WHILE LEAVE
After being allowed to go home, Barra decides to fix the fatal mistake that happened to him. For that, Barra immediately contacted Mary to meet and sue Mary for something disgusting that Barra almost experienced.
And of course, after meeting Mary, Barra's attitude was completely different and beyond Mary's expectations.
Mary frowned at Barra's attitude and it made her sit across from Barra awkwardly.
At first, Mary thought that Barra wanted her and regretted leaving her house. But in reality, Barra's face was stiffer and not as friendly as usual.
"Let's get straight to it. I invited you to meet here to warn you. Don't repeat the stupidity you made to me yesterday!" said Barra firmly.
Mary was just stunned and didn't think that Barra had realized her naughty act. However, Mary continued to feign ignorance.
"What did I do to you, Barra? I was just helping you rest at my house because I don't know where your address is!" said Mary evasively with a little sob so that Barra sympathizes with her.
Barra raised an eyebrow, 'Oh, apparently you still want to dodge!' he said to himself.
"Didn't you already know that I live on company property? Honestly, Mary, or you'll regret it later!" said Barra who looked at Mary sharply.
"What have I done, Barra? Did I touch you? No, did I?" Mary asked, weeping.
Slam!
A white folder with the mark of a hospital where Barra was being treated, slammed Barra onto the table in front of them.
Mary was confused why Barra even showed his medical records.
"That is my health report after I was discharged from the hospital this afternoon. I thought I was sick from being overworked, but I'm not. Do you know what brought me to the hospital?" Barra asked Mary with a hideous grin.
"It turns out that I'm not sick from exhaustion but sick from drinking the sex stimulant liquid in the coffee I drink!" continued Barra while emphasizing the word 'sex stimulant' to Mary.
"And have you forgotten my position in the office? You can't avoid my accusations, Mary. Just by checking the CCTV when you brought coffee and telling security to take me to your car, that's solid evidence for me to throw you out of the company!" Barra continued, "Do you still want to pretend you forgot?"
Mary could only be silent with a pale face and gradually lowered her head while covering the tears that started to fall from the corners of her eyes.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you and make you sick. I like you, Barra. I just want you to see me as a woman!" said Mary defending herself with tears in her eyes.
"What am I lacking, Barra? Compared to your fiancé who everyone in the office never knows who she is. I've been waiting for you for more than a year, showing concern for you and hoping you will love me back. But-" before Mary finished her sentence Barra had reacted.
"You have no right to compare yourself to my Gita! So, stop here or I won't hesitate to report you to the company!" said Barra furiously.
Mary froze at Barra's threat. Can't believe who's yelling at her right now. Like the Barra she knew, he was calm and friendly to everyone.
Mary's fear was at its limit. In addition to being afraid of seeing Barra's anger, Mary is also very afraid of her career being destroyed after being expelled from the company.
"I'm sorry, Barra! I admit that I was wrong to frame you. Just so you know, Barra. You're the only man I'm curious about. You are polite and friendly to me. But, even if you never want to be close to me!" Mary regretted it while apologizing.
"I promise you, Barra. I will never do that to you or anyone else! I will also keep my distance from you. So please, don't report me to the company. My career could be ruined, Barra!" Mary asked again which made Barra feel sorry for her.
"Okay! I assume this never happened. So you have to keep your promise. I don't want to see you again except for an important meeting that all managers have to attend! After all, our divisions are different, there's no reason for you to come to my office often!" Barra answered loudly and firmly.
Barra left, leaving Mary still crying. Barra forgives Mary's mistakes easily because he is not vindictive. But, don't try to bother him again after that because no matter how gentle people are, if their calm is disturbed, they will bring out their bad qualities too.
The problem with Mary is over. Barra decided to stop at a shopping center in the city center not far from where he lived.
While walking in the area of the shop selling jewelry, his eyes fell on a young couple who seemed to be picking out a ring. Whether it was an engagement ring or a wedding, Barra didn't know. To be sure, in Barra's mind at this time, he remembered again when Gita and himself exchanged rings on their engagement at that time.
'I miss you, Gita. How long will this longing be paid off? Will my heart be able to withstand the burden of longing that is already mounting?' Barra said in his heart with teary eyes looking at the couple.
'How can I get rid of my longing for her for a moment?'
That's what's in his mind. Before it crossed his mind, why didn't he just apply for leave to go home? And soon it will also be Gita's birthday. It was the right moment to go home and at the same time make a surprise for Gita.
The next day, Barra returned to work overtime because he had not worked for several days. Don't forget Barra visited the HRD department to ask about the proposed leave.
His heart was really happy to hear HRD staff said that he could take annual leave that had not been taken for more than a year working in Malaysia. As a result, Barra was able to return to his hometown for two weeks. It was also decided with a lot of deliberation.
Considerations in the form of Barra's job, which now must still be there to handle during his absence. After searching and finding the right person to replace Barra's job, in the end, he also had to accept the leave he received could not be more than ten days.
But never mind, it's also very enough to go back to his hometown and meet his loved ones.
***
On the school grounds during sports hours. At the moment it looks crowded because Gita's class and the class next to it are holding a basketball game for girls.
On the outskirts of the field, Zaki and Adimas were seen calmly waiting for the inter-class match.
"Who is your winner this time, Zaki?" Adimas asked Zaki.
"Yes, it's clear Gita! What do you need to ask again?" Zaki replied nonchalantly.
"Gita is my choice, you can't follow mine!" Adimas protested.
"So why are you asking me if our choices turn out to be the same?" Zaki muttered annoyed.
"I also choose Gita!" said Sean who suddenly came and sat in the middle of Zaki and Adimas.
"Why are you here too, Senior? You skipped class, huh?!" Adimas asked surprised.
"I'm not skipping class! I just came from the toilet and want to go back to my class. But when I saw Gita on the field, suddenly I was lazy to go back to class!" replied Sean casually.
"You are too brave! What an exemplary senior!" Zaki grumbled to Sean.
"I don't care what you think. I just want to see Gita play. Will Gita win this basketball game?" Sean said to both of them.
"Sports lessons are Gita's favorite, especially basketball. Gita has never lost a game of basketball as long as I have known her!" Adimas said proudly.
"You just know that the Gita is always calm and quiet, right? This time you will see a Gita with a different personality. You will see a very active Gita, Senior!" Zaki added Adimas's sentence.
"Is that true? Hmmm, I guess I can't wait to see a different side of the calm Gita!" Sean answered with a smile.
The sports teacher's whistle sounded signaling that the basketball game had started. This time, Gita became the team leader along with four other friends. Across the ring, the opposing team led by Anne had gathered.
The gym teacher tossed a coin up and caught the coin and a draw took place. Anne's team wins to start the game first.
Anne passed the ball to her closest partner while stepping forward towards the Gita team ring. Anne continued to pass the ball when she saw her partner was free. Anne's team led the game until they were under the Gita team's ring. When the ball was in Anne's hands again, she jumped on tiptoe as she threw the ball into the Gita team's ring and the ball went in.
The first score was scored by Anne's team.
While Gita still looks calm to see the direction of the game Anne and her team. After several times Anne's team scored, Gita began to be able to conclude the right strategy for her team against Anne's team.
