Call Me a Rose
Chapter 14

"If I hadn't worked at GAYA.Corp again, would we still be able to meet like this?"

The rose was quite surprised to hear that question as well.

"Where is Farid going?"

"My contract is running out, maybe I can't continue working at GAYA.Corp?"

"Why indeed? Is it not that the contract can be extended? Didn't Farid work at GAYA.Corp?"

This time Rose's instinct as Jelita the owner of the company went along with misgivings. Is his company not a comfortable place to work for his men?

"Not so, actually I feel at home working at GAYA.Corp, especially since there are you. But there's a problem that makes me stop..."

The Rose asked, What is the problem? Fortunately, the rose can still hold back. He was no one who could force Farid to tell him.

"Yes, no papa if Mas Farid does not want to tell a story. Farid has been too good with me all this time, thank you very much. Of course as 'friends' we can still meet at any time without being bound by work..."

Roses deliberately emphasize the word 'friend', because it is only to the extent that their current relationship, nothing more.

"Yes, then I say yes, it's already night and the rain has also begun to subside.many thanks, the noodles are delicious..."

"Yes, be careful on the road..."

Farid passed away the little Rose contract with his motorcycle. That night Rose decided to sleep in her small rented and told Diara that she could not go back to her apartment because the night was late enough.

Yes Je, no papa, let me take care of lo apartment, but Mas Farid lo not nginep in rented right?

No Di, I'm not that stupid. I don't have a family. Now this honor is the only precious thing in my life that I'm sure to keep.

After exchanging messages with Diara, Jelita intended to go to sleep immediately. Jelita prayed long enough because she did not want the nightmare to come back to haunt her as before. But somehow even after praying Jelita still could not close his eyes. His mind always wandered to the man who delivered him just now. Jelita was not an innocent girl and Farid's treatment of her was felt to be quite prominent than Farid's treatment of his other colleagues. Could it be that Jelita feels Farid has put his heart on her? But on the other hand Jelita is also still careful and does not want to be easily complacent. His previous experience with Arya still left quite deep wounds. Jelita does not want to start a new relationship in the near future.

Curiosity eventually prompted Jelita to send a message back to Diara.

At? my special task has been progressing? Farid said he wanted to quit his job, what was the reason?

But Diara did not return the message until Jelita fell asleep.

Elsewhere, Farid was awake until the night fell. Never before had Farid thought of women this deep. Usually those who voluntarily come and express their intentions without the need for him to wonder.

Yesterday his mother told him that she would start working as a domestic assistant in a fairly large house. His mother got the job information from her acquaintances. His mother said the work there would not be too heavy because many other ARTs also work there. His salary is also decent, almost the same as Farid's salary as an office boy. His mother would work there until Farid finished his studies and got a better job. After that his mother promised to stop working and rest as Farid wanted. During this time they lived off the money of retired Farid's father, while the money from Farid was used to repay the debt.

A perfect plan, as Farid's mother thought. But I don't know why Farid is getting worried. She was worried that her mother was too tired and fell ill again. Farid did not want to lose his only remaining family. But it turns out it's not just that. There was something else he was afraid of despite the many times Farid tried to disown him. He was afraid to part with the rose. He was afraid that there would be no more togetherness between them. Farid was afraid of the end of his work in GAYA.Corp, then ended his relationship with the Rose. Because actually there is no binding relationship between them other than just coworkers who work together in GAYA. Corp. However, Farid knew that it was impossible to oppose his mother's unanimous decision. Sooner or later, he had to quit his job to continue his studies.

Farid knew not long ago that he had met and known the Roses. In his uncertain position as of now, Farid knows himself that he is not worthy of a relationship with any woman. The burden of his own life is heavy and he does not want to drag the woman he loves into his family problems. Farid realized that there was a comfort he felt when he was with the Rose. If they were no longer co-workers, would they still be deserving of asking to meet even without a definite bond?

The next day, Rose woke up late and checked her phone. Diara replied to her message early in the morning.

Je, you must not have had breakfast, right? I masakin fried rice kampung same fried banana, later lo sppet-spetin breakfast in the office huh? Btw Mas Farid's investigation problem is settled, but my man just wanted to give a report later in the afternoon. You can still be patient, right?, hehe

Jelita took the time to reply to the message before taking a shower.

Thanks a lot In. My best friend is the most attentive like a mother-mak. Lo go first with Mr. Bin, I am late to wake up so later go up just so be quick. I stock you save it yes, later I steal time to make breakfast in the room lo all discuss work. c u.

the message was sent, Jelita rushed to take a shower and dressed up as fast as lightning. Then order ojol to go to the office. This time he really lived his role as the Rose with his simple life.

Again the Rose chose to go down far from the office area because no one wanted to see it rise ojol. Where enough OG salary is enough to commute up and down every day. Moreover, the distance of the contract is quite far from the office.

Like deja vu, Roses walked briskly through the courtyard of the building until a man stopped offering her a ride. Why does it feel like Farid is everywhere? Roses began to realize, secretly Farid was always beside him. What if he gets used to it and addicted? Then then, will Farid leave suddenly and leave her alone?

No, the Rose did not like that feeling. Feelings of being wasted and abandoned. Just like how he felt with Arya.
