Anesta And Mahesa

Enamoured

"Ma, Mahesa will come to the boarding house. I'd like to see your mama"

"Why did you meet Mama?"

"There is no special agenda Ma, just to meet"

"What if Mom doesn't want to see him?"

"It's up to you, I won't force you to meet him. Mahesa just wanted to talk to mom"

There was silence between the two of us. I don't understand my mother's attitude. I think mom's attitude is outrageous. What's wrong Mahesa?. Why is he treated like that?.

"Alright, mama's gonna see him tonight".

That word alone makes me happy. I don't expect much, with the meeting tonight can immediately change your decision. I just want you to know Mahesa. That'sthat's all.

That night Mahesa came wearing a dark blue shirt and light blue denim pants. I really like the color blue. So that night, I thought Mahesa looked really handsome.

"Deg-degan huh?", I said with a smile teasing him.

"Little bit. I met my mom yesterday", she smiled back at my temptation.

"Good night aunt".

I didn't hear Mom's footsteps, or because I was too busy with my thoughts while admiring Mahesa.

"Good night Mahesa. Let's just talk here, shall we?"

"Yes aunty"

And the conversation started with my mother's questions about Mahesa. From his college days to his family. How the conversation that was initially stiff is getting more fluid. I started hearing Mom's laughter.

I didn't expect Mahesa to be able to carry herself in front of mom. Because he's a guy who doesn't usually talk much. So as the talk of mama and Mahesa flowed more and more, frankly I was quite surprised.

After the time showed at 21:00, Mahesa said goodbye.

"I'm happy aunt, hopefully the journey will be smooth tomorrow"

"Yes Sa, aunty also hopes so. Tomorrow you will take your aunt to the airport. Let someone accompany Anesta"

"Yes aunty, tomorrow I will come to the airport"

"Yes, go home. It's night, auntie's gonna rest too".

Mom left us both.

"You know, I'm surprised you can talk to my mom" I said, whispering. I was afraid my mother would hear my voice.

He just smiled, "I'm home. I'll see you in the morning".

He wore the top of my head and kissed my forehead.

"Mahesa, thank you".

****

"Mahesa, are you home?"

"Already, Ma"

"Like the kid, he's polite and looks good. Your assesan is in love with her", I see mom smiling.

"But mom's decision remains the same Anesta. Remember that!"

It's okay if you don't approve of our relationship at the moment. At least mama has started to know Mahesa even though only a little.

A few days later

"Good day!.

"Yes, good day"

"Is it true that I spoke to Anesta's brother?"

"Yes right"

"I am from PT. Surya Lestari would like to convey that you are accepted to work in our company"

"Thank you", I almost cheered.

I nodded my head, not realizing that my opponent could not see me.

As soon as the phone is closed. I cheered "Yeayyyy!"

Immediately I called Mahesa to tell her this good news.

"Mahesha!. I got accepted to work!"

I let out my happiness by shouting. I don't care if Mahesa's ears have to hurt to hear my voice.

I heard her laughter, I knew she was happy too.

"When did Bee start working?"

"Day Monday. I'm so fond of Sa"

"Yes, I know. I'm also fond of Bee"

"Congratulations Bee for your hard work"

"Thank you for your prayers Sa".

Then I also reported this good news to my mother. There was gratitude when my mother heard from me. Finally, his daughter was accepted to work.

***

Frankly there was a slight feeling of fear the first time I had to get into a new environment.

I'm afraid I can't adapt well. From starting to adapt to the environment of friendship to adapting to work. Because sometimes the theory obtained while in college, it will be very much different from the reality in the world of work.

Turns out I have good friends. It could be a story, a friend in the job and a friend to hang out on the dimall.

I also love my job, because I get to meet all kinds of people and characters.

As an HRD staff I should be able to recruit employees and put them in the right position that the company needs.

After that I also did training for a certain job.

Like the company where I work today, engaged in food by having several outlets in the mall. I should be able to teach them how to deal with buyers, how to serve food that is in accordance with company standards to how to sell a product especially if it is a new product.

I also have to make a work agreement with a new employee. Usually there is a format, I just copy.

The hardest part was that if there was a mismatch between the company and the workers, I could come to the Disnakertrans office many times to resolve an employment dispute. Thankfully, that happens very rarely.

I really enjoy my work. And what I like most is when I do interviews. I love talking to them, exploring their potential and usually my choices are never wrong.

Once, I did an interview to find employees who should be placed in the hall that is in the mall. Usually the main requirement, must look attractive in my opinion. It does not have to be beautiful, handsome, white or have a good body.

Maybe from his smile or his mannerisms or it could be from the way he spoke.

Once there was a girl who just graduated from school came for an interview.

The first time he met he looked shaky. I'm being friendly so he doesn't feel afraid of me. This girl had a pretty face, but when I asked her a few simple questions she immediately cried. He doesn't have the mentality of a warrior. As beautiful as she is, I will definitely cross off the list.

There are many more stories about my work. But I don't want to write everything here. This is, after all, the story of Anesta and Mahesa, not Anesta and his work.

****

"Anesta, there's something I'm going to tell you".

If my boss has called from the front door of his study, then I have to hurry to meet him.

My boss is very handsome and unmarried. He is also friendly and kind. Typical superiors who will be loved by their subordinates. Our relationship is only a working relationship. Not more.

"Next week you are assigned to attend training at Jakarta headquarters for one month. There are new products and we will also introduce a new company picture"

"So after you train in Jakarta, you will convey to us all that there is this branch. Understand, Nes"

"Yes sir, I understand"

"Alright, you immediately finish your work here so that next week you can leave for Jakarta without any workload here"

"There are some jobs you might be able to delegate to me"

"Okay sir, I'll finish my work soon. Includes some employee contract agreements that will be due. I'll give you the list"

This week has been pretty busy for me. I wish I could finish it before I leave for Jakarta.
