LOVE SONGS OF LOLOBATA

SUSPICIOUSLY

I do not want to be suspicious and try to suppress the embers of revenge fire that sometimes still arouse my soul. But I don't like to see Bray staring at you with unusual eyes. I don't know what he's thinking. Is it because of being fascinated by the rest of your beauty or something else that makes it fixated for more than a minute. My chest churned for a moment. I want to feel like I'm gouging his eyes out.

I suppressed my anger in silence, while my teeth were bluffing slowly. Is there anything that makes her look like she's marking her mom with something? Is he targeting mama into something? I don't know. I don't know if I'm paranoid. That bad thought just flashed by to see the way he looked at Mama.

"I'm Firdaus Sanjaya."

Good though. Bray introduced himself to Mama with a sweet smile without frills.

"Fifa Friends?"

"Yes, Fifa's friend. Brother friends Hisham and Arfa also." he explained with a smile glancing at me.

She probably thought I was open enough to my real mother. Actuallyno. I only know who my friend is with his own eyes and head. Not from the story.

"Mama's happy now Fifa's starting a lot of friends again. Since her baba died 4 years ago she has always been alone. Only Arfa sometimes accompanied him. Mama fears she'll be lonely after Arfa moves to Obi Island. Thank God it turns out even more friends."

Mama's face looks cramped. My mom was so happy to see me making more and more friends. I smiled happily to see him so happy. Apparently all this time I didn't realize that my loneliness was worrying him. Ah, Mama. Forgive Fifa who has been too stubborn.

"Please sit! Mama permission to the kitchen first want to prepare cooking ingredients to be taken to the garden tomorrow. Can chat as comfortable as you guys, as long as it's no more than 9." Mom reminded me of the deadline to visit our house in a friendly manner.

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Wait ya. Mama's gonna make a special coffee and fried rice for your chatter mates."

"Don't bother, Mama."

"Tara's bothered. Mama's happy that Fifa's got a lot of friends."

Bray looked at me with a surprised look. I don't know what he's thinking. Tonight I don't want to stare at his face so as not to get too late in his magical charm. I lowered my gaze and tried to get rid of bad thoughts that sometimes come across at any time. I want to make my feelings normal in order to think clearly.

"In order to shorten the time, we just talk about our purpose, Fifa. Frankly, we came tonight because we need an immediate answer to the offer to establish a foundation engaged in bird conservation. It's actually an old idea, but I haven't found the right person to trust as a manager." Bray started the conversation in a serious tone.

I heard him looking down and playing my own knuckles. "In the next few months there will be an assessment from our partners of electric car battery companies from America. We want to get a good assessment of our status as a green company, because it is an absolute requirement of our partners. At least our company's operations must comply with the standards set by PROPER and ISO 26000."

Until there I don't understand. A lot of foreign terms that I heard for the first time. Kulirik Andi who observed the contents of Bray's conversation carefully. I felt stupid and unworthy to be involved in this serious conversation. Here I am the least educated and backward. I'm just a graduate after package C and rarely communicate with strangers. Like a frog in a shell, that is the parable of my static life in a small village on the edge of the forest. Luckily tonight there is Andi who has more knowledge and experience. As a relative I believe he will protect my interests.

"Are you certified to ISO 26000?"

"It was certified 3 months ago."

"Well, cool."

"Notes about our compliance with ISO 26000 and environmental CSR programs we always send copies to the environmental service."

"Our involvement in endemic bird conservation around the company's territory has been a CSR program since last year."

Here I began to understand a little what Bray meant by inviting me to form a foundation for the conservation of endemic birds of the Lolobata forest. It turns out that it has something to do with the potential that will be obtained by the company from cooperation with foreign companies that require the status of the company must be green-company. Basic businessman reviewer. He must be using me for a bigger cause.

"People who are experienced about the care and breeding of birds are many, but not from local residents who live around the forest and the location of our mines. We think Fifa's the most appropriate person to lead that foundation."

"agree. Fifa is the right person. Veterinarian or keeper affairs that experts can pay professionals, but the affairs of genuine love from the heart there is nothing that rivals Fifa. Evidence clear. The red-headed parrot that had been released just wanted to go back to her. Haha."

