The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

back to work in flood

This morning, I went back to work. Like when he came in after the tragedy, many employees asked about his condition, his family, and his home.

Budi told his story, which he added a lot with his expression of gratitude, with help from the surrounding residents, from the company, and in particular, from his beloved. Hearing the last name called Budi, those who asked boisterously commented.

Budi also did not forget to convey openly, his gratitude to Erika and Marsya, who specifically came directly to his house, bringing help from the company. And also his gratitude because Erika and Marsya helped him clean his house.

Marsya's face met red, she blushed shyly to get a thank you in front of office friends. He could only smile, without commenting. His heart was covered with haru.

For the first time after the division was dissolved, Budi carried out his duties from the HRD office. There is something different when the marketing team provides targets for the PPIC team. No more Stevani, who always gets Aldo excited. This time it was Ratna who delivered the target sheet.

Aldo who had forgotten, was initially excited when the door of the HRD office was knocked from the outside. But the moment he saw what appeared was Ratna, he came back uninspired. I feel bad for Aldo. But how, the law is still the law. When Aldo was still reading the target sheet, Budi felt he had an idea.

“Mbak, that file, it's all right?” ask Budi.

She addressed her question to Erika, but her eyes were still focused on staring at her monitor screen. Not only Erika, Ratna, Riki, and Aldo himself also turned to look at him.

“Why?” erika Sahut.

“We have something strange” replied Budi.

Erika shifted her seat closer towards Budi. Seeing Budi can steal Erika's attention, jealousy arises in Aldo's heart. As a senior, he felt unwilling to be surpassed twice by Budi.

“This one, mbak. It's absent late because there is an office order, what is really the entry on the outside task?” ask Budi.

Aldo looked up at Budi. Now, Budi has stepped up in the HRD division, by becoming Erika's assistant.

“OK, Na. A little down, huh?”

Aldo's voice echoed in this room. As if to show his existence.

“Ya, Vani's case is the same as Dino, just make repot” replied Ratna. Budi jerked.

“Udah really, Bud” Erika's voice change that echoes. Although not as loud as Aldo's voice before.

“Udah really, huh? Alhamdulillah” sahut Budi.

“Each of Paul again to LN, make meet with this customer. Let's not run away again. The money is big. Mantep make a stepping stone to explore the European market with america” Ratna said again.

“OK. I hope there is good news, yes. We will definitely, this target holds all” said Aldo.

“OK. Good luck” says Ratna.

“Come, mbak!” the farewell to Erika.

“Eh, yes Na. Thanks, ya” says Erika. Ratna simply replied with a thumbs up. Then left his former office.

“Ki, still busy?” ask Aldo.

“Udah no matter what, just wait for the Budi” replied Riki.

“Bud, can you ask for a minute?” aldo asked Budi.

Erika, who had returned to her desk, turned to look at Aldo. A moment later he turned to Budi. Smile meaningfully. Erika was confused by the meaning of that smile.

“Oke” reply Budi.

Aldo feels he should be able to maintain his position as a senior in the PPIC team. To say the least, he had the pride of being able to lead the morning briefing, and lead the PPIC team. Which meant also, he could condition Budi under his command.

Erika temporarily stopped her work. He noticed how Aldo was leading the briefing this morning. According to him there was jealousy in Aldo towards Budi, and Budi knew that.

Erika smiled when she realized that Budi's question to her was just the mind of Budi, so that Aldo was provoked by his jealousy. That way, there will be a sense of passion in Aldo, to show that he is still senior.

Budi deliberately positioned himself as a junior who was under the command of Aldo, so that Aldo remained focused on the job, and did not become weak because there was no Stevani around. Erika smiled again as Budi returned to his desk, to pick up the equipment he used to use while on the field.

A man walks down the hallway between rooms. The place was a simple jasmine-class hotel, which was secluded in the suburbs. He seemed to match the image on his phone screen with the numbers attached to the door. After finding the same number, he knocked on the door. And a middle-aged woman came out to greet him. They immediately entered the hotel room.

“Tumben really mommy ngajakin afternoon like this?” ask the man.

“Mumpung your father again out of town” replied the woman.

“Yes, but in what order, ma'am? Feelings, no special happenings”

“Ha ha ha ha. Emang, not as special as when he was doused eek people. But this is also special” replied the woman with a laugh.

“Hem? I don't know, deh”

“Ha ha ha ha. Yes naturally, the abis flood yesterday, you immediately go so. try if you want to diem at home. Uuh, rame, Di”

“What's the matter, Bu?”

“Ha ha ha ha. Si Ratih, bermaki-maki his parents Adel” replied the woman.

“Masa anyway? how can?”

“Look for yourself!”

The woman gave him her phone, where a video was playing on her screen. Adi looked serious watching the video. Sometimes he laughs at the swearing and insults that come out of the video.

