Love In Tragedy
Chapters 17. Ericko Ardiansyah

Second day at the office....

Biqha gets ready to start her work. Shortly thereafter Erick arrived at the office, with a facial look that looked a little less fit. Biqha watched the movements of her former rival with a slightly astonished look. Because he looks a little lethargic unlike yesterday.

While Erick entered his room, and immediately dropped his body on the sofa in front of his desk. Erick held his head which still felt throbbing pain. Even though he had taken headache medicine. I don't know why since he woke up this morning, his head hurt.

Was it because he was late for dinner last night? Or because of work fatigue? Last night from the Yoga house, he took the time to visit his outlet. After that, I just returned to the apartment. Arriving at her apartment, she cooks instant noodles for her dinner. Because I feel no appetite.

After that he still continued his work, also checking the sales reports from some of his outlets. And take care of the budget for the materials that he will leave to Neta.

Until midnight, Erick had just finished his work. And at dawn when he woke up he felt his head was heavy and a little dizzy. Until now the pain in his head has not subsided, even after taking the drug the pain is still felt.

Erick squeaked his head as well as the back of his neck. Trying to ease the pain in his head. As he felt he could not stand it anymore, he decided to call the pantry. Try asking for help from an OG or OB to buy something that can warm his head and neck.

But when Erick was about to pick up the office phone on his desk. Suddenly he remembered Biqha, who used to have a habit of always carrying eucalyptus oil in his bag.

Biqha is different from other girls in school. If girl friends in school used to like to carry perfume, powder and also liptint, he always carries eucalyptus oil in his bag.

That Erick knows because every friend who is sick, Biqha always tries to help by giving eucalyptus oil that he always carries. It was also what made him love to mingle Biqha with the name of a colossal baby.

Erick thinks that instead of him asking OB for help, it would be faster if he asked Biqha for help. Who knows, Biqha is still doing his old habits.

Erick went out and approached Biqha's desk. Then he flicked his finger in front of Biqha's face, so that Biqha would turn her back towards him. Because Biqha was focused on her work and did not realize when Erick approached her.

" Can you help me for a second? "

Erick asked Biqha, which made other employees pay attention to them as well. Biqha raised her eyebrows, looking at Erick questioningly. A second later, he nodded his head.

" Take me into the room for a second...! "

Erick's orders then turned back into his room. And Biqha followed him into his manager's room.

After they were inside the room, Erick immediately sat on the sofa and Biqha stood beside him.

" Biql... Do you still like to bring eucalyptus oil now? "

Ask Erick to the point with language that is no longer formal, as it was in front of many other employees. Because Biqha is his old friend, Erick feels no need to use formal language on Biqha if they are both.

Biqha raised her eyebrows again, with wide eyes. Confused by the intent of Erick's question.

" My head is so dizzy Bi.... Don't know why? I have been taking medication, but it has not stopped either. " Erick on Biqha.

" It used to.... Do you like to bring eucalyptus oil at school, now still not? If it is still, it's okay for me to dong! My head is so dizzy Bi.... "

He nodded again while turning his head back.

' Kirain needs what help? Don't know just want to ask for eucalyptus oil doang. Why not just say it from now on? Must be because of the prestige of the front of other employees. '

Biqha muttered in her heart. But he also did not have the heart to see Erick who seemed to endure the pain.

Without saying much more, Biqha immediately turned around. Take the eucalyptus oil in his bag. Then back into Erick's room. Without him realizing his movements steal the attention of other employees.

" des.... Didn't you see what Biqha took in her bag? "

Lina asked in a half whispered voice to Desi, her co-worker and colleague gossiping in this division.

" Yes I saw. Eucalyptus oil. Why did he bring eucalyptus oil into Mr Erick's room? Don't tell me he wants to mijitin Mr. Erick.... You see, Mr. Erick seems not fit like today. "

Desi's speech began to guess. Instantly denied by Lina.

" Abronounced lo Des. Yes, the handsome boss wants to be in the same incandescent as the Biqha." Lina answered with a brush.

" Why did he bring it in?"

" Where do I know. " Answer Lina again.

" Uh... Lin, can't Erick sir have another relationship with Biqha? " Desi's saying is getting more guessing.

" No way.... "

Lina replied quickly with her ferocious expression, as if not accepting by what Desi said.

Suddenly Diana also came out of her room and looked for Biqha.

" Where's Nabiqha? " Task Diana to the other employees.

" In Mr. Erick's room, ma'am. "The answer of several employees is almost simultaneously.

" In Erick's room? " Task Diana again because she was surprised.

" Yes mom..... Erick called him. "

Answer Fajar the colleague whose desk position is right in front of Biqha. Trying to explain to Diana.

" Oh..... If he comes out, send him to my room....! "

Miss Diana's orders.

" Good mom..." Answer the Dawn again.

In Erick's room, Biqha immediately gave his eucalyptus oil to his manager. Erick immediately took it and rubbed the oil on the forehead of the right and left side of the eyebrow tip. Erick also rubbed it on the back of his neck.

" Thank U....."

