The laptop screen turn darkens. My fingers tapped the edge of the table. The clock on the wall almost pointed at 11:10. Soon it was time to rest. I rubbed the rough face.
Since I came to work, my focus has disappeared. There's nothing I can think of with a clear head.
Screwed ... screwed ... screwed up!
I didn’t finish my work. Rough, I grabbed the snacks in the jar and chewed them until they ran out. After that, go back to take the food again to chew again until leaving the jar only.
My hand moved the mouse. The screen that was previously dark now displays various kinds of letters and numbers that make my head dizzy seven times.
It's because of this man. Almost half a day I thought about the message. Imagining what that CEO wants with my arrival to his room, makes me shudder in horror. I gave myself a hug, intending to calm down. Then catch your breath.
Damn it!
A line of messages that can make my mood change. After all, what did he want to tell me to his room? Perhaps!
Is odious! God forbid!
My eyes keep on looking my watch while the paper on the table waiting to be finished. Pissed off. Without realizing it I hit the table.
"What's wrong, Nad?" asked Arumi who just came from outside the room, she immediately approached my desk. That serious look made me uncomfortable. Hands on his hips while wagging his hands in front of my face then asked,
"What’s wrong, Nad?"
"No, Rum," I answer it casually. Shift the table on the back. I got up from the seat, went to the toilet to wash my face.
I look back and i found that Arumi look confused, still with her hips on her knees.
As a partner in the same room. Me, Arumi, Daniel and Rafi are not that close. Just speak as necessary as normal coworkers. At least Arumi and Daniel still communicate with me quite often, in contrast to Rafi, who almost only talks to me when circumstances are most necessary.
The ambon-blooded man with dark brown skin and glasses perched on his nose rarely speaks and doesn't like many talk. So far that is all I know about him.
"To recap the data for this month, please finish immediately." Rafi put a box of paper sheets in it. I stopped typing on the keyboard. I tilted my head briefly to observe the not-too-large box and glanced at him for a long time. The back is getting away.
At that time only the two of us were left in the room, while Daniel was on business and Arumi didn't come to work. The man who doesn't like small talk and prefers to be alone is quite interesting. But, not as interesting as a Davin Adiputra.
About Davin Adiputra. I don't really know much about him, although I could say I like the cute black figure with dimples on his cheeks. Isn't that great as the President Director in a famous company? I heard he also has several other branch companies overseas. Which young and talent girl doesn't fall in love with her figure? Likewise with me.
Even if it's just a hope, it's okay to like someone who can't possibly be obtained while not harming someone who you like.
Just finished face washing habit. The bathroom door was banged impatiently from the outside. I bothered with the word 'wait' but still made it never stop banging. I let out a rough breath before turning the door handle.
"Nada, Mr. Malik looking for you." Arumi gave the code by moving his head to the left. The nervous intonation of voice made me a bit scared. I turn my gaze to the right. Sure enough, from the back of the back I'm sure who he is. My breathing suddenly became manual, the hair on my neck bristled. Feel free to get close. Suddenly from behind Arumi pushed me to quickly meet him.
"Hurry up, Nad." In a bit sounds, Arumi protested because I didn't get close to that man. I nodded doubtfully while taking small steps.
His back turned. Showing the CEO's cold face. His hand points to the watch then looks at me coldly. His feet were stop on the floor.
One word that suits him 'Mister Creepy' I smiled wryly, hiding my worries about being swallowed alive by him.
"Sorry, Sir, what's wrong?" I asked pretending to forget. With difficulty swallowing hard. I avoided his creepy gaze.
"Don't pretend to forget. Come with me to the room now." The baritone voice sounded terrifying to my ears. I nodded in agreement, not forgetting to give a smile when our eyes met. The man's face momentarily distracted me. The flat and cold expression he had been showing in front of the people wasn’t same as the annoying expression he was laughter . Is he a different person from the one I saw earlier? Ah, how could it be.
"I’II wait." The baritone voice once again filled the senses of hearing. Heavy and masculine.
"Yes, Sir." I leaned towards to him. Even though I don't like his figure as can as posssible I throw away that feel when in a working, because here I am nothing more than an employe who has more power to resist him.
The sturdy back disappeared when the door closed again. I took a deep breath, revenge cause from a while not enough air got into my lungs. Because, I can't do it when that creepy creature must be in this room. This knee is already limp. I walked inclined to the work table, pulled a chair to be closer to me and sat on it.
From behind Arumi grabbed my left shoulder. As if I understand what I feel. He gave me a hand gesture for me to take a breath and then exhale, and strangely I followed.
"Well, how about it, better now?" He asked. The girl's eyes twinkled with worry.
