Between Two Hearts
Fear

Jiho sees his wife alone in the parking lot. He immediately hugged her.

"I'm sorry Aa, I'm late again" he said later.

"Yes, A..."

"You're okay, right? No one hurt you?" jiho asked again, he was very worried about his wife.

Tiara smiled. "I'm okay, A."

"Yes, let's go home. It's late at night," he asked.

Tiara rode on her motorbike and clenched her husband's body tightly.

They do not realize that their journey is followed by someone.

***

The following days, Tiara always got a surprise in her locker. A flower and romantic writings.

Happy work, baby

I love you

Me you...

Keep the work spirit, baby...

I need you

I miss so much

Hope you like it

I'm your adore...

And other words. At first Tiara did like it, because she thought it was her suaminya who gave the surprise all of it.

***

"Jiho, tomorrow you and Tiara leave an hour early huh.." the boss ordered that night, just before they came home.

"What's wrong, boss?" jiho asked curiously.

"I have a duty for you. Go early" he said again.

"Okay, boss." replied Jiho.

***

That day, as usual, she went to work with her husband. But this time they left earlier than usual. An hour early, because that's the boss's order. Arriving at the cafe, there was already a Boss there.

"This is your list of tasks outside, search until you can. I want you to get everything listed here. And I'll definitely add your incentive" the boss ordered without asking for approval. He thought all his orders should be executed immediately.

Jiho received the sheet of paper, there were many lists written there. Jiho felt astonished, it was not usual for the boss to behave like that. Different than usual.

'Is there a specific meaning? Or just a coincidence?' inner Jiho wondered.

But soon he brushed off those negative thoughts. He doesn't want his wife to worry.

"Honey, Aa get out first. Soon Aa will be back. Take good care of yourself here... I love you," said Jiho still as usual, considerate and romantic.

Tiara nodded and smiled. "Be careful on the road, A..."

"Yes dear.." Jiho said back.

Tiara headed for her locker, she again found a surprise. But this time it's a little different. In addition to the flowers and romantic writing, there is also a ring box there. He suspected it was not the husband who had all the surprises. He still thinks hard. Who actually sends this every day in his locker?

"Where do you like it?" ask someone to surprise him.

'No, that's not my husband's voice' Tiara said to herself. His heart beats faster. He's feeling scared.

He looked at the source of the voice. Someone stood up, leaning on the door of the women's locker room. Tiara was very surprised because that person was her boss.

"Bo-boss.." replied Tiara nervously as she lowered her head. I don't know if even now his boss is being gentle with him, but he still feels scared.

The man called the boss smiled.

"Where? Do you like the gift?" ask Boss Endra again.

Tiara remained silent. His mind was still raging, why could it? His boss gave such surprises? Wh-wh-what for? Does the boss like it? Did she know she was married?

"Sorry boss, I can't accept any of this." Tiara cut off her talk and gave the ring box, flowers and romantic writings she had collected together.

"Why?"

"Do you know that I have a husband?" Tiara ventured, she felt like she wanted to get angry but as much as possible not to vent it.

"Know darling... Separate with your husband. And come to me. I'll give you more than your husband has." Endra Boss, he's starting to bring out his haughty nature again.

"No."

"Why? I'll give it all to you, money? A treasure? The diamonds? You want to do all the shopping? I can give it to him. Whatever you want, I'll give it my all."

"No."

"Didn't women really like it all, my dear?" revealed boss Endra he started approaching Tiara.

"No. Sorry boss, I don't need any of that."

"Well, that's naive.... All the women I met were like that, materialistic."

"I'm not one of them."

"Interesting, that's what I like about you..."

"Sorry boss, I'm sorry.." said Tiara, he passed away leaving his boss.

But with a swift hand Tiara was pulled by the man, until he fell in his arms. Tiara tried to break away, but the man's embrace was too strong.

"Why don't you want to be with me, baby? I have more than your husband has" whispered Endra in Tiara's ear.

Tiara shuddered in horror, her body starting to tremble. But the hold was getting stronger, until Tiara felt tight to breathe.

"Please let go of me, boss." said Tiara as she tried to break away, her tears already dripping.

"Don't move, you make me more passionate" said the haughty boss.

Tiara cried tears unbearable, she could only pray for His protection.

"Why don't you want to be with me? I'll give you everything. What don't I have, huh? Why are you rejecting me."

"Boss, to-please let go of me." said Tiara again in a pleading tone.

"Take me, baby... Why are you rejecting me? What did Jiho give you?"

"Full love and loyalty. He's very gentle with me, unlike you boss... Please let me go!" sahut Tiara again.

It made Endra a little stunned and stretched his hold. Tiara ran forward. He's very scared. He'd love to go home. He was still running until he hit someone.

"Ouch... Tiara, what the fuck are you?" tukas Rania's. Tiara was relieved now that the other employees had started arriving. For a while he felt safe. The boss won't do anything to him, will he?

"Hey, why are you running away scared like that?" ask Rania again.

Tiara shook her head. She's still crying. It makes Rania a little pity. He brought water for her.

"Now, drink first so you can calm down." said Rania while thrusting a glass filled with water.

"Thank you mba" said Tiara.

"What's really going on? Have you seen a ghost? Why is that fear?" ask again.

Tiara shook her head again. He took a deep breath.

"You're alone in the cafe? Where's jiho?" ask again. Rania's tone is now more friendly. She stopped not bothering Jiho anymore. I don't know, he's starting to realize he's not in their midst. Because he saw them loving each other sincerely.

"A Jiho's got a job outside. We were told to arrive early," Tiara replied after being able to normalize her breathing.

"So you were left here with the boss?" ask Rania again.

Tiara nodded.

"Don't-don't boss..." Rania did not continue her words. Tiara became very tense back.

"Must be the boss bothering you, huh?" rania asked whispering in Tiara's ear.

Tiara's eyes are rounded. How could he know?

"Be careful with the boss, he's a playboy, the basket-eye." whispered Rania again.

The heart of Tiara beats even faster. The thunder in him got bigger. He wanted to vent his anger, but he couldn't.
