Today, was a pretty exhausting day as well as shocking for Melati, how not, this was the first time Melati got the bullying treatment that had already led to such physical violence. But even so, Melati did not feel fear at all let alone trauma, she had actually prepared herself even mentally, she said, because previously he had heard a lot if life in the city was very hard and cruel.
Not felt, now the clock has shown at 19:00 pm, Melati's working hours are up, he immediately packed and prepared to go home. But again and again, for some reason today there are people who always stop the steps of Melati as soon as he wants to move on.
"Delati," called Menejer's pack who at that time approached him to the locker/storage place.
"Yes sir?"
"After you're done packing, please get to my room!"
"Oh good sir." Melati nodded quickly
"I wait!" Said the manager's package who then just left, just like that,
After finishing packing, Melati immediately stepped into the Menejer room.
*Tocktails*
Melati began to knock on the door slowly.
"Come in!"
Melati also slowly entered, it was seen in the room that two servants stood while holding a white envelope.
"Then we'll excuse you, sir, thank you." Said one of the servants.
"Yes,"
"Hey Mel, we go home first." Say one of the servants while patting Melati's shoulder briefly.
"Oh yeah, be careful on the road." Melati replied with a faint smile.
"Mels,,,"
"Yes sir?" Melati who was originally standing in front of the door, slowly started to enter the room.
"Before I wanted to ask, what was the previous problem between you and the woman? Why would he do that to you?" Ask the manager who was still curious about the incident this afternoon.
Melati also started to shake her head slowly.
"I don't know, sir." The answer then, while putting on a confused face.
"Did you know each other before?"
"No sir, I just saw it."
"really?"
Melati also just nodded.
"Then, why would he be able to scuttle you like that if you didn't know each other and had a problem??"
Now Melati was silent, as her brain began to think again.
"Is it possible that she's jealous of me?? He was angry and didn't accept it because that guy wanted to buy me lunch?? Is it possible because of that??!" Ask Melati in my heart.
"Heeemm is not necessary anymore! The point is I just want to remind you, so you never deal with and make trouble again with the people who were at that table."
"Why sir?" Asked Melati who started to wrinkle her forehead.
"They were customers at this restaurant, almost every day they ate lunch here when they came home from college, and to my knowledge they were all the children of wealthy officials and businessmen. So don't ever make trouble with them again or you'll be made difficult by them or their parents."
Melati was silent.
"Why are you quiet? Did you hear what I said?!"
"Yes sir, I heard." Melati gave a short nod and then started to lower her head again,
"Eeemm was good, and this," Menejer opened the drawer on his desk and placed a large plain white envelope on the table right in front of Melati.
"This is your first paycheck, take it!" Add the manager's pack again.
Melati was immediately smiling sumringah while continuing to look at the white envelope that was still on the table.
"Why just ignore it? Let's take this and go home! Wait what else?"
"Ah yes, thank you very much sir." Melati said as she grabbed the envelope with her increasingly smashed smile.
"Yes." Yeah."
"I'm sorry sir." Melati finally decided to go home.
And only in reply with a brief nod by his known Minister named Surya.
Melati kept looking at the envelope, it was her first salary, the first money she made with her own sweat. Melati further widened her smile, when she saw the contents of it that for her it was already very more than enough.
But suddenly he was reminded of his mother, his mother who always prioritizes himself in any circumstances, even when there is more money even though not much, his mother always remembered to buy Melati this and that. Both eyes began to glaze over, the feeling of longing that was very slowly began to spread and dominate him.
"Mom, I miss." Jasmine Chirps that began to shed her tears.
At that time, it felt like he wanted to call his mother, hear the voice of the mother somehow able to make him feel calm and much better. At that time he was eager to tell his mother, if he had just received the first salary he got from his own sweat. However, whatever the power, the situation Husna who does not have a mobile phone, makes communication between them so hampered.
"There's no way I'm calling Nana these nights and asking her to come to my house to lend her phone to me." Melati muttered in the heart.
