“SUPRIESSEE!!” said all the staff in unison came out startling Pearl, some staff there who brought conffenty enliven the atmosphere. Ayu brought blackforest cake there are five small candles decorate the cake. Everyone greeted Pearl, congratulating her.

“Congratulations yes mbak Mutiara, congratulations.”

“As our new GM celebration, today everything goes directly to Gubug Mang Engking!”

“HOREEEEE!” all the employees were shouting happily, clapping their hands.

“Congratulations mbak, emang mbak ki cen talent.” said Ayu congratulated.

“Yes because I need GM and the competent only elo, plus the cheap hehehe.” said Tia sitting on her couch relaxed. They were talking in Tia's office.

“Tia, will be envious, I will think I KKN, I am new?”

“Udahlah loe lasalin the best, it is natural that I give the position in accordance with the ability, and it is natural that many are envious of you, do not need to be cared for.”

I need a competent GM, not only child-care but project-deal. If I know from the beginning of loe gini talent yes I immediately install as GM, not from TL first.”

The silent pearl heard Tia's words. Indeed Mutiara felt there were some staff who were envious during this time with him, but it was also true that he thought, wherever he worked people who did not like there must be.

‘Akh stop! Do your best Muti. lahaula walaquwwata illabillahil aliyil adzim. O Allah make the servant trust in carrying out this office.’ Mumbled.

After Ashar prayers they headed to Restaurant Gubug mang Engking in Ungaran area. This luxury restaurant is designed with a beautiful yellow bamboo wall, a roof of nipah leaves like straw and wooden floors is a blend of Sunda, Yogyakarta and Bali. The cool air of the rice fields, and the extensive koi fish pond make the restaurant like floating on the water. The view of Ungaran mountain beautifies the atmosphere.

Pearl saw amazed by this restaurant. So luxurious and beautiful, the beautiful light makes this restaurant look magnificent golden. Underneath there is a large fish pond, making this restaurant a floating tub.

“Both good Ti.”

“Loe likes?”

“Huum, I feel like applying yes.” joked Mutiara.

“Ha ha ha, yes no more prince loe come with white horse.” joked Tia.

“Come akh join with children.” The pearls nodded, they walked towards one of the restaurant's gubugs.

 

Various kinds of food are served, Sundanese food, see food, and various juices. All the staff ate so voraciously while joking.

 

“Ra, Loe should try this!” tia said carrying food on a small plate.

“This is the name of karedok, my favorite food in college, I used to snack on this. This can only be found in Bandung.”

The pearl took the plate and tasted it, at the first mouth of the Pearl's countenance was already frowning.

“Emmm.

“Ha ha ha pedes ya?” tia laughed.

“Huum.” Pearl busy flapping her hands into her mouth spiciness.

“Gue go there first, take a drink!” Tia nodded laughing looking at the Pearls of spiciness. The pearl went to the corner table with a teapot, about to drink.

“Eh mbak want to drink?”, said Silvi one of the new TL to take water. Pearl nodded leaking water from the teapot to his glass, not yet fully filled, he immediately drank.

‘Alhamdullilah ’ murmured feel more relieved.

“Pedes yes, what did you eat anyway?” ask Silvi.

“That's mbak Tia, thanks karedok really bad.” He filled his glass again until it was full.

“Haha dergjain huh? Eh mbak once again congratulations mbak good luck always.”

“Iya vi equally, you are also yes, active continuous work one day you can also, even more successful than mbak.”

“Siap mbak.” says Silvi smile.

“Yes hard is Vi.” said Rani suddenly joined their conversation.

“What does mbak mean?” ask Silvi plain.

“Easy make mbak Pearl jump from TL directly to GM within three months, right sodaranya bu boss. Yes if you make it difficult for us, it takes a long time, TL, just climbed to the supervisor, wait a few years directly to GM.” Silvi and Mutiara immediately looked at Rani's speech.

“That's good that you work at sodara company, keep pressing fingers want to be anything, must be directly so.” Added Rani.

“Salah.” elak Mutiara “That's all not real, it takes competent skills to achieve a position not because of family reasons, I believe Mbak Tia is wise in positioning her employees according to her ability.” clear firmly.

“Yes yes, mbak really wise yes mbak , three months versus yearly.” Rani quipped.

