Denisa Rosaline

Cousin Far Mami

It is Wednesday and Aline has not yet decided in which division he will work from Monday tomorrow, but tomorrow he has to give an answer to Mr. Rahman, HR Manager where he works. While all day he was busy with completing whatever tasks he could do, itung-itung helped mbak Nita who must be very troubled to take care of children who are recovering from illness and debay at once. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow he will hand over with mbak Nita. Everything is done he did.

The watch in his hand shows at 15:04. That means he must immediately rush to the busway stop if he does not want to be late again to the restaurant.

Aline gathered all his tools, and he compiled and stacked maps containing report data in his desk drawer. Not forgetting he locked it. Check back the bag, wallet, cellphone, house key, stock bag. All complete. Then he turned off the computer and the printer. Hurriedly he stepped into the room of his superior, Miss Mira to say goodbye. Then he stepped outside the room waving at one of his two colleagues who happened to notice him. Aline hurriedly walked over, pressing the elevator button impatiently.

As soon as he got out of the elevator, as he hurriedly accidentally nudged onto someone's arm.

"Sorry, Sir. I didn't mean it, "sorry a little bit.

"Other times heart-ha ... Aline?" asked a man with a frown with a sign he was confused.

"Eh, Mas Rendi?"

"What are you doing here?" ask Rendi later.

"I work here now, Mas. Mas Rendi himself here?"

"My office is on the 9th floor."

"Ooh .... Mas Rendi works here too? Yes, yes, yes, my mother. I'm hustling. Sorry again accidentally," he said.

Aline walked in a hurry sometimes running small leaving the building area. While Rendi just stared at his departure questioningly. Soon he stepped towards the elevator which happened to be back open. Rendi headed to his office, the 9th floor where the finance section was located.

Aline ran small towards the busway stop. This hour stop has begun to be crowded by employees who work in the morning shift. Arriving at the destination, Aline walked towards her rented house which was not so far from the stop. Aline hastily takes a shower and prepares for Abah's resto.

Today was quite exhausting for Aline. How not, Abah restaurant is very crowded today. After Maghrib, Aline descends to be a waiter at the restaurant. Guests arrived until some of them were willing to queue to get a table and enjoy the special menu today. Alhamdulillahot.

Then by 9 pm until closing, Aline must be an impromptu barista for the cafe on the third floor because many young people who hang out just unwind to gather with friends. What an exhausting day. But he and all the employees at Abah resto are unceasingly grateful for these conditions, because that means their incentives will increase this month, God willing.

Aline walks towards her rented house after closing the restaurant with her other two friends. They walked in different directions because their homes were different. Aline placed the bag on a small table in the corner of the room. Take your pajamas and towels and walk to the bathroom. After taking a bath, Aline took her small agenda book and began to open pages per page. His eyes stopped on the small note "Thursday morning to Mr. Rahman's room!" Given his duties from Mr. Rahman, he was again struck by anxiety. The two divisions offered by Mr. Rahman made him interested in applying the knowledge he had learned. In his anxiety, Aline went to the bathroom, then ablaze. He will face his Lord, ask for guidance and choose the best for him.

After the prayer, Aline crawled to her single bed and immediately fell asleep until the dawn of prayer.

After performing the morning prayers and tadarusan, Aline headed to the kitchen to make breakfast and lunch today. Aline chose to make a sandwich bread and a glass of Sunkist juice for his breakfast menu and sped up shrimp with sweet asem fried meatballs and cucumber laxatives for lunch. After everything was done, Aline prepared to head for the office.

Aline's ride-hailing online taxi stopped right in front of the lobby of Atmaja Corp at 07:45. By saying basmalah Aline walked casually into his office building, greeting each other or just throwing a smile knot with some employees who happened to cross paths with him.

Arriving at her cubicle, Aline stored the bag into a desk drawer, turned on the computer and arranged maps containing materials that he would hand over with mbak Nita. Then Aline walked lightly to Rahman's room. He decided to wait for Rahman in the waiting room of HRD.

Five minutes Aline waited, Rahman entered his room. He asks Aline to follow him.

"Good morning, Aline. It seems to be very lively this morning" he said starting their meeting.

"Good morning, sir. It should always be upbeat, sir, to gather positive energy."

