Love In Tragedy
Chapters 18. New friend

Inside the cafe, the five of them sat together. While waiting for their order to come, Desi tried to start the conversation.

" Uh... Nabiqhas. What were you told to do with Mr Erick? How can I bring all eucalyptus oil to my room? "

Desi who was indeed the type of person who could not help but be curious, asked Biqha without making small talk again. Making Biqha and the two men there immediately glared at him.

" Oh... So that's why you take us to lunch together huh... ? Just for Nabiqha doang coins? "

Sindir Doni on Desi by shaking his head. Makes Desi always sing her lips.

" lh.... His name is also curious. Instead of guessing, it is better to ask directly. "

Lina defended Desi. Meanwhile, Biqha was still silent. Confused to answer what.

Biqha recalls the words Yoga, which says they should keep their distance in the office. So that rumors about him who entered because of the recommendation of the company's leadership can be eased. But now that his colleagues are asking about him and Erick, he is confused as to how.

If he was honest, would they think negatively about him and Erick later. But if not honest, he is also confused about what reason to do.

" Hey Nabiqha.... Kok even bengong... "

Lina's thrust while raising Biqha's arm.

" Hithu.... Thadhi phak Ehrhik minhintha mhinyhakh khayhuh phuthih, kharhenhah khephalhanyhah phushing khathanyhah. " (That.... Mr. Erick asked for eucalyptus oil, because his head was dizzy he said.)

Biqha finally decided to be honest. Rather than lying will only make him confused, because it must continue to make lies again in the future.

" Weird.... Why ask for help just like you are not the other? You are new here. How could Erick know you have eucalyptus oil? Do you know our manager? "

Desi began to fish another conversation.

" Yes, what do you have in common with Mr Erick and our big boss Pak Yoga? "

Lina's asking was blatantly making Biqha feel uncomfortable. Dawn and also Doni can only shake their heads, seeing the two colleagues were looking for Biqha. Seeing Biqha who was confused and seemed uncomfortable with the question from his colleagues, Fajar tried to mediate.

" You want to have lunch or introgate Nabiqha anyway? Even if they know each other closely, what does it have to do with you?"

Dawn said a little tighter to the bigos duo. Seeing Biqha so uncomfortable like that, made her regret and feel guilty towards Biqha. Because they had obeyed the words of the two men, to invite Biqha to lunch with them.

Fajar thinks they want to get to know Biqha, and have a good relationship with Biqha like her. But it didn't.

" You know..... You guys make people uncomfortable know not? " Say Doni gave support to Dawn.

" lh.... What the hell are you guys? We are just nanya. "

" Yes... People just doang nanya"

Said Lina and Desi who were compact manyun because of the reprimand from Dawn and also Doni. While Biqha smiled faintly looking at their interaction. Because even though they often argue, but they look familiar with each other.

The food they were waiting for came. Soon they started eating their food. In the middle of lunch, Desi and Lina who were still very curious did not want to give up. They are still trying to find out, about Biqha's relationship with her two female bosses.

" Your Nabiqha is a relative of Pak Yoga? That's why you also know the same deket Mr. Erick. They are from small size, he said. "

Desi asked once again, trying to extract information from Biqha. Hearing that question again, the two male colleagues who were there were feeling faint.

Biqha immediately drank the water, after finishing chewing and swallowing the food.

" Bhughan. Hakhu themhen eshemhah. Khitha dhulhu shekhelhas. "

( No. I'm their High School Temen. We used to be classmates.)

The four associates were wide-eyed, raising both of their eyebrows together.

" Financial High School? "

Desi and Lina asked compactly as if in disbelief. While Biqha only nodded with a thin smile on her lips.

" That means you're the same age as dong?"

Ask Doni who also seems to not believe. Almost the average employee in the office thinks, Biqha just graduated from college and immediately got a job easily because of the help of the CEO.

Because of her cute posture and pretty face, not a few employees even say Biqha is still like a schoolgirl. Especially the male employees.

" Chumhah bhedha shethahun hadjhah." (It's only different a year. )

Biqha replied after finishing her lunch.

" Different years... But how many months is it, right?"

Lina asked again and was answered with a headband by Biqha. Making Lina link both her eyebrows.

" Ashdhe, hakhu lhulhus lhebhih chephat. Khalhau ghakh.... Hakhu shathu thingkhat dhi bhawhah. " (SD time, I graduated faster. If not yes.... I'm one level below them.)

The four colleagues rounded their mouths, O-Ria while being furious.

With the intelligence that Biqha has, Biqha can finish her elementary school at SLB faster than she should. Where other children completed their primary school for six years, Biqha was able to complete it within five years.

Perhaps it was because he was transferred from public school to extraordinary school, after experiencing pain and loss of hearing.

After they had all finished their lunch, they did not immediately return to their cubicles. They relax for a while in the cafe while chatting like other employees.

Seeing her partner Lina started to open her mouth with a look towards Biqha, like wanting to ask Biqha again. Dawn immediately spoke first, trying to divert the conversation that Lina wanted to discuss. The Dawn may make Biqha uncomfortable again.

" Prophetqha... Sorry about yes! I'm curious. You are deaf from birth or...... because of something? "

Ask the real Dawn also did not feel good about discussing the shortcomings of Biqha. Making others fall into a state of perk at such a sentitive Dawn question.

Biqha immediately shook her head with a smile, hinting that she did not mind Dawn's question. The dawn smiled with relief.

