Galuh blinked and slowly opened his eyes. It was as vague as seeing the shadow of someone's face being so close to him. Was he dreaming, or was it true that the man had come to see him this time.
“Luckily no customers came,” said Reza smiled thinly staring at the beautiful face of Galuh who fell asleep in a half-sitting position on a long bench on the counter.
Galuh jerked, woke up suddenly. Instantly his eyes widened, staring at the presence of Reza nearby. “Abang,” I said I still can't believe the man came to see him. Finally, after one week they both greeted each other again.
“You must be exhausted to fall asleep at work like this.” Reza smiled faintly, bowing his body slightly in front of Galuh. Next to her hand outstretched, a strand of fallen hair covered part of the woman's cheek.
“Several nights I have a hard time closing my eyes,” Galuh said, inching to shift the body giving Reza a place to sit next to him.
“Does anything bother you?” Reza dropped his butt right on Galuh's left, sitting with his legs propped up and his hands behind him while spreading his gaze around the room.
Galuh turned his head, looking at the face of the man beside him who looked so calm. “Maybe just work achievement, I think like that.”
You're the one who made me hard to sleep. Your shadow is always present to disturb my mind, making these eyes difficult to close.
“Ehm, you've had lunch. If not, we can eat in the cafeteria. Coincidentally I haven't had lunch either,” asked Reza, then pulled both hands and bent her legs sitting with her back straight.
“I've eaten bread just now, still full.” Reject Galuh subtle, although in fact he did not have lunch. The reason is because he does not have a taste for food.
Reza rounded his lips and Galuh nodded in agreement. The atmosphere looked strange, and Galuh was uncomfortable with this awkward atmosphere.
“Oh, yes. I just came here to tell you this.” Reza finally spoke again. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone, then typed something and a few seconds later he kept his phone again.
Galuh quietly waiting, then soon heard his phone ringing. Galuh rushed to reach for his phone on his desk, and opened the short message he had just received. He took a quick glance at the man beside him before turning to read the writing on his phone.
“Stay for two nights in villa Cemara Rindang, Saturday and Sunday nights date ..” Galuh read the writing on his phone, then turned to look at Reza again. “That means the show is held next week. Have other friends been told about this?”
Reza shook his head, while playing both of his legs. “Not yet, the plan is later this afternoon before the change of shif we will hold a meeting with all employee coordinators discussing this matter.”
“Ehm, doesn't the villa belong to the Mahendra family?” ask Galuh again.
“Papa has decided to use his villa as a place for employee holidays. There are many rooms there, and the place is also very suitable to be used to relax with family.”
“Wah, surprise. It will be very fun to be able to spend the weekend there,” said Galuh happy.
After Reza, Galuh was silent for a moment while thinking. “The man came to see me just to talk about the employee vacation, not even a little bit asked how I was.”
Galuh sneer, Reza looks very calm. While he was agitated, despite trying hard to get the shadow of the man out of his mind but still his mind always floated back to him.
In the afternoon as planned, a meeting was held in Reza's study. Everyone seemed happy and welcomed the plan. Weekend holidays for employees in the villa of the boss, something that has been long awaited.
Each coordinator has got his job, and according to mutual agreement Galuh was chosen as the chief executive of the event. All accommodation from the trip to the destination has been prepared, also with food has been provided by the company during the event.
“I beg for help and cooperation of all colleagues for the smooth and implementation of our event this time. I hope that we can make very good use of this holiday.” Reza at the end of the meeting.
“Ready, Boss!” answer them in unison.
The meeting was over and they were all preparing to go home, with the exception of the night shif coordinator who had to return to work.
Galuh stood in the doorway, staring at Reza long before leaving her study. It seems like the man is still busy with his work. After the meeting finished the two no longer greet each other, and Galuh was disturbed by it.
Was the man angry and disappointed in her? His attitude was no longer as warm as before. Galuh asked for a moment of thought to strengthen his heart, but he felt like the man was dodging and getting away from him. And it made him doubt even more, whether the man really wanted it, or chose to retreat and give up to get his heart
Feeling that someone was watching, Reza raised his face. He was stunned for a moment, then looked back at Galuh. His face looked stiff, and his eyes seemed to hold something that was blurted out through words. “What's up? Is there anything you want to ask me about the meeting?”
Galuh shook his head quickly, feeling caught staring at Reza in such a way. He also turned his face away. “I go home,” he said without turning his head, Galuh grasping the rope of his bag is strong. “Don't be too tired to work, take care of your health too. Don't get sick.”
No word, silence. Galuh sighed and hurried to leave Reza's study. Walking down, his eyes warmed. His chest was suddenly crowded in the face of the reality of Reza's attitude that turned cold on him.
Reza clenched his hands tightly, until his knuckles turned white. Reza refrained from running and chased Galuh. His eyes were staring at Galuh's back which was slowly getting away. “I love you, love you. First time in my life I fell in love with a woman like you.”
“I'm not him. I can't possibly hurt the woman I love, you're the most important part of my life.” Whispering Reza's heart, he lays his head on the back of the chair behind him. His head suddenly hurt, and Reza tried to stay calm.
Too many thoughts would greatly affect her physical condition, Reza felt her nose heat up and a drop of red viscous liquid dripping down her shirt. Reza felt his gaze cloud, he tried to stay sober and immediately contacted someone.
