Love In Tragedy
Chapter 51. Re-improve

The next day at the office, Erick kept coming to work as usual. After the drama that happened last night, Erick is still trying professionally.

A few minutes after entering his room, Miss Diana as the Chief of finance and bookkeeping came to see him.

" Mrs Diana..... Please ! "

Miss Diana entered after being invited by Erick, and immediately sat in front of Erick's desk.

" What's wrong mom ? "

Diana handed her a rectangular white envelope, which she had brought with her. Erik received the envelope with a frown.

" A letter of resignation ? Want to quit this company ? "

" Not sir. It was the letter of resignation of Nabiqha. "

Erick was surprised. He widened his eyes towards Miss Diana. Erick didn't expect, Biqha would actually do what she said last night. Even Biqha did it this fast.

" Where is he now? Has he left? "

" No sir. I have not given him a decision on his resignation. I told him I should discuss this with you first. So he's still working as usual right now. "

There was a sigh of relief heard from Erick. For a moment Erick thought while still holding the white envelope containing Biqha's resignation letter.

" Did he tell you, what was the reason for wanting to resign from this company? "

" She said she had to go somewhere. So he can't continue his work here. "

Hearing that statement, Erick wondered in his heart.

' Where is he going? He doesn't even have any other relatives, does he.....?! '

Which Erick knew Biqha did not have other relatives, because Rahma's mother had told me that she and her father Biqha were from the same orphanage.

After a moment Erick dissolved in his own mind, he again asked the almost middle-aged woman.

" Did he tell you where he was going? "

" I don't have the authority to ask you further sir. Because it seems like it's a personal matter. And you must have known the real reason first, from his sudden decision. "

Erick flinched with his alleged subordinate.

" You mean what ? "

Miss Diana seemed to take a deep breath, before answering Erick's question.

" I'm sorry about Mr. Erick. It might seem presumptuous to me if you interfere in your personal affairs. You and Yoga are my boss. "

Hearing Miss Diana say the name Yoga, Erick was a little surprised and immediately thought, could it be that Diana knew about the incident last night.

' Why did Diana talk like that? Is it possible that he could hear our conversation from his room? Because it's impossible for Biqha to tell the real reason...'

Erick had a monologue in his heart, recalling his room next to that of Miss Diana.

" Erik sir Do you know ? Currently you, Pak Yoga and also Biqha are the conversation of employees in this division. "

Hearing that Erick increasingly convinced, that what Miss Diana meant was an overnight incident. For a moment Erick slightly lowered his head and closed his eyes while shaking his head.

" I don't know how urgent the matter is between you Erick sir..... but I am very sorry, why did you choose to debate it in this office during working hours ?! That's really unprofessional. "

Erick lowered his head again, he felt ashamed and deeply regretted last night's incident.

" You should understand. Even though the employees out there can't hear clearly what you're arguing about. But the commotion that happened here last night, could have been heard by them. And that will obviously make the employees speculate on what happened. "

" I'm sorry for the inconvenience that happened last night..... "

Erick felt bad for Diana. Although his position is higher than Diana's mother, but Erick has great respect for Diana as a senior.

" No, Mr. Erick. You're my boss, you don't have to apologize to me. I just really regret that. I know it must be out of Erick's control. Because I am sure.... You are not the one who started triggering the uproar that happened. You are a wise and professional person. You are not a person who likes to mix personal problems with work. Especially during office hours. "

Miss Diana looked back in breath, before continuing her words.

" Okay, Mr. Erick, I have a lot of work to do. I leave the decision on this matter to you. Excuse me first. "

Miss Diana chose to end this conversation, because she was well aware of her capacity as a subordinate, who had no right to interfere in the personal matters of her superiors.

Hearing the statement, Erick could only pull a slight corner of his lips.

" all right.... I will consider this matter and talk about it directly to Biqha later. Thank you Diana....."

" Everyone sir. "

Miss Diana got up from her seat and walked away. But when Diana was almost at the exit, Erick called her back. So that he turned back.

" Mrs Diana. You think..... Would it be better if we agreed to Biqha's resignation? Or do we ask him to reconsider? and keep him in this company? "

Diana stepped closer.

" Talk about professional work.... It would be a pity if this company lost its best employees. He's very smart and responsible sir. Although he is new here and he has physical flaws, but he can be more deft than others. He is also very tidy and meticulous in making reports. "

Erick the mangosteen approved Diana's statement about Biqha.

" but.... It comes back to his personality. When it comes to personal matters.... Of course we can't force him to keep working here. Especially if he does not feel comfortable working here. "

' If that I also already know mom. Huh.....'

After the departure of Miss Diana, Erick looked back at Biqha's resignation letter while continuing to think.

' I honestly don't know what Bi should be....... I know why you're doing this, but..... Is this really the best decision? '

Erick is hesitant, considering the character of his best friend who is very stubborn but also very fragile when it comes to Biqha. Especially if you remember the incident when Biqha disappeared, Yoga is very frustrating to fall and become addicted to alcoholic beverages.

Erick's mind kept floating in view of last night's events. After Biqha showed her firm stance on Yoga, Biqha immediately passed by leaving Erick's room. And for a moment Yoga tried to catch up to him, but Erick stopped him.

At first Yoga is very angry because Erick does not let him follow Biqha out. But after that he could only sit weakly, crying for his broken heart and hope that had been lost. Biqha really does not want to be in touch with him anymore.