"Not bad, test your guts.”I stroked the chest. Um, enough flat.
I closed the chair to the work table. A bit longer, I watched the monthly data computer screen that was still there, luckily I didn't turn it off on this computer. Because sometimes at any time this computer could hang and then all the data that was being worked on was lost without a trace. Well, sometimes I do, and it sure costs me overtime to finish it.
Finish saving data. I got up, braced myself to step into the CEO's room.
Arumi cheered me on from her desk. A split second later was busy again on the computer in front of her. I looked at the watch in hand. At 11 a.m, soon rest time will end and now my stomach is rumbling.
Canteen ... CEO room ... canteen ... CEO room
After thinking about the answer for a long time, I finally decided to turn left into the elevator. Hitting the last floor as the main destination. don't care how messy my face right now, the most important thing is that after meeting him I’ll hurry to eat because the worms in my stomach getting demonstration cause they haven't been given food rations.
The elevator stopped. I stepped my feet as soon as the door opened. I passed the two couples who were standing outside the elevator, they seemed to be chatter.
"Where do you want to dinner tonight, Honey?"
"Wherever, as it with you."
Little of their conversation I could hear before the elevator doors closed again.
There's a little jealousy set in my heart.
-CEO Room-
Somehow just looking at the writing feels creepy.
I stood in front of the room. Try to be as calm as possible before knocking on the door. A reply was heard from inside telling me to immediately enter.
Turning the door handle, I deliberately opened the door a bit wide. However, the baritone's voice interrupted me to shut it down.
I nodded.
I closed the door, but didn't lock, and it just for wary. It is not good if there only two different types of gender in one room. If something unpleasant happens I can freely run away.
"I have no intention of eating you."
I bit my lower lip, turned towards him then pulled a smile. That face was still cold looking at me.
"Sit," He said. Stepping closer, I sat on the chair opposite him. The dark eyes focused on the laptop to his desk. I looked down, afraid that my eyes would see everywhere, and that would be rude. Squeezing the trousers I'm wearing.
"I've seen you," He said.
Aren't I right in front of him?
"I mean, a week ago it was Sunday ..." He said later, without intending to tell anything.
I tried to think hard. A week ago, I came to the orphanage to give some snacks for children. Just come to say hello and play then go home. Isn’t he there? But after I remember. I didn’t see him on the orphanage. How did he know I’m there?
"looks like I see you’re close to kids and you can be trusted a bit. I want you to work as a babysitter for my child." The dark eyes turned shady. Somehow. As he mind.
Shocked after hearing his confession. Apparently, he already had children. No wonder if I call him 'Sir'. cause he was already a gentlemen.
He said he already had children. Of course he also has a wife, so why doesn't his wife take care of it? Ah, I should understand that rich people don't have time to even take care of their own children. I understand now.
But, how could that be. My employee doesn't even have much free time to work on the side.
"But, Sir. I also work here. Then--" The man with the sturdy jaw interrupted me.
Stretched out his id card.
"Saturdays and Sundays from morning to evening. That's my id card." He said. His dark eyes staring at me for a little while waiting for answer.
So creepy.
I'm splashing.
It’s easy he give order for someone to work for him. Who does he think I am. Looks like rather than having to cooperate with this man. It would be better if I refused the offer, because work to him certainly make me prepare myself and be patient a lot so as not to lose my sanity due to the cold and annoying person like him.
"How, do you want it?" He asked again this time his tone trembled a bit. The man cleared his throat.
"Sorry, Sir--"
"Accept it or I'll fire you." He forced.
I feel suddenly frightened. That brief statement shocked me. wanted to protest but I held back, then I forced put this emotions by holding my trousers tightly.
I bit my lower lip, never to believe that I would be put in this situation can threaten my job.
"I’II pay you 10 times the salary you work here. Saturday and Sunday okay." He said again. His gaze shifts to the screen with the apple logo being bitten on the back. Soon he started talking, but who knows who.
Cough!
Is that right? 10 times. Wow, this is suddenly rich. No need to think about it. Being a babysitter doesn't seem like a difficult thing, it's just that maybe every day I will always find this annoying face more often.
"Yes, sir. I will."
I nod excitedly. The man in front of me seemed to smile for a moment. Then go back to cold mode again.
"Ah, Sir. Smile like that to everyone you will not loss."
I smiled as if guiltless in front of him. After I think again, I made the mistake and the person in front of me was staring at me coldly. I pat my forehead. Then apologized for being presumptuous in lecturing him.
"Sorry, Sir ....!"
God die me!
