PoV Nilam
"Wait a minute Aldi."
Mr. Erfandi made Aldi stop his steps when he wanted to leave the dining room to immediately leave for the office. But I don't really care about that. I continued to enjoy my breakfast quietly.
"What's wrong?" Said Aldi in a cold voice and that was what I expected of him.
He had always been cold since he had returned from his trip for 3 years ago. His gaze was so revealing a cold aura just like his heart that there was no more warmth, but only a large chunk of ice.
"You and Nilam have the same goal. So I want you to give him a ride."
"What??"
I almost spouted the coffee I was drinking in my mouth. I didn't spit it out, but I almost choked to death.
"Nilam what's wrong? Are you all right?"
I kept coughing and Aldi filled a glass with water and gave it to me and helped me drink it.
"Are you okay now?" Aldi asked me and I felt a little bit that he really cared about me.
Maybe it was just my guess and also my hope because his attention only lasted a few seconds and then he suddenly turned cold to me again.
"Since you're okay, then I'll leave now." Said Aldi as he pulled his hand away from me and turned around.
"Wait a minute Aldi. Don't you feel like you're forgetting something?" Said Mr. Erfandi again.
"If you're talking about your wife, then don't involve me. If you care so much about his safety, why don't you give him a ride yourself or maybe give him the whole company and...."
"Enough Aldi...!!! You can talk to other people as you please, but remember that I'm still your Papa."
Mr. Erfandi shouted to Aldi and right then and there, I felt very uncomfortable. Everything looks as if I am the cause of the problems experienced by a Papa and the relationship with his son becomes bad. Not only that, but I'm actually involved with them. But I do not want to be a problem of the declining health of Mr. Erfandi who is indeed being unstable. So I held Mr. Erfandi's hand, like a daughter to him who wanted to try to appease his Papa because I did consider Mr. Erfandi just my Papa.
"It's okay, Mr. Erfan. Aldi didn't have to give me a ride. I can take a cab later." My words to Mr. Erfandi.
"Nilam, I won't let you do that. You should let Aldi give you a ride or I'll take you to the company myself." Said Mr. Erfandi.
"No, no, no... It doesn't need Mr. Erfan." I waved my hand because I disagreed.
It is very difficult to imagine that Mr. Erfandi would want to drive a car to drive me by himself. After all, even if I use a driver, I will not want to be escorted to the company by using a luxury car. What would other employees say if they saw that? Maybe they will think that I have a sugar daddy or I am someone who is called a mistress.
"Aldi you..."
Mr. Erfandi was about to speak, but Aldi interrupted him.
"I'm too late. So I don't have the time or energy to argue with you."
"Gee!" I still can't believe why Aldi suddenly gave up.
'Is he really...'
"Stop daydreaming, I don't want to be late because of you." Said Aldi and looked towards me then stepped closer towards me.
"Well..." I said because he pulled me roughly out of the house.
He walked so fast that I almost fell. Fortunately I was able to stand up straight.
"Get in the car. Don't expect that I'll be a good man and open the door for you. It's enough and I have to drive a car to drive you." Said Aldi greedily.
"Huh, you narcissistic." I said as I got into the car and tried to put on the seat belt.
"What did you just say?" Said Aldi in a cold voice.
"Is what I say important to you?" My speech.
Aldi fell silent and his jaw seemed to harden as he looked at me. But then he gave up and started to turn on the engine and drive his car.
Along the way, everything was quiet with none of us bothering each other with any words. Aldi was really focused on driving the car and I leaned back to see the other cars passing us at high speed through the car window. Then I suddenly awakened in my daydream as I realized that we were almost at our destination.
"Stop the car Aldi. Stop the car now...!!" My speech.
Aldi quickly stepped on the brake pedal and the car stopped suddenly after I asked for it.
"What's up now?" Ask Aldi.
"I'll get down here." I said and unhesitatingly opened the seat belt I was using and tried to get out of the car, but Aldi pulled me.
"What are you doing? We haven't even reached the office." Aldi.
"Of course I know. I'm not stupid okay." My speech.
"....."
Aldi can't say anything.
"You didn't expect that I'd get out of the CEO's car on my first day at work, did you? People will definitely make rumors about me." I said to Aldi and tried to get out of the car, but he pulled me back.
"Hah, it seems that Nilam Yuniarta Widuri still has some shame. But what a pity that you have no shame before crawling up my Papa's bed." Aldi.
My eyebrows creased and I threw Aldi's hand out of my hand.
"I'm immune enough to those words from you. But I don't want to be bothered by you anymore." My speech.
"What did you say?" Said Aldi furiously pulling me again.
But I quickly pushed him away from me.
"Let go of me, you hurt me and what I mean is that you shouldn't have said much to someone who doesn't know anything."
My words may have awakened Aldi. But I don't know how she feels because I've walked out of her car and hailed a taxi that would take me to the company.
On the first day of work, I knew that things would be difficult and I would probably try my best to adapt. But my mind was completely sidetracked for Leon who was home. I also work very hard.
"Okay Nilam, this is your room. You already know where to find me. So if you have any questions or problems..."
"Thank you director." I immediately replied to the director and he left.
My coworkers started looking at me every minute. Actually I feel that I'm not doing anything or doing anything wrong. But it still feels so awkward to me. I also don't think that there's a problem with the clothes I'm wearing. I don't wear too much clothes. I just wore a casual pink dress with a white belt around my waist.
I sighed and thought that today would be a lot longer than I expected and I would start to miss Leon.
A little while after that, lunch time came, and like the other employees I went to the cafeteria and ordered a little food because I was actually not very hungry. I then bring my food to sit where I choose a place that is not too crowded by others because, because, and of course I don't want to see the curious gazes of their eyes keep looking at me.
"I still think who this really is? Of course this is Nilam Yuniarta Widuri."
I woke up from my daydream with a voice that sounded so familiar in my ears and eyes that seemed to widen with such a sense of surprise, as I looked at the person in front of me.
"Have not seen Nilam for a long time."
"That's you...."
"...."
Seriate....
