My Office Boy's
05. Friendship that Cracks

The clock shows at 5 a.m. Kalia's room door was knocked slowly, mama told her to pray at dawn.

Kalia opened her eyes but was still reluctant to move. He's still rolling in the blanket.

Today is Sunday, she is off work but she remembers that today is her best friend's wedding. A friend he hates.

Almost 15 minutes, Kalia still did not want to get up from her warm and comfortable bed. But the sound of knocking on the door of the room was again heard, this time louder than the first.

" Yes ma..Kalia woke up." said Kalia so her mom stopped her from knocking on the door.

With lightning fast, Kalia performed the shabuh prayer. Sort of chased. A moment later wrestled again with his blanket.

Suddenly his phone rang. He grabbed the phone from the nightstand beside his bed. Call from Ira. Kalia ignored.

Once.twice.three times. Still don't want to answer. Kalia turned off her phone and went back to sleep. As hard as Ira forced her, she still won't go to Amel's wedding.

At 8am, Kalia was about to leave her room. He headed to the dining table still with the face of the pillow and the original pigtailed hair.

Just as Kalia was sitting herself in the dining room chair, Rani's mama was moved towards her.

" Lia, Mama got this phone from Ira. You are the one who speaks."

" No, I'm not sick anymore. I'm not coming to Amel's wedding."

" Well, Amel is your friend."

" Say I'm sick, mah. Please.." pinta Kalia weld. Her mother sighed and then relayed her son's message to Ira.

" What the hell are you, baby? Mama noticed already this week you are like a mess. More thoughts?"

" A lot more work, Ma." answered Kalia briefly as she grabbed a loaf of bread and smeared it with chocolate jam.

" But really did not want to come to the wedding of Amel everything, he was his friend Lia from college. That's a hell of a deal too."

" I don't want to go ah. Jakarta is far away, Lia is tired. Just want to rest. Tomorrow Monday should work again, Lia's body is also sick all this Ma." explained Lia at length while biting the tip of her bread a little.

" Are you?"

Kalia nodded weakly without looking at her mama. She knew very well, if her mom could tell that she was lying just from a glance. Understandably, Kalia was only raised by her mama. He has been orphaned since the age of 11. His father died of diabetes mellitus. Since then, my mother has been the backbone of the family. She raised Kalia alone without thinking of remarrying. So it is only natural that he is very aware of the nature of his only child.

Finished breakfast, Kalia helps her mama clean the house. In the office, Kalia is a young manager. But at home, Kalia will turn into a submissive child who always helps her mother in taking care of the house.

" You're a little messy, Li.." said his mother as they were busy cleaning the yard.

" Are you Ma? Not ah.mama's feelings are that."

" You are so often forget breakfast this week, go home from work also immediately bergurung yourself in the room. Mama tea worried tau."

Kalia embraced her mother's soft shoulder.

" Likes baper mamah mah. Lia's okay. Again a lot of work in the office, several times Lia got reprimanded by superiors because of work that did not match the target. That's why keep thinking. Don't worry be happy or Raniiii's mother.." seduce Kalia while looking at her mama's cheeks.

" Ber yes.if there is anything you have to tell the same story mom. You see if Lia like tea, Mama likes to be sad to see it. The beautiful mama's son is moody..Uuuh..got heart to taste." said his mother with teary eyes.

" Kalia.." call someone. Ira suddenly comes to the office where Kalia works. He deliberately waited for Kalia to get home from work and meet her when Kalia was about to enter the car to go home. It seems like he's fed up of being avoided by Kalia who doesn't give any explanation.

" What are you doing here?" ask Kalia in shock.

" I'm asking for an explanation from you. Almost two weeks of this you've been shying away from me and Amel. To the wedding of Amel aja you could not come. Every time on the phone it's always rejected. What's our fault?" Flocked Ira.

" Come with me. I need to talk about this until it's all right. I can't stand your behavior." Ira pulls Kalia's hand to get into her car.

" Where the hell are you going?"

" Don't ask too many questions, just go with it. You owe me and Amel the same explanation."

Kalia is forced to get into Ira's car for fear of attracting the attention of people who are starting to disperse to get home from work.

Ira drove her car to an apartment in the Cimahi area. Amel was waiting for them there. Amel now lives in the apartment with her husband. It just so happens that her husband is working out of town so she takes the initiative to kidnap Kalia in order to solve their problems.

Amel and Ira sat across the table in a minimalist living room dominated by pastel colors. Overlooking Kalia who looked like a sick person on the trial table.

" It's obviously the same with us, in detail. Did anything happen after you got home from Amel's party a few weeks ago!?".

Kalia fell silent, lazy to hear Ira's words. He turned his face away.

" Seriously, Li. What was? I'm so confused, you didn't even come to my wedding. Be honest Li.." persuade Amel in a soft voice as possible.

Silent language.

" There's nothing I should be clear about. I don't want to come, I'm busy, I have to work." replied Kalia in a sharp tone.

" My show was Sunday, Kalia.. Did you work Sunday?".

" Yes.gue work. Wh why? It is no sin to work on Sunday." replied Kalia in a slightly raised voice.

" No.lu lied. I'm sure you must be lying." said Ira while shaking Kalia's hand.

" It can't be that you're avoiding us." Ira clasped Kalia's hand.

Roughly, Kalia pulled her hand from Ira's grasp.

" Don't be so good to you. If it wasn't for you, nothing would have happened. My life must be fine. I won't be ruined now. Okay, don't call me anymore. I want to go home." Kalia quickly stood up from her seat. But Amel and Ira's hands held him. Kalia could no longer hold back her tears. Heart hurts.

" Please.gue hates you guys.huuuaaa.." Kalia's getting fucked.

" You guys forced me to drink that damn wine. And you really want to know what happened after that, huh?" kalia's shoulders were shivering. The shadow of the night filled his head.

" I foolishly gave my virginity that meant the most to me to a man who was not even clear who and I did not know at all. I became a disgusting human being. I am so*******, cheap women..!! And it's all because of the wine you're forcing me to drink."

Kalia is hysterical. His body shook violently. Amel and Ira immediately embraced Kalia firmly. They feel guilty. I never thought all of this would happen to my friend.
