The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug
mental exam for Adel



Tomorrow, Mr. Fajar has been declared outpatient. He was brought home from the puskesmas. Only, Mr. Fajar has not been able to go to PT.PRAM to take care of the project he will take. As per the initial plan, Mr. Fajar assigned Adel to replace him.


In the lobby of PT.PRAM, there was a stiff situation. It was because Adel met Erika in the lobby room. Erika initially greeted him with a friendly smile. But when he finds out that Adel is coming because he is going to take on a project for his father, Erika's friendliness fades away. He showed his dislike to Adel. He also insinuated how his father Adel treated Budi.


For a few minutes, Erika kept insinuating Adel. Unaware of the coming of the Budi. Adel kept restraining himself. Especially when Budi gave him a signal to stay calm. In the end, Budi greeted Adel, as if he had just entered the lobby. Adel smiled, feeling that his suffering was over.


Feeling disliked, Erika acted as a reminder to Budi of the work that Budi must finish. He also emphasized that the work in the field is high, and cannot be left for long. Smile with a smile.


“Tuh, right. Believe me, if he likes Abram?” chirps Adel lirih. But Marsya could still hear it. He smiled at Adel's jealousy.


“Let's just! Erika this. If Marsya noh, Baru” replied Budi.


“Kok I brought?” marsya exclaimed from behind the reception desk.


“Ha ha ha” Budi laughs, feels funny about.


“Sun amatek ajiku jaran rocking. Shake sakjeroning background” Budi said while pulling Adel's hand to walk.


“Dih. Ugly as well I still have faith, mas. Very less work, people use jaran shake” exclaimed Marsya feel insinuated by the words Budi.


“Ha ha ha ha”


Laugh without looking. Only Adel turned his head, laughing as well. Marsya also laughed. That's because he knew that Budi was just kidding.


Inside the office, Adel was immediately greeted by Farah. It just so happened that Farah was having a discussion with Aldo and Riki, right in the middle of the office.


*Huwannuru yahdil kha irina dziyau hu*...


Suddenly, the phone rings. Budi had to frown, while reading the name listed on the screen of his phone.


“Ta, next, same as Farah, yes!” the word of God to Adel.


“Where are you?” ask Farah.


“It. Mr. Isaac nelpon” replied Budi.


“Lah. Not sleeping what, that's people?” farah's Comments.


“Tahu” replied Budi as he passed.


Adel still watched Budi for a while. But from the conversation in English, Adel understood, if his lover was indeed talking about business with the customer of this company. He smiled proudly as his father's name was also mentioned several times by Budi.


In the marketing office, Farah explained what is the obligation and what is the right of Mr. Dawn if this order is taken. Right, of course. Fifteen million, clean. No tax deductions, no shipping charges.


But the obligation is to provide five sets of guest seats within the next two days. Because there are five bookers who want a sample, especially for them.


This time period is what then makes Adel think again. He called his father first, to ask about his production readiness. When Budi entered for the coordination of the European expo, Adel had not finished calling.


“It seems like a real headache, ta?” greet Budi, when Adel finished calling.


Hilda whistles seduces Budi. Make Budi, and Adel smiles. Including Farah.


“That, an order from Luki, so ganjalan” Adel replied.


“Kok odd? Rejeki you know, it” comments Budi.


“Hemhh. But still be a wedge, Bram” replied Adel.


*Krieeeet*


The sound of the marketing room door opening. Looks like someone emerged from the gap of the door that was not opened perfectly.


“Far, the DP is processed, right? Want me ajuin all, to sir Paul” the man called out to Farah.


“Wait a minute, mbak Isma! Again talked, this. I told you” replied Farah.


“Half hours, huh? If it's not okay yet, it means tomorrow ngajuinya”


“OK, mbak Isma. Thanks” replied Farah.


The marketing room door was closed again. Adel seemed to be taking the phone call. Obviously that was from his father. But it seems they haven't found a way out.


“Why dizzy-dizziness, Ta?” tegur Budi's.


“Ya continue?” ask Adel.


“Subcont has Luki! One of the division heads here, has adek that makes furniture as well. Yesterday he was just perched at number four. But the work is no less good. Just lost the design. If you want, go in there! They are loose again. Can catch up on time” replied Budi.


“Oh, yes. Subcont, huh? Bener too, tuh” Adel comments.


He called his father. While waiting for the outcome of the conversation, Budi interrupted Farah's time to discuss Mr.'s request. Isaac.


“Bram” call Adel slowly.


“Hem?” Be distracted.


“Call for the number that has that furniture” said Adel.


