Andrea wiped her tears, trying to answer Felix's question.
"Yeah, I'm on my way. I am sorry, Felix, I forgot it," said Andrea.
Felix sounded hissing. He seemed annoyed by Andrea's answer.
"I'll just wait at the shop," Felix said.
"Oh well, Felix. I'll be right there."
Felix turned off his phone. Andrea rushed to the bus stop. Luckily the bus arrived soon. She immediately got on the bus and headed for the clothes shop Felix was aiming for.
In less than twenty minutes, Andrea arrived, and she immediately ran towards the shop in question.
"I'm sorry. I have important business," Andrea said breathlessly.
Felix seemed to raise his eyebrows and glanced at Andrea.
"You smell of drink? Did you drink last night when I was gone?" Felix asked as if interrogating Andrea.
"Eh ..." Andrea looked confused to answer Felix. There was no way he could tell Felix what had happened to him.
"Come on, let's go inside," Felix said, a little annoyed.
"Okey," answered Andrea.
They then walked into an office clothing store. Andrea picked out some work clothes for Felix.
Felix tried several times, but he didn't seem to like it.
"Okay, it's up to you which one you want," said Andrea.
Felix smiled. He then chose a suit attached to the dummy. And indeed the case is very nice.
"Excuse me, I want this one," Felix said to the saleswoman.
"This one, sir? All right, I'll get it," said the saleswoman.
Andrea smiled as Felix looked happy to buy the suit. She is satisfied. The man she loves will soon become a successful person.
"Are you so happy?" Andrea asked, holding Felix's arm.
"Of course. My dream will soon come true," Felix said.
"I'm happy when you're happy," Andrea said as she left Felix to the cashier to pay for Felix's choice of clothes.
Even though in her heart, she was very confused because of the actions of Felix's friends last night.
Felix didn't know Bruno and Rendy were that bad. What if they tell Felix? Will Felix defend her or be ashamed of her?
"The total is five million and fifty thousand rupiahs. It includes taxes," said the cashier.
"What? Five million?" Andrea was surprised to hear the cashier's words.
"Yes, this clothing has a fairly good quality. The price is not too high compared to other brands," said the cashier.
Andrea looked confused. She looked at his mobile banking application. The balance of her savings is only ten million.
"How about, Sis? Do you want to use a credit card or cash?" asked the cashier.
Andre sighed and tried to smile. "Just a credit card. I pay it in six months," said Andrea.
"Okay, Sis," said the cashier.
Andrea finished the transaction, then brought the clothes and handed them to Felix, still looking at the other garments.
"When are you leaving for work?" Andrea asked.
"Um, maybe next month. I still have to do one more test interview," Felix answered.
"Hmm, okay. Let's go home. I'm so tired," said Andrea.
"Where were you all night?" Felix asked.
"I'm at Silvy's house," Andrea lied.
Felix frowned. But he didn't say anything.
****
Felix is already neat with his clothes. He got a job offer from a government agency. But he never told Andrea.
Andrea only knew that she was enrolled in a large private company as an ordinary employee.
"Excuse me. I got a call to work here. Can I meet Mr. Bambang Sujatmiko?" Felix said in the information section.
The information officer looked at Felix from top to bottom. It was as if his eyes were ready to search every inch of Felix.
"Wait a minute," replied the female officer. He then gave a journal to Felix.
"Fill out this guest list first. Then wait fifteen minutes there. If there is no call, wait until someone calls from the room there," said the officer, pointing to a closed room.
In front of the room, there was a waiting chair in which there were also anxious-looking people waiting.
"Okay," Felix answered while filling out the guest book. After that, he rushed to the waiting chair.
Felix waited a long time with several people. Although not much. But the distance from one person to another is quite long. There are even up to two hours.
"What kind of interviews have been this time?" Felix grumbled while looking at the watch that Andrea had bought.
"Ah!" A woman's scream startled the room.
Felix turned in the direction of the voice. Looks like a beautiful woman wearing office clothes.
"So beautiful," Felix muttered.
