Renjana Song
An Object Without a Mouth But Capable of Speaking

The atmosphere this morning felt so cold and the heat was like piercing into the inner niche. The atmosphere this morning was so quiet and it looked a little grim. The wind was silent, like it was being held back by a deep sorrow. Clad in fog and gray clouds that run slowly. The dew drops falling from the sky were frozen on dry yellowing leaves. So silent. No birdsong or roosters chirping as early in the morning as usual. In fact, there is no visible traffic of humans who every day live the destiny as blowers trumpets of life. There really isn't.

Ranum smiled bitterly as he rose towards the window, hoping for a fresh breeze to sweep through the pores of his face. But again all he found was a silent piece of the morning, with a gray sky, the smell of dry earth, and dry dust perched on the window.

Equally, a second was beating from within his heart. Until it could be heard the soft voices of the soul from within his body.  Somehow it could be so, Ranum himself did not know. Suddenly, he felt a sadness. Like being thrown in a nestapa vortex. Her tears melted slowly like a river at the beginning of the rainy season. And the creature named memories came back. With a woe and wound in his hand, he forced me to look back at the past years that have passed.

''Huh!'' Ranum breathed heavily. Then try to let go of the past and return to the real world.

''El, let's go now, boy!'' ranum said after preparing all the Elzein school supplies and also put his bag in the car.

''Yes, mama.'' replied Elzein immediately hurried over.

On the other side of town, Agam had just arrived at his office. Everyone who passed by him of course swiftly bowed and saluted him.

This morning, I don't know why Agam wanted to go around to just look at the state of his office. By the time he arrived at the door of the pantry on the second floor, he overheard a conversation from some of his employees who were inside. Some of those employees seemed to be busy talking about someone. However, when Ranum's name was mentioned in the conversation, Agam immediately sharpened his hearing.

''Have you seen Whatsdown yet? Crazy, surprised me.'' said someone.

''It means that the rumors that have been circulating all this time?''

''Yes, obviously, there is evidence now, replied Rani, one of Ranum's subordinates.

''Ranum is like that, Rani? I do not believe the same gossip is not clearly rich, said Sapto who joined the pantry because he happened to be in shift two this morning.

''As much as Sapto would believe or not.'' replied a person named Rani.

''Obviously there is already real evidence that Ranum is simple om-om nose striped.'' said one more person in the pantry.

''Hus... Do not carelessly talk about the fear of slander.'' said someone again.

Hearing the conversation immediately Agam became angry and could no longer hold back the anger in him.

''What are you all doing there!'' said Agam suddenly that makes panic everyone in the room.

''Sir Agam!!''

''Good morning, sir.'' greet them with misbehavior and fear because suddenly there is a piece from their superiors.

''Back to work!'' said Agam and soon passed from that place.

''Well, sir.'' they replied in unison after Agam had left.

''You are....''

''May Mr. Agam not hear what we said earlier, deh.''

''Udah. on disperse!! Hunting on work!'' sapto broke up the conversation that morning.

They immediately disbanded and returned to their respective workspaces.

Yeah, that's right. Rumors about Ranum being the mistress of the striped man so quickly spread throughout the company.

''Why would he do something like that! What is my lack compared to that striped-nose guy. Obviously I am very handsome, rich, even many women who are clearly in line and want to be my life companion. But why Ranum even so.'' grumbled Agam.

''I must immediately ask her directly, exactly what does she want!'' pissed Agam.

Then, Agam immediately asked Ranum to meet him in his room right then and there.

As Ranum was walking towards Agam's room, everyone who saw or passed him immediately looked at him with a very strange and intimidating look. They were also whispering about what was behind him.

''On why the hell, people!'' ranum muttered in his heart not understanding.

''Is there something wrong with my appearance? The usual feeling is.'' Ranum watched his appearance from the top of his head to the tip of his foot.

''Bodo is so!'' said Ranum who walked leisurely without caring about the gazes of the people in his office.

As soon as he arrived at Agam's room, Agam immediately asked Ranum.

''Sit!'' agam orders Ranum to sit on a sofa in his room.

''What else is it? If it wasn't important, I would be leaving right now. There is still a lot of work that I have to finish, replied Ranum ketus.

''No one should leave this place without my permission, said Agam, staring deeply into Ranum's bead.

Being stared at like that made Ranum feel so caught off guard.

''Then?'' asked Ranum lazily.

''Tell me who that man is! Are you playing around again behind my back?'' ask Agam frankly.

''What kind of a man?'' Ranum knitted his eyebrows together in a sign of incomprehension.

''Just tell me who that man is!'' said Agam by looking at Ranum deeper and deeper.

''You said what the hell!'' rahum answered completely did not understand the meaning of Agam's talk.

''What a lack of me is that you can do that!'' sahut Agam who has been trying to control his anger so as not to explode and make Ranum more and more away from him.

''What the hell, Gam! I really don't know what you're saying Ranum replied.

From the outside, with a quick step without permission Hardy directly into the room Agam.

''You're not here!'' agam asked tightly to Hardy for interrupting his time with Ranum.

''Excuse me boss, but the bosses have to see this!'' Hardy also showed the photos that have now been scattered and become the material of employee struggle in his office.

''What the fuck!'' agam said as soon as he saw the photo shown by Hardy.
