Same Marriage as Duda

Just a Week's Work, Fired

I am excited to go to work today. The circular wristwatch, showing at 06:30 wib.

There's still an hour and a half left to work. So I stopped by a traditional hawker-seller. I bought enough snacks. Make a wedge of stomach, while. Because I rarely eat breakfast. Eating cake also feels full.

Arrive at work. Plan to eat, not good with coworkers. To be shared with friends, the purchase is limited. I finally broke my intention, and the cake was forced to be temporarily stored in a bag.

At the table near the cashier.  Some employees sat on the floor, in a cross-legged style. They lowered their heads, and no one spoke.

I who was a little surprised to see this atmosphere, was forced to also take a position sitting cross-legged, just like other employees.

There's a grandmother's supervisor. Brother Fira.

"Hey you! New employee! Stand you!" The grandmother focused her gaze on me.

The deg! I'm shocked. My heart pounding was suddenly not bad. I stood up but with my face bent.

"Let's explain your activities all day at this workplace" he told me.

I clearly detail what I do at work.

"You went to the back desk, didn't you, before you got back to work?" tanyanya and I nodded my head.

"At that back desk, you found a pink Fossil watch, didn't you? Then where did you get rid of that thing?!" ask the goddamn drop-in grandma, straight to the point to the heart of the matter.

I'm speechless.

"Let's explain, or you're leaving this room right now if you can't explain it." threatened the attached grandmother.

I still think long. Take off the circular watch on my wrist, then I speak frankly.

Really I'm still thinking about finding a way how that little grandma believes my explanation.

"Are you wearing that Fossil pink watch?"

For a long time, I finally decided to take the watch off my wrist.

"I don't know who this is, brother. So I brought it back. Plan, if today anyone feels like they lost this watch, I'll give it to that guy." I obviously tried to convince the attached grandmother.

*He laughed off.

"Haha!"

"Where there is a thief. If you are not forced to tell me, how can you say. Oh, no, no!" nyinyir.

"Basar granny attachments. It feels like the pink watch that I still hold, I want to throw it in his face. Let benjol!" my murmuring is upset.

"Give me that watch!" his orders half-snap me.

I also handed it to him.

"Udah. Disbanding. You guys are working as usual. Special Regina stays in place." the message.

"To my room!"

I also followed him from behind.

"Sit down!"

"sorry. You're dismissed." he said, and I'll take it for granted.

"Remember. You were dismissed without severance. So no demands whatsoever. Do you understand?!" emphatically. I'm bowed. Not saying a word.

"Pack your things in the locker. No one is left behind."

Again, I just nodded my head.

"Yes, please leave if there is no interest in this room." he pushed seriously.

I hurried to step away, leaving my grandmother's study.

Go home, with sadness. The shadow wants to get a salary next month, gone already.

"awake. You don't work?!" asked the mother, who tried to wake me up, because she saw the wall clock already showed at 08.00 wib.

I didn't answer, but instead wrapped my body in a blanket.

Because I was cuekin, mom pulled the tip of my thumb.

"Hey the lazy boy. You're not working?" ask me, repeat it. He kept pulling my big toe. Then tickle my waist.

"Guy mom!" I shouted with my mouth covered with bolsters.

"But if you don't wake up, you keep disturbing me" said the mother, trading with me.

"Mother!"

"Tau gel!"

Forced awake. Because his sleep was uncomfortable. There's bullies.

I fixed my position, sat on the bed. Then talk to mom, if I've not worked at the place yesterday.

"Bright. Why?" Mother wonder.

Explain why. I no longer have interest in working there. Because the supervisor is bad.

"Basar you are the one who cannot wait to face the fierce supervisor. Try to hold on. Will be near Lebaran later, get THR. It's good." said mom.

"Yes very bad he. Afraid of me, Mom. Just like a lion would pounce on people." I obviously tried to make you believe my reason why I quit my job.

***

Applying to work at Ucok Baba vegetable store.

Without many requirements. I was accepted to work there.

"You're helping out if there's a buyer, can you?" that's all the conditions he put me through.

"Can Ko." I replied cheerfully.

I happy. Because Ucok Baba is not far from home. Wake morning. Bathing, just a few meters, directly to the destination.

Enter at 07.00 wib. Turn around at 16.00 wib. His salary received seven hundred thousand, a month.

"Where do you work in Ucok. Be careful not to do much. Later to be fired again, at Ucok Baba." chirped mom a little bit.

"Ih mother. This prayer I'm fired again?" I said protest with his statement.

"Yes that's not it. Mom just reminded me. Don't make any weird behavior. Let me work there. If you get money.  Cumulated. Let's buy your dream car." mother's message at length.

And.I guarantee the mother's statement, inwardly.

"Later if I get my first paycheck. What do you want me to buy?" tanyaku.

"Job is good. It's easy to treat." says mom.

"Hmmm. C'mon ma'am. Tell me what to buy?" my insistence. I just want to know what you want to buy. But, honestly for a while I haven't had any money. I promise that if I get my first paycheck, I'll buy you a meal.

"Eh how. Isn't that Ucok Baba?" ask mother.

"Gallags. Bin especially. More fierce. But not everything my supervisor did at Noname's cafe yesterday. Erratic macem grandma drop by." I call badmouthing the grandmother drop by.

Ah forget him! Make it upset if you remember the attached grandmother.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Ucok Baba gave me tips. Especially that Sunday. I was offered a job or off. If working, get a bonus of 50 thousand a day. If off. You're not given anything.

Because first work there. I chose to go to work on Sunday. It's good to get a bonus. You can buy your mother her favorite food.

"Mother ..I got an overtime bonus from Ucok Baba. Fifty thousand," I said with excitement as I pointed out the fifty thousand note.

"Alhamdulillah" he said.

"Reviews don't make all snacks. Partial tube, so you can buy your dream car," said the mother enthusiastically.

"Hmmmmm. How many nabung. How much the car costs too. I think it's still far from my dream. If possible, marry a widower. More cool. No need to work hard, if you ask for a car, must be bought." I said in my heart, fantasizing. (**)