Silvi just silently heard Rani's explanation smiling forcefully. But he felt that what Rani said had a point. Rani, one of Tia's employees who always speaks softly according to her thoughts.

“Rani?” Pearl sighed, she was annoyed and tried to be patient with Rani's innuendo.

“Ya?”

“ALLOHU AKBAR ALLOHU AKBAR..” and magrib reverberate.

“Excuse me for prayer first.” Pearls directly snuggle out the gubug feel there will be no end to serve Rani one of her stubborn work partners.

“Excuse me, if mushola is split where ya?” tanya Mutiara is one of the waiters who cross paths with her.

“Owh mbak just follow this path straight only later there are instructions writing mushola.”

“Still mas.”

Pearl walked slowly step by step, while focusing on answering adan. Occasionally terbesit Rani's words hurt her heart, di sighed several times trying to calm down. Unable to endure the pain, he sat in the front seat of the fish pond calming down, unconscious of the drop of tears he held falling onto his cheek. Pearls.

“This.” Arif behind her thrusting a handkerchief.

“Ciee moved up the post.” her candle comforted Pearl. Pearl smiled, then taken a handkerchief from Arif, she wiped her tears neatly.

“Huhf.” he sighed, trying to strengthen himself again.

“Udah don't be horrified!”

“What?” pearl parau.

“Ya Rani's talk, please shirk.”

Arif sitting next to the smiling Pearl hearing his chirp, he nodded in agreement with Arif's opinion.

“Kalo me yes, I even seneng have a beautiful and good boss again.”

“Aaan the hell mas?” Pearl laughed at Arif's chattering.

“Loh really, I've got a tomboy boss, chatty, fierce again, rich.”.

“My power?” Suddenly Tia appeared in front of them.

“Eh mbak Tia?” Arif stood up in shock.

“You two do this here, it's time to pray!” chirp it to Arif.

“Terus loe ra instead follow ...”Tia noticed the careless face of the Pearl looking a little teary still left the base of her cheek.

“Loe cry? Loe why?” Tia immediately looked towards Arif annoyed.

“Loe apain my cousin?” Tia pulled Arif's collar, dragging him to the edge of the pool. Arif resigned to what his boss did.

”E-e mbak-mbak misunderstand!!”

“Misunderstand how??” snapped Tia who thought Arif was making Pearls cry.

Tia is afraid of Arif who the playboy always makes her SPG-SPG cry heartbroken by her.

Pearl was shocked by what Tia did, she immediately got up holding Tia's hand and tried to calm her down.

“Ti tia already loose loe misunderstood!” mutiara melerai.

“Loe want to bear this playboy toad cap?” tia said annoyedly defending Arif.

“Mbak this I fell loh I fell loh!?” Arif was as strong as possible to install the horses so that he would not fall into the pool.

“Cause! you can play hundreds of SPG I do not care, but if you make my cousin cry..!”

“Tia ti've been embarrassed diliatin people Tia.”

The pearl tried to release the grip of Tia that stuck tight in Arif's collar. Tia is even more upset with the Pearls who defend Arif.

“Ra loe don't interfere!”

Accidentally with his hand pushed the Pearl. The pearl staggered out of control, he jerked back into a man's shoulder, until the man's document fell.

“Auww.”

The pearl was stirring in pain, with all her strength controlling her body to a perfect stand. He realized he had hit someone and dropped the document. The Pearl Reflex that was holding his arm directly squatted took out the scattered sheets of paper. While Arif and Tia are still negotiating on the edge of the pool.

“Sorry sorry!” Pearl Say.

“Are you okay??” Said the theme of the man who was hit by a pearl. The man in the navy suit nodded and then squatted down to petrify Pearl to clear the document. The standing pearl managed to tidy up a few sheets of paper.

“This, once again I apologize.” Mutiara said while submitting the document.

“Rara?” said the navy file guy called him.

The silent pearl frowned hearing the man calling her by the name of Rara. Then the man took his right hand quickly. The frantic pearl tried to take off her hand grip, but the grip was strong .

“Rara where are you going?” he added excited excited to approach Pearl.

The pearls that were feeling confused and frightened reflexes instantly retreated.

“Ra?” he asked again but Mutiara was still confused, sometimes he looked at the theme trying to remember something, whether they were one of the clients he had met or not.

