The Revenge of the President
Chapter 26 Under the Rain

It's noon, time for a break. Arshila went up on the third floor, towards her superior room. He wanted to express his intention to resign.

Gts ... Gts ... Geck...

"Lake in."

"Good day, ma'am."

"What's up, Shi?"

"I have to, ma'am."

"Sit down."

Yuri, looking noticed Arshila's appearance was so different. Expensive clothes, attached to the girl's body. But, his thoughts were on Nessa, who might have already prepared for Arshila.

"Mom, I'm resigning." Hesitatingly, Arshila said it.

"Are you in trouble or are you uncomfortable? You haven't worked a month."

"Not that, ma'am. I want to open a business. It just so happened that my ex-husband had already sent me the compensation money. The amount is quite large, so I thought to open my own business."

"Goodoo. I'm glad to hear that. I'll give you half of a month's salary."

"Thank you, ma'am. I'm sorry, too, if I make a mistake while working here."

"Either. You will come here sometime.

"Yes, ma'am."

Arshila walked out of the room, having talked for a long time inside. He stirs his bag, searches for a cell phone to contact Dave.

"Where's my phone?" keep stirring, even spilling the contents of his bag on the floor.

"Did I forget to take her?"

Arshila kept remembering where her phone was last night.

Ah, true. Because, too shocked by the arrival of the servants, in his room. He forgot his favorite thing.

Waitaminute! His wallet was not there, he again saw the contents of the tasx scattered on the floor. There's a pen, a notebook, papers whatever the writing is, a cell phone case and some make up.

"Oh, how's this?"

Arshila panicked, how she would go home later. He does not have a penny, half the salary given by the mother yuri has already been transferred in his account.

To make him panic, he hasn't had lunch. Staying at Dave's house, he felt bad, asking to be made stock by the waiter.

"I have to how?"

Arshila put her things back in the bag. He went down on the second floor, where the employees were sitting down to enjoy lunch.

"Shi, come here." Vina waved her hand, taking Arshila to sit next to her.

"Have you eaten?"

"Yet, Ma'am."

"Yes, already. You ate, I had lunch, but it turns out my boyfriend brought me lunch."

"Thank you, Ma'am."

Arshila is enthusiastic, receiving the lunchbox that Vina gave her. Unabashedly, he instantly devoured it.

They were engaged in conversation, in this kind of atmosphere, Arshila wanted to tell them, that she had resigned. But he was confused, what if they asked about the location of his new business? All of this is just a lie. He waited for Dave, to give him a boutique to manage on his own. But Dave kept it a secret.

After lunch, they returned to work as usual.

The wall clock is showing at four in the afternoon. Arshila was getting ready to go home, with the other employees.

Outside, the weather was so dark, the wind was also so strong. Trees growing in front of the building, swaying in the direction of the wind. The twigs and leaves follow, falling on the ground.

"Shi, we go first, yeah."

His friends, leave after someone picks him up. There is also a walk to the bus stop.

He was still waiting in front of the building. Hopefully, the man who just proposed to her today will pick her up soon.

Slowly, the raindrops began to fall. The sound roared above the sky, deafening. Arshila began to fidget, I don't know how long she had been waiting. There was no sign anyone would pick him up.

The day was getting darker, the raindrops had already become very heavy. The wind, making his body feel cold.

If only I hadn't forgotten my phone and wallet. Or one of the two, I can definitely go home quickly. Arshila muttered to herself, regretting that she had forgotten the important thing that had to be in her bag.

A flash of light above the sky, followed by a thunderous sound. Arshila closed her ears. The rain showed no sign of stopping. He was increasingly agitated and frightened, especially the trauma he experienced had not disappeared.

"Where is he? Why haven't you come yet? Did something happen to her? If only, I hadn't forgotten my phone." Arshila blamed herself.

In fact, across the street right in front of the building where he works. The man, who had been watching him for a long time, noticed all his movements, smiling.

Everything was planned, taking Arshila's phone and wallet. Today, he wanted to make the woman crawl, under the rain. Like he did with Clarissa.

The darkness of the night is getting real, slowly the rain begins to subside, even though the raindrops have not stopped. Arshila ventured away from the building, ignoring the rain that was drenching her body, as well as the bone-chilling gust of wind.

I can't keep waiting, he murmured as he continued to step. But, what should I do? Take the bus, I don't have any money, ojek online, I forgot to bring my phone. I had no choice but to walk. If I had stayed contracted, this would have been very close. But, at Dave's house, it's a long way off. Maybe, I'll arrive when the cock crows.

I was hoping that someone would see me as I passed by and give me a ride. Arshila continued muttering, until her footsteps were not felt, already far away from the building.

The rain has not stopped, it does not walk alone. There are still many people who pass by, using umbrellas or raincoats. Not like it, who plays rain in skimpy clothes.

Street lights, illuminating every step that somehow ends where. Arshila opened the high heels she was wearing. Naked feet in wet clothes. He also felt the cold.

Steady, Shi. Any minute! Mumbled with his heart. The road he took was not half the journey.

I don't know what time it was, the time he passed it was not known. He just kept going, with the hope coming soon.

The rain that had died down, now began to fall back rapidly. Arshila did not want to shelter, free, he murmured. He's soaked, why else seek refuge.

Walk, keep walking, until the traffic state starts to quiet. No more, passerby. Although vehicles, there are still many passing. The sound of horns and car lights dotting the road, made Arshila a little far from fear.

But, I'm tired, I can't walk anymore. I was cold, I couldn't. Arshila's legs had stopped, her breathing felt tight. The increasingly piercing cold air, made his body tremble with coldness. Her lips turned blue and felt frozen. His feet, too, felt sore.

From a safe distance, Dave still watched her with a satisfied smile.

"Wise! It's just the first day."

Arshila was still forcing both of her legs to step up. He hugged his body, with both hands trembling.

"I can't stand it!" he said slowly, even his voice could only be heard by him alone.

Beep ... beep...

The sound of a horn, the car stopped next to him.

"Are you okay?"

Arshila did not reply, her body was too tired, even just to nod or shake her head.

His sight was already blurry, not knowing who the man who greeted him was.
