The End of Long
Part 7's

This morning I went to the office alone, because Mr. Andre and Mr. Budi want to go directly to the residential location. There's work to be done there, that's what I heard from Mr. Andre yesterday.

So it is not surprising once I got to my house only I was there myself. They're all definitely in construction, I thought. I only did the tasks instructed by Mr. Andre yesterday. After all my work was done I looked at my watch at 12.20 wib, deserved my stomach was hungry. Because this morning I only ate the bread I bought at dinner last night.

I intend to leave the office to the restaurant on the ground floor of our building. But my legs stopped as soon as I saw Mr. Andre enter the room.

"You haven't eaten Lika?" Andre smiled at me.

"Not yet Sir, Is there anything you need let me prepare first" I still stand waiting for instructions from Mr. Andre.

Mr. Andre laughed "Right now I need lunch, because I'm starving. No time for breakfast" while his right hand rubbed his stomach

"What do you want to eat? Let me buy it down" I bargained with Mr. Andre.

"I want to eat with you, come on" he asked. Seeing that I was still confused by her attitude, she approached and pulled my wrist. "It's not good to eat alone, so I want you to accompany me to lunch today"

I just follow what Mr. Andre said, actually I am a bit concerned with the familiar treatment of Mr. Andre by holding my hand but I do not dare to refuse. I followed where he was taking me, hoping no one else would see us. I'm afraid they misperceived me both with Mr. Andre.

But at this time I was lucky, the atmosphere in the office was quiet because other employees were taking lunch breaks.

"Sorry sir" I tried to take care to pull my hand from Mr. Andre's grip so he wouldn't be offended.

Thank goodness Mr. Andre understood I mean "Oh sorry Lika, I forgot to still hold your hand" Mr. Andre released his hand grip. He opened the elevator door, in the elevator we just had a light chat and as usual his casual attitude. Mr. Andre is really a dream man, in addition to handsome and well-established, his person is also cool as a chatter friend. Anyway he package is complete, so no wonder that many women are crazy about him.

If I only feel comfortable with him, there is not the slightest vibration in my heart. Or maybe it was because I was so into it that I tried to cover my heart for her. I don't know, but for sure I only admire him as a good Boss that is rarely encountered at this point.

"When do you like to eat what?" mr. Andre's smile always adorns our conversation.

"I'm not picky when it comes to food sir. Whatever I eat that is important healthy and still worth eating" I myself wonder why today I can so casually talk to Mr. Andre, maybe because he also behaved like that.

"Eating everything" Mr. Andre teased me while nodding his head."Okay I like women who do not choose to eat" Mr. Andre turned to me while laughing.

I'm a little embarrassed to hear what Mr. Andre just said, but basically I'm not very picky about food. For me to eat is to live not live to eat, so just be grateful for what God has given me.

That afternoon we only ate at the restaurant on the ground floor of our office. I feel happy here because I do not need to bother looking for lunch because almost all kinds of side dishes and light meals are here. There is no talk of work problems there is just a regular chat between me and Mr. Andre.

After lunch Mr. Andre immediately left again because there was a meeting outside. At first I thought one of the office's restaurant meals was her favorite but if I saw her order was just plain. Much is provided elsewhere. Maybe he has business at the office so all of you stop by to eat, so don't bother looking elsewhere. But yes, it is the business of Mr. Andre to eat anywhere is up to him.

-ooOoo-oo

"Chalika" I heard, someone called my name. It is impossible to say in my heart because at this moment the situation around me is already quiet. It's been 7 pm, most of the employees who work here have gone home from 5 pm this afternoon. Moreover, I have only worked here for four days, only a few people I know here. I'll just pass my rare foot to the exit gate.

"Chalika" this time the voice was clearly heard in my ear. And it seemed to have come from the direction to my right from where I was standing now. I have the man who called me. Who yeah? it seems like the sound I've heard but I don't know where. Indeed, at that time the surrounding situation was not so bright because the parking lot of this building was quite spacious, while the lights were only installed on the edge near it.

