8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Working Hours

After officially becoming the wife of Wira as well as the Mayor of Carang Sewu, Ajeng really felt his life like playing a roller coaster, briefly become a young lady, briefly become a fugitive, briefly become a fugitive, then became the bride of state officials and now a regular government employee. He suddenly stood beside Wira in front of all employees of the city government office of Carang Sewu who was doing the morning apple.

“Good morning everyone, this morning I want to convey happy news as well as want to introduce someone to all colleagues. Introduce, this is Ms. Ajeng, our new mayor's mother.”

“Woooooow!”

“Suit-suit.”

The atmosphere suddenly became rowdy after Wira introduced the girl she had just married.

“Beginning today, he will help me to take care of all the problems of the city, make the lives of citizens more advanced and prosperous.”

Applause rumbled all over the corner of the field. Whistles and cheers alternately accompany every word that the Hero conveys. Happiness was more complete when Wira said she would buy lunch all staff that day to celebrate her wedding.

*************************

The story of Ajeng and Wira became the hottest topic of conversation that morning. Almost everyone in the town hall was talking about the relationship between the two. Not a few who want to know the background and story of the meeting of the two until they decide to get married. Most of them know very well that their boss is very difficult for women to approach.

However, not a few also feel disturbed and nyinyir over the election of Ajeng as the wife of Wira. Aside from her unclear origins and background, Ajeng is too beautiful to be the mayor's wife in a remote town like Carang Sewu. Just once appeared in front of the employees only, almost all the eyes of the male employees jumped out toward Ajeng. None of the men who did not praise the beauty and appearance of Ajeng shaky like a top model. And that actually makes Manda upset not a bitch.

After the morning apple, Wira immediately invited Ajeng into his study. They sat face to face on the guest sofa with a pile of documents ready to wait for them on the table. Wira took one of them and gave it to Ajeng. “This is your first task.”

Ajeng read a document titled ‘Pekan Pasar Wisata Carang Sewu in 2005’ on the front of the document he received.

“This event has been running for three days till today. But the number of participating merchants and buyers is far from the targeted figure. Your task, increase the participation of citizens, both traders and buyers, in the remaining time.”

“How many days?”

“Four.”

Ajeng opened the last report on the latest participation figures. “You are crazy huh?! How could I possibly push that much. Already half of the implementation time, the figure has not even touched twenty-five percent. This is the model that mlempem or the initiator who is too fantasizing?”

“Open page five!”

Ajeng obeyed the orders of the Wira and found various reasons and obstacles that have been identified as the cause of the failure of the event to reach the target that has been set.

“Wah! Not to be as bad as what the government is until the citizens become this apathetic.” Sindir Ajeng circus.

“That's why I want to hire you. I need a partner who can boost my popularity and credibility as a leader.”

“Dasar shortsighted! What kind of leader hangs his credibility on a stranger he has only known for two days.”

“Not hanging. Sometimes someone needs a collision to be a hero.” Reply Wira satisfied.

“What?! A tumbar?! Basic sneaky!” cibir Ajeng while throwing his face.

The hero observes the watch in his hand. “It's time you worked hard.”

With a look of annoyance and lips monyong five centi, Ajeng took the file of Pasar Wisata Week (PPW) and rushed out of the room Wira.

“Good morning, Mom. I am Yuni, from the secretariat. Today Mr. Wali asked me to accompany my mother to take care of PPW.” Welcome Yuni as soon as Ajeng comes out of the Wira's room.

"Geez!" Ajeng still stroked his chest as he was surprised by the existence of Yuni who was quietly waiting for him at the door. “OK. We leave now.”

**********

Based on information from Yuni, Ajeng decided to start his duties from the town square, where PPW was organized. He went around observing the layout and atmosphere around. He then made some adjustments by making the location more open and visible from roadside A. Yani which is the main line that is always crowded with road users.

“Honorous talk, Mom. Lots of money and cheap. If you want to sell there, you can also. The cost of the retribution is small and the opportunity is big. The buyer was never empty. Ranging from children, teenagers to grandparents on dateng to hang out and shop there.” Obviously Hyperbole.

Mothers, just believe what they hear. In an instant the issue spread to the entire market. The action was also followed by Yuni and other female employees to accelerate the spread of promotion about the event they were titled.

However, apparently it is not only a tourist market event that became a hot topic of discussion in the market that day. Issues about the marriage of Ajeng and Wirapun seems to have entered the market and is being loved by gossip mums.

“Have you heard that Mr Wali is married?”

“Iya. Reportedly his wife is beautiful similar to artist.”

“Iya. He also said Japanese. That's great, isn't it? Rarely there are women here who fluently speak foreign languages.”

“Eh, but the horrors are well? His wife is not a real woman. They've been sleeping in the room at Siliwangi.”

“Masa anyway? But some say that they even still sleep separately in his house even though they are married.”

“Wah, something's not done this.”

“Iya.... Don't-don't just get married already check-cok.”

“City women are so... Likes unruly and brave with husband. The new marriage of the husband has been terminated. Later if stabbed with another woman, just know the taste.”

“Thener... Let's just wait. Their marriage will not last. At most it only lasts a corn.”

“Iya, Mr. Wali will have a lot of fancies, certainly not going to be at home with a model wife so.”

"Kasian yes Mr. Wali, if until divorce again, his career will really end."

"Heeh, that's it.."

He breathed a rough breath. They can talk about it that way and who spreads fake news like that to the public. Not wanting to make a fuss on his first day of work, Ajeng chose to hold back and continue his duties that day.

*************

Not enough to be satisfied just by visiting the markets, Ajeng also visited many places tongkrongan fathers and teenagers, spread brochures and put banners at more points to attract public interest.

“Bu, we've been around all day, why shouldn't we rest for a while?” tawar Yuni who began to fatigue followed the steps of Ajeng who was deft and anti-delivery.

He looked at the clock in his hand. “If you are tired, please rest here first. I will continue my work a little more.”

In an instant, Ajeng got into one of the cars and asked to be escorted to one of the local radio stations. Although tired, Yuni did not dare to rest because her boss still continued to work. So he had no choice but to follow Ajeng to the radio station.

After going through the traffic density, they finally managed to arrive at Carang Fm.

“Please, Bu.” Yuni opens the car door for Ajeng.

“Tomorrow we'll be back again. The clock is up.” reject Ajeng with a smile.

“Means the broadcast hours are up?”

“My working hours are up.” Ajeng answered while closing the door.
