THE WOMAN (END)
•79

Today seemed to be the worst day I had, when I tried my hardest to lie to Sandy about my meeting with Bu Ayu. I had to face the fact that my other lies would soon be exposed.

Mr. Ivan looked at the two of us in turn, his gaze as if he was getting a big jackpot.

"Good morning, director?" I always say hello to Sandy.

"Why are you doing this blind morning here?" sandy stared at her.

While I who had not calmed down since then continued to pray that Mr. Ivan did not tell him if he was the owner of this shop.

But it seems like my hope is in vain...

Mr. Ivan smiled wryly, glancing at me as if asking me to answer the question Sandy asked him.

"Didn't Eyebrows tell you?!"

At once Mas Sandy turned to me in shock and then turned to look at Mr. Ivan.

"Don't joke, he has nothing to do with you!" tukas mas Sandy sure.

"Udah mas, do not need to be served. many people are not good to see!" I rubbed his arm.

"It looks like your relationship has gone to a serious stage huh!" Mr. Ivan looked closely at me.

"Don't fuck around!" sulut mas Sandy put up his sturdy body to protect me.

"Alis,.. would you not want to explain to my friend this. if you are my employee now?"

BOOMM!

I breathed deeply.

As I expected, he would be happy to tell Sandy. I looked up at Sandy worried.How is she feeling now? he'll be mad at me.

"Is that really tea?" sandy said, but did not look at me.

"Buck,.. I can explain everything!" mummify slowly.

"Good! start now! you don't have to work here anymore!" sandy pulled my hand and made me stagger to follow him.

"Wait!" mr. Ivan tried to get me.

"Although you're my boss, but here, he's my employee! you can't just be like you used to be, san" he said cynically.

I'm really confused as to what to do with these two guys. I don't want to quit my job right now, seeing Sandy angry like this also makes me unable to resist.

"I'm more entitled to Eyebrows. not you!!!" sulut mas Sandy is no less fierce.

"Oh, so you want to show me that you're dating? does he not know, that later he will also leave you like the trash you used to throw away!" satirize.

"Whatever!" furious that Sandy left Mr. Ivan just like that, then his hand pulled and dragged my body into the car.

Our car drove so fast splitting the still foggy city streets. I didn't dare to reprimand him even though the weight of his car almost made my heart stop beating.

Sandy took me to her apartment. Fear instantly haunted me. Unimaginable of what he would be like raging at me. Even his face looked crimson, probably from holding back anger.

Sandy got out of the car slamming the door hard enough.

SCRAP!

I was aghast and rushed to open my safetybelt which suddenly jammed.

"Come on. don't make emotions either!" my grunts pulled that thing rough.

Sandy opened the door to my car, but her eyes did not want to see me at all.

I came down with fear.I dare not look him in the eye.

"Mas Sandy I'm sorry!" nervous muttered.

"We're talking inside!" mas Sandy preceded me to walk towards her apartment.I followed her without refuting anymore.

•••

Shards of dark stories about my quarrel in the past seemed to reincarnate back into a series of real images in my mind.

Little by little fear pulled me into that nightmare again. Will Sandy be as rude as Rizal was?

"Lake in!" the reprimand sounds harsh.

I still shuddered, not wanting to step my foot into his apartment.What if he was really going to be rude to me. I turned my head back. damn it, there's no exit close just in case I have to run.

"Why? looking for a way out to escape?" it was like knowing my way of mind.

"Let's go in!" his orders were half threatening.

Finally I ventured to enter, and at once Sandy dragged me to sit on the sofa.

Getting rough treatment certainly makes me shocked. mas Sandy who I know not like this, was that bad he to me? or does this all have something to do with Ivan?

I looked up at him.

"So the owner of the shop was Ivan?" his hisses are upset

"Sorry, I didn't mean to hide everything from Sandy!"

"Then why don't you tell me and let him say it? I really am such a fool!" sandy smiled bitterly.

"Bus, um,.." I got up and held both hands,

"Even you dare to lie! when he said, I don't understand you tea?! you still act calm even without guilt? great you!!!" his lips are full of emotion.

I can only be bowed before Sandy mas. This problem that I crave has finally backfired for me. I cannot refute, because I am the one who is guilty in this matter. I was too afraid to be honest, to ignore his feelings.

"Didn't you believe in me tea? so you don't want to tell me everything about Ivan? or is it true my guess! you know each other already.and I don't know about that?" his accusation was half-screaming.His facial muscles looked dull and extremely frightening.

"I swear, I don't know Mr. Ivan at all. The reason I didn't tell Sandy, because I thought it wasn't a big deal. I just work there and there is no intention other than that." I explained.

"Not a big deal you said? you don't know how Ivan is! He has betrayed me and I don't want it to happen again!"

"Does this have anything to do with your past?!" my investigation is beginning to realize one thing.

Mas Sandy turned her face in a state of confusion, maybe she herself was not aware of what she was saying.

"Teh Alis doesn't have to work there anymore" he ordered.

I cast a dislike look at his authoritarian orders.

"No, I really need that job." I refused.

This time Sandy looked at me fiercely.

"How much money do you need to stop working with him?!"

DEG!

That vile and painful question I never thought came out of his mouth.

Do I look like I really need money?

Is it for him that money can solve every problem that happens to me?

Am I worthless so that he can buy my every hardship with money?

"It's that low Sandy's judging me?" I stared at him.

We looked at each other for a long time and were upset, angry and disappointed to be mixed into one. There was no sentence we could say in the end.

"Whatever money Sandy will give me, I won't stop working!" tandasku.

"Stupid" Sandy sighed in disappointment.

And I don't care about it. To me, it hurt so much.

"I was too stupid to be loved by you. I'm saying goodbye!" I walked leaving him.

The tightness in my chest felt more and more the last time I heard Sandy throw a hard object until it sounded smashed against the wall.

I leaned behind the door, because suddenly my legs felt weak.I tried to catch my breath and wiped my tears before finally leaving the apartment.
