" The time showed 19.25 like a normal day.. Retno came home from her place of work in the South Jakarta area.
Her full name is Retnowati Puspitasari, her friends often call her Eno. She arrived home just in time for dinner, she always made time to eat with her father.
During dinner this time, Dini became a topic of conversation between Retno's parents.
"What's the name of that guy from your office, Rento?" her father asked,,
'because the other day the man had dropped Rento off and then asked permission to leave immediately. It turned out that Retno's parents sympathized with him because of his polite demeanor.
" Yes, dad..???
" I work in the same office as my father...
"But he worked there first, so his status is my senior, Dad...
" Why are you asking me that, Dad? Rento asked while enjoying dinner with his parents.
" That means he is senior and maybe more experienced than you, Retno... Retno nodded in agreement with her father's question.
"Dinner was finished, Mrs. Retno cleaned the dining table and took the used utensils to the sink towards the kitchen.
" Meanwhile, Retno's father was still at the dining table wiping his mouth, then sipping his favorite coffee and, as usual, not forgetting to smoke a cigarette.
" Dad wants to have a little chat with you, Retno. Don't go into your room yet, her father asked Retno.
" It's not like usual, why does dad suddenly want to talk to me... Retno replied with a slightly suspicious and curious glance at her father.
" That's because you are Retno's father's only child,,, and you are also an adult, especially now that you work in an office, said her father.
"So what should Retno do, Dad?" Rento chimed in.
"It's not about what to do, Retno. Dad just wants the best for you."
" The best and most beautiful thing about being a woman is being loved, not loving Retno.
" Retno became increasingly confused by her father's question.
" What do you mean, father? Retno doesn't really understand his question.
" This is how it is, my daughter Retno, the man who accompanied you, I think, is quite polite and seems to have good behavior, I mean, if you are currently in a relationship with him, I also don't forbid my daughter.
" But father has a message for you, my only daughter is the white hope of father's crown which is priceless, therefore my daughter must always be able to maintain your purity... while smoking his cigarette, his father looked at his daughter's face.
" Yes, father..!! Retno answered in a serious tone to her father.
"This is all because nowadays times have changed and made women's emancipation, because I saw that your office friend is handsome,,
,
'maybe there are also many girls who like him and even want him more than anything, even though you are no less beautiful, my child.
" When her father had told her that women should maintain their purity and not allow it to be tarnished by anything, her feelings became all over the place. Her heart was beating fast.
"That's because Retno crossed his mind this afternoon when he was taken home in the man's car, they both went home together, taking her home...
it was truly a beautiful worldly paradise that felt like it belonged to the two of them.
" It really didn't make sense with all her father's words, Retno just smiled to herself while imagining the incident this afternoon with her office friend without realizing that in front of her was still the figure of her father who was staring at her.
" How dark this world would be if there was no figure of that man, in her mind Retno just wanted to always be with him.
" Then Retno excused herself to her father and went to her room. "Retno's father excused himself, he's going to his room. He's really tired today," her father agreed, smoking a cigarette.
" When she arrived in her room, Retno immediately jumped onto her bed and lay down while hugging her bolster pillow tightly, imagining what she had done with her office friend that afternoon...
" I really don't want to know what love is. Life is still long, reaching success,' but Retno was lulled into falling deeper into the fire of love,,
' which might bring her disaster...
"Moreover, perhaps her office friend was a true man who could make a woman's fortitude as thin as tissue..
Was it true that his hugs and sweet seduction had softened my father's bright white hopes into cloudy...?
"Like a bee sucking honey, no matter how sensitive a woman's feelings are, making memories like this eternal and beautiful in the deepest recesses of her heart forever...
" Retno smiled to herself in her room, her eyes staring at the ceiling of her room and the bolster pillow that Retno hugged even tighter, imagining that it was her office friend.
" A sweet smile appeared on her face, to the point that she forgot to change her work clothes until Retno fell asleep... bringing her sweet memories into sweet dreams with her office friends.
