I Don'T Want To Be Cinderella #1
35. Zip Your Mouth!

Zip Your Mouth! (Take your mouth)

I knew it would definitely be like this when I decided to eat in the cafeteria with Shanty, Olive and Dika in the canteen. All eyes were on me and whispered, not a few who looked at me with a look of disdain especially from the top employees.

This was my first time eating in the cafeteria with friends after everyone found out about my relationship with Caraka. Normally I would eat with Caraka, but this time she had an appointment with Candra, so here I am.

Well, can you imagine how everyone would respond if I accepted the position that Caraka offered me? There I will be ignored by my colleagues later, in addition to being considered incapable, also because I get the position because of Caraka.

Nepotism. Yes, it would probably have been my middle name had I forced myself to the position Caraka had given.

It's not that I don't like people who get jobs for help from insiders. Again need to be underlined as long as they are able and that is really the field, I think personally it is okay. But when he only relied on an insider with no capable skills .. hmmm, better, he thought twice about accepting the position and handing it over to his experts.

“So that, that chick she said was Mas Boss' girlfriend?”

I'll start bribing the firstborn when I hear some of the girls at the next table talking about Caraka. Maybe more precisely talking about me.

“Custom only. Beautiful, sexy, ordinary year.”

Yes, that's Markonah. If I'm beautiful, sexy, I'm already an artist, not a receptionist.

“Because pellet Kali Mas Boss, instead release Anggi who is clearly the same level as him.”

Waaaa. Suudzon the Grandma Lampir. I stared at their table who was looking at me, raising my eyebrows. Aaah, it's appropriate that they dare to speak like that, they are the secretaries of the Board of Directors and Commissioners, they are, one of them was a Big Boss secretary who had fought with me when I was summoned by Big Boss to discuss about my case.

I did not see Bu Yesi, the secretary of Caraka, among them because if there was Bu Yesi they would not have dared to talk about me like that, could be sprayed out they were the same as Bu Yesi.

“No need to be horrified, Na, they are just envious.”

I smiled as I nodded at Olive's words.

“Iya, just tell me, Kak .. kalangin who is not envious of Kak Kirana .. I just envy.” Shanty looks sulky makes me laugh.

“Iya, I'm also envious.” Olive sulking followed me to shake my head.

“Tenang .. there is still Mas Dika who is always ready to be the object of girls' genitals.”

“The nightmare is mah not haunting.”

“Hahaha.”

I will come back to bribe when I hear their words that make my blood boil even Olive, Shanty and Dika stop bribing food like me. They are now looking at me with worried faces.

“He was the one who was yesterday exposed to a case of harassment by guests.”

I silently stared. A cold aura permeated the body, reminded of what seemed to be a nightmare in my life. Like the domino effect, the entire canteen that was boisterous by the sound of people talking, and the clanking of spoons that collided with plates, is now silent.

“Gue sure it's not the first time he's got such abuse.”

“Yes, and guess who was the abuser yesterday?” everyone on his desk was now staring towards the curious Big Boss secretary. “Ferdi Izam!”

“What? Seriously?”

“Yess.”

“Yes, he is indeed a famous bastard anyway, but he is no less than Mas Boss .. the son of a coal businessman known as the Sultan of Borneo, who wants to refuse try.”

“Well that's it! maybe not if it turns out that it is not harassment, but indeed the girl who is nervous and just to get attention from Mas Boss.”

“ Didn't think Mas Boss turned out to be so stupid ... they were completely different levels, making the name of Mahesa embarrassed only.”

Enough's enough! I can no longer hold back my anger. My body trembled trying to hold back the anger because after all this was still a work environment and I didn't want to make a fuss here, but when they joked about the wounds that hadn't healed completely.

“Na!” Olive tried to hold me back who suddenly stood up, my emotions had already reached the crown. I can't hold it anymore

“Sorry ... Sister secretary Papah right?” (Hopefully Big Boss didn't hear me call him Papah).

“Fap?”

“Ah, sorry to forget .. I mean Mr. Rudi Mahesa.” I put emphasis when mentioning the name Big Boss. “Didn't as a secretary should Mbak keep saying let alone this concerns one of his family members.”

“Family members? Are you a member of the Mahesa family?”

“Wah, big head she, new also dating already feel part of Mahesa.”

“Hei, Anggi alone is clearly as level and more worthy to be Mahesa's daughter-in-law, and has been betrothed to break up just because of women like you. What else is just a receptionist, cih!”

“Hahaha, just wait for time before wasting.”

They laughed at me, and now we have become a spectacle of one canteen. Some of them whispered and agreed with the words of four women dressed in expensive stellan who now smiled down on me.

“Mbak, I never said I am a member of the Mahesa family ... or maybe a weak Mbak understanding?” Her fourth face is now hardened, but I don't care. “I said one of the Mahesa family members, not me.. Wasn't Mbak talking about Kakang? I mean Caraka?”

They screeched me calling Caraka with the call of Kakang. Not knowing them, how precious that sacred call is.

“Keep why?”

“Mbak said Caraka was stupid, and what was it? Caraka got pellets? Be careful, Ma'am, that includes slander.” I sighed giving a pause for a while before returning to say,

“However Caraka is the boss of all of us, also the son of the owner of this hotel which is none other than Mbak.” I stared at the Big Boss secretary who was looking at me with clenched jaws holding back anger. “Is it appropriate for a secretary to talk about the son of his boss, who is also one of the Directors here by saying he is stupid just for liking a receptionist?”

The cafeteria was now completely silent, even the canteen employees had now gone outside to see what was happening at this time.

“Caraka is much smarter than us, therefore he holds the position now at his young age, so it is better to be careful when talking. And about her liking the receptionist who she said was not at the level of Caraka ..”

I looked at the four who were still silent looking at me with angry eyes.

“With feeling ... it is not the same as if we buy seblak, asked which level? So don't talk about the level of feeling. And ...” I gave a pause to look directly into his fourth eye. “Never make harassment as a joke. These children are women, so at least if you can not empathize with victims of abuse, then sympathize, if you can not do both then be silent .. do not make us mockery. Understand!”

I intentionally put pressure on the word silence and understood with my eyes staring at them sharply. For a while they did not dare to look me in the eye directly, and it became a gap for me to return to attack. I leaned closer, and in a whisper I said again,

“Do you know that the father of baj*ngan asked Papah and Kakang to keep his son's identity secret?” I looked at the four who now looked not as hard as before. “And Mbak has leaked the secret.” The eyes of a row of Big Boss looks widened in surprise to realize his mistake. “Mbak, know what they can do if they know who has leaked this secret?”

The secretary's eyes were now trembling knowing that what I said was true. I stood up straight again looking at the four who had now paled.

“So take care of your mouth, before you say back against yourself.”

I turned around and walked outside followed by the gazes of the canteen. I kept walking regardless of Olive, Shanty and Dika trying to catch up with me.

I'm still upset? Of course I'm still upset. But I have to be able to hold back, I don't want to let them win by seeing me be rude, because that's the same way I just justify them that I don't deserve a Caraka Buana.

After this incident my desire to get out of this job grew. In addition to proving to the Mahesa family that I will not disappoint them and deserve to be Caraka's partner, I also did it for my own sake, for the sake of Mamah and Oka. But before I prove my ability .. I must be able to stand up straight again and forget the events that made me fall. But how could I forget it when everyone around me found out about the abuse, and some of them made it a mockery?

I have to get out of here and find a place where no one will keep reminding me of it, so I can get back on my feet, and showed my ability before I would stand next to Caraka with confidence.
