Andika Mantofany, a man who was previously known to be geeky and allergic to fragrances, is now smoking cigarettes with his leisure. Without wearing a mask and thick glasses, he sat leaning back while lifting one leg. His head nodded slowly, as if he was enjoying the music. It makes sense because there are earphones in his ears.
Mauren was astonished because Andika's current expression was not like that of a geeky man, his prestige and charisma emanated clearly even though his face did not look perfect. Andika's position turned to the side and her slightly long hair fell around her face, so that Mauren could not freely look at her.
In addition to being surprised because of his aura that changed drastically, Mauren was also surprised by his actions that smoked delights, as if he was used to doing it. According to Andika's previous confession, she felt dizzy when smelling fragrances, that's why she always wore a mask. In fact, when eating even Andika used to be alone in the kitchen canteen, to avoid room fragrances and people who use parfumes.
From there Mauren drew the conclusion that Andika had hyperosmia. Hyperosmia itself is common in patients with autoimmune diseases— diseases that occur where the immune system attacks healthy cells— diseases that are very anti with cigarettes.
"Although he did not suffer from the disease, but should know that cigarettes are not good for his health that is easily allergic. If it forces consuming, then it can be fatal. For the day he brought a doctor's certificate, meaning he already knows the condition of his body at this time. But ... how now he smokes, where kayak enjoys it, like it's so familiar," Mauren's mind.
Not wanting to linger in his curiosity, Mauren again stepped up and approached Andika who was still focused on her activities.
"Andika!" Mauren called out while patting Andika on the shoulder.
The man was surprised. His eyes widened when he found that Mauren was already standing nearby. Nervous and misbehaved, Andika threw a cigarette into the ashtray, also took off the earphones that either played what music. Then, Andika got up and put on her sweetest smile.
"Mrs Mauren. Are you going home, Mom?" ask Andika.
"Why is it still here? And what did you just do?" Mauren stared intensely, but only for a moment as Andika quickly lowered her head.
"I'm waiting for Mauren, if only I still needed my help. I was a little sleepy, so I sat down and listened to music. I'm sorry, I didn't know that Mauren was here" Andika replied slightly deviating from the question.
"What I'm having trouble with is not being aware of you with my presence, but something you did just now. You smoking?" Mauren still did not take her eyes off and Andika was still faithfully staring at the floor.
"Just to reduce fatigue, ma'am. It just so happens today is pretty exhausting."
"Is that so? But what about your allergies? I know the person whose kiss is sensitive is a person who has hyperosmia, and it is prohibited to smoke. But, just now you enjoyed it a lot, as if you were used to it. And again, the room here is full of fragrances, but you are very relaxed opening the mask. So, you've been lying or what?" Mauren spoke quickly and made Andika more down.
"I smoke only sometimes, Mom. This ... has been a week also just this time smoking, because it happens that today is quite tired and tired. I had to remove the mask, Mom. This ... it feels a bit dizzy. I'm .. permission to wear masks again, ma'am." Without lifting her face, Andika leaned over and picked up the mask and glasses that had been placed on the chair.
"Stop!" mauren's orders.
"Why, Mom?" Andika asked without looking.
"Stand up and look at me!" mauren said firmly.
"Why, Mom?" Andika is getting nervous.
He stood up and was about to wear a mask, but his movements were immediately stopped by Mauren. Andika had gulped when the palm of Mauren grasped his arm, it felt soft and warm.
"I don't like being lied to!"
"Don't duck and answer again! Why do you smoke and casually open the mask?" mauren asked, very firm and complete with a sharp gaze.
"I just let go of the fatigue, Mom, really. I'm not lying. This ... it also feels uncomfortable, dizzy and sick, Mom." Andika only glanced at a glance, the rest just looked down and threw a sideways glance.
"I never tolerate lies. If your speech this time proved to be false, then do not blame me if later take action for your actions. No matter who you are and what your purpose is, it is clear here that I am in power. I can fire you anytime, keep that!"
Mauren's words that sounded harsh and firm tickled Andika's feelings. Without a second thought, he looked up and looked at Mauren. He smiled sweetly before answering Mauren's words.
"As long as I'm not harming you, you won't fire me, because I know you're a professional. Mauren ma'am, I'm not lying. Everything I said was honest" Andika said without fading a smile.
Mauren was misbehaved, suddenly his heart pounded when he saw the smile of Andika, whose sweetness was above average and beyond the charm of Jeevan. Even in a glance, Andika's aura returned authoritative and charismatic. In fact, a few seconds ago still put on a plain look. Andika is like a professional actor who has been reliable in terms of acting.
"Are they honest or not? Why can't I read his eyes at all" Mauren said. Because of being too focused with Andika's eyes, Mauren until unconscious if his hand is still holding Andika's hand.
A few seconds passed, the two of them still staring. Andika no intention to turn, it seems she really enjoyed the moment. While Mauren, he insisted on diving into Andika's eyes to find answers to his attitude—honest or lying.
Instead of getting an answer, Mauren blushed in embarrassment. A few seconds of collisions made him realize that Andika's face was very handsome. In addition to white and well-groomed skin, Andika also has a sharp nose and sensual lips. His eyebrows were thick and his eyes were alluring black. Mauren was almost fascinated by it.
"Mom Mauren, may I wear a mask?" Andika asked while holding Mauren's hand which was still in her hand. Andika intends to take off the grip, but deliberately do it slowly.
"Just wear it!" Mauren replied quickly as she withdrew her hand. He also turned to the side and avoided Andika's gaze.
Before Andika could respond, Mauren had already turned around and prepared to leave. However, just two steps he walked, Andika called back.
"What else? I want to go home!" mauren answered in a high tone.
Andika approached Mauren while holding her head.
"What else?" snapped Mauren.
"Bu, I .. i___"
The next second, Andika's body limp and collapsed forward, right in the direction of Mauren.
"Hey! Oi! Don't do this! What the hell are you doing? Your body is heavy!" Mauren screamed in panic. Andika did not respond. The man was unconscious in Mauren's arms.
