09.20 WIB – Dion's Office
“ Hello bro, today interview new programmer ya?”, asked Ivan in my phone connection.
“ Yes, temen lo so want to sleep? His son came today?”.
“ Say the hell already until lo office. Tar find a child whose name is Bima. He's my ex-team, just resigned because he wants to nerusin kuliah”.
“ Okay. If the skill is good, I prioritize. Are you going to my office today? help me count dong Van”.
“ Ready to tar me drop by. I have a lot to audit today”, he replied.
“ Okay thank you Van “.
Scroll the clock on my wrist, time has shown at 09.30 WIB. In half an hour I have to interview a couple of candidates who will be Ray's replacement programmers and his team. Now that I've taken over the company, Ray's men have also terminated his contract.
Finally arrived also my car in front of the co-working space that I rented as my office for the last 3 years. I parked my car right next to the entrance and rushed into my room before the programmer came.
“ Morning Mr. Dion. Today there is an interview?”, greet Astri the new receptionist in this co-working space.
“ Yes Tri, later if there is a guest to my office, please give me the form. The power I already love yesterday, it may be in drawer”.
“ There is already one person who came sir, I told you to go into the room Mr. Sorry I don't know if there is a form nya”, he said apologizing while scraping his desk drawer.
“ It's okay, just a formality anyway. Later in the world I also read their CV. Thank you”. I answered while stepping my feet towards the room at the end of the passageway.
I opened the door of my room measuring 5 x 4 m2 with a modern industrial interior design. Three work tables and a minimalist three seater sofa look clean and neatly arranged. The service in this co-working space must be thumbs up, it feels like having an office in a prestigious building with five-star facilities.
“ New until bro?”,
A man surprised me as soon as I got out of the bathroom. My heart was almost dislodged seeing his figure present right in front of me. The man smiled as he washed his hands in the sink.
“ Jeez Ray, you ngagetin me. Why are you here?”.
“Just want to stop by, who knows there is a job that I can help”, he replied while smiling.
“ I have not asked you for dateng, today the schedule padet want interview”, I said while walking to my work desk.
“ I came to say something to you. This time I'm serious, stop interrupting my household affairs Yon”.
I turned my head around while looking into Rayendra's eyes. The man with a shorter posture than me was looking at me with sharp eyes.
“ What does it mean to disturb your household? Which household?”.
“ Households with Rania. Don't pretend to be naive. I know who's behind all this. You did not report about me to Rania to help him in the trial?”, he accused.
“ Hahahaha so you are still married to Rania? You feel Rania is still your wife that means?”.
“ Don't have to talk back. I'm fed up with your alibi by always twisting the facts. I have never interfered in your personal affairs so far, then why do you ngerecokin my personal affairs Yon?”, he said while pointing at my face.
“ Denger yes, I answer one by one. I'm not the one who reported your relationship with Renata, he knew himself that Renata was your affair all along. Second, I don't feel like helping Rania take care of her divorce case, because I don't know the law. Third, even if I was on Rania's side, what would you like?”.
“ Eh lo inget yes, who can get-deal-in all our projects? Who owns all the apps that the client asks for? and who shut down your secret meeting when cheating on Nadine?. I don't know about your personal affairs, do you Yon? Sampe now you live much happier”.
“ Sorry ya Ray. About me and Nadine so much happier because I repent with God. I've apologized and admitted all my mistakes, and I never once thought to cheat from Nadine again”.
“ It's up to you, now I ask you to take care of my personal affairs and to help Rania in the trial again, or I....”.
“ Or what? Do you want to go to the police for defamation? With Ray's pleasure, I would have come if there was a call. All I do not have to bother dragging you there because of embezzlement”, I said cynically.
“ Damn lo Yon, I have helped you all this time instead of thanking “, he replied as he approached and pulled my collar with his right hand. Spontaneously I pushed his body until he released his grip.
“ What the fuck lo Ray, want to smash in here? Who should be angry that I am Ray, you can lie to me by taking company money. Have a brain anyway lo?”, I said with a higher tone. My blood seemed to be boiling because of Ray's treatment just now.
“ I want to give you a warning yes Yon, never nudge me” life.
“ Do not bacot much Ray, pay first lo debt. I'm sick of all that lo” nonsense.
The voice of my office phone rang in the middle of my debate with Rayendra. The man's face was crimson, his hands clenched as if preparing to float his raw bogem towards me. I tried to refrain from replying to his treatment, because once my fist floated, this man's face was battered.
“ Mr Dion what is it?”, said Astri who suddenly opened the door of my room with a panicked face. I saw some people looking at me curiously, as if figuring out the source of the commotion they were hearing.
“ There's nothing Tri. Please close the door. Guests who want to be interviewed have all attended?”, my question while turning my face to the pale Astri.
“ Already present from earlier Sir, want me to tell wait in the lobby or how?”.
“ Call first person any minute. This guest in front of me is soon going to kok”, I said as I looked back at Ray's face with breathing still hunting.
“ Well sir, I called the first ya”, he said as he hurriedly closed the door of my room.
I fixed the collar of my shirt that was tangled because of Ray's grip, my hands to the point of shaking so much as to hold back emotions because of his silly behavior.
“ Look at Yon, if you get involved again, I will do the same for Nadine's story about all your foul behavior first. Lo inget was a former affair you ever fall child of lecherous relationship lo”.
“ Damn lo Ray !!! “.
No doubt my fist drifted up to his body and fell to the floor. I pulled the collar of his shirt until his neck choked so much that his hand squeezed my wrist. His body tried to push me but his efforts were in vain, once again my raw bogem laid on his face until his body fell to the floor.
“ Astagfirullah!!! Mas please dong. Mas Bima split dong please”, shouted Astri while calling people who passed in the hallway so panicked.
A tall, thin man ran and restrained my body, while another man helped Ray to wake up.
“ Ray, you whirled out of here, before I called the police!!!”, threatening me while pointing at the man holding his injured temple.
“ Fucking lo Yon. From now on I don't want any more business. Just know, if you are a guy who does not know thank you”, he said while pointing at me. This thin man immediately held me back so that I would not raise my fist, while Ray was swept by the other man to the outside of the room.
“ Which is Bima?”, I asked Astri who was still standing looking at our fight scene.
“ I am Mas”, said the skinny man who had been holding my body. Finally he took off his grip and tidied up his shirt.
“ Sit Bim, sorry for the incident just now. Suppose there is nothing”, my command to Bima to sit in the chair next to him.
“ Sorry Mr Dion, what do you need? Need to drink sir?”, asked Astri with an anxious look.
“ Can Tri, later ask OB inter. I have nothing kok”, I replied while trying to catch my breath.
“ Good Sir, excuse”.
My head was still throbbing from my fight just now, if only Astri and Bima had not appeared, I would have made Ray battered. Ray could discuss my dark past, even though for years I tried to forget the sin that had haunted me. I tried to catch my breath to start an interview with the man who was wrong in front of me, sometimes his eyes stole a glance at me and then he threw a look in the other direction.
“ Ok Bim, please tell me about your work experience where?”, I asked without further ado.
Bima told me at length about his work experience as stated in the CV. My eyes were staring at his face but not at my thoughts. The contents of my head at this time seemed to drag me into dark times, guilt and anger seemed to be raging dragging me in anxiety.
