"Nissa wait!!' Arya doesn't take it for granted with Nissa's decision.
"You can't just fire me! You have to be professional! We must not involve our personal affairs with work." The man stopped Nissa who was about to enter the elevator.
Nissa looked at Arya casually, then laughed softly while shaking her head.
"This has nothing to do with our personal affairs, Arya! You certainly know, the company has an assessment for the performance of each employee. Actually I've been getting reports about your performance all this time. You can ask the relevant party about your performance while working here. They still keep you in this company because of me. Coupled with the impoliteness of you who gawked in when I was meeting with a client. Does something like that still have to make me rethink not to fire you?" Nissa pushed Arya's body slowly to get out of her sight.
"But....."
"One more! Don't forget that tonight you take the things you gave me. My parents and I waited. Don't waste our time. Quickly finish our business. Don't you also have to immediately find the next target?" Nissa continued her sentence while pressing the elevator button so that the door would not close immediately.
Not yet Arya continued her sentence, the iron door in front of her was tightly closed. The man snorted annoyed.
"Look! You'll definitely regret Nissa!"
Nissa breathed a sigh of relief. Her dealings with that shitty guy will soon be over. And he already doesn't care anything about Arya.
Today was quite tough for Nissa who did spend more time in the office. Because, there is no schedule of visits to the field or meetings outside the office.
Not a job that makes heavy, but the figure of Arya that is so annoying.
Arya continues to force Nissa to reverse her decision to fire Arya. Unknowingly the man continued to chatter about his kindness all this time.
"So how much severance do you want from a performance that you think is good?" Nissa looked coldly at the man in front of her.
"What do you mean, Nissa? So you've only appreciated my devotion all this time with just money?" arya protests angrily at Nissa.
"Isn't that what you want? Sorry Arya. I told you very clearly! The company has a judgment for its employees. We cannot retain employees who do not have the ability to work well. Companies can lose if they hire employees who only eat blind paychecks."
Nissa returned Arya's furious gaze that was before her sharply. "So, you want to accept or not the severance we gave?" ask Nissa and get a bad decision from Arya.
"You're gonna regret doing this to me, Nissa!" Arya moved from her seat while continuing to curse.
"Sissles! Tell the relevant party to give severance according to his request. But remember, if it doesn't make sense to the company, just make sure he will never be accepted to work at any company!!" nissa's word and is taken by her personal assistant.
Nissa's word succeeded in making Arya who was already standing on the threshold of the door stop her steps. He turned his head towards Nissa, but the woman seemed to be focusing on the laptop screen in front of him. While Sisil directly contacted the HRD related to the order of the superior. Inevitably, Arya must accept Nissa's decision that cannot be challenged.
...*****...
The sky was dark, and the moon had replaced the sun. Only the dim moon existed without the stars and the others.
Nissa and her parents were already sitting in the living room. In front of them was Arya and her mother. On the table are five cups of tea that emit a distinctive aroma of tea leaves brewed in a special way. Not the tea bags that Mama Arya used.
"Bi, please take out all the items that are in the corner of the stairs huh!" imelda's word to the butler.
Together with two other servants they took the item in question and placed it near the sofa.
"Please check back on the items you brought with you" Bram looked at the two guests.
Bram doesn't like to talk stale. Ever since his guest came, he had already said that he already knew
the arrival of the mother and child.
"There is no need for Mr. Bram, I am very sorry for the cancellation of our children's marriages. I also regret Nissa's attitude towards us. I just didn't expect, if Nissa's well-educated woman could be so disrespectful to me," Amel started a chat and he looked at Nissa who had just been quiet.
"What do you mean Miss Amel?" Imelda did not accept Bu Amel's remarks about her daughter. He's sure Nissa isn't like that.
"That's the truth, Mr. Imelda, Mr. Bram. Your daughter could have spoken harsh words to me. She accused me of being a treasure-crazy woman. How could he have said that sentence, while my other son and daughter-in-law had great respect for me." said Amel. The woman immediately let out a sad expression as if, while Arya who was sitting beside Amel, rubbed the back of the woman's hand. Really good family theatrical.
"Then, what else did my daughter say, Miss Amel?" bram asked casually deliberately fishing for Amel.
"He kindly asked my son for a house dowry. You know how my son is, right? And, didn't Nissa promise not to burden their marriage dowry? Nissa could even make my son lose his job. I didn't expect your daughter to be that cruel and ugly to us" Amel said. Even the woman was now wiping away the tears that were seeping from the end of her eyes.
Silent. For a few moments there were no words spoken there. Bram looked at his guests in turn. Nissa hid her fist. Wants him to say everything, but his conscience still prevents.
"Is there nothing you want Arya to say?" bram asks the man who failed to become his son-in-law.
"There's Om," Arya looked up at Bram. Then he turned to look at Nissa who was just silent. "Nissa .. I know there's been another man who's taken my place in your heart, but why don't you tell me honestly. You even scapegoated me and my mama. This marriage is off because you prefer that businessman, right?" accuse Arya who managed to make Nissa round her eyes.
"What do you mean, Arya?" nissa did not understand.
"You know what I mean, Nissa, I don't know since when you guys were in a relationship behind my back. You have truly betrayed my loyalty" Arya said
Nissa really did not believe, how could Arya turn the facts upside down.
"Didn't you want to say something, Nissa?" this time Bram looked at Nissa who had been silent.
