A few weeks later.
This morning Naina was getting ready, starting a new beginning after graduating from college. Some time ago, Naina had already thrown job applications to several companies. It seems good luck is on her side, so Naina is accepted by a company. Naina had already passed the interview a few days ago, so today would be her first day of work. Although still in the trial stage, Naina was very excited. The girl prepared everything well.
"Yes Ma'am, Naina must have come this weekend" said Naina who was talking to her mother via phone call. "Ehm, it's Naina's first day at work. Doain Naina let everything go smoothly, ma'am."
"Ok Ma'am. Say hello to my sisters there." said Naina before closing her call.
Naina thinks for a moment, trying to guess why Arnita is urging her to go home in the near future. Because Arnita is not usually like this, and from what Naina heard, Arnita's voice seemed to be holding back anxiously.
"How's Arnita?" an old man sitting near Arnita refuted after hanging up his phone.
"Naina will be home this weekend Rud." said Arnita.
"good. Make sure he accepts this decision. Do whatever it takes to get the girl to be willing." said the old man, leading more to an irrefutable order.
"But Rud, do you really want to do this to Naina? Naina is a good and sincere child. Can you put a child that good in the middle of your family's life so cruel?" Arnita refuted, could not bear to plunge his foster children who he loved so much.
The old man smirked, "That's exactly what attracted me to Nita. I need a girl like Naina to fix my son's life."
"But your son is old."
"What do you mean?" not accept.
"No. I mean, your son is too old for a girl Naina's age. Naina is twenty-three years old. As for your son, almost thirty-four." - Arnita protested.
"Why not? If they are a match, age will not be a problem." replied the old man, making Arnita no longer have a reason.
"I know what you're worried about Nita. Trust me, I won't let my future daughter-in-law suffer." the man seemed to know Arnita's anxiety, trying to calm down his close friend.
Arnita resigned, handed everything to his friend. "Alright Rud. I hope everything will be okay."

One week Naina worked at a property company. Naina is placed in the marketing department. During this one week the work is not too burdensome. Because Naina got some friendly and kind friends and seniors. Unlike his shadow before entering work a few days ago.
"It means going home with yuk" Naina told her new friend. Aranya, a beautiful girl who is also a new child just like Naina who is still a fresh graduate.
Their boarding is indeed in the same direction, only further Naina's boarding house.
"Can. I'll buy the equipment, you want?"
"OKs. Sip."
Both are back at work. Their room was quite noisy at the time, as other teams were busy discussing the latest product launch this month. It was annoying, because he also had to do the tasks of his seniors.
"Where are you going?" naina asked as she saw Aranya hurrying away.
"Toilet. You wanna come?" seloroh Aranya's.
"No. Just go there."
After Aranya leaves, Naina is completely immersed in her work. Until it is not known other employees have left the room.
Naina was unconscious, because indeed if she had been focused, the girl would have ignored her surroundings. Fifteen minutes later, Naina regains consciousness. Look at a room that is inhabited only by itself.
"Where is everyone?" the girl wondered. Strange, because the clock still does not show the hours of rest.
Then Naina checks her phone, intending to contact Aranya. But before that happened, Naina opened the group message from their division head.
"Everyone was called to the hall. GM will announce new rules. All together in fifteen minutes. Don't let anyone be late."
Naina rounded her eyes. Because he was too focused to hear the sound of his cell phone. Naina panicked, immediately getting ready for the hall that was on the fifteenth floor.
"What is this?" the girl was anxious while pressing the elevator button many times.
The elevator opens, Naina comes straight in. Naina said a prayer during the elevator, because she remembered the story of Aranya, that GM said very fierce. Do not hesitate to fire employees who make the slightest mistake.
Naina has not known the head of this company. Therefore this girl did not think too much about Aranya's words.
But as Naina's prayer was not answered, Naina arrived at the hall as GM was speaking on stage. Stand up straight, staring coldly at all the employees without any pleasant expressions.
At that very instant, the entire gaze was fixed on Naina who was standing in the doorway, panting.
