In the box house Erlangga seriously heard Santoso talking about office problems. Santoso did not want to waste the opportunity, mumpung Erlangga could talk without getting angry.
"Oke San, tomorrow we will talk more about HR and about Desmond's uproar with Ali Tanjung. Now I'm interested in talking about Desmond's men whose room is on the other end, what was his nickname?" ask Erlangga.
"Widi, sir," Santoso replied.
"Oh yes, Widi. I love all of his work, which graduate?" ask Erlangga.
"So soon, I see the data." Santoso flipped through the papers of Widi's documents.
"Here I look," pinta Erlangga. Santoso handed over the papers he held.
Erlangga seriously observed the documents about Widi.
"Architek graduated from Berdikari Depok University in 2003, entered here in 2001. Oho! This is the architect I accepted when I had not graduated from college, because the sketches are good, right?" ask Erlangga.
"Rubber, sir," said Santoso.
"Hmm Widi, it turns out she's the architect of this box house. That means he's been working here for almost three years. Previous work experience, huh, car sales?" asked Erlangga.
"Yes car salesman, sir," Santoso replied with a small laugh.
"Why laugh, San?" ask Erlangga.
"Sales luxury cars, sir. Luxury car, you know, hehe," said Santoso.
"According to you, Widi pantesnya so sales bemo?" asked Erlangga while laughing.
"Astaghfirlah, not so sir.." said Santoso.
"Hahaha, don't get me wrong, San. That is, your eyes are not observant, not details! So the kids here if nyodorin anything I often refuse, the ugly is said to be good, the good is said to be ugly. San, I'm not easily fooled packaging," said Erlangga.
"I'm not saying Widi is ugly, sir," said Santoso.
"Haha! Well that! Widi's words are ugly, who just said? I no longer talk about children who are not observant?” ask Erlangga.
“Astaghfirlahualadzim, yes,” Santoso says.
“Everyone is more interested in the cover than the contents, so in this office I love that people want. You see for yourself our office buildings, the appearance of our people, psychologically, our advantages must make our guests bow down! There are also a handful of employees who have not matched the appearance with this office, one of them you, your appearance is still rich old school office fathers, hahaha," ledek Erlangga.
Santoso could only smile, while secretly comparing his appearance to Erlangga's appearance. It is true, Santoso said in his heart.
"Gini San, he's been a luxury car salesman, you know what that means?" ask Erlangga.
"Maybe she used to look different. Indeed here he is often hot-heated riding a motorbike for the project," replied Santoso.
"Well, Desmond is outrageous, we'll have a lot of office cars. The butut jacket is an architect, not a handyman,” said Erlangga.
Santoso laughed at Erlangga's affectionate call to Widi.
“That's it look, your report on this kid's joblist, his work is a lot, all the important work again, Desmond's other men why?" ask Erlangga.
"That's, Sir! I strongly agreed when you said Desmond's position should we review, as well as his other men," said Santoso.
"Yes, I was the one who brought Desmond here wrong, but I now do not care, if I can not work, I turn to his father who nitipin garbage," said Erlangga
"Agree, sir," Santoso said.
"Hmm, that Bolong Jacket what was his name? A widi? Widi Yes. Fortunately this boy is at home. He used to be happy, accepted to work while still in college, but now, if he realized his potential, he could choose any office that made him comfortable. This child is me who handles it directly," said Erlangga while continuing to flip through documents about Widi.
"Rubber, Sir. Moreover, he is now taking the S2 architect" said Santoso.
"Well what did I say? People as good as this if found out competitors must be hijacked. Hmm, gini San, Widi don't ever let you sun her again, give her a new car and a driver. Tomorrow I want to discuss the salary, he I rise to a new position that deserves, Project Manager."
“Manager Project? Create a new department, sir?” ask Santoso.
“No need, change Desmond's position. For Widi, let me go straight to him,” said Erlangga.
"Ready, Sir! About his butut jacket, how?" tanya Santoso began to dare to ask a prank question.
"Haha. San, you abstain me? I can conjure up old buildings to be magnificent, let alone conjure up the Kneut Jacket!" answered Erlangga while laughing.
Santoso is just mesem-mesem.
"O, yes. Lu said Widi's going to the field in the afternoon. I asked, the afternoon when he returned to the room, there must be the most sophisticated computer on his desk, can you?" ask Erlangga.
"God willing, sir" said Santoso.
"Good, thankyou, San. Okay, for a while just like this," said Erlangga.
"Together, sir." Santoso left and left Erlangga.