Melati also looked back at her salary, then began to arise the thought of buying a cellphone for her mother, a cellphone that is not too expensive as long as it can be used to communicate. Melati glanced at the watch she was wearing at the time, seen the clock hand which at that time only showed at 19:20 pm. Melati finally returned to smile, because it was still not too late for her to look for a mobile phone store.
"Hi Jasmine." Treat it very friendly.
Melati's step stopped instantly and made her slightly stunned.
"Ha, hi, hi." Melati replied hesitatingly.
"Are you done with work?" Ask Vero stale base.
"Oh yes. What is it, mas? Would you like some dinner? Please mas, the restaurant is still open." Obviously it was Melati who tried to stay friendly.
"Oh no. I've eaten hehe."
"Oh ok, then what's up?" Melati asked as she scrunched her forehead.
"Eeemm I'm here, I'm here to see you on purpose." Vero replied, braving yourself.
"discovered me? What else is it, mas? Is this still a matter of last day?" Melati's forehead also looks increasingly wrinkled.
He seems to be starting to misunderstand the intention of the arrival of Vero at that time who even though he wanted to meet Melati because he wanted to show interest in her.
"Vero! Just call me Vero!"
Melati fell silent for a moment.
"Can you?" Ask Vero again gently.
But Melati, still Melati, even though in front of him is now standing a man who he must admit to have a handsome and charismatic face, but it certainly will not make him so sweet and violate the statement he ever said that will never marry anyone.
"Eeem yes, Vero! Then, what's the matter to see me?" Melati asked again with both hands that now began to cross her chest.
"Is he really that insensitive to my attitude?? Or does he have a super duper-cue nature like this?" Vero murmured inwardly who kept wondering about the attitude Melati had shown him.
"If you look at her attitude and attitude, it seems she is not an easy girl to approach. Eeemmm interesting!" And again, who started to smile again.
But Melati who at that time did not know what the contents of his mind, began to feel uncomfortable as Vero continued to look at him with a smile that he himself did not know what the meaning of the smile was.
"Damn!! What kind of look is that? Why is he looking at me like that?! Very rude!!" Ketus jasmine in the heart that began to growl.
"I'm sorry, actually I'm in a hurry, so I have to leave now. Good night." Melati also chose to leave just like that.
The words immediately made Vero immediately jerked from his daydream and rushed following Melati's steps.
"Dark, wait!"
"I'm in a hurry!"
"Where are you going? Why the hurry?!" Ask Vero who still continues to follow the steps of Melati who was impressed in a hurry.
"You go to the cell phone store!" Melati replied briefly without turning her head in the slightest towards Vero.
"Oh then let me drive you."
"No need, thank you."
"Why is that? Aren't you in a hurry? Besides, the mobile phone store is quite far from here, if you wait for public transportation, it will not prolong your time?? It'll close." Refer Vero.
Hearing that he suddenly made Melati step back he stopped, then slowly began to glance at Vero who was then beside him.
"Totally so." Chirps Jasmine in heart.
"Just relax, you don't have to be afraid of me, I'm not a bad person." Reveal Vero smiled very sweetly.
Supposedly as a normal woman in general, getting a smile like that from a handsome man, will certainly make the woman immediately clamps. But in fact it did not happen to Melati who at that time his heart seemed to die.
"Are there really bad people who claim to be evil?!"
Vero was immediately made to chuckle.
"In addition to jutek, it turns out you are also funny." Vero.
"And made me like it even more." But this time he said enough in his heart.
"Eeem." Reply Melati indifferently.
"Well, then, why not just use your instincts?"
"My instruction??" Melati also seems a little confused.
"Yes. Not so far many statements circulating, if a woman's instincts are never wrong or miss. Therefore, use your instincts to judge me." Obviously Vero who again continues to display his distinctive smile.
Melati fell silent, then she started to take a deep breath and replied.
"Eeemm, fine, let's go now."
"What?! Ja, so you agree to me drop off?" Vero also increasingly looks sumringah.
"Eeem." Answer Melati.
"Ah good, come on! My car's there."
Melati, inexplicably she can trust Vero who is actually still unfamiliar to her, but if talking about instincts, then her instincts seem to ask her to believe, and Melati finally complies, let his instincts work at the time.
...Seriate......
