The Ugly Wife's
Decisionmaking

"Ehem, Ahem..." Zidan pretended to cough. It seemed that his presence in that place, had been forgotten by the three girls who looked still fondly embraced before him.

"Eh, mr. Zidan. Sorry, sir, we forgot that Mr. Zidan is still here" Asyifa said, scratching his neck that did not feel itchy.

"I'm fine Asyifa, but are we now able to discuss the next steps for your problem?"

"I mean father? What's the next step for, sir?"

"Well to the perpetrators who maliciously did all this to you, to make you have to lie in the hospital like now!"

"The thing that Mira said just now, they should be given the appropriate punishment for their actions. So, what do you want me to do to them? Fired or put in jail?".

"Sir? In jail? Se, a moment Mr. Zidan, can't it be solved alright? They are mostly your employees, but only because of our personal problems, they have to be fired from your company".

"Just because they are my employees, I have the right to do so. Didn't you?"

"Don't tell me, you want this matter to be considered non-existent and solved only by them apologizing to you? Fa, even though I hate the same thing as hostility and want all problems to be resolved properly, but for this time they are already very outrageous! Me and Mira know very well how patient you have been facing them, but this time they must be punished!"

"I know Ngel, but if Zidan fired them because of my personal problems, then it's the same I'm not professional at work!"

"The unprofessionals at work are not you Asyifa. They were the ones who started all this and not you, after all they did that evil thing inside my office, how could I close my eyes about it! At least I have to discipline the three of them firmly!"

"The father did not close his eyes at all about what happened to me, the proof is that you can be here now! So I beg you, let's just finish everything right"

"If that's what you want the Fa to do, then do it! Because I know, whatever decision you're going to make, there's a reason for it, and I believe you can handle all of this"

"Thank you Mira"

"But unfortunately I don't want to be like that! What if I followed your words to get things done well, instead making them bigger and bigger and eventually repeating the same mistakes?"

"I don't want to finish it with a discharge line or call the police, and I do want to finish it well but it will be a little different than usual. So you don't have to worry, and please just trust me"

The three men threw astonished looks at each other after hearing Asyifa's words.

"Sir, what if we just follow the words of Ashifa? Because I think, Asyifa must have a plan to make them get their punishment" said Angel began to support his friend's decision.

"You sure? Then try to explain to us about your plan" Zidan relented.

Asyifa smiled happily because her boss seemed sincere about wanting to do all this, because he cared about her.

Safira pulled her hair in frustration while banging her head on the table, making the two girls in front of her, looking at her in horror.

"Stop Sapphira!"

"What the hell Karin, let alone!"

"Are you crazy? What is it you Safira! You see dong, everyone in this cafe is staring at us because you are suddenly acting strange! So stop acting like that!" reply Karin emotion.

"Yes Ra, embarrassed to see you like a freak in a cafe" said Lia

"Yes, I'm crazy! As stupid as they all are, if they want to see me then look! You guys think I'm not stressed, it's been three days since it happened!"

"What if three days have passed?"

"Lia, you really don't know or just pretend you don't know?"

"I understand what you're worried about. Mr. Zidan has not called us at all to discuss the issue of Asyifa, and Mira and Angel have not brought up the issue either. Only other office employees are busy gossiping so we should enjoy lunch at this cafe and not in the office cafeteria" explained Karim at length.

"Isn't that even good, huh? We are not reprimanded and fired by the boss, nor must we face the two companions of Asyifa. All we need to do now, is to heed the ears about the various kinds of gossip about us that are circulating right now!"

"Kok you say I'm stupid anyway, Safira?"

"Well, you didn't feel weird about everything that was going on? We have made Ashifa rushed to the hospital, even he had to take a leave of absence because after the incident he was in severe shock! But Mr. Zidan and his two best friends, did nothing to us!"

"I agree, this is really weird! Like there's something big coming for us" Karin said anxiously.

It had been three days since they locked Asyifa in the toilet, causing the girl to be rushed to the nearest hospital. Since then, nothing has happened to them.

Though the three were sure very well, that in fact the two friends of Asyifa and their superiors, already knew that they were the mastermind of all that.

There were no calls or dismissals from Zidan for them, and no more slaps or tantrums from the two companions of Asyifa as Mira had done last time to Sapphira.

"Excuse me Safira ma'am, Lia ma'am and Karin's mother" said a girl who had just entered the cafe with her friend, who immediately approached Safira's desk and her gang.

"What's wrong?" safira answered, when he saw the identification mark of the intern who was wearing the girl in front of him.

"I'm sorry for interrupting mom's break. I was told to call Mr. Zidan, Safira's mother with Karin's mother and Lia's mother to immediately go to Zidan's room now"

"Sir Zidan? Call us three? What's for?"

"I'm sorry, Safira, but I don't know why. I was just told Mr. Zidan like that"

"Perhaps, to discuss the issue of Asyifa kali ma'am. We did not hesitate to meet Mr. Zidan right in front of the toilet where Safira's mother and two friends of the mother bully Asyifa" said another intern.

"So your mouth is yeah! Don't be rude to you as me, my rank is more above yours!"

"I'm not being rude, I'm just saying the facts! What harm?"

"You!"

Sapphira's hand was about to slap the girl's cheek in front of her, but was quickly held back by another hand.

"It seems like you like being violent, Safira!" mira said as she let go of Safira's hand violently.

"Don't interfere with you, Mira! It's none of your business, so don't act like a hero!"

"Obviously I should interfere too. Because the girl you almost slapped just now, was an apprentice in the division where I was chairman! And since it's office hours now, that means he's still my responsibility! Do you understand, Safira?

"He's just your subordinate, not your family or your best friend, so there's no need to go that way!" lia tried to defend Safira.

"Oh, so we can interfere about what decision Zidan will take against you? Because the three of you have bullied our BEST FRIEND, don't you mean it?" said Angel cynically, segaja put emphasis on the word friend.

"Safira, Lia, we'd better see Mr. Zidan. For sure now, he is waiting for the arrival of the three of us" said Karin while pulling the hands of his two friends passed from there.

"Yes, go and accept your punishment! Fucking criminals!" shout Mira.

"Thank you, Mira and Angel, for your help" said the girl who assisted Mira, when the figure of Safira and her gang was no longer seen.

"Yes together, the most important thing is that you're okay, right?"

"We're both fine, Mira"

"Goodoo. You two better stay away and never look for trouble with Sapphira and her two best friends, because they are dangerous people!"

"The betul said by Mira. Better just focus on your internship, so you can quickly become a permanent employee in the company"

"Good ma'am, thank you again" said the two at the same time.
