The Noodle In Love
55. Rumored

For a few days now, Rushqi and I went to work together and he waited for her to come home. We got along and Rushqi didn't care if there were any gossip on us. However, to this day it continues to be safe and not a single mouth came to harass me.

"I don't want to keep hitchhiking in your car. Some will long see. You don't matter, no one will dare to mock you. But I, I don't think I'll take it."

I spread the burden of my head. Although it looks comfortable and fine, I am actually depressed and tense. Especially if we have reached the company area, even until I hold my breath until I leave Rushqi who is still packing in his car.

"What if you quit your job, Ling? I'll straighten your resignation to HRD" Rushqi said with a focus on steering. I think I was surprised by his words.

"What can I do, my one-year contract." I looked at Rushqi in disbelief. This is my old dream that I managed to keep safe in wishful thinking. How I wanted to go back to Java a few months ago. However, miss Yong managed to scuttle me. If it turns out to be possible, of course I'm willing. I want to go home.

"Of course you can, Ling. That is your right as a worker. It's just that some of the company's obligations to you will fall and no longer be yours" Rushqi explained.

The man seemed to be very familiar with all the problems in the company. Of course, if rights are money, I don't really care, just so much as not to hurt me.

"Help me to get out of my job" I said quickly and earnestly as I reached Errushqi.

All I had changed was astonished by my excellent response to his suggestion and offer. Maybe Rushqi can read a little bit what's going on in my head.

"Why do you seem so excited to quit your job? I thought you'd mind, Ling. You seem to like your work" Rushqi asked.

"Like how? I've never worked before. At that time I also wanted to quit my job, but miss Yong scared me." I revealed the reality of that time to Rushqi.

"When breaking up with the Son?" asked Rushqi the right guess. I also nodded. I explained about the alibi miss Yong who managed to get me to work to this day.

"If so, I think miss Yong would be very valuable to me. If miss Yong passes your resignation at that time, we will never meet."

Rushqi was smiling from the side. The man threw his eyes out on the street. Others are discussed, others are also in his head..

"Is there no women in Borneo?" I suddenly wanted to know.

"Which earth has no female name? Your species is already almost double the number of men. I don't want to go near a girl my parents don't know" Rushqi said, insinuating.

"You think I didn't either? My parents knew it was just the Son. Not another man" I told Rushqi. The man looked surprised and looked at me.

"I get it, Ling. Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you. But it's not a big deal. I'll introduce myself to your ort as soon as possible."

Rushqi spoke firmly with a long, long look at me. No, I don't think this conversation should end here soon.

We're almost through the gate. My feeling turned very tense in sitting my back. I wish no company employee would know me, and then taunt me when I get to the production area at the back end.

"Call me?!" I asked with half my body on the door.

"Come here for a minute, Linga!" dimas shouted while waving hands at me.

"What's wrong?" ask me after standing close in front of him.

Dimas shifted closer in the mixer tube and a little further away from me. I also snatched the data record I had filled and hung near the tube. Like this was sheer acting while we were chatting in the area.

"Is it not in your ear yet about the latest gossip?" dimas asked softly with a glance at me.

Stunned I looked at his face, Dimas again pretended to be busy with many buttons in the mixer tube which was actually just being stroked by his fingers. I can guess who exactly is being referred to.

"Is the gossip figure me?" ask me directly with worry. Dimas glanced at me.

"You're self-conscious? Are you really the new manager's mistress?" Although to the point because it saves time, but Dimas asked with a soothing smile. Maybe to keep my heart feeling. I admit, Dimas was a good man.

"I'm the new manager's mistress? Why is it called a stash? Is our new manager married, until I'm called a mistress?" ask me without dodging, while I reply Dimas with a similar smile. In order to flow smoothly the whole gossip story to me.

"Not so, but you're also living in the new manager's house. That's what makes you rumored to be a mistress. Also many know that the manager already has another woman, and what they often see is not you" explained Dimas with more frequent eyes.

Dimas must be feeling safe. The leader is quite sensitive in detecting whether in the mikser area is safe or not from the sudden arrival of outsiders who like to appear at any time.

"Mas, I actually rented a room at the manager's house. I just drove the car home and away. I'm not a mistress," I explained to Dimas.

This is simalakama, but I think it's better. It turned out that there were also rumors going on but calm about me. Ah, thankfully Dimas was pretty good to me.

If anyone reports that I don't live in a dorm, it feels like I'm resigned. This is the same as resigning well to HRD in the company. I'm tired of being a disciplined worker on miss Yong.

I really, really want to go home. Rushqi's idea made my old spirit to return home relapsed again. My father would be surprised and very happy. Moreover, now I have worn a veil like he ever asked me to.

"Mas Dimas, thanks for coming straight to me. I hope your rezekinu is smooth, your job is good and your good soul mate is fast approaching. Aamiins. I go down first" I said to Dimas. If you do not remember the long queue of the area that I have to go to, want to talk to Dimas longer.

"Take care of yourself, Linga!" I heard Dimas's exclamation between the faint roar of the mixer in the tube. I was overwhelmed by her good message to me. What I might soon leave this area with these good people here Ah, turns out to be very sad..
