Ica with her promise to both her parents could not refuse to remain in the public relations division. Ica believes that by entering the public relations division, she will be more independent. The promise of Ica has indeed gradually disappeared, but now even torment his mind by always facing the fierce boss perfectionist one in the public relations division.
"Just two weeks of work is not at home, deh, it feels. Who feels at home angry mulu mulu every day with a fierce boss?" Ica raved at Lala senior who guided her while still a new employee to date. They were stopping by a cafe to eat together and just chat after work. They have been very familiar since then.
"Just relax, kali, Ca. Precisely the nature of Mr. Bayu makes employees become contagious discipline. I used to be like you, too, Ca. Not at home in this division. But now I've been in your father's company for a year. So at home, Ca. I will get used to it too." Lala tried to calm Ica down.
"But, Ms. Lala that time every day in anuratin mulu, no, anyway? You see, that fierce boss is always mad at me if I admit a little mistake, a little you know, uh scolded. Just a little, Mother. I'm sure anyway, as perfectionist as anything he might not care about the same little things that are not too important. And not overdone either because of a small mistake. So I'm even more upset when I talk about that fierce boss. It's a little late, anyway. Be a little angry." Instead of being calm, Ica increasingly evaporated her emotions brightly. Maybe the people around them will know what they're talking about. Ica has never been slow to talk if she is angry. But not until screaming too, Ica just harden the sound.
"Yes, I don't get angry every day either. Maybe you're special, kali. He said that if a guy likes a girl, he usually likes to judge the girl so that he can get more attention from the girl. Continue to be, Mr. Bayu has the blessing of Mr. Raka to always reprimand you without hesitation if something goes wrong. That's what I think, Ca," Lala replied in response.
"But not to overdo it as well, right, Ma'am? Capek knows to be the center of attention of one company because of being scolded by the same fierce boss. Her handsome face was so useless if it was so fierce," Ica continued in annoyance.
"Oh, thank you for telling me my face is handsome."
Ica felt familiar with that voice. Why did that fierce boss show up while Ica was giving it away? But at least Ica felt calm because only the sentence he said was likely heard Bayu.
"I'm sitting here, yeah. The other bench is full." Bayu who came while holding a cup of drink began to sit himself in the empty chair there. Leave one more empty seat, because all that remains are two empty seats.
"Please, sir," said Lala too late. He was also surprised that Bayu suddenly appeared just like that.
The arrival of Bayu made silence come between them. While Bayu casually sip the drink he brought earlier while staring at the screen of his phone. Maybe he was checking the office email on his phone.
"Hello? Yes, yes," Lala received a phone call that broke the silence. She was told that her husband was in front of the cafe to pick Lala up.
"Bak Lala's been picked up by her husband, huh?" ask Ica.
"Yes, I went first, yeah. I'm saying retreat too, Mr. Bayu. Assalamu'alaykum," replied Lala. Then she somewhat hurried to head ahead for fear that her husband would wait.
"Wa'alaykumussalam," replied Ica and Bayu together.
"Well, I was left out, anyway. It's not good to be alone in a cafe." Ica spoke, then looked at Bayu and said, "if that is the case, I am also allowed to go home, yes, Mr. Bayu. Please enjoy your drink."
"Not to reason. We're not just the two of us in this cafe. It can even be said that this cafe is quite crowded. So don't worry, I'm also sitting not too close to you, really." The sentence Bayu uttered indirectly told Ica to stay in place. Ica did not get out of place after hearing Bayu's sentence just now.
"I'm suspicious, you're avoiding me, right? Wh why? You're afraid I'm hearing what you're saying to me in the back, aren't you?" Bayu continued with an interrogation gaze.
"Sir Bayu heard everything?" Ica Response. This is what he feared, but he was calm because he thought that Bayu only heard his last words.
"Unfortunately, I seem to have heard all your conversations from the beginning. You seemed so engrossed in conversation and didn't realize that I was close to you." Bayu answered without any hesitation.
"Why are you like that? Eavesdropping on that guy's talk is not a good deed. If you have been near me and Mbak Lala, you should just greet us and do not eavesdrop again. Everyone has privacy, and my chatting time with Mbak Lala is our privacy. I'm not happy with your attitude, sir." Ica spoke out loud.
Ica was about to step foot out of the hot seat. But only two steps, Bayu stopped him. "Wait," said Bayu.
Ica did not immediately sit down as she had done before. He just stood in place without looking at Bayu, even he was reluctant to stop. But his heart told him to stop.
"I didn't eavesdrop on your conversation. You guys are the ones who chat with a tone that if others want to eavesdrop on it must sound clear. The cafe is also close to the office. What if an office employee or even an employee from another public relations division hears first-hand? Are you that bad at vilifying me? I should have objected. Indirectly you told everyone in this cafe that I was zoning you. The next time you are in a public place like this, what else near the office like this, lower your voice when you want to gossip about me. I don't want if anyone else knows me and maybe even if someone who isn't from the company hears it then assesses my performance from what you're saying, it will hurt the company. Don't be because you gossiped about me, the company name got ugly. That's all I want to say. Please continue your journey." Bayu warned with decisiveness. This time he did not want to get angry because there were a lot of people in the cafe. So, he set his voice to be heard only by Ica.
Ica was upset by the warning from Bayu. "Even outside the office he is equally fierce," Ica said.
"Basic kolot, fierce boss, ngeselin, nguper," said Ica before actually continuing her footsteps. Whether heard or not by Bayu, which is clear Ica now shrinks the volume of his voice. May have been affected by Bayu's warning just a moment ago.
This type of wood is very good for Ica. Because whatever Bayu said, Ica unconsciously obeyed. Even his own father gave up on commemorating Ica. Only Bayulah could influence Ica, even change her.
