- If I'm cute like this, why are you so clumsy?-
This morning I had to go to campus, meet several members of the organization, to deliver a report that I had brought home before doing my internship at Dana office. Because it was too early to go to campus, I also arrived early at the office. It's still very quiet, only my own car is still neatly displayed in the parking lot.
After ensuring a neat and attractive appearance, my 7-inch heels collided with ceramics, oh, it turns out that there are already janitors who are enthusiastic about sweeping and mopping the room here.
I greeted and wished them good morning, and as a result they were more friendly to me. Unlike the seniors inside, they even often gossip about me because Dana is too spoiled. Did I not ask? If you find out, a few days ago, he accompanied Dana to a meeting, both of them in the same car, invited to meet his Mother and younger siblings, the cubicle room could shake violently.
What are the benefits of gossiping? No dollars, right?
My eyes narrowed, making sure that Dana's room was inhabited. I walked closer and closer, my eyes narrowed.
"Oh, Dana?" I muttered to myself, even the man's car wasn't in the parking lot. Why is the person already in the office?
He seemed to focus on the computer screen, occasionally massaging his neck which I can tell, is very sore. Is he staying at the office?
Time? The door to my room opened, he looked at me and I was the other way around.
He wasn't surprised at all, instead he gave a deadly smile again.
"Morning, i think you over come speed." he asked, leaning back in his chair and placing his hands on his head.
"Actually, it's too early, spend the night here?"
I looked at him seriously, approaching his desk. "Yes, coincidentally there is an important meeting this morning. Lazy to get stuck in traffic, the project they offer is very interesting and profitable, if suddenly i am unprofessional, it's in vain." The details are detailed, even though I didn't ask that, you know.
"Yes, but until you sleep here? You definitely haven't taken a shower." Somehow, I got attention. Oh no, Muna.
"How can you have a meeting with your body untouched by water, if you enter my room, you will be surprised because it is too neat and smells good. You are not a dirty man, you know."
My lips pursed, leaning against the wall staring into his face. Maybe that's how it is.
"Sit down, tired of standing all the time. Your legs will cramp you know." Him pointed the chair at me.
I shook my head. "I haven't been here long, I just want to make sure, is this room a person or a demon."
" It turns out?"
" Both." I replied triumphantly. And, he wasn't offended at all.
Oh my goodness, Mr. Dana. Why are you laughing so loud? I'm really annoyed, as soon as I remember a mission that hasn't been completed for a while, I'm going to work on it this morning.
" Before I leave the room. Can I replace Ms Vayuna's role or not? Just five minutes."
"Which role?" His looked at me confused.
"Well, isn't it Ms Vayuna also wears you tie every morning? Besides going to accompany you to meetings too. Even though it's enough to arrange a meeting schedule, that's what I know as a secretary's job."
"Oh, you wants to put on a tie. Yes, it's in the drawer." He flashed a faint smile.
I moved to the drawer, took the tie to my liking. What I'm sure is looking for the least interesting, so that Dana is annoyed but has no control to stop me.
Plain red tie, quite worn and never looked like it was worn.
"I like this one, do you like it?" I showed him, standing in front of Dana.
" This one?" For a moment he looked at me, briefly at the tie in my hand. A lopsided smile is clearly printed on my lips, well, wear it now, Dana. Break even us.
"Yes, I like this. I want you to wear this one."
" Na..." He grabbed my arm.
"Why? Is it from someone you love or care about you?" I said pretending to be disappointed.
"Yes, it could be said like that." He took a deep breath.
"Then, if I use it, you still don't want it?"
" Na, this red tie is a gift from your Mother. When your Mother got married for the second time, this tie was also owned by Zeo, from your Mom. We agreed not to wear it. You can choose any tie. for me, but not this one, okay?" Him explanation made my throat dry, I nodded and turned around.
Go back to the drawer then swap for another tie.
STATE WEDDING
My slender fingers moved slowly, smoothing the tie that was wrapped around Dana collar. Without looking into his eyes, I finished my current work. "Don't cry, Na, i doesn't ask you to cry, when you enter this room." His soft voice soothes me.
" Yes." My reply was short.
" You want to join meeting again?" It keeps the spirit alive.
"No," I shook my head.
" Why?"
"I don't want to be thought about by seniors, what I see, Ms Vayuna is attracted to you, later she can get jealous."
"Don't conclude someone's attitude that easily, Na. She's my secretary, if she close it's normal, it's just a co-worker."
"Anything more than that?"
"Yes, that's his right. It's not the other way around."
" She is beautiful."
"You are more than beautiful."
"Apparently, yes. Oh yes, she's also smart and interesting, friendly and good at socializing. That's right for you."
"But he never accompanied me, met Mother. You are more than the explanation earlier."
