The failed surprise

"why just stand there? I've cooked breakfast for you, let's have breakfast together!" Bring Alya.

Marcel nodded, there was not much they were talking about at breakfast, especially Marcel who was starting to get busy with his phone, no matter who he sent messages to this morning.

"Is your wife and son looking for you? I'm sorry if I've caused trouble for you and your family, "sorry Alya who thought that Marcel was texting Sita.

There is a sense of jealousy that pinches Alya's heart in between regret and awkwardness now.

"no, I said goodbye, and they'd understand." Marcel replied with a view that was still fixed towards the screen of the phone in his grasp.

"It seems I have to go home soon, to get ready for the office, today I have a schedule out of town for two days." Marcel said as if in haste.

"out of town?" Alya's great-grandson was shrill, like not willing if he had to part with Marcel who had even accompanied him overnight.

"Hmmm, Darma will help you with your work, you can ask him if there's any trouble, or--you can also contact me if you think you need my help, too," marcel said as he passed away.

"Alright, be careful on the road, and thank you for your help last night" Alya said.

"Every night?" Beo Marcel spontaneously stopped his steps and turned his head back towards Alya, Alya's words really sounded ambiguous in Marcel's ears.

"Help for being your bolster and warming you up all night?" Tempted Marcel, it seems like the man's heart is very good so it is still morning to invite Alya joking, but the joke Marcel made Alya's face hot because he felt embarrassed.

"Haissss, help clean up the leak!" Timpal Alya quickly, while correcting Marcel's perverted thoughts in deciphering his words.

"Hahaha,," Marcel just laughed crisply and was satisfied that he had made Alya blush from embarrassment, then completely left Alya alone with his sense of regret.

**

It's day two Marcel's not in the office, though, making Alya sometimes feel bored as a result of starting to feel the seeds of longing that began to bloom in his heart as the time of their recent togetherness is increasingly intense.

"Just want to go home, ma'am?" Tanya Darma in a stale greeting Alya who is now standing in front of the lobby of the Salim group office, coincidentally today Rudy promised to pick her up, which is now in front of the lobby of the Salim group office, so that he waited for the arrival of a man who until now had not received a definite answer to what status was established between them, Alya like still at home hanging Rudy's feelings for him, and so on, moreover, now the figure of Marcel who tried to forget him is again present in his daily life, so it feels increasingly difficult for him to forget and go from his memories with Marcel.

"Ah yes Mr. Darma, happened to finish a little work first. Oh yes, the documents for project cooperation have been completed, when can I be signed by Mr. Marcel, yes?" Alya asked, pretending to be in the name of the actual document did not have to be hastily signed by Marcel in order to find out when Marcel would return from out of town.

"Hmmm, it seems that in the morning Mr. Marcel is going to work, because this afternoon he has flown home." Urai Darma's.

"Oh, so yeah. Mr. Marcel's job is very busy, is he reviewing projects out of town?" Suddenly, Alya's soul thrashed and could not control because he was very curious to know where Marcel was going, and why he was going.

"Oh, no. This is not a matter of work, once a month Mr. Marcel did take the time to meet mbak Sita and Daniel, it's just, this has not been a month, he has returned to visit them, he has returned to visit them, maybe Mr. Marcel kang--" Darma suddenly stopped his sentence, he continued to tell stories until he forgot that between Alya and Marcel had a special relationship, he then covered his mouth with one hand because he felt saluted; he spoke.

"Mhhh, they don't live here?" Alya asked again trying to be ordinary even though the change in the look of his face was so clearly visible, there was a look of annoyance, disappointment, sadness and hurt to hear the information Darma gave about Marcel, he said, guni actually himself does not have to have such a feeling because between the two of them are no longer bound by any relationship since they agreed to both stay away from each other even without a word spoken in between them, as for the nearness this time maybe Alya should re-set his heart settings to continue to remember and realize if their current closeness is only limited to work, nothing more.

But still the jealousy and a little hurt was felt by Alya at this time, especially when remembering how the hue of Marcel's face was so radiant when he sent a message that morning before he went out of town which turned out to meet Sita and her son.

"Is that happy for you?" Alya muttered, that only he could hear that remark.

"Alya!" Call Rudy who has come there to fulfill his promise to pick up Alya. Rudy's work has been solid lately, especially after he got cooperation with Salim group, especially after he, many other companies that used to just underestimate their small companies are now flocking to ask for cooperation with their companies.

"Hay Rud," Alya waved his hand and welcomed Rudy's arrival with his sweetest smile.

"Have you waited a long time?" Rudy asked who was immediately answered with a headband by Alya.

After saying goodbye to Darma, the two of them got into the car and left the lobby of the Salim group.

"Darma, where are you going?!" A firm and loud voice stopped Darma's steps who was about to head to the parking lot in front of the lobby to go home.

"Sir Marcel?" Nervous Darma who did not expect if his boss suddenly appeared from behind the door of the lobby that had been closed because all employees had gone home that afternoon, especially that Friday where employees will go home sooner.

Likewise with Marcel who had gone home earlier because he deliberately wanted to go straight to the office and meet with Alya, whereas Sita asked him to stay until the weekend ended, but Marcel insisted to stay home, but Marcel insisted to stay home, his heart and mind just kept on going to Alya so it felt like he was agitated and erratic to be there.

Unfortunately not because he was late to come to the office he could not meet Alya, but because when he waited for Alya in the lobby room, to give him a surprise, he was unable to meet Alya, instead, he was curious when Alya asked about himself to Darma, he was curious about what Alya and Darma were talking about, especially when they mentioned his name, Marcel hid behind the door while listening to their conversation, almost Marcel threw the flower bucket he was carrying and prepared for Alya to Darma's face because his assistant was carelessly speaking, in addition to alluding about Sita everything that should not Darma talk to Alya, because it could have triggered misunderstandings between them.

But the rice had become porridge, Darma had already said that, "Maybe it's time I'm honest," Marcel's inner response to all that, but how many minutes later, lapse, when Marcel had intended to approach Alya and get out from behind the lobby door, Rudy actually came to pick up Alya, and, even Alya's sweet smile while welcoming Rudy's arrival became a bitter treat for her who again failed in her attempt to repair the relationship with Alya.

"Did you just come?" Asked Darma again, his feelings had started to feel bad.

"No, I've been here a long time, and heard all your pretentious obroalns with Alya!" Snap Marcel.

"Sorry, I don't mean to say that, after all I'm just telling you the truth if you go to see Sita and Daniel." Darma tried to survive with his stance that felt if there was nothing wrong in his words to Alya earlier.

"Next time you better pretend you don't know!" Annoyed Marcel.

"Regarding the task I gave you two days ago, you did it right? Is everything all right?" Ask Marcel again.

"Everything is done, and neatly returned, but that--" reported Darma whose speech had to stop as Marcel cut him off.

"Don't ask much, you just have to do the job I gave you well, because you've done the job I gave you well, nih, I gave you flowers!" Sambar Marcel hinted for his assistant not to ask further, Marcel also gave a flower bucket that was to be given to Alya, now in the arms of Darma who was confused, and now in the arms of Darma, a few minutes ago his boss looked angry at him, but after a few minutes his face returned cheerful when he got a report if he had done the task he gave, even Marcel gave her a bouquet of flowers just for the insignificant job she was assigned to her,.
