Neighbor's Blanket
Chapter 32

Silence enveloped the room for a few minutes. I cannot deny what Mas Agam said.

I don't know where she knows I have different feelings every time we're together.

Though as much as possible I cover it by acting ordinary in front of Mas Agam. I also tried to shake off that feeling because I realized it was a mistake.

“Then what about Mas Agam.?” Not knowing where to get courage from, instead of looking for answers to deny Mas Agam's words, I asked about his feelings for me.

"Usually women are more sensitive about feelings." His words then carved a thin smile.

"I think you already know the answer without needing me to answer." Mas Agam's gaze turned shady and deep. I can interpret that gaze, because it often gets it from Mas Dirga.

It seems like me and Mas Agam do have the same feeling. The togetherness and interaction between the two of us had fostered a sense in each other's hearts. Moreover, whether I or Mas Agam, we are both feeling disappointed by the couple.

"But our feelings are clearly wrong." I looked down and bit my lower lip. All feelings instantly flail. Fear, anxiety, nervousness and shame mixed into one. Because this time the conversation has taken care of the heart.

If I and Mas Agam were still alone, I might not feel anxious and afraid when we talk about feelings.

"I know, Bia." Smirked. Mas Agam slowly touched my hand and held it on my lap.

"Don't be forced if you can't stand pain and disappointment anymore. Let go of Dirga, I'm ready to be his replacement." Mas Agam was so serious about looking at me.

Now I understand why Mas Agam is always looking for ways to be alone with me. Even today Mas Agam made me his personal secretary.

He approached me not to avenge his hurt and disappointment towards Ms. Karina but rather to follow his feelings towards me.

Unlike me who has the mind to avenge Mas Dirga's betrayal with a betrayal again.

“I did think to release Mas Dirga, but have not thought to find a replacement."

"I'm just disappointed and want to reply in the same way." I said as I slowly pulled my hand from the grasp of Mas Agam.

Hearts and minds cannot keep pace. It felt unable to commit treason despite wanting to inflict the same pain on Mas Dirga.

"Why pay it back.?"

"Do you expect Dirga to be hurt after you get back at her with an affair, too.?" He asked with a smile that mocked me.

"Yes, if Dirga is hurt. But what if Dirga instead laughs happily because of betrayal you can be made an excuse by him to divorce and so that he can unite with his affair."

The logical explanation of Mas Agam instantly made me realize how stupid I was not to think that far.

Even Mas Agam who did not avenge the affair of Sister Karina, can be left alone and openly choose her affair in appeal to her own husband who has been loyal to her.

Now I'm getting confused about how to deal with the affair committed by Mas Dirga.

If you ask directly and show the evidence that I have, not necessarily Mas Dirga will admit it. He was too good at finding a thousand reasons. One reason to lie to me all this time.

...****...

3 Hours ago our chat ended after someone knocked on the door of the room. At that moment I immediately moved to sit on the sofa opposite. And not long after a middle-aged man entered the room. The man who turned out to be named Airlangga, Mas Agam's parents.

It turns out that the charm and charisma owned by Mas Agam is a derivative of the Papa.

Because at the age of Mr. Airlangga who has been above 50 years, he still has a charm and charisma that is quite strong.

But Mr. Airlangga is more authoritative when talking, he is also a very serious person.

In contrast to Mas Agam who was a little disgusting when at home, although he also seemed authoritative when talking to his Papa.

my focus instantly broke as my phone shook.

The phone that I put on my desk, deliberately only made vibrate so as not to be too annoying if someone calls or sends a chat.

I reflexively turned to Mas Agam after seeing Mas Agam's name on my phone screen.

But when he turned his head, the man seemed to be staring at the laptop in front of him.

"30 minutes to lunch."

"What do you want to eat.? Let me order all of them."

After reading the message from Mas Agam, I turned my head back. But the position of Mas Agam still remains the same as before.

"False Mas. Later Bia wants to eat in the cafeteria."

I sent a message from Mas Agam while staring at him. This time Mas Agam grabbed a cell phone, I knew he was reading a reply to a chat I sent him.

"Eat here, Bia. Follow me to eat.!"

I just read a reply from Mas Agam. He put an exclamation mark at the end of the sentence. If it's like that, I definitely can't refuse it.

...****...

Food is on the table. Mas Agam apparently ordered food from one of the nearby restaurants. Mas Agam seemed to relax and enjoy his first meal. While I feel very awkward and restless.

"From morning we didn't leave this room. What if other employees think the same way we do.?" I ventured to say something that made me nervous since then.

That's why I refused Mas Agam's offer and intended to go eat alone to the cafeteria. So that people don't think to me. Moreover, I am very sure that all the employees here know that I can be a secretary without any process. That alone must have aroused suspicion in their minds.

"Care what the same thoughts of others. They wouldn't dare to talk about me anyway." Mas Agam replied indifferently. Of course he can talk like that because he's the head of this company. So of course they will not dare to talk about bad things about Mas Agam. There are, I will definitely be their talk.

"It was my turn who was the subject of their conversation."Pasrah. Because I used to experience something like this, and that day I was immediately used as gossip material in the office.

"Not to worry," Mas Agam rattled my head.

"Where dare they talk about you, they still need a job here." He then said a smile.
