"No," answered Gayung lying.

"But you rich don't like me?" ask again.

I do not like you, it's good to be aware, the inner Gayung.

"I'm sorry, Yung. I was a child, still a child, his mind was immature. Cook anyway just because of such trivial problems, his anger until now .. anyways we do not play this physical with you," said Dina lightly.

"Trivial matter?" gayung asked inexhaustibly, not usually he became cynical like this. "You know, because of you. I cry every day, I'm afraid to go to school. I am alone, while you say bad things to me every day as if I were a heartless creature. And you said it was a trivial matter." His tears suddenly poured out without being able to hold. He was so emotional because his problem with Galas was not finished. Now, lightly, the person who had bullied him during Junior High said that what happened in the past was only a trivial matter.

"What's this?" tanyanya approached the two. Gayung turned his face while wiping his face full of tears. A second later, he decided to run to the toilet. Wash her face there and fix her makeup. He did not want to get questions from his colleagues. Because of unusual looks.

"There's nothing, sir. Just a small matter." Dina who was left alone, would not want to give an explanation. He just can't stop thinking, why Gayung can be as brave to escape when asked their Boss.

"What little problem?" Erratic looking at his new employee was full of probing.

"Ehm .. teenage problems only, sir, it was our time at school," replied Dina did not explain clearly, she looked down deeply. As a new kid, talking to the Boss really made him tremble. As powerful as this turned out to be the aura of a Boss, his inner.

"You're one school with a Gayung?" tanya Galas is still with an interrogation-filled attitude.

"Yes, sir." Dina was still with her lowered attitude.

"Yes, you can go" said Galas to expel. Dina did not realize that, she agreed and then passed to her room. Some of the new employees came, greeted Galas then quickly fled the employee locker room.

Galas stepped into the toilet, waiting for Gayung there by leaning against the wall with his hands crossed over his chest.

Not long to be out too. Gayung looked a little surprised, but he immediately turned his face away from the Galas gaze that was so sharp towards him. Though this is the most awaited moment Gayung, but now he wants to avoid the man.

"What's the problem?" Galas blocked his hand, holding back his steps that were about to leave.

"Nothing" answered the snail.

"You mad?"

"According to Galas?" The giraffe still turned his face away.

"I have a reason, not to contact you ...."

"Then tell me why." This time Gayung faced his face on the face he had missed for the past few days.

"I am busy" answered Galas with his hand still blocking the hand of Gayung.

"What's so busy you don't have time to just text me?" Gayung took a breath, held back his tears of carelessness. He would not cry in front of Galas.

"Yes," Galas replied still with his flat face. "I was busy until I didn't have time to contact you" Galas continued. "But don't make it a reason you can get close to other men." This time the sentence was full of emphasis.

"I'm not close to any man" Gayung argued in disbelief at Galas' accusations.

"Then this morning what? You like being sung a romantic song by that fucking guy?" This time Galas looks a little emotional.

"He was singing, not singing to me. I'm not familiar with him either." The sound of the gait is a little high. His mind was drained out just to think of Galas, while he was instead accused of a no-no. Gayung really does not accept.

"Don't be naive, he's trying to get close to you ...," said Galas cynically.

"That's his business, not mine" said Gayung.

A voice stopped their quarrel.

"Reply, have you returned?" Jay approached them. He did not know that there was a Gayung there, because the position was covered by a wall. Galas released his check on Gayung's hand.

"Jay, get me a ticket to Singapore" he said, without looking at Gayung again, as he walked out of the room.

"What's the matter, boss?" ask Jay to relax.

"My head is dizzy, I want to check up my health there," Galas replied in passing and closed the door hard. Makes Jay astonished, but once he saw Gayung who suddenly appeared from behind the wall. He understood what had just happened there.