In his fragility Yoga apologizes to Erick and constantly begs him, to help him persuade Biqha. So that Biqha does not go away and disappear from him again.

" I can't do anything Ga. That was Biqha's decision. And that's also because of this attitude. It was Lo who meant Biqha made that decision. "

" I beg Rick....! Right now it's just you he's horrifying. Don't let him get out of here, Rick. Persuade him to stay around me, Rick. I can't live without Biqha. I'd go crazy if I lost him again. "

" Lo must be able to accept the reality Ga, forget him ! Biqha is not a selfish woman. He will not be able to be happy with the suffering of others. Forget him Ga.....! You can not maksain lo will continue the same Biqha kayak gini. "

" I beg Rick.... Help me out ! Don't let him get out of here. I promise.... I promise I'll do whatever Rick does, as long as he stays. I beg...... "

Recalling the incident last night, made Erick inhale and exhale violently. He looked back at the white envelope, then he grabbed it and he put it in his desk drawer. Erick wants to focus on finishing his work first, before talking to Biqha or Yoga again today.

After finishing some of his work, before lunch Erick called Biqha into his room. Biqha came in after knocking on the door first.

" Come in Bi.... ! "

Erick orders Biqha to enter, while moving from her desk and moving to the sofa in front of her desk. Biqha followed him to the sofa and sat on the left side of the sofa. Erick is on the middle side.

" Mrs Diana gave me your resignation letter..... I did not expect you would act this fast Bi..... "

" Lhebhih chephat hakhan lhebhih bhahik." (faster will be better. )

Biqha replied quickly and firmly, but with her head slightly lowered. Erick observed Biqha's face with the remnants of grief left in her eyes.

' Biqha must have thought about this matter all night crying.

" Continue.... What will you do after this? Do you want to sell cake again like first? "

Biqha nodded slowly.

" Mhungkhin mhemhang hanyha hithu phekherjahan yhang chochok hunthukhu. Thaphi hakhu pherchayha, Allah ghakh hakhan mhenhuthup phinthu rhizkhi bhaghi ohrhang yhang mhu bherhushaha. "

(maybe that's the only job that suits me. But I believe that God will not close the reserves to those who will try. )

" I don't doubt that from you in the slightest...... I'm sure no one will be able to turn off your steps to move forward. But are you really planning on leaving? Where are you going Bi.....? Not to finish this semester, will be Rendra's last year of college ? So you can't leave this town. You can't go alone, can you, Bi......?! "

Biqha lowered her head even more.

" Mhungkhin thidhak unthuk shemhentharha whakthu hinhi. Thap..... (Maybe not for a while. But..).

" So you haven't prepared everything thoroughly yet right ?! "

Erick decapitated Biqha's words which sounded hesitant. Biqha could not answer him, but just looked down while taking a breath.

" bi..... I honestly don't know what to do now. I know you're doing all this for good. You want to be strict with Yoga, and I agree

lo same. But I'm not sure it's Bi's best decision....... I fear this will only make Yoga more reckless. Or it will just make it worse as before."

Biqha looked straight at Erick with her forehead slightly furrowed.

" Bi.. when you disappeared, Yoga told me that you previously made a video call via webcam. And at that time he re-expressed his feelings to you, and asked you to promise that after finishing college you will receive his love. But you just said you don't want to promise anything."

Biqha nodded, confirming that.

" Mhasha dhephan ghakh hadha yhang thahu. Jhodhoh, rhezhekhi dhan mhahut, Allah yhang thethukhan. " (the future no one knows. For the soul mate, sustenance, and death, God has ordained. )

" Yes... I know why you are not so. But after that, it disappeared. Yoga considers that as an attitude of rejection. He was heartbroken and very frustrated at the time, and began to turn alcohol into his escape. He changed instantly because of that Bi...... He went wild and started playing around with wa......"

Erick stopped his words. Realizing that it was inappropriate he told Biqha. In any case Erick has no right to open his best friend's worst disgrace.

" Bhermhahin - mhahin dhenghan hapha? Whanhitha's? Cherithakhan phadhakhu shemhuanyha ! " (Playing around with what? A lady? Tell me everything! )

Erick did not expect Biqha to guess. Erick became confused himself because he had misspoken. Erick had to explain it.

" One of my friends who attended the psychology school said he became insecure because of your refusal. Therefore he always wanted to prove himself if he had the attraction, when there were women nearby. He wants to prove that he deserves to be loved and owned by someone. "

Biqha frowned more and more.

" Forgot that problem. Bottom line.... I'm afraid he'll come back down like Bi..... It'll make everyone hurt more. Last night he even repeatedly begged me to persuade you not to leave here. "

Biqha was unable to speak, her eyes began to glow. He did not know what to do, so that everything could improve as before.

" Bi.. let me try to talk once again the same Yoga. I'll try to make him understand. Before that..... I have not yet agreed to your resignation. After all, you have not prepared everything carefully. When you are sure and steady with the direction of your goal, I do not block your steps Bi...... You deserve to be happy. You have the right to determine your own way of life. "

For a moment they looked at each other in silence.

" I hope you can understand this decision Bi..... And again it's the end of the month. You know, we'll be very busy at the end of the month. If you leave now, the rest of the staff will be overwhelmed. Hang on for a while..... I will try to get everything back better. "
