Beautiful Monster
Co-workers

"It looks like he needs help to keep from feeling hopeless." Ignacia knew how pain was when it was decided by the person she liked. He felt sorry for Sarah. His imprecise impingement brought trouble for himself. "Tell him not to keep torturing himself. I'm afraid something bad will happen."

Feby certainly did. He even volunteered to visit Sarah if the girl felt bad. "But they had been separated for a long time, but Sarah was still thinking of the man." Feby is upset with Sarah and her ex-boyfriend. Reportedly the man had already built a relationship with another girl while Sarah was getting worse.

"They've been dating for a long time, I think it's only natural that Sarah's still putting her heart on. But come on, the world didn't collapse just because there were men who left it." Feby spoke again.

His words were correct, Ignacia agreed but not completely. The world will crumble if you part with someone you've been with for years. Ignacia could not imagine what if Rajendra left after a long relationship. All this time he was used to being together and his presence suddenly disappeared. It's gonna be really hard.

"I hope he can find a way to get back to being cheerful." Feby refocused on his task. The first hour of rest begins. He records the students carrying the student cards while Ignacia will do her job of returning the books later. Now Feby looked excited. This must be the way to stop worrying about Sarah.

Sarah's lucky to have a friend as good as Feby's.

Ignacia kept the news of Sarah to herself. He was similar to the girl when he could not control himself. Ignacia vents everything in books and imagination while Sarah attacks her own body. If the girl only ate spicy and rarely ate the place of time, most likely she would get even more desperate.

"Tomorrow I'll come early so I can clean the dust with you. I'll go home, see you." Feby put on his shoes in front of the library and walked quickly to the staff parking lot. Not forgetting he waved at Ignacia who was still near the door.

Right after his co-workers disappeared, Nesya and Farhan came. The man would just go to the cafeteria to buy a cold drink and then go back to the office to take care of the report. Again Farhan could not eat with Ignacia and Nesya. Back to the canteen. Nesya could complain at will about the report she had just finished before meeting Ignacia.

There were some students who were late to collect assignments, so Nesya had to wait until everything was collected and write his report before the time ran out. Nesya could not force her students to quickly do this task because it was related to a beautiful essay. If forced, they will hate these subjects. Nesya certainly did not want this to happen.

Ignacia will also share her story. About a co-worker who apparently is Feby. A person whom Ignacia once considered a minor nuisance in her relationship with Rajendra. Ignacia still remembers the revelation that Rajendra was asked to leave and go home with the girl. It's good that Feby is here. He will not meet Rajendra who is still busy in another city.

"The more days your world becomes narrower" said Nesya. He shifted his friend's cold drink. "Sum to feel cold again. By the way Danita sends a message, she says she misses us and wants to meet. Have you read the message?"

The interlocutor immediately grabbed his phone which was not far from his hand. Ignacia did not open the phone for several hours, so did not know if there was a message or not. And Nesya's words are right. A message from Danita appeared on her phone screen. "Why does he want to meet? Here he doesn't explain." Nesya doesn't know either. Danita kept this a secret from her friends.

The two guessed that the girl might get tired of doing volunteer work and wanted to go for a long walk meeting these two friends. Or there may be good news to be delivered in person. "Maybe Bahri proposed to him. At this age it is natural that we get married. So as not to get too old when our children start to grow up." Nesya's guess could have been right.

Dianti and Bahri dated for a long time. Bahri will definitely propose to her lover because from his attitude alone it has been seen if he is a man in charge. And if it is true that they are getting married in the near future, Ignacia will have to prepare clothes to come to the event. Then ask Athira to do her hair.

Farhan joined after the discussion about Danita ended. He was ready to bring his girlfriend home. Farhan and Nesya returned first. It was Nesya who asked him secretly. He does not want Ignacia to see herself with Rajendra on this relationship. Ignacia was afraid to miss her distant lover.

"It's okay to let your own friends?" Farhan asked to convince. He does not know Ignacia very well, but he knows that Nesya and Ignacia are inseparable since High School. Farhan saw the two together several times outside the classroom. Farhan can drive with Ignacia behind the girl before parting ways at the intersection if Nesya permits.

Nesya nodded, asking Farhan to start the motor and say goodbye to his friend. Ignacia reached into his pocket, checking Rajendra's chat room. The man was still busy, not having time to reply to his message. Then suddenly an active sign appears under Rajendra's name. Ignacia immediately called her lover. "Hey, Rajendra. Are you not busy now? Have you had lunch?"

The spirit of this girl immediately went back up. "I just finished eating with Nesya. Now I'm going home. Hey you got time tonight? There's something I want to tell you." Ignacia made sure not to disturb her lover now, so she asked about the plans for the night.

It just so happens that Rajendra doesn't have any plans. So he can give all his time to the girl. He said Rajendra would immediately pick up the call from the girl as soon as the call was connected. "Be careful on the road, Ignacia. Attention the road and do not speed," Rajendra advised.

Ignacia is not the first time riding a motorcycle. He knows the path he will walk. "Yes I understand. What are you doing now?" Lunch time is over, Rajendra is now resting. Give pause so that the food consumed can go down.

They just chatted for a while. Rajendra wants her girl to get home quickly. Later in the night they can chat until late if possible. Rajendra tomorrow there are activities during the day, so it's okay to get up a little late. Ignacia can't wait to see Rajendra's reaction to Feby. He's not going to talk about Sarah.