At about half-eight in the evening, Widi returned to the office after visiting the project site. The atmosphere of the office had been quiet, all of a sudden, Soffie approached her, "Hi, Wid, just returned?"
"Yup, tumben hasn't come home yet?" suhut Widi with a face of no interest.
"Can't you?" ask Widi while stopping her steps.
"By the way, only my men want to use it too" Soffie said.
"Another office car will exist" Widi replied.
"Yes, why are you using a new car? The car asked me to do it" Soffie said.
"Oh, is that the problem?" asked Widi while smiling cynically.
"Eee," Soffie wanted to explain but immediately cut Widi.
"Sof, if the car problem, you ask Mr. Santoso aja yes," said Widi as he quickly left Soffie.
"Okay Wid, I'll ask, is your bike broken?" soffie shouted from afar, Widi did not reply, he pointed towards the Santoso room without turning his head.
Widi is lazy to serve trivial things are not nutritious. During his time working here, only this time he used an office car, it was on Santoso's orders. Widi did not ask the reason Santoso, because he always tried to avoid all office officials, including Santoso who he trusted the most here.
Let alone the higher-ups, even Widi rarely chat with fellow employees. He is lazy to serve the standard theme of the hedon chat, most only about the problem of who knows best how to spend money and boast of the experience of having fun in the black world. Widi is only comfortable hanging out with groups who have to work hard in order to survive like her.
Widi does not know yet, soon she will replace her superior, Desmond. Desmond's parents were Erlangga's business partners, so he wanted to be visited by a raw boy who was looking for experience before continuing his family's business empire.
Unfortunately Desmond is just a spoiled child who has great authority. He chose the men from his circle of association who are equally unable to work, even though being an architect here is the toughest job, because it must reach the standards of Erlangga perfectionist. Today Erlangga just found out from Santoso, actually he only needs to hire one person in Desmond's department, Widi.
Santoso who had long been fed up with the behavior of office parasites was happy, because Widi finally got the attention of Erlangga. He not only gave a decent position to Widi, even challenged to renovate it. Hopefully not because inspired by television shows that turn a rickety house into a dream home.
Widi does not need to be taught to be beautiful. Erlangga did not know Widi in the past.
Let's try for a moment to imagine being a Widi.
While still hitchhiking at the house of Aunt Lina, after dawn Widi already had a bunch of activities in the traditional market with her aunt. After that he still took the time to take the children of Aunt Lina to school.
Once the affairs of the family Aunt Lina finished, Widi had to rush to the office so as not to bad luck. Instead of preparing a special time to dress up, it is better to complete the pile of work that has been waiting for him.
During the day, when the sun was being cruel, Widi had to leave the office with her motorcycle reviewing the project. Sometimes they come to places far apart. Widi does not want to borrow an office car, because he is lazy to scramble with the higher ups who always straddle the office car for personal matters.
At the project site, Widi faced field people such as foremen, artisans, thugs and even maniacs. Men only, if soft can be brushed, especially women.
Beautiful appearance will also make it difficult for Widi to tiptoe on a puddle of water, step over the mortar, kelit from wet paint, zig-zag between piles of material, climb the ceiling and so on.
When dust, smoke, sun, rain, muddy splashes become your meal every day, then the skin of the charred, blackheads, feet, sweat, body odor and his friends will marry you forcibly.
So, who are the women who can look beautiful in the Widi realm? He often appears inappropriate.

Upon arriving in his room, Widi turns on the lights, stunned to see a new laptop on the table. Widi found a note, she read it.
Widi, Mr. Erlangga gave this laptop to support your work. He also gave you a new desktop that suits your needs, but is still in IT. Tomorrow you exchange your old desktop for a new one after your work data is stored.
Santoso
Widi was both happy and astonished, because today the office gave her a lot of attention.
Ucup giving computer? How he knew I needed a good computer, not the one in the corridor this morning ….
Widi approached the window facing the lake. He knew the box house often occupied by Erlangga at night, but only this time he wanted to make sure his figure.
Behind the glass of the box house, Widi found a shadow of someone who is not clearly visible, but Widi recognized the movement of the person, Ucup prayer?
Said friends Widi, Erlangga is Islam KTP, let alone pray fardhu, jum’atan he even often held meetings.
Alhamdulillah, muttered Widi briefly while away from the window, he was worried about being accused of spying on Erlangga.
Never mind, whoever Ucup, the important thing is he is good with me and turns out to pray. Maybe he's been converted, so not as many people say.
Widi turns on her new laptop, she wants to try it out for a cross-time chat.
