Merlinda (Ranging Back)
You Look So Messy

Elin gasped when she saw the small clock on the nightstand was showing at half 8 am, she no longer had time to go home and leave for the office because the time was so narrow.

" Do I ask permission not to go to work today "he murmured doubtfully, "there is no other choice and hopefully Ms. Laurent will be kind to me " he continued and immediately looked for his flat object that was still lying quietly on the nightstand .

" It turns out that I have not re-activated it "his murmur when he found his phone in an off state, Elin's eyes were stunned when he saw the history notification on the screen of the phone that had just turned on , 398 Calls trying to get in and hundreds of messages crunching into his chatt app.

He was still stunned staring at all the incoming messages, especially at the name of the contact who was at the top of the message row, "what they were looking for me "he muttered looking at me, looking at me, but his eyes rounded again when he saw the time is getting late , he quickly look for Laurent contact in his phone.

He was so anxious waiting for a phone call to Laurent to be answered because he felt so unsure of himself, just how many days entered work but he had courageously asked permission not to enter , but he was forced to do so because it was too late and he was sure Meili would definitely look for him in the office .

" Hello" replied Laurent from across the phone .

" Hello Ms. Laurent, this is Elin "

" Yes Miss, what are you calling me now ? "

" I'm sorry for being so presumptuous and sudden to tell you .. emm "he said so hesitantly to convey his point, "say Miss , you confuse me and emm.Where are you now ? " ask Laurent because she should be in the office.

" I'm sorry Ms. Laurent, it looks like today I can't get in.... "

" Are you sick ? " ask Laurent quickly.

" emm yes, I'm a little unwell "he said lying even though the real situation is not good just fine, "Yes rest , I'll tell your friend later " laurent is so relaxed.

" So you gave me permission ? " he asked in disbelief, "yes, indeed I have to force you to stay in" said Laurent who sounded laughing.

" Thank you Miss" said Elin, feeling a little guilty for lying to her.

" Yes, take a break, miss and get well soon" said Laurent making Elin feel more guilty, "thank you again "say her, then hang up the phone call to Laurent .

" He was so sad, when I couldn't possibly not give him permission "wailed Laurent, smiling, and then moved from his seat to Elin's office.

" Good morning" said Laurent who made everyone in the room a little surprised because the presence arrived from her, "Morning Ms. Laurent "a nervous reply Bimbim.

" I just came to tell you that Miss Merlinda didn't come in today" said Laurent, "what happened to her Miss ? " tanya Kasih was so worried and everyone who looked seriously including David.

" He's not feeling well and I can't possibly force him to keep coming " said Laurent who gave a little explanation for the permission he had given to Elin , considering that the woman had just joined the company.

" He's sick ? " save Bimo.

" How is Miss ? " typal Kasih.

" Be calm he just needs a break" Laurent smiled.

" What after coming home from here we see him "to invite Frans the person who most rarely comments, but considering the woman is so good 'he becomes unable to hide his worries , "I think it's a good idea Frans "so you agree.

" Eemm.Let him rest for today, you can visit him tomorrow if he still hasn't returned to work" Laurent suggested, "Yes, Ms. Laurent was right , we better let him rest today, because after work I have to leave immediately "said David made everyone throw a view except Laurent who did not understand the situation in the room.

" You're so excited David" Bimbim teased him.

" I was so afraid that Sharen had disturbed Elin "slowly said Love but still heard in Laurent's ear who just wanted to move, but became void and turned back around his body , " Sharen, what's up with him and Elin ? " he asked with both eyebrows slightly interlocked.

" No Miss , there is only a misunderstanding "clear Love who does not want the problem to be runyam and curses her mouth that has been mispronounced.

Drrrtt drrrttt "the voice of the mobile phone in Laurent's hand rang, making the woman stop her intention to return to talk and quickly answer the incoming phone call by the name of Young Miss M. inside her phone screen, "Yes Miss "anshe replied as she immediately moved from before everyone.

" Where are you Laurent ? " ask Meili from across the phone.

" emm.yeah, what Elin .. "meili word hangs.

" You don't have to worry miss , I've given her permission "cut Laurent .

" Give permission ? " repeated Meili who sounded so surprised, "does he call you ? " ask again.

" Yes Miss , just a few minutes ago she called me and told me that today she can't work" Laurent explained, "not working ? " release Meili .

" Do you not know Miss , I suppose you contact me because it's "

" Explain to me Laurent ? "

" He just said he wasn't feeling well "

" Did he tell you where he was ? " ask Meili impatiently.

" No Miss "

" Alright , call me immediately if he gets back to you "

" Good Miss " replied Laurent in confusion, he was so hesitant to ask what really happened , but that is not his business and moreover he will look so meddling in the affairs of others.

" What happened to Meili ? " ask Daniel closer, "He just called Laurent "clearly Meili slowly, "then ? "

" He only asked permission not to work today "

" Gosh you have to call him now Daniel , which means he has re-activated his phone "Meili continued quickly and did not wait for Daniel who seemed so chaotic immediately took his flat object .

" Shiit "suddenly.

" What's up, Daniel ? "

" His phone is back inactive "clearly but still trying to contact the woman, "you can see the GPS'nya "communicate Meili .

" He did not activate it" said Daniel sighs, Meili's eyes stunned to see his brother who looks so chaotic and frustrating, although he blames Daniel completely , but seeing the condition of Daniel who was concerned enough to make him sad.

" Go home Daniel, you look so messed up" he said, but the man ignored him, even he kept looking busy with a flat object in his hand , no matter who is being contacted but he continues to shout every time he talks on his phone.

" Daniel calm yourself down" said Meili.

" How can I calm Meili down, until now she has not returned and we have not found where she is "

" But at least we know he's doing well, which means we're not missing all the news from him "

" But still it can't calm me down Meili " cried Daniel who can no longer control his emotions.

" Now you know how important he is to you" said Meili, leaving Daniel completely speechless.

" Even I have never seen you this confused" he continued with a feeling so sad looking at his only brother who was far from such a dashing word as his nickname , what is seen now is only the face of frustration and despair.
