Chapter 24 - 24 Young and Beautiful

When Liza and I were chatting with our laptops and files piled up on the table, we were surprised by Mr. Sapto__one of our company's security guards running with fast steps and then entering Arman's office, calling Arman and who knows what to talk about?,

basically they seemed to be talking, then I saw again the two of them immediately left the room and walked together hand in hand to the front room while still chatting, it raised questions in me because so far Arman rarely chats with Mr. Sapto, almost never, they the two of them also passed in front of my room, seen from the wide open door I looked at the two, because in my heart I harbored curiosity, I said goodbye to Liza to follow them both for a moment,

Arman walked with Mr. Sapto to the front room, usually the front room is the living room, are there guests looking for Arman? just a customer or his family? I continued to walk along the former path that the two of them passed slowly so as not to arise suspicion, I stopped my steps when I was close to the arena I was going to, the usual place to receive and serve guests, I peeked and glanced, I was shocked! there was a young girl.

The figure of a girl, she stood staring at Arman without blinking at all, I felt like there was a turbulence in my chest, I tried to eavesdrop because I also wanted to know what topic they took?, the long straight hair and bangs, I highlighted with fixed eyes. "Oh my gosh!!!! isn't she Ayu? Rahayu, Arman's neighbor in Yogya? Who ever gave her porridge? What is she doing in Surabaya? Why are you looking for Arman? Her appearance is neat, her hair still loose in the wind looks swaying but her dress is now more elegant by wearing beautiful shoes and a carrying bag.

He gave a box to Arman, I don't know what box, like food supplies or what's in it, I don't know, I'll ask him later. The girl was not alone with beside her there was a man who was rather old, with a black mustache decorated with fine gray hair, as well as his hair, tall and thin with a simple yet ordinary appearance. The three of them sat there, there was jealousy in my heart for the girl, is she again?, Arman seemed familiar with the two, laughing and the girl was repeatedly embarrassed by her smile that I can say is sweet.

huh!!, just like this I'm jealous, especially if there is another girl who will shift my position in Arman's heart, no!!!. Arman can't love other girls besides me, I hate my position __ I'm stuck, you can't have it, I hate that tears always fall every time I don't get bored, never mind ... I don't want to peek at them for long, what's there is getting tighter in my chest, later I'll just ask him so that there is a meeting point.

I slowly left their meeting room to return to my desk, no longer wanting to burden my heart about my preconceived notions, I only polluted my mind with bad things.

I walked down the porcelain floor, only the sound of my loafers making a "clack" to the sound of my heart. blank and wondering stares kept going around in my head.

I entered my room, without making a sound and without greeting, I sat there pensively,

"Where are you Nez?" Suddenly Liza startled my daydream. "I'm from following Arman, he met people in the living room." I answered while lowering my face, "why do you look like this? It's like you've seen a ghost?" Liza said as she studied my face, watching her closely get closer.

"What I see is more than Liz's ghost" I said startling Liza instantly. "You mean? ghosts during the day? More than ghosts?" he immediately wanted to know.

"Arman, a young girl Liz visited, with her father in front, I know that girl is Arman's neighbor, their childhood friend. When I was in Yogyakarta last time, she went to Arman's house to share porridge, I became jealous Liz" Liza immediately grabbed my hand, gripped it tightly to strengthen me. "Don't be suspicious first, you'll ask him later, everything will be fine? Calm yourself down dear. I'll help you find out what he means here? Why are you looking for Arman," Liza explained calming me down.

I'm a little relieved because there is support from him,

I repeatedly peeked at the door, there wasn't any through my Arman, I looked around waiting for him to say something about Ayu, Liza was no less curious as she followed behind me.

I got up from my seat, I walked here and there like a confused person. Now! there he is, it seems from a distance he has stepped out of the living room towards me, I can't wait to ask that.

"Arman!!" I shouted a little hoarsely wet because I had cried earlier,

running I directed myself to Arman because I couldn't wait to hear the news "Arman what's wrong he's looking for you?" I asked while holding my hand and squeezing his fingers which were bigger than mine as an expression that I was jealous, Liza also peeked beside the door to know my conversation.

"Si Ayu and her father came from the village this morning, he got a call to work in Surabaya, so he wants to work in this city," said the honest man in front of me. Ayu? want to work in this city? why should he look for work in another city? isn't it far from her hometown?, after all, a woman alone? Why was he given a permit to work in another city?, Was his father not worried, thousands of questions and worries wanted me to come out of my brain, but couldn't. she will become Arman's dependents, she will be closer to Arman.

Arman handed the lunch box to me, he said it was from Ayu and he didn't want to open it let alone eat it, he said I can share it with anyone or can take it home, in the end I just shared it with Liza, I also didn't want to open or eat it.

I really doubt that the woman named Rahayu only intends to work here, there must be an intention who knows what it is.

Arman took me and put his arm around my shoulder while giving a sweet smile because he knew my strange attitude, appeared because of the fire of jealousy. He was brought by his father Ayu to the city of Surabaya to work three more days, automatically takes time to get to know this city? it's impossible not, it must be Arman who will be asked by his father to help deliver him? Unfortunately, so that he can rest, because he just arrived from a long trip, Arman's rented key is asked by him and his father, Arman will find the girl a boarding house or rented too, and after that their closeness can not be avoided anymore? while I ... have definitely left Arman's heart and life sooner or later__like it or not_like it or not.

Rahayu, will he who is present here fill Arman's life after me?, I am not willing and not sincere, even though I have become someone else's property by force. Arman can't have a relationship with Rahayu!! Point!!!
