Nadhira PoV's
At night, my three sisters and I gathered in my room.
We're planning a surprise plan for Dad. Naylan, Opal and Naren seem to be seriously thinking what a surprise for Dad. While I, as usual estimate the available budget for the surprise.
Suddenly Naren broke everyone's focus with half a shout.
"Mom, you know what at school... Are you a favorite of the students?" ask Naren.
I nodded slowly while shrugging my shoulders.
"Sok tau..admittedly also do not lo in school!?" chirps Opal.
"Yes no, did Naren ask that from first class as well. How about Opal??" bela Naren's.
"So...on know if Dad is his favorite children at school? ๐ง๐ง๐ง" he asked again.
Naylan who was laying down on the carpet replied casually, "Aa da can da. Kan Daddy's handsome 11/12 with Aa. Really not Makk??!!"๐ค๐ค๐ค
Instantly a bolster pillow drifted towards Naylan.
BUGS BUGS BUGS.....
"Aaaawww....what sih, really why Aa magh, why so on sewot???โบโบ" turned to Naylan as he dipped his head behind a pile of bolted pillows dodging the next attack.
"Aa very wrong.lain handsome, Dad mah his people can not say not trus Dad most can not be emotional. Is it the same with Naren? Yes, no??!!! ๐Hahaha...๐คญ๐คญ๐คญ." timpal Naren won't lose.
Opal got up from her seat and stood in front of all of us. Then raised the collar of his neck and said, "Dad is cool like brother....How do you look like??!!?? Especially emmak??? ๐ ๐ a very hobby doodling en maen calculator.hahahaha"
Hearing Opal, I immediately manyun.lalu get up and menwewer left ear Opal. Instantly my other two sisters giggled.
"You know, do you know that your emotional cloak is a financial sexy at home? Important paper ballpen ama calculator compared to your love malem fare week....sama who's that Nay? Juki yes.iya Juki!! ๐๐" price.
"Aduuuu duuu duuu....sick or Mak?!!" moaning Opal while pretending to grimace.
"Mak Zaki! Another Juki...", timpal Naylan.
"Yes yes.emmak mah changeover scarecrow name temen Opal tea, made new yellow rice flavor! Please take off Mak.meuni really jewerna" said Opal.
"Eh....who told you nyinyirin emmak๐?!!!!!!" I answered ketus while pulling higher my jeweran.
"He uh lah...iya.iya.iya..ampun pardon mak....ngancemnya use kepeng wae๐ฃ, pull ajal Opal talk earlier, angep ga never talkedapin๐ yeses ..plisss ๐ค๐ค๐ค" pinta Opal while caving to release her ears. "Party yes .... the Zaki was his brother's ice on campus. The person is the same cool brother.jutek ama chick so nice to be taken seriously especially if the business is looking for sponsors event.๐ค" continued Opal explained.
"Ooooh.ce es debt collector, good. I thought you were Zaki and you weren't normal!! Kamana mana duaan wae....๐ค๐ค๐ค...Ahaha!!!" noda Naylan's.
"Najizzzzzzz.na udzzubillah min jalik A. Far away thought. Opal is still the ruler cake plate..there is a straight path.๐๐๐" replied Opal while trying to escape from my jewel.
The debate continues with our laughter. Even though the economic crisis is pressing, our family remains harmonious. My father, mother and three sisters are my best reasons to make a living. Any job is the most important.
I am an architecture graduate, but no company can easily accept fresh graduates without any experience in the field at all. Unless that person has a connection.
Especially in the present, where many companies are reducing and even stopping their operations or activities in order to survive to get through the crisis due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not felt, this pandemic that is considered an international disaster has lasted more than 9 months in Indonesia. Many entrepreneurs are racking their brains to survive this pandemic. Even the decision to lay off employees and pay daily is one of the ideal solutions.
So at that time I decided it was okay to work only as an admin and show the best performance. Most importantly, my three sisters continued to complete their education. Thankfully there are now cost reductions on the part of the Naylan and Opal campuses in relation to the pandemic. So the budget to replace your capital can be implemented without cutting other budgets. Naren SFH (School From Home). This condition lasts more than 1 semester.
Until 11 p.m., our discussions did not come to an agreement. There was even an uproar because it continued to discuss other things and laughed at him.
TOK TOK TOK.
