“Because of you.”
He looked at me, and I kept staring down, not daring to look him in the face. I'm more focused on calming my heart, why can't I work with him at the moment, I hope he can't hear my heart beating.
“You avoided me."
I kept facing down and shook my head, she thought I was not ashamed?!! I just slept with my own boss and he can usually say that !! Don't know how hard I'm looking at him right now.
“Yap.. you meng.”
“No.” I answered slowly and still did not look at him.
“Then, shouldn't you stare at the person who is talking?”
“That's impolite, sir.”
I felt him straighten his body and sigh, I know the cause, must be because of sir's call.
“Do you realize, with your behavior like that, people will suspect what happened.” He was silent for a moment, giving me time to answer. “And you know my repurtasi would be bad if people found out about last night?”
“No sir, I just.. don't know how to.” I said lirih.
“So you'll stay like this makes people ask questions, especially Vector, and make it all unravel?” he said he kept looking for me, hey.he got me drunk, and he got angry too?
“No si..”
“Your answer makes me unsure, ku.”
“No, William!!” I said irritatedly and immediately looked into her eyes, looking again at her beautiful eyes, and at once my consciousness began to come to my senses with my nose that began to smell familiar when I was near her. I can't stay around him for long.
“Don't you know how hard it is to control myself knowing that I sleep with my own boss, and never get caught up in my mind to make people think weird and make your repurtations bad or anything.”
I saw him a little surprised and speechless as he watched me protest with his annoying smirk.
“Bye.” I said straight back and opened the door and went back to my room. I know I look weird and he must have been digesting the incident just now, where an employee snapped at his own boss.
First sleep, second yell, finish my history, hopefully he did not mind the incident just now.
...****************...
The day after we returned to Manhattan, there was no change in his attitude as well, staying cool as usual.
My day went on as usual, accompanying William to meetings and taking care of all the data and emails that went into the company's main email before being sent again to William. And right now I'm standing in front of him checking the file I just gave him.
After that I had an appointment with Dolorez and Ashley at the nearest pub, we often come to the place when we are dizzy with the situation.
When I entered the pub, I looked around to see if they had come, and I found 2 hands that were waving at me and immediately I walked towards them.
And I saw 3 people sitting next to Ashley and leaving the place next to Dolorez hanging still empty. After sitting down I immediately called the waiter to order some mummies and snacks to fill the stomach.
“Hai... Who is she Ashley.” I asked with narrowed eyes to tease Ashley as usual.
“This is Edo, my lover..”.
“During this time he kept silent have a lover, surprise this month.” Tymphal Dolorez's.
Ashley almost never told me about her personal life, but she was among us who cared the most when we got into trouble.
We talked for almost 3 hours and we didn't miss the time to get down to the dance floor. Forget all this saturation all day at the office, and try as much as possible to enjoy music while swaying. Ashley was with Edo and I was with Dolorez.
People who don't know for sure will think that Dolorez and I are together. I, Dolorez and Ashley have been friends for a long time, we have always been together, even though we all have lovers, we all know. And it just so happens that Ashley also rarely shares stories, only me and Dolorez who share problems with each other.
The music is very loud, making the voice harden when speaking. We jog together, laugh together and forget our problems for a moment. I also did not worry about people teasing me, because whenever anyone approached, Dolorez immediately approached me, as if driving away the person, I felt safe.
After a long time of dancing, I came out of the crowd because I needed to go to a small room. My body feels light now, maybe the effect of the drink earlier. I felt the phone in my pants pocket vibrate and make a small sound because it lost the sound here.
I saw a number I didn't know, but I felt something was important and made me feel uncomfortable. Based on feeling, I picked up the call, and kept quiet for a while, but before I wanted to say “halo” I heard someone say
“Is this true with Annabella Phillip?” Ask the guy across there.
“Ya, who ?”
I kept hearing the guy talking on the phone, and at first I was still relaxing listening to him, then getting more panicked and very panicked. I ran back to the dance floor to find my friend.
I circulated my gaze and did not find them, the more the night more visitors came, making it even harder to find someone.
I finally gave up and decided to send a message. Immediately I got out and intercepted the taxi.
