My Evil Lady's
Hangovers

Do you know why drinking is banned?

I know the answer now.

Liquor can turn you into not yourself. Your graceful self, your beautiful self, your clever self, your classy self, will no longer exist under the influence of alcohol.

My struggle to bring Rami's heavy drunk body home doesn't just end. After taking her out of the bar, I still had to pick up her apartment on the 15th floor. Ok there was an elevator, but still I had to carry it on my back from the parking area to the elevator and continue towards the apartment room. The incredible struggle of carrying a weight of 48 kg on the back that had never been used to lift a sack of rice before.

You could say Rami has a habit of drunk 'clean', not to let out his stomach everywhere or babbling like a madman. I was already sweating coldly as he moved, afraid that he would dirty my car. Along the way he only fell asleep, he fell asleep, although still troublesome.

I threw Rami's heavy body onto the sofa in the living room, instantly as I managed to get inside her apartment. I straightened my back that was about to break from carrying it, removing the sweat that was soaking the shirt. My appearance never survived with him. He made me work extra hard, both physically and mentally.

I let Rami lie on the sofa, while I was busy preparing his room. I almost had a heart attack when I came back from my room and found her missing. I panicked, looking all the way down to the bottom of the table even though I checked before I found it. Silly indeed, but we never know what strange things can be done by drunk people.

After a while of searching, I finally found it. He walked with his eyes still closed, while occasionally bumping into chairs and drawers. He carried a glass that seemed to want a drink that strangely did not run towards the refrigerator, but to the kitchen sink. I tilted my head, noticing what he was going to do before Rami finally turned the dishwasher water faucet.

"Hey don't drink from there. This is not Germany" I shouted as I picked up the glass that had been stuck to his lips. He almost swallowed raw water. I immediately replaced the glass in hand with a drinking bottle from the refrigerator and led it into the room.

He threw his original body onto the soft mattress. I confirmed the position of his body, carefully placing Hemp's head on a cushion. I took off a pair of shoes that were still attached to her feet and began to attach a blanket over Rami's body.

When everything felt safe, I prepared to leave until something was holding back. My fingers are related to his fingers. I was stunned, and for a moment I felt a strange sigh running through my veins. A strange sensation I had never felt before. The strange disturbing taste is not annoying.

I knelt beside the bed, watching her peaceful sleeping face, tracing each inch of her facial lines. Eyes, nose, lips are made perfect. Even the eyelashes did not betray him. God seemed to have a soft side for Rami until he created it so beautiful.

Rami is beautiful, but seeing it like this is a new experience. He was like an angel. I like his sleeping face. Breathing that moves up and down regularly. An honest and peaceful expression without trying to be tough and intimidating. I like his sleeping face because he is far from troublesome when asleep. I chuckled as I remembered how annoying he was when he came to his senses.

Today was the same day as yesterday, the same morning, the same routine, I even had breakfast with the same menu, but today it feels different. Everything looks so beautiful this morning. The flowers growing in the office courtyard, the leaves of the trees dancing in the wind, the sun shining brightly, the birds eager to chirp. Only now did I realize the beauty of all the little details I had been missing. I was too busy thinking about my busy life to miss the little things that could make me happy.

I enjoyed this morning. So excited, to forget the difficulties I might experience while in the office later. I didn't even feel upset when I remembered my fight yesterday with Rami. I decided to buy a nice cup of coffee. The coffee that I rarely buy because-in my opinion-the price is a little unreasonable for a cup of coffee. But today's an exception. I want to give my best for myself. I deserve to please myself, don't I.

I greet everyone I meet along the way. The astonished look followed my steps because it was not something I was used to, even so some of them returned my greeting with a smile. A smile, a small trivial thing, but powerful to brighten the heart of anyone who receives it.

"Aren't you happy today?" lovely comment while intercepting me before entering Rami's room. He frowned when he saw me smiling cheerfully all the way. "Is there anything good yesterday?" ask her again which I immediately refuted. He squinted his eyes, staring at my face. The worry rails were still left on the face covered in her thin makeup.

"No, nothing happened last night" I replied hurriedly. I shook my head quickly trying to shake off all of Beautiful's suspicions. "I just picked up the director and drove him home, that's all."

Beautiful mouth forms letter O without sound. "But by the way how does Brother know where the director is?" he asked with a squinting eye, as if he could pry my secret if he did.

I chuckled while showing my phone. "I've activated the gps on the director's phone, including in his car, so I can tell where the director is." Beautiful questions make me feel genius when it's not something spectacular. Since Rami was forbidden to bring his own car, I had difficulty relying only on GPS in the car, so I activated it also on Rami's phone, of course without his knowledge. I can imagine what he'd be like if he knew I touched his phone, even if only once. He would have immediately strangled me.