We have many choice for what happens in the future. Choose the thing that we think is good, then we will love it._The view outside the office window was cloudy. I sat there staring at the computer screen occasionally. Many things I thought about, all quite draining and mental."How odd you silent, usually the spirit is working on the tasks that have accumulated," said Daniel to me. It's true he said, just looking at the pile of paper in front of me feels like throwing up. I prop up my chin in lazy feeling, put the pen on my upper lip while pursed my lips. Focus my eyes on the pen."Want coffee?" The baritone voice interrupted my reverie. I put the pen back on the table.I lifted my head to confirm who have that voice. Rafi? Then my gaze shifted to his hand that was holding out a cup of coffee. I accepted it because I was currently thirsty.Again and again without saying much he went back, as before. Indeed, people do not like s
"You--!""Rafi," He said. He chuckled as he closed his mouth. I looked up, the light blocking my vision, I don’t even know what kind of face it was. Although I believe its belongs to Rafi’s voice."Rafi!" I confirmed once again that this person was indeed Rafi, my classmate who rarely spoke and didn't even like small talk."May I sit here?" He asked."Yes, nobody forbids anyone can sit down." He laughed after hearing what I said. Is there anything funny? I scratched the back of the nape that didn't itch."What are you doing here?" I asked curiously."That …."He pointed to the chicken satay cart. Short but clear the point. I understood then nodded."You?" He asked back."Tha- ...."I did the same thing what he do too, pointing at the chicken satay cart and speaking using that intonation.Why he looks like a different types? Rafi in the office is a very differe
Sunlight crawled through the slit of the window. I covering my head with a pillow to avoid the light. I’m still feel drowsiness, I sitting down to start a little exercise. Starting from pulling my head to the right then to left, until I heard a cracking sound, then I did the same to other limbs such as hands and waist.When finished I got up from the bed to the window. Pull the curtains and open the window. Wind of this morning hit my face and its feel cold.I took a deep breath then exhaled, I did over and over.I yawned then look at the clock on the wall of the room.And,At 9 a.m. Want to scream, but I hold it back. I ran to the bathroom, not forget to bring the towel hanging behind the door.Slightly leaned to the side and almost fell but my position was back to normal when I managed to reach the wall.HufftWith full strength ran back to the bathroom to finish the ritual bath a
"Kids are like that. They show their naughtiness just to be attention, they hate being ignored." The baritone voice startled me. Soon i looked back."Um ...." I tightened the grip on the strap of the bag. In a situation like this there was an awkward feeling ambushing.This man looked at me as usual, cold and creepy, at least that's my personal opinion. That cold gaze made my heart shrink. I was prepared the consequences of punishment if only that happened.His eyebrows knitted together, passing me by then approached the boy."This is Sean, 10 years old, he's my younger brother. Today I want you to look after him. Whatever, maybe want to hang out or play. I’ll allow everything." Those burly hands grabbed the shoulders of the boy named Sean. Soon I saw a smile on the boy.His younger brother? How many difference years they are? Why do I think that Mr. Malik is the boy's uncle? I clear my throat and closed my mouth so I couldn’t be heard when
The sky seemed blue with white clouds moving away. The wind blows coolly against the face.We just arrived at the Mall yard. Given that Sean wants to play many things there, it makes Mr. Malik unable to refuse his younger brother's request."Let's go!"I am surprised. How it must be, this boy pull my hand to follow his steps. I saw Sean doing the same with Mr. Malik's attractive hand. I glanced at the boy, seen a blush of happiness emitted on his handsome face. I'm so happy.What is this?Why everyone staring at us? And, why my cheeks are getting hot? Everyone we passed must have whispered incoherently, some of them screaming hysterically and some were staring at me.What? Where is my fault?"Uh, He really handsome, but he have a girl." Faint, but I can still hear this woman talking to her friend. The cynical gaze, was directed to me."Yes, both are beautiful and handsome, it fits."
