I'm The Old Virgin

Chapters. 1 Rere

A very tiring day as always for a woman like Rere, she's a mature 32-year-old woman. Although the age is enough to get married but the status is still single. Although friends her age are married and have children but for Rere himself she is more comfortable with solitude.

He works in one of the Leading Banks in the country, he has a fairly calculated position.Yes Rere has a Manger position in the Operational section. She has also completed her education at the PHD level at a well-known university in Jakarta, if you look at the age, including women who are fast to achieve a career at that time.

Rere is a smart woman and for the job she includes a successful career woman even so Rere including women who are very independent since school and carried away until now. evident despite being busy Rere took the time to cook, wash and even iron his own work clothes then sweep and mop up the house of course with the schedule he made every day.

Rere is used to frugality, yes according to Rere rather than spending money for this it is better he did it himself. anyway era has been very modern. washing already there is a machine of its own. cooking was not bothered like the time of his mother who had to use wood or oil stoves. now you have to use a gas stove or electricity and to sweep and mop up there is a tool that Rere thinks is very simple and easy to do yourself. why he was throwing money just to hire people to help with homework that can still be done.

This morning as usual before getting out of bed at dawn, Rere before the shower and the morning prayers first thought about what he would do today. and the important thing is what he has to do. with the position of the knee that is bent and the hand is tightened to the legs and chin that touches the knee, Rere was silent on his bed while thinking a lot of things, that was Rere's routine after waking up.

After 5 minutes he got out of bed and headed to the bathroom to take a shower and ablaze. After praying he prepared toast with strawberry jam and milk.Then Rere prepared the bag with the contents that must be brought. what a shitty day for Rere because today is Monday, the first day of December.

"oh god why the flat tire" grumbled Rere while in the parking lot of his apartment.yes this is the second annoying thing according to him.

"i'm getting on the train"

And Rere decided to take the KRL train or busway, he did not want to use online transportation because according to Rere expensive.and again the day is still very early which means he can use ordinary transportation. he used KRL because the office was very close to the train station.

Arriving at the office, Rere went straight to the pantry there as a co-worker had also reached the office and was talking about a new year holiday with their families.Some were planning to go with their girlfriends, husbands, and friends, friends hanging out or with a big family. Rere only listened to colleagues prepare new year plans while using makeup and preparing for work.

"Bu Rere's new year's plans go where" asked Dina one of her co-workers asking. even though the age of 1 year above Rere and work first in comparison rere, it was done because Rere had a position above his. whereas Rere had forbidden him to mention it as such, it was done, he asks to call like that if it is a meeting or when the higher superior of Rere is with them. although Rere is a good friend in Dina but Rere is the manager at work, that's how in the world of senior and junior work sometimes do not know who will rise first.

"i'm not going anywhere in the morning, I'm going home to mom, I want to look at you" Rere replied with a smile.

Rere lives in Jakarta and rere's mother lives in one of the city's refuges only about 2 hours from her apartment in Jakarta.

"oh, there is no intention to hangout the same candidate" while smiling to ask things that already know the answer.

"hhm..gah has no candidate yet" replied Rere lazily.

"you don't have the intention of nyari and open your heart yes, don't keep busy working, the more days make our age increase.An important career but household is also important, the more important, sorry is not patronizing but we also need someone to complete our sometimes complicated day, and when we get older we need children and grandchildren to comfort us" she told Rere. the one in Nasehati is silent.

"don't get old when you're alone, I don't know what sadness makes Rere still decide for himself, even though you are beautiful, physically white, including the binders of men to deket, and you are, and in career and education is also quite wow, and bu Rere including smart women, certainly many who want to be close" added Rere

'please deh call Rere aja and do not be too formal to me if again both gini, uncomfortable hear him" replied Rere "but I say thank you for your advice touch to the heart of gw" continued his.

"hahaha, it's my boss Rere and this is the workplace" he said.

"Will you want me to know my husband or my college friends first, some are still single" he added.

"hhhmm. ga deh I want to find my own soul mate, although I do not know where he is but I believe someday I will meet him, I will meet him, and my solitude is not because of trauma because of experiencing sadness about love or because I focus on work but because I have not met my soulmate" explained Rere.

"ok deh I pray that Miss Rere finds the right man at the right time" Rere's prayer sounded sincere.

"Thank you Rere. I've finished makeup, I'm going to go to the room I first yes" Rere permission to dina.

"ok you going to take a break or eat in the pantry? " ask dina

"i brought provisions, so I had lunch in the pantry" Rere replied with a smile and was shaken head with a smile, smiling, dina knew her best friend was very frugal and manage her finances because it was natural in addition to working at the bank Rere also has clothing and hijab boutiques and her outlet also has branches in some cities.

According to Rere, the conversation about marriage with his best friend was the third annoying thing on this day according to him. The question of marriage and when he married is a tiring question according to him, because he himself does not know his answer it is a secret of God and his answer is only God who knows not himself as a man.

If they know Rere was sad about it even though according to him he had tried, close to male coworkers even customers who approached him were open even with distance. because he wants to know the character of the man who approaches him, not because he is picky or feels pretentious and has a career and high education. but for the matter of marriage Rere is very serious he does not want to play a sacred relationship marriage and he wants to marry once in a lifetime spend the rest of his life with a soulmate and do not want no divorce. maybe this is what makes Rere very selective towards men who want to enter his life.

