The Gem of the Heart of the Former Thug

I want to shoot Adel

Only a moment later did he fall asleep in his sleep, dawn had already come. The sound of the adhan from the mushola near the house, suddenly pulled him back to the conscious.

This time, the sleepiness was really heavy. After the dawn prayer, he returned to his room and continued his sleep. No matter what his sister scolds him. Mrs Ratih asked the Princess to let her brother sleep again.

Her mother's smile was seen keeping many stories, in the eyes of the Princess. He does not want to argue. Forced, he replaced his brother's duties to help his mother open the stall. They left without saying goodbye.

The sun is too high for someone to fall asleep in the morning. The window that was opened by the Princess earlier, no doubt made the sunlight barge in without a barrier. Dazzling Budi's eyes, though still closed.

“Eeemm, oooooookkkhhh”

He yawned and rolled to the opposite side. For a moment he opened his eyes. It felt strange to him, there were no voices of his sister and mother. It's also too bright for a fifteen-watt light.

“Astaghfirulloh”

He cried out while jumping up from his sleep. With a hasty movement he immediately picked up the towel and entered the bathroom. The morning activity this time looked messy. Grasak-grusuk. How not, it's eight o'clock past fifteen minutes. And Budi is still at home.

“Why not wake up Budi anyway, Put?” omel Budi growled.

DAAAKKS

“ADUUH”

He kicked the leg of his study table. He was tiptoeing because his right leg hurt so much. He ignored his breakfast activities. The most important thing is to get to work immediately.

The maroon he geber like a racing bike. No matter if the police are shouting at him. He kept speeding and focused on the road. He wanted to shorten his time. Perhaps he could only spend five minutes on the road.

“Bos, late tumben?” the company's security.

“Wah long story, pak” replied Budi. He gasped as soon as the gate opened for him.

Half-run, he went straight into the office. Anyway, paul is in his cubicle. Talked to Aldo and Riki.

“Nah, it's Budi, pak” said Aldo pointing at him.

Already caught red-handed, yes already, just give up. So thought Budi. With a gentleman's step, he walked towards Paul sir.

“Why is it late?” ask Paul directly to the core. It seems that he is not the type of person who is tolerant of late-entering employees. Employee in the next cubic, on peek. Because Mr. Paul's voice is quite loud and echoed throughout the office.

“Sorry sir. There is an accident” replied Budi.

“Why?” ask Paul again.

“Something's been haunting me, sir. I can sleep at dawn. Abis dawn is heavy. Uh, not built with mom. Bablas, pak” replied Budi.

“Ghost? You are worshiping. Where are there ghosts who dare to be with you?” refuse Paul sir.

“It is so, pak”

“Kok you scared? Are you a God-man?”

“Yah, sir. This is the first time I have experienced. If only bother me it's Aldo, I've hit use sempak”

“Campret, lu” says Aldo.

“Ha ha ha ha” sir Paul finally laughed. Other employees laughed too.

“It seems, it's a female ghost, deh”

“Kuntilanak” says Aldo.

“Again puber” sahut pak Paul.

“Kunti already have a child, Do?” correction of Riki on Aldo.

“Puber to two” replied Aldo.

“Ha ha ha ha” sir Paul laughs again.

“Ya. You need to find a solution, yes! sowan kiai or ustad who can ngusir ghost! I don't want you to be late again” said Mr. Paul.

“Siap, pak” reply Budi.

“Ya. That's target. You have to make it elaized!”

“Good, pak” reply Budi again.

Mr. Paul walked out of the PPIC cubic while shaking his head. He still feels funny with the story of Budi who bullied ghosts.

He said Budi's story was true. In fact, what haunts Budi is not kuntilnak or the like, but the face of a beautiful woman named Adel.

“This cheer, we should be ready for him this kind of set. The buyer will take it straight here. So, you have to be sure, the frame is ready for a maximum of ten” hours said Aldo giving instructions. Riki mangosteen, but Budi did not immediately answer.

“Bud!” reproof Aldo.

“Eh, yes. noon should send two sets, right? Beres” sahut Budi stuttered.

“That type. You're not nangkep?” Aldo Correction.

“Iya, which it” says Budi.

“Eh, what is it?” continue Budi.

“Nah, right. Nangkep”

“Wah, mbak kunti outrageous. Si Budi so bego” comments Riki.

“Asem. You say, little but nyelekit” said Budi while punching Riki's arm.

Aldo who was upset finally laughed. Then he explained again about the unit that was not commonly produced.

Old designs that are only occasionally produced on order. From the picture that Riki shows, Budi can make a simulation in his mind.

“Oke, ten o'clock. Two units” said Budi undertakes that target.

He went straight to the frame department, where he was on duty. And relay the plan to Mr. Teguh. Mr. Teguh undertakes the plan given by Budi.

At once, the plan was immediately carried out from the start of material selection. Because this unit is the first time Budi escorts production, he was curious. He went to the preparation room.

Although he did not work, he also saw how the oblong material was cut into certain sizes as in the picture.

