The Marrying Bet
Ozy



Ozy grumbled in front of his computer monitor. The Saturday he usually used to relax on the island of Kapok, he could no longer enjoy working in the Royal Group. Even if you have to enter the office for half a day, it still feels so heavy. Ozy sees Wati, his senior who has worked for many years seems always enthusiastic in working. Ozy works as a tax officer who takes care of all corporate taxes, previously held by Wati, because Wati is starting to be overwhelmed by the company's skyrocketing development. 


"Anyway, the tax payment is as small as possible" Wati imitated the words His Highness the Great Boss always uttered whenever Wati filed the tax payment.


Ozy laughs with Fika, a fellow tax staff who became Wati's assistant.


"Had Saturday been closed like any other company" Ozy said. "This company is a dollar-hunter once," said Ozy.


Ozy's eyes caught the figure of a model man who happened to pass in front of their workspace. The man wore large sunglasses that covered his face, wearing all-white clothes that stunned Ozy.


"Jeez, Mr. Roy's coming!" said Fika flabbergasted.


"That was Mr Roy?" ask Ozy.


"Yes, you have never met him, because he is so busy, he rarely goes to the office" said Fika.


"Ozy, Fika, immediately prepare the filing of the estimated tax payment for this period! Got to be signed today, he's in the office!" wati Command.


Ozy felt he had to step back slowly as soon as he saw the queue snaking in front of the big boss room. The queue was exactly like the queue to the obstetrician, crowded yet silent. Ozy must accompany Wati, so that in the future Ozy himself will face directly to Mr. Roy. All operational activities are held directly by Mr. Roy, whether it is operational activities in the field to financial problems.


Ozy saw the tense faces of the employees who were waiting in line, even he saw one of the financial staff who filed a payment seemed to make clear the holy verses that are believed to be able to drive out demons.


"Bak Yuni, why are you talking like that? Where do you want to cast out demons?" ask Ozy, laughing.


"Ozy, you have to read before you enter Mr. Roy's room!" sahut Mbak Yuni's.


Ozy frowned, why did he chant the holy verses just to face his fellow humans? Really, they're overreacting. 


"NO! I don't want to pay! That's none of my business!" there was a scream that shook the souls of the employees from inside the room Mr. Roy.


"I don't care what the reason is! It's their fault! They must be responsible! That's their negligence! Cut your salary or cut your bonus! I don't want to hear about this anymore!" sounds blur Mr. Roy who echoed to fill the building.


There was a middle-aged man coming out of Mr. Roy's room in a hurry. All the employees looked towards him with concern. 


"Satria sir didn't read, did he enter?" ask Ms. Yuni.


"Already! But still, cetar!" sahut Pak Satria's.


"Wrong verse read by this Father" said Wati.


Mr. Satria just shook his head, then said goodbye to leave the queue. Some employees left the queue. They know that facing their leader when they are angry only adds to the problem. Ozy is shaking, he is really not used to the culture in this company.


"Alright, I go first yes, friends," Mbak Yuni immediately entered their boss's office.


"No! I don't want to pay! What the fuck am I forced to pay because it's due! Where have you been yesterday, Ms Yu?!" the next scream that again makes all employees pounding but not a sign of falling in love.


Ozy shakes, apparently the news that the company's leadership is very fierce not just a figment of the thumb. Ozy felt his stomach startle at once, he was hit by a panic attack that made him forced to retreat slowly.


"Ozy, Ozy, it'll be our turn soon!" said Wati.


"Mbak Wati, I go to the toilet first!" Ozy ran immediately.


Ozy immediately headed to the toilet, he sat on the toilet seat while calming down. Instantly his guts shrunk, especially he was a very sensitive person. Being yelled at like that, being heard by many people, would definitely make her mentally fall. Ozy feels a little regretful his decision to resign from the previous company because tempted by the large salary offered by the Royal Group. Twice the salary earned by Ozy, not to mention the bonus every semester which amounted to twice the salary, and the year-end bonus which reached four times the salary. 


Ozy hears Wati who is also hit by a rampage from their boss. It was crazy, the man's shout penetrated into the toilet which was quite far from the man's study.
