Null Existence
14. Two Signs
The last time he wore the suit, he was on the highway with dozens of gunmen and was fighting them with a gunfight.
The three-layer suit he wore was deliberately ordered specifically according to the wearer, the position of the low buttons are in the narrowest part of the waistline, helping to lengthen his natural posture.
Neatly intersecting high-rise pants provide a longer and more elegant foot line.
The patented Suit material is much thinner and flexible, fifty percent lighter than Kevlar (the material commonly used in bulletproof vests).
The entire suit functions like a shield, with the hardening of carbon nanotubes on the fabric material to dampen penetration from the outside.
The material is also designed to withstand drastic surface temperatures, as well as protect the wearer from the attack of light sharp weapons and even 9mm bullets at some point.
The simple image is like a modern Armani suit but with military-grade tactical protection.
Now he re-wears his armor to welcome the first field of action after a long time neglected, HRD Manager Room.
As he turned in the row of sofas on the 13th floor, he saw the faint figure of Elsa and Nina talking in his office room. Coincidentally, he thought. They will all be direct.
But that was later, now that he was rushing towards the other room on the right, the door was then opened and a small woman came out with a large pile of files.
Rangga threw a smile at Julie who was a little surprised to see her appearance, then stepped into the HRD Manager Room even though Ajo and Mey seemed equally astonished.

“Now you tell me, you have accepted the work where, come bad luck and continue to talk about resign!” hardik Ajo, when both of them had come out of the HRD Room and argued on the roof.
“Not working, I told you before. But today there is work, after all, my suspension is also right, until payday next Monday?” rangga Reply.
“My coat, just today I saw lo nyolot in front of the Mey.”
“Yes not my nyolot, Bang. You know him from the beginning did not like me right, yes already wet like gini, yes I answer what is.”
“Don't be a professional dong, aura kalem lo usually where?”
“One of my pillow like last night, the effect of back and forth in WA is the same as him since Saturday about the fine of the car.” replied Rangga sarcastically.
“On the car is indeed an office regulation, about late lo too! But you do not even know you resign like washing hands, you think my face is also dong!” Ajo went back up and pointed at Rangga.
“Wash your hands? I cut my salary, that's obvious. I unplug also let Brother ga drag continue, he does have personal problems like because I was hired by Bu Elsa to replace her brother who you stopped.”
Rangga smashed Boba Tea plastic cups with a pointed pipette of drinking devices and downed a quarter of them.
“But you are also not welcome so dong by resigning. Don't make emotional decisions, even if you eneg same him.”
“This is not entirely emotional, I am also realistic.” replied Rangga, briefly.
Removing shirt buttons on the neck to repel sultry.
Ajo let out a long sigh and tried to control his emotions, in addition to the two of them there are other office employees and fellow employees Elsa and Partners who are spending the Coffee Break.
Although everyone avoided the corner where he and Rangga were arguing.
He then lit his cigarette and sat down next to Rangga.
“My salary is the rest of how many Bang, cut as much as that? Even though I tweet a month and keep working is also still lacking. Today I got a job offer, it is temporary but the money is big, so I can go from here and pay tuh car repair.” Rangga tried to explain later, as the tension between the two loosened.
“Lo if you need money, can lend me first, Rangga!” exclaim Ajo, then exhale the cigarette, then,
“Still Bang. But still, I owe.”
“Yes lo debt is the same I, you think I will love interest like loan sharks.”
“So I will be on the Scores, at the cut of salary, Brother follow in the satire of the same Grandma Magic. It's like this, right?”
“Rarely I'm horrified lo ngeyel like this. Whatever, for me the point is that you are still suspended, there is no resign-resign.” said Ajo.
“Yes don't like that Bang, I'm more unpleasant later the same other.” reject Rangga.
“Yes it is up to me, I'm not his boss, just like when I fired his brother.The Mey is just a Personnel Manager, no business of mine. Except for Miss Elsa who said,”
Rangga brushed off the cigarette smoke floating towards him and continued to suck the black balls in his drink one by one using a plastic pipette.
Ajo glanced at observing his behavior and rolled his eyeballs.
“After lunch, I leave Bang. But I will also share with Bu Elsa first,” said Rangga, slowly.
Ajo did not reply, occasionally he snorted, his face still sour.
Then she continued to puff her cigarette up to almost half a stick before turning the rest off and leaving without saying anything else, joining the group of female staff for regular dumping activities during Coffee Break.
Rangga had expected that his boss would react like this, he himself could also see his concern that was veiled by emotions. But he had also been steady and did not want to trouble Ajo any further.
Now it's just to hand over the envelope of the official resignation letter to Bu Elsa, because Ajo refused it in the HRD room earlier.
Rangga threw a smile at Raisa in the crowd of gossipers who are now infiltrated by Ajo and then continued his activities again, sipping black balls in his glasses one by one through a pipette.
“I also do not want to accept deh, if Ajo does not agree.” Elsa pushed back the envelope containing Rangga's resignation while still pinching her snacks.
Rangga sighed slowly and laughed crisply.