“Excusme Mr Bagas, all is okay? did you know her?” tanya Bule approached Bagas.

“Owh sorry, she is my girlfriend.” said Bagas who still holds the pearl's hand.

Pearl was stunned to hear the words Bagas covered his mouth in shock with the man's confession.

“Girlfriend mbak!?” chirp Arif who still pairs the horses.

“APA!? you're dating Mutiara? Crazy loe?” snapped Tia sewot trying hard to drop Arif into the pool.

“Mbak this mbak fell mbak, not me it's the guy said he's his girlfriend Pearl!” point Arif to the back of Tia, who still had time to pay attention to Pearl in a state of almost splashing.

Tia immediately looked back, at the sight of the Pearl hand held by a man she did not know, she grew even more annoyed by quickly releasing her grip immediately drove towards the Pearl. Arif breathed a sigh of relief he moved away from the pool.

“APA WHAT!!” Tia immediately released the man's hand from the Pearl with great difficulty. “Who are you?”

“I Bagas, I..”.

“Ehem, this gini already magrib.” cut Pearl pulled the hand of Tia who was in the middle to get closer to him.

“Mas earlier said know me?” The man was astonished by the behavior of Pearl who did not know him.

“ I am the same friends I want to pray magrib first, later we discus again, I gubug there, and please do the business with his working partner first.” he added. Bagas looked at his partner's bull, and what Mutiara said, he felt bad about his partner's work.

“Kalo so, we excuse mas.” Mutiara said.

“But ra?” Tia was about to ask again.

“We pray.” invite Pearl to smile, pull it away to the mushola.

Throughout the Pearl prayer trying solemnly, sometimes his mind was still terbesit with the man's speech earlier.

“Ra loe what is the same relationship with the guy earlier, who is it?” tanya Tia beside the mushola while tying her sports shoe laces.

Pearl silently heard the question Tia still remembered maybe the guy one of her clients.

“Ra I'm no longer kidding ya, don't tell me he's the prince riding loe, do not-don't you all this time you dating diem-diem behind me?”

“Loe what did he think?”

They talked while walking towards their side.

“Yes she said girlfriend, what do you mean?”

“Yes I don't know Tia, I'm just still nginget, maybe he was our client?”

“There are clients ngaku-ngaku loe girlfriend, if the client is flirtatious same elo I admit there.”

“Tia loe don't trust me?”

Tia silently looked at the Pearl sharp. Tia's possessiveness is in Pearls, as she already considers her as her own sister. He was afraid that there was a man who hurt him, Tia was indeed traumatized by the adam, considering his papih that left him somewhere.

“Ya keep on what?”

“Do not know Tia, from earlier he called me Rara Rara, I think he called my last name?” he tried to convince Tia.

When they arrived at the club they did not see the figure of the man in white earlier. Pearl and Tia joined the children who were joking.

“Mbak Mutiara equals mbak Tia already salat?”

“Udah yu, have you prayed?” ask Pearl.

“Not yet, this would be the same as Dian.” His word.

Ayu and Dian immediately drove out the hut.

“Ra, like the guy was wrong, proof he did not exist, is he just a flirtatious guy trying to deketin loe? crazy guy it's a guy.” The pearl nodded hearing Tia's chirp.

“Lagian ra, loe it new ja expanse I rescued loe from his combalan Arif, uh already there is a guy who gebet loe again.”

“Loe what the hell is it? my man accidentally nubruk him, mpe the document fell, yes I just help finish the document, uh know he holds my hand, have I continued?” said an upset Pearl who accused him of all sorts.

PLOK PLOK PLOK “Hei hey mbak’e?mas’e? announcement!” ayu's applause made the attention of the staff turn to him. He who had already gone through the prayer permit returned so quickly, he asked his comrades to be quiet.

“This is a handsome mas named Bagas, want to find his girlfriend Rara, there is a name Rara?”

His low voice silenced the atmosphere, all the staffs speechlessly glanced at each other looking for a person named Rara.

“There is no such thing as Rara yuk here.” chirped Haris. Ayu directly came out the doorway, seeming she was discussing with someone. Pearl and Tia looked at each other.

“Do not...” said Tia

“That's the guy!” Bagas said from the doorway pointing towards Pearl, automatically all employees look towards Pearl.