The sound of a knock on the door of the room immediately made us all turn towards the door.
"Kids.What else? Really stormy. It's 12 o'clock now, kasian teteh you tomorrow work." said Mother reminded.
"Yes, yes, no feeling. Mak, continue later the conversation again" said Naren while glancing at Naylan and Opal.
"Da this is mah gegara kamu Ren.bahas na ti kamana where. It's a little unclear.so weeeh Daddy's business isn't in order. Yes yuuu ..sare." take Naylan while nodding.
"Iyaaa Buu.sewhile sun n hugged teteh heula. Let ga dream burik eh buruuk ๐ ." said Opal origin to the door.
Naylan and Opal giggled๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ, while I pulled Opal's head from behind.
"There on molor!! Teteh also drowsiness.๐๐๐ด๐ด๐ด"
"Yes yes dear teteh... peyuuuk first atuh๐ค, seagrass nightmare kumaha?" answer Opal sulking.
"Ih ga shy look you tea...geus bujang still kink spoiled๐." I said while ruffling his hair.
"Bae is the tea.we are spoiled mah I have a scarecrow. Da kita kan da who bobogohan according to kanjeng emmak๐" said Naren while hugging me alternately with Opal and Naylan.
Then the three of them came out simultaneously leading to the door. Because crammed..the door hole can not be passed.
"Eh kupluk....Aa first atuh, meuni te sabaran" pinta Naylan while glancing at his two younger siblings.
Opal and Naren just sneered and forced out at once, scrambling ahead of each other. It took 5 minutes to argue at the door until they finally hired Mom because of her behavior.
"Iiiih.ini slave bujang ga kalu ama age, still keneh kobak behavior." Mother sneered as he handed out their ears one by one as in absentia.
Seeing this scene gives me strength, replenishes my energy even though it will be late at night.
Dad, Mom and I agreed not to give Naylan and Opal permission to work. And we also do not allow them, including Naren to date or be close to the opposite sex.
In addition to the temptation of adultery, it will interfere with their learning activities.

That morning the office was going normally. My job is not too much. Madam Dinar suddenly called me into her room.
TOK TOK TOK.
"Now.."
"Siang Ma'am, did you call me?"
"Yes, enter Dhira.sit down" said Bu Dinar while pointing at the chair in front of his desk.
"Dhira, there is something I want to talk about your work" he continued.
DEG.
For a moment I was silent when Ms. Dinar mentioned my work. Worry suddenly entered my mind.
"Dhira's...Dhira, you heard me" asked Ms. Dinar who saw me daydreaming.
"Oh .eh yes Ma'am.iya, sorry. How about my job?" my question while trying to focus from the shock and keep the mind about PHK.
"So gini.there is an evaluation of your performance from the HRD and also the Board of Directors. Somewhat suddenly, because I also noticed that you haven't even worked here 4 months."
"Yes Mom. I just finished the 3rd month a week ago." I explained.
"OKs. Your work performance in my opinion is very good. I also submitted a recommendation to HRD. But apparently you can not continue working under my direction anymore.." then Ms. Dinar was silent.
DEG DEG DEG
Soon after, Ms. Dinar continued while looking at my face, which reflected despair.
"Dhira..kamu why? I haven't finished delivering. Why is your face so tired?
You can't work under my direction anymore, because the Board of Directors decided to transfer you to the Point Cook office, Australia. As S**econd Assistant from the Head of Project, Mr. Jerry." explains Mr. Dinar slowly.
"Aa...aa...What Mom? I wasn't wrong, was I?" I was half surprised.
"I was as surprised as you were when you received your employee evaluation report. It looks like your educational background in architecture is a basic consideration of the Board of Directors."
"Mom, is this transfer absolute and is there anything else I need to know?"
"Sore later you meet Mira in HRD yes. Now, please finish the files on your desk and hand over the final report tomorrow morning to my desk.
For a while, just first. You can go back to your desk again now." said Ms. Dinar.
I nodded slowly and got up from the chair. I set foot back to the desk, but my mind was still left in the room of Ms. Dinar.
Upon arrival at the table, I focused on finishing immediately the work that Ms. Dinar asked for. It feels like soon to know more details about this transfer plan.
***
The clock is showing at 3:45 p.m. Ms. Dinar has been reminded to go to the HRD room at 4.
