Today is the first day Arif was accepted to work on the project that is being handled by Zaki, initially everything went smoothly until Arif suddenly began to act.
"Rif, what's wrong with you?" ask the foreman who has since noticed Arif's movements are stiff and as if ogah ogahan. Though he was only asked to transport bricks from the front of the gate to the place that was on the foundation, the distance was not even ten meters.
"Small, sir." Arif said casually while sitting on foot under a cool building while chugging a can of coffee drink.
The foreman was just a head-scalp, not daring to reprimand because of Zaki's message to teach Arif patiently because he was a new child who still needed guidance.
To the next day, Arif was asked by the foreman to help install a brick wall in the next building. To give him a job that is rather light but requires precision. The foreman remembers Zaki saying that Arif is a painstaking person.
"Ah, I can't, sir. Just turn around." Arif snorted and left the foreman who could only look up to see Arif who casually just waltzed away.
The next day again, when the day arrives for Zaki to again miss the work of his project. The foreman asked Arif to stir the cement mix it with sand and gravel to make a cast of foundation castings.
But several times even Arif make water that is poured on cement and sand that overflow where and even add to the work alone.
"You've just been there, take the bucket and bring this later to the foundation." a handyman who had been furious to see Arif's behavior immediately took over and told Arif to do another task.
The carpenter started stirring the cement, and after mixing put it in a medium-sized black bucket that Arif was carrying.
"Bring this over there" he said, pointing to two buckets that already contained the cement mixture for Arif to carry.
Arif does it with ogah ogahan, very clear from the look of his face that is sour and not sincere.
Gubrakk!
Because of not sincerely working Arif tripped his own feet and fell jumbled with two buckets of cement that also fell to the ground, scattering to cover part of the face of Arif who nyungsep to the ground.
"Good, this kid!" Exclaimed the foreman who saw while holding his head frustrated because he could no longer bear to see the behavior of Arif.
Arif got up and cleaned the cement stuck on his face. Zaki who happened to be not far from there approached with an anxious look on his face.
"What's this about? Arif, what's wrong with you?" his pedicab.
The foreman snorted in annoyance. "Well, Mr. Zaki. Mumpung Father is still here, all I until if this child during work is never right to do anything, never done anything, everything is done at will if you can not directly stay and do not want to learn at all. His style looks like a rich man, even though the homeless. Taught not to, told not to be sincere, it feels like I want to explode, Mr. Zaki takes care of this child."
Pak mandor's breath looks kembis kembis while staring at Arif which is just planga plongo without any intention of defending himself.
Zaki tries to digest the existing conditions and asks Arif to come to his room after cleaning himself first.
"Sir," said Arif after opening the door of Zaki's room and entering.
"Come in, Rif."
Arif walked in and sat down in front of Zaki who was busy with his laptop.
"Well, what's wrong with you, Rif? Why is the foreman so angry with you?" tanya Zaki tried more gently.
"I .. I just don't concentrate on work, sir. I kept thinking about my mother who was sick."
Zaki scowled his nose while thinking about what to do in front of him.
"Then what do you want?"
Zaki's eyes are perfectly rounded. "What?"
****
"How now?" the phone rang again in the quiet room.
"Well, this time it seems like a failure. Haha, after all the Boss idea is too extreme, yes, the target wants to give his car to someone new in the know."
The boss who was none other than Mr. Jatmika turned his big chair and chuckled there.
"Well, it's also called effort. That way now I know, if my future daughter-in-law is a very careful person and also think long about the cause and effect of what she does. Good work, after this I'll transfer the fee for you."
"Well, thank you, sir. I can't wait to go home to see my widow," kekeh Arif.
"Hahah, you crazy toy widow. Yeah, whatever, I hang up."
Mr. Jatmika disconnected the phone call, his intention was to switch to calling Zaki to ask him to come to his house tomorrow. But another call went into his cell phone made Mr. Jatmika undo the intention to call Zaki and raise the call first.
"Hello," said Mr. Jatmika with a cold tone that became his trademark.
"No need to talk, boss. Where's my remaining pay? He said he wanted to transfer now. I do not want to know yes, the boss has made me embarrassed because of failing to tease the boss's future son-in-law. Anyway I want compensation, or I will not report everything to the man." threatening a voice on the phone that seems to be Mr. Jatmika's surrogate who had previously failed to tease Zaki.
Mr. Jatmika chuckles. "Hahaha, alright, Joko. I'll transfer now huh."
"Heh, haphazardly yes you! Joko, Joko .. Who is it? Eike's name is Jannah! Understood?"
Mr. Jatmika is getting chuckling. "The name of heaven but the behavior of hell."
"Oh, boss. Do not interfere in the affairs of people, like the straight life. Now that boss just has to transfer my pay, not comment on my life."
"Yes, yeah. Yes, I turned off the phone. You just wait for the transfer."
Tut
Mr. Jatmika turned off his phone and switched to m-banking first to transfer some money to Arif and also Joko, uh Jannah he said.
After that, Jatmika returned to his original intention to ask Zaki to see him tomorrow.
"Assalamu'alaikum," Zaki said after Mr. Jatmika's phone connection.
"Wa'alaikumsalam, Mr. Zaki. Look, I'd like to invite you to dinner at my house tomorrow. Do you have time?"
"God is there, sir. Can you take the mother?" ask Zaki excitedly.
"Of course, I'll tell Dara and the twins first huh. Oh, or do you want to let them know?" tawar Pak Jatmika's.
"Yes, Sir. Let me just, I try to be on time."
Mr. Jatmika smiled with satisfaction. "All right, I'll get everything ready. See you tomorrow night."
