Dying While Dreaming
First Love Boss
Toni was talking to Sani in her office. Some of the files from the meeting had to be signed by Toni. Business affairs, Sani is deft. He doesn't like to buy time. Not until 10 minutes, all the files have been brought to Toni's room. He is also an honest person. But unfortunately, at the age of 27, Sani is still single. At first glance, his looks are ordinary. But if it is stylish, Sani can also be said to be cool. Moreover, his body was tall and his skin was pure white. For 4 years he worked at Public Consulting Tarumansoon.
“Oke fits everything. I signed first yes,” Toni said after finishing reading the file given by Sani and took the pen on her desk.
“Good sir,” says Sani.
“You are fast too yes it works. Usually I always deal with Lulu,” Toni said while signing the files one by one.
“I don't like to buy time sir. If I can work immediately then I will immediately work,” Sani said to his boss who sat in front of him.
Toni's done signing all the papers. It didn't take long because the signature was so simple. Just like his leadership that does not have many complicated rules. For him, all employees quite complete their respective work. If there is a mistake, then it is not anger that he did. Instead, he will call the officer who made the mistake to his room and he gave advice. Tony is not a science whimper either. In fact, he always brings in professionals to train all his employees according to their respective fields. This training will be done periodically and routinely if there are employees who really need the training. That is the reason why this company has a service rate that is not cheap. Because there are extra costs that must be incurred to make employees really qualified.
But the 40-year-old man was just an ordinary human being who did not escape worldly greed. Although he is basically a good and generous person, if the money business he will advance at the front. His friendly attitude and
relaxed towards subordinates, making him still liked even though everyone knows Toni is a double eye. Especially after having an affair with Siska, Toni had to raise more money to meet her lover's request.
“Preserve your performance yes Sani,” pinta Toni.
The door of the room suddenly opened and Siska gawked inside. His movements were fast to the point of not seeing any Sani inside. Siska was already half-screaming as her body was still about to close the door.
“Mas Toni, I do not agree with the decision..” his hard-pitched speech was not continued when his eyes saw Sani who was silent staring at him.
“Siska, what's up?” toni said a little stammered because it was not good with the existence of Sani.
“Sorry, I come back later,” Siska said with a wrong attitude.
“Pak Toni I think we're done. Excuse me first yes sir,” said Sani quickly and immediately stood up.
Siska who was still waiting at the end of the door silently stared for a moment.
“Excuse me mbak Siska,” Sani said then came out.
“Ya,” says Siska briefly.
Siska then sat down in front of Toni who looked relaxed facing Siska. He knew that Siska would be angry with him. Force his will and make Toni melt when his will is not obeyed.
“Mas hope you can keep your attitude in the office. You can't act with such booming emotions!” toni said firmly.
“I know the time in the meeting was trying to make me jealous of the facilities given to Claire. It was intentional, right? Gave me first class flight while I bussines class. Then allowance money up to a total of millions in a day, while I?” said Siska fiery.
“Who's been insinuating first? Why do you say about the friend in front of you has a fake mask. You insinuate mas right? Do you want Siska?” ask Tony in annoyance.
“I don't like to see Toni's mas being nice to her. I am the senior. This case should be handled by me. Even if it is a recommendation from Mr. Ridwan. I can tell you that I'm the only one who's competent! And now I love him super luxurious facilities,” said Siska angrily.
Fortunately, Toni's glass door is made of thick glass and soundproof and does not look from the outside. Otherwise, the entire servants would have been able to hear the fierce fight between the dark lovers.
“Mas is a confidant of Mr. Ridwan. If you don't agree with her recommendation and recommend you, but if you can't solve the case well, who will be blamed?”
“Oh, so mas has been doubting me all along? Claire is better than me? I worked for 8 years at this company. Never ask about my greatness!” siska said grumpily.
“Siska, you're always just emotional. It's not underestimating you. But that would be if, if, if, if, you could not finish. But that doesn't mean I doubt you. If not Claire who was asked by sir
Ridwan, I definitely submit this case to you kok,” said toni trying to believe Siska.
“Again we have agreed on our plan to thwart Claire. Only then will you take over. I think we have a voice about this. Why are you worrying again?” toni.
Siska tried to calm herself down by taking a breath without opening her mouth. He didn't want to see Toni's face.
“What have I been doing all that for myself? This is for you too. To quell all your thirst for luxury goods. What have I not given you all this time? You ask for branded bags, I buy them, ask for a luxury car, I love even though I have to repay 3 times. The coin is in your name again. I want to travel abroad, I pay. Did Claire get that from me?” beber Toni was a little upset.
"You see! The car Claire used 2 years ago, it was a new car but just a regular car. And not on his behalf. If he no longer worked here, the car would not belong to him. Then what are you jealous of a Claire?" ask Ridwan astonished.
“But mas have not bought the house I want,” said Siska.
“That can't be Siska. If I buy you a house, you'll bring all your family. Then you let your husband stay in this house of your affair? Mas think it's already over the limit,” says
Toni.
“What's the difference with our relationship now? We have a love affair, we kiss, we are attracted to each other. What kind of limitations do you mean?” siska.
“Siska we just kiss no more than that. I never fucked you. Because we know even though our actions are wrong but there are still limits that we must obey. Until when our relationship
will run?” toni said lightly.
“Meanway? Why are you talking about it?” siska asked in an angry tone.
“You ever think our relationship can last until when? Are we going to be like this forever?” ask Toni.
“Why not!" siska said with complete confidence.
