The Rumors That Circulate

Morning, when Linda was at the factory.

The people around him, already a lot of talk about him, with assistant manager, Mr. Komarudin.

They mostly talked about what happened between the two. Moreover, lately Mr. Komarudin often come to Linda's room during work breaks.

Although Linda did not hear directly, there was still someone who told her with all the talk of those people.

"That's Linda. Is that true?" ask the person who told Linda this morning.

Linda was still silent, and did not give an explanation to the person who had asked. He thought, that kind of thing does not need to be confirmed.

Because even if it doesn't happen, there will always be such accusations and rumors.

Almost two months working in this factory, Linda learned a lot. How the company of fellow employees, as well as their habits. From the poor, to wanting to know a lot.

In fact, there are also those who are arrogant with all their behavior. But that was just a cover.

Working hours that have not yet begun, there is usually a bell like the one at school, which indicates that working hours begin. And people, usually take advantage of that short time, to talk with their other friends.

There is also a new breakfast, because there is no time for breakfast at home. Or just hearing his friends talk, and gossip.

In fact, there are also those who just keep quiet and pay attention to them, just by looking.

And at such a time, gossip will quickly spread.

Because from one word that comes out of one mouth, it will sound into two words from the mouth of the other.

And so on, until it becomes a warm talk and gossip.

But sometimes, this news also makes someone famous, because of the curiosity of others who coincidentally listened to all the news.

Almost like the world of artistry, which is full of sensations. Because of that sensation as well, the artists went viral and became famous.

Tet tet tet!

Tet tet tet!

The clock bell begins. All employees are ready to do their job and job.

Armed with an SPK, a work warrant, which is a benchmark for a job to be done for today.

They, the employees, also use PPE. It is a personal protective device, in order to avoid something unwanted. Or avoid a work accident.

PPE is in the form of aprons, gloves, protective glasses, or other self-protection tools. In accordance with the work they have to do as a task.

In the group led by Linda, was the gasket group. Or parts that pack the finished product. Ready to be placed in the warehouse, before being shipped as ready-made export goods.

That's why, Linda's group doesn't need a lot of people. There were twenty-five people, who helped Linda to complete their work and tasks.

And now, they were all ready with their respective duties.

"Mr Linda!"

Linda turned to the source of the voice. There was one of the employees who served as the administration of the building, who called.

"Yes Ma'am. What's up?" ask Linda to come closer. So did the man who called him.

"Mbak Linda gets a letter of duty to Jakarta next week. He said, has been told by Mr Rudi yes?" ask the guy.

"Oh yes, ma'am, I have. Thank you." Thank you."

Linda finally remembered, if she had to take leadership training in Jakarta next week.

Even Linda has not asked permission from her husband. He asked for permission to overtime this weekend.

And it was just Linda's wits, who wanted to accept Mr. Komarudin's offer, to go somewhere. Where Linda also felt curious about what the assistant manager said.

Things she never felt when she was with her husband.

"Later to the HRD to take care of everything!" the man said again, giving a message.

"Oh yes Ma'am. Thank you." Thank you."

*****

At eleven in the afternoon, Linda was getting ready to go to the HDR building, which was near the security post.

The HRD building itself, is on the front. It is a stand-alone building, and does not join other buildings.

Linda will take care of everything, for her departure to Jakarta, along with several leaders who are also from various groups and buildings.

In Jakarta, he and the leaders, will receive many lessons and training, to be able to become a leader who can be responsible with his work.

The training also aims to improve their performance and sense of responsibility, as a leader.

And on average, the leader who participated in this training is a new leader. That is in the sense that, they have just been appointed as a leader.

These leaders, also have many experienced as ordinary employees before. There were only a few people, the same as Linda herself.

New leader, and no experience as a leader. In fact, Linda herself just this time became an employee of the garment factory as it is today.

"Linda. Where are you going?" Linda looked back, as a familiar voice called out her name.

It turns out it was Rudi. Manager of the building where Linda is on duty.

"To HDR Sir. He said he could call to take care of the interest to Jakarta next week."

Mr. Rudi nodded in understanding.

"Oh, please continue!" said Mr. Rudi, please allow Linda to continue her journey to HDR.

"Let's Sir."

Linda nodded to excuse me first.

After Linda's departure, Rudi appeared to be still standing in his place earlier. She watched how Linda walked, until someone rebuked her.

"Does Mr Rudi want to?" ask the guy.

"Eh, Mr. Komarudin," said Mr. Rudi, to his assistant.

"Yes. I've felt his service sir. Satisfying!" said Mr. Komarudin gave news about the circumstances he had felt in his new men.

"Huh, that soon?" asked Rudi not to believe.

Mr. Komarudin just smiled full of mystery. He knew that his boss would not believe him.

"This is Sir..."

The assistant manager, whispering by pointing at Linda earlier, with the tail of her eyes.

And this made the manager widen his eyes in shock. Between believing, and not. But he also felt very curious.

Because the manager also knew, how the reputation of his assistant, as a man who was never satisfied with just one woman.

Maybe, just like himself. Who also likes an adventure, to be able to get its own satisfaction.

And if you can easily get it, of course it is a bonus that needs to be grateful for.

"Tomorrow on the weekend, we'll go out together sir. Do you want to come?"
