GOODBYE
36. So how?
“I was surprised by Mr. Kas..” said Enci, at one time.
“Why, Ci?” ask Akas.
For a moment Enci smiled, “Nothing, just a wonder. It looks like Mr Kas is very loyal, yes?”
“Wah, how loyal is this?” Quick reply mesem.
“Setia totally her job here.”
“Hehehe...., what do you mean, Ci? Employees must be loyal to their work. Does Enci want to have unfaithful workers?”
Enci laughed back softly. “What Mr Kas does not think to make your own business?” he continued to ask.
Shocked Akas, “What do you mean?”
“Ngak. Yes it was, did Mr Kas not want to have his own business? Make an effort like this for example? Kan, Mr Kas already understands this-it?”
I stared at his boss. What's the matter? Smells like something's hidden? Want to play politics as sweet as banished, right?
But, Enci laughed again...
“Don't get me wrong, Mr. Kas. I don't mean anything, just wonder. But, if Mr. Kas really wants to be here, good. Actually, I thank you very much,” he said, as if knowing that flashed in the mind of Akas just now.
I sighed, then smiled. It felt in, too quickly bad to think. Cook yes Enci who has been good to him has no-no intentions? If there really is, why not from yesterday-yesterday only repent? That's easy, he has it.
“Eem, frankly I don't understand what Enci means. What, anyway?” ask Akas, finishing up the curiosity. All of them remove the remaining prejudice.
“Ah, cook Mr Kas do not understand?”
“lya..,” Akas nodded.
Mangosteen mangosteen. “Begini, Mr. Kas, in my opinion, people do not normally like to be subordinates. One heart, he must want to be a superior. In fact, furthermore, want to be an owner. This I think you know, if Mr. Kas disagrees, it's okay. That's why I never hold back employees who want to resign. Especially if you back off for something better. Better his position, higher his salary, or want to open his own business. Many of my former employees are so,” he said.
Akas....
“Moreover if China, Mr. Kas. No one wants to be an employee for a long time. So the employee is the goal of learning. Search sciences. If they have enough knowledge, they make their own efforts. Not everything, but most of it is. Including me first, hehehe.... Tuh, the AKim, when the time must have passed. Escape from me who is clearly tantenya,” continued Enci, mesem.
“Ah Cook, Ci?”
Enci laughed softly. “Pak Kas see later. That's not the wrong thing. Frankly, I am even happy that AKim dared to make such a decision. If not, it's okay. Just, the class is mediocre, not special.”
“Lha if Ko AKim makes a bread factory as well, is Enci not a competitor later?” ask Akas.
“Hehehe...., what is competition? Who still likes to play rival reasons, means not yet spirited entrepreneur. That rival..., what is it? Something that is already so. Something not to worry about anymore. Not nothing, real exist. Only rivals are too much of a burden, too much to think about. It's natural, it's so from there. Try, how many bread factories are here?”
Akas mentioned the number of bakeries he knew in Magelang.
“All the way, right? I know the rivals, they know me. But, we are not enemies because of rivals, hehehe.... Business is business, friends are friends. Relax me because each one has his share.”
Mangosteen-grip. “In that case, Ko AMeng and Ci Alin will later escape also from Enci?” he asked, mentioning the two names of the children of Enci who worked in this bakery.
“One of them, yes. It should be so, or this factory is halved.”
“Can't it be taken care of together?”
“There are those who can, only most fail. Usually, if there are two heads, even busy patuk-patukan. Good thing, one body one head. One head, that's okay too. Do not have a body of many heads. Runyam.”
“But not everyone has business talent, Ci? Not everyone can trade...,” Akas invites debate, let it be exciting.
“Ah, who says?”
“Lho, right? Many examples of that. Me, for example..”.
“Hehehe..., it is up to Mr. Kaslah. Only, if I say, actually everyone is a trader. Is Mr Kas not aware that he is trading now? Is there a business with me?”
Akas jerked, “What's up?"
“Mind, power, and time. I buy everything in front, pay it later at the end of the month, hehehe..”.
Akas jerked again. Yeah, too, huh? Perceived, it's like this.
“But, Ci, this isn't it an Enci?” kayak trade he berkilah.
“Clearly different dong. This one has nothing to lose?”
“Hahaha..,” si Enci laughs loosely. It was so good to hear this laugh.
“Why, Ci?” chase the “manager”.
“No, it's okay. Ah, I don't have the heart.”
“Wah, excuses are unacceptable. Why the hell, Ci? What is my trading loss, yes?”
“No, no. Mediocre,” Enci mangeh again.
“Ci...,” Akas demands answers.
Enci smiled for a moment.
“Eem, how, huh? Go back to their views. Only, if I say, explained Mr. Kas who holds a position of loss in our business. That is to say, fortunately gedenya in me, hehehe.... But, like I said, it depends on each point of view. This is not a common view that applies equally to everyone. Each is free to choose. Anyway, I'm happy with the same business Mr. Kas. Really. You see, it's profitable, hehehe..”.
Akas. Wait a minute, a minute....
“Yes, Mr Kas?” Enci mesem tease.
“Rada-rada yes, Ci?” akas replied, somewhat muttering.
Enci further mesem, “Already ah, so it doesn't feel good to me. Later Mr. Kas so it is no longer profitable for me..”.
“Stay, Ci. So, what's the truth about this?”
“All is right, because this is not about right or wrong. Like that, it depends on how exactly according to each. So, all is worth right, nothing is wrong. For those of us who are Chinese, most think so. Maybe because the Chinese are difficult applicants to become civil servants, so on being entrepreneurs.”
Akas smiled now, “I also bleed China.” he said slowly.
“Hah” Enci startled “Pak This Cash is No Cinanya’”
Akas grimaced, then nodded, “Chinese mother, Javanese father”
During this time, Enci did not know the origin of Akas. Don't feel the need to know. Enough just by name and that she was recommended by Kyai half-baked. Already, that's all. To him, what matters is the reality of the person. Others, considered simply variations.
“Hehe.... Quick ..,” Enci laughs softly.
“Worthy why, Ci?”
“Befit Mr. Kas persevering and tenacious like China. Her mother is Chinese original?”
Akas nodded, “My grandmother's grandfather from mother, China both. They're trading, they have a gold shop. In the past, my mother also traded batik.”
“Want, hehehe...”.
"Well, why else, Ci?”
“Ngak ah, later offended..”.
"Well, cook wear offended everything? Why the hell, Ci?”
“Totally?”
Akas nodded. Also, curious as well.
“Eem, sometimes Mr. Kas's eyes still look Chinese. Especially if you are grimacing. Honestly, I used to think maybe. Turns out, it really is.”
I laughed softly. Remembering Mr. Kasim, his father Arabi, who had told him this many years ago
“So, what is this Chinese opinion?” fishing rod Enci, while mesem.
Gnarly grimacing, “No idea, Ci. Confused me..”
“Hehehe,.,., Please decide for yourself, I do not follow ah. Worried wronged the same Asih,” chirped Enci, then mengelonyor out of the workspace “managernya” while continuing to chuckle slowly.
Akas drifting grimaced. Duh, how does he suddenly feel so want business, huh? I want to have my own business, that is. But can it? Is there talent in him? In the past, the sale of batik was proven to fail miserably. If it fails again, how?
I don't know...