...****************...
Immediately I ran towards the 3rd floor directly towards a ruabgan that was no stranger to me. Before I got to the room, I saw that the door was wide open and I saw someone smiling weakly and a doctor examining him.
“Hi brother, why gasp like that?” said someone lying on the bed.
I smile while setting my breath “You okay?”.
I saw him smiling and nodding weakly. I saw the doctor also look at me and asked me to meet him in his room.
“How are you Stef? I got word from.”
“I'm fine brother, not as sick as usual.” He said with a smile.
I could only endure the pain in my heart, Stefani, my only remaining family, was being weakly beebaring all this time depending on hospital treatment. Yeah, I have a sister, and I only lived with her for years without parents. I've been the backbone all along, and my happiness all this time was just seeing my sister smiling through life like no other, not lying in a hospital like this.
I put my feet out of the room and headed for the doctor's office. Inside, I sat down and heard every explanation the doctor gave me. The initial premonition when I was on my way to the hospital was answered already now.
“... Stefani had dropped for a while and fortunately there is a nurse here who is traveling, so it can be handled immediately.”
“Has he improved?”
“For the percentage to improve and recover it is very little, in the case of stefani at this time we can only give the best, late handling can also cause the condition to worsen. I recommend for routine chemotherapy and not postponed.”
After a few moments of chatting and some advice given by the doctor, I immediately went to the administration room and registered for chemotherapy the next day. Then I went back to the bathroom and saw him watching television.
“How ??” he said right away when he saw me enter the room.
“You will be fine, the doctor recommends for chemotherapy tomorrow and after that we will go home together.”
“... I will accompany you tomorrow.”
“No need, I'm fine.. I'm familiar with the nurse here.” He said straight away.
“No, I'll stay..”
“Please brother, I'm fine.. I don't want to see brother grieving, you said after this we will go home together.”.
I looked at him as I walked to sit next to his bed and hold his hand that was not infused, reassuring again. “Alright, but I'll call Gabriel.”
“But..”.
“Iya or I will keep you company.”
He thought for a while and nodded small. That night I accompanied him and slept on the seat next to his bed, resting my head on the bed.
Until the next day, I was ready with the clothes stefani brought initially. Don't forget I called Gabriel to come by noon. When you want to go to the office, the doctor goes in for routine checks every day. I automatically postpone waiting for the results of the doctet. After a while, the doctor said that Stefani's condition is good and can do chemotherapy later.
I immediately went to work after the doctor left the room, saying goodbye to Stefani and assuring her that Gabriel would still accompany her later in the day.
I saw the clock was at 09:37 local time. I don't know if I'll make it in time. The streets today are crowded as usual, from students, employees, parents, families and even many tourists seen enjoying their morning.
When I got to the office, I went straight to my room and turned on the computer. I saw William's schedule this heart, and there's only one meeting after lunch.
I can't focus on working today, my mind is still left in the hospital, wanting to keep Stefani company at the moment. My heart aches when I know that the smile she gives is not a smile of happiness. I feel like I failed to be a big brother, I know that he endures tremendous pain every time his illness recedes.
My daydream was interrupted when I suddenly heard the ringing phone in front of me, not waiting long for me to answer what turned out to be William.
“Come to my room!.” He said to turn off the connection.
I saw the phone in my hand, did I make a mistake? Is he mad because I'm late today?
Before moving on, I took the time to look at the glass and found the former tears that had not dried. It turns out I was crying, I wiped my tears and saw everything was tidy again. Without a long time immediately headed for William's room.
I went inside after knocking at the door a few times. “There's ap.”
I could not continue my words when I saw the scene in front of me. William, who was sitting with a woman in his arms, saw the woman continue to attack William with a few kisses on his jaw, I looked at her from behind and I could tell that she was happy with what she was doing, but William's face explained otherwise.
I saw William looking at me, and the initial expression that showed anxiety, became a relief. He stood up, as if his favorite item had come to distract whatever was in front of him.
As soon as he approached me and grabbed me, another unexpected thing he peeked at me before saying a sentence that made me want to punch him.
“You've come baby.”