Erick returned the eucalyptus oil to Biqha, but Biqha did not accept it.

" okay. I just pinjem....! Thank's Bi....."

Erick then stepped onto his desk and sat his body there.

" Mhashih hadha yhang pherlhu dhi bhanthu lhaghi phak? "

(Is there anything else to help, sir? )

Biqha asked in an awkward and formal manner to the manager. Makes Erick slightly pull the corners of his lips, smiling funnyly.

" There is no need to be too formal if there is nothing else. It feels strange to be called sir same temen himself. "

Erick leaned his head against the back of the chair, as he still felt his head slightly heavy.

" Hinnih khan mhashih jham khanthor dhan khammuh hathashan dhi shinnih. Mhashakh mahu phanghil nhammhah hadjhah...." (It's still office hours and you're the boss here. Time to call it a name.... )

Obviously the real Biqha also felt uncomfortable with this kind of situation.

" Yes... Yes...... Whatever. You can go back now. "

Receiving such an order, Biqha rushed out.

Arriving at his work desk, Biqha immediately saw the notes attached to his desk. Biqha took it and read it.

Nabiqha, you were sought by Diana and asked to go to her room.

Dawns.

Biqha turned to his colleague, Fajar. Seeing Fajar smile at her, Biqha also returned with a smile that was no less sweet.

" Makhashi.... "

From a distance Biqha thanked him without making a sound, while slightly bowing her head. Then Dawn replied using sign language that said 'sama-sama'.

Biqha was surprised and happy to find the fact that there was a colleague in his division who understood SIBI (indonesian sign language system). Likewise with other colleagues, it also seems very surprised to see Dawn using sign language.

Biqha approached him....

" Khamuh bhishah bhahasha isharhat? "

(Do you know sign language?)

Biqha asked in amazement, seeing her partner in front of her using sign language.

" Not really.... Just understand some cues. Because I have the same aunt as you. "

It was clear to Biqha. Biqha was also bearded to hear his explanation.

" It's there.. meet Diana! If you wait too long, you can get angry. " Hisband.

Biqha nodded her head with a smile. Before he turned around and passed, he did not forget to thank Dawn once more.

****

After finishing all the work that Diana gave her today, Biqha was again made curious by a financial report that she had just revised. There was written the name of his financial manager in the name of 'Ericko Ardiansyah '

Biqha even made sure to miss Diana, that Ericko Ardiansyah was the right manager who was in office at this time. Biqha is really curious because of it. Erick's full name is Ericko Danuatmadja.

Why is it now Ericko Ardiansyah? Why did Erick change his name? Why doesn't Erick work at his own family's company? Such questions kept coming to Biqha's mind.

Biqha recalled her chat with Yoga last night. When she accompanies Yoga dinner at a cafe. At that time Biqha who was still curious, asked Yoga about the reason why Erick could work at his company.

" Yes.it memeng actually Bi. About a year ago, the financial manager at my company was previously proven to be cheating and embezzling company funds. Because of that, my company had experienced a little shock. That's why I asked Erick for help. And it just so happened that Erick also did not get a new job at that time. So all I ask him personally, to take the position of financial manager in my company. The situation was also urgent at that time. And I think it would be better if that position was occupied by someone I could trust like Erick. With his intelligence as well as his experience in doing business with other great entrepreneurs in this country, it's clear I really need him to advance my family's company."

Clearly Yoga at that time who still Biqha remembered in detail.

" Even compared to the manager, Erick was like my representative in the office. Not infrequently he is the one I send to face big clients. You know Bi. So then.... I need to learn a lot from him. "

Biqha once asked Yoga, why does Erick not work in his own family company? Yoga refused to answer.

" Why do we keep talking about Erick? Why don't we talk about us?" Yoga at the time.

Biqha also did not want to talk about Erick, but somehow she felt very curious. Because for him this is pretty weird. Erick is the son of a wealthy family. Plus the fact that he just found out that Erick has changed his last name.

' Is Erick's family really broke? But why change the last name anyway? Is his family in trouble? "

Biqha was still wondering in her heart.

' Duh...... Why am I being the same gini problem people anyway? If only his family were bankrupt....... Kasian. Same with Erick. He can survive even in a bad state. But indeed from the past, he also did not like to boast and show off his family's wealth anyway.'

Although for Biqha, Erick is often annoying towards him but Biqha also does not deny that Erick is actually good and not arrogant even though he was born from a rich family.

In the middle of his daydream, suddenly Biqha's shoulders were patted softly by someone. Biqha awoke from her daydream and turned to someone who patted her on the shoulder.

" Why dream? It was time for lunch.... Want to have lunch with us? "

It turned out that the person who patted him on the shoulder was Dawn. The others behind him, Doni, Lina and Desi, take him to lunch together.

Biqha was quite surprised to see the bigos duo also join her to have lunch together. But Biqha did not want to waste the opportunity to establish a good relationship with them. Hoping that after getting to know each other, their assessment of him would change even better. Like the proverb says

' Don't know then Don't Sweetheart '

Biqha hopes that after getting to know each other personally, they can make a good friendship.
