"Thank you to all my colleagues who have been working well under my direction. Thank you for the loyalty and dedication of colleagues all to Valid Corp."
Mr. Handoko gave a speech at the dinner in order to break up.
"Vedra, now all the colleagues here are your responsibility," continued Mr. Handoko while patting Vedra on the back.
Vedra nodded slowly as all eyes were on her.
"I'm waiting for the other colleagues at the headquarters" said Mr. Handoko.
Plok..
Ican became the first person to clap loudest before finally all employees of Valid Corp.'s branch office followed by giving a very lively applause.
Verda became one of the people who clapped his hands. He became a person who still could not accept the management's decision to appoint Vedra as the manager of this branch of the city. Verda still felt unfairly treated, as a senior surpassed by his junior.
Mr. Handoko invited all employees of the Valid Corp. branch to dinner at a restaurant located on the beach. All employees sit in a long gazebo with a capacity of up to forty people. The restaurant named Birunya Laut was chosen directly by Pak Handoko because this restaurant became Pak Handoko's favorite restaurant.
One by one seafood dishes ranging from grilled fish, smoked crabs, shrimp, to black pepper squid landed on the dining table. Berkakul warm white rice directly become the prey of employees who are already hungry.
"So, tomorrow Mr Handoko should be at the head office?" ask Teti.
"Right," replied Mr. Handoko.
"Well, sir, give me info if there is a position in the headquarters that is empty, yes" said Nita.
"Oh, that means in a moment, maybe Vedra will be called to headquarters" Ican chimed in.
"Therefore you all work harder and better" Mr. Handoko said.
Verda sipped young coconut ice with a riled feeling after listening to Ican cerocosan. It is common knowledge that the Valid Corp. headquarters recruits employees with branch manager positions to join the headquarters. Like, the branch office becomes a place for employees to forge the best abilities they have.
"Ved, this adds more rice," said Teti thrusting a basket of rice.
"This adds another smoke crab, just take my and Teti's share," Nita thrusts a plate of smoke crab towards Vedra.
"Thank you" said Vedra.
"Ved, by the way, do you like the gift we gave you as your wedding gift?" ask Teti.
"Hmm, yes, thank you," Vedra replied as she glanced at Verda who appeared to be putting on a sour expression.
To be honest, Vedra still has not opened the gift that he still let stooped in the corner of his room. He was too busy, there was no opportunity to unpack the contents of the gift even though Verda had repeatedly reminded him to open the card immediately.
Why does he have such an expression? What else is my fault? Inner Vedra.
"Verda, you want shrimp? A calamari? Or me?" ask Ican.
"What the hell, Can?!" gerutu Verda's.
"Verda, you've been pouting all the time. You why? Stomach pain?" ask Ican.
"No, I'm fine" Verda said quickly.
"Verda, do you really not know? In your idol that if you are bete, appear occult writings that I can read through my inner eye," Ican said while chuckling amusedly.
Verda did not respond to Ican's guionan. He is currently in a mood that is deteriorating. Especially seeing Teti and Nita who seem to move quickly to perform the action of binding superiors.
The dinner went quickly. At the end of the event, they all took pictures with Mr. Handoko as a memento.
"Sir, this is a memento gift from all of us, please be gladly received," Teti handed over a large package towards Mr. Handoko.
"Can I open it now?" ask Mr. Handoko.
"Next year too, sir," Ican said.
"We thank you very much and happy to be in a new place, sir," Vedra greeted Mr. Handoko.
"Thank you, welcome to the new position, Ved," said Mr. Handoko.
One by one the employees took turns to greet Mr. Handoko. Verda became the last person to greet the middle-aged man.
"Verda, all right, yes, same Ved. You do not need to fight for leave anymore" said Mr. Handoko.
"Haha, yes sir, but we're still fighting over the bathroom" Verda said, laughing.
Vedra stiffens hearing Verda's words.
"Oh, haha, it seems that it needs to procure more toilets so that there is no need to scramble," Mr. Handoko responded to Verda's guyonan.
Verda glanced at his smile. Can't Verda make it clear which bathroom she's referring to?
Mr. Handoko finally said goodbye to all of his coworkers.
"Dissolve, disperse! Tomorrow's work again!" exclamation Teti.
"Yes, you girls go home! Me and Verda want to hang out, how's Verda?" ask Ican.
"Sorry Can, next time, I want to go home" Verda said.
"Yes," Ican sneer.
Nita and Teti chuckled, funny to witness Ican's persistence in approaching Verda.
"Friends, go first!" Verda said goodbye and immediately headed to the parking lot.
The Ican thaws while Nita and Teti are still giggling over Verda's refusal to accept Ican's invitation.
"Ican, are you really serious about getting Verda?" ask Nita.
"Didn't I look serious?" Ican asked back.
"Haha," Nita and Teti laughed at Ican's question.
"Ved, what do you think? How big is my debt to get Verda?" ask Ican towards Vedra.
Vedra frowned, wanting to say, "your chances of getting Verda are one hundred percent if you were Jehun."
"Hopefully succeed" Vedra said expressionlessly.
Vedra immediately steps away leaving behind Ican who looks keki himself while Teti and Nita again laugh out loud.
"Can, if you're serious about Verda, that means you should be serious about finding another job, right?" ask Teti.
"It's okay, Tet, look at Abahku the fishman on the other side! I can continue my Abahku business!" answer Ican confidently.
"Aahaha!" Nita and Teti were back.
"Well, we'll see if you can melt Verda's heart!" nita Sahut.
"Yes, I feel like I'm going to bet on you, Can!" Teti.
"No, no need to bet! I was convinced and made up my mind! I am a real man who has to get what I want with my own efforts! Especially for Verda!" Ican decorated as if he were the leader of the demonstrators.
Nita and Teti were back laughing, they were really looking forward to the show.