Nissa started telling me everything. Including the reason why cancel the marriage and fired Arya from the company.
"Do you think your own son has the ethics and manners of Ms Amel?" Nissa asked the middle-aged woman sitting beside Arya.
He was asking about Arya's attitude in the office when the man barged into Nissa's room this morning. "My company even gives severance that is nominally greater than it should be received. Shouldn't you be grateful for the kindness of your company?"
"I agree with my daughter's decision Ms. Amel" Imelda spoke up. "Just like you are defending your son, I will also do the same to my daughter. The decision my daughter made was very accurate! I can't imagine what kind of suffering he would experience if he were really part of a toxic family like you!". Imelda said furious. Now it's time for him to speak up.
"What do you mean Miss Imelda?" Amel did not accept Imelda's words.
"Your request to my daughter is absurd! Not married you have dared to ask for a car. Especially later after marriage, it is not impossible that you will ask for my daughter's life. After all, it is not Nissa's obligation because dowry is actually the duty of the men. But you didn't know he was asking all that to my daughter?"
"Cancelling this marriage was indeed the most appropriate decision!" Imbuh Bram firmly.
"Well, if you want this wedding annulled. I want you to double what we gave you!" Amel spoke arrogantly.
"No problem! How much money have you spent to buy those things?" bram asked, the middle-aged man smiled slantedly. "I hope you also double what we've given your son!" bram continues to make Amel and Arya look at each other. Their eyes glared in disbelief.
That means they have to return double the 50 million dollars Nissa's parents gave Arya as a wedding favor.
Seeing the expression of the prospective besan and the future son-in-law who did not so it makes Bram and Imelda smile cynically, as well as Nissa. Instead of feeling hurt and disappointed, the woman was very grateful.
"Isn't that fair?" imelda's speech just made the two men back to set their sights in the original direction. And it turned out that their expressions had returned as usual.
"Well, where could it be like that? The money you gave us is over. It's been given why it should be asked again? Isn't that disgusting ses6?" hiss Amel.
"Then what is the proper designation for those of you who ask for a car to the prospective daughter-in-law? Moreover, it was not Nissa's obligation. At first, we did not have a problem with 50 million money which is not much. But you guys started it. Asking us to return double the money you used to buy those things. Then don't blame us for following your request!" imelda said in a calm tone.
It sounded soft, but it was able to create a rumble in Amel's chest.
instantly Amel stood up and stared intently at the three people in front of him. "The rich man but his stingy cower the devil! Money does not ask for it back! We are poor, so whatever money is worth. Different from those of you who have treasure! thankfully my son did not marry her! Suppose all that is already done, surely my son you guys make lackeys without pay!" amel said with a breath of gasp because of his explosive emotions.
"Aryans! Get those things and we'll get out of this house!" His head turned to Arya who was still sitting in her place. Then he just waltzed without saying goodbye or just talking stale. And of course it makes Nissa and her parents surprised by the attitude and behavior of adult women but like children.
"Yes Ma!" Aray immediately moved from where he was sitting. Then step in the direction that Bram mentioned earlier, where Arya's belongings for Nissa were placed.
Arya several times to go back and forth carrying some goods out and then back in to take other items. Nissa, Bram, and Imelda sit sweetly on the sofa, seeing Arya finish her work without any intention to help.
After Nissa saw no more items left behind, the woman immediately stepped towards the door and closed it. Not to forget Nissa turned the key, worried if Arya or Mama Amel went back into the house. Nissa returned to her seat.
A long sigh rang out from Nissa.
"Nissa's really grateful for the cancellation of this marriage, Ma, Pa!"
"Yes dear, Mama is also grateful God shows how the attitude of your future husband and future in-laws before you get married. I don't know what happens if you're already married" said Imelda.
Nissa then laid her body on the sofa and used her thigh as a pillow.
"Sometimes the old man's hunch is right, baby! Hopefully this incident can you make a lesson in the future" said Imelda gently while stroking the long mane milk his daughter.
"Yes Ma, I'm sorry Nissa embarrassed you guys."
"It's okay, baby! Mama and Papa are far more concerned with your happiness than people say." said Imelda and immediately made Nissa's lips smile.
If Nissa's house feels warm, inversely proportional to Arya who is in the rental car that just came out of the courtyard of the luxury house.
Her mother did not stop nagging, even the swearing kept coming out of that mouth unknowingly if the swearing and bad prayer would return to herself.
"It looks like we're in too much of a hurry, Ma. If after marriage we just ask for a car, surely Nissa will give it." said Arya. At first he turned to his mother who was still angry, then the man's gaze Kemabli forward.
"So, you want to blame Mama? Didn't we agree to that?!!" mama Amel.
Hearing the words of the mother, Arya can only sigh while squeezing the steering wheel of the car. Tens of minutes passed until they arrived at their humble home.
After the vehicle stopped and the sound of the engine was no longer heard, rushed Mama Amel opened the door and then went down.
BRRAAAKKK
Mama Amel closed the door so hard, that made Arya who was removing the safety belt surprised to tiptoe. Not directly out, the man leaned his body on the back of the car seat. His head looked up slightly and several times he took a breath and then exhaled slowly again. It was obvious that he was carrying a very heavy burden of mind.
"Where else can I get a woman like Nissa? It's rich, it's pretty!"
Arya sighed, there was a sense of regret from being rash in acting.
"No! Nissa must be mine! Anyhow I should be able to get you back!" A sly smile appeared on Arya's face.
