The Eighteenth Part


The Love of the Poet


            The invitation that was spread without my knowledge, made the entire office in an uproar. Mas Heri immediately met me and asked about the engagement invitation. So is Ace, guys


in the layout, caricature and the whole management. All my questions answered


with a head. “I don't know, really I don't know. Yes, Mr. Beib


proposed to me, he asked us to get engaged first. But I haven't given a signal of approval.


I haven't answered her request, Mom. I am also confused with


this engagement invitation.” I said while holding my forehead.


            The general head of the two tabloids where I worked, was silent for a moment. He also looks confused. I felt his way of thinking, maybe he didn't know what to do either, because of all this


related to company funding. He also knew I was still a lame


about the love statement that Mr. Beib declared.


            “Let Mas, let me face this alone, I do not want my personal problems to be a burden on Mas Heri as well. Mas has been dizzy thinking about the problem of these two tabloids,”, I finally said.


            “Naina, I have not been able to give a definite answer, because it is about feelings. If you can't make a decision yet, it all depends on you. This becomes a problem


complicated, because everything is combined from the problem of taste, company and interests


we all.”


    “Iya Mas.”


    “Honestly I want to know your answer, do you love her? Or ask about things


it's in your own heart. Because if you make the wrong decision and


not according to your heart, so don't let it make you


regret for a lifetime.” Mas Heri patted my shoulder.


    Time ticks along the path that the creator has determined. I


follow the routine as usual. Another week of engagement party


it will be called. My friends cheered and congratulated me. There are


I know the real problems I'm dealing with, some are not. And


to my relief, they tried to keep my feelings in check by not asking


or scribble again about the engagement invitation. Tranquility in


the office flows like a gentle stream of water running towards the estuary. Yet it is


it didn't last long, and the arm started to pry when in my WA a message appeared


from Mr. Beib's sister, Marly. He sent a letter that made the whole


the joints in my body are limp.


    In the WA he sent, he wrote a sentence that read, Naina who uses her beauty charm


to ensnare my sister, Beib. Here are the women******, Beib already has


sweetheart, her name is Jennifer, she's my husband's niece. Jennifer beautiful, jennifer,


educated and from the same class as us. He's very compatible


with my sister Beib. Don't you think of the engagement that was designed between my sister


and you, it's been a definite final decision. I could


tear it apart in an instant. Naina, I know who you are. Position and


your class is far below us. Careful, your family is under our watch.


You're a mentally ill descendant, so it's not worth hanging out and getting into the neighborhood


our families. Watch out, if Beib finds out about this WA, you'll accept


as a result. Leave and go away from my sister, Marly Sutoyo!


    Whatsapp sent by Marly Beib's brother, did not scare me.


With that writing, my confidence in the impact I will now receive


being real. Mr. Beib's family started to move, attacking me with everything


clearheaded. And I've taken this into account. As a rich man


having an unlimited amount of money, he could do anything. Even


an absurd death could be done. I know that's because I interviewed


a conglomerate imprisoned for murdering a family


business competition. “Revenge and crush those who become


our stumbling block, it's necessary. Prison is a small matter. I could


he ordered him from behind the bars of the detention house. Money talks, everybody can


I covered it with money,” he said at the time. The words, I kept them well


in heart. Yes, money can make people not believe that there is another life


happier than that is living lovingly with one another.


    For two days I had all the trouble that came upon me. There is a phrase ‘save


the problem of being alone is not good, he will be a disguised killer who comes


sett-endap’ . I try to keep that expression to myself.


But on the third day, when the WA of Marly appeared again, the WA forward


to Mr. Beib. Under it I added, ‘our engagement is off, I will resign


from company. You can find another Editor-in-Chief. Enough already


this game of unqualified taste. Money is not everything and my life is not


it can be engineered with money!


    I reported everything that happened to Mas Heri, as well as the resignation letter


myself.


    “If you leave here you lose, Naina. You left before the war


commenced. Trust us all, friends will help if it happens


anything with you. Don't go,” pinta Mas Heri with a raucous voice.


    “Mas, I calculated that all this would happen. Love that


given Mr. Beib is not a simple love like Cinderella who wears shoes


the glass was picked up by a handsome prince, and after that they got married,


happily ever after. My story is different. I'm not the Cinderella


fell in love at first sight when I saw Mr. Beib. Besides the difference


social class strata, I've taken into account what's coming next


and I told that to Mas Heri.  If only he were truly a star


the poet, my feelings can certainly mean a lot to love him, there is


sincerity there. But it's all gone, the star I like is Mr. Beib.


If Mr. Beib had canceled this engagement and not bothered me again, let


I work as freely as I used to, I will not quit the company


these. But if he keeps making maneuvers that make me uncomfortable,


I had to get out of here, Mas..”. “And also they will


free from the fears of a rich family when there are strangers


going in it, I predicted.” Added again.


    Mas Heri was silent. I just took a few steps outside


the room, Mr. Beib is already standing in


front door. His face was stiff and stiff. He pulled my arm forcefully,


then take me out of the office and put me in his car


by force. (Connected)