Arriving home, Ignacia finds her mother and father just waking up. Her parents had to work last night. Soon it was time to retire, Ignacia couldn't wait to make a fortune for her parents. Ignacia was called, asked whether she had eaten or not. Her sisters haven't come home yet, Ignacia feels like an only child with all this attention.

The one being questioned nodded. He brought a glass and a bottle of cold water to the dinner table. "Name Feby. He's Rajendra's neighbor. We've never known each other before, just know each other." His father nodded in understanding. Glad his son didn't feel isolated in the library.

Her mother sat at the dinner table, carrying two portions of food that had been warmed. Her mother offered her child if she wanted to try the food her parents bought after work earlier today. Of course his son refused. He didn't want to interrupt his parents' meal time. He ate before he came home.

Ignacia went to her room to change clothes and also put a bag containing a cell phone and laptop to see the ads she placed. Maybe Ignacia just focused on the library and forgot about the Proofreader. But according to his promise to his father, Ignacia had to use the supplies she got from the world of college. Honey if left just like that.

I don't know if Ignacia doesn't want to think about it now. He is tired and needs to rest. In the library he sits a lot, so now it's time to break down. Ignacia stared at the ceiling of her room which was illuminated by the sunlight from the window. Ignacia wondered how Feby could get to this town again. He was in the city of Rajendra.

About five minutes Ignacia was laying down, already someone was calling from outside the room. It was her mother, asking Ignacia to pick up her two younger siblings. One of the shuttle cars at Arvin's school had a problem and some children could be late for it. Ignacia was asked to pick up Arvin while waiting for Rafka at Junior High.

Instead of doing nothing, Ignacia complied with her mother. Soon the girl was wearing long clothes to protect the skin from sun exposure. Back he took out a motorbike that had been parked neatly in the garage. Her mother watched her daughter until the sound of her motorbike was no longer heard.

In front of the school, Arvin was already waiting near the fence. From his face he looked hungry. As soon as he saw Ignacia's appearance, Arvin ran to his teacher to let him know that his brother had come to pick him up. Arvin already knew that his brother was coming. But still questioning why his brother came.

Go to Rafka school. His second sister Ignacia was still not the time to go home actually. It's still ten minutes less. Arvin asked his brother to buy him a cold drink at a nearby store. Besides being hungry, his sister was also thirsty. The water in the bottle is gone. He also bought in the cafeteria.

Waiting ten minutes, Rafka still hasn't left school. Arvin is asked to come in and look for his brother. The boy did not know if Ignacia was picking up because she was not allowed to bring a cell phone. I don't know if you call the homeroom teacher and tell Rafka. Just let Arvin look for his brother.

While waiting, Ignacia once again checked if anyone contacted her via social media. Ignacia forgets about the ad and turns to social media that she uses to follow senior Proofreaders. He just used the place to recommend the services he offered. Opening a page that talks about books is also interesting.

"Sister" said Rafka with her sister. Immediately Ignacia put the helmet back on and brought her two younger siblings home. He needed a book to lighten his head. Along the way, Arvin told me about the incident at school. Rafka is the same, but not as much as his sister. This journey was more joyful than when Ignacia had left.

At home, the two return to tell about school but now to their parents. Father and mother had just finished eating, so had time to pay attention to the story being told. Ignacia returned to her room again. While waiting for Rajendra later tonight, he will search for books online just like that time.

...*****...

"Already, stop eating that spicy food. Don't you realize that what you're doing is in vain?!" Feby vented all his emotions on Sarah. His tone did not rise, but it sounded clear if he was angry. The man who left his friend will not return. Sarah says her ex-boyfriend is dating another woman. He started eating spicy food again.

Feby was tired of hearing complaints about Sarah's stomach. She also doesn't like it if Sarah has to go back to the hospital. Yesterday Feby was enough to accompany Sarah until she was allowed to leave the hospital. He can't leave his job again to build Sarah. "Conscious, you don't need that man anymore."

This girl had never dated, but she knew what to do at a time like this. "Try to find another man, Sarah. Rather than bothering yourself. Your parents are very anxious because you keep getting sick and taking a lot of medicine. I'll find you a good man if I have to."

There was a sound of loudness from the end of the call. Sarah doesn't need a new man. He just wants his ex-girlfriend back. Previously the man who accompanied him for many years was always worried about Sarah's health. He still thinks hurting himself can bring him back into his arms.

"This time I'll hurt myself well. I won't be taking any more drugs. If you could come every Sunday and accompany me, I'd end this spicy meal therapy." Sarah chuckles again. She knew Feby was working. Going back and forth to visit him will only make the salary received by his friend quickly run out.

Sarah still can not finish college because her condition is always deteriorating after breaking up. He could not graduate on time. Sarah can't go back to her parents' house in this town. The business in the city is not over yet.

"Early finish your studies and go home. We'll solve your heart problem here. I'll accompany you every time you get home from work if you go home." Feby now sounds real. His shoulders were back to limp. He looked at a photo of his relationship with Sarah. Feby misses his friend's sweet smile.

At the end of the call, Sarah looked down. The dam he built managed to collapse due to the sincerity of his friend. "Yes, I'll be right back. You have to promise to accompany me every day, Feby. I'll remember your promise." Sarah chuckled while busy wiping away the tears that had fallen on the pillow.
