Disrupters
"What else is going on, Le?" Nina asked Lea on the phone.
"Gue's cooking lunch for my man, I want to anterin to his office."
"You want that ojekin?" ask Nina again.
"Yes, he said I don't mind. He wants to eat my lunch. That's why as soon as he came to the office, I hurriedly cooked. Fortunately there are many ingredients."
"It's been a little too late for lunch, Le."
"Yes, this is a little bit kelar koq. What else is it?"
"Gue's at the doctor." replied Nina.
"Check contents?"
"Yes, let alone try."
"Your same boy?"
"Some, by yourself."
"Well, aren't you there?" ask Lea wonder.
"My man is busy, Le."
"Is your brother-in-law?"
"Either."
Lea sighed, she could not stop thinking of Nina's husband who let his wife go alone. Though Nina still often nausea and sudden fainting.
"Lo be careful, Nin. Try asking for Temenin Vita."
"Vita's gone the same way."
"Yes, this guy doesn't have to creep. Ntar passed out again, you're in a public place."
"Yes, Le. This abis I go straight home koq."
There was a nurse calling Nina's name."
"Eh Le, I've been called tuh." said Nina.
"Oh, ok-ok."
"Bye Leah."
"Bye, Nin."
Nina hangs up the phone, Lea goes back to her activity of preparing lunch for Daniel. He immediately put the rice and the results of his cooking into the lunch box. Suddenly his phone rang again, apparently from Rama's classmate.
"Yes, Ram."
"Le, tomorrow's our percentage is told to buy a book of tau."
"What book?"
Rama also explained what books they needed. Coincidentally Lea was one group with Rama for the assignment of one of the courses.
"You can ask Le for help, you buy. I'm transferring now the money. Because I still nemenin nyokap me to Surabaya, ntar dawn I just returned."
"Yes, let me buy it." said Lea.
"What is your account number?" ask Rama.
"It's easy, not so."
"Eh don't be Le, it'll be the same."
"I mean it's easy, pay tomorrow. Ribet you, like a filthy citizen."
"Haha." Rama laughed, and Lea finally followed.
"Yes, Le. Please, Le."
"Sip."
Rama stopped his phone, and Leah prepared to go to the bookstore. Then suddenly he thought.
"All right now I'm anterin to his office and, yeah."
Lea smiled.
"Let him be surprised, there I am." he continued later.
Leah finally set off, she arrived at Daniel's office right at lunchtime.
"Mas, his kang ojek is in the eastern lobby" Lea told Daniel on WhatsApp.
She deliberately lied to her husband, to give a surprise. He deliberately waited in the eastern lobby, because the main lobby was very crowded employees then-pass. Lea was embarrassed when seen by many people, she was afraid that Daniel's employees would wonder who he was.
Because according to Daniel's story, not many employees know if he was married. At first Lea was just looking for a quiet place, but then she saw there was an eastern lobby, which happened to be no receptionist.
"Yes, I'm there." Daniel replied on WhatsApp.
The handsome, cross-faced man descended, calmly walking towards the eastern lobby. But then, Clarissa suddenly came to him. It seems Clarissa has been following him since he was still on top.
"And."
"Other than Clarissa?" Daniel seemed tired of facing the woman.
"I don't consider you an enemy, I just don't want to talk much or get along with you anymore."
"Why?. Because you know I'm still expecting more, right?"
Daniel was silent, without realizing that Leah saw and heard all that.
"Clarissa, I told you, I'm married."
"I still love you."
"I'm not."
"Lied."
Clarissa is getting closer to Daniel.
"If you don't love me anymore, you should be normal. You're acting like a gini because it's still hurt, isn't it just me, because there's still a sense, right?"
"Clarissa, do you want this conversation to be heard by everyone?"
"Let everyone know, all your wives who are in the village also know that they can."
"Gue denger koq, sis."
Suddenly Lea made a sound, making Daniel and Clarissa very surprised.
"Lea?"
Daniel couldn't believe his wife was there. Leah walked over, staring intently into Clarissa's eyes.
"Gue didn't know what was going on between you guys, just yet. But clearly, Dan is my husband. He married me legally, and you should have been ashamed."
"Lo will never be able to choose, to love whom. Including the husband of the man." Clarissa replied in a loud voice.
"Yes, but you can choose to disturb that person's household or not. You don't have to be like a rat lackey who seeks the truth, saying that love is God's destiny. Feelings and actions are two different things. You may not be able to control your feelings for my husband, but you can control your actions. For ruining the man's household is about deeds, not feelings."
Clarissa was silent, Daniel closed his eyes for a moment and put his fist on his forehead for a moment. He tried to take a breath because the air suddenly thinned for him. He was really confused this time.
"Once again you do this, I break the nutmeg lo."
Leah was really angry at Clarissa, she left the place and was followed by Daniel. Now Clarissa is in deep freeze. He was angry, but could do nothing.
***
A room, in the basement. A place reserved for employees, if they bring their own food. The room was quite large, having three air conditioners. There are plenty of chairs and tables there.
But there was no one there, except Leah and Daniel. Because the employees are more comfortable hanging out in the warteg or canteen near the office. None of them brought food. If there is, they prefer to eat at their desks.
"Why didn't you ever say there was a relationship with Clarissa."
Leah said after a few minutes they drowned in silence. Daniel sighed, he did not touch Lea and continued to eat. He seems tired of all this, not to mention having to think about work problems.
"As far as you are Le, I'm a laper" he said, again bribing food. Leah kept quiet and kept watching Daniel.
"I didn't tell you, because I didn't think it was necessary. I'm done with him, and there's nothing left. I don't have any feelings, I don't know if he's going to work here either."
"You're the boss."
"Le, there are many divisions here. Each division deliberately I love freedom, to increase or decrease its employees with certain conditions. And anyway, I don't care if that's who works from where he works."
Lea sighed.
"If you want to be angry, be angry. I'm horrified."
Daniel sipped some water, then resumed his meal. The delicious taste of the cuisine that his wife brought it, barely felt. Because Daniel was actually also upset about this incident. He was upset with Clarissa but could not hit the girl, because she was a girl.
He was upset because the problems he faced were many and had to be added again. While he can't fire Clarissa for no reason. There could be big questions, by the division where the girl is taking shelter. Daniel should not confuse work with personal affairs, even though Clarissa had done it first. He is the leader of the company and he should be as wise as possible.
"Uhuk." Daniel chokes.
"Slow down, mas." said Lea.
Daniel took a breath and grabbed the mineral water and drank it. As she was about to resume eating, Lea suddenly stroked her head and kissed her husband's forehead gently. Daniel stopped and looked at Leah.
"I knew I didn't want to look me in the eye, and didn't want to say much. Because we don't want to fight, do we?"
Lea asked a question while looking into her husband's eyes. Daniel asserted through the look in his eyes, although he did not budge at all.
"I'm tired, Le. I don't want to make a fuss."
"I'm not going to argue about this, koq, mas. I believe in you."
Daniel kept silent and looked at Lea.
"Thanks." he said later. Lea nodded.
"And I'm sorry for this" Daniel said.
"Disappearing food, huh?"
Lea shifted the subject, Daniel turned for a moment towards the food and looked back at Lea and they laughed.
"Enak koq, just now I've been tense as well. I thought you'd go bersamukan nahusahin like a FF leak."
The two laughed, Lea took a spoon and began to feed her husband. Because the food is still left.
"Aaa'k." said Lea.
Daniel also accepted the bribe, then the atmosphere again became liquid and full of laughter. Finally, the two hugged each other tightly in the room.
