The Love In Cruise Ship

Adaptation and Pcs tests

Working on land and at sea is different. Erika needs to adapt. Moreover, the food available is also not very good. It is fitting that the crew who came to the restaurant where his work was so greedy to order food. The food on the ship did not taste very good. He still had to get used to working half-morning until noon, half-sift again from 6 pm to midnight.

Fortunately Manoj is not a boss who is too hard or the term hard time. If he had done what he was told well, Manoj would not have told him again. There is a superior who when his men finish doing something he will tell to repeat it.

"Erika and Putu, next week you have Pcs tests. Prepare and learn. If you don't understand ask me or Putu. He has a lot of experience, "clearly Manoj finished the meeting after the job was over. He smiled to see Putu who pretended to flutter.

"Ah boss, you gave me hard time. But since Erika is beautiful, I don't mind teaching her" Putu replied. He knew his supervisor was joking.

"Ticks, what the hell are Pcs tests?" erika asked not too knowing.

"Pcs test to get an emergency card, about the boat drill if the ship is in danger, " replied Putu.

Putu's answer did not make Erika satisfied. Because Erika knew, Putu had not eaten yet and she wanted to go to the dining room immediately.

" Fatty huh?" someone asked as Erika walked down the corridor towards her cabin.

"Yes pretty good," Erika recognized Jayden's voice.

"Have you finished work?"

"I'm just getting started. Shift night."

"Why are you here?"

"I was mamagayo," Jayden laughed cunningly considering he had just run into his supervisor. (mamagayo is relaxing during work hours)

"Then get in my cabin."

"A girl asked me into her cabin...Aaahhh," Jayden put on a perverted face.

"You don't scratch his brain. I'd like to ask you about the Pcs test."

"Ohhh..." Jayden put on a look of pretending to be sad and then gawked into Erika's cabin.

"Don't you have a mate's cabin?" (cabin mate: roommate) Jayden circulated the view to the cabin ceiling.

"Ga there," Erika was busy opening her shoes.

Jayden sat in the only seat in Erika's cabin. comforted himself and asked: "So what can I help you with Pcs tests?"

"Can you teach me about the grid?" Erika sulking. And it seems Jayden is different from Putu who is hungry.

"Give me your emergency card," after getting Erika's emergency card, Jayden read it, and said: "You've memorized what's here. Usually this will come out during the Pcs test. For example, where your muster station is. Where you should take a spare life jacket if your cabin fires. If you have memorized and then learn behind your emergency card. Warning if there is a fire? For example, if there is a fire, cabin attention 1026 alpha code, alpha code gtu."

"So that's it?"

"Yes that's it. We are not here to do difficult tests. If we have to burden the difficult test we must have been stressed," Jayden's sentence does have a point.

"Thank you" said Erika sincerely.

"That's all? No kisses that hug?" jayden protest.

"Well here I hug and kiss," Erika opened her arms, planning to hug and kiss Jayden on the cheek. But the reaction Jayden gave was different.

"I was just kidding. All right, I'll go first" said Jayden, shuffling Erika's hair. He saw the phone ringing incessantly and hurried away. (In a work grub, there is usually an employee or more who are given a mobile phone. The phone is used for work purposes. And I used it in the ship. After work, the phone is handed over to the supervisor again)

"Damn! I got caught by the boss. Die me!"

Erika smiled at Jayden. He is like Mauricio with different cultural origins. He realized Jayden was not used to hugs and kisses so he refused, although at the beginning Jayden teased him.

...***...

Because it was the first time Erika was nervous. He was afraid it would not work. But Jayden said if it doesn't work out, Erika will get special training and try again until it works. It made Erika's heart calm a little.

"Erika, you want me first or you first?" tanya Putu sympathized.

"You go first," Erika let Putu who advanced the Pcs test first, so that Erika can know more about what the safety officer asked.

10 Minutes passed and it was Erika's turn, while Putu who had escaped, told Erika to go first.

"How's the announcement for the medical team?" ask a 3rd officer to Erika.

"Medical response team! Medical response team, location."

3rd officer nodded. Then ask again.

"If you see the fire on the ship. What are you gonna do?"

"I'm gonna call my supervisor and call bridge."

"What's the bridge's phone number on the ship?"

"911"

"congratulations. You're pass it," 3rd officer smiled.

"Thank You sir," Erika was able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he ran to his cabin. Smiling, along the corridor.

"You why? Winning bingo?" ask Martin when he's down the hall.

"I made it in the Pcs test," Erika jumped up and down to meet Martin in surprise and then smiled.

"The circuit has won bingo! Don't you ask for a deal?" Martin chuckles.

"Besoklah if there is more money I buy banana pizza."

"It's just banana pizza in the pantry too. Free again."

"Well that's what I mean, I don't have to spend money to. treat you, aha ha ha!" Erika sneers cunningly.

"You're a stingy girl" Martin shook his head.

"Oh yes, I have something to give you. Wait a minute yeah, don't leave before I change my mind," Erika walked into her cabin and picked up a brown envelope.

"What's this?" ask Martin.

"That's what I want to owe you."

"Where did you get the money? not yet payday (payday)."

"That's the rembuse of visa and medical money. Everything 500$. I'll add 20$ as a thank you. I will pay the rest after payday. I go in first Martin," Erika goes into his cabin. He hasn't been out for 2 minutes.

"What else is it?" asked Martin who was still standing outside his cabin.

"I forgot that I was still working hours. I'll definitely get banana!" Erika ran over regardless of Martin. Banana here does not mean banana, but banana in the language of the ship means getting scolded/scolded.

Martin smiled at Erika's behavior. "Cute girl," he murmured. Just this time there was a girl who willingly returned the money she had borrowed, even exceeding 20$. Women he knew would usually ask for a treat, ask to buy branded goods and more, when knowing Martin a lot of money. Is it because Erika doesn't know who she is yet? If Erika knew she had a lot of money would Erika turn into a matre? Martin's curious.
