My Office Boy's
21. First Fuss
Surya was tidying up his bonsai when Kalia came to him with a panicked expression.
" Kang.I'll talk to you for a minute." Kalia immediately pulled Surya's arm which was busy cutting dry leaves on his bonsai.
" Eh.eh..what's the matter?" Surya followed in his wife's footsteps with his hands still holding the scissors.
In the living room..
" Lepasin was the scissors. Just look at it."
Surya immediately kept the scissors on the table.
" Atuh da meuni hastily. What the hell is it?"
" My best friend wants to come here, Amel and Ira. Inget right? who loves me to drink wine and make me stumble." Kalia explained like not willing to remember the embarrassing incident first.
" Oh yes, remember. Why are they here?"
" Mama said they came to the house this morning, cried with Mama and apologized. Then they got a story from Mama that I was pregnant and married with Akang. They want to come and congratulate us."
Surya nodded trying to read Kalia's words.
" It's good if he wants to congratulate you and apologize to you too Mama."
" What's good? They don't know about Akang yet, if it's just me." Kalia's speech stopped. He felt bad to say it.
" Just an office boy..? I'm ashamed of having an OB husband?"
Suddenly awkward situation.
" I don't understand, they have a high taste about guys."
" Taste what tea?" ask Surya bloon.
" Taste.." obviously Kalia was upset.
Surya rounded his mouth to understand.
" Yes, how do I keep going? Da akang mah is in fact just an OB".
" Just lie what is difficult anyway.do not tell me if the work is OB. Tell me what part of the cake.supervisor cake, or what. They won't ask much after that either."
Surya remained silent.
" Why not be honest? Let it be lighter than his heart." replied Surya while stroking Kalia's arm dear.
" Iiih..saidin temen I've got a high taste about guys." Kalia rejected Surya's hand with skepticism.
" That's them, not Lia. Why in samain?" surya was still astonished.
" But I'm ashamed.." Kalia was silent. Surya's gaze turned dim. Mournfully.
" Can't help me this once. Don't tell me anything. Don't talk about anything with them if they are nanya" said Lia again with a slightly raised tone.
" I don't think I want to lie. The sins are mostly."
" You want to tell them that, if I'm pregnant because of sleeping with OB when I'm stoned?? Want to be shy in front of my friends, huh?" Kalia started to get emotional.
Surya sighed, his eyes looking very sad and disappointed.
" It's better to go first, don't have to meet Lia because I don't want to lie. I am afraid that God is getting angry" said Surya quietly with a choked voice.
" Yes good.you just go. Let me not see you." Kalia emotion then went to the room and locked herself away. Surya let out a heavy sigh, he stomped his forehead which instantly pulsed painfully.
***
Surya left the house to avoid Kalia's friends, and now Kalia is bowed languidly in her room. He felt angry and felt guilty towards Surya. Surya's words to be honest with his friend ring in the ear. But the ego to keep his self-esteem is too high.
Can you imagine, if Ira and Amel knew that the one Kalia was sleeping with when she was a mabok was an OB, where would she put her face? While in the eyes of his friends, Kalia is a figure that is so idolized. Have a brilliant brain, a beautiful face, a brilliant career and all things proud.
It was because of her friend's mistake that Kalia was now at this point. But that doesn't mean Kalia's life has to turn sad, does it? He should still have the pride. At least his friends would not look down on him. As much as possible he should cover up Surya's true identity. Lying all out would Kalia do. This marriage will last for corn. What business will be like, let him think about it. What matters now is that his self-esteem is still soaring. It's good that his friends don't see Surya today, so until the time they get divorced..Amel and Ira will never know what Surya looks like. How thought.

" Liaaaa..kangen very much like you, sumpaah." Amel immediately kissed Kalia's right and left cheeks. Ira was followed after that.
" Iih.your man's house is really good. Seger seger is like cucumber lalapan." said Ira origin.
Kalia grin.
" Yes.he is a gardener. Sovereign of Mama so it's directly clop." explained Kalia.
" Wow..Mama immediately got a flow of ghosts yes. It's good." Amel.
" Yuk entered yuk." invited Kalia to let her friend into the house.
After sitting in the living room..
" Where's your husband, Li?" ask Amel
" Oh.again get him out. Business sequence."
" Your husband is a businessman too? not one office with you huh?" search Ira. It is the most to Kalia's best friend this one.
Kalia fell silent.
" Yes he works with me but has a business too."
" Oooh.." they answered.
" What business?" thought the wetting would stop there, but Ira was still curious.
" Hmm.agrobicusiness."
" It's promising dong huh? your house has a lot of ornamental plants. That's your husband's business too times huh." Kalia can only grunt.
Whatever you think, the important thing is that everything is safe. Inner Calia in the heart.
" Li.tales dong, after the events of that time we both really-was worried about you. But you have no story. Finally we ventured to meet Mama Rani. We're being scolded, Li. But we accept, we're wrong. I'm the same Ira still want to be your best friend, that's also if you like. So any risk we will bear that is important our relationship is still good. Again sorry I'm the same as Ira ya." explained Amel with teary eyes. Kalia.
" I'm sorry I never heard from you. I was honestly still angry at the time. Especially after I came home from your apartment the other day, tomorrow I just found out that I'm pregnant. My mind's dead-end, Mel. I almost jumped from the cliff." Kalia explained, now her eyes have dropped clear circles.
" Are you going to kill yourself, Li? Oh, my God, Li.why are you so reckless?" Ira clasped Kalia's hand tightly.
" I'm confused, Ra. I don't want to be pregnant with a boy I don't love. I'm embarrassed too.." Kalia's getting fucked.
Amel hugged Kalia's body.
" Patient, dear. Sorry kitaaa.." Amel is sobbing and so is Ira.
" Because of us you're like this. I'm really embarrassed to meet Mama Rani and you really. But I also don't want to lose a good friend like you. You have helped me so much" Ira explained.
Kalia gave me her tears.
" Yes it is. Maybe this is my destiny. I need to be able to do all this. But really not as bad as I thought. My husband's a very nice man, he's very considerate. My parents are very dear to me too. So I'm easier through this now." Kalia explained in a quieter voice."
Ira and Amel cleaned their eyes and noses.
" So you love your husband now, Li?" amel asked with a smile.
" Don't know yet. I can't love people that fast. You know how I am, Mel. I just feel comfortable with him."
Ira pinched Kalia's cheek hard.
" I think you'll love him, I'm going to. Where ever you feel comfortable as fast as this same guy." Ira laughed with anxiety.
Finish crying bombay and laughing together. Amel and Ira finally returned. Actually they want to meet with Surya but can't because Ira has to go to Jakarta. There is still business, he said.
After his two best friends came home, Kalia sat down tired. He felt happy that one burden in his heart had already lifted. Kalia no longer hated her two best friends. But in addition, Kalia also feels guilty for lying to Amel and Ira about Surya's work and background.
