The End of Long
The Part 10

I just glanced at my phone ringing a second time this afternoon. I actually wanted to pick up the phone from Clouds, but from last night I didn't know what was going through my mind. I was trying not to expect much from the Clouds because I was afraid that I would be disappointed by the fact that the Clouds already had someone next to them. I continue my work even though my focus is now divided for the Clouds.

Not long after my office phone rang. "Hello good afternoon, with Chalika Andria there. "have not had time to finish my words I heard the clouds have shouted on the phone.

"Oh my goodness, Chacha, it's so hard to contact us today"

"Sorry sir my phone is silent so I don't listen. Can I help you sir?" I tried to talk formally even though it was actually a bit difficult because I already knew who the Cloud was.

"Udah Cha don't be kidding"

"Sorry Sir"

"Chacha it's I'm a cloud, you don't know my voice"

How could I not know him, only last night I cried in your arms Awan.

"Yes sir I know"

"Micha!" he sounds upset. But right now I'm not joking with him. I'm just trying to put myself in this office. "Cha I'm really angry that you're like this"

"Sorry sir, but is there anything I can help you with"

"Cha I want to talk to Chacha I'm not Chalika's employee Mr. Robby!"

"But you're on the phone at the office"

"OK now I'll call your phone" I haven't had time to ask him not to call on my phone phone has been disconnected. Instead of my phone ringing back, I hesitated to lift it up. But I also don't want to disappoint the Clouds.

"Yes hello"

"Ow you finally picked up too"

"Yes what's wrong?" I'm a little flat.

"Cha from the morning I called you but it wasn't picked up, my message you haven't read I'm really worried to know"

"Sorry my silent coincidence also I'm a lot of work" I tried to give an excuse to the Clouds. And since this morning I found out that he called me from before I left for the office. I'd love to talk to you but on the other hand the fear always shows up.

"Have you eaten?" ask the Cloud

"Not yet"

"I'm sorry I can't let you eat, because right now I have some work outside"

"No pa kok"

I'm surprised suddenly Mr. Andre is already standing in front of my desk "When you haven't eaten? We eat together yuk" asked Mr. Andre. "Oh you're on the phone, sorry" he said as he left my desk. I saw him walking to his desk.

"That's who" asked the Cloud again.

"Sir Andre"

"You eat together often?"

"Not really"

"Yes I closed first Cha, later in the afternoon I pick you up home"

"It doesn't seem like I'm overtime today" I lied to reject Awan's request.

"I'm not waiting for you to finish"

"No need..."

"A little while" The clouds cut me off again before I could turn them down. Because I heard someone came up to him, and said that he could get in now. After Awan assures the person, excuse me to leave the Cloud.

"Today I have a comment outside, pray for me Cha" said Awan.

"Yes, good luck"

"It was Cha, it was called. Don't forget that I picked him up later in the afternoon" I haven't turned down his offer yet. "Cha" heard a heavy voice, then he was silent for a moment. "Cha is happy eating" but this time the intonation is different from the previous one.

"Thank you" that's all I can say before I hang up.

Seeing me finished calling Mr. Andre came back to me "Who's calling earlier? Your girlfriend, huh?"

"Not Sir, buddy"

"Chick or boy?"

I'm not good at answering Mr. Awan's question "Cowok Sir"

"Surely he likes you, yes" Mr. Andre started flirting.

"We're eating now" asked Mr. Andre

"Sorry sir, I still have something to do. You eat first"

"If I don't really like eating alone, then you'll continue again"

"But sir I do not feel good with other employees if too often with Mr. Andre. Afraid they think that is not-nothing about our relationship" I finally conveyed what was on my mind all this time.

"Why should you think about the opinions of others. Even if we have a relationship, we don't hurt them"

"Maybe Mr. Andre thinks like that because you are my boss, but not with me. I don't want them to assume I'm approaching my boss"

"There's no harm in Lika approaching me, Lika is not married nor am I"

"It's just that I feel distracted by people's views of me"

"Should I make an announcement that I am the one who approached Lika" Mr. Andre said with a smile.

"It's not so, sir.."

"Listen to Lika, I love being around you. So you don't have to think about the opinions of others who aren't necessarily better than you"

It is currently free to argue with Mr. Andre, after all it is not polite. Seeing me speechless, Mr. Andre seemed to understand how I felt.

"How about we eat here?" proposed Mr. Andre.

Maybe this is better than having to eat at the restaurant downstairs. "Father wants to eat what let me order"

"What matters is eating with you" she smiled back at me.

Somewhat confused also have to order what food, but when seen Mr. Andre was not picky about eating. I finally ordered a sundanese meal. While waiting for the food to come, I finished the job.

As soon as the food came I arranged it on the table we used to use for meetings.

"Are you ready?" Ask Mr. Andre

"It's Sir"

"Who is Sundanese cooking?, I happen to want to eat this again"

"From tomorrow we will have additional employees to help you here as long as I'm not around" Mr. Andre opened the obrol when we just started eating.

"Want to go back to Palembang?"

"No I'm handling a new project with a company from Bejing. Maybe for the next two weeks I'll be there"

"But how did I never know Mr. Robby would and would work with outsiders?" many wonder. Maybe I just worked for Mr. Robby but there's no way I didn't know for such a big job.

"This is the work of PT. Prima straight away, so you don't know"

"Oh, so now Mr. Andre is working directly with Mr. Emil"

Mr. Andre just smiled in response to my comment. Maybe that's why lately I've seen Mr. Andre not look like a boss and down with Mr. Robby. Or indeed all this time I do not know considering that I now know Mr. Andre more closely. But that's their business. Besides, I'm glad Mr. Andre got a better job now.

It seems Mr. Andre is really hungry because he really enjoys eating it. Though we only eat grilled chicken rice, tofu tempeh with sambel terasi and lalapan.

"Lika, you with the Clouds have met often huh?" ask Mr. Andre

"Not really, sir, we haven't seen each other in a long time. I've met you a few times here"

"Have you ever seen the clouds before?"

"Yes sir, he was my schoolmate at Junior High. But when Pak Awan High School continued to Yogya while my family moved to Palembang"

"Oh, it's worth it that you're familiar"

"Not really sir, since then we have never communicated. It was only a few days ago that I learned that he was my friend in Junior High".

"Woman who realized first?" Andre asked again.

"Yes Sir"

"Can you? It's impossible that you haven't changed from Junior High until now"

"Say he saw from my CV sir"

"He found out your CV in the personnel section?" I saw Mr. Andre wondering what the clouds were doing. But I don't want to discuss my problems with the Clouds. That's why I just want to say it.