Whahuh? Why is Andi promoting me in such hyperbolic language? This is not what I want. Andi should know I don't want to take on that much responsibility. I'm still suspicious of the CEO of the mining company anyway. He is very smart to use the advantages of stringing words for the benefit of cuan. His brain is cunning and gnarled.

"I can't do anything, I better find someone else." I said I couldn't bear the rebellion that came from my little heart. Andi I can't count on. She doesn't know yet if Bray is my favorite baba and parrot killer. Bray is obviously doing an insincere conservation program of the heart, but for the money. The program was only used as bait for a large catch. I don't want to support him. It doesn't fit with my life mission.

Andi grabbed my hand and held it. Maybe it meant that I would feel calmer. But I saw Bray's gaze threatening me. I just pulled my hand from Andi's. I want to be free with my own thoughts.

"I'm sure you can, Fifa. We are the descendants of a nation of clever warriors. Trust me the same. That experience and knowledge can be learned, but a good opportunity like this won't come twice." Andi tried to convince me.

I got pissed. Why the hell Andi is no different from Arfa. Can't read what I want. Neither Andi nor Arfa look good like they want to protect me, but in the presence of this boss instead look for face. If Arfa does it I understand because of employer worker relations I consider it natural to defend the employer. But not with Andi. As a third party whose salary is paid by the state, Andi should be able to act more independently. Frankly I'm disappointed.

"You should take this good opportunity, Fifa. With the support of PT XY funding, we can save more birds from extinction. If you do not take this opportunity, PT XY will give it to others who do not necessarily honestly love nature. That's more dangerous."

Right too. It could actually be a symbiotic relationship. Mutually beneficial. Companies can partner with foreign companies, while funding needs for bird conservation efforts are available. Perhaps this green company concept was deliberately created to force entrepreneurs to care about human rights and the environment.

"The bird conservation activity is part of the company's CSR program that inevitably must still be implemented to meet green company standards, namely corporate obedience to human rights and environmental provisions. What if the program's funds were misappropriated not on its designation? It's hard to find honest people who want to fight for the preservation of nature. I'm sure you can accept this responsibility because of the love of nature and your homeland" Andi added.

"We are constantly distracted by hunters catching wild birds in the forest. It is very difficult to control so that people do not hunt even though there have been legal consequences but hunters will still exist because of economic factors. The price of those rare birds can be more expensive than the price of a cow, Fifa." Andi complained about her work difficulties.

"The conservation sites that are close to the birds' native habitat need to be created so that the birds seized from the hands of irresponsible people can more quickly adapt before being returned to nature. If you accept this responsibility, we from BKSDA will feel very helped. I'll definitely support and help you, Fifa."

Andi supports the program because his work will be greatly helped by the conservation activities by non-governmental organizations. Of course it will only happen if the foundation is truly managed by a trustee. I understood why he seemed enthusiastic and tried so hard to convince me to accept the offer. Bray just smiles.

"Breeding is also necessary for the habitation of birds that are already benign such as Aga. We also need to ensure the survival of endangered species of birds through breeding in cages."

"Yes, Fifa. We have budgeted for the manufacture of large aviary each for conservation and breeding cages. Salary program managers, keepers and veterinarians are included. This is our planning document. Please read and revised if there are one or two flaws." Hisyam's sister handed him a plastic map containing papers.

I dyed. So I felt that I had to answer 'Yes' by the three men in front of me. The explanation is logical, I can't argue with it. Efforts to save the beautiful birds of our forest inhabitants have indeed become a must. I find it increasingly difficult to find certain types of birds in the forest.

I re-stored the file to Andi, "Please Brother Andi help. I don't understand this complicated planning."

Andi smiled and opened the file and explained to me the meaning of the sentence or number in it with detail. I'm listening carefully. Occasionally ask and comment. Sometimes Bray answers my questions. Sometimes sister Hisham. Andi occasionally explained the meaning. Really that night I was forced to learn new things with regard to planning activities, legal aspects and money. For me, this is like a free lecture with 3 teachers at once. Weight, Sis.
