Alan didn't drop me off at all even though we were crammed in the elevator. I kept my face down, ashamed of seeing people.
"This is your office?" he said as soon as we got out of the elevator. His eyes seemed to be sweeping around.
"Yes. Now quickly put me down," urged me.
Carefully Alan finally let me down. I let out a sigh of relief. I can finally stand on my own feet. People won't notice me anymore either.
"Your office is very small" said Alan.
I looked at him in wonder. An office this big says small? Are his eyes short-sighted? Ah no, I think his brain is a little troubled.
"This is a branch office, the main building is under renovation so while some employees are being moved here" I said, explaining.
"Oh yeah?" he said it as if he did not believe. "I know this company isn't that big."
"You know what about the company, Al," I sneered. If I told you what we were doing, Alan would be dumbfounded.
"I know it's just a small advertising company" he said in a derisive tone.
"Hey ... Our company has worked with several celebrities, you know," I said, arrogant. It's good that he put this little company together.
"You mean that computer?" tanyakanya.
"Secuter?" confused, confused.
"Yes, computer. Celebrities are less famous and do not perform, just looks and viral capital, what is great? Soon that ad star you're proud of is drowning, too."
Uh, how could he know. Is he investigating this company? Ah, forget it.
"Go, I have to go to work" I said, driving him away.
"Don't I need company to get to your desk?" tanyakanya.
"No need, you just go" I said as I walked away.
"If you need help, my hands and feet are ready to replace you, too" he said. He walked after me.
"I'm just sprained, not paralyzed. You don't need your feet or your hands to replace them. I can still hit and kick you out."
Alan's shoulders shook with laughter. His face looked very happy.
Totally nuts. I threatened to hit and kick him, instead of fearing that he would laugh happily. I stepped back, leaving him.
"Alea .. wait," call Alan. The laughter has stopped.
I stopped the steps right in the doorway. Then turned to look at her who stood a few steps ahead of me. "What else?" my question is, impatient.
"Take this" he said, throwing a cell phone at me.
I caught him with a wave. Then he breathed a sigh of relief when the phone was already in my grasp. Good thing I can catch it well, otherwise this phone is destroyed. Aih, why did he throw it? Why not give it straight, we're so close.
"There's my number in there, call me when you get home from work, I'll pick you up" he said as he passed away.
"OK, be careful the way," I said.
After he left I resumed my steps, entered the office. As soon as I entered, the atmosphere that had been a little noisy immediately turned silent, leaving me astonished. With a smile I greeted my colleagues, one by one. However, their reaction surprised me. Instead of returning my greeting, they even threw their faces away.
What's with everyone, my mind asks. I walked to my desk and sat my body there. I heard someone whispering, saying my name. I looked back, checking who called me earlier. I saw Rena and Saskia chatting. Both of them immediately threw their faces so close to me. I began to feel uneasy as everyone continued to stare at me. What really happened, did I make a mistake? I wanted to ask but everyone I approached just stayed away.
"Hi too, Alea," he said without looking at me.
Even Naira was cold to me. It feels a little painful when people are so close to me.
"Nai, did I make a mistake? Why are you and everyone being so cold to me?" my many.
Naira looked at me. But his expression was not at all as usual. He looks angry. "Do you really not know? Or just pretend not to know like you do," he asked in a snapping tone.
I'm a little surprised. Just this time he spoke to me in a high voice. "What happened, Nai? I really don't know" I said, confused.
"You call me used to pretend I didn't know, when did I act like that?" Yeah, all this time I've never pretended to anything at all in the office.
"Oh yeah?" naira said with a mocking laugh.
"What is this then, Alea?" Naira thrust her phone at me.
I was so shocked when I saw a video of Naira. Where the video is the scene that happened last night, when Alia beat me up.
I kept my mouth shut, not believing what was happening. So is this why people are acting so unusual towards me?
"Thus ... How's Alea? Do you still want to dodge?" naira said in a mocking tone.
"I thought you were a good woman. I've always praised you, flattered you great woman, smart woman who has an ocean-wide heart. Turns out I was wrong, you were nothing more than the scum of society, you cruel woman who snatched the husband from your own little sister, you were so despicable, Alea. I hate you, I'm ashamed to have a friend like you, Alea!" Naira said, angry.
Hearing that long sentence, I felt thousands of knives slamming into my body. It hurts so much, my heart is like being said over and over again. How can a friend who I have considered like a brother himself say such sadistic words to me.
My vision felt blurry along with the appearance of a clear liquid that pooled in the eye fertilizers. I shook my head slowly. "I-I'm not like that, Naira," I said with a bowed face.
Naira laughed cynically. "Not like that?" he said with a mocking tone. "So what are you like, Alea? What other rottenness have I not known?"
I raised my face, looking at him. "I didn't expect you to be this cruel to me, Nai."
"I'm cruel?" naira pointed to herself. Then came back laughing. "Conscious Alea, that cruel one is you, the wicked woman!" he said half screaming. He turned to examine me with his index finger.
"Egglers?" I said the last word Naira said. I looked at him sharply. "Didn't you know the most about my relationship with Kevin?" reminded me. "You and everyone here know that, before my brother married Kevin, I was his partner first, I was his fiancee, I always accompanied him for almost five years, have you all forgotten!" my yelling. Look at each face in the room one by one. My chest rumbled as I said it. Angry, sad and disappointed, those feelings mixed into one. "All of you don't know what I'm going through and what I'm feeling. How can you all be so cruel to me!" shouting, again. Everyone around me is silent. But still looking at me. I could no longer hold back my crying. Tears that have been pooling in the eye pelupuk, finally spilled as well. "I just keep my love, keep what I have, don't you understand!"
"You call me an actor, an abominable woman and the scum of society. Do you think you're not worse than me!"
"You!" I pointed at Rena, a teammate who had been gossiping behind me. "You even became the mistress of rich grandparents, how dare you gossip behind my back, call me shameless and call me an actor. Don't you have glass!" I said fiery.
I turned to look at Naira, my dear brash friend. "You too!" I pointed it at my index finger. "You think I don't know that you're secretly having an affair with him?" I pointed to Ilham, the office partner who already has a wife. The man I pointed at was shocked.
"Although I became an actor like you said but until this moment I can still maintain my chastity. Unlike all of you who willingly peddle your body instead of a legitimate partner," I quipped, angry.
When I was satisfied to say it, I left.
