Pras tapped his finger impatiently. Ratih feels uncomfortable with all his actions.


“You why the hell like a hot worm?” His words were disturbed by Polah Pras.


“When did Tania take you on vacation?”


“Now he is busy working and studying. It's impossible to take me on vacation. You better concentrate on your work. Kreshna rebuked me because I had not yet given him a report. You haven't signed it. What the hell are you doing?”


Pras took a deep breath, “I miss him. If only, you could ask Tania where I'd be coming to her this weekend. Maybe my concentration will be better afterwards. He didn't reply to my whatsapp. Does she already have a boyfriend there?”


“Gosh! You're looking for a disease! You're a playboy. You can date anyone you like. Stop thinking about Tania. Come back like before. So that your enthusiathism works back.”


“I always compare the girl I met with Tania. Even Marsha I often compare with him.”


“I guess I have to forge your signature?”


“No need. You find out the address. I want to go to New Zealand to see him. I can't stand waiting for him to take you on vacation. I can die not strong resist miss.”


Kontan Ratih laughed at Pras's reply.


“You're a playboy. It must be like people want to die if they are in love. Get used to. While waiting while meeting with Tania was certainly without her knowledge. If you don't want Tania to stop inviting me on vacation with her. You can chase girls as a distraction. Filling your time. Killing your sepulchre?”


“To be frank, I lost interest in chasing girls. I feel like they can't be compared to Tania.”


“Everyone who falls in love always gets carried away. Use logic. Everyone has their own advantages and disadvantages. Comeon! Back to how it used to be! If the soul mate will not go where.”


“You yourself. Why not have a lover?”


“No matching yet!”


“I'm the same. If only Tania would be my girlfriend. Of course I won't like this.”


“But you can't force her to be your girlfriend.”


“I didn't mean to force it.”


“Already! Don't think too much. You don't have to change. So lebay and weird.”


“I have an idea.”


“What is it?”


“Try you Whatsapp him now.”


“If she is in college or working can not.”


“You must know the schedule.”


Trained to watch the clock. It is a time like this. Tania has a free time. Finished college and before work.


“But you have to promise.”


“What is it?”


“After that concentrate with your work.”


“Good. I want you to call him using a speaker so I can hear his voice.”


“Alright!”


Train calls Tania using speakers.


Tania's voice picked up her phone.


“Ratih? What's up?”


“Gak, just call. Can't you?”


“Bby dong!”


“Where to?”


“New campus finished college. I was chatting with my friend.”


“Who?”


“Darren.”


“Darren?”


“My first friend here. His son is very kind, polite and pleasant.”


“You're one class with him?”


“Beda faculty. He attended the Humanities faculty majoring in History.”


“What friend is girlfriend?”


Tania chuckles.


“Darren Religion is like most New Zealanders. We were just friends and friends. Looks like Darren is the same as me yet thinking about a life partner. Still very focused with his lectures.”


“Your friend has no girlfriend?”


“Seems not.”


“Yeah, considering the association here is very free. It is rare for someone like Darren. Maybe because of that I like to be friends with him.”


Ratih laughs, “Cautiously in love “


Tania laughed.


“Me and Darren are both single. I don't think there's a problem falling in love.”


“You like it?” Ask Ratih.


“I didn't think about it. I'm just saying that if for example falling in love with each other there is no problem right if both are single.”


“Yeah, but maybe religious, cultural and like you said. Concentration with what is being lived at the moment there may be other considerations that are more appropriate.”


“Yeah, I love talking to you because you're so understanding.”


“I just concluded what you said.”


“Yeah. How are you doing yourself?”


“Good. Can I come there?”


“At this time I am busy studying and working. I'm afraid I can't notice you.”


“Yeah, true too. So you invited me on vacation when you were off?”


“Sure. I'll tell ya?”


“Ok!”


Ratih ended the conversation with Tania.


“About a minute!” Gerrutu Pras's.


“You didn't hear he was chatting with his friend.”


“Darren. I thought the same guy who picked up the phone when I called Tania. I'm not sure they're just friends.”


“What does Tania lie about?”


“Entaih! Maybe she's shy?”


Train back to laughing.


“You are very unreasonable. You heard it yourself. He couldn't keep me company before the holidays came. You have to be patient.”


“Good. But can you take the time to call her? “


“What do you mean?”


“As just now. I called her using a speaker so I could hear her voice. How?”


“I think, to reduce your madness you better find a girlfriend. To distract you from it.”


“Free. What I have in mind is that Tania is none other than.”


“You're used to changing girlfriends and it looks like if you change your habits. Makes it hard for you to concentrate. You promised you'd check the report I made. I'll give it to Krishna. I need your signature.”


“Good. I'll read your report and sign it when I approve. But if there's anything you need to revise. You have to fix it first.”


“Yeah.”


Pras read the report that Ratih made. Hearing Tania's voice treated her longing . Makes them concentrate better.


Pras was drowning in his work. Escaping to work is more appropriate than looking for women to date.


Currently, Pras is losing interest in having a girlfriend and choosing to drown himself in his work.


Read the report of Ratih. Give a small note and corrections that must be done Ratih.


Circling numbers that are different from those in the diagram. Strips sentences that look like copy paste from another file.


Add a note to his conclusion.


“I want an evaluation for staff position placement. “ Pras said, “I feel there is something to be rolling. To better fit the needs of the company.  I see there is an excess of employees in hrd and should be diverted to the production section that requires more people and financial personnel.”


“Pak Kreshna asks for new recruitment. Because according to him HRD personnel are placed more in order to evaluate employees more intensely. Includes training and other needs to support employee and company development.”


“I'll give you my analysis. You're if again. Hows it? I think it's better if some people just rolled into the production or financial personnel new lack ya recruited.”


“Good. I wait for the revision from the father to correct the report I will give to the secretary of directors.”


“Good.” Pras started to do his job. Read, analyze and provide analysis.


For a moment he could forget Tania and all her knickknacks. Work was an effective way to take her mind off Tania.
