ENDLESS HALLWAY
CHAPTER 108: A DEAL

An office errand boy delivered a letter to Eliya. Cevin who was lazily calling his relationship seemed not to take care of Eliya waiting until Cevin finished calling. The letter was given to Cevin.

"There's a letter from the insurance, sir."

Eliya.

Cevin had no taste in receiving the letter.

"You just read it."

Answer Cevin.

Eliya ripped the envelope. Sentence by sentence read carefully. When the girl finished her face was beaming. Cevin, who happened to look at Eliya, was astonished.

"Hee, what's the matter with Eliya's smile?" reprimand Cevin.

"There's good news, sir."

Answer Eliya.

"What news?"

Ask Cevin.

"This insurance company told me that Balqis worked there." Cevin's ass is like a cigarette. He stood up in shock.

"Aren't you fooling around?"

Ask Cevin.

"Try Mr. Cevin read it himself" Eliya said, handing over the letter.

Can't wait for Cevin to read the letter. He screamed like a child. Eliya is excited to see his boss is not moody anymore But is it true Cevin is not moody anymore? Not long ago the man was struck by excitement, a moment later so turned moody again He returned pensive while holding his head.

Balqis is Balqis. The woman has a strong heart. He left his house just to avoid me. Forgetting me. Could it be that if I met him it wouldn't add to his life being shaken? And I'd guess if I'd found him, he'd go further.

Maybe he won't come back. It means that the suffering of his life will be even worse. So what should I do?

Cevin remembered Ranti. He hurriedly called the girl.

"Ranti, I've got an answer from the insurance company. Balqis turned out to be working there," Cevin said.

"Thank God. Then we know the trail of departure

nya. I think he moved to a fixed house around Bandar Lampung."

Ranti.

"I'm confused what steps should I take?"

Cevin.

Cevin looked riled up.

"Wait for me to go to your office. We will meet with the insurance leader. We'll do it according to our plan, okay?" Reply Ranti

"Okey," said Cevin with a heavy heart, "I wait for you as soon as possible to come."

Reply Cevin.

Cevin put the phone to his mother again. He's pensive again. Pensive to think about the life of Balqis who had been working at the insurance company. Surely very exhausting. How much you suffer your life, baby. Why do you keep insisting on rejecting my proposal? If only you didn't, maybe your life would be that big.

Shortly thereafter, Ranti arrived. Cevin can't wait to go to the insurance company. But Ranti prevented it.

"Don't rush. Call the head of the company and ask if Balqis is in the office" Ranti said.

''Why is that so?"

Ask Cevin.

"I'm asking you not to go see Balqis. It will be worse."

Obviously Ranti.

"Aaaah," Cevin sighed in annoyance. Though the longing to meet with Balqis has exploded.

"Don't follow your emotions. What do you think not?" Said Ranti again.

Cevin's getting lethargic.

"Now I want to ask, do you still have the heart to make Balqis' life more miserable? Cause he's gonna be out of work again when you find out. Believe me, my guess is not going to miss. Though she needs living expenses and costs to check the baby to the doctor," said Ranti.

"Then you'll call."

Cevin.

Ranti called the insurance chief. Long enough also between Ranti and the insurance leader was talking by phone. And finally told to come there after the insurance leader said Balqis was on duty out.

"Let's go there now" asked Ranti.

Cevin just followed the woman's will.

They boarded the car to the insurance office during the trip feeling Cevin stricken erratically. Almost his car was on a motorcycle. The motorcyclist cursed, while Cevin only smiled bitterly.

The insurance office is four. Magnificent and famous in Bandar Lampung City. The employees are quite a lot. Busyness in the office is always routine because many members who participate.

Cevin and Ranti flashed in the room that was lined with employee desks. They seem very busy. Cevin and Ranti face the leader.

"Good day," said Cevin kindly entering the leadership workspace. Ranti followed.

"Good day" the leader replied. Then they shook hands and mentioned each other's names.

"God."

"Cevin's."

"Replace."

"Let's sit down."

The leader invited Cevin and Ranti to enter his room.

The three of them sat around the guest table. The air-conditioned room felt cool and comfortable.

"He's my brother who recently had a disagreement. He then ran away from home to live independently. His determination and principles of life are hard to conquer. I understand its nature that way. And among our families who did not want to receive help was only Balqis. Though what the shortcomings of our lives, if he wants to work in the company owned by our father is certainly not too difficult. But he has another principle of life."

Cevin.

The gods believe.

