BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT BEAUTIFUL

22. Departmental Rise

There will always be results from the hard work you do. This is one of the principles I hold.

Do you know what it feels like to be heartbroken? Something that must be very unpleasant. I want to bury everything about him. But I chose to swallow the bitter pill of failure and share stories and advice to strengthen each other. Who would have thought, the idea that suddenly appeared finally made me the best employee of the year. This morning Mr. Pras announced it in front of all employees as we performed our morning prayers.

"I congratulate Rara, in addition to being selected as the best employee of the year, Rara also began today will rise as manager!" said mr Pras.

"Alhamdulillah!" spontaneously I immediately said hamdalah, between shocked, happy but still not believing to hear the announcement made by Mr. Pras. It's really, isn't it? Not a dream, right? I asked to be pinched by Aya who was standing next to me. It hurts, it means it's true.

As I was about to advance forward, I saw that Gita's foot was pointing its thumb at me. While all the other employees smiled happily. Only one person stared coldly, who else if not Arif. But I don't care, it's up to him to respond.

"Actually our new director will give awards and daily for Rara, but he has not been able to appear because there are some things that must be completed" said Mr. Pras. "Congratulations Ra!" Mr. Pras gave me a trophy, a certificate and a gift, and he put his hands in front of me.

"Thank God, thank you sir. Thank you guys for your support, thank you company!" I lowered my head.

After the morning prayer was over, one by one the officers congratulated me. They are very happy with the success I have achieved.

"Rara, from now on I have to call you mother because you are my boss." said Anita.

"No need for Nit, it's normal." I smiled broadly.

"Something is sorry not to see Rara rise to office and be elected as an exemplary officer?" Anita glanced at Arif who was standing not far from us.

I'm sure that Anita really wants to insinuate Arif because of the way he talks and also deliberately raise the tone of voice, it looks right that he was fishing Arif.

But before there was a speech event that led to the act of blaming me, I decided to immediately go up to my room. I have a lot of work to do, one of which is to move rooms.

"Rara, congratulations!" my three friends hugged me tight. They are certainly one of the happiest people with this news.

"Eventually your hard work and patience pay off, Ra!" tymphal Aya.

"Yes Ra. Let's just say this is wrong or the wisdom of yesterday's failure. Finally, you can step calmly and become a source of inspiration for others. Aye, right?" dini Debut.

"But by the way, will there be a thanksgiving event?" asked Risa who from the beginning just silently listened with a smile.

"God exists. But not now yes. I'm gonna rush home, mama and Dinda" I said. Two of the most valuable people in my life should know about the achievements I just achieved.

"Ready!" answer Early, Aya and Risa.

In the lobby of the office we split because my three friends still have a lot of work, they still have to overtime. Now I step alone while humming cheerfully.

Suddenly the move came to a halt when he saw the figure of Arif. Oh my God, he's again. The heart that was originally flowering immediately tangled.

"Why again?" I spoke in a jutek tone so that Arif would understand that I didn't like to see him anymore.

But I don't know what his heart is made of, so he doesn't care about my words. Still blocking my steps. If this is not in the office, it feels better to look for a storm.

"Then what?"

"Ra, I really need your help. Please allow me to join your team. It's true Ra, I'll be in PHK if I don't have a job right. I know you still have a heart, so please give me a chance. You know Ra that I really need this job. This company is the only one that pays employees so much. After all, if I quit, it would be hard to get a new job. Can it be Ra." pinta Arif.

"No Rif!"

"You really don't want to help me Ra? I'm sure you still have a heart. That's why I asked for your help. I also know that you will not repay others for bad deeds."

"Rif, I don't need extra people."

"It's only three months Ra, until I understand my own job and find a suitable team."

"Can't Rif."

"That means you're still a grudge, Ra?"

"Not at all."

"Ra, just think about it, if I get fired, then what do I support my istis, and my parents. You know Ra, my mom could be shocked to hear this news. Have mercy on me Ra."

Oh Allah .. somehow again reject it. I'm completely out of words. Why is there anyone so selfish as Arif?

He asked me to think about the fate of his family. For their sake I was told to lie, but Arif himself did not care about my fate and my family. Because of that, Mama and Dinda have to bear the shame.

"Rif, there is or is no problem between us, I still won't allow you to join my team. You know the reason, I'm a guy who needs a perfect team, people who work hard and don't demand much.

You're so mean, Rif. Forcing me to think of your family. But do you think about my wealth when you play us all?

So please from now on don't show up in front of me. I told you I didn't need you on my team." I said in a trembling voice, holding in anger.

"It's so arrogant of you, Ra. Now I'm happier after deciding on our wedding plans because I just found out about your nature. Besides being arrogant, you also have no heart." Arif recalls. "How can you ignore the feelings of a mother! I said you respect mom, but now where's the evidence?"

"That's enough of a joke, Rif. Don't ask others to understand you while you don't respect others. You know how my mama is doing? Fucked up because of you.

Mama fainted from shock. You also have no responsibility to solve everything. You just take your hands off like a coward.

Calculate also the Rif, how much our money, time and energy losses. A great deal. But did you think about it too? Not." I said.

"It's destiny, Ra. You count once anyway, Ra. The one who wants to make a big party is your mama."

"But you should have feelings too. The time to marry but not the slightest capital. It's worth it when you cancel it. Lha wong you have nothing to lose. Aye, right?"

"Keep cornering me, Ra."

"As for Rif, I don't want to talk about it anymore. Don't show up in front of me either." I quickly walked away from him, regardless of the call from him. Let him think about his mistakes.
