I'm Just an Ordinary Widow

First day of work

"Thank you sir" I said after the security guard received my big suitcase. I was so relieved this morning, Adam was like a super hero to me. Ah no, superhero number 3 after Abah and my late husband.

I took my foot off, got into the big company in this town. Feels ? Dag dig dug for sure. I headed to Ria's room at her request last night.

"Airin of the Orange Sky? Is this really her name?" ask Ria's mom

"Yes ma'am right, call her Orange at home" I replied with a slight smile.

"Alright Orange, I forgot to tell you last night. You're not in the development and planning section"

Huh huh? whahuh? what do I keep working on? do not let his position be inferior, O God.

"Because, one thing and another. You are chosen to be the Secretary of the President Director. Who chose it? That's me alone. Because Mr Dirut does not like women who are too young to be her secretary" said Bu Ria made me round my eyes do not believe Hah ? really do?

"Yes..." Not a word came out of my mouth, Miss Ria cut it off. He wagged his index finger, hinting me to be quiet.

"Don't cut my talk! The secretary of the President resigned sooner than expected. His reason? Because she was pregnant young, and was afraid of her baby for nothing. Because? Mr. Dirut has a bad temper, that is also the reason he does not want to choose a woman too young to be her secretary. To recruit new ones? There's no time, Mr. Dirut needs a secretary right now. I hope , you become a resilient secretary yes" he said as he patted my shoulder, The reality I received this morning is very bitter. Hearing the story alone has made me tremble, what if I face him directly. I want to ask you more, but it looks like Miss Ria still wants to explain a few things.

"Concidentally, the personal assistant of the President Director is on leave. THEN !" Athaghfirullah surprised me. Bu Ria confirmed the word Maka? which means there will be a new burden on me.

"Then the colonization of the world must be abolished, hehehe.. I rubbed my chest in relief.

"Eh don't be so cool, your personal assistant is on leave. Then you should replace him as long as he hasn't returned. Your assignment? Catch the second job, in your office become a secretary. After work hours you become a Personal Assistant, Mr. Dirut which means.. You will follow him wherever he goes, take care of his needs, and so on. You're only allowed to go home if Mr. Dirut has allowed you"

O Allah, I want to cry, to go home. Honestly, I was very upset, the question I was going to ask Ria's mom just collapsed after I got the statement.

"Your salary is 8x greater than the position you will initially occupy. Hope you feel at home, oh yes hopefully we can also be good friends. Passion for your son" Ria's mother was greeting me, but how did she know I had a child?

"Night I follow your Instagram, I check all posts. I also know you are a single parent. Yes already Orange want me to take you to the room Mr Dirut? Oh, I forgot to tell you his name. Tengku Raihan Khairi pangil aja Pak Raihan" I also nodded, I'm really happy if Miss Ria will really be my first friend in the office. Looks like she's a humorous woman, quite able to make me unwind.

Ms. Ria gave me an identity card, to get into the barrier to the elevator. Only the owner of the identity can enter through the barrier because there are sensors that we have to pass by attaching the identity card.

I watched Ms. Ria carefully, we headed to the 59th floor where the President Director and Vice's room were located.

Ms. Ria knocked on the door of the room, then the voice of the Man inside ordered us to enter.

Ms. Ria opened the door slowly, she intended to introduce me officially to Mr. Raihan but was pushed aside.

"Just leave, let me ask you myself" It was really an instant that this room became icy cold. Miss Ria left us both in the room. I dare not look at my boss on this one. If there's a choice, I'd better get a general salary but not have to deal with it. Can it be God?

"Airin of the Orange Sky?" He mentioned my name with his baritone voice, his burly arms crossed in front of his chest

"Yes sir" I ventured forward. I admit, this boss of mine is very handsome but with his cold attitude. How could I possibly endure working with him for so long?

"Why is that your body? You think this is military education?" As I softened like a nutrijell, I wanted to feel like I was shaking my own head. Embarrassing ! huaaaaaa*biz*. I screamed in my heart

"Alright Airin, I think Miss Ria has told me about your work. Are you ready?" he asked, He called me Airin, like my late husband. I let it because honestly to refute the goods in a word I did not dare.

"Of course you're ready sir" Can I refuse? I've brought a suitcase. If I lose my job, we can cry bombay.

"Actually your desk is that" Mr. Raihan pointed to the table that was right in front of his room, of course visible from the inside because the door was made of glass. "But now you're being joined, while you're sitting there. At my assistant's desk, so that you can more easily help my work" I just nodded according to Mr. Raihan's orders.

As he said, I sat on the throne in the meantime. I started turning on the computer in front of me, the first command that Mr. Raihan gave was to memorize things that could and should not be done while with him. It was prepared by his assistant before he left, he said. After I read them one by one, I felt that the writing was endless. I wonder how many things there are, I just scroll down to the end.

