It was raining heavily, just before the office hours. Tia was only stunned to see water droplets drenching the large glass window right behind her work chair.
Hmmm .. where the rain suit is left behind again! huff ....! Tia grumbled in her heart while propping her chin with her two palms.
Firm, Jeni, and Tami were ready to go home, Gugun also seemed to follow soon to go home. He looked at the restless Tia while looking at the rain through the window.
"Tia, aren't you back?" Ask Gugun.
"Rain, Bang. Don't bring my raincoat!"
Rey looked at Gugun who was standing right beside Tia.
"Gue take two of them in the motorcycle seat, want to be with me?" Gugun.
"No need to bang, thank you. I'll just go back and wait for it to go away." Reject Tia politely with a smile.
"Oh, yeah. I go first, right?
Mr Rey, I'm first, okay?" Pamit Gugun on Tia and Rey.
"Okay Gun, be careful?" Sahut Rey's.
"Yes Bang, be careful ...." Imbuh Tia while waving to Gugun.
Gugun raised his thumb and smiled as he moved out of the room.
Tia and Rey look at each other when they realize that there are only them in the room. Tia looked awkward and hurriedly turned her gaze towards the large window to stare at the rain.
Rey smiled faintly at Tia's awkward-looking reaction to him, then returned to focus staring at the computer screen. Rey still records the reports made by her staff including Tia, to be submitted to the leadership the day after.
Minutes have changed hours, but the rain has not subsided. Tia was getting panicked, wanting to go home quickly because her body was already feeling tired.
In that unease, his phone rang. He immediately receives a phone call that turns out to be from Hendra.
"Daddy, you're not home yet? How is the bike still in the parking lot?"
"Not Brother, I didn't bring a raincoat. I forgot, but I was at the table. Now still in the room. Brother Hendra downstairs? Bring a raincoat?"
"Not brought it either. Last time when Brother left was still sunny, kirain did not rain .. from a very bright morning!"
"Well that .. actually I have felt that today it will rain, but ... even miss the raincoat."
"You're taking an online taxi on Dek."
"I tried the message earlier but the application was again a nuisance, brother. I can't even get out of there!"
Hendra was silent for a moment.
"Bareng me, I'm done with the report." Said Rey on the sidelines of the conversation Tia dn Hendra.
Tia suddenly looked at Rey clumsyly, he did not feel good if the division boss had to take her home.
"No, sir, I'll just wait for the rain to stop." Tia Sahut.
"Who, Dek?" Ask Hendra from the phone.
Rey walks over to Tia's desk and asks for the phone she's using. Although confused, but Tia just give her phone to Rey.
"Hello?" Sapa Rey on the phone.
"Yes, hello?"
"It's me, Rey. You ... Hendra's Tia's sister, right?"
"Oh yeah, what's wrong, Mr Rey?"
"Ndra, I'm asking your sister's permission to come home? It's a pity that this hour is still here. Going home because it rains can't get overtime, baby Ndra?" Seloroh Rey's.
"Oh yes sir, ready!"
"You mean you're ready to give me permission?"
"Yes Mr. Rey, please. But if Mr. Rey doesn't mind."
"Tia will ride the car with me, I don't carry it. So yes .. I won't mind." Kelakar Rey's.
Hendra chuckled at hearing it.
"Yes sir, please. Sorry to be a hassle, Mr Rey? dan ... thank you very much."
"Oke .. both Ndra. You survived the service, huh?"
"Okay sir, thank you."
The phone call ended. Rey returned Tia's phone.
"I got permission from your sister. Come home with me." Said Rey.
Tia seemed to still not believe the words she heard, until Rey had to affirm it once again.
"You want to stay here? Look, the sky is dark! Are you tired of sitting in the office? Yuk, did I take you home?"
Both of them went out of the room, not forgetting Rey locked the door first.
In the parking area, they met Hendra who was on duty. He was on guard that night.