The clock has shown 12 noon and he immediately went to the pantry for lunch, prayer and a short nap at the office mosque. although 15 minutes is enough according to him and there are some coworkers who also do the same thing.when he was closing his eyes, the sound of hp reads there is a message in the green application in. there is a new number that sends a message. actually lazy to open the message if again break like this but he opens and reads as well.

(good afternoon Bu Rere I am Riki from PT Erlangga Nusantata Corporation, tomorrow at 10 am, I invite to our company, I will, I get an email proposal material of bank products that bume Rere sent and my boss is interested in learning the material we received and want the bank to present directly, he said, I'm waiting for confirmation from Ms. Rere and Thank You)

"huh.huh god" his eyes enlarged staring at the screen hp then stood up from a sitting position.

(well Sir I will prepare the program material and bank products that I will bring tomorrow and Thank You back). without ado Rere replied to the message

"How does he reply to your message" asked a man sitting at a table of greatness by staring at the assistant who is at the same time his confidant.

"Rere will come tomorrow he has replied to my message" replied Riki

"Good, clear my schedule tomorrow I want to take part in the meeting when he presents the material that he will bring" he said with a smile that is difficult to understand.

"Well boss I want to go back to my room first, if there is anything else can contact me back" said Riki to the boss and friend.

...****************...

While Rere contacted Dina telling him the message he received that made a big smile.how not to smile he is very happy can be invited to present the product from the bank where he works. he really hopes that large companies in the country trust to put a lot of funds for the company's operations into the bank where he works. If that happens, surely the big boss who always push him about the target end of the month at the end of this year will definitely smile widely. he also hopes the company's salary payment also uses the services of the bank he works for.

"o Allah make my business easy tomorrow" said Rere before leaving the mosque in the pantry, he saw the clock in the arm was time to go back to work. He rushed to his work room and looked at the computer and called Dina and Rendi to come soon. They discuss the material that will be explained tomorrow and what is needed they also prepare. long enough to not feel they have been 4 hours in the room Rere with occasionally they contact the development section to prepare gifts and brochures needed tomorrow.And right at 5 pm time to go home and in the sense that there was enough preparation for tomorrow, Rere decided to end the meeting.

"Bu Reni tomorrow to PT Erlangga what time? " ask Rendi after finishing tidying the material file.

" this Mr. Riki sent a message to me we are waiting at 10 am, so before the requested time we have arrived there" said Rere

"ok deh bu Reni we go home first hopefully tomorrow can get maximum results, and Miss Ren comes too" continued Dina.

"yes dong Din" while smiling "excite yes to you tomorrow" he said again.

Because today his car deflated the tire so he went home to take the train back when Dina and Rendi offered to go home with them but Rere refused on the grounds of wanting to walk while exercising because he did not there is a time to take time just to go to the gym or a small run during the weekend.

"hmmm... About the car I'm ready yet yes" grumbled rere, he wants when tomorrow to Erlangga company bring his own car, he's lazy to use the company car he prefers to use a private car. he is not comfortable if he has to be escorted using a driver. and after he contacted the repair shop who helped fix it and already got the info if his car was ready he asked to be escorted to his apartment and he had already paid through m-banking. every problem with his favorite car Rere always contact the garage subscription because the owner is Rere's best friend when he was a child. because Rere was occasionally invited by his best friend to his workshop.

Flasbacks

The Workshop Owner's name was Geri a friend of his when he was a child and lost communication when Rere moved, before Rere's father died. Rere once occupied one of the cities in Central Java, it was while his father was still alive and working there as the caretaker of one of the city's interstate bus shuttles but when his father was seriously ill, Rere and his family decided to return to the hometown of mother and father in one of the cities in West Java. geri and Rere have long been without communication because in the era of little Rere to teenagers friendship applications on Social media do not exist. the first time there is an online friendship application as recall Rere when the age of 19 years is natural if they lost contact. with a smile Rere considering Geri his friend.

Early reunion with Geri when Rere was still working at the branch office when he was 22 years old and still working as a customer service. And at that time Geri was taking care of a debit card that was swallowed at an ATM. there early he met his best friend Geri.

Rere did not expect his best friend still recognize Rere even though time has run more than 8 years. according to Geri, nothing has changed from Rere, Rere has a cute face and is also white. especially when he talks about his childhood city when Rere helps Geri deal with his obstacles.he sees the name listed on the form and identity that Geri carries, he sees the name on the form and the identity that Geri carries, since that meeting Geri asked for no hp and social media rere account. when seeing social media Geri opened a photo gallery uploaded Rere. there is one of the photos uploaded by Rere when he was 8 years old last Geri made a comment "Hi my beautiful friend, the end of which we meet again"

If you remember that Rere smiled and thought how quickly the time passed from when he was a child and then moved from childhood to the city where the family lived today and then finished High school then working while in college and from the results of working in one of the largest minimarkets he was able to complete his strata one degree.

Flasback finished

Without feeling he had arrived at the destination station and then he stepped foot into his apartment and there was already Geri in the front lobby with Rere's car that was finished in repair.

Geri smiles at Rere with the same smile for 10 years after her second encounter: a warm and sweet smile.
