My Office Boy's
54. The Law of Cause and Effect

At exactly 12 noon, Surya immediately stepped foot into the room of Mr. Haris. I think he can't wait to see who's been spreading his picture and Kalia's.

Mr. Haris immediately let him in. Surya's face was so tense. He's tightening his jaw. His chest rumbled furiously. But it turns out that there was only Mr. Haris in the room. No one else has come.

" Wait a minute, Surya. I call the person first." said Mr. Haris then use the office phone to protect someone.

Almost 10 minutes, Surya was waiting for the man. Ten minutes of his life.

I heard someone knocking on Mr. Haris' door.

" In.." orders Mr. Haris. Suddenly someone entered the room. Surya recognizes the person, yes.he is one of Kalia's staff. He is Sri.

Surya recognized Sri, because he had several times bought lunch orders for her. But Surya is still inexhaustible, what is the reason why Sri did it all.

Sri's face looks pale. When Surya looked at him sharply, he was just trying to avoid Surya's sight. It seems that he feels very guilty.

Mr. Haris invited Sri to sit in front of Surya. Then Mr. Haris also sat on the sofa, a little closer to Surya. Makes Sri like besieged in the sickle chair.

" Sri, do you know Surya?" ask Mr. Haris in the quietest voice possible.

Sri was only able to nod with her head still down.

" Thus, Sri. Just go straight yeah. I want to discuss about the email that has now been spread to all staff, an email that contains photos about the proximity of Surya and Ibu Kalia. Is it really Sri who has spread it?" ask Mr. Haris again. The tone is still calm. In contrast to Surya, he was already eager to scout Sri with his absorbent vows. But as hard as he could hold.

Sri Lama thought. In the end he nodded as well. Surya is rising. His fingers clenched tightly with furious teeth. But Mr. Haris patted Surya's thigh, asking him to calm down. Because the gaze of Surya's eyes is like going to pounce on Sri roundly. But Surya could no longer hold back.

" What's the reason you act like that? What's my fault or Kalia's with mom?" surya asked with a high tone. Mr. Haris immediately calmed him down.

Sri's eyes are puffy, she cries but then looks at Surya and Pak Haris alternately.

" Because Miss Kalia has humiliated me in front of everyone. Just because I hadn't finished working on my work report yet, he immediately scolded me in front of all the QA staff. Should be as a superior, he can also appreciate me as his subordinate, because I also have self-esteem." explained Sri with tears that have been shed.

" If I'm wrong, I don't mind being rebuked. Please reprimand me in his room. No need to scream in front of everyone while slamming my report on the table. I'm also heartbroken, sir. I'm shy. Maybe I still lack a lot, can not be as perfectionist as Ms. Kalia. But the way of reprimanding Ms. Kalia really made me feel offended." continued Sri again. Tears still flooded his cheeks.

" Yes but I shouldn't mix up personal and work issues. Why did it occur to me to humiliate Ms. Kalia? Kalia is my legal wife in the eyes of law and religion. We got married because we loved each other." explained Surya with a sharp eye. Sri is shrinking in place. His tears are getting out.

" Mom saw for yourself, didn't you? now my wife and I have to lose our son. My wife had a deep psychic trauma from a fall plus the death of our baby from an accident a week ago. If you feel bad by reprimanding Kalia against Mother, please talk about it in the realm of work. But there's no need to do anything stupid by following us to lunch and then spreading the photo to everyone." Surya still continued to search Sri while pointing at her.

" If I mean Ms. Sri is to humiliate Kalia in front of everyone for having a relationship with an OB like me, yes. The mother's bonus has also contributed to killing the baby in the womb Kalia. My son..!! And I want to continue this to the path of the law..!!" The sun's getting inflamed. Hearing this, Sri panicked.

" Sri, don't be so. stand up.." pinta Pak Haris increasingly unpleasant because the atmosphere is getting heated.

" No, Sir. I want to apologize to Surya. I beg you not to report me to the police, A Surya. I still have small children. What will happen to them if I get to jail. I apologize, I apologize profusely, A Surya, I did not know that my behavior would be fatal like this.." Sri's face looks more sad. He kept cupping his hands in front of his chest for forgiveness.

Surya stomped his forehead which felt a painful throbbing. He was more upset with Sri but saw it as sad as that, making Surya not to the heart.

" Mom means you've been pregnant, right? you should know that pregnant women are very sensitive. But why did you do it? do you have to interfere with other people's personal problems? is Kalia getting married to my lowly OB kayak bad for mom?" Surya's voice began to tremble withstanding the cries. Then it cleared its throat slightly to hide its sadness and make its voice normal again.

" We never hurt anyone. If we keep our marriage a secret, it's our absolute will and our right. Other people do not need to interfere, especially until it is used as cheap gossip. Because the actions and words of the mother that I thought of as a joke, have finally ruined someone's life." Now Surya who can't hold back his tears. Gliding smoothly when he said it to Sri who sat miserably on the floor of the room Pak Haris.

" Don't get down on your knees, Mom. I am not a God to be worshipped. I don't want to..!! Please stand up." continued Surya again while rubbing his face violently to shed his tears.

Silent language, only the sound of sobs Sri who sounded so bitter in the room.

" Sir, I will not take this matter to the legal track. Please give me justice. I leave all sanctions for Ms. Sri to the company. Thank you for helping me solve my problem. There is nothing I will say anymore, I'm sorry sir." said Surya then scoured away from the room with his eyes moist from crying. His chest still feels tight.

Surya then went to mushola and performed the dzuhur prayer. His heart slowly calmed down as ablution water seeped into his skin. He remembers his father saying that when one can be patient when he has the right to be angry, the reward for him is heaven.

For him, maybe heaven is too high, but at least with this incident Surya can be more fair.

Surya also realizes that everything that happened to him and Kalia is the law of cause and effect. If only he and Kalia had not hidden everything, this would not have happened to him. Moreover, Surya also felt regretful why Kalia's request to tell him to resign was completely ignored. If only from the beginning he followed his wife's will, Sri would not look for a gap to humiliate Kalia because Surya was no longer working as an OB.

Regret is always at the end of the story. Now Surya has resolved to resign from the place. He wanted to make Kalia proud of his efforts. He wants to make his business more successful from now on until Kalia is no longer ashamed to be by his side.

Sometimes this boneless tongue can turn into a very sharp sword. Speech that we consider joking, can hurt the heart and even destroy the lives of others. There will all be accountability. So hopefully we can all keep our oral yes reader. Say something that is fine, or better be quiet.

This is special advice for myself that sometimes still likes to joke outrageously.

Thanks for the support. Othor became more passionate...😊

Stay healthy yes all...😘😘
