8 To 4: The Mayor's Contract Wife

Overtime

It was still early in the morning, so Wira took the time to read the newspaper before leaving for the office. He then got a call from Rega and heard that one of the officials from the central legeslatif members would stop at the town hall with his wife and entourage before continuing his service trip to the bordering city of Sido Bener directly with Carang Sewu. Rega asked Wira to welcome the official as he was still on his way back from his official visit from out of town.

“Why just say now anyway Mr Rega?”

“Sorry Mr. Wira. Last night I called Mr. Wira but Bibi said Mr. Wira has not come home. I tried to contact Mr. Wira's phone but not active. I have also sent a text, but it looks like you haven't read.”

“Ah, yes already... continue, what time can Pak Rega get to the office?” ask Wira to Rega who should have returned from Batang Hulu.

“This is me still on my way, sir. Just arrived Sumber Arum, maybe two more hours until.”

“OK. Let me take care of everything.”

“Thank you, Sir. Good morning.”

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

“Bik, please wake up mom!”

“Sorry sir, Bu Ajeng has woken up from this morning and is running early in the city park.”

“Aish, shit! There was the show. Pake morning run event all over again.” Gerrutu Hero.

“Need me to pick up, Sir?”

“Iya. Uh no need. Let me just!” The hero became confused himself so panicked.

He brought Bi Sumi's bike to pick up Ajeng in the city park.

“Sorry Sir, but my working hours are from eight in the morning to four in the afternoon. And it's still six in the morning.” Reject Ajeng when Wira asks him to get ready to welcome his guest.

“But this is an emergency.”

Ajeng still continued to run in the morning without disturbing Wira.

“An important guest, Jeng!”

Ajeng still flinching. He was not interested and did not care.

“OK. Overtime. We count this as overtime.”

The wagon began to stop his running.

“Two times wage per hour.” Tawar Wira

Ajeng continued running the next morning.

“Three times.”

The wizards still run.

“OK. Five times.”

Ajeng still ran without caring about Wira.

"OKAY. So what do you want?" ask the hero to surrender.

Ajeng stopped and turned to face Wira who continued to follow him. "Come to the boy's house and fix their problems!"

"But, Jeng. It's a family affair. It's not the mayor's domain to interfere."

"But the boy was a minor and he was forced to marry his grandparents in order to pay off his father's debts. If the government can't attend to help them, what's the point of your uniform? But if you can't, I'll come to them myself."

"OKAY. After this morning's show is over, I'll try to talk to them."

He immediately ran home to get ready.

“Sial!” muttered Wira after the girl disappeared from his sight.

**********

Ajeng perfected his appearance by sweeping thin make-up and hair that was coiled beautifully and neatly, also wearing high-heeled ivory-colored shoes that were very fitting and beautiful in the legs of his feet.

“This is really Bu Ajeng?” ask Abdi while he gaped. “Such beauty. Kirain Indonesian princess mistakenly landed here.”

“Can be you, Abdi.” Reply Ajeng blushed.

“What is Indonesia? This is more like a flight attendant selection participant.” Cibir Hero.

Ajeng's blushing face turned wry instantly. “Ngga can do see the little seneng people?!”

“Report, Sir! His guest will arrive in three minutes.” One of the protocol officers.

Wira along with Ajeng and other staff members prepare for their respective positions. And right according to the time informed, the motorcade that brought the group of members of the central legeslative entered the courtyard of the official house of Wira.

“Who are they?” tanya Ajeng when he saw three luxury cars approaching them.

“Pak Rangga, vice chairman of the DPR from parta A.”

“What?! DPR center?!” tanya Ajeng.

Wira nodded as he gave a friendly smile welcoming the arrival of Mr. Rangga who just got off his luxury car.

“Include, this is Ajeng, my wife!”

But instead of immediately welcoming Mr. Rangga's hand, Ajeng was seen still in shock, stuttering and trembling after hearing he would meet with officials from the center.

“Jeng!” sapa Wira disperse Ajeng daydream.

“Oh yes, sorry..” Ajeng turned to Wira who gave him the code with eyes that pointed to the hand of Pak Rangga who was still stuck to Ajeng.

Ajeng hurriedly welcomed Mr. Rangga's hand while apologizing. “Sorry Sir, this is the first time I welcome an important official like Mr. So it's still a bit clumsy.”

“Bu Wali could have. Thanks for the welcome.”

Ajeng hurriedly turned to the middle-aged woman standing behind Mr. Rangga. He approached and greeted the woman with great courtesy and kindness. From his appearance alone, he could guess that the woman must be the wife of Mr. Rangga. So Ajeng immediately invited him to follow Mr. Rangga and Wira to the living room.

The waiter immediately serves warm drinks and snacks that they have prepared in advance. The hero immediately dissolved in the chat style of the office fathers with Mr. Rangga.

“Bu, would you like a short break inside? We have prepared a comfortable guest room for mom.” Tawar Ajeng hopes to avoid the most boring scenes of listening to men discussing political issues.

“Bby.” Reply to Bu Rangga quickly.

Ajeng was happy because his guess was right. Bu Rangga must also be as tired of hearing the boring chatter of the men, just like him. So Ajeng immediately drove Bu Rangga to the guest room.

“Home is comfortable, cool.” Praise Bu Rangga.

The praise was worth saying because when he first came to the house, Ajeng also felt the same way. Although the structure of the building is not much different from the official house on this island, but the official house of the mayor of Carang Sewu adopted the concept of an old house from the Dutch colonial era that characterized a spacious room with a high roof, large poles and teak wooden frames with beautiful carvings, which were very beautiful, which makes the atmosphere of the house feel relieved. Coupled with a beautiful garden and large trees neatly arranged around the house, which makes the atmosphere more shady and cool

Wira is famous for loving gardening. It even has a flower garden and vegetable garden in front and center of its office courtyard. He also chooses, plants and treats the plant himself on the sidelines of his busy life. No wonder, if the environment where the Hero lives and works becomes very comfortable and cool.

“Ah, yes... Mas Wira planted some flowers and arranged the trees around this house.”

From the window, Bu Rangga briefly saw a very beautiful flower garden next to the house and he turned briefly to see it in person.

“What is this Mr Wali himself who planted it?”

Ajeng. “He really likes plants.”

“Bu Ajeng lucky. Men who love plants are usually typical of loving and loyal men.”

“Why can it be?”

“Because caring for plants requires patience and sincerity. If the same plant only he loves and cares, especially the same wife as Bu Ajeng?”

Ajeng chuckles while blushing, “Bu Rangga can aja.”