"Because you never took she there, please introduce yourself too, maybe I was yesterday, it's nothing."
"What do you have to take her there for?"
"Then why did you take me there yesterday?"
"Because you want to."
He won.
" Dana!" I screamed, hitting his chest with emotion and exasperation.
"Oh." He winced, teaching clutching his chest in pain. I panicked to find Dana's current attitude.
" Dana. Sorry, really sick?" I rubbed his chest worriedly.
I see, Dana eyes are closed. Oh God, if Dana had a history of heart disease, then his life was lost here. What's my fate?
"Sir, let's go to the doctor." I sat by his side. His chest was beating fast, now, it's my turn to have a heart attack. He is the son of someone, has mother who love him very much. If you find out, there is a girl who is nobody, actually injuring Dana. I could be in danger.
" I'm worried you know. Come on, go to the doctor." Make me panic, my voice is almost crying.
"You made something i guarding hurt here, Na." His head rested.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you had a heart problem. So, come on, go to the doctor." I tried to pull his hand out of the room.
"Here," he pointed to the chest that I hit earlier." There is your name, Muna Syabila. No one should beat her, including the one with a name. I takes care so she doesn't get hurt."
I choked on hearing that answer, not long until I coughed. Dana stood up, took a breath and packed the meeting files into the bag.
"Na, I have left a message for you for Vayuna. She doesn't need to follow me at the meeting, okay?"
" Why?" I answered while holding tight in my chest.
"Yes, you said the secretary's job was only to arrange the meeting schedule."
"You see, Dana. I wasn't serious. Don't apply it in the office either." I pulled the back of his shirt. Instantly he turned around.
"Well, that's what you want? Well, to be honest, i can't be alone in a room like this, only with you. I am a normal man."
"Who said crazy?"
"But i can be crazy if you are like this, unless you are willing to be my wife. You can't feel it, because you are not a man's instinct." His voice was earnest and I was exactly the kind of person who had just woken up, was gathering souls to fully awaken.
His demeanor was normal for my treatment earlier, but he hid his awkwardness as neatly as possible. Yes, Dana is amazing. After him left the room, I still calmed myself down for about five minutes.
My legs are weak, sometimes Dana makes my heart too messed up. Wife? What - what the hell, how could I want to be his wife. Not! When my feet stepped out, I already found the seniors in the cubicle, including Ms Vayuna.
"Oh, Muna? Why did you enter Mr Dana room?" The woman looked at me in surprise.
" I think Mr Dana are in the room, I want to ask for an autograph."
"What signature?" His gaze was suspicious.
"The completeness of the files for my thesis, Miss, that's all." I answered half don't care, "I'm going back to the cubicle." My face is really sluggish.
"Oh I see, where is Mr Dana? Has anyone come to the office?"
I nodded "Yes, Miss. Mr Dana left a message earlier, he said you don't need to follow the meeting."
"Does that mean you've met him?"
"Wait a minute, I'm not staying long, he's not in the room anymore." My words are full of lies. I hope Ms Vayuna is not jealous or suspicious.
" I'll just tell you later, if you need his signature. Do you want to leave it, Muna?"
" Oh, you don't have to, Miss. This is an important file from campus, I'll be distraught later."
" Okay." Miss Vayuna returned to her desk and I could breathe a sigh of relief.
Luckily, Ms Vayuna didn't ask a lot of questions, because the last two days, I didn't come to the office, I caught a cold and had a fever due to being hit by a drizzle in front of the office with Dana. I took the cellphone that I didn't have time to turn on at home, when it turned on, there was Akasy name and a new number that sent me a message.
Akasy🖤 : Muna, are you busy?
+6282175401212 : Good morning and have a good day at my office, Muna. Make sure not to be productive on other people's work, remember, you just recovered.🍃
I laughed a little reading a message from Dana, for the first time there was him on the chat screen.
Muna Syabila: You too, the spirit of the meeting this morning. Good luck hockey.😌
The reply I sent has been read, how fast is that? I also took the initiative to save the contact and I named Dana.
Dana : I am too soon at the meeting location, it should be 11 o'clock.
I looked at my watch, it was still 07.45 o'clock. I laughed out loud alone.
Muna Syabila: why were you in a hurry?
Dana : After you, make a my heart exercise.
Muna Syabila: Then what are you doing there?
Dana: Reply to your message.😆😆
Muna Syabila : O.
Dan: So cranky, don't keep on sulking.
Muna Syabila: Yes, I have a lot of work.
Dana : You're the boss right, don't you think there are more interns than the boss? Just say you don't want to chat with me, right?🤗
Muna Syabila: Yups, that's right.😏
Unfortunately, he only read my messages. That means the message stopped at me, right? Truly, Dana Anugrah is such an annoying person!
TBC.