"Remain .. correct .. I agree. Hows it? Have you chosen the next division?"

"Already, Sir!"

"Good, then what are your options?" tanyanya to the point.

"I chose the Engineering and Planning Division, sir."

Mr. Rahman just nodded. "Do you know the reason?" tanyanya.

"There's no specific reason, sir. Maybe because at the restaurant at this time I have more duty in bookkeeping and finance, so, in my opinion there is no harm in me trying another division," explained Aline honestly.

Mr. Rahman looked carefully at Aline's answer.

"Resto belongs to your foster parents?"

"Yes, sir."

"Oh so. I think it's not better if you're in the Accounting Division to further hone your skills?" his proposal.

"Maybe one day, sir. But not for now!" reject it while giving an unpleasant smile because it has rejected the proposal given.

"All right," he said later. "Monday you've been in charge of a new division, I hope you still give a good performance and give a positive aura there later."

"God willing, sir. I'll work fine!"

"Today Nita started working again. Finish the handover until tomorrow before the break. After the break, I'll introduce you to your new division."

"Good Sir. Is there anything I need to prepare for again, sir?"

"No, nothing."

"Well then excuse me to go back to the room, sir!"

Mr. Rahman just nodded his head giving Aline permission to leave his room, like he was thinking about something. But Aline ignored him.

Right about to reach the door handle, Mr. Rahman again said "Rosaline!" call him.

"Yes, Sir?" instantly Aline realized what had just happened. He was silent in place. Seeing the girl sculpting, Rahman then voiced.

"Come and sit down again!" her word.

Aline turned around and sat back on the chair she had been sitting on stiffly. His face was pale as if it was not covered with blood. Aline sat up agitatedly. Mr. Rahman who realized the restlessness of the girl in front of him just silently looked at the girl, enjoying a troubled and fearful look in front of her.

"Baa-pak know me?" tanyanya. "How can you?" continued.

Mr. Rahman took a deep breath.

"Now I believe that you are Rosaline Tiocandra!", he said steadily.

Aline's getting pale. Just the crest of his nose was red as if his entire blood was just gathered there.

"I didn't know you, either, because you've grown into a full-grown, hijab-wearing woman. Time passed so quickly," he said as if staring into the past. "Until a few weeks ago I met accidentally with your parents in Sydney. Your mom told me everything. But it was my wife who recognized you when she accidentally saw you last Tuesday. Don't you remember us?" askalanya.

Aline seemed to remember this man before her, but the results were nil, then she shook her head in embarrassment. "Sorry, Sir. I forgot," he said then while scratching his nape which was not itchy at all.

"Om guessed it. What about Aunty Jesslin, my wife?"

Aline reflex patting her eel. "Sorry Om. I don't know Oom and Auntie. It's been a long time" he replied.

"Yes, it's been a long time since you first went to Aussy, about 9 years ago".

"How is Aunty Jessy? I don't know if I'm back in Indonesia."

"Alright, Thank God everything is good. Yes, our family came back about 3 years ago. Only Brian was still in Sydney continuing his studies. While Erick and Xander are married and settled in Surabaya and Denpasar," the story goes.

"Oh .. so. Hhmmm, regarding my identity..."

"Yes, Oom understands. Om will keep it secret about you both in this company and from your family. But on one condition."

"Condition?"

"Yes. Your mother's health condition has been unstable since your departure last year. If Om feels that your presence can improve the condition of your mother, then Om himself will bring you back to Batam. After all, your mom is still Om's family. I love him even though we are distant cousins. Youunderstand?"

"Yes, Om. There will be a time when I will return. But not yet at this time. Thanks for understanding, Om."

"alright. It's Om's business card. Call Om if you need anything!"

"Good, Om."

"Now go back to your room and prepare yourself for your new division" Rahman said back to HRD Manager mode.

"Good, Sir!"

Aline left Mr. Rahman's room with a shunt step. Apparently, it was Aunty Jessy who recognized him. Aunty Jessy loved her so much because they had no daughters. At the beginning of college in the kangaroo continent, Aline did live with the family of Om Rahman. But at that time, he was rarely at home because of his work so it was only natural that Aline did not recognize his maternal distant cousin.