15 Minutes left. Tidy up the files and also the table. The possibility of completion of the HRD will go straight home, so just clean up.
The journey to the HRD room is only 5 minutes if the elevator is not full. Upon arrival I went straight into Mother Mira's room.
And he was waiting inside.
TOK TOK TOK
"Check ....Take Dinar?"
I replied with a small nod while still on the doorstep.
"The entrance of Dinar. Sitting next to me, I wait for one more person. Let them explain later. Wait a minute" explained Mira.
TOK
There was not a minute to sit, there was a knock on the door. Mira and I both looked over.
"Bu Mira sorry, this is what I asked Mr. Boss if the applicants who were waiting were not needed in the brief. Later Mr. Boss directly said." info Mr. Marbun, office boy who just stood at the door.
"Ooh.ok. Well sir, thank you for the info." said Ms. Mira while nodding.
After getting a response, Mr. Marbun immediately resigned and closed the door.
I refocused on Ms. Mira to continue the conversation.
"I was right that's Mr. Dhira. Ms. Dinar has delivered most of the info, right? So now I'm just going to give you a contract and an outline for this job." while issuing a clear holder containing several sheets of paper.
I am still following the conversation and trying to review the information that will be given.
Then Ms. Mira continued, "As Second Assistant. mbak Dhira will be placed in the office of Point Cook Australia. Accommodation and transportation are covered by the company. During work, Dhira will work in a team. Head of Project & First Assistant. Details of the job desc detail mbak Mira is in this contract including the amount of income received" while presenting the file in the clead holder to me.
For a moment I turned the contract page to read a glance, looking for important clauses that should be considered. My eyes stopped on the sentence - started working 7 days after signing the contract. Plus the sentence - must pay a penalty of 10 million rupiah if refused placement.
I was surprised to subconsciously ask Ms Mira a question while pointing out the clause, "Sorry Mom, does this mean I can't resist? Being honest, I was still surprised and I also felt objection to the requirements listed. I haven't read any other details."
"Mbak Mira can learn first copy the contract at home. And tomorrow the day after tomorrow return it to me after signing." replied Ms. Mira.
"What's? The day after tomorrow? It's fast Mom. Can't you give it longer? Because this transfer is different continents.not different cities." I tried to clear.
"I'm sorry Mr. Dhira, the Board of Directors decided that for Point Cook's office. Besides, Mira will not leave alone. First Assistant will be flying together." persuaded Ms. Mira.
***
At night at home. After the office, I didn't leave my room. Try to learn the contents of the employment contract earlier.
The salary that I will receive, if I can be honest, makes me tempted. Working hours and job desc can still be categorized as standard.
My current consideration is still with Mom. Pity me if no one helps. Also my brother and father.
My head hurts thinking about everything.I finally decided to lay down in the mattress. I heard a knock on the door.
TOK TOK TOK.
"Teh...stay gapapa? From now on, I didn't see him leave the room. Have you eaten tea yet?" ask me to worry.
I forced myself to get up and step up, open the door.
"Dad...."
"Teeth gapapa?"
I just shook my head slowly.
"Truly gapapa? I watched you from work not yet out of the room. What's up?"
"Ummmmm.it's Well, it's a teteh job."
"Why the work? Do you want to tell Dad?"
And somehow my head nodded slowly but hesitated. Talking to Dad about work is one thing I try to avoid. Because from the beginning my father objected to me working as an admin.
He hoped I could pursue my dream as an architect. It does not help the family economy. Then I tell you everything slowly and show you his employment contract.
Dad took a deep breath and asked, "Dear of Dad?"
"Yes.."
"Then accept the job. This is a dream. Applying as an admin at the company was originally only to help Mother and Father.
Now.the opportunity has been given. Tetu must take." persuade Dad.
"But Yah.if you accept it, it means you have to go. Ninggalin Daddy, Mother with sisters."
"Only different continents of tea. It can still be taken." teased Dad with a smile.
"What the hell, Daddy ko said it carelessly." I replied while leaning spoiled to Dad.
"After all, I haven't talked to Mom and sisters" I said.
"Sok or by the way.don't think for yourself."
"He, uh, thank you Dad." I said, hugging Dad.
The feeling of relief in the heart is inevitable when it has got Father's blessing. Talk to Mom and the Sisters.