" You think... You are quite fluent in communicating and your pronunciation can also be understood. If someone is born, sorry... T. I can't talk either, right? "

Another fellow Fajar nodded in agreement to the words he said.

" Yes.yes.... Bener too. How can you speak Nabiqha? Uh... Sorry...."

Desi, who was thinly clasped, responded to the words of Dawn, then immediately apologized and covered his mouth with his hands. Realizing his mistake, after his arm was elbowed by the doni who was next to him.

" Whakthu hakhu umhur ehnham thahun, hakhu shakhit flhu and bhathuk bherkhephanjhan. Phunchaknyhah shahat hakhu dhemham thenghih shampoo steph, mhembhuat sharhaf bhaghian dhalham thelhingahkhu therghanghu." (When I was six years old, I had a cold and a prolonged cough. The peak when I had a high fever to the step, made the nerves inside my ears disturbed.)

Obviously Biqha to his colleagues, who always listen to the story carefully. In order for them to understand correctly, what Biqha said.

" Thibha-thibha adjhah hakhu khehilhan phendhengharhankhu. Khatha dhokther, hakhu mhenghalhami shenshorhinhurhel hirhing loss." (I suddenly lost my hearing. The doctor said, I have SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS) Again.

" What...? "

" Experiencing what? "

Ask his colleagues, who do not understand Biqha's words at the end of his sentence.

Biqha immediately took the phone in his blezer pocket, then typed the word SENSORINEURAL HEARING LOSS on google, looking for an explanation there. Then show it to his colleagues.

The four friends read it. Suddenly a concerned look on their face.

" Hakhu mhemhang mhashih bhisha. Thaphih kharnhah hakhu thidhakh bhisha mhenghar dhenghan bhahik, lhambhat lhahun phelhafhalhankhu phun bherhubhah. Jhadhi....."

(I can still talk. But because I could not hear well, gradually my pronunciation changed. So here's.).

Clearly Biqha again, who was responded to the nod of the head from his colleague who finally could understand his condition.

Although Biqha could still speak. But losing the ability to catch sound waves in his ears, it still affects the pronunciation of words that come out of his mouth and also his voice. Especially pronunciation in consonant letters.

It was due to his inability to hear his own voice. So even though it can still talk, it is difficult for deaf people to recite words carefully and straightforwardly like people in general.

" Khalhau thenhenya mhash Fhajhar ghimhannhah? " (What about the Fajr? )

Biqha asked Fajar who was beside her. Trying to break the silence that had occurred, after Biqha explained about the situation earlier.

" Oh.... My aunt was born. So his condition was no longer able to talk and hear. " Reply answer the Dawn.

" Yes loh.... I was surprised to see you talking to Nabiqha like this... "

Said Doni while trying to demonstrate the hand movements, which were done at dawn while chatting with Biqha in the room earlier.

" Yes.yeah... You guys were talking about what fit on top of that." Tanya Desi looked at Fajar and Biqha alternately.

" Nothing. Just say 'same-sama' aja, because Nabiqha said thanks after I wrote the note containing the message earlier Diana. " Obviously the Dawn later.

" Well..... This danger. They both have their own language, which only the two of them know in this office. So they can get us without us knowing. "

Lina said that spontaneity invites laughter from others. And they laugh together. No exception Biqha who though still shy and awkward. But they start to blend.

" Emang we both are the same Desi. Gossip mule his job. " Resist the Dawn while laughing.

Inwardly, Biqha was grateful to see that her comrades had already begun to accept her. Not to forget he also thanked the Giver of sustenance. Because it has made it easy for him to get a job. It also makes it easier to blend in, with other co-workers and make new friends.

On the other side of the distance someone was also giving thanks in his heart, seeing the togetherness of Biqha with his colleagues who began to look familiar.

' Thank goodness he has managed to blend in with the others. They also seemed to be able to receive Biqha well. '

Erick had intended to find Biqha to take him to lunch, because he was worried Biqha still could not blend and be accepted by other employees. Recalling yesterday even his division teammates sneered and gossiped about him. Erick is worried that Biqha will still have trouble making friends like she used to.

Erick so remembered when the beginning of school first, in the period of student orientation. Biqha has begun to be bullied and often laughed at by other students and students. It once made Erick very angry because Biqha just silently treated like that. Impressed to let them, oppressing and mocking him.

But when Erick defends him and tells him that he should fight back, and doesn't let them act that way against him. Biqha misunderstood her and turned to be angry with her. Making him upset himself for feeling ignored by Biqha.

" Khennhaphah jhadhih khammhuh yhang mharhah-mharhah? "

(Why are you angry? )

" Mhemhangnyhah khammhuh shihaphah? mharhah-mharhah ghakh jhelhas shammhah hakhu?"

(Who are you? Angry is not clear with me? )

" Hudhah..... Ghakh hushah shokh pherdhulhi shammhah hakhu. "

(It's already..... Don't care about me)

Biqha's words back then seemed to ring in Erick's ears. Erick unconsciously pulled the corner of his lips up to form a beautiful arch.

Meanwhile, in another corner. From a distance that is not too far, from the entrance of the cafe on the outside of the building. Yoga also noticed Biqha's interactions with the four colleagues. But with a different view.

There was a sense of anxiety in his heart seeing Biqha's familiarity with the male companion sitting nearby. Because in the eyes of Yoga, the employees seemed to pay more attention to Biqha. Different from the others. Even he saw the man's eyes always sparkling when he looked at Biqha.

Making him more agitated, considering that the man will have many opportunities to be close and spend time with Biqha. But for now, there was nothing he could do but let it go.
