Refuse Again

It turned out that the offer given by Mr. Rudi to Linda, was rejected again.

Linda strongly rejected the offer.

"Sorry Mr. Rudi. Linda hasn't felt appropriate yet, with the position of deputy manager." Linda told me the reason, in a good way.

He did not want if, rejection of Mr. Rudi's offer, made the manager hurt. Then make it difficult to work later.

In a way, Linda knows how the bosses behave. If his wish is not fulfilled. The work that will be the impact of the venting of their anger, without having to use violent and visible means.

"You can learn Lin! What is impossible in this world?"

Apparently, Mr. Rudi still does not want to be rejected. She wants Linda to follow her wishes.

"But Linda hasn't worked here in a year. This will make the other friends jealous, because of social inequality."

Linda let out a long sigh, pausing her sentence for a while.

"And this can affect the authority of Mr. Rudi as a manager," added Linda, completing the sentence earlier.

Mr. Rudi gave a rough breath.

"Well!"

Linda looks calm, and there is no expression.This makes Mr. Rudi more curious, with Linda's personality that he thinks is mysterious.

In addition to being liked by the creatures in this building, Linda looks weak and obedient.

But it turns out, behind all that there is a stubborn nature that is not easy to understand, and also subdued.

"Then, if there's a good offer from TKA that's here, will you turn it down as well?" asked Rudi wanted to know, to where Linda would still refuse the offer from him earlier.

Linda just snorted coldly. But he did not immediately answer questions from Mr. Rudi.

"The TKA must have a performance assessment that he thinks is good and not. And usually, he will also see how close the manager and his representatives are. Because this is related to all the work that is their shared responsibility.

Linda let out a long sigh again, and closed her eyes. Trying to stay calm and not cause emotions Mr. Rudi.

"Is the Bu Win case really in progress?" ask Linda to know.

He has not heard, the extent of the case that befell Bu Win. Because Linda herself, did not know what happened to Bu Win, other than the incoming money from the new employees.

"He hasn't been in since you left for work yesterday, has he?"

Mr. Rudi reminded Linda, of Bu Win's absence. And for now, it means that Bu Win has been absent for three days.

"Why didn't he just apply for resignation? So not impressed to run away," asked Linda, who regretted the attitude and actions carried out by Bu Win.

But Mr. Rudi just shrugged both his shoulders, because he also did not know. How could Bu Win not be responsible for everything he has done for his case.

"You know Lin? Because of the Bu Win case, this building became the spotlight of the superiors. And I don't know, how to restore their trust in me."

From Mr. Rudi's tone, there was obvious resentment and sadness.

Perhaps from this case, the name of Mr. Rudi was also dragged. Because I thought I was involved. Mr. Rudi is the manager of this building. Where Mr. Win served as assistant manager, Mr. Rudi himself.

"So, how's Lin? Do you want to learn and learn?" asked Rudi again, urging Linda to accept the offer.

"Sorry Sir. For now Linda can't."

Looks like this time Linda can not be influenced by the invitation of Mr. Rudi.

"Yes already. Go back to work!"

Mr. Rudi's voice was heard restraining anger. He must be upset. Because Linda does not want to obey her requests and words anymore.

*****

"Mbak Linda asked Mr. Rudi to come overtime children. Maybe until eight or nine p.m."

Linda looked surprised, hearing the words of her friend.

He was sure, Mr. Rudi who usually contacted himself or came directly to meet him, was now angry. Due to the refusal he made to his offer earlier.

"But Ma'am, Linda wants permission to be able to go home at work. It's her husband Linda abis Ma'am's work accident. Can't walk, and still need help."

"Well, how about Linda? Emhhh.. try Linda ask directly to Rudi sir!" the supervisor, asked Linda for permission and talked to Rudi himself about his permission.

"Usually Mr. Rudi is nothing like Linda. Try it yourself, Mom!"

Linda could only nod. But he was thinking that, Mr. Rudi was sulking and also upset by the decision he took.

'But if I don't try to talk, I don't know either. I'd better ask permission later.' Linda sat down, with her desire to be able to go home early.

Tut tut tut!

Linda tried to contact Rudi. Because he didn't want to meet in person.

He does not want, if Mr. Rudi will be angry and not give him permission.

It's gonna hurt Linda more. So he decided to talk on the phone.

Tut tut tut!

..."What's the matter?" ...

Mr. Rudi's voice sounded hostile.

Linda tried to calm herself down, in order to say that she wanted permission.

..."Sorry, Mr. Rudi. For today, Linda cannot accompany the children overtime. Linda's permission to go home at work." ...

..."How can you let the kids go overtime unattended? It won't work out the maximum." ...

..."But Sir. Linda's husband still needs help.He can't walk anywhere." ...

Linda tried to give an explanation to Mr. Rudi, in order to be given permission.

..."It's up to you Lin. I'm not willing to take any responsibility, in case your revision is met and does not meet the production target for export." ...

Click!

Mr. Rudi immediately cut the call from Linda. When finished saying objection to the permission requested by Linda.

Now Linda's confused, with what she's supposed to do.

She could not bear to let her own mother and father take care of her husband and children at home.

But he also could not ignore just like that, what was said by Mr. Rudi just now.

Linda let out a long sigh, then threw it away slowly. He had to rethink, and consider everything. For the good of the future.

Finally, Linda walked towards the production area. Go around looking at the state of the workers, who are at work.

He's meeting a leader who's gonna be late tonight.

"Mr. Your revision is overtime until eight or nine, is it tonight?" ask Linda to the leader.

"Yes, Linda."

"You take care of the kids! I can't go overtime. I came home late in the afternoon, because my husband still couldn't walk."

Linda finally asked the leader, to take care of his men who will be overtime later tonight.
