Seniors who don't like it, take a sharp dive, please.
I stretched my arms, plopped down on the soft sofa. Today was tiring, not because of work. No, but because of the slanted talk circulating, I don't know where it came from. How can I be called Dana mistress, who is the spreader of the gossip?
I turned my head back, it was sister Ciki who walked up to me.
" Any problem? Just got back from work." She trying to cheer me up when I'm in a bad mood." What else are Dana doing at the office?"
I shook my head." No, Dana just like that. As usual, it's the employees who are jealous of me."
"How are you jealous?" Her responded to my words patiently.
"You know, I'm usually rumored to be Dana mistress. My reputation isn't that good." I complained annoyed.
"Oh, how come? Where did you hear it from?"
"From their mouths directly." I replied holding back annoyance half to death.
"Have you told Dana?"
"Not yet, but I'm very sure. Him also heard the news, one office already gossiped about me with him this is over. I was branded involved in a scandal with the boss of the apprenticeship."
Sis Ciki patted me on the shoulder. "That's not the case, don't worry. After all, Dana is not a kind of boss, she doesn't even have a partner, let alone a mistress.
"Well, that's it, Sis.I forgot to tell you and my brother. Yesterday I came back late, because I stopped by Dana's house. Dana was so weak, afraid happened with him. I held myself back at him house for a long time. Cooked food for him and made ginger water. Apparently someone saw my car there and I fell asleep in the house. When I was about to go back, his said It's still raining outside. Uh, you know we both fell asleep in the living room." My utterance without my cover at all.
She face clearly showed shock and disbelief at the same time.
"Seriously Na?"
I nodded. " Very serious, isn't it dangerous?"
"Yes, it's dangerous. How are you. That Dana didn't say something to you?"
"No," I shook my head again. "After all, nothing happened, Sis We both fell asleep, it's a different sofa anyway."
Her heaved a sigh of relief." I thought you two slept on the same sofa, you are not married yet. If Dana were your husband, would you like it or not?"
I quickly shook my head. "No, I don't want to be him wife. Afraid."
"Why are you afraid?"
" He's the type of person who is a perfectionist, it can be messy if I become his wife. The war continues every day." I said realistically, "we are like two souls bounded by many differences."
"But Dana is an understanding person, you really know that kid from college."
"Yeah, so what if you know? No, Sis. I don't want to be Dana Wife. After all, my husband hasn't allowed me to marry yet."
I still insist on rejecting her matchmaking.
"Who said your can't let you marry? If the man is full of responsibility, he'll definitely give you the door. Instead of you being upset with the lover over there, he doesn't necessarily think about you, Na."
"And I'm not that bad as a woman." I closed my eyes, "even though Akasy is annoying, often without news, I understand the position that is being restrained by his parents."
"Well, now. I don't agree with your opinion. Na, you are about to graduate from college, come on, think be smart. He just can't be himself, that means the possibility of living with you is very slim. He has an important role for parents , you are the umpteenth time in fact whether you consider it or not. Supposedly, your lover has two times between your responsibilities to your parents and your partner. Yes, even though you are not yet a wife, but your ultimate goal is to get married. That commitment is built on two trusts from humans, isn't it? each one like this." Her taught me.
I was silent hearing her words, yes, that's true. Akasy and I seemed to have no end in this relationship.
STATE WEDDING
I hope my internship will end soon. There is no mistaking the words of friends who have interned here. Dealing with seniors who are hurtful, pretentious, and turning their apprentices into slaves takes a toll on both body and soul.
One month ahead, I have to endure for mental strength to be in Dana's company.
"Hit the wall, be careful."
My eyes turned to the side, it was Dana " Yes." My answer is cool, not excited.
" Rumor that has no source, don't listen to it, just let it go, Na." Dana understands my current anxiety.
"But it's too much to know, when I was called your mistress. What is there, who has a crush on me." I grumbled, glaring at him.
"I'm sorry, what can I do. It's impossible for you to keep the mouths of that many employees silent. The most accurate way is to turn a deaf ear."
"We? It's all alone, I can't. It's better, finish my internship here, get the results of my internship out quickly. I can leave this company. It's really difficult for your employees, just like the boss." I said fiercely.
Him didn't answer, but his eyes glared at me.
" Why?" I asked a little sarcastically.
"Does it have to be like that, they hurt you to the point of comparing me too?" His face was serious.
" You should have taken steps, giving a warning letter or something. Let them know themselves."
"And coincidentally there is no such regulation in my company."
"That's why gossip is a big sin." I started preaching, "Do you really want to bear the sins of your employees for gossiping?"
"All the rumor is on their own consciousness, Na, they are no longer children and are not the main influence. Can you keep their mouths shut from telling things at the office? Isn't it? Maybe i am is also often gossiped about, often goes with Vayuna, up to a car and sometimes comes home late at night because of an impromptu meeting. So far it's been fine, because me never cares and Vayuna is also very stupid."
"In that case, the one who should be your mistress, is that Vayuna." My tone rose slightly, "I have a boyfriend, remember, I'm not pathetic single like you."
"Ha ha, just a lover. Not necessarily he will marry you, if in the end he chooses to leave you, how?!"
The atmosphere became a little hot, I saw that Dana was also not happy to hear what I said earlier.
"What is certain is that my fate is not as sad as yours, oh, I forgot. You've never felt the love of a partner, it's only natural to be sensitive." My lips are emotional.
"Why is there a partner, it's clear that being alone is a sin, in itself it's not bad for humans to see, Muna. In fact, there are many rewards." After finishing his speech, Mas Dana left me without feeling guilty.
"Shh!" I chuckle in annoyance, staring at the man's body like prey that I must swallow alive.
I breathed up and down irregularly, my chest rising and falling holding the emotions in my chest.
"You stupid old man. Just tell me you are thirsty for love." My emotional chatter.
Starting today, the war flag between Dana and I has been flying in the office yard. I will no longer let us engage in conversations like recently, remember that, Mas Dana.
You just swallow the bitter taste of being ignored by Muna Syabila, this woman you are crushing on. After calming down enough, I stepped foot into the room. I can already guess, how disapproving stares from employees around.
Geez, as an intern, I feel really wronged. But my steps must remain calm, just ignore that I am not Dana's mistress. Just so you all know, we just got into a war at the front because of some cheap gossip.
"Muna, this is the new deadline, Mr. Dana. Please arrange it." Ms Vayuna ordered, giving me a faint smile.
"Wow, should me, Miss?" I objected, "It's something else, apart from those dealing with you. Input your recap, or copy a working copy or whatever, Miss. It's okay to make tea too." I said refuse.
"Why? Do you really want to be given a job like that?"
I nodded firmly. "I'd rather be busy in the pantry than be accused of being Mr. Dana mistress, my name is already bad here."
"It's okay Na, they are a little too much."
"But there is evidence circulating, without me having to tell Ms. Vayuna also knows. I don't know who the culprit is, I'm really curious and also annoyed."
"Well, it's not good to have to curse early in the morning. I ask for your input on employee attendance for the last two months, OK, so let Mr Dana work on my deadline." I nodded in agreement, even though it was hard to accept his order earlier. In the last two months, with hundreds of employees, how much can I minus my eyes?
TBC.
