Why Breakup?
Ep.41 - Incident in Elevator

The sudden arrival of Angga was also news of corruption by the man which turned out to be just a trap, enough to make everyone in the office surprised to hear it. Yes, trap. News that circulate so. Hope to worry they all feel, especially those who have spread the ugliness about Angga which is not clear facts when the man is entangled in a case that is not yet clear certainty. The welcome they did to slightly soften the Angga which turned out to be much colder and crueler than before.

“So, who spread the bad news about me?”

Angga came straight to ask such a question. He was not at all flattered at the welcome made by hypocrites according to him. Still vividly remembered in his mind how scornful and blatant hatred everyone gave when the police force took him forcibly that day.

Angga pulled the corner of his lips, smiling sinisterly. “Nobody wants to admit?” Angga looked at everything that was now bowed.

“Judah if that is so. I wait for his resignation letter as soon as possible before my disrespectful dismissal do.” Angga said as he passed with a haughty looking face, instantly his words made some people who were indeed the masterminds of the bad news that circulated was in a fog.

Instead of going to his room, Angga turned to the Mentari workspace. He did not see the woman in the crowd. However, he also did not find the existence of Mentari in the woman's room.

“Monthly do not log in, Mr. Angga.”

Angga turned his head, looking at Ayumi who said so. His forehead shriveled, “Why?” ask Angga.

“She's sick, Ga.”

“Sick?”

Of course, Angga was worried to hear it. Is it because of her actions as well that the woman fell ill? Inner Angga wondered as well as blamed himself.

“Ga, sorry if this seems rude or presumptuous.” Ayumi had to say this. “Entah lo know or not. But, as long as you get the case and in prison, people start talking ugly about you, but, Tari always believes everything if you're not wrong. Sometimes Dance is also angry with people who blatantly blaspheme lo.”

Of course Angga knew and was sure that what Ayumi said was true.

“Gue knows you and Tari, I know how your relationship used to be even until you broke up.” Ayumi sighed deeply, she thinned her lips. “And I don't know what the problem is because Dance herself never wants to tell you what your problem is. Obviously, he's disappointed and I don't know what I don't know. But you should know, Ga. The dance is sincere lo, he expects nothing from lo.”

“Gue says gini not because I'm his best friend, no, Ga. I said it because it was his reality. And, I think you will be the most bego person if in fact nyia-nyiain a Mentari.”

Yes, Angga is too stupid to waste women like Mentari.

Ayumi smiled widely, she cleared her throat. “That's it, Mr. Angga. I excuse.” Ayumi is formal and polite again, passing Angga to her desk. Leaving Angga who was still pensive thinking about what Ayumi said.

Today, Mentari decided to enter the office when he felt his condition had improved a little more. Although the pain in his body has disappeared, but the pain in his heart is still felt.

Entering the office area, all eyes are on Mentari. And, as usual, he ignored all their gazes. No matter and don't want to bother with it all. Until his steps stopped when he passed with Angga, more precisely when he actually found Angga in front of his room.

Mentari rolled his eyes lazily, he intended to just leave. However, Angga actually held him back and pulled Mentari's arm to come back with the man to enter the elevator.

“Apaan anyway, Ga!” upset Mentari, she is upset and angry when Angga takes her all of a sudden. He clucked as Angga pressed the highest floor number. He threw his face away, unwilling to look at Angga.

“I'm sorry, Tar. I—”

“I don't need to hear any explanation from your lying mouth! I don't want to hear anything!”

“As much as you want to think of me, liar, whatever, whatever. But you have to listen to my explanation. You should know the truth.”

Mentari staring hard at Angga, “Create what? Why do I hear everything?”

“Yes, you have to listen so you don't misunderstand, Tar.” Angga stared fixedly at Mentari, staring at him softly. “I don't want you to be disappointed with me.”

Mentari stared back at Angga, “Whatever explanation you will love, it will not change my perspective on you. And, I will still be disappointed with you.”

Angga tried to reach Mentari's hand, but was pushed aside by the woman.

“I don't need any explanation, Ga! I don't want to hear anything from your mouth! You are a liar, you are a fraud!”

“You know, Ga? I desperately scold you in front of all those who fall down on you, in front of those who constantly insult you, slander you for accusations that are not even clear in fact.” Mentari held back her tears until her lips trembled violently, remembering how humiliation was once shown to her.

“Even I have to restrain myself when people also accuse me that I am the cause of you doing corruption. I was also accused, Ga. I'm mistaken.” Mentari looked down, sobbing softly. His feet slowly stepped back, himself now leaning limp.

“I can what, Ga? Be careful, but still they are still the same as their own beliefs. And, apparently, it's true. I am the cause.”

“Tar,” Angga stepped forward, approached at Mentari but detained the woman. Mentari first raised his hand, asking Angga to stop.

“You can do this lie. You lied to everyone, you made a play, you made this crazy scenario!” mad at Mentari, he sobbed loudly. “Just to prove my sincerity! You've been questioning my love and sincerity all this time, Angga! You know it all.”

The mentari was crying loudly. Slowly sagging, she covered her wet face with tears using her palm still faithfully with her cries.

“You are evil, Ga. You're evil.”

Angga shook his head violently, he gathered in front of Mentari, trying to pull Mentari into his arms. Initially there was rejection, but because Angga was strong enough to embrace Mentari, finally the woman gave up too, letting Angga still embrace her. A hug that has not been felt for a long time.

“I'm sorry, Tar. Sorry me.”

Mentari with a cry of disappointment, Angga with a hug full of regret. Long enough they are in the same position until finally the movement of the elevator that feels different is also the lighting that suddenly disappears to make them aware.

“Ga, this is the elevator why?”

“I also don't know.”

They move quickly, trying to push the elevator button because the elevator movement does not suddenly stop, plus the lighting slowly disappears.

“Ga, this elevator is dead!”

Mentari wiped away the rest of her tears, constantly looking for ways and help for the unexpected situation they were experiencing now. However, all the efforts he did, did not produce results, nil.

Quickly he reached into his bag, pulled out his cell phone to contact someone out there.

“Yu, this elevator suddenly died. Lo please tell me about the maintenance, the hunt to take care of this dead elevator. Where there's no lighting now. Buruan.please call. Here..”.

The mentari clucked. There is no way out but to wait for maintenance to repair this often damaged elevator. He turned around, intending to sit back but instead found Angga who was quietly curled up in the corner of the elevator. Remember about the trauma that Angga had, made Mentari rush to approach the man.

“Ga, hey... quiet, quiet.” Mentari clasped tightly to Angga's hand.

Cold sweat had soaked Angga's body, he shook his head violently as the memories of the past that had always haunted him suddenly flashed back in his mind. The glint of the past was so terrible that it even made Angga hunt great breath now.

“Ga, relax, yes. Look, there's a light right?” Mentari turned on the flashlight from his phone.

Angga shook his head again, further tightening his grip on Mentari's hand. “Tar, please... Don't stay with me. It's so dark in here, Tar, sesek.”

“No, no. It's not dark here, not crowded at all. Come on, Ga, relax. Breathe in, throw out. Breathe in, throw out. Quiet.”

Angga can never be calm if in a situation like this, his breathing is always crowded with cold sweat that begins to envelop him.

“Tar,” Angga whining, pull Mentari to himself hug. Only Mentari is now his strength, only the woman is the reason to survive now.

Mentari did not refuse Angga's embrace because she knew this was what the man now needed. He hugged Angga back, one hand tightly grasped Angga's cold hand, while the other hand gently rubbed the man's back. It was as if nothing had happened to them, as if Mentari would never leave Angga alone.

“Please, don't stay with me. ”