The woman accidentally dropped the drink she was carrying. He was surprised that the glass hit his expensive-looking shoes.
"I'll get the mayor's mother again," said a man behind him.
''Mayor? That beautiful woman is the Mayor? How could I not know?'' Felix muttered to himself.
Either because of the close distance or out of sympathy. Felix suddenly took out a handkerchief and wiped the beautiful Mayor's shoes.
"Hey, don't!" said the woman kindly.
"It's okay. Your shoes will be damaged if exposed to water," Felix said while cleaning the beautiful Mayor's shoes.
On the badge, the woman's name is written with the name Karlina Ayu Septiyani. Felix felt unfamiliar with that name. Hasn't the Mayor changed yet? But why doesn't he know that this woman is the Mayor?
"Sorry if I'm being rude," said Felix.
"Oh no, I thank you. Sorry, I'm in a hurry," said the woman named Karlina.
"Yes," replied Felix.
Karlina and several of her aides stepped into her room.
Felix watched her from behind. He was amazed to see how beautiful and graceful the Mayor was.
"Since when is the mayor of this city a woman?" Felix mumbled confusedly.
It wasn't long before Felix entered the interview room. Inside he was asked about many things.
There are many requirements for his name to enter a government agency. Moreover, he was just someone who was inexperienced and had just graduated from college.
"Thank you, Mr. Felix. Wait for news from us via email. If within two weeks there is no email from us. Then it means you have fallen in the selection this time," said one of the interviewers.
"Well, thank you for the limit of the opportunity given to me," said Felix.
***
Unlike Felix, who is eager to reach the future. Andrea slumped in her simple house.
She couldn't stop crying, regretting what had happened to her.
"What did I do wrong? Why did this happen to me? I disgust myself!"
You might even hear the sound of her crying from outside the room if someone else was there.
Unfortunately, she lives alone. Andrea's parents don't know where. Since childhood, she lived in this house alone.
"Arrgh," Andrea clutched the base. She had been holding her breath since she was with Felix this morning. She tried to get out of bed to go to the bathroom. Her body was battered. What did they do to her?
The ringing of Andrea's cell phone startled her. She hastily picked it up.
"Hello," said Andrea.
"Is this Miss Andrea Kuncoro's number?"
"Yes?" Andrea looked confused by a voice she didn't recognize.
"Is it true that you work at the Cendana salon?"
"Yes, that's right?" Andrea answered, confused.
"We'd like to file a complaint because our boss developed a rash around his neck after treatment at your salon."
Andrea did not understand what the person on the phone said. How can she be the one to complain?
"Why did you call me? You can call the salon. I'm just doing my job. All kinds of cosmetics are issued with the salon's permission."
"Sorry, the salon said they are not responsible because you are responsible for your customers."
"Oh My God."
***
Andrea ran while holding the pain in the base of her body. She came to an apartment.
A man opened the apartment door. Andrea tried to be friendly to the person.
"I'm Andrea Kuncoro," Andrea said kindly.
"Come, please!" said the man coldly.
Andrea looked confused. She did not understand why she had to enter an apartment to receive complaints from customers.
Entering the apartment, Andre was treated to luxurious rooms that spoiled her eyes.
"Sorry, where are the customers who are going to complain?"
"Sit down, please!" said the big tall man with a handsome face. But he didn't smile at Andrea at all.
Andrea sat in the living room. She was confused and suddenly the man threw the files in front of Andrea.
"W-what does this mean?"
"A letter of claim," said the man
"A lawsuit? Just the wrong hair dye? Sorry, where's the customer you're referring to. I've never dealt with you!" shouted Andrea, who felt that something was wrong.
"Are you the lover of Felix Ardhinata?" asked the person without any expression.
"Felix? What's wrong with Felix?" Andrea started to panic because the man suddenly mentioned Felix's name.
"Your lover is a stooge of one of the great officials of this country. And you must know something about him."
Andrea couldn't believe what this man said. She didn't understand. So far, Felix is just an intelligent student at a university who is trying his luck applying for a job at a company.
"Looks like you've been lied to by your lover," said the stranger.
