She could not refuse a handsome man who offered her a ride. Helena finally ended up being in the same car with the boss.
"I'm not your driver. Move to the front!" the man ordered as Helena took a seat in the driver's rear passenger seat.
Helena surrendered. She came back out of the car, then moved to the front passenger seat.
After sitting down and fastening the seatbelt, the car drove away from the parking area bravely through the rain.
"What are you doing? Want to pee?" asked the man next to her that was Helena's boss.
"Oh, no sir!" replied Helena nervously.
Helena's hands were wrapped around each other with folded legs and looked very stiff. No wonder the man asked the previous question.
"Your name?" asked the man suddenly.
"Hah?"
"I don't remember any deaf people in my company," the man said sarcastically to Helena.
"Ah, Name? My name is Helena, sir. Helena Gabriel from the Personnel division, the Administration section of first team," Helena replied quickly and nervously, even spontaneously saying her part of the job.
" Adam Team?" asked the man.
"Yes sir,"
"Don't be nervous, I won't eat you!" said the boss, chuckling. "So what's your call? Helena or ah, I remember you are often called Gabi, but always shout not accept it!" he said.
The man continued to put on a cheerful face when he remembered the funny incident he had seen before.
"My name is Helena Gabriel, not Gabi. You can call me Helena, or you can just laugh if you want to call me!" Helena scorned, annoyed that the boss next to her mentioned the cursed call.
"Why are you laughing?" the man asked, turning to Helena.
The car stopped in the middle of the road because the light first green had changed to red.
"My name is Helena. 2 prepositions were He. So if the word 'He' is repeated 2 times it becomes Hehe, it's laughing!" Helena answered plainly.
The girl's nervousness had disappeared. Now there was only annoyance because her boss actually remembered a nickname that often used by friends or office seniors.
"what? What the hell is that? How could that be!" said the man.
"It can be, sir. My friend's name is Renata, her nickname is Rere. There is also a person whose name is Rain, her nickname is Rara. I can make it same, right!" annoyed the girl folded her arms across her chest and turned her face to the side.
Helena's eyes glanced at the traffic light, next to the light that hung on a monitor showed the number of how long the lamp was on. Now the monitor was showing the number '54', which means fifty-four seconds before the light changes color.
"It's okay. I won't call you Gabi, nor can I call you Hehe. I'll just call you Helen. How about that?" asked the man holding out his hand to make a deal with Helena.
Helena, who heard the boss' persuasion, turned her head in doubt. When she saw the boss's hand stretched out to her. She stretched out her hand and shook a hand that was much wider than her own.
"Promise, sir?" asked Helena in a voice like a child out of sulk.
"Yes, I promise."
When the man was about to elaborate on their handshake. Suddenly Helena again gripped the hand firmly to keep it in the same position a moment ago. The man was confused. He asked.
"What is it?"
"I've introduced my name, but you haven't, sir. Is it polite?" Helena asked doubtfully, without daring to look at the man whose hand she was holding.
"I'm sure you know my name," the man replied.
"That is not fair!" Helena shouted.
Helena's grip on her hand grew stronger.
It caused the man to flinch slightly. But he returned to normal because it was just a body reflex. His eyes glanced at the traffic light monitor, soon the green light.
"Alright, alright. My name is Sebastian Arganta. I'm your boss. Enough!" said the man, outlining the handshake after introducing himself.
"Is your name Sebastian?" Helena asked when the car was moving again.
"What do you think my name is all this time?" the man asked without looking up.
The slippery road and the slightly blurry glass due to water droplets made the man have to be extra focused.
"I think your name is Mr. Bastian. Bastian Arganta!" Helena exclaimed, scratching her head that didn't itch.
"Bastian is my nickname,"
Helena nodded her head, then fell silent for a moment. She accidentally remembered when she accidentally hugged the strong arm of the boss next to her. The man was usually called by the name Bastian.
"Sorry..." Helena muttered, turning her face to the side, embarrassed that he had caught her not knowing the correct name of the boss.
While Bastian just cleared his throat, he didn't really care because it wasn't something that could make him angry or upset, either.
"After this where?" Bastian asked the girl leaning against the windowpane.
The girl seemed to enjoy the cold sensation of the water hitting the outside of the windowpane.
Helena turned to the source of the voice and was silent for a moment. She seemed to think for a moment before she finally said.
"Two more intersections, turn right. You can stop me at the Indomaret mini-market there."
"Why not come to your house?" Asked Bastian
"I stay at the boarding house, sir," Helena told him.
"Yes, I have taken you to your boarding house," said Bastian as well.
"But-,"
"Never mind, don't argue anymore. Just show me the way," said Bastian, cutting Helena, who was about to answer.
"It's up to you sir!" Helena said, annoyed.
They didn't talk anymore. Helena just sat with leaning her head against the car window while her face was facing the front. She was afraid to miss the intersection of her house.
"Turn right, sir," said Helena in a voice hoarse from sleep. She really liked this cold atmosphere to sleep in.
"Are you alone in the boardinghouse?" Bastian asked pleasantly to get rid of the cold situation between them.
"I live alone in my room, but there are other people in the other room," replied Helena.
"I see."
They fell silent again.
"There is an Indomaret in front of you, you can drop me off there," said Helena again, giving instructions to Bastian.
"Didn't I tell you that I-"
"My boarding house is above Indomaret, sir!" interrupted Helena, this time that cut Bastian.
"what?"