During the material cutting process, even though the saw machine is automatic, the operator must remain focused to provide cooling with water. So that makes him not pay attention to Budi.

His mind was drifting, his memories replaying the memories as he passed Adel in front of his bathroom. A fresh face that has not been touched by makeup, long hair that is wet from shampooing, and the Princess dress that she wears. Everything was beautiful in his eyes.

If allowed, he wanted to stay longer, enjoying every beauty that Adel had. Even though he is covered. Because seeing it from behind, was also no less thrilling for his heart. That slender waist, blends beautifully with slightly widened hips.

“Kalo likes, mending constantly aja”

A greeting broke his daydream. Especially accompanied by a clap on his shoulders.

“Then I met, maybe she was pretty” continued the man.

“I mean Mr Paul, who?” ask Budi.

“Mbak Kunti's. Ha ha hah ha” replied Paul with a laugh.

“Hemfff”

Budi sighed. He smiled with relief. It turns out that what Paul meant was a kuntilanak ghost, as Aldo said. Not Adel, as he was daydreaming.

“Don't daydream, here too. Fear, the one at home has the same video call here. You are cute. It could be that the ones here are interested as well. Ha ha ha ha” continued Paul again.

Next, Paul invited Budi to discuss about this special unit. Budi conveyed his plan. And Paul supports the plan. He just advised Budi to be careful with the finishing team. Don't get mollor. Budi.

Luckily, with Paul's pack in the factory, Dino didn't wrinkle. He seemed to be the only one sitting down enjoying a cup of coffee. While his four friends are actively working.

Without a single rebuttal, Budi conveyed his plan. Starting from the welding team to the finishing. Although without Dino in his post, but the frame he asked for, finished even before his time.

Budi returned to the office, after the frames ordered, brought to the woven department. He intended to take a drink, because he felt thirsty. But when he was about to press the knob on the dispenser, he was suddenly stunned.

His gaze was on someone walking towards him. Even if he's not the goal. But in his eyes, it looked strange, that person could be in this office, in a uniform similar to the one he was wearing, albeit in a different color.

Adel? How can?

Budi felt increasingly awkward, when Adel just smiled at him, but did not approach him at all. He even talked to the finance staff regardless of him. So curious, he broke his intention to take a drink.

“Hai. Why are you here?” ask after approaching.

“Hai. Oh, I'm writing to Hilda”

“Hem?”

You feel very awkward. That's receptionist work. Since when did he become the receptionist of this company? Today then? But why not say? And why is his attitude so different? It was as if there was no closeness between him and himself.

“Wah, chaotic. The first experience was amazing. Sampe-sampe Marsya asked, why come here”

The voice reappeared. He turned his body, facing the source of the sound. Paul laughed when he saw her confused.

Marshy?

Budi turned his body again, facing towards Adel.

So, how is it Marsya? Where's adel? What don't-don't? Astarghfirulloh.

“I suspect, here. Don't-don't you have been cheated last night, same him?” paul said again. This time he embraced Budi's shoulders, like two best friends.

“Whose name, sir?” ask Marsya.

“Mbak Kunti's. Ha ha ha ha” replied Paul while laughing loosely.

Marsya was confused by Paul's intentions. He thought that Kunti was a woman's name. But after being explained by Hilda, she laughed along. Even his voice was so loud.

After Paul left, Budi also left. This time he walked to the front door of the office. He wants to have coffee in the cafeteria.

Certainly, all the way up to the reception desk, Marsya faithfully teased him. At the cafeteria, he ordered a cup of coffee.

Without paying attention to the surroundings, he immediately sat down and played his phone. He opened the short message app.

Assalamu’alaikum. Del, what's up?

He sent an opening sentence to his heart.

Wa’alaikum greetings. College again, Bud. What's up?

It didn't take long to wait for a reply.

Do you have a job today?

The next sentence, it sounds starting to lead. No pleasantries.

No, it's a holiday. Does it need to be the same me?

The same answer pours him.

I can meet you at the cafe, right? In the afternoon, after my work hours are over?

Really to the point. Men don't talk too much!

Lt could. Yes, my college sister went there, yes. But now, silent radio first huh?

The answer made him a little bit angry. A step has been made. Just prepare for the next step.

Okay. Thanks, I'll see you later. Assalamu’alaikum

Send the final sentence as a closing.

Wa’alaikum greetings.

The delusion floated again. Deep down, he hoped that there would be a miracle that would unite him with his idol. Then he prayed that Allah would be able to match him with Adelia Fitri.

As soon as the bell rings, Budi can no longer hold back. He immediately said goodbye to Aldo and Riki. They look confused, but they seem to understand. They thought, Budi will go to one of the kiai, to consult about the disturbance of ghosts in his house.

“Loh, rich makmum masbuk aja, boss. Dateng the very back, turn home the front” comment scurity factory.

“He he”

Budi just smiled wryly as he passed after checking the body and vehicle. He did not want to waste time just to respond to the joke.he immediately tancap gas, towards the cafe that had been agreed with Adel this morning.
