Tarnished Before Accident
Chapters 18. Fired

At about eight o'clock in the evening after performing Salat Isya worship at the mosque where we had the wedding, Kak Rey and I finally returned home in one car. We sat in the passenger cabin in a silent condition without trying to melt the atmosphere.

My position was away from Kak Rey who also preferred to stare at the cellphone screen with one hand touching her chin, as if now the man's mind was preoccupied with what was in the lighted thin screen.

I don't know what to do? This is my relationship with Rey. We have no relationship. The man returned to his original self: cold and flat.

Let me look outside, see the tall buildings towering, try to busy the thoughts and feelings so that the foolish attitude of Kak Rey who is indifferent to me.

I honestly feel uncomfortable in a situation like this. However, I tried to stay calm and not respond too much to what was happening in plain sight.

Silent accompany during the trip until the car we were riding entered the hotel area and stopped right in front of the lobby. The driver opened the door beside me respectfully, but it confused me.

It's supposed to be Rey's door that opens first, right?

I looked towards Rey. The man was still trembling by staring at the screen of his phone. My forehead is wrinkled not understanding.

What's the matter?

Yes, I am a nobody, but .. Please, appreciate me you just married!

"Sir Rey!" Though it was hard for this lip to say, but I tried to call him. My status is his wife.

And then the man turned his attention from his phone towards me. However, what he said afterwards made my heart hurt.

"Come in! You have to rest a lot. Call me if you need anything. I'm sorry, I can't take you upstairs. Rena's looking for me." He said straightforwardly without the slightest bit of covering it up from me.

"Oh, ...." That's all that finally came out of my lips.

I went down immediately, no longer asking anything. Isn't that the deal between the two of us? No physical contact or anything else. It's just a confession from Rey's sister that I'm his wife. I don't know, is that status still important? In fact, that status is still a secret.

Without looking back at him, I entered the lobby area. No bidding or kissing the back of the hand. Our relationship is only a deal.

In accordance with what Rey said, for four days I was in the hotel, doing nothing. When it comes to food and snacks, here is the champion. The waiter always gave me a different menu every day, and it certainly had a delicious taste. In fact, even snacks are not random snacks. More to fruits and cakes that smell fragrant and very soft pamper the tongue.

It seems like the choice not to go anywhere is not a difficult one. I can live it with joy. But, since we last split up in front of the hotel lobby, Rey never again visited me or asked me about it.

It was as if he disappeared from my life.

I try not to care. This is better. At least I can protect my heart from getting too hurt when we part ways someday. However, when she always helped me, coming when I was in need of help, my heart softened for her. I had forgotten that the man who was always present in my difficult times was Kak Rena's husband. But, soon I get rid of the comfortable feeling that had perched in my heart so as not to stay there too long.

***

The first day I went to work. I've designed a lot of scenarios to answer all my boss's questions. How is it also very difficult to get a leave of absence, let alone a made-up and unreasonable reason like what Kak Rey has said.

My matic motorbike was returned a few days ago by Kak Rey's man. I drove it while supplying patient stock, trying to keep a cheerful smile for a consolation of myself. Indeed the distance of the hotel where I stayed with the hotel where I worked was not too far away. It only took me no more than thirty minutes at my normal speed to get to my destination.

After parking my bike in the employee parking lot, as usual I get ready with my work uniform before the briefing starts by the manager. I exhaled my breath after breathing it deeply. Stop dreaming and come back to reality.

I went to the manager after the briefing was over, intending to explain my absence for the past four days. However, the moment I came to meet the cross-whisked man, there was something that made me feel a little strange. The man I'm guessing is four-headed doesn't mind my reasons at all. In fact, he asked me if I still wanted to take a vacation or not? It's beyond a doubt.

I don't know what Rey said to him when asking permission for me so the manager was reluctant to ask me directly.

I started doing my job as usual. Clean every floor to make it look shiny. Maybe because my nutritional intake lately is very good, I do not experience dizziness and nausea that sometimes interfere.

"Sir, can you help me for a minute?" One of the female guests holding a boy called out to me. Immediately I nodded and approached him.

Once again I nodded while smiling. This is my job. No matter how many times I clean the floor, if there is still dirt, of course I will repeat cleaning it.

I let the young mother go after saying that the floor would be cleaned soon.

I've installed the warning board at a safe distance, as a marker so that no one across my area works. The kuseret mop trolley was a bit pulled over to make it easier for me to continue the work. However, who would have thought that a beautiful woman wearing office clothes suddenly walked past me.

"Miss, lookout!" Suddenly I was surprised when the woman suddenly slipped because of a little puddle of water on the unfinished floor I cleaned. In shock I helped the woman not to fall, holding her body by using both hands. Unfortunately, my implicit attitude made him angry.

My hands are dirty. He looked at me with a glare after straightening up. I took two steps back, looking down because I knew that the female guest would scold me.

"You, yeah, can't work?!" He rebuked with a waist-tight. Ayu's and graceful face seemed to disappear already from my sight.

"Sorry, Miss. The floor is being cleaned." As an employee, of course, I have to be polite even though it is clear that he is wrong.

"you mean? Am I wrong?!" He showed me my face. "I had a meeting this morning. But what have you done. My clothes are dirty and they smell disgusting. Just like you!"

His hand pushed me strong. I couldn't keep my balance because I wasn't ready. My body staggered backwards, falling to the floor. Luckily my hands were sprightly, holding the weight of this weight so as not to really fall. I still remember the fetus I was carrying. This baby is still very weak. I could have miscarried if I was less careful.

I thought he was content to vent his anger on me. But it turns out I was wrong. I haven't been able to stand up from my fallen position. He pulled a bucket of dirty water that was in the cleaning tool trolley. And with no feeling he threw dirty water from the mop into my head.

My eyes closed, then gasped. My hair and clothes were soaked with the smell of floor scents. Not enough to get there. The woman put the bucket in my head.

My eyes dewdrop. I don't know why during pregnancy, I cried so easily. Why will people who have a position always behave arbitrarily?

"Hey, what are you doing!"

I heard someone screaming at me. His shoes moved closer. My hand that was about to release the bucket in my head was held by someone, replacing me to remove the dirty thing from my head.

And then I knew who was screaming. My lips are so confused, can not speak because it was so shocked by the treatment of the beautiful woman. I saw the face of the man crouched beside me so wrathful, staring at my miserable condition. Honestly, I'm ashamed. I can't even return the look of his eyeballs.

He moved from his bent position, standing upright while turning his sharp gaze towards the woman dressed in the office.

"You ... secretary to Mr. Gunawan of SAI Group?" He asked, but his aura was more of a threat.

"Rpa ... Reynan?" The beautiful woman suddenly said the name of the man beside me who was none other than Rey. His lips seemed trembling at the figure that was now inviting him to speak.

"Tell your boss. Our agreement ... is void" said Brother Rey sharply indisputably to the beautiful woman standing before me.

"But, Mr. Reynan. We haven't presented it yet. You can't just decide without looking first."

"Enough!" Brother Rey snapped. Instantly the beautiful woman was shocked. "I can imprison you for daring to do this to him."

Rey bowed, then whispered in my ear. "Come, we're home!"

At that moment I felt Brother Rey's hand slip between the folds of my feet, lifting my body which was soaked and very dirty, carrying me in her cradle.

I'm still silent, don't know what to do. Rey took me away in such a position, leaving behind the cleaning equipment and the beautiful woman who had insulted me.

"Sir Rey, put me down!"

"Shut up!" He even snapped at me. "You're also fired, too" he said firmly, staring ahead as he continued walking.
