KNITTING THE FLAKES OF LOVE
Chapter 13
Roby listened to the outpouring of his boss's heart attentively. Pram tells all the problems he is facing without covering up a bit from Roby. He believes Roby is the right person for where he confides, and he does not want to carelessly indulge in disgrace in his household.
For a moment of Roby's mind worked, it deserves almost two months he worked as an assistant Pram and back and forth to his home but never met the boss' wife. And he is not the type of person who wants to know the affairs of others, unless he is involved, then wherever possible he will try to do whatever is best.
Roby can hardly believe hearing Pram's story of his illicit relationship with Widya the secretary, leading him to abandon his family. Indeed, he was a bit suspicious to see Widya's attitude, every out of his boss' room her appearance was always disheveled and her makeup a little messy.
“I'm really sorry, Rob.” lirih Pram. “Partners and children have left home for almost two months. And my eldest daughter doesn't want to see me. My children chose to move to Solo where my in-laws are, and Citra prefers to move to an apartment. Her cold attitude has hurt my feelings.”.
Roby gawks at Pram's confession. Her watered-down brain managed to string everything together. Means Mrs Citra who became the auditor team is the mistress boss. The woman looked perfect, and she admitted she couldn't take a second's glance when she first saw her.
“I'm sorry, sir. How far have you come with Widya?” Roby asked Pram.
“I still have limits in our relationship. Indeed, I admit, all the needs and monthly spending Widya always fulfill, except for biological relationships. As long as there's no marriage bond there's no way I can do it. I'm still sane.”
“Is there no more love for your wife?” Roby suddenly kepo. He was really curious, how not the boss prefers his secretary rather than his wife who is beautiful natural with a perfect body.
Pram stunned for a moment, “That love I think is still there. Only I feel bored, because of the busyness of the two of us, so that communication between us is getting reduced.”
“How about Widya's mom? Do you really love him?”
“At first I thought Widya was able to arouse the passion of my life. But when Citra took the children away, let alone seeing Kinar so hurt I felt sad. Didn't think my actions had hurt them.”
Roby is silent listening to his boss's curses. He began to believe, Widyalah who disturbed the household of his boss. With Widya's sexy appearance and menoran makeup, and spoiled looks and speech, it is impossible that Pram did not fall with her seduction. Roby shook his head in disbelief at what he imagined by his second act. He heard Pram sighing heavily, his gaze staring far away.
“I was the one who asked Citra to stay away, because I started to commit to a serious relationship with Widya.”
Roby stunned, “You are indeed stupid, boss.” Rutuk Roby in heart, annoyed with Pram's actions.
“Maybe you think I'm stupid.”
Roby was surprised to hear the words of Pram who knew his curse. He did not dare look at Pram's face. His face covered the carpet of the mosque, like a child his mother had bought for lying.
“Then I met my wife at a public lecture yesterday, I saw her change. Everyone admired him so much. It looks interesting. And Citra has proved that without me he is capable of doing anything.” Pram gulps bitterly, “.. whereas, I am sure, when they leave the house, will definitely come back again, he said, because I used to spoil them with all the facilities and luxuries that exist. Turns out I was wrong, I can't be away from them. Let alone looking at Citra now, frankly I do not like to see men close to her.”
Roby's still listening to his boss. He did not dare to comment, enough to be a good listener, because he was sure, his boss knew what was best for him at this time.
Pram looked outside the mushala, he saw from a distance, the car carrying the lunch troupe had returned. His gaze continued to follow the auditors walking towards his office. He can see the face of Citra who is always smiling and talking to her partner. Jealousy suddenly burst into his chest. The long-lost taste is back.
He had experienced it when he saw the closeness of Citra with the chairman of BEM on their campus, even though the chairman of BEM campus was his own cousin, Anggoro. A week he sulked, until Citra managed to seduce him by inviting a romantic dinner, one thing they never did during dating, let alone the indifferent and jutek nature of Citra.
“I want to improve our relationship. I don't want anyone to have an image. She is my wife and the mother of my children. I will end my relationship with Widya.”.
“What do you mean?” Pram looked at Roby, “Do you think there is no chance for me to mend our relationship? Even if the world is against me, I will fight for the return of the integrity of our household.”
Roby smiled, “I believe you can do it. What is important is that the stock of patience must be expanded. Because bu Citra is not an arbitrary woman.”
“Don't tell me you're interested in him. She's not a young woman anymore. She is 36 years old and already has a daughter.” Pram feels Roby is insinuating him.
“If mom is interested what's wrong, because she is a woman whose charm is difficult to forget. Who the hell is able to refuse, the outward appearance is like only 25 years old.”.
“Bug!” the hard punch landing on Roby's jaw made him grimace. Didn't expect his joke to get an exaggerated response from his boss.
“I'm sorry sir. I was just kidding. I just mendo’ may Allah soon reunite the family of Pak Pram.” Roby said sincerely.
Pram was relieved to hear Roby say, “Thank you for your support. I hope from now on you help me deal with all this. And please, any work involving Widya you handle, I trust you.”
“Ready, boss.” Roby raised his hand in a respectful position, making Pram laugh a little. The weight felt lighter on his shoulders.
Pram's phone reads, a call from Widya informing him that the auditors have done their duty and will leave their office makes Pram speed up his steps followed by Roby behind him.
Without Pram and Roby knowing the clock has shown at 5 pm. The two of them had missed lunch due to the time-consuming and emotional talk of both sides. But a new hope has made Pram more excited. He believes that all families will support his decision.
Pram immediately closed the meeting and thanked him for the visit that the auditor had made at his company. Considering he hasn't had lunch yet, he offers Ridwan cs to eat together.
But the five of them did not accept the offer. And choose to end their tasks and thank you for helping the process of smoothly carrying out the task until it is completed in time.
Intrigued by Citra's residence, Pram asks Roby to follow her as the car has brought the troupe back to duty. It turned out that the five of them went straight back to the office and took their respective vehicles.
Pram was furious because he saw Citra get off the office car and boarded the car that had been opened by the man he suspected was interested in his wife. He continued to ask Roby to follow the car until entering a not too luxurious apartment on Kuningan street. Samuel immediately came down and opened the door for Citra, and it could not be separated from the sight of the two.
“Wah, this is a heavy rival boss. How mom didn't melt. I just feel flattered.” Roby smiled at the scenery not far from them.
“Plak...” Pram's burly hand hits Roby's overdue mouth.
Roby felt amused himself to see the jealousy of his boss, but there was no courage to approach Citra. “We samperin boss?” roby asked as soon as he saw Sam's car that had passed leaving Citra.
“Neventless. Enough I know where he lives. There is still time tomorrow.” interrupted Pram fast, while giving a signal for Roby immediately turn their car back.
