The Second Woman's Regret
First Day After the holidays

Tomorrow is the first day of returning to work after a week off. I have prepared everything; work clothes, shoes, bags and files that have been delayed. I hope that work distracts me. Since that incident I have felt psychologically that I am not okay. Lately I like to feel anxious, Tremor if there are naughty messages from netizens and also anxious uncertain if meeting strangers, as if they will attack me.

After all is done, now is the time to check the office email, maybe there is a task that is missed or there is a new message that I have to fulfill. There was only one impression in the inbox, a message from the general manager. It made me go straight down. Disrespectful dismissal letter because I was considered to be doing inappropriate or immoral acts. My tears are back, how can the office know everything?

The letter was sent two days ago. I was asked to return to the office all work supplies as well as locker keys that were still carried away. Reading it made my body instantly limp. I got fired, I lost my job. Still not enough all the punishments given, do you have to lose the eyes of the search as well? So great was the effect, even though I really did not know Andre's status before. I thought he was really single.

It felt like crying, but the tears seemed dry so that what came out was laughter. Laughter of regret, laughter of sadness, heartache, feeling stupid. Now, the laughter is mixed with the crying. The tears could eventually spill as well. I don't know what else to do. Losing my job, my mom and my sister depended on me.

Entering the office space, all eyes were on me. Before I met the GM, I headed to the room first to pick up the stuff. There I also met Mr. Robin and some sedivisi friends.

"Eh Tira, you're finally coming too." Mr. Robin called me. "Here, to my room first." he opened the door to his room, I just obeyed. "Hows it? You read the email, right?"

"Yes, sir." I said.

"Then?"

"I don't know, sir. That's obviously not true, I ...."

"What's? You accept being fired?"

"No sir, I don't want to lose my job, I'm not married to that man, I'm ...."

"O so yes. Mmmmm, can I help you?"

"Help how sir?"

"I could have talked to our GM. I happen to be the same Mr. Hito is close. Yeah, like this." He showed his index and middle fingers. "How's it?"

Like getting a fresh breeze, I who had originally lost the spirit of life immediately rose again. "You sir, you want to."

"But yeah .. there's a reward." he smiled.

"Okay sir, I don't have a problem. I am ready to give half my salary to my father next month. But please help me talk, sir. I'd be very grateful. I really owe it to you."

"Hehehe, I don't need your money Tira. To me, money is not everything."

"You." Mr. Robin smiled, his smile like he wanted to pounce. I saw him shudder.

"Ma .. I'm sorry, I don't understand, what do you mean?"

"Tira ... no need to pretend plain. Let's just talk bluntly. You don't need to be afraid, here we are safe. Everything will be secret. Me and Mr. Hito both want you. We agreed to help you get back to work here as long as you want to accompany us."

"What did you say?" I immediately got up from the seat, feeling humiliated by his words.

"Eeee, pstttt, don't talk out loud, other employees can hear. You do not need to sell expensive, no need to pretend anymore Tira. Just tell me, how much do you want? Me and Mr. Hito will definitely give. We are not asking for nothing. We know, women like you want money, right? We'll give him."

What else is this? I was bargained like a cheap woman by my own boss just because the confusing news that was clearly the truth was not true.

Enough, this can't be allowed. I'm really inflamed. But I have to think hard to repay them.

"I can't answer it without Mr. Hito" I said, still with his hands trembling because of Tremor's return. I don't know, that's the only answer I can give right now.

"O, so you don't believe me? Although I was just the manager, I also had a lot of money." Robin chuckled. Disgusting. I want to spit on that ugly face. "All right, I'll call Mr. Hoti first. But you're not going anywhere." When he left, he wanted to reach me, but I dodged. Not to be touched by him. "Well, if you don't want me to touch it yet. Just a minute, honey. If your deal is mine!"

Why, why is everything like this? I, who was alone in Mr. Robin's room, could only brace myself not to cry. I have to finish this thing really well. That's right said Good, sir, if I had to fight for justice for myself because no one would defend me if not myself because now I am really in the bottom abyss of a person who is considered a mortal sinner.

Before Mr. Robin gets back, I'll get everything done. Prepare whatever I need to prove their infamy, so I can get justice.

"So how's Tita Pratiwi?" Ask Mr. Hito, who is no less disgusting than Mr. Robin. Those two people are really shameless, I really did not expect to have such a dirty boss. Moreover, they both have a partner. Mr. Hito already has children and a wife, while Mr. Robin is reportedly engaged to be rising to the marriage stage. "You will serve me, if you are willing, you will get whatever you want.?"

"I don't need any of that, sir. I just want my job back. " I said.

"Hahaha, what else is working here Tira for? If you want to be my mistress then I will give you more. Twice your salary plus an apartment in South Jakarta for where you live. If you need anything else, you will give it How?" haggar Pak Hito's.

"I need a job, sir." I said. "Godfathers both know, I'm not who you think I am. I'm not that cheap woman who wants to be the mistress of old bandits like you two. I have high self-esteem. Although I am just an ordinary employee, but abstain for me to sell myself!" i'm affirming.

"Here, how arrogant you are. Pela-- yes stay pela---. Never mind, no more theatrics. Just open your mask, Tira. We both know who you are." Hito smiled slylyly.
