WHEN MY FACE CHANGED
It's tormenting me

A month later

Jessica does her activities smoothly, her relationship with Vishnu is also getting closer. But while in his second office keep distance from each other as usual they did. Jessica did not want to create rumors in the office because it was close to Vishnu, so the two agreed to meet secretly.

“Sorry, earlier Bora held me for a while.” Jessica said, get in the car, sit next to Vishnu.

“It's okay, don't keep apologizing.” Vishnu smiled sweetly.

“Ah, I feel bad.” Jessica's awkward laughter made Vishnu anxious to see her.

“So it's ready ?” Ask Vishnu before running his car. Jessica nodded with a smile on her lips. For some reason when with Vishnu in this situation his heart felt calm and comfortable.

After finishing dinner, they searched for air in the restaurant's rooftop. Vishnu did not take his eyes off Jessica's tiny face. It felt like looking at that face at all times wherever he went.

“Until when we secretly like this ?” Jessica asked open her voice, misbehaving because she was consciously looked at by the man.

“There's something I want to convey.” Vishnu said he arranged his seat, trying to focus on what he wanted to convey to the woman.

“What's up?” Ask Jessica. His face was ordinary, but his heart was beating faster than usual waiting for the expression that the man was about to say.

Please not now. Jessica was embarrassed.

“Ehem.” Again Vishnu deheman sounded terrible in Jessica's ears, guessing what the man would do.

“Tomorrow I will go out of town, the President told me to monitor the production at the branch of Kalimantan.” Vishnu said in a sincere voice, Yes he is not sincere with the task given by his superiors because it will prevent him to meet Jessica every day.

“H-haah ?” Jessica was embarrassed by his thoughts, apparently Vishnu wanted to convey his departure out of town.

“Yes, spirit.” Jessica smiled awkwardly.

“Only 2 weeks, but I will try to finish it as soon as possible so that I can meet you.” Vishnu said spontaneously so that made Jessica look at him.

“Ah, I mean can work as usual in the office.” Vishnu scratched his head that did not itch.

Two days after Vishnu left to finish the task out of town, Jessica felt her life was lonely again. Half the day he spent in the office, where he usually saw and met Vishnu. But this time it felt different if he could not see the man's nose. 

“Jessi, your phone vibrated from earlier.” Yola held the woman's shoulder.

“Ah, really ?” Jessica picked up her phone and saw Madame Sandra's name plastered on her screen.

Shit, why are you still calling me ? Jessica ignored the call.

“Why not lift ? manatahu essential.” Yola said again.

“Nothing.” Jessica resumed her work.

Something strange, I saw him daydream. Inner Yola looked at Jessica.

One message came in, Jessica saw the notification frowning. Hope is not a bad thing that he accepts.

Later that night coming here, you can't just leave after what you've done here.

“Huh” Jessica breathed a heavy sigh after reading the message that Madame Sandra sent to her.

Why do you want to repent, so many obstacles ? Does God refuse me to be a good servant ? 

At exactly 7 p.m., Jessica stepped into Madam Sandra's room. He looked at the woman sitting in his favorite chair while enjoying a cigarette that stuck on his lips. Jessica took a deep breath and threw it away slowly. 

“He waited for you from earlier.” Said Romi who suddenly stood beside him.

“Just follow your heart, don't keep feeling guilty about her. The more you feel bad, the crueler he treats you as he sees fit.” Romi's words made Jessica turn to him, her brain was digesting Romi's unusual words coming out of the man's mouth. Tumben his brain can think wisely, he thought.

“Hahaha, you must be feeling stupid hearing this sentence from my mouth. But that's the condition that you do not regret taking any decision in accordance with your heart.” Romi patted Jessica's shoulder slowly, staring at the woman's bead with his sad eyes.

“You have made many sacrifices for Jessica, do not be confused.” Finished saying his sentence, Romi left from there. Jessica was confused, why today Romi was so wise and left without being expelled as usual.

Huh. What do I have to do now ?

With a heavy heart, Jessica entered the room. Madame Sandra who realized it immediately greeted her Primadona with a wide smiling face. It's like finding a treasure.

“Jessica, you finally came too.” Madame Sandra turned off her cigarette and looked at Jessica who was sitting in front of her.

“What else is it ?” Jessica asked coldly.

“Ware you asking such a thing ? Haha” Madam Sandra chuckles at Jessica's sentence which she thinks is just a joke.

“Mrs Sandra, as I said a few days ago.”

“Wait” Lady Sandra cut out a sentence she didn't want to hear.

“Today is only one, but the time is rather long.” The woman said as usual.

He really won't set me free ? Jessica breathed heavily.

“I seriously” Jessica stared intently at Madam Sandra so as to make the woman roll her eyeballs.

“What serious ? you really wanted to leave your world all this time ? the world that is always there when you are in trouble ? though you enjoyed it.” Madame Sandra's lips are upset. How could he possibly let go of his running bank.

“Who said I enjoyed it ? do you think I've been happy all this time ? No, Mrs Sandra. I'm even in the haunt of guilt every second, this doesn't calm me down and torment me.” Jessica's sharp eyes turned mellow. He did not lie about his feelings of being unsettled and self-torturing. That's how he's been feeling all along.

“As far as you are, I disagree. Now change your clothes there.” Madame Sandra got up from her seat, lazily listening to Jessica.

“I know I owe you a lot.” Madame Sandra stopped her footsteps.

“But all this time I feel like I've given you the best. Even when you asked me to come on my day off, I fulfilled it. Not enough ap..”

“Enough.” Madam Sandra turned her body to look at Jessica.

“If you know you are indebted, do as I say and never expect to run from me.” Madame Sandra immediately left her room after saying that sentence, she really hated the current Jessica, as if losing the woman herself would soon go bankrupt. Though there are still many employees who can be profitable even though not as much as Jessica.

Jessica was only silent after Miss Sandra's legacy, her tears wanted to fade but she tried hard to hold it back. He did not want to cry over something like this, this was too sickening for him.
