Episode 21

Today, I should be able to decide on one of the two options Kevin gave me. The choice that made my heart sad.

How not, on the one hand if I choose Aldi, then Aldi will be fired. And if I choose that job, I should stay away from Aldi. Sick, sad, all mixed together into one in my head. It's not luck, it's anxiety in one direction. My mouth cannot speak, where my choice will drop.

I was still sitting on my bed, thinking about the situation ahead.

Maybe leaving you behind was a big mistake for me, Aldi. But, your career, your job, it means more. Then I tried to get up.

Aldi, I love you so much. Do I have to sacrifice my feelings? But, I can't. And if I keep choosing you, what about your fate.

Cring...

My phone rang, I immediately picked up my phone on the table. Kevin called. I was confused as to what to answer later. Because I'm still thinking about what I'm going to say. With an unhinged heart, I immediately picked up the phone.

"Hallo...Viona, can you come now?" ask Kevin.

"Bi. bis can, Mr. Kevin," I replied nervously.

"Well, I live in my room" said Kevin.

Kevin turned off the phone. I stood up and pensively. What should I tell Kevin. I rushed to get ready. Then, I immediately went to Kevin's office. In accordance with my promise, I had to choose one of his offers. Today, it wasn't Aldi who delivered me. I took the ojek from my house to Kevin's office. I don't want Aldi to hear my answer.

It's impossible, it's just a dream? What I do is really torturing my feelings.

Finally arriving in front of Kevin's office, I walked towards the entrance with a trembling body. Then, keep my foot in Kevin's room. As soon as I got to the entrance, I stopped my footsteps.

Yeah, God. Help me!!!!

I am in a dilemma with this choice. May there be a miracle today.

I opened the door slowly, I heard from inside the room there was the sound of Kevin talking to his employees. Then I went into that room. The atmosphere is so gripping.

"Come in!!" kevin's orders.

"Baa. good sir," I replied nervously.

"Please, you sit here first" said Kevin. "Are you ready for your answer?"

I shook my head.

"Why not?" ask Kevin. "Didn't you love Aldi?" please choose her, Viona!"

"I won't let Aldi lose his job, Mr. Kevin. Anyway, don't fire him. I am ready to work here and will stay away from Aldi" I replied, holding back tears from falling on my cheeks.

Kevin just looked at me from the beginning of getting into this room, I just looked down. Right now, I can only give up. I'm willing to sacrifice feelings, as long as Aldi can keep working here. And I can continue my studies. I tried to smile in front of Kevin, but I couldn't. How many times I repeat, still can't.

My current feeling is a dilemma, I love Aldi, but Aldi needs this job more, for the future of his brothers and sisters.

Crystals are fertilized in these eyes, so as not to fall on the cheek. But what is power. This sense of dilemma rendered me helpless to endure it. Kevin was still focused on looking at my agitated attitude. I keep my head down, don't want to look him in the eye.

Hopefully with this decision, Aldi is not disappointed. Everything I do for her and her family.

"Didn't I hear wrong, Mr Kevin?" I spontaneously stood up.

"No!! nothing is wrong. You are a sincere, humble and intelligent girl" Kevin said. "I don't want to fire Aldi, because he's doing well in this company".

"Sir Kevin, thank you very much. Already allowed Aldi to stay here," I said while shedding tears.

I immediately greeted Kevin and rushed home on the ojek. I was so happy, Kevin changed his mind. How not I was happy, I was accepted for work, and Aldi was not fired by his manager either.

Arriving home, I immediately called Aldi to come to the house. I did not tell him this good news. I walked towards the porch. While waiting for Aldi to come, I played my phone. After waiting for Aldi for almost 30 minutes, Aldi finally came. His face was so anxious and his hands were cold like ice cubes. Aldi doesn't know what decision I've made.

"Why do you look so worried, baby?" my many. " There's good news you need to hear".

"Look baby, what are your options? Does Kevin still accept you to work there?" aldi asked with a sad face.

"Honey, you know, I've answered Mr. Kevin's offer, baby," I said with a smile.

"You didn't pick that job, did you, honey?" ask Aldi. "Why are you smiling? Like I just got a raffle."

"Darling, you didn't get fired. Even Kevin accepted me to work there, too" I replied.

"Seriously dear?" ask Aldi with enthusiasm.

I nodded my head.

Aldi's previously anxious face, now turned cheerful. Aldi smiled at me, then I returned his smile.

I also told the incident that I had just experienced to Aldi. How can Kevin melt down, and give me and Aldi a chance. Kevin knows that I sincerely accept Aldi. Until Kevin still accepted Aldi working there, and forgot the offer he gave me. Did not feel the clock has set at 17:00 WIB, Aldi was excused to go home. After Aldi came home, I immediately rushed to take a bath.

Next day.

Cring.. kring.

The sound of birds chirping also helped wake me up. I turned off the alarm, then looked at the clock on my phone. At 06:00 WIB, I got up from my bed. Then I prepared my work clothes.

Today is my first day of work. I was so happy that I was finally able to continue my studies. I rushed to get ready - ready to go. I went to the terrace while waiting for Aldi to pick me up. Shortly thereafter, Aldi arrived.

"I finally got a job and I could go to college again, baby," I said.

"Yuk, we're leaving. We meet often, baby," said Aldi.

"I can see you, if anything, Gina. Hayooo.." I said with a joke.

"Yes, no, baby. I promise the same to myself. Will not repeat the mistake again" Aldi replied with a smile.

Aldi and I headed to the office. Arriving at the parking lot, Aldi headed to the field, while I had to go to the office to help Kevin.
