Mr. Bully
Back to You - Selena Gomez

Varo throws his suit to the sofa, he skimmed emails from Indah about the audit schedule of financial statements by external audits. According to Indah there was a change of audit team from last year and Varo only replied 'noted: while unbuttoned. After all, the audit will be handled by the finance department, Varo only needs the final results.

Varo's phone vibrated, Amirah sent out a barrage of photos. Amirah, Sebastian, and Kinasih are spending time in the Netherlands, not forgetting photos of Sean and Ana.

After replying to the message Varo put his phone down.

In this quiet atmosphere, Varo recalled the words of Bima, it had been six years but his heart still could not be owned by anyone.

During this time many women come and go, but none of them really last long. The pleasure that appeared in his chest was only temporary, because after that Varo again felt lonely. He never felt happy with all the relationships he had in six years.

Beautiful, sexy, smart women, conglomerate family children, or even independent women. None of them could really take Varo's heart. All only brought pseudo pleasure and in an instant ended creating an incredible void within Varo's chest.

Varo feels frustrated, he wants to feel the same blast of happiness as when he was with Olivia. The day that Varo freely poured out his heart, laughed, and cried in Olivia's arms.

Varo got up pulling a desk drawer taking a sketchbook. The book of the owner who never returned. Wherever Varo looked, there was no trace of Olivia. It was as if it was completely lost to the earth.

Varo took a pen and wrote it on the final page, just below Olivia's ‘sleep well’.

Feels like home but you just be something that I'll never have.

...*****...

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon Varo just woke up from sleep when he heard a bang outside the bedroom door. Varo grimaced, glancing towards the alarm clock. Mbok Yati will not dare to wake Varo up that brutal, let alone this is almost noon, his task is to wake Varo only when Varo advised to be awakened because there is an important meeting.

“Who the hell?” varo muttered annoyedly stepping down from the bed. His face was immediately bent as he saw the look on Bima's face smiling with no guilt.

“Eat yuk. You don't want to die in sleep, do you?” bring Bima. Varo clucked, he wanted to continue sleeping but Bima unceasingly pulled his hand.

Varo brushed off Bima's hand and stepped towards the dining room. Various types of food are available on the table, making anyone think there is a celebration in the room.

“This you all are cooking?”

“Neg. Mbok Yati is cooking. I'm just part of the request menu and wake up lu doang. I'm cool as if I wanted to smell onions.”

Varo looked at Bima closely from top to bottom. The man's hair was trimmed, his clothes ironed, and his shoes were slippery black. An appearance that can only be seen once a month. Bima's smile also expanded widely, unlike the usual days the man was suddenly deftly taking food for Varo.

“Why you?” Varo's forehead wrinkled, if Bima's behavior is like this, there must be a desire.

“Neither papa. Kangen just watch lu” replied Bima kalem pull a chair and sit quietly.

The two ate in silence, until later when they finished eating Varo forced Bima to confess. He really could not stand the sweet attitude of Bima, it was like being in the middle of a mine.

“Udah you talked. What do you want?” ask Varo. Bima whistled softly neyodir a glass of water.

“Sit first. Not good to talk while standing up. Impression is not polite”

“Lu want what? I asked until five times you did not answer, you come out now” threatened Varo.

“Iye, iye. I answered this. Very sensitive father, many problems?” bima replied. “Gue want to request a month off.”

Varo's eyes immediately stared at Bima sharply. “And you want your salary to remain full?”

Bima laughs. “Half also not papa. Yea? Yea? This time, I have important business. Next month I will be the most successful employee. If you need your title as the best employee I will take”

“Lu what business?”

“It….Want some marriage business. My girl is filled, so I must marry quickly”, Bima explained successfully made Varo choked, then laughed out loud.

“Bim, Bim, you look alim. But junior you brutal”

“But I'm responsible, mentally I'm ready to go home, financially I'm mature. I even plan after marriage Lia no longer need to take care of the cafe. His job is short, accepting and giving love to me. The rest fall every day, her husband is already rich”

“Gue pity. Lia beautiful, pinter. Kok want to be stuck in life with lu” taunted Varo grinning wide. Bima snorted, but did not reply, the fate of his death is now in the hands of Varo.

“So how?” chase Bima is impatient.

“Yes. There's vacation. Marriages. But can't be more”

“Lu is your best friend and boss.” Bima raised both her thumbs happy. “Well now you take a shower. Today I'm your escort to the office.

Varo stood up from the chair and entered the room. About thirty minutes he came out, fully dressed.

“But very good sih” praise Bima.

“Mending you shut your mouth tight, before I change my mind about lu” leave said Varo. The two went down to the basement to Bima's black car.

“Lia how many months?” varo asked as the car slowly drove away.

“Mau two months. Caught yesterday. Quickly lately he often nausea, where the more frequent sensian again”

“Lu must be extra patient. My sister was pregnant yesterday, really hate to squirm her husband's face every morning waking up”

“Don't take it. I can go crazy if Lia does not want to squirm I” reply Bima geleng-geleng refused. “By the way today has entered the audit period huh? Yesterday Bram went back and forth to take care of the same room access for auditors who want to come”

“Iya. I want to check too. Said his team was different from last year”

“Engagement manager is still the same?”

“Still. Ms. Ryu, just back to Japan. But Arya said next month back Indonesia”

“Next year still want audited KAPnya Arya? What do you want to move to big four?”

“Moving. Bang Rava was planning to move, so I went along. After a few years I returned to Arya”

“Abang you still often monitor ya?”

