LUNA (SUBSTITUTE WOMAN)
MEN CANNOT BE IMPATIENT

Luna returned to the office with her hands full of various kinds of food and drinks ordered by her co-workers. He carried all of the items with great difficulty, but not the slightest complaint escaped his lips. He even put aside the sadness that enveloped the chest because of the sudden departure of the mother. After all, the busyness he did in the office can make his mind distracted, so that he does not constantly feel sad and down.

"I'm back" said Luna, pushing the door with her feet. Then he was busy dividing the food according to the order.

"Lun, don't forget later please deliver my clothes in the locker to the laundry, yes," Windi said, as Luna had just placed the woman's order on the table.

Luna nodded. "Ready."

"Me too, Lun, please later during the break get my clothes at the laundry shop. "Siska chimed in."

Luna nodded back. After a while of doing this and that, Luna was finally able to rest. He sat down in his chair and spread out both hands. "Ah, the leg," he murmured.

Luna's job is not a difficult job that requires a lot of expertise, enough to have a healthy and strong body, also agile, it's all enough. Moreover, Luna's co-workers included people who really like to rule and enjoy when their orders are done well. So do not be surprised, if Luna's work is so piled up, especially in the hours of Coffetime and lunch.

Just as Luna was stretching her body, suddenly the noise in Anyelir's room shocked Luna and her co-workers.

Luna, who had a good relationship with Carnations, immediately ran into the woman's room to check what had happened, and how surprised Luna was when she saw Carnations slumped on the floor.

"Mom, my God, ma'am, what's going on?" Luna approached the Carnation and knelt beside the woman, then helped the Carnation to sit down.

Carnations grimacing. "I tripped," said Carnations, pointing to the end of the tapestry attached just below the sofa and the guest table. The end of the rug is folded so that it can make anyone stumble if not careful.

After helping Carnation to sit on the sofa, Luna immediately ran outdoors, took duct tape and scissors from her desk drawer and returned to the Carnation workspace.

"What are you going to do, Lun?" anyelir asked, when he saw Luna sticking the end of the tapestry to the floor with duct tape.

"Taraaa, I fixed it." Luna smiled cheerfully, feeling proud of what she had done. However, Anyelir instead shook his head with a pouting face.

"You're ruining the scene" Anyelir commented.

"Ck, rather than you falling over, I'd rather ruin it a little."

"Yes, that's right, too." Carnations massaged his legs, and he asked Luna, "Where have you been, Lun? Count how many days you have not been at work. Do you want to get fired?"

Luna shook her head. "I'm sorry, ma'am, there's something I haven't been able to get to the office for a few days. If my paycheck gets cut I don't have a problem at all, the important thing is I don't get fired. The office is the only normal life I have."

Carnation sighed and leaned against the sofa sandraan while watching Luna who was currently massaging her legs. Since first hiring Luna in his office, Anyelir was very curious about Luna's background, but Luna never told him a single bit about her life, it could even be said that Luna covered everything. If not for Anyelir feeling indebted to Luna, where maybe Luna can work in her office now without a cover letter and CV.

Drrt, drrtt, drrtts.

Carnation's phone lying on the desk rang. Luna immediately got up and grabbed the phone and gave it to Carnation.

"Trims, Lun," said Anyelir, then received a phone call that turned out to be from her husband.

"Hello, Anye, can I ask you a favor. There are some files left at home. I've been looking everywhere, even in the closet, but I can't find the file anywhere. Did you see it. If, yes, please remember." Arjuna's voice rang out from across the call; formal, firm, heavy, and at length. It was as if Arjuna was talking to someone else, not to his wife.

Carnation sighed, then he said. "The file was carried away by me. I thought it was mine, it was yours. Take it in my office-"

"Can't you send someone to deliver it to me. I'm in a hurry, I'm sorry." Arjuna said again.

"Well, I'll send my men there. All in all to soften Kevin, Kevin's school is home early today."

"Well, Anye, thanks then and I'll see you at home tonight." Arjuna disconnected the call.

Carnations placed her phone on the sofa, then looked at Luna with a meaningful gaze.

Luna who understood the meaning of the gaze could only resign, although picking up Kevin was not part of his task, still he did, anyway he got a salary for everything he did in the office, including picking up and taking care of his superior son, Kevin Junior Evan.

At first Luna was reluctant to get out of the taxi and run around the streets. Of course he was reluctant, in addition to the dust that was so disturbing his breathing - Luna was allergic to the sunlight was also so hot. Perhaps he fainted from exhaustion, moreover he had not eaten since morning, and last night he was sleep-deprived because he was busy crying over the memory of his mother who kept appearing in the head.

However, his phone that kept ringing made him inevitably have to get off the taxi and let his body overheat.

"Hello, where are you now?" asked Arjuna, who had been calling Luna since then after getting her number from his wife.

Luna clenched her feet on the asphalt in annoyance. "I'll be there soon, sir. The streets are so jammed and I'm forced to-"

"Hurry, five more minutes the meeting's about to start." Arjuna turned off the phone.

Luna felt very panicked, she indeed could not be urged. Luna would instantly become panicked if she was under pressure. So no wonder if the woman immediately increased her running speed. He did not even care about his safety as he crossed without regard to passing vehicles and ....

Ciiiits!

The sound of a tire squeaking from a two-wheeled vehicle is deafening to the ears. Followed by the voice of the driver who intended for Luna.

"Where are your eyes, huh? You deliberately crossed over while I was passing by, so you could ask me for compensation, right?" shouted the bespectacled man who was now glaring at Luna.

Luna did not care about the man's curse. He immediately stood up with difficulty and apologized, then continued his limping steps.

Seeing Luna walk away with injured legs and hands, made the biker feel guilty. "Hi, Miss, let me take care of your legs and hands first!"

Luna turned around and waved. "No, thank you and sorry."

Arjuna Even paced in the lobby of his office. Every now and then he glanced at the circular watch on his wrist while nagging.

"Two minutes left. Jesus, where is that woman?!" moaning Arjuna, while rubbing his face violently.

"Please wait a minute, sir." Rayan, Arjuna's assistant tries to calm Arjuna who looks so panicked and upset.

"can't. We've been waiting since, he should have arrived by now." Arjuna took out the phone from inside his suit pocket and made a call back.

"Hello." Luna's gasping voice replied on the first ring. "I've arrived in the lobby, sir, where are you?"

Arjuna immediately turned his gaze to the entrance, and he found Luna there, standing confused by her sweaty body and torn jeans on her knees, there was even blood seeping from behind the woman's pants.

"I'm here" said Arjuna.

Luna looked at the view. There were not many people in the lobby, so he could immediately guess which one was Arjuna, moreover he saw Arjuna who was staring at him while holding a mobile phone.

Luna decided on the call and stepped up limping toward Arjuna. Her long, ragged hair looked messy and stuck around her neck and face due to sweat.

"This is the file, sir, thank you again and I'm sorry. Goodbye bye!" luna said sharply as soon as she arrived before Arjuna. Luna knew she shouldn't be so rude and cold to Arjuna, but Arjuna's impatient attitude annoyed her.

"Rest first, my assistant will deliver you and-"

Buk up!

"Sir, he fainted" cried Rayan.

Seriate.