“Mbak, you have, right?” He threw it at Farah.


“Oh, ada” replied Farah.


Adel asked permission to call first. Because there is Budi, Farahpun allows. Then Farah himself again discussed with Budi about the prospect of sales in Europe later. Hild was involved in the discussion. A while later, Adel returns to Farah's desk.


“Where, mbak?” ask Farah.


“It's resolved, wedge?”


“Alhamdulillah, already”


“Well then, please sign here and here!” answer Farah.


Shortly thereafter, the process of signing the contract was completed. Furthermore, Farah asked Adel to wait for the down payment to be made.


Farah said the money would be liquid in an hour or two. But it turned out much faster. Because Mr. Paul was present directly to the office, and Isma could apply directly. Just ten minutes later, Adel gets a call from home, if the down payment has come in. Adel thanked Farah, Hilda, and of course Budi.


“Next, how?" ask her a pleasant thought, when Adel was about to go home.


“Go home, lah. Kan sir Heri want to go to home” replied Adel.


“Pak Heri?”


“Ya who has the furniture was”


“Oh. Adeknya Pak Tanto's. Tata also nanganin?”


“It looks like father deh, the nego-nego”


“OK. Want breakfast first?” bargain Yourself.


“Don't be weird, deh! Nyenengin Erika, that's sih”


“Lah, how about Erika?” ask Budi confused. But also chuckling.


“Yes if Abram has problems because of breakfast before the break, who first went to trial? He right?” adel answered, with a question. Just laugh again.


“Acting when angry, he. Originally, really, really can be alone with Abram” continued Adel.


“Ha ha ha ha. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yes already, ati-ati go home!” sahut Budi while laughing. She felt funny when she saw her lover being so jealous.


“Bram. If in the future father so ask Tata to manage his own furniture, how, dong?” ask Adel.


“Yes no papa. Nice, dong. Ngamalin sis” replied Budi.


“But Tata so can not help Abram”


“Oh. Yes, papa. I can still handle it, really. On average, the most rame visits are at the weekend. And semalem emang mother told Abram to nyariin employees again. Said mom, her gig job mbak Adel again rame”


“He he's. Yes, yes, Bram. That's why Tata kepiran. Do you have a candidate?” sahut Adel's.


“Not yet, anyway. Not yet thought” replied Budi.


“Ya. Take Tata, if you have a candidate. Let Tata be selective. He he”


“Siap. Mantep deh, if the Tata is nice, sih”


“Tata home yes, Bram. Assalamu’alaikum”


“Wa’alaikum salam”


Adel went with a wave of hands from Budi. Certainly with the accompaniment of prayer that comes from the heart.


As agreed, Mr. Fajar immediately speeded up the work of five samples that will be sent to customers in Europe.


This opportunity was used by Adel to make promotional videos. Budi had visited his wood workshop, Mr. Fajar. Performs its duties to monitor time and quality. Unfortunately Adel was in college, so could not meet.


Photos taken by Ms. Lusi, successfully made Adel smile. Being an encouragement when his college feels boring. How not, with the white-and-white uniform, Budi already looks dashing in Adel's eyes. Not to mention this time Budi stood up and talked with his father in his capacity to represent a company that has played in the global arena. Adel felt sure that soon, blessing that had been lost the other day, will return again.


In the evening, while Budi was busy preparing for his departure to Berlin, Adel shared a video report on the progress of making five sets of samples.


Besides Budi happy because the progress is still running on time, Adel also looks very beautiful tonight. At least that's what I see in your eyes. Makes him powerless to refrain from calling her.


I get more excited when I make video calls. Plain face without makeup polish Adel looks radiant with grains of water that has not been dried.


“Tata to pray isya’, Bram. Abram has prayed, not yet?”


“Oh, yes. udah isya’. Yes, Abram also wants to pray first” replied Budi.


“Ya. Followed abis prayer yes, Bram?”


“Iya” replied Budi with a smile.


“That's his smile. Why the hell, Bram? There's a strange what, same Tata?” ask Adel wonder.


“He he's. Abram could not stand waiting. Look at the video Tata, the inn wants to see directly” replied Budi.


“What?” adel asked with a funny face.


“Yes her face, dong. What is it?” sahut Budi's.


“Huufft. Thanks duh. Kirain” comments Adel after sighing.


“You want to see another one, hem be the question mark. Abram saw what, hayo?” continued Adel.


“Ha ha ha ha. Any-anytime, Ta”


They could look at each other. Admiring each other's faces. Until Budi did not realize that Aldo was coming near him. And of course, with Riki he teases Budi until Budi blushes in shame.