“Pantes really like a toddler. Turns out there was a wish” Laughter Bima. About half an hour into Ravent's basement. “Pas at two, not too late. I'm nemenin bos”

“Until other employees copy your behavior. I kick you out of the office. Fuck with friendship”

“Kan today doang. You urgent kudu request permission leave directly from the big boss” bela Bima pressing the elevator button.

The elevator door clinks, both of them step down the corridor of accounting space that is quite colorful with a statue of a mini survival game character. Bram, a new staff accounting out of the photocopying room near the dispenser with a single breath.

“Morning pak” said Bram was wrong when he saw Varo and Bima coming together.

“Your face why? How did you become a permanent employee?” goda Bima fad.

Bram just grinned wide then hurriedly stepped away, joking with Bima is cool, but if joking in front of Varo different story. Instead of Bram being mispronounced and ending up in the kick of the company, mending he went straight away. Because even though working as an accountant at Ravent is quite a mental pressure, but for a salary size far above UMR standards, especially Bram is lucky because he was appointed a permanent employee right after two months of internship.

“Turning-back and forth kinds of ironing”

“I forgot to take the printout of the sample list that Pak” requested Bram replied as he ran back to the photocopy room.

“Forth pak” greet Beautiful out of the accounting room with a stack of odner. “Tumben sir is a bit unlucky. Usually dawn is already in the office”

“It's not coming dawn Beautiful. But this boss of yours did stay in the office” replied Bima.

“Well, yes poster” said Varo was even more focused on seeing the poster that was stuck outside the photocopy room. Mini survival game poster to promote the latest merchandise, the result of collaboration with one of the famous fashion brands.

“It looks like our store should open branch” murmured Varo. Bima's smile instantly disappeared, opening branches meant that her work would increase.

“I agree pak” support Indah. “Open branch in market area week aja pak”

“Back”

“My house is in the area sir, who knows you want to move mekahin I make ngurus branch office”

“Ndah, if the problem, you will die next to Varo” giggles Bima amused. “But you still live in the market week? Didn't you move?”

“Neither sir. I spent a lot of time in college for my sister. Excuse me first sir, would like to enter file” obviously Beautiful then step away.

Bima immediately elbowed Varo slowly. “Tuh code, cariin apartment gih. It is difficult to get loyal secretary Kayak Indah”

“Lu who take care of”

“OK. But leave permit I signed today ya.”

Varo nodded, Bima hurriedly pulled out a cell phone calling one of her friends the owner of an apartment building near the Ravent area.

“Excuse me Sir, Mr Bram where are you?”

The soft voice of someone from behind made Varo and Bima turn back. Both of them spontaneously froze with rounded gazes of surprise upon seeing who the owner of the voice was standing behind them.

A short-haired woman with a formal boat look complete with an ID card that reads ‘Alexandria Charmel.’ His eyes were also rounded, looking as surprised as Varo and Bima. The three of them both gave the impression that they were looking at demons in broad daylight.

“Olivia..” call Varo in disbelief.

There was no mistaking it, the woman he saw now was Olivia. The figure he had been looking for for six years, was now standing in front of him. A striking change is seen from Olivia, her hair cut short by a boat, making her look much more mature, as if the old figure of Olivia had died. But still, the look in his eyes made Varo's feelings again oscillate.

“Mbak Charmel is done?” Bram appeared to break the silence between the three people. Olivia turned to force herself to smile.

“I can request email access to the copier no sir? I want to scan some tax documents for documentation, let it be sent directly to email” asked Olivia a bit awkward.

Bram nodded. “Bby mbak, please access me only, mari-”

“Neventless. Pake my access aj” cut Varo. After a long moment of silence from shock, his expression now changed. A meaningful smile fell on his lips. Varo glances at Olivia's ID card at a glance. “Mari Mbak Charmel come with me”

“You don't want to be moved to the warehouse, my suggestion mending you back to the accounting” room hold Bima when Bram was about to follow Varo go with Olivia into the photocopy room.

Bram was confused, but he finally nodded and walked away, leaving Bima still silent and staring at the photocopy room door that had been closed tightly by Varo.

...*****...

Olivia stared at Varo. There are many changes from Varo that make Olivia realize that she has grown into an adult man. A foreign feeling filled Olivia's chest, as if she was looking at the same person with a different figure.

Varo rolled up his shirt sleeves casually and opened the photocopier access. “Since when did you become an auditor at KAP Arya?” ask Varo calmly then step aside to let Olivia use the copier while she waits behind.

Olivia did not answer. His lips were tightly locked and could not say anything. Olivia was caught off guard, as if her six-year hiding was useless.

The person he had avoided from the first day of reading the full name of CEO Ravent was now standing right behind him. An event whose percentage probability of occurrence is only about zero point five percent now occurs to him.

The gentle touch on Olivia's arm made the woman's body flinch. Without permission Varo touched it, just like he used to. Olivia could clearly smell Varo's perfume and felt her body docked to Olivia. Varo's face lowered and whispered from behind.

“Where are you?”

Olivia was nervous not to play, her hands could not even move to finish her work. Varo's existence in the room was enough to make his mind go awry.

“I've found you everywhere. But you're missing.”

The distinctive sound of emphasis makes Olivia like she is confined in a poisonous room ready to kill her at any time.

“Now you can't run anymore. There's our unfinished business.”

And just as Varo finished his words, he turned Olivia's body towards him. Olivia gulped, her expression deathly pale. 

Varo looked calm, yet his gaze was so piercing. Varo clearly made Olivia aware. Now she is in the man's grasp and there is no chance for Olivia to escape.

This time Varo won't let Olivia go.
