NOT PERPETRATORS
Moving House

I still cupped both palms to my face. I can't possibly see a Ve secretary in such a state.

"Why are you covering your face like that?" ask Mr. Wibowo.

"I can't see Ve's secretary in such a state, sir."

Suddenly, Mr. Wibowo pulled my hand down. And my eyes are still closed.

"What's wrong with you?" ask Mr. Wibowo again.

"I'm sorry .. has Secretary Ve fixed his clothes?" ask me to the point.

"What?!" Secretary Ve suddenly shouted.

I also ventured to open my eyes. I immediately found the secretary Ve sitting in his chair. And a man in a security—Rangga— uniform massaging the back of a Ve secretary.

"What do you expect, Imania?" ask the secretary Ve.

"Ah, ti-nothing, Brother Ve. I didn't expect anything, he-he."

Mr. Wibowo immediately entered and spoke about the agenda of tomorrow's meeting at the Ve secretary. After that, he immediately walked out of Ve's secretary room.

Mr. Wibowo passed me who was still standing glued to look at the secretary Ve in confusion.

"What's up, Imania. Come here." Come here."

I entered, and sat opposite the secretary Ve. Rangga who was still massaging the back of the secretary Ve, suddenly blinked one eye at me. I smiled wryly at Rangga's behavior.

"Oh .. yeah .. that part is good," raced Ve's secretary again.

"Let your hands down, Baby," Ve's secretary orders Rangga.

Rangga continued to massage Ve's secretary while stealing glances at me. Every now and then, Rangga played his eyebrows to tease me. But I don't care about it.

"Yeah ... keep on loving ... more pressing Baby."

I let out a rough breath. The Ve secretary is there. Did he not think about the alleged employees? He's raving pretty hard. Worth it, we thought of him as doing something.

"What's up, Imania."

"I want to talk to you alone, Brother Ve."

"alright. Darling .. continue your work. And ...." Secretary Ve took something from his bag. Spending some money to give to Rangga. "This is your massage wage."

"Thank you, Honey," said Rangga while receiving the money.

"Kiss first, donk?" The secretary Ve pointed at his own lips.

It made me have to turn my face to the side.

"Emm!" There was a kiss from Rangga's lips.

Then Rangga passed from Ve's secretary room. I shake my head at the behavior of both of them.

After Rangga closed the door. I immediately expressed my intention to move to a new home.

"Sister Ve, I'm moving into Dimas's house."

"Well, that's good. I'm glad to hear that. That means ... will you stay there?"

"Yes, Brother Ve."

"When that?"

"Later in the afternoon" I replied.

"Have you told Dimas?"

"I'm here to ask for your help. Take me to the new house, later in the afternoon, Sister Ve. I mean, help me move to a new house. Because I haven't told Dimas either."

"Why haven't you told her?"

I was silent for a moment. Then he said, "Just .. want to surprise her, Brother Ve."

"Hm... Aren't you fighting?"

"We're fine, Brother Ve."

"Alright, I'll help you get your move done."

"Thank you, Brother Ve."

Once I feel like there is nothing to talk about anymore. I also stood up. "Sister Ve, I'm going back to my study."

"Wait on! Sit down!" his orders.

I sit back. "What's up, Brother Ve?"

For a moment, the secretary Ve fell silent, while playing a ballpoint pen in his right hand. Then he said, "Imania, never doubt Dimas' loyalty to you. And don't doubt his sincerity to you. It's beyond anything he has."

I looked at the disoriented secretary Ve. "Why do you suddenly say that?"

Secretary Ve put the ballpoint pen on the table. Then take the powder from his bag. Then said while re-polishing his face. "Sometimes. Because he couldn't say. That doesn't mean he can't decide. It's just .. something most dangerous is putting him under pressure."

I catch that sentence clearly. This must be about my relationship with Dimas.

"Imania, never doubt Dimas' loyalty to you. Do not doubt the sincerity of his love for you. Dimas is in a difficult position, not a difficult choice. Because if it was just a matter of choice, Dimas would easily make up his mind, which is you."

"Did Dimas talk to you about something?"

"Not much."

If I ask, Ve's secretary always says 'not much', but in fact, she always knows all about my relationship with Dimas.

After re-polishing his face, the secretary Ve put the powder back into the bag. Then he looked at me carefully.

"Imania, you need to be heartened and patient."

"I've been heartened and patient, Brother Ve."

"Yes, I know. Then inevitably you have to be a super patient woman. There is a good time for you to unite and live peacefully in beautiful love. For now, let you soy sauce bitter first. Instead of you tasting sweet, after you taste bile. Aye, right?"

I took a deep breath. "Am I wrong, if just a little bit assertive?"

"No."

"Am I wrong to ask for certainty?"

"No."

"Am I wrong, if .. wanted Dimas to end his engagement to Nessa?"

"Yes." Yeah."

Ve's secretary's answer made me look at her in surprise. "What's my fault?"

Secretary Ve leaned his head against the chair. "I'm dizzy thinking about your relationship. Especially those of you who are undergoing. It must be very complicated and heavy. But believe me, there's always a rainbow after the rain."

"You haven't answered my question, Brother Ve? Is it my fault for asking Dimas to end his engagement to Nessa? After all, Dimas doesn't love Nessa."

