An unwanted gift

Happy Reading!!!

For almost six months, Aleisha had been working as a Resto Servant.

At the moment he seems to be used to the atmosphere. Likewise with regular customers who are accustomed to Aleisha's appearance which is different from other employees.

At the end of this year until the beginning of the year, the restaurant is increasingly crowded by visitors. Especially around the twenty-fourth of December to one January.

Of course it's not inquired anymore, Resto is very dense. If they want to eat, they must book first.

In the break room

Nur, Nazwa, Aleisha and Karin. Seemed to be resting. They were eating lunch provided by Resto for the Officer.

Tired face, clearly visible in the look of their faces that look tired.

How not? Not yet open, the customer seems to have arrived.

"Let's get excited! It's the last day!" nur exclaims encouraging Karin and Nazwa.

"Yes, spirit!" sahut the two of them were instantly excited.

The three of them then looked towards Aleisha who looked pleased as well.

"You must be happy too, because it's the last day." Nazwa said smiling at Aleisha.

"..i'm happy too, but there's something else that makes me happy." Aleisha replied.

"..what is it?" ask Karin to the girl.

Aleisha smiled, she recalled the incident this morning.

"..i'm very happy, finally after almost a year. They can enter the Qur'an." said Aleisha with a growing smile.

"..they? Who?" ask Nur.

"Children who live near the rent." replied the woman.

"..so you teach njai.." said Nur who just found out.

Aleisha nodded her head in agreement.

"Yes, Sister Nur. Aleisha taught najai every day, but she taught him free." tell Nazwa.

"..masyaAllah, Aleisha.." surprised by the unexpected Nur. There are still people who give free salary.

Aleisha chuckled then she looked towards the three Women alternately.

"Yes, Brother. While I can teach for free. I do.." he said.

"But, that makes me sad. The intention to teach children is reduced, they prefer to play with HP rather than teaching.." he continued with a sad face.

Karin and Nazwa nodded their heads in agreement with the woman's words.

"For example, HP is like a second life. Can't be far from us." said Nazwa.

That's how life is now, everywhere everyone must always carry HP. All HP, from pay or whatever.

Finally the waiting day came. The day of the gift announcement.

This afternoon, all the officers regrouped happily. Wish he got the prize.

"Thank you for your cooperation over the past few days." said Mr. Baim towards the Employees in front of him.

"Together, sir." replied one of the officers.

The other officer smiled while nodding his head.

Mr. Baim was seen following a smile towards his Employees.

"..alright, as is the usual year. Today I will announce some people who will get tourist prizes." he said who immediately got a standing ovation from the Employees.

Prok prok prok prok prok

After the clapping stopped. The man continued his words.

"Actually, Mr. Alano wants to give this gift directly. But because there is business, Mr. Alano permission and replaced by me.." he explained.

The man then took the paper from his pocket. In the notya of the paper are the names of the gift recipients.

"..the recipient of the gift is." he said, then looking at the employee alternately.

" ..congratulations to Santi, Raju, Rini, Salsa, Radi, Tina and Aleisha. Congratulations to you." he continued, clapping the hands of the other employees.

A happy face is seen on the face of the employee who gets a gift, while other Employees who do not get feel disappointed. I mean Susi who is upset.

He does not accept, it could be that employees who have not been up to a year can get a prize. He who has had it for more than a year has not yet got it.

"Please relax!" exclaim Baim silenced the room that was crowded with sounds.

"For the Winners, your trip this time will be to Italy." he told the returning applause.

Prok prok prok

The clapping of the Officers was heard again.

Among the group of Employees, a Woman is seen silently listening to the purpose of the country to be visited.

She was Aleisha, she was speechless with a frozen face.

Of the many countries, it is a country that has avoided itself since its creation a few months ago.

If he could, he would rather not leave his beloved country.

After a short announcement, Mr. Baim took a break to his room followed by all the employees who disbanded.

The woman was glamorous, immediately chasing after the figure of the Man in the suit who walked with wide strides.

"Sir Baim!" call him who soon gets a hit from the man.

"Yes, what's up is Aleisha." she said, looking up at the woman.

"..sorry sir, may I refuse the gift of the tour.." said Aleisha nervously.

The man in blue shirt silently watched the woman in front of him.

"..you better think first, this opportunity did not come twice" he said, leaving the woman.

He pointed his foot towards the chair and sat on it. Aleisha let out a long breath.

To him, without thinking, he would answer no.

From the direction of the gathering room earlier, Susi and Santi walked together.

Susi looks dislike towards Aleisha who is sitting down.

"..beginning tomorrow I am diligent also ah, so I can go outside the Negri like a new child." said Susi pressed her new word final word.

"Enak bangat, not a year has been a walk outside Negri." he continued to quip Aleisha.

While Santi who walked with Susi just silent.

He knew the reason his friend didn't get the prize.

Aleisha, who had heard the woman's words quite loudly, said, "You want to go to the country. If you want you to go." said Aleisha limp.

Hearing Aleisha's words, Susi was annoyed. He does not want to be pitied by that woman.

"..gua does not need, next year the cave can still travel to a better country." he replied, then went to pull Santi's hand next to it.

"..huh.." The woman who was so happy again sighed.

He was confused, why until now. The woman kept acting that way to her.

And if the woman would accept the gift, Aleisha would gladly give it.

But, unfortunately the woman's ego is bigger than her desire. Made him refuse.