The heart stopped instantly when who knew who was running towards me. Maybe at this time my heart is no less racing with him, the difference is he beats because of running, while I beat fast do not know why.

I myself was confused since the beginning I met Mr. Awan, why the heart always pounding while my heart so not because. We just met four days ago. It was just a brief introduction and there was nothing special in my opinion.

"Will you go home?" Mr. Awan still breathing

"Yes sir" tonight he is more dashing than yesterday, even if only using t-shirts and shabby jeans. But somehow I prefer the way he looks now than yesterday.

"Would you come home with me?"

"Chalika wants to go home with me?" probably realized that I wasn't sure what I was hearing just now.

"No need sir, I don't want to trouble you" I refused. This time not only was my heart pounding, but my face started to heat up because he offered to go home together. Not right now I don't want him to know what I'm feeling.

"It just so happens that we're in the same direction, so I don't feel bothered" a smile still adorned Mr. Awan's face.

"Sorry sir, but I have a little need before I go home" I refused. If I had to follow my heart maybe I would have said it since the first day he offered me a ride. But I'm still trying to use my wits. I don't want to until Mr. Awan thinks I'm a presumptuous employee to his Boss and in retrospect who knows he's just a pleasantries association not serious to go home together.

"There is actually something I want to talk to you about" clearly there is disappointment in Mr. Awan's face.

"What is it sir?" I'm a little confused. What does Mr. Awan want to talk to me about right now? If personal matters are not possible, considering we just met the same two today. While the job problem? Nothing needs to be conveyed to me because it should be delivered directly to Mr. Andre or Mr. Robby. At least Mr. Budi who knows the ins and outs of the job location.

"I can't say it here, and maybe it's a bit long"

"How about tomorrow Sir" I still hesitate to agree to Mr. Awan's invitation

"If tomorrow my schedule is really busy, to come to the office alone is not possible"

"Very urgent, sir?"

"If for me personally this is urgent"

"How about we go back to the office again" those words just came out of my mouth. After thinking about why he also returned to the office, after all there was deserted as well. It would be more efficient if we talk while going home. But that's when I thought about how to reject Mr. Awan.

"It's not good in a quiet office, after all it's not a matter of work"

"If I may know what the problem is, sir?" I'm curious about Mr. Awan's words to talk but it's not a matter of work. We only knew four days ago what we had to talk about outside of work.

"Later you will know" Mr. Awan smiled as he continued to look at me.

"Alright" I gave up refusing Mr. Awan's request again, and at this moment I'm not thinking of a good reason. Where was I who was always good at reasoning every man who offers closeness to me. Maybe because my brain has been overpowered by my heart while being close to Mr. Awan.

I don't know what this man has until I myself am not used to controlling my heart and my common sense. Not a few I know a man who from appearance and economically more than Mr. Awan. But none of them can make my heart beat fast with just a look in the eye.

Mr. Awan looks happy because he convinced me to go home together. Actually, if I have to be honest with my feelings, I am the person who is the most happy right now compared to him. My heart cheers with joy because I am going home with Mr. Awan. Because in a dream never crossed, even though I actually expected more closeness than just the Boss and Employees.

"Where were we going?" Mr. Awan asked after sitting next to me and ready to start his car.

"Huh" I was surprised by Mr. Cloud's question. Didn't he say he wanted to take me home and there was talk he needed to tell me.

"Chalika will still have business before going home, so we finish your business first and then both of us"

"My business is not so urgent, let it be later" why I can forget the reason I just said yes. There was shame in my heart but it seemed that Mr. Awan did not realize that I was just lying in order to refuse his invitation.

"How about we talk over dinner?"

"E uh.." I was surprised that Mr. Awan invited me to dinner.

"Cha please, I'm really starving right now I haven't had time to eat since last afternoon" Mr. Awan cut my words as he said. Though at first I wanted to refuse but saw the expression and heard that he had not eaten since last afternoon I could not bear.

I nodded, because I didn't know what to say. Mr. Awan smiled because I did not reject his invitation this time.
