Our Story: The Sudden Chancellery
54. Fingers

This morning, an hour before office hours began, Gala descended into her office with a beaming face. He also greeted anyone who was in the office so cheerfully carrying a bag of bread in his right hand.

Not many people were there. There was only Daniar and Hendra, while the others had not yet seen the trunk of his nose.

“Again Daniar, Mr. Hendra.”

“Morning,” greeting Hendra who was chatting seriously with Daniar near the cubicle table owned by the woman. Their haste changed their temperament. The face that had been tense, had now turned more relaxed. “Wah... happy once this morning..”.

“Lo why, Gala? What tatters?” ask Daniar while a crybaby impressed forced.

“Mau, Sir, Mbak?” gala said while offering a Bread Bun in bread paper with a delicious coffee flavor. Gala then distributed the food by placing it on the employee's desk one by one in the room. “Special for Mr Hendra, take two!”

“Yee! I'm not?”

“Mbak Daniar can also, but hide one, let Gio and Anton not ask!”

“Why you? Tell you what,” Hendra raised his eyebrows.

“Those signs of falling in love, sir,” chirps Daniar origin.

Gala just grinned with a clumsy gesture, then sat down in her chair and draped her bag in her chair. “Ya. I'm happy again aja.”

“I'm surprised, you're not married yet. Then act like a teenager..”

“Hehehe... I'm out of CLBK, Sir!”

“Ooo pantesan!” said Hendra and Daniar simultaneously.

“Ya. Should have been more dong spirit huh? CLBK same as who if bole tau?” ask Hendra.

“Yes same old dong sir, same time wall? My High School friend, she's divorced from her husband. I just shoot!”

Hendra laughed then shook his head. “So you choose experienced? Hahaha!”

Daniar who was also still single suddenly felt sultry. “I permission ah, want to make coffee!”

“Et... to my room first, Niar...” pinta Hendra who has now walked to his room.

Hearing the orders, Daniar immediately followed Hendra after thanking the bread that the man had given him.

Of course, Gala's eyes can not be separated from Daniar and Hendra who are now involved in serious talks there. Daniar is seen shaking his head, while Hendra sits arrogantly while tapping his index finger on the table.

“I can't anymore, Sir. I'm afraid..”

“I also. But you don't worry, we'll find a solution together.”

I don't know what the two men were talking about. Clearly, when Gala returned from the toilet, she caught Daniar being hugged by Hendra so tightly.

Two weeks Gala's been working here. Everything was going as usual and normal. The only strange thing was a hug between Daniar and Hendra who at that time looked tired. But the rest, the two people behaved naturally like nothing happened.

Daniar looked at Gala confusedly as he watched Gala ignore the phone that had been ringing repeatedly. “Nevent lifted first, Gala?”

“Eng? No ah Ma'am.. Males.”.

“Crazy people, Ma'am. Former psycho!” chirp Gala while talking about Leticia's call.

“Wiii, don't-don't-don't accept because you're made up of other people.”

“Ya that's it.”

Speaking of Leticia. Without Leticia knowing, her return to Australia was not a coincidence. Gala is the man behind it all. Shortly after the frost between Gala and Gemma melted away, the man wastes no time in eliminating any threat that could interfere with their relationship by calling the owner of the agency where Leticia works to return the woman to the Kangaroo Nation. It was enough that Indra was the main threat, Gala had to focus on that person.

As of now, Gala and Gemma are still trying to connect secretly and as quietly as possible. Gemma is not an easy person to break her commitment even though she knows that her husband is more of a jerk than what he did with Gala.

Even Niko did not believe when she told me that Gemma still avoids when she wants to be kissed. So the kiss back then was indeed the only kiss that happened between them.

But Gala can wait. If she needs time, she will wait. If he had been able to get through 15 years so patiently, why couldn't he wait anymore?

At the same time, Daniar intercepts Gala's return when the man is about to return home. The woman did not say much until they reached an exclusive nightclub in South Jakarta.

“Here is where the people trust Mr. Bambang. Lo invited here means you are a truly trusted person,” Daniar said as he grabbed Gala's hand while walking inside.

“Oh this anyway whose name is Gala... admin purchasing us?” said Indra who captured the presence of Gala with Daniar. The woman had taken off her hand and stepped towards Mr. Hendra's chair. “What do you want to drink?”

“I don't drink, sir..” Gala replied with a look of plain pretence.

“Oh come on.. Here do not be afraid. Drink whatever you want,” Indra suddenly came forward and whispered. “Or want a girl? I can order.”

“Oh no, Sir. Thanks though. I already have a girlfriend,” Gala said half-honestly. ‘And he's the wife of your own Father who you've wasted!’ he said in his heart triumphantly.

There was actually no shooting between Gala and Gemma. They just hang out together, holding hands, not too friendly but not too tenuous. Still slow, but Gala still trying that this relationship will be sure after the drama of this company ended.

“Then what do you want?”

“Soda, Sir.”

Indra called the waiter and ordered him a drink without alcohol. Meanwhile Gala was just sitting at the bar watching the people here.

The man could see Bambang Hanggara was in a closed VIP room. I don't know what they're talking about there, but what is clear is that one of them is Happy Valentina, a designer who is well known in the upper middle class community in her 40s.

Indra does not play women, but in this group, it is no secret that Ranita is indeed Indra's mistress. They look so friendly and had time to dance and hug in public.

Gala could not imagine how hurt Gemma was when she caught her husband cheating on her.

Then, a notification came into his phone from Felix.

[Felix: Where the hell is Lo? ]

[May : At the club. Wh why? What's new? ]

[Felix: Guess what? The garment that made your office uniform turned out to have a famous designer Happy Valentina. Her real name is Happy Valentina Hanggara, a cousin of Bambang Hanggara. ]

[Me: Nepotism is always art, right, Lix?
