THE CHOICE IN MY LIFE
SECTION 59
“Crazy! If this continues, I may die from work fatigue. Mr. Rio has no mercy.”
“Betul, right. Y'all know? The work that even the deadline is still next week, Mr. Rio asked to finish it today as well. Though all the data has not been collected.” Rio team story to other team.
“Luckily I'm under Bu Tia.”
“Me too, fortunately under the leadership of Mr. Erwin.”
“I miss Miss Cindy. Hiks . .”
“Have finished complaining? Lunch time will be over in 5 minutes, you don't want to go back to your room soon?” sergeant Rio suddenly. They were all in a fog and finished eating a drink in a hurry.
Other employees who do not work in a division with Rio feel grateful, even though they get a salary that is not too large, but they can work comfortably.
“How is it true if the two of them are fighting?” toni asked some of her devotional friends while they were still sitting on the canteen.
“Who?” ask Gilang.
“Pak Rio and Bu Tia, Lang.”
“Bulkah?”
“This is your chance if you want to get Bu Tia's heart back. Moreover, Dera has finished his internship in this office, nothing else will hinder you.”
“I'm ashamed if I have to approach him again.”
“Do it, Lang. If you are still in love, then fight. Moreover, next month you will get a promotion to the post, your position with Bu Tia will not be too far away again.”
“Are you sure if my name is on that promotion list?”
“I'm sure once.”
“Alright, I'll fix my mistakes in the past.”
“Spirit, friend.” Toni gives encouragement to Gilang.

Tok . .. tok . . tok . . . . someone knocked on the door of Tia's room.
“Log.” Tia invited her guests without seeing who was coming.
“Drink this, the weather today is quite cold, you can warm it with this.” Someone put a warm ginger tea on Tia's desk.
“Call? why are you here? If you want to see Mr. Erwin, the room is next door.”
“I don't want to go to Mr. Erwin's room. Like I said earlier, I gave you a warm ginger tea, because it's pretty cold today.”
“Thanks, Gilang. But, sorry, I don't need it. Especially that from you. I don't want others to misunderstand, so .. .”
“I only deliver this drink, drink it. I'll go.” Gilang said goodbye and left Tia's room.
Unbeknownst to Tia, there were already two pairs of eyes watching her silently. Although Rio never started first to interact with Tia, but the handsome man secretly continued to pay attention to her, look after her, and follow Tia to the neighborhood of Tia's house. Rio still wanted to take care of Tia even though secretly.
“You brought Tia?” invite Gilang when you know if Tia is waiting for the bus at the bus stop in front of the office.
“No, thanks.”
“Come with me. I'll deliver you safely.” Gilang kept trying to persuade Tia.
“Call me, I beg you, please keep your distance from me. I feel uncomfortable being near you.”
“I know if I have been guilty of you a lot in the past, but I want to make amends.”
“No need, Crossword. I'm leaving first, my bus is coming.” Tia left Gilang who was still parked his car on the side of the road.
“For what else is he trying to get close to Tia?” grumbled someone who had been watching Tia from across the street.
“Awas only if he dared to approach Tia again, I will beat him to the end.” Rio clenched both his hands trying to hold back his anger.
Rio did not continue to watch over Gilang who was still in his place. Rio chose to follow the direction of the bus that was boarded by Tia. But today the bus that Tia was riding was different than usual, Tia got off the bus and changed to take the bus to the airport.
“Airport? Where is he going?” Rio tried to stay at a safe viewing distance for Tia not to know if she was following him all along.
“Cindy!!” tia shouted as she saw Cindy still waiting for her in front of the airport lounge.
“Tia!” Cindy replied to Tia's wish and walked towards her. The two friends hugged each other warmly and were overwhelmed with haru.
“You don't have to follow me here, Tia. I would feel sad to see you before I leave.”
“It is precisely I who will be sad if not see you, because after this I will not be able to directly meet you as I like as usual.”
“Pray me, Tia. Pray that I can live in the country.”
“Surely you will feel at home there, because there you are with the person who loves you.”
“Sorry if I didn't get to give you anything.” Add Tia.
“Your arrival alone is more valuable than the most expensive jewelry in the world. Because I'm so grateful to have a friend like you.”
“Honey, we have to check-in.” immediately invite Yose.
“I go first, Tia. We can still be friends and tell each other, right?”
“Of course. Careful.” Tia let go of her hand grip and waved her hand with a happy smile on her face. “Yose! Take care of Cindy for me.”
“Of course.” Yose gave her thumbs up a sign if she would do Tia's orders solemnly.
And now, Tia felt alone again because her only friend had left with her happiness.
