Chapter 17

"Din! Dinda, don't leave me!"

The faintness of the voice entered Dinda's hearing. However, the drowsiness made Dinda trapped lazy to get up.

"Dinda, it hurts!" the man's voice lying beside Dinda was heard shaking with a body that kept screaming.

"Why baby!" replied Dinda lazily. She wrapped her hands around Agus's body lying beside him.

"Baby, are you sick?" Dinda was surprised when her skin touched Agus's skin and it was so hot that it was burning.

"Baby, wake up baby! You dreamed." Dinda changed the position of Agus's curled up body to become supine. Many times Dinda shook Agus's body but the man still kept turning a blind eye.

"Din, Dinda!" Agus said with a wagging body.

The panicked Dinda immediately went to the kitchen and prepared all the utensils to compress Agus's body. Once ready Dinda immediately took the equipment back to her room.

Dinda placed the towel that had been put in the water then squeezed it out and placed it on the forehead of the agus. She massaged slowly Agus's forehead. Dinda carried out this activity repeatedly until Agus's body temperature decreased.

The rays of the sun entered through the reproach of Agus's room. His beam forced a break through the window. It felt warm but it became more and more like it was on fire. Making Dinda who was exposed to the beam had to immediately open her eyes that still felt so sticky. Staying up all night guarding Agus made drowsiness like hypnotizing him.

Dinda fingered the mattress where Agus was lying. But the man was already not by her side. Dinda immediately woke up and looked around.

"Oh my god I'm late!" Dinda was even more surprised when she saw that the clock was already showing 8 o'clock in the morning.

The woman hurried down the bed and immediately got ready to go to work.

[Baby, are you working?]

Dinda wrote a message to Agus then pressed the send button on his phone.

[Yes, dear, I have an important meeting today. I'm sorry I didn't make breakfast for you. Just have breakfast outside!] Agus retorted.

[But baby, you're sick again.]

5 minutes, 10 minutes the message was unrequited. Dinda, who was too late, immediately put her mobile phone in the bag and hurried to go to work.

Agus's face was pale. The man walked back and forth towards his room. Occasionally his gaze fell on some employees who looked at him sarcastically. Not even reluctant among those who looked away when Agus passed by.

"Don't let there be a cursed virus lurking in our office. Isn't that right, Des?" the blonde woman sarcastically said to her friend.

"Of course, I don't want to contract that disease," the woman named Desi retorted. her eyes glanced at Agus who passed in front of him.

"You mean?" replied Agus irritably. Unfortunately right now is not the right time for him to argue. Agus's body, which felt weak, made him eager to fall.

The two women did not answer at all instead they threw a mocking smile at Agus, who chose to continue his footsteps, leaving.

"Hey, sissy! everyone in this office also knows that you do have a cursed disease," said the blonde woman sarcastically to Agus.

made all the employees on the tenth floor cheered insulting Agus who chose to be silent. There was a sense of shame and pain' that radiated into his solar plexus. The man did not expect that the effect of this disease was not only damaging his body but also mentally damaging him.

"Mr. Agus!" shouted a clening serve who walked up to Agus.

"Yes," Agus replied quietly.

"Sir, the superior called you to come to his room," the janitor said to Agus.

"yes, thank you!" replied Agus smiling slightly. Then he walked to the large room in the corner of the tenth floor.

"Excuse me!" said Agus in the open doorway.

"Please come in and sit down, Mr. Agus!" The man sitting on the big chair ordered.

"Fine sir," Agus replied accordingly and immediately sat down.

"First, I would like to express my gratitude for mr. Agus's cooperation so far for the company and I apologize profusely if Mr. Agus's employment contract must be terminated unilaterally. As compensation, we will replace it with severance pay along with your salary for a whole month," said the man pushing a brown envelope towards Agus.

Agus didn't flinch, his brain seemed to be no longer able to digest all the bad realities that came to him.

"Can't it be considered anymore, sir? What did I do wrong?" replied Agus. His voice was very low as hell, like he was not powered.

"Because our company can't hire employees with infectious diseases, sir! Apologies!" replied The man looked seriously at Agus.

Agus fell silent for a moment again. The man was still thinking about how to change the decision of the man who kept smiling kindly at him.

"Are you sure, there is no chance for me anymore?" Please Agus is full of pity.

The man with neat hair did not answer. He just shook his head a sign of disapproval.

"Well, sir, thank you for cooperating with me during this time." Agus immediately grabbed the brown envelope that was on the table. Then stretched out his hand to the man who was now standing in line with him.

"Please you go!" The man in front of Agus sprained his hands in front of his chest, then pointed at the direction of the exit. Refused to shake hands with Agus.

Agus again retracted his hand with a pias smile. Then the man walked over and died his big boss's room. His heart now really hurts. Everything he had was gone in an instant. Job titles, best friends, jobs, everything has been lost.

----

Agus was lying on a sofa bench in the television room. His gaze fell on the illuminated television screen. But he thought he was wandering far away.

"Honey, do you want coffee?" offered Dinda.

"Hem," Agus replied clearing his throat without looking at Dinda in the slightest.

A moment later Dinda again brought a cup of coffee to Agus and placed it on the table.

"Baby, are you sick?" Dinda looked suspiciously at Agus's face, which looked very pale.

"No, I'm fine," Agus replied shortly.

"Tomorrow we see a doctor, yes!" said Dinda looking worriedly at Agus.

"No need," Agus replied shortly. In the slightest he didn't look at Dinda who was now sitting beside him.

Dinda felt sad. Tears fell down her cheeks. "I'll give you a massage!" dinda's hand was about to massage Agus's hand. But suddenly the man woke up and shook off Dinda's hand.

"Stop!" jerked Agus. His eyes bulged at Dinda.

Dinda was taken aback. "Honey I just... !"
