"Because as a man and fellow Muslim, I feel a responsibility when my own brother is in trouble" Akhmar said with confidence.
Safia's ears did not hear wrong. Those are the words Akhmar himself said.
Akhmar walked two steps forward and said, "If you feel uncomfortable, tell me. That way, I'll act further."
After saying this, Akhmar left Safia alone. Akhmar actually knew from yesterday. Even when he met Safia in the cinema, he was worried. Just seeing Safia who was calm, he thought that Safia was so relaxed and could make peace with the situation.

As time went on, Safia felt increasingly uncomfortable with the gossip that continued to circulate widely. Even Maria told me if there was a new and hot topic about Safia. Some say they doubted Safia's sadism.
"Are you sure you won't act?" Mary asked as they were having lunch in the cafeteria.
Safia cannot swallow chicken noodles that are usually very delicious to eat. The woman just looked at him. "I don't know what to do. The rumors are spreading and until now I don't know where the photo came from."
Maria swallowed the small meatball first into her throat and looked at Safia. "Do you ever feel like you've never taken a bikini like that?"
Safia did not remember. Shaking their heads twice. "Not at all, Mar."
"Duh, confused too." Maria again swallowed the little meatballs. For him there was nothing to split, just go straight in. "When viewed from the picture, it was taken at a tourist spot. You don't remember at all?"
Safia has a headache. Accusing Faiz is impossible. He rarely went out of town with Faiz other than a job. "Astagfirullah, I feel like I want to disappear from this earth." Safia looked around. Lots of eyes looked at them, many of the male employees who seemed to imagine things beyond reason. "I can't eat like that." Safia hid her face on the table. Shame, but her stomach needs nutrients.
Maria came to think hard, then the tail of the woman's eyes got the figure of Akhmar carrying a bag of supplies and sitting on a corner bench. Inexhaustible. A manager like Akhmar is still welcome. "That's a real Mr Akhmar, right?" Mary pointed back.
Safia did not respond. Whether it was Akhmar or not, he was not okay.
"Yes, right." Mary answered her own question. "That's great." Safia was curious. The woman raised her head, looking at Maria. "Why is Mr Akhmar the same?" his question was full of curiosity. Maria was silent, still not wanting to lower her forefinger. Safia followed this direction and found an incredible view.
"Even though Mr. Akhmar's class can eat well outside, you know," said Maria again.
Safia was silent, watching the indifferent and indifferent Akhmar with a look around as the man pulled out a box of white stock with a tumbler as well. Really like a school child given by a dear mother.
Some views eventually severed on Akhmar. No longer leads to Safia. Even the female employees no longer cared about Safia's gossip. Just focused on Akhmar.
"I want to be his wife, huh."
"Try Mr. Akhmar find a future wife, yes. I must have made the list first."
"Don't be weird, deh!"
The neighboring whispers heard from the back desk were so clear. The good looks of Akhmar can divert the world of female employees. It's just amazing.
Maria looked around. The sight stopped, at least for a moment. "Unbelievable, everyone immediately looked at Mr. Akhmar. Forgot about you."
Safia flinching. It really happened. Back Safia saw a bowl of chicken noodles that had not been touched at all. It is possible that Akhmar deliberately came to the cafeteria because usually Akhmar will eat in the workroom. "He really cares." Safia grabbed the fork. If left his stomach will hurt because it continues to hold hunger.
"Ah, no. Someone else seems to care too." Safia started eating. The hours of rest will soon be over, at least let the stomach fill up peacefully.
Lunch is over. Safia went straight up to the fourth floor and sat down at the table. Lili approached and leaned towards Safia from behind. "Fia, don't you feel uncomfortable looking at that photo?"
Safia jerks. "Astag." Looking back together with Lili who pulled her body again and now standing straight behind. "You don't come suddenly. I can hang."
Lili stared hard. Looking at the look in Safia's eyes that seemed to be constantly crying, it was just that the woman was hiding well. "Aren't you angry seeing all this? You have no intention of reporting to the IT office?" Here Lili was upset. The woman gave a sharp look.
Safia turned her eyes again. "If you want to talk about it, you better go. I can't think anymore."
Lili turned Safia's body over at once with her chair. "You don't know, do you? if a lot of male employees are said to want to get close to you now."
Safia surprise. "Make what?"
Lili gave a rough breath. "Yes, obviously they think you're an easy-to-approach woman. Some people think you just changed your appearance, but the inside is dilapidated."
The sentence was indeed painful, but Safia could not stop it all. It's out of control.
"You must act quickly!" Lili patted both of Safia's shoulders. "If you feel ashamed, you can take advantage of Mr. Akhmar."
Safia's forehead shriveled tightly. "Utilizing Mr Akhmar?" The woman asked back. Really not understanding.
Lili nodded slowly. "Pak Akhmar is our superior and should have been a shelter. At least he can help you find this troublemaker."
Safia recalled the words of Akhmar this morning. Then, connect it with Akhmar's attitude again at lunch.
"I'm sure in your heart it feels down. Moreover, the photo must have been scattered everywhere. Jail people must have kept the photo for crazy things. You must understand because now everything is all sophisticated and crazy," said Lili.
Safia silence. All the words of Lili filtered as much as possible, do not act rashly. During the conversation, Safia's phone rang. A message was found. Safia quickly opened up, reading one by one the words arranged into that sentence. "I'm still waiting for your report" Safia read. The woman was silent. Weighing all the advice and getting dizzy. Slowly his eyes blurred, no longer clearly visible. Still holding the phone, Safia suddenly fell down.
Lili shocked. "Safia!" His voice managed to attract the attention of a roommate. Maria still did not come because she intended to buy coffee first.
"Fia why?"
"Eh, please dong!"
"So she's afraid!"
Five people approached Safia. The noise caught the attention of Akhmar who was already in the room. The man kept the phone, then rushed out. "What's this?" Seeing employees gathered at one point.
One of them looked back and said, "Safia fainted, sir."
After hearing that sentence, Akhmar thoughtlessly walked quickly. Though Safia was seen eating, why fainted? could it be that the girl was feeling pressured that her body strength was weakening?