Astagfirullah 443 list? what's this much for? I was just a temporary assistant.

I want to cry, cry. I don't know what God planned on my fate. I decided to be patient with all of this.

Did not feel already entering the dzuhur time, I want to ask permission to Pak Raihan to perform my worship coincidentally this is already a break.

"Pe. perm. excuse me sir" It feels like I want to shake my own head, why should I be nervous talking to Mr. Raihan.

"Hmmmm?" That handsome face looked up at me

"It's a break"

"Then? You want to eat? I haven't allowed it yet" answered Ketus

"Not sir, I want to pray" I bowed my head timidly he scolded me.

"Oh, did you bring a face ?" I shook my head, I completely forgot. My mum is in the suitcase.

"One floor with a canteen, it's a pretty big mosque. You pray there, there is also a prayer there. If you can start tomorrow just bring the face, put it there" Mr. Raihan pointed to the Glass Partition in his room. Apparently Raihan prayed in his room.

Then I say goodbye and walk away from Mr. Raihan's room.

I got off in a special employee elevator, headed to the 15th floor where the canteen was located. I immediately went to the mosque to fulfill my duty, after which I went to the cafeteria to calm my pet, the hehe worm.

I immediately went to the queue line, after my turn I directly attached the identity card on the sensor, then chose the menu on the screen by touching it. This is a real touchscreen restaurant. Not like in the warteg !! Hahaa .

I would love to say that from the mouth of my village, but I can still hold it.

I chose the most corner seat, from here it is very clear view of the capital city because the whole wall is completely of glass.

arrive Prokkkk!!!

Someone patted me on the shoulder, leaving me shocked to death.

"empty?" Ask the woman to me

"That orange yesterday?" Ask again, I remember she was my rival when I had a job interview yesterday.

"Yes, Dina huh?" My broom

"No, I'm Fia's sister, it's Dina. Here Din" Fia's hand waved towards Dina, my other rival.

"I don't think you're welcome sister" he said plainly

"I didn't know Fi either"

"Sister" Sapa Dina to me then sat down next to me.

"So we're getting everybody?" Plain ask

"Yes, but Dina's head of marketing" replied Fia

"What part of the brother?" Ask Dina

"You know I'm telling you you guys don't believe me" I sighed before speaking again "Sekertaris Pak Raihan" My words made both eyes glare in disbelief.

"Sister !????? Seriously?"

I just nodded slowly reassuringly, until finally our ordered food arrived. We gobbled it up to the toilet, and we decided to exchange numbers. Dina proposes to create a group in whatsapp. And Me? just follow.

Dina named her group "Fighters Receh" Makes me laugh, The group consists of 3 members. Me, Fia and Dina let's hope we become good friends, and always get along.

The hour of rest was almost over, The three of us split up right then and there. I left the cafeteria, headed for Raihan's room.

I see that Raihan's sir is not on his desk, maybe he's praying. I found the post it stuck on the computer. "Airin, learn this. All these files. This will help ease your work" I realized there was apparently a stack of 20cm tall maps. So much, God? I can't complain anyway. This is my fortune, I must be passionate for Kinanti and family at home.

I continued my activities, Raihan sir left me in the room alone. No time to show at 5pm.

"You're coming with me" Mr. Raihan ordered me.

I just nodded, thinking about how I could find a hostel at this hour. Mr. Raihan got into the president's special elevator, I stopped my steps.

"Rain rin? Here in!" His orders with a murderous look, as if he did not want to be denied. I followed him, followed Raihan sir to the ground floor.

Mr. Raihan opened the door for himself, again I could only follow him.

"Sit in front, you think I'm a driver!!!" His orders when he saw me open the back door, I just didn't feel good sitting side by side with him. Sitting in the back is not the right choice. No one likes to linger to be his secretary. It was as bad as his temperament.

"Sir, my suitcase is in the security guard post" I said carefully.

"Why bring Rin's suitcase?"

"I all want to find a place to live actually sir, my Mother's house with an office is a good distance . If it does not stop, it can be up to 2 hours"

"Want to find the apartment where you are?"

"My money isn't enough sir" Astaghfirullah, the apartment is expensive sir. I can only say it in my heart.

"You want a paycheck up front? where's your account number, I'm transferring right now"

"Don't sir, I'm afraid there's nothing"

"Whatwhat how? do you want to stop working? not willing? huh uh?" Fiery speech. True said Miss Ria, the temperament of Mr. Raihan is very bad, I can not imagine how the woman who became his lover.

"No sir, I don't make music.."

"Where is your account number?" Being too afraid to argue with her I just thought of giving her my account number, I showed it on my phone. Then Mr. Raihan started transferring using m-banking.

After that my phone vibrated, Mr. Raihan started driving his car slowly.
