I FINALLY FOUND YOU
“Be careful, yes, Mas. Bye ...” Kinanti waved at Surya. The man smiled from behind the wheel while replying to his wife's wishes. Surya turned his car back out of the building yard. Kinanti was still standing on the steps of the lobby until the husband's car completely disappeared from view.
Suddenly from behind, his hand was held by someone so the curly haired woman was shocked
“Udah, do not need to be glued mulu. Your husband won't be!” chirps Bena. Kinanti's best friend and colleague invited her in.
They greeted the friendly security who was in front of the entrance. Afterwards, the two walked towards the presence attendance machine located to the left of the lobby.
“Bentar, Kin. Wefie in front of this machine first,” said Bena. He pulled out his phone and took pictures of them.
Seen Kinanti's slightly anxious expression with the employee queue at the back . “Yes, Bena. Not as good as the ones that are in line, nih!”
“Bentaran aja, kok. We're celebrating your first day officially as a real editor. One ... two ... three ... cheers.”
They took pictures with the sweetest smiles. The two walked giggling after swiping the ID card, then towards the third floor of the place where their routine was running.
GrewMedia Publisher Building located in the Sudirman area is a three-story building designed with an open concept. The first floor is used for galleries and bookstores. The two floors above measuring 20x40 meters are a major part of all editorial and staff activities.
About two hundred meters behind the main building, stands a solid building covering an area of two thousand square meters and serves as a printing process of books that have passed proofreading.
The top floor is a special place where the head and assistant parts of each division are in charge. The interior design on the third floor is dominated by translucent glass so that all the activities of the employees and the outside view of the building can be seen. Half the area of the room is further blocked into ten small rooms with doors of different colors. The names and positions of the publishers are also written.
Kinanti was still a little nervous in front of her new room. Until yesterday, he was still working in the cubicle in the front room. Now, after three years as an assistant editor, his struggle is not in vain. “Kinanti Ayu” “Editor”, writing now hanging on the door leaf of his room.
Finally, I am also in this position, Kinanti said in her heart.
His gaze swept the room in a pastel tone. He put the bag and leaned his body on the work chair. Moments after that, Bena's head poked out from behind the door that was not closed.
“Kin, five more minutes of editorial meeting begins. Ayook, game!” bring the 32-year-old girl.
As one of the senior illustrators at GrewMedia Publisher, Bena was indeed a career first compared to Kinanti.
“Oh, Okay. Wait a minute, I take notes first,” said Kinanti was still a little nervous.
They walked to the meeting room. Seven out of ten representatives of each division were present. Bena immediately sat in the main staff line. Meanwhile, Kinanti stood by the wall with the assistant division heads as usual.
“Hai, Kinanti! Here, sit here!” Sarah patted the empty chair on her right side. Sarah was one of Kinanti's co-workers who served as editor for five years at the publisher.
Gegas, Kinanti walked over and sat down beside him.
“Why are you standing there? Forgot, yes, if now it is a real editor,” added Sarah in a friendly tone.
Kinanti only smiled, then drowned in the empty chatter. The atmosphere of the room was a little noisy suddenly silent when a woman entered down the table that extends in the middle of the room.
Not long after, a boob-haired lady sebahu entered the room. A red stiletto sounded bouncing off his deft steps. The black kulot was mixed with a red blazer, making it the center of attention. The woman then sat down right next to Rosalina, then removed the Bulgari glasses that had been framed on her face.
Amira Athalia, senior editor, swept a glimpse of all the editors present. His haughty look dominated the entire room. Most of those present looked flatly at him, not least Kinanti.
For a moment their views clashed, then both threw their faces in different directions. Although never fought frontally, Kinanti and Amira like involved rivalry. Especially with the promotion of the position of Kinanti to be an editor and have a room next to his room, a sign of Mira— dislike so often he is called—makin clear.
“Alright without being long, I will start discussing the editorial meeting this time which specifically discusses our contract offer with the author of Right Man,”, Rosalina said.
Everyone present was seriously listening to Rosalina. Some of them held small notebooks to copy important points at today's meeting, including Kinanti.
Rosalina stood up, then walked towards the white screen that was behind her. The room instantly became dim. A projector shines a bluish beam and displays some of the author's power point data.
“As we know that the exclusive contract between Right Man and Universal Publisher has expired. Based on a post from the Right Man social media account a month ago, for this novel, he will give an opportunity to several major publishers to do a cooperation offer,” explained Rosalina seriously. The woman turned her eyes to Mira.
“Bu Mira, how do we follow up on the employment contract we submitted to Right Man? Any word from him?”
“No progress yet. The messages and e-mails I sent have not been responded to.” Mira replied with a view still pointing to the phone screen.
“Directions has held a meeting to discuss Right Man's contract. In person, I also got pressure from them to somehow have to get the exclusive contract. Especially as I saw in his latest post yesterday, when launching his third novel later, he will appear featuring his figure who has been mysterious. He is also willing to hold a fan meeting with all his readers. Therefore ....” Rosalina purposely paused on her remarks, then swept her gaze to all the staff present.
“I will challenge four Grewmedia editors to race to negotiate with Right Man. Whoever the editor who managed to get the contract, the position of deputy editor-in-chief will be given to him,” said Rosalina.
His gaze swept across all those present in full consideration.
The atmosphere of the meeting was immediately boisterous, they each discussed discussing the promotion of the position that was quite tempting.
“You don't want to try, Kin?” ask Bena. The girl was suddenly sitting next to him.
“Crazy, just became the official editor today. You don't see who my rival is? Noh ..!” Kinanti's mouth turned towards Mira. His eyes squinted to affirm Bena's disapproval of ideas.
“Yes, but this is your chance too, Kin. Three years as an assistant editor, continued because of the exclusive contract dapetin directly so wapemred. Uwww, mantep your real career, bye!” tukas Bena is encouraging.
Sarah, who was sitting next to them, only smiled hearing their conversation. As a nonfiction editor, he is not really interested in this. Especially if you have to compete with Mira, obviously he prefers to play safe.
The morning meeting was over two hours later. Mira went first accompanied by other staff who regularly went out of the meeting room.
Kinanti still notes some important points of material discussed, about other books that will be published and worked on in the next few months.
That clearly caught the attention of Rosalina, the editor-in-chief.