“Ha ha ha ha. This cool original, mom says what's the same with Adel's mom, how can she get that spirit.?”

“There's deh” replied the woman.

“Original, Adi is very fond of seeing his face Ratih bullek. Rich boiled crab. Hi hi hi hi hi. Especially the Budi. ha ha ha ha”

“Seneng right, you? That's why mom is so cute from yesterday”

“Makanya, I want to celebrate this fun moment. My father also left. You know right, you mean mom?”

“Pasti know dong, mom. Incidentally, Adi is also again a potato banget” Adi replied.

“Is is. Mother's son made potatoes again? Can what the hell is a girl?”

“It could be everything, ma'am. Just don't want to get rich mom yet. Face again, face again”

“Ha ha ha ha. Oh, gee? Yes it's here! I love what your girl can't love. I love the bonus. Mumpung mom again happy, nih”

“Serious, mom?”

“Bener”

“Asyik”

The next thing that happened, it was very inappropriate to tell. Even for the most barbarian communities, abroad, what they do is still taboo. Don’t try this at home!

Still focus on machine preparation operators. As usual, with a stopwatch in his hand, he calculated the time it took in a single round. Budi seemed to talk to the operator he was paying attention to.

Discussion there. He seemed to give input so that the time needed could be less. Mr. Teguh who was beside him welcomed Budi's idea and they tried the idea. Turns out to be true, the process can cut time by up to two seconds.

After that, he switched to the area of welding and also finishing. He said hello to the operator who was moving goods. Until he had been standing there for some time, he had not seen what could be driven again. Everything is running optimally. Instead he was attracted to a woman, a transfer from the woven department.

He was transferred to the frame department to get into the finishing team. He acts as a painter. From the style he put the frame on to the top of the hanger, the way he sprayed his paint, looked different than the others. It is more sensual if it is done in terms of visual. Budi thought, it would be interesting to be used as a promotional medium.

“Lu mantengin it works what is the person?”

A voice surprised him. To his surprise, he jumped one step to the right. Of course the person who reprimanded him laughed gigglingly, seeing him shocked was not a bitch.

“Kaya kunti aja, mbak. Not surprised by his grandfather. Know-know already on the eavesdropping aja” comment Budi.

“Ha ha ha ha. You know, daydreaming. Mantengin sampe do not terrorize people Jal” kilahnya.

“He he's. There is an interesting abisnya, sih” said Budi.

“Iya anyway.a very cute, she. Scratch address, the Adel”

“Astaghfirulloh, rika. Far very thought” exclaimed Budi.

“Ya continue?”

“Hadeeh. That, mbak. The way he playedin spray gun tuh, sensual banget”

“Terus?”

“Make a promotional clip, good tuh” replied Budi.

“Eh?”

Erika gasped at Budi's answer. His eyes immediately focused on the woman Budi was watching.

“Ber also says you, Bud. What idea do you have, make klipny?” erika's Comments.

“Yes haven't thought, mbak. Just passing by too, it's already been tagged, earlier”

“Ha ha ha ha. Yes already. Thought while walking Yuk!” bring Erika.

They walk again. Eika invites Budi to the woven area. Erika also seemed to be observing one by one the employees in this department.

But not with Budi. He immediately got into action when he realized that there was equipment lying in the path of people and goods, which could potentially be a source of danger. He immediately asked Tami to clean up the equipment. Someone approached with a plastic box. And with the box, Tami's mom kept the equipment that was still not finished using.

Erika just smiled while shaking her head. In his heart he praised the firmness of Budi, who did not want to take the risk. He thumbs up two thumbs as he returns to her. Write down what just became his findings.

“Where is your case with Vani?” asked Erika, opening the silence. Budi gasp.

“Eem. Still under investigation, sih”

“Princess, have you checked?”

“Udah. Daughter, mother, I. Adel is also"

“Certainly, so far what does the police say?”

“Eeem. There's no one yet. In terms of evidence, my report is strong. All the files, stuff, I've sent it all to the investigator. The ball is in Vani”

“She's, of course, gonna deny, Bud. Where's anybody gonna confess to his crime?”

“Yes, that business, I don't know. If he says in slander, yes he must prove himself if he is in slander”

“Oh. Looking for a lawyer?”

“Not yet. Adel anyway, that's already”

“Kalo do need, do not hesitate to say the same to me. I'll help you, kok”

“Still yes, mbak”

“Entar aja thanks, if I have helped. He he”

Be chuckled. Erika said back to her office. When he invited Budi to return to the office, Budi refused. He reasoned that there were still people who had to condition. Due to today's target, it is still in the range of ninety-five percent of the previous target. It means not to be careless either. Erika understood, and she returned to her office alone.
