Love In Tragedy
Chapters 14. Keep your distance

Erick rushed down to the tenth floor, where the room was. Before entering the room, his gaze caught Biqha's back from a distance not too far away. Erick stared at Biqha from behind.

Erick again remembered his chat with Yoga, somehow there was still doubt in his heart to hear all the answers Yoga. She was worried that Yoga still had feelings for Biqha. And the reason behind the existence of Biqha here, is because of the desire of Yoga to get back close to Biqha as before. He was worried that trouble would occur later.

Because of the status of Yoga now has a wife. And this relationship is not just an ordinary romance, but also concerns the business of their two families. The two families will not let the relationship break up just like that. Especially if they know of a third party, especially if it's someone like Biqha.

Even if it is their privacy. But as a person who knows Yoga closely as well as Biqha, Erick felt the need to warn them.

' Is it better that I tell Biqha about this matter as well? About the status of engaged Yoga. That way Biqha can take a stand, if Yoga tries to approach him.'

Erick thought of talking to Biqha as well, but a second later he hesitated.

' But what will he think later? Suddenly I am talking about this.... Will he not misunderstand later? He always misunderstood me..... Yesterday if it wasn't for Rendra, it didn't feel like he would want to talk to me. Never talk, not even talk. He always thought I was a shitty guy, who liked making him sprain. If I suddenly talked to her, she would think I didn't like her being here. This is his first day at work.....'

Erick continued to stare at Biqha's back. Without him noticing the many pairs of astonished eyes, seeing him speechless while staring at the new employees in the division. Some employees looked at each other alternately, as if asking their colleagues about the strange attitude of their manager.

Meanwhile, Erick was still busy himself with his thoughts.....

' Yeah..... I better let it go first. I warned you Yoga. He certainly will not be rash again, and will think repeatedly if you want to act. It seems that he also could not have had any relationship with Alin. Because Yoga decided to accept their arranged marriage as well because she fell in love with Alina. Well, maybe this is just my suspicion. Well... stop it Erick..! Stop over thinking like gini.'

After a long debate, Erick decided to trust Yoga and advised himself not to be suspicious of Yoga anymore.

At that instant Erick also realized his foolish actions, which were glued while looking at Biqha from behind. Conscious has become the center of attention of the employees there. Erick clumsily clumsily rushes into his room, embarrassed by the embarrassment he tries to cover up.

****

Lunch hours have arrived. Biqha had completed all the work given to her on time. Now he starts playing with his cell phone trying to send a short message on Yoga. And take her to lunch together.

Biqha wants to express her gratitude directly to Yoga. Because it gave him the opportunity to work in this company. Yesterday Biqha had thanked him in a short message from her phone, but she felt it was not enough.

It does not take long Biqha chat messages are immediately replied by Yoga.

Yoga :

//Sorry Bi. I can't.

I have to meet clients at lunch.

Next time we have lunch with him.//

Biqha took a breath and exhaled slowly after reading the message from Yoga.

' Yes. As a company leader, he must be busy. Did I do anything for him, huh... ? As a thank you...?!'

While Biqha was busy thinking of giving something to Yoga, Erick walked out of her room.

Seeing Biqha who was living alone in the room and looking pensive, Erick stopped his steps.

' Why does he bengong alone so....? Even now he still looks sad like he used to be.'

Erick asked in his heart while observing Biqha. Then he approached Biqha, and shook his hand in front of Biqha's face. Biqha was surprised by it.

" Why bengong? Don't you want lunch? Ntar maag lo relapsed, again..... Because I'm late to eat."

Erick asked Biqha who was looking at him awkwardly.

" Lunch with me ! Yeah.that's if you want. If not... Yeah.so...."

Erick also sounded awkward at the end of the sentence. While Biqha immediately pouted hearing Erick's words.

' Ih... Is anyone intent on not making lunch? Bummer byebelin. Eating alone in the cafeteria is awkward. Because there will be whispers. But with him... Surely he will be out of it nih ngeledekin me.'

Biqha was worried in her heart.

" Want to come with me....? Even dumb again. "

Erick was annoyed to see Biqha only speechless not responding. But in the end Biqha nodded.

" Yes... Yuk.! "

Biqha rushed up and was about to take the wallet out of her bag, but suddenly Erick touched Biqha's arm. Biqha looked at him.

" Take the bag..." Erick's orders.

" Hemmhang mhahu mhakhan dhimmhannah? " (Where do you want to eat?)

Tanya Biqha was confused. Because Biqha initially thought they would eat in the office cafeteria only.

" Have come along. Not much of it. Bosen tau eating in the cafe downstairs."

Biqha immediately carried her bag and then stepped following Erick.

While on the other side.....

Yoga continued to look at her postel, which showed her a chat message with Biqha. Then he squeezed his phone in annoyance. Then cupped his arms over his head. Feeling very upset because today could not go as he expected.

Before he got to the office, he had already imagined how much fun the day would be with Biqha. Especially when his dream came true last night. Where Biqha received her love, as she had hoped long ago.

But everything has to be delayed for a while. He had to keep his distance first with Biqha, in order to avoid the rumors like Erick said. Want not to want him to do it.

With slow steps, Yoga stepped out of his room to rush out of the office. Trying to relieve his fatigue and heartbreak while eating lunch outside. Who knows, the atmosphere outside the office can make him a little entertained.

Arriving at the office parking lot, Yoga saw Erick's car driving not so far from him. Even he still had time to see who was next to Erick in his car, before the car's glass was closed.

' Biqha...... Why did he go with Erick? Does Erick want to tell Biqha everything? Gawat.'