"Sir Rey, I'm sorry to be such a hassle?" Say Hendra politely.
"Looking Ndra, anyways in the same direction. No hassle ...." Sahut Rey, very relaxed but still authoritative.
"Sister, I'll go home first, okay?" Pamit Tia kissing the back of her brother's hand.
"Yes, be careful, Dek?"
Tia nodded.
"Yes Ndra, we go first?" Pamit Rey's.
"Okay sir, please. Be careful on the road." Hendra.
Rey nodded and smiled, then stepped closer to her car and followed Tia.
The car also slowly drove out of the office area and hit the swift rain that seemed to be non-stop.
Rey drove her car casually, she was very careful because her gaze was blocked by the rush of rain even though the wiper had been activated.
Tia was more silent then, she was confused what to talk about. Rey starts a conversation to break the silence and awkwardness between them.
"Aren't you going to tell me the way to the house, Tia? How did she get from earlier? Later I forget that if there is you here, continue straight bablas back home." Reprimand Rey with a bit of frown.
Tia turned to Rey and laughed a little.
"You if in the office and there are other friends who can be ordinary to me, but if only there are two of us who suddenly awkward? Wh why? What do I look like to you?" Ask Rey while staying focused on driving.
"Hmmm .. nothing sir, just ordinary.
Sir, up ahead turn left?" His mouth then directed Rey to turn.
"Oh, okay." Sahut Rey's.
"Later fit on the power pole, turn right, sir?" Tia returned to directing.
"Is it close?" Ask Rey.
"Already, sir." Tia said while focusing on the road.
Rey is so good at driving her car and makes Tia feel comfortable and safe despite being around the corner and the road is shaky, Rey is able to control the speed of her car smoothly and stable.
"Well, it's getting closer, sir. That's a house that's blue." Tia said as she pointed her right index finger forward, towards a simple house painted blue.
"okay ...." Sahut Rey's.
The car stopped right in front of the house that Tia meant.
"Thank you sir?" Tia said before getting out of the car.
"Yes, same ...." Rey smiled with a smile.
Tia was stunned to see Rey's smile, a smile that felt different from the one she used to see during office hours. Rey's smile that night was warmer, rather than the 'formal' smile between her boss and staff.
However Tia hurriedly brushed off the feeling and rushed to open the car door, but Rey swiftly held Tia's hand to hold her down. Tia looked over, surprised.
"It's still raining outside, I'll take a folding umbrella first. I think I'll have an umbrella in here." Rey opened her car drawer and picked up a blue umbrella.
"You wait here first." Pinta Rey on Tia, then she opens the car door, opens the umbrella and comes down, then closes the door back on the steering wheel.
Rey walked towards the passenger door, where Tia was sitting looking at her in surprise. Rey opens the door for Tia.
"Yuk down?" Take Rey while paddling right in front of the car door.
An awkward feeling again ambushed Tia, but she could soon control herself so as not to drag on.
Tia steps down from the car and walks towards her house under Rey's umbrella, taking shelter.
"Thank you, Mr. Rey, so take it." Tia said once again as they arrived on the porch of the house.
"Name-sama ... Yes you've gone in there, outside cold. Tomorrow our team still has to work hard for the office anniversary event, okay?" Rey said with a smile, again a smile that felt warm among the cold due to the rain that night.
Tia smiled and held up her thumb. He reached into his bag to retrieve the house keys and began to put them in the slot. But Tia looked back again, she still saw Rey who was standing waiting for her.
"Sir Rey is still here?" Tia asked, spontaneously.
Rey nodded, her forehead cringing.
"Oh, hmmm ... Rey hasn't come home yet? Later Mr. kemalaman loh!" Tia said, try to clarify the point.
Rey chuckles and says, "I thought you were upset with me!"
Tia laughed too. Suddenly a flash of lightning accompanied by thunder shocked the two. The shocked Tia screamed and Rey swiftly grabbed her.
