Githa's Love Story

Meaning of PELITA Group

Bismillah.inner Githa as she enters the Building together with Merlin.

It's Githa's second day at work. Yesterday he didn't come home because he didn't want people to worry about seeing the scars on his face. He called asking for permission to stay at Merlin's house and for various reasons his grandmother finally allowed him.

In Merlin's room..

"Does every day secretary have to go to work early? It's still six o'clock and we're working on it." Ask Githa who is still sleepy. He had trouble sleeping last night. He always does if he doesn't sleep in his room. Uneasily.

"No, no, hehe.. I just don't want Mr. Dhika to come before me." replied Merlin.

"Oh so. Ummm.. I have something to say mbak. Frankly I am only a graduate of Elementary School, this is also my first experience working. I noticed a lot of work yesterday. I was wondering if I could replace the position here." explained Githa, looking down.

"Sir, I am also only a graduate of Junior High School. I started working here as an assistant to Mr. Roni. Mr. Roni was a personal assistant and secretary to Mr. Dhika. One day Mr. Roni fell ill due to fatigue taking care of the Company and also the personal affairs of Mr. Dhika. After that incident Mr. Dhika decided to appoint me as his secretary and Mr. Roni only takes care of Mr. Dhika's personal affairs." explained Merlin at length.

"Huh? Seriously mbak? But I look professional." said Githa amazed.

"Hehe.. I will be training like I used to. Here the University just three people are Mr. Dhika, Pak Roni and Mas Bayu. The rest are just graduates of SD, Junior High School and High School" explained Merlin again.

Githa only gawked at Merlin's explanation. All this time he thought Dhika accepted it work because they were little friends.

"I used to ask Mr. Roni why the applicants who received were only graduates of High School down. Though many people who are experienced and the best University graduates who apply here. And the reason really makes me touched mbak." said Merlin again.

"What is the reason why?" ask Githa curiously.

"Because Mr. Dhika wants people who drop out of school can also work in offices like everyone else. Mr. Dhika wants to prove that his company can progress even though it employs people with educational backgrounds like us. Mr. Dhika did all this too because he had a little friend who dropped out of school. Therefore the name of this company PELITA G*****group. Which means hope for people who drop out of school but have high ideals." explained Merlin with a smile and warm grip Githa's hand.

Githa was just speechless. His feet felt limp as if they were boneless. It turns out that Dhika has been remembering it all along. Her tears fell, unable to hold her. He was moved, Dhika has a very noble heart. He regretted that he had hated Dhika all this time.

"Mister, you're okay, right? Why crying?" merlin was confused.

Merlin returned Githa's embrace. He also cried when he listened to Mr. Roni's explanation about PELITA Group.

Dhika arrived shortly. Merlin and Githa let go of his embrace. As usual, Merlin immediately greeted. But he was shocked when suddenly Githa immediately rushed to hug Dhika. The security who saw the incident swiftly approached wanted to get rid of Githa. But Dhika shook her head in a sign of no objection and hinted her to return to her original place.

"I'm sorry Dhik, I'm sorry." said Githa Lirih while continuing to hug Dhika.

Dhika who was still confused returned Githa's embrace while rubbing her shoulders.