Yoga ran to his car. Immediately start the engine and go fast, trying to catch up with Erick's car. Yoga continues to accelerate the pace of his car so that it can erode the distance with Erick's car and not lose track.

Yoga keeps following Erick's car from behind. At the intersection, Yoga was forced to stop his car, because the traffic light was red. And he lost track of Erick's car.

Yoga was so upset that he hit his own car. Yoga confused as to how now. Yoga tries to contact Erick, but Erick doesn't answer. Yoga is getting upset. Yoga gets even more upset when trying a second call.

The phone dropped down, in the front seat of the passenger next to Yoga. Somehow the fate of his phone, Yoga doesn't care. All he had in mind was Biqha and Erick. He couldn't imagine what would happen, if Erick really told Biqha about her status.

***

Erick drives his car down the city streets looking for a lunch spot for himself and Biqha.

At first, Erick was planning to eat at the cafe. But when he saw Biqha pensively alone in the office, he became pity and decided to take her out to lunch together. Erick tau Biqha must have felt uncomfortable eating in the office cafeteria, because he must have noticed the scorn of other employees towards him.

Erick therefore chose to take him to lunch outside the office. Although he was confused where to eat. Until finally he thought of their favorite meatballs in the old school days. Erick hasn't stopped by his favorite meatball shop in a long time. Although the distance was a bit far from the office, but Erick thought it was no problem.

Erick touched the shoulder of Biqha who was looking at the street, in order to talk to her. Noticing the touch of a hand on his shoulder made Biqha turn her head.

" Biql.... We'll eat at the meatballs in the mang Udin, won't we?"

Erick asked Biqha who had just been silent. Like avoiding conversation with him.

" Huh...? Bhakhso mhang Hudhin khan jhauh dharhih shinnih. Hemhang khebhehuuh?"

( Huh...? The meatballs of the Udin mang are far from here. A hunt? )

" It's not papa... A little while back in his office. I want to eat meatballs again. I haven't eaten meatballs in there for a long time."

Erick answered with a straight forward look.

" Khammuh ghak phaphakh, kharnhah khammuh mhenhejher. Thaphih hakhuh khan bharhuh mhashuk kherjhah, mhashakh udhah thelhat bhalhik khanthor phas mhakhan shihang....? Nhanthih hakhuh bhishah dhaphat theghurhan." (You don't papa, because you're the manager. But I just entered work, cooked late at the office after lunch...? I can get a reprimand later.)

Biqha replied a little worried that later they would be late back to the office. It's his first day at work, he can't make mistakes. If you want to stay in this company.

" Silent.... No one will dare your country. There is Yoga.... "

Erick replied lightly with a smile.

Immediately Biqha became annoyed at Erick's words.

' Tuh kan. Start.nyebelinya. Intentionally insinuating me. Because she must know I got accepted for Yoga. Basic nyebelliiinnnn...... '

Biqha muttered in her heart.

' It's ok Biqha. No need to be in terror. The important thing is that you get a job opportunity. To prove your ability. Let them all say what. You just have to prove to them that you deserve and deserve this job.'

Biqha continues to encourage herself, so as not to be influenced by Erick's insinuations.

While Erick who realized his mistake, because he saw Biqha speechless with the look on his face became wrong.

' Ouch..... What the hell is Rick...??? Your mouth is a habit that cannot be controlled. So the sewot is the sensi girl.'

Erick cursed himself for the mistake he made just now.

Suddenly Erick's phone rang, seen the call from Yoga there. When Erick tried to pick up the call, the call was interrupted because Erick's phone was lowbat.

" well..... I forgot to do that again."

Erick tapped his own eel, because again he forgot to charge it on his phone.

" Khennhaphah? Shiaphah yhang thelhephon?" ( Why? Who is telephon?)

Biqha asked who was curious to see Erick's reaction like that.

" Yoga. But I'm lowbat. You bring hp no Bi...? Can you please contact yoga? You have the number, right?! "

Erick asks Biqha to contact Yoga. Because I was worried that there was something important that Yoga wanted to talk to her about. Biqha took her phone from her skirt pocket. Biqha is always pocketing her phone, so she can know if her phone is shaking. Because of incoming calls or chat messages.

Biqha tries to call Yoga number, but the number is off.

" Ghakh hakhkhifs... " (Not active.).

Biqha replied while shaking her head.

" How is he not active? He just called me."

" Thapphih mhemhang ghakh hakhakthif. " (But it is not active)

Biqha replied to Erick. After trying to contact Yoga again, she loudspeakers her call to have Erick hear it for himself.

" Why do you think yoga is related to me? "

Since Yoga could not be reached, Erick thought about meeting her later when she returned to the office after lunch.

And because of that, Erick canceled his plan to eat at the meatballs shop in Udin. To shorten the time, he decided to have lunch at their nearest current location. To get back to the office immediately.

During lunch there was almost no chat between Erick and Biqha. In addition to short pleasantries about work.

Upon returning to the office, Erick and Biqha immediately parted ways. Biqha immediately returned to her room on the 10th floor while Erick headed straight to the 12th floor to meet Yoga.

" Female.... Yoga sir back at the office?"

Erick asked the Yoga secretary.

" Not yet sir......" Answer Febi quickly.

" Does Pak Yoga have any meetings outside?"

" No one sir. If there's a meeting outside, me or Pak Fahri must be asked to come."

Answer the secretary again.

" Why can't his phone be contacted? What's going on?" Ask her again.

" Yes, Feb.... Later if Pak Yoga has returned, please tell me yes...!