"If I tell you, then you'll leave Dimas. I guarantee that."

"Whatchu mean? Please ... Tell me!"

When we are talking seriously. Suddenly the cell phone secretary Ve rang.

"Yes, okay. I'm going there now" said secretary Ve, then hung up.

Due to a sudden affair, our conversation paused. I finally got out of Ve's secretary room. I walked back to my room.

***

Working hours are over. I went home to the secretary Ve. I looked at the secretary Ve who was driving.

"Sir Ve, you haven't answered my question this afternoon."

"I can't say it now."

"Why?"

Sekertaris Ve menghela napas kasar. Namun, tak menjawab pertanyaanku. Kurasa, aku tidak perlu menanyakan lagi. Sekertaris Ve sama saja dengan Dimas. Tidak akan memberiku jawaban.

After a long drive, we finally arrived at my parents' house. From the car, I found Fania who was taking out a suitcase and cardboard from inside the house. He also realized that I was home. A faint smile was clearly on his face.

Me and the secretary Ve went straight down. Father, and mother also welcome my return, which will at the same time take a break to live in a new home. Arka also looked very happy. We also put things in the car.

When everything was ready, we said goodbye to mom and dad. Both my parents were not very sad when I was. After all, we are still one city, not moving to another island or country. So, they can visit me at any time. It's only about 30 minutes from my parents' house. Perhaps, what they will miss the most is Arka.

***

Arriving at the new house, Fania excitedly looked at which room to be used as a place to rest and dream in a deep dream. And Fania chose the upper room.

The room above was three, one for me, one for Fania, and the other was empty. Three rooms downstairs were empty. After putting things down, we sat together on the sofa upstairs.

Secretary Ve is also still here with us. He suddenly opened the conversation. "What if we order food?"

"Agreed!" sahut Fania direct.

"Okay, let me order."

Secretary Ve contacted a restaurant. He also ordered some food.

"Imania, this morning Dimas picked you up, you know?" fania.

"Leave it."

"Cowok handsome so dicuekin. Just make me then!"

"Can't!" said secretary Ve suddenly. "I-I mean Dimas only for Immania. So, you don't dream, Fania."

"Haish! You little wolf!"

"Stop calling me that!"

Fania did not respond to Ve's secretary who looked at her in annoyance. He turned his eyes to Arka.

"Come on, Ark, we're playing!"

Fania takes Arka to the room. While I was still sitting on the sofa with the secretary Ve.

"Sir Ve," called me who was sitting opposite to him.

"Yes, Imania," replied the secretary Ve, laying her body on the sofa.

"Do you like Rangga?" manya curious.

The Ve secretary did not show a surprised look at my question. "Yes, I like it."

"Are you guys dating?"

"As you may think."

"People in the office think you're dating and have a special relationship" I explained.

Secretary Ve laughed at my words. "Just be it."

"So, is that right?"

"Yes, that's right," he answered casually while playing a mobile phone.

"Sir Ve, Rangga already has a wife."

"Yes, I know." Secretary Ve replied without taking his eyes off the phone.

"Rangga's wife is my best friend."

This time Ve's secretary was a little surprised. But only respond with a murmur. "Oh ...."

"Tomorrow I will decide Rangga," he continued while looking at me.

"Are you mad at me?"

Secretary Ve laughed at my question. "I'm only interested in him. Her body is sexy, her face is charming. But I'm not serious about him. Just playing around."

"That means, you've never had intercourse with her?" Good Lord! I bit my own lips. Regretting questions. "Sir Ve, I'm sorry .. I didn't mean—"

"He's just my masseuse in the office. My back often feels sore. He's just my personal masseuse, nothing more, Imania. I'm not interested in men at all. I just like single guys. If I want to do ninu-ninu, I have many men to satisfy my lust."

I remembered the words of Mbah Mar at that time, related to the secretary Ve. (Episode 128)

"You .. You have a pretty good career. However, it is not because of achievement. You're just lucky to be clinging to someone. And you also take advantage of past situations for your own opportunities."

"Not only that. You've had forbidden relationships with a lot of men."

"I can also look further. About your thirst for men!"

Now I am more convinced that the words or prophecies of Mbah Mar are true. (Kok, can you, huh? haha)

Ting-tung!

The sound of the bell rippling my daydream. I rushed down to the door as well. What is go food order secretary Ve? But, really, really fast?

I opened the door and someone standing at the door hugged me tightly.

"Nia, I miss you ...."

My intention to avoid it for a while, failed. How did he know I was here? Did Ve's secretary intentionally tell him?

I pushed his body. And immediately move away from him. But Dimas was after me. He grabbed my arm, and I went back into his arms.

"Let go!" I tried to get away from him.

However, Dimas carried my body cornered to the wall. He looked at me with his eagle.

"Why not return my message?"

"Dimas, release!"

Dimas brought his face closer to me. "I miss you, Nia. You made me not sleep all night. I'm nervous thinking about you."

"Dimas, there's someone else here. Stay away!"

I pushed back his chest. As I was about to run, Dimas grabbed my arm. Holding my body against the wall. Right now, I really want to show her my strict attitude. My hands kept pushing him. Dimas, however, blocked my wrist, nailing it to the wall, next to my head.

"Dimas!"