"Thank God then." Lovely sigh of relief and I can understand. His shoulders were not so tight. "Sister, don't ask me to take the place of your sister's duty again. I'm kapok," he lamented, putting on a sullen face while shaking his waist in front of me. A complaint that inexplicably made me laugh. "Because of yesterday, I almost cried and panicked like a madman the nights at the office. I can't sleep all night. It's my eyes." Point it at the area under his eyes that I think is fine.

"I'm sorry Beautiful, I've been troubling you. I try not to trouble you anymore. As a thank you, I've bought you your favorite coffee complete with chocolate donuts." I put a cup of coffee and a donut box in front of his eyes. A bribe that automatically changed his pouting face to bright again. I chuckled as he quickly snatched my bribe.

"This time Brother I'm sorry, but for the next I don't want just a cup of coffee and donuts" he replied, making me laugh more amusedly. "Oh yeah, one more thing. Please ask for approval from the director huh Kak?" she asked while looking at me with a glare. I was amazed by a creature called a girl. A second ago he was so jaim, uh the next second they easily changed expression with a glazed look and teary eyes. "I'm afraid, it doesn't seem like the director is as happy as Brother," he explained as he pushed a business file at me. I had no chance to resist because Indah had already rushed back to her desk.

I slowly opened the door to Rami's room, and I knew straight away why Indah did not dare to enter. Rami placed his head on his wide wooden table. The usual hemp was intimidating enough and now coupled with the hangover Rami of course it was enough to make their guts shrink. The last thing they wanted to do today was tease Rami.

The forehead is facing down, attached to the glass that lines the surface of the table. He let his slightly wavy long hair spread out, covering the table. His hands were also on the table. He's really fucked up.

I frowned when I saw it was so scary. He barely moved at all like a dead man. "Are you okay, Director?" I hesitated while putting my favorite coffee on the table. Bringing her favorite coffee has become one of the mandatory tasks every morning as her PA. Not to forget also I put a beautiful document in front of him.

Rami shook his weak head without bothering to lift it. "My head is still dizzy?"

"Should I buy you some medicine?" tumben was kind to her.

Once again Rami shook his head. "I've brought this." He showed me a bottle full of water containing slices of lemon and honey sitting next to him.

"Thank God then. You have a general meeting with the factory managers today." I read out his schedule which was instantly answered with a loud groan.

"Why are you so cruel? Can't we just drop the meeting or let me be absent this time." Rami raised his head suddenly making me gasp. His face was pale with slightly red and watery eyes, almost making me not recognize his usual figure of perfect appearance.

I put my phone in. "If I could. This meeting is also to introduce you as a new financial director to the entire factory. I'm not telling you to go out for a drink at the beginning of the week. My show was also broken because of you," my elak who I didn't realize sounded blame for it even though my voice was slowly disappearing.

Rami is singing lips. "Who asked for a date at the beginning of the week," she replied as she placed her head back on the table. This time he folded both hands on the table, making a headboard. He still seems lazy to serve me.

"That's not a date," I'm quick to reply with a flick of a hand, as if saying that he doesn't care at all. "You still mad at me?" I tried as carefully as I could when bringing up that sensitive topic. A topic that worked to get me and my boss into a big fight yesterday. I can't believe that until now I haven't received a call from the HRD, a call for a job termination.

Rami raised his head again. "You think I'll just forgive him? The brash PA who even dared to call his own boss?" he said, squinting his eyes, trying to penetrate my brain. He folded his hands in front of his chest this time leaning his body against the back of his soft brown chair. His sharp gaze, not letting go of any of my movements, made me misbehave in front of him.

I was shaking as if something was stuck in my throat. "I know I'm wrong, I wouldn't mind if you fired me." I've been thinking about this all night.

I've prepared myself to accept the worst consequences of my out of control attitude yesterday. As thick as Rami is, he's still my boss. He has the power to pay me.

First it will be hard and difficult, but I still have savings to finance living needs and debt installments until I get a new job. I still have the confidence to be accepted in another company even though I am not sure I will get a salary as big as this company.

Hemp narrowed his eyes more and more, more and more into my eyeballs. Trying to read some foul stratagem let alone one I'm trying to plan. His eagle eyes looked at me for a long time, making me even more uncomfortable.

"Why should I fire you?" he relaxed without letting go of his sharp gaze from me. A slight smile developed on my lips before he continued his words. "I hate you so much that firing just won't be enough. I'll keep you working for me and I'll really make your life so miserable" she threatened, making me have to lower my lip line - which was raised - and painstakingly gulp. His eyes and lips smiled satisfied with the threat he was making. Seems being fired could be a more bearable punishment.

I can't imagine what he would do to me. He's made me run, scream, act like a lunatic, and that's not enough? Certainly not for Rami.
