Several times, Nina looked out the window of her room, peering at the residents of the next room who failed to show the bridge of her nose earlier. Nina saw that the door of Helena's room was still tightly closed, just like a few hours ago.Helena should have been busy in the kitchen, and her voice should have echoed in every room. Either the shrill voice that sings full of self-celebration, whether the sound of complaints due to splashing oil or the like.It should be like that.However, this morning, Helena did not show any signs of her emergence. It made Nina uneasy, and she wondered what had happened to Helena."Don't tell me that she left early and deliberately didn't bring provisions because she was fasting?" Nina murmured as she drew her eyebrows.Suddenly, Nina's hand, busy drawing eyebrows, stopped in the air. Her eyes looked at her reflection in the makeup mirror."But She never fasts on weekdays, except for the month of Ramadan."Nina looked at herself as if communicating w
Helena POV.Of all the things I hate is seeing a happy little family without me. Even though I'm also part of that family, I've lived with them for a long time, but why is it as if I never existed.I hate being used, but I also want to be loved for no reason. Then why can't I get that?Look at them, laughing happily in front of me, as if I were a pseudo-shadow, regardless of my presence."Helena!"Ah~ that scream again, that scream that fills my eardrums every day. There is no day without such shouts."Are you deaf?"That is a question I hear every day."You should be grateful to be alive. No one wants a child like you! You are worthless, Helena! Nobody loves you!"Ah~ the swearing I hear every day.Everything became a whirling stir in my head, filling everything until it felt like I wanted to vomit.It felt so claustrophobic and suffocating that I asked the sky, " does dying to feel better than this?"A question that I have repeated every day but no one has ever given me an answer to
Helena woke up from sleep when she felt a pat on her arm. The clap passed from hand to Helena’s face several times until she finally woke up disturbed.“We have entered the Lebak area. I do not know which is Alan’s House,” Bastian explained his reason for waking Helena.“I’m sorry, sir. I slept and let you drive alone,” Helena said, feeling guilty.Helena felt very guilty. Bastian has good intentions to deliver it to Banten. She was supposed to accompany the man instead of falling asleep and letting Bastian ride alone.“It’s no problem. I also deliberately didn’t wake you up because you looked so slumbering earlier,” Bastian retorted to assure Helena that he was fine even though the girl had slept a while ago.“Then drink it. I bought it when I stopped at the crossroad.”Bastian held out a bottle of mineral water to Helena. Helena received the water without hesitation, and she then gulped the water until only half was left.“Thank you, sir,” Helena said, putting the water on the car d
After that day, Helena's life went smoothly without any significant hindrance. Although rumors circulated about him and Mr. Sebastian, Helena can get through it quickly.However, what is certain is that Helena always managed to avoid meeting or just passing each other on the street like most drama cliche scenes. Helena hopes that her office life will return to six months ago. Calm down.Helena's activities are getting busy towards the end of the month. Although not as active as at the end of the year. The end of the month was no less severe for the administration team. It becomes free time for financial managers because they will be busy again at the beginning of the month.This imbalance makes Helena and Nina rarely see each other at the beginning or end of the month, but they still take time to have lunch together. Otherwise, they will return to their respective activities.So far, Helena has not heard a story about what happened between Nina and Alan, even though she is already ver
The sizzling sound of the frying pan colored the completely unsettled atmosphere of the morning. There are passing vehicles that sound loud but not disturbing enough."You are being got up early!" Someone greeted Helena who was re-frying the chicken bought by Alan last night, to make it warmer and better to eat later in the day."it's nothing," Helena replied indifferently. "I almost forgot, the chicken breast is yours, Alan bought it," said Helena while rubbing her eyes.Nina nodded while watching the sleepy Helena. Then look at the trash can where there are burnt fried eggs. Then turned her eyes to Helena who took the chicken out of the pan to replace it with sausage. Helena has been silent since the last sentence she said. Which is not natural for her.It was very strange to see an extrovert person suddenly turn into silence and not much behavior like Helena was doing at this time. To be honest, Nina was very uncomfortable seeing that."If you are sleepy then go to sleep, there is
"Come on wake up!" Someone just shook Helena's sleeping body in her cubicle of work.Feeling disturbed, Helena opened her eyes and then turned to the voice's origin. She found a middle-aged woman standing nearby. It was Nora, her teammate."You're being come too fast? Did you leave with Alan?" asked Nora as their eyes met."Yes, we are." Helena replied as she stretched her spine."No wonder. Go wash your face!" Helena nodded at Nora's command.Helena immediately headed for the toilet as Nora said to make herself fresh again. Fortunately, this morning she did not wear makeup except lip tint.After washing her face with faucet water, Helena looked at her reflection in the mirror, and then in memory of last night's events flashed in her mind.At first, there was nothing special, until Helena fell right when she got out of the car. Helena's legs feel weak, perhaps the effect of waking up that only lasts for a few minutes. Bastian then put Helena on the back, carried her to the room's door
Nina turned around to see Helena, but something disturbed her. A man stood with his head down by the door."Nina!" said the man as Nina approached him."Alan? What's the matter? Are you looking for Helena?" Nina confronted Alan with a question.Alan flashed his smile, then suddenly gasped. "No, I'm not looking for that bad girl, but I'm looking for you," Alan said."Is there anything you want to talk about? Is it so important and urgent?" asked Nina."I think it's important, but it's not urgent," Alan replied to each of his words in a soft and loving voice."Then what if we talk later in the afternoon after work? Right now I have business, it's about Helena. She can get angry if I'm gone too long," Nina said, commenting on her friendly smile."Okay, let's talk at the 'O2 Cafe' after work," Alan said, accepting Nina's offer earlier.When Nina said that Helena was waiting for this girl in front of her, Alan relented. After all, his business was not so urgent. He didn't want to hear the
Helena hurries to leave right after she says goodbye to Delima, but it seems that misfortune is approaching Helena. At the same time, Sonia was seen coming out of the Department room with a folder in hand.'Shit! Damn it!' Helena's inner curse.She intends to go home early today to rest before, and tomorrow, she can work better and be in great shape. But how else, it seems that the plan will not be able to go smoothly."Oh, look, there's a golden girl from the personnel department here. Where are your guards?" Sonia asked while ruffling her waist and sounded insulting.Helena ignored the woman and then stepped into the elevator without caring about Sonia, who was insulting her."Damn, I'm talking to you!" Sonia was furious and walked after Helena.Helena curses the elevator on the First floor and will not arrive first than Sonia. She had to face the crazy woman."Are you afraid that your bodyguard is not here? What's it like to be a slut swirled by men all over the office, bitch?" Son
