My Boss, Is My Husband
Friend Story

"Why did you just leave?" Myesa Protest. Then he sat down next to Rey.

Rey shifted to put some distance between them. That attitude, it made Myesa frown.

"Why? What's the matter?" Myesa asks Rey for an explanation for her slightly strange attitude.

"Mye, there's something I want to tell you." Imbuh Rey, it looks like she is ready to tell what really happened to Myesa.

Myesa's tears immediately fell in her eyes. That is indeed his mainstay. Myesa just kept quiet, without asking 'What?' I guess he could guess what Rey would say.

"Actually on our wedding day"

"Enough, Rey." Sela Myesa fast. "I know everything!" Myesa.

The statement surprised Rey. "You know? So all this time?" Rey looked confused.

"Yes, I know you made Hanna my successor back then. And I get it, I'm not going to take the trouble. I admit it was also because of a mistake I made." Myesa said, holding Rey's hand.

Rey chuckles in disbelief. "So you've been playing in front of me all this time?" Ask Rey.

"As you and Hanna did!" Answer Myesa quickly.

Rey, look at Netra Myesa.

"Didn't you tell me to wait, and promise me to persuade Papa and your Mama. To finally get back to accepting me. I'm waiting for that, I'm following your wishes, Rey!" Myesa continued complete with her stuffing. "I know, your relationship is only temporary, I'm sure you'll eventually be mine completely instead of." Myesa is getting bigger.

"I'm sorry!" Rey said with a meaningful look.

Myesa shook her head quickly. "No! Don't say that word Rey!" As if I understood the meaning of that word. That the apology implies something painful.

"Hanna's pregnant with my son, Mye." Said Rey while looking down.

Myesa gaped in disbelief. "What did you say?" Ask Myesa to make sure.

"Our relationship is completely hopeless." Continue Rey.

"No! Unless you want to see me die in front of you." Emphasisfully. Myesa always made it up to threaten Rey.

"Mye, don't be silly! Are you crazy? You can find a better man than me, Mye." Rey. Looks like he just believes the girl's bullshit.

"Not if you're not the one. I just want to live with you, Rey. Then what does it mean to live if I can't have you." Myesa.

At the same time, Hanna arrives in front of Rey's office. He paused his intention to enter when faintly a conversational voice sounded from within.

"Then, how can you be sure it's your son?" Ask Myesa at last.

Rey turned her eyes towards Myesa. "I was very conscious while doing it, and Hanna was also still a nurse back then!"

"It could be that he did it with another man after that too!" Myesa begins to instigate and destabilize Rey. "The girl lives alone out there, Rey, you never know who she's doing out there. It was possible that he was depressed after the incident that night and handed his body over to anyone in the end. You remember, the night we double date alone she was very intimate with Raffael." Added Myesa, as if not satisfied if it has not made Rey really shaky.

Rey speaks a thousand languages. As if he was out of words. Or maybe he also thought that what Myesa said was true.

Outside the room, Hanna was still waiting for what answer Rey would give. What did he think of what Myesa said. With feelings that started to rumble, Hanna was really impatient. As if he wanted to go in and confront the two of them, he asked Rey directly, does he agree with Myesa?

"Hanna, what are you doing?" Ask Ms. Mirna, who came because there was a dossier to be signed by Rey.

Hanna looked at him quickly. "Nothing." Afterwards, he walked away from Rey's office door and returned to his desk nervously.

"This is a file that must be signed by Mr. President." While handing over some files to Hanna.

"Do you need it right now?" Ask Hanna carefully.

"Is he busy?" Miss Mirna asked back.

Miss Mirna nodded in understanding. "All right, I leave it to you. I need these files tomorrow afternoon." Said Ms. Mirna, stressing,

"Well, will I put it on your desk tomorrow morning." Hanna Imbuh.

"It doesn't need to be like that, just call if it's signed. I'll take it myself. Your position is higher than mine now." Said Miss Mirna, with a slight smile on her lips.

Make Hanna back to make sure her eyesight. Whether he saw it wrong or not. Because all this time, Hanna had never seen that woman smile even once. His face was always flat.

Hanna nodded slowly. "All right." Hanna finally said.

Miss Mirna went back from there. While Hanna, sitting limp in her chair. Thinking back to the conversation between Rey and Myesa. He wondered what Rey's answer was.

Hanna chose to leave her desk for a moment. Because it would feel really awkward if they went out and found Hanna there.

It's better for Hanna to pretend not to know.

"Dora.." Call Hanna with her blank look.

"Eum.." Replied Lora who was now sitting next to Hanna while gulping her coffee latte.

"This is a story about my friend." Hanna Imbuh.

Lora looked over. "You have friends besides me?" Ask Lora seriously.

"Of course you have!" Answer Hanna quickly.

"Hemm okay.. Then?" Lora asks for the continuation of Hanna's story.

"Because of one thing, she married someone. Without love, and because of necessity. But as time went on, she felt more and more comfortable and felt that something was different with her feelings."

"Then?" Lora is increasingly listening to Hanna's story.

"Then.. He realized, his feelings couldn't possibly be expressed." Hanna continued, with a still blank gaze looking at the coffe latte in her hand.

"Why?" Ask Lora curiously.

"Because the man has a lover."

"Yourfts.." Lora sighed, then took another sip of her coffee latten. "Then tell your friend to let it go. A man who has a lover can only hurt in the end. It can never truly be ours." Lora.

"Tap her pregnant-"

"You pregnant?" Sela Lora was quick with her surprised expression.

"This is my friend's story, not mine!" Hanna asserted quickly.

Lora, look at Hanna sharply. It seems he just doesn't believe. He was not a child who could be lied to by such a story.

"So that's really a story about your friend?" Lora ensure.

"Of course!" Hanna answered without daring to look Lora in the eye.

"All right.." Lora nodded her head. Then back to justifying his sitting position. "So she got pregnant with that guy?" Lora continued her question.

"Empp.. What do you think he should do?" Hanna asked Lora for her opinion.