“Siska, I'm an ordinary man. Ordinary man. Sometimes I imagine how happy I would be if I had a wife and children. I went home, there was a little boy who welcomed me and a boy
wife who is waiting for me complete with delicious dishes,” Toni said sambi daydreaming.
“I can divorce my husband right now! If that's what you want!” said Siska.
“Not, that's not what you want. You're wrong!” toni.
Toni's eyes looked up. It was like dreaming of something.
“Mas, Mas Toni!” call Siska.
“Ya,” said Toni who realized from her daydream.
This time Toni looked at Siska deeply as if Siska was the woman she loved so much. His mind floated while still sitting in college.
A woman with an ayu face was running into the campus gate. The woman with an ayu face was wearing a high school uniform complete with typical ospek prints. Hat from the basin, necklace from
corn skin, face scribbled with charcoal, and bags of burlap. His eyes are straight ahead. He continued to run even though his breath was already wheezing. His steps came to a halt while he was in the middle of a field filled with people dressed like him.
“Sorry my sister is late,” said the woman named Kania to her senior.
“Emang why is it late?” said a senior girl named Anggi.
“I woke up late sister,” said Kania still with irregular breath.
“Capek yes?” ask Anggi again.
“Iya kak,” said Kania who kept his head down earlier.
“So you're late because of bad luck? Uh, look at the others not on bad luck,” said Anggi while pointing to dozens of new students/i in front of him.
Anggi took toa and started talking to all ospek participants. He asked Kania to stand beside him.
“Make you all listen to me! Look at the person next to me this is one bad example even very bad. He was undisciplined because he came late on bad luck grounds. Remember that! We didn't
accept the reason for bad luck as the reason you are late to come here. Understood!” yell Anggi.
“Understanding brother!” yelled all ospek participants.
“Now he must be punished as his guilt-redeemer. What kind of punishment is appropriate for him?” yelled Anggi and asked the ospek participants.
Some of the participants were asked to sing, dance, read poetry, and surround the field. The seniors discussed and agreed to have Kania sing.
“OK we have agreed that he will sing for us. Free to sing anything. If until the sound is not good, then he will we punish even heavier!” yell Anggi with Toa.
“Nyanying, singing, singing, singing, singing!” yelled all the participants told Kania.
Kania swallowed his saliva. His breathing is now beginning to be regular.
“Let's you sing for us. It's mic. Keep us entertained yes,” said Anggi while handing over a mic.
“Kak, can I drink first yes. You're thirsty to run away earlier,” pinta Kania.
“Iya,” said Anggi briefly.
Kania took a bottle of drinking water and drank a few sips of water in it. A man walked towards the ospek committee carrying a map. The man disobeyed Anggi.
“Where to?” ask the man who looks neat using the yellow alma mater.
“Faith. That's all late. We have to make a song,” said Anggi while pointing to Kania who was still gulping water.
The man was Toni, chairman of the committee ospek Faculty of Communication. Yes, he is Toni, President Director of Public Consulting Tarumanegara. Toni is ready to listen to Kania sing.
“Test, test,” says Kania using mic in her hand. His voice echoed.
Kania took a breath, all silent as if waiting for a singer to hum.
“The world is not over, if you decide me. Still many of my friends here accompany me,” singing Kania with a slow tempo.
Toni was amazed by the melodious voice of Kania, as well as other ospek participants and organizers. Kania repeats her singing with the same lyrics but with a faster tempo. The song at the beginning was just an intro. Kania smiles and looks happy everyone is like waiting for him to finish the song titled World Hasn't Ended from Shaden's band.
“The world is not over, if you decide me. Many of my friends are with me here. The world is not over, if you decide me. My face is also not very ugly, Some want. I was thinking, I think it's better that I step aside...”sing Kania who continues to sing even while swaying a little.
The song that was trending at that time made all ospek participants unconsciously sing along with Kania. The atmosphere of the ospek that was tense was now melting.
“Thank you,” Kania said as she finished singing with a smile.
“Good also the sound. Entertained 'em!” ask Anggi from behind toa to all ospek participants.
“Terhibuuurrr,” shouted all ospek participants.
“Oke, you get into line!” anggi's orders to Kania.
“Iya kak,” said Kania as he ran towards the ospek participant line and mingled with them.
Meanwhile, far across from Kania there was a man who was amazed by him. What's-her-name? The question floated in Toni's mind. He still saw Kania far ahead of him. His smile can be confirmed as a smile in love. Not just falling in love, but falling in love for the first time. Toni has never been in a relationship with any woman before. Toni is inversely proportional to Ridwan who is a playboy.
But the daydream was spoiled when Siska held onto Toni's cheeks and shook them violently.
“Mas Toni, mas, mas, mas Toniii,” call Siska many times.
Toni wakes up from her past. Not finished the story, but later Toni will definitely continue her daydream with Kania. There is love, tragedy, and betrayal in the story.
“Sory. I just thought about what we were talking about,” said Toni reasoned.
“We have to finish this conversation. Anyway I want to continue the same mas Toni,” said Siska.
“OK, okay. But please leave the mas alone now. We'll talk again, Please!” please Toni to Siska.
“Ya. I'm out now. Lunch later with ya. See you in the cafeteria,” said Siska then moved on.
Toni nodded and replied slowly.
“OK,” says Toni.
Toni thought back to Kania. Her chest was full of longs. No one knows what is in his heart. Everything he covers with his attitude that always looks no burden. Who would have thought that the grizzled man had still kept one name in his heart for almost half his age. He never forced me to forget or remember. But there was always something that made him think of Kania.
“Kania. Where are you now?” toni said softly as she stared far out the window.