A clearing throat sounded, make me spontaneously release hug from Arumi. Mr. Malik was standing in front of us, I looked for Sean around him but there was not. Looks like the boy is still busy playing.Daniel stood next to me, he bowed slightly in respect to Mr. Malik, as well as Arumi. I don't know why it suddenly felt as formal as in the office."Sean said he want to play with you," He said then, soon he turned back around and walked away from us. Just like that? Geez short on and clear. This is what makes office employees find it too cold and creepy.I looked one by one starting from Arumi, nervousness overtook both of them, they were not used to Mr. Malik's attitude. I thought.I said goodbye to both of them. They nodded in agreement then quickly left there. I think they are scared.That’s making me laugh.Mr. Malik was not far in front of me. Speeding up my steps, I stood behind him. As a babysitter and also an employe
The reddish sky looked dazzling to the eye, a sign that it was time to go home. We spend almost all day at the Mall. Waiting for Sean to play.Our steps just exited the lower floor elevator, walking side by side. Sean walked between us, he was in the middle.Sean rubbed his eyes for a long time. Mr. Malik, stopping Sean's hand, caught both hands and then lifted the boy into his arms."Sean, sleepy, want to go home," He muttered softly. I who was standing right next to Mr. Malik, patted the little back, trying to relax him.Sean was too excited to spend his day playing with his brother. Perhaps, for him this precious day should not be missed. Rarely do they gather like this. That's what I concluded when Sean was sulking earlier. It seems that Mr. Malik never has time to play with his younger brother because his job as CEO takes up a lot of his time.Yes, I understand how Mr. Malik feels, he must have a hard time making a choice wh
At half past nine I just finished breakfast with Mother and Alif. Mother stood carrying dirty dishes to the kitchen while I saw Alif he was sitting stretched out on the floor, his gaze focused on the many study books on the table. He is too eager to achieve goals. I smiled watching his persistence."Sister! Alif wants to be a doctor when you grow up. So you can treat other people. Then for example, you can take care of Alif and Mama, you don't have to pay. It's free ... free ... free!" said Alif a year ago, a month after Papa's departure. Alif is determined to pursue his dream of becoming a doctor. She felt guilty for not being able to do anything for Papa until the end of his life. Therefore, he has a dream of helping others who need help.Last night when I returned home, Mama got angry because I didn't give her any news from morning to night. Alif looked normal, but after I talked to her she didn't answer, she seemed angry. After I talked carefully about th
"Nada!""Yes, Mom?""Your friend came, let's go out first. You tell that you’ve got better now" Mother said from the outside this room. Without asking any more questions, I shuffled out of bed and hurriedly put on my jacket to cover my tight underwear.The door opened, Mother’s figure was gone. Maybe she going on the downstairs to make a drink for them.I peeked from above looking at the living room. Their backs looking so familiar. Arumi and Daniel they came. I carefully descended the steps, tightening the buffer, so as not to fall.They welcomed when realize my existence. Soon both of them immediately stood up for a moment after seeing me.Arumi led me to sit on the living room sofa. His eyes were fixed on my face, touched my chin then tilted it to the right then left, after which he said anxiously,"Nothing was scuffed, right?"Her ridiculous question pissed me off. She thought that I’
"Come on." He said. Mr. Malik sat next to me to make it easier to help me up. His tight hands are under my armpits, help me to stand with my own might."Just a small body, but heavy," He said sarcastically in my ear. Heavy he said? Even though a month ago my weight was only up to 55 kg. Huh? What, weight he said to me? I’m not weight any at all!I'm splashing."Sean, you just bring the bag. Bye, you just wait on the downstairs!" The boy ran quickly out of the room. W-what?So ... he left both of us?I didn't have time to stop Sean from leaving. He's gone too fast.I wanted to walk alone. But in this physical condition will not be able to hold my weight alone, besides I must go to the downstairs. Which there might get hurt. I just surrender to be helped by this ice creature.Somehow every time being alone with him like this feels awkward and clumsy. What kind of man is he, he is not good to finding conversation o
"Malik wouldn't like to bring women to home. This is the first time he brings a stranger and is happy to accept the presence of new people in this family. You must be special for Malik."Is that true? How could it be, even he often laughs to me when I get fail, also heartless, cruel, cold! It would be too much to mention it one by one. How can this woman say that I am special to Mr. Malik. That is a liest.The woman stood with her back facing the window. From behind, I saw her black hair fluttering in the wind. When my gaze turned to the photo above the nightstand. The woman turned around, walked closer to me.She touched my shoulder, led me to sit on the large bed which I guessed was her room. Large and very luxurious filled with many expensive items.My eyes couldn't stop combing the view across the room. Fortunately, this woman didn’t protest or feel uncomfortable. In this huge room, I make sure its about twice of size my room. Ther
All the way to Mahendra Family house I couldn’t get rid of this annoyance. Scowling all the way and making Mr-Slamet-the personal driver of the Mahendra family, as he introduced himself along the way, protested and laughed at my very creepy expression, he said. Let it be, what don’t know if I'm upset?I'm splashing.My gaze turned out the window. The car just entered the gate, we were greeted by the security guard I saw yesterday. He's still wearing the same clothes. I wonder, don't they change their clothes, or have another uniforms? Good question.The car stopped right in front of the garage. Mr. Slamet turned to me with a smile, I'm sure it was his code to get out and he could put the car into the garage immediately.I tightened the handle on the strap of the bag, opened the door, inched out of the car.In front of the terrace a middle-aged woman greeted me, I hurriedly greeted her. "it's arrived, Miss Nada," said