He did not expect at all Elsa would easily refuse his request.
Rangga misbehaved following the question, he might be able to talk more openly with Ajo for sensitive affairs like this, because of fellow men.
But Elsa, besides the highest superior in this company, he is also a kind person who accepted her to work first, it seems less alone for Rangga to answer with the same statement as to Ajo.
“About the damaged car when I brought it yesterday.”.
“Try lyingin me this you, you absorb it must be because there is a new job is not?” cut Elsa who had also observed the clothes Rangga was wearing.
“I don't mean that, Ms. Elsa.”
Rangga momentarily turned his gaze towards Nina who was sitting opposite him next to Elsa, trying to avoid the eyes of the highest boss in the office who now acts like a mother is interrogating her son who was caught truant school.
Nina's pupils slightly widened against the sharp glare of her eyes, her veins rustling, they had never looked as close as and all this time even though some were in the same place.
Both are like immobile objects trapped in a singularity, where the magnitude of gravity nailing them, as well as bending the far dimensions of space and time against those observing beyond the circle of effect.
Very short for Nina and Rangga, but very long for Miss Elsa.
Astrophysicists such as Einstein or Hawking referred to this as Time Play, while composers of Dangdut songs such as Haji Rhoma named this phenomenon as, for example, Time Play,
“The World Belongs to Both! I'm talking to you, you're looking at Dyah. Jealous of me,” chirped Elsa pretended to be upset, awakening both of them from the effects of the magic just now.
“I received a temporary job offer from acquaintances, because I thought I would be fired or at least on suspension a week. So this morning I decided to resign.” Rangga hurriedly replied.
Nina unknowingly turned to cover the smile of her dikulum and cheeks together, trying not to look wrong.
Elsa pushes a little container of snacks that she and Nina carry, offering Rangga.
“Cicipin deh, this Brownies Dyah itself makes, believe it does not taste good?” said Elsa.
Both Nina and Rangga were confused by this.
“Then, how about me?” ask Rangga.
“Yes no matter what, it is clear. SP2 and a week's suspension, so next Monday you go in again. But remember, on time!”
Rangga finally accepted the final decision from Elsa, he could have gone without saying goodbye as originally planned, anyway the suspension of a week or dismissal was not too different from the point of view of his account balance. But he did not want to repay the kindness received from Elsa with insolence.
“Thank you Miss Elsa.” Rangga slightly bowed while thanking her.
“By the way, the suit you wear costs how much is that tens of millions?”
“Eh, I borrowed Mom, I was asked to dress like this for the job I told you about.” Rangga tried to stand up, realizing the two women before him were observing the armor he was wearing.
“Your menu is good, tens of millions settings are pinjemin so aja,” said Elsa.
More precisely USD 32000 when I ordered first.
Rangga and the Princess exchanged looks. Then without hesitation he took a piece of brownies from the pink plastic container, and directly devoured it. Then add two more.
It tastes good too, thought Rangga.
Nice what a laper, Inner Nina.
Elsa gave a small smile to pay attention to the small dynamics in front of her, Rangga who was now not too awkward anymore and Nina who had been reduced acuhnya.
Especially when Rangga who greets the edge of his mouth with the back of his hand and Nina carefully observe the behavior.
***
Rangga then pleaded and left the two, Nina retorted. His figure disappeared behind the door of the stairway to the floor under the roof.
“It is also true that you said earlier,” said Elsa when they lived together.
“Which one, Bu?”
“On him whose personality is different.”
“Oh, Rangga..” Reply Nina.
“Yes, which we just saw in part and you said distant, similar to the same Rangga when helping me first. The mask seems like a lot, but I know he's a good guy. I can feel it anyway,”
“I think so too.”
“By the way you are, Dyah. When did I give you a wedding invitation, Mama-Papa you must have a fuss right?” Elsa suddenly turned the direction of the conversation.
Nina did not expect the topic will change direction,“Not a fuss anymore Mom, even if I work or hold a laptop at home.”
“Yeah, you're mature enough. I understand it too. How's your boyfriend?”
“Nathan and his Papa have also been back and forth wanting us to get married soon, I was also initially enthusiastic. But several times there were problems between us that made me like considering constantly and finally until now, sorry so vent Bu.” explained Nina, the closeness of the two is not uncommon to make Nina tell a story without hesitation related to her personal problems.
“I do not have a good quote for advice, but yes most do not believe in yourself before stepping. If you are not sure yes do not be rash, Nathan his son looks good and certainly can be responsible if only material. But, not a few people who are material enough but not happy enough.”
“Iya Ma'am, thanks for the banter,” Nina smiled sparkly.
“Especially if only material, you ‘kan not lacking you know, endorsement you are far more value than salary from me,” ledek Elsa later. Nina laughed behind the palm of her hand.
“Serious, Dyah. My husband and I used to live in a lecture when they were newly married and together in college. It felt when it could be nyicil first house was very happy, but small. It turned out that after he did not exist, I realized the material was not enough, alone in the big house was not as happy as the two of us in our narrow plot when he was still there.” Further.