"There has not been a month he worked here has got twenty companies that want to become members of insurance. He was indeed diligent and deft in many ways."

Obviously God.

"We're sorry before, for what I wanted to ask about the company's secrets."

Cevin.

"Please. With what is will we answer."

The god answered.

"Regarding the monthly salary he received."

Cevin.

"Oooo that," the God laughed. "Regulations in our company each new employee's salary is one million two hundred thousand rupiah including money tansport." Cevin who had been talking all of a sudden had his throat dry. Then he swallowed the saliva that suddenly felt bitter. And at the same time the office waiter came with a drink.

Cevin exchanged looks with Ranti.

Ranti learns that Cevin asked for help in chiming in on the conversation.

"The meaning of our arrival here is none other than this, Mr. God," Ranti began to open her voice.

"Hows it? Just bring it up."

God Saying.

"Sorry again, perhaps we consider the salary for Balqis given by this company to be too modest. But we don't mean that. As brothers we want to ease the burden of his life. Don't let his life suffer. As Cevin said, Balqis was never willing to accept help from his brothers. Then through Mr. God, we will help him," said Ranti.

God mangosteen.

"Wantas you mean how?"

Ask Gods.

"We will increase Balqis salary to four million five hundred thousand rupiah every month. In addition, every month we will give a bonus on behalf of the father's company. Can you agree on our wishes?"

Ask Ranti.

The god thought for a moment...!!!

"Once again, that we don't want Balqis' life to be short-lived, sir. Please let me agree to this wish of ours. And I hope you keep this secret. We really love him, sir," said Cevin, hoping for the insurance chief's approval.

"alright. I will help you and spread your kindness."

Reply God.

Cevin and Ranti were relieved. Then Cevin opened his bag and took out the cheque book. Then he wrote a sum of extra salary and bonus money for Balqis for a year.

"I gave this cheque to Mr. Dewa for an additional salary and bonus Balqis for a year." Cevin.

Cevin handed the cheque to the gods.

"I will do it with pleasure."

Reply God.

"And if anything happens to Balqis, please call me immediately to the office."

Reply Cevin again.

"Good."

God Saying.

Cevin and Ranti immediately pleaded with caution once they left the office. No other to avoid not getting caught with Balqis who suddenly came home from outside duty.

"Well, everything's all right, right?" ranti said relieved after they were in the car that was sliding. Cevin was still sad while driving the car. Sad to see Balqis.

"I wanted to meet Balqis for a moment" Cevin said.

"Don't. For the sake of the peace of his life, don't see him once. If you break my advice, Balqis's situation will get worse and suffer. And if you're determined to do it, then you don't love her sincerely. Your love is only a napkin. Loving someone does not mean having to. And also feel happy if loved ones life is happy. Not even make him suffer. Try to be in a lick. You understand"

Obviously Ranti.

Cevin didn't say. He's running his car faster. Getting further and further away and lost from sight.

***

"You're out of your mind, aren't you?" cursing Ranti to Cevin who was unceasingly gulping down liquor.

"It's only this that can slightly reduce my longing for Balqis. It's my only escape" retorted Cevin who had begun to break down. He poured his whisky back into his empty glass. Keep drinking until it's finished.

The band that accompanied the female singer performed a song whose rhythm was slow. A couple is hanging out in the dance arena. The multicolored lights intermittently illuminated the dim room.

"It's midnight, Vin. Let's go home,"

Ranti's words began to be troubled.

"Don't be sok alim. You usually like to go to places like this and go home in the morning. Why are you asking to hurry home now?" cevin said with a body swaying in lethargy. It seems like it is no longer able to carry itself. He wanted to fall in his seat.

"But if I come to the night club not to accompany people mabok because of love. Intentionally came to entertain. Since the afternoon we have not been home. Our clothes smell sweat. Let's go home, Vin." Ranti.

"You don't know how I feel." complained Cevin.

"Who said I don't know how you feel? Wow...!!! you're talking more and more. And you should be able to feel, in this way you can't necessarily forget Balqis. But if you would realize that Balqis needs peace, you would be willing to comply. And if you truly love her willingly fulfill what she wants. But you seem selfish."

Obviously Ranti.

"Silent. You want to be quiet, huh?!" cevin snapped with glaring eyes. Ranti was scared.

Ranti could only take a heavy breath It was unexpected that Cevin, who was this genius and full of potential, turned out to be a tempe male. Kampung men.

"Well, I'll accompany you to the teler. Let's drink some more. If it's less I ask for more whisky." Ranti so arise courage to oppose Cevin.