Naina became awkward as her friends and seniors looked at her with unusual gazes. There was even one shaking his head, as if groveling to him.
Not to forget, the most horrifying gaze in this room, which came from above the stage there, was glaring at Naina very sharply.
But it seemed that the man who was the top of the company did not respond. The man glanced at the secretary standing behind him. With just a glance, the secretary stepped off the stage, walking over to Naina.
"Naina.." The secretary, who was also as intimidating as the GM, spelled out the name on the identification card hanging around her neck. "Please take your resignation letter from this company" said the bespectacled man without saying stale.
Naina dropped her jaw, her knees were limp, barely able to support her body.
"A...What, sir...? The resignation..? Meaning..." Naina stammered, still trying to accept the words.
"You're right. You were fired from this company." the secretary was heartless.
"But Sir.. "
"Boss doesn't like employees who are undisciplined, let alone undisciplined. You read the message, right? Fifteen minutes is enough for you to walk from the parking lot to this place. And now...." glanced at his fancy watch, "Nearly thirty minutes, don't you think this is too much?"
"Sir..." Naina's tongue felt like she wanted to explain. He wasn't time disciplined, it was just that this circumstance was too urgent.
"Please get your things done." the secretary ordered, then walked back to the hall stage.
"good. We continue." GM is continuing the talks from up front, getting other employees back in focus.
Ignoring Naina who almost slumped if only not to make a concrete wall as a support for her body. Still like a dream.
He was just fired. Naina has been working for a week. For a girl like Naina, of course this is very painful. It was hard for him to get this job, but in the blink of an eye, it was all over.
Naina turned towards the tall man who was explaining on the stage. Naina doesn't take being fired. This was his first mistake since work, and not too fatal for him. He should have had a chance.
I don't know what was on the girl's mind, so she bravely walked onto the stage. No matter the views of everyone who was astonished at his actions.
"Sir, please give me my chance sir... I promise I won't repeat it again." Naina said directly to the company's top brass.
Naina raised her gaze, looking at the man who turned out to be someone she had seen.
"Bule KW...?" naina subconsciously called out the name with her big voice. Still filled with shock, because it turns out GM is a Caucasian man who hit him a few weeks ago.
Another employee shook his head, astonished at the incredibly brave Naina, let alone insulting GM with that designation.
Not only the employees, the mastermind behind all this commotion was similarly shocked. The bule man further sharpened his eyes, giving off an aura of intimidation that would definitely scare everyone.
How dare! Her thought.
"You are so brave. GM fired you directly. Do you not understand?" One of her seniors approached, trying to bring Naina from the place. Because if not, the leader of the company will definitely be very angry.
"Take him!" the foreign man commanded his secretary, before finally walking out of the hall.
"Sir how. I'm sorry Sir. I'm only ten minutes late sir, please give me a chance." shouted Naina, hoping the leader would respond.
But all of that was in vain. The man wouldn't even look at it.
"Sir..."
"Naina is..." Aranya comes over, trying to calm Naina down.
"Why dong, I got fired..."
"I'm sorry, too, Nai, I should have come call you when the message from the division came in. I thought you were going first."
"Trus I how dong Nya..."
"Prophey yes Nai. Maybe work here is not your fate. But you're calm, I'll help you get more work done" said Aranya to calm Naina.
***
Naina walks out of the city's largest property company building. Although her heart still did not accept being fired just like that, inevitably, Naina had to get out of here. The girl held back her tears from earlier. Didn't expect to be unemployed in this short time.
"Basic bule kw! Risa's sister should have finished her yesterday!" Naina grumbled, cursing the leader of the big company.
When Naina passes through the lobby, she accidentally sees a shiny black car as it passes by. Naina remembers seeing the GM secretary get off this car.
"It's the secretary's car, right?" Naina was so upset that an idea popped into her head.
"Rasain tuh's. So people don't get hung up." he said while kicking the hood of the car violently.
"Gue swearing your company is bankrupt!" before he finally left the company.
