The Stunning My Life

Job Threats

"How's Sophia, anyway?"

"It's all wrong, and the files will be sent to the center tomorrow. Mr. Rian could be angry at me like this."

Mr. Bayu, the head of the secretariat at the office where I work. Today I received criticism from him. This is the first time I've made a fatal mistake.

"But, Sir. Yesterday I checked, and it's in accordance with the example of the letter." I defended myself.

"As you go? This is trying to check Sophia's own check. All the files are wrong, no one really at all," denied Pak Bayu while turning his laptop facing me.

I was confused myself too. I'm sure yesterday the files were properly worked out. I was tasked yesterday to make a letter of service. There are about ten pages I have typed correctly according to the example. But why did all the files change and not like yesterday?

Mr. Bayu sniffed. "Now this way. Ms. Sophia, please immediately revise this file as soon as possible, and after that immediately submit it to me. And I'm asking for a file on the employee's work trip this week."

"Good, sir." I said, then excuse yourself to leave the room.

I can't keep insisting that the file is correct. Because the fact is, the file is indeed wrong as if someone has changed it. Mr. Bayu looks very angry at me. He must also be afraid to spray Mr. Rian, the head of the agency.

I'll be right back at my desk. I searched the file that Mr. Bayu requested on my computer. I started to get anxious because I never found the file.

I'm sure I put it in a folder I've been tagged, but why isn't it there? I keep clicking on all the folders on my computer, I have also typed in the search field, but the file is also undetectable.

I'm getting scared. Oh, my God, that file is gone. I also looked for it in the recycle bin, but the file didn't exist either.

I returned to Mr. Bayu's room with my fear.

"Excuse me, sir." I approached the brown man.

"Where's the file I asked for? You just send it to my email," tell Mr. Bayu to me.

"M-sorry, Sir. I've been looking for the file on my computer, but nothing" I said.

"What are you, anyway? That's an important file! You said there wasn't any where did you go???" Mr. Bayu started to squeak his voice.

I dare not look at that man. He's too creepy for me. "All the employee files I always keep on the computer, sir. I also don't know why the file doesn't exist." My answer.

Mr. Bayu crashing his desk jolted me. My heart started to grow scared. Today I was really stupid.

"Sana, go back to your desk and do the service letter," said Mr. Bayu looking frustrated at me.

I'm sure Mr. Bayu is very upset with me. Then what should I do? I'm just afraid that if I get fired from the office because of my job mistakes that I don't really know why everything could be this way.

I had breakfast. I was also initially passionate about the office. But after the clash of Mr. Bayu, I suddenly limp. Sweaty hands.

I finally reworked the wrong file. I started to get confused and confused. It felt like someone had sabotaged my work. But who?

This afternoon Raya and I had lunch together in the office cafeteria.

"Have you checked everything yesterday?" ask Raya to me.

"Yes, Mother. Everything is clear. And I also always keep the employee data in a special folder. Anyway everything, everything is on that computer. Mrs Ratih (the office staff who once occupied my position) has always been so, too," I told Raya.

Just pat my back for a second. "Patience, Sophia. The office work is easy. Mostly it is like gini. Next time you have to be careful if you do something."

I just kept quiet to hear Raya's advice. I don't have any taste for lunch. My head is dizzy thinking about today's work. And the next days, there will be more?

At about half past seven in the evening, I arrived at Rosa Cafe.

Adi sent me a message to meet at the cafe. At first I refused because I did not want to deal with him anymore. But after Adi told me if it was about work and important, I also let down my intentions and wanted to meet him.

I approached Adi who seemed to be waiting for me at table number ten. I immediately sat in the front seat of Adi without greeting him.

Adi looked at me, then smiled. "Night, Sophia. You want to order some food first?"

"No need to talk, Di. What are you really talking about?"

Adi laughed briefly. "Where are the jobs in the office today? Pleasant? Or make you dizzy?" his tanyanya confused me.

"What do you mean?"

Adi sighs. "I heard today you can spray from Mr. Bayu. How then?"

I was silent for a moment. "How come?" I'm still confused.

Adi threw her face slowly, then looked at me again. "Sophia, did you choose to leave the office by yourself, or did I have to intervene to get you expelled?"

Oh. I'm starting to understand. Looks like Adi was the mastermind behind the mess of my work today.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to be fired from the office?" I asked Adi.

Adi smiled at me. "Thank God you're quick to respond. So how? Do you choose to retreat by yourself or have to trouble me?"

I chuckle not believing that. "You seriously want me out of the office?"

"Yes. I'm sick of seeing you every day at the office" Adi told me.

"Why? I was wrong, are you?"

Adi laughing. He's really weird. One sec. Two seconds. He started walking out of his seat.

Adi pulled my right side seat closer to me. He sat there looking at me very close.

"Sophia, why do I still like you? But I also hate. I want you to stay away from me. So you have to resigh from the office," said Adi in a soft voice continuing to look at me fixedly.

"I won't leave the office. Why should I be tired of sacrificing my career just to follow the foolish orders of men like you?"

Adi's still listening to me.

"Aren't you tired of my continued slander? Instead of you taking care of my life, mengelingan you do things that are useful to you. You are old, Di! You have no intention of getting married?"

I smiled mockingly. "Maybe you need to correct your behavior so that there are women who want to marry you. It was much more useful than getting me fired from the office" I told Adi.

Adi stared at me sharply. Then, he grinned. "Okay, if you don't want to give up. I can torment you more than today. And that's what you want?"

I was a little surprised to hear that. Adi smiled as she lightly stroked my right cheek with her left index finger. I immediately rejected the man's hand.

"Sophia, why are you having such a hard time working in the office? Why don't you seduce a man like me? It must be a lot easier for you to get money."

Plaque! I slapped Adi's left cheek as hard as I could. I don't care if the people in the cafe look at us. I could only look at Adi with teary eyes.

Adi, how many times has that man demeaned me? I actually have a plan to forgive him if he apologizes to me. But what is this? He just added to his mistake.

I grabbed my bag at the table and hurried away from the place. I walked quickly to the parking lot approaching Fino.

"Sophia, wait!" Adi pulled my right hand preventing me from going from there.

"Please take my hand," I said trying to get rid of Adi's hand that was holding tightly to my wrist.

"I don't want to know. As soon as possible you have to resigh from the office." Adi looked at me still holding my hand.

"Why aren't you the resigh? If you just don't want to see me again at work, why don't you just leave the office?"

Adi further strengthened his grip from my hand. "Because the office needs me more than you." Answer me.

I'm still trying to get my hands off Adi's. One sec. Two seconds. Someone kicked Adi to make him fall to hit the motorbike parked there.

I was surprised, then turned to look at the figure who had just kicked Adi. There, stood Rama was staring at Adi who fell down.

Rama approached Adi, then pulled his collar. I moved quickly immediately to hold Rama's hand which was seen about to punch Adi.

"Rama, no!" I looked at Rama begging to stop him.

Rama looked at me, then turned back to Adi. He jerked Adi's collar, then stood with me. And Adi too, he went from there.

***

"No pa-pa?" ask Rama.

We were both sitting on concrete chairs near the cafe's parking lot.

I'm so worried. I'm worried about tomorrow at work. I'm afraid that Adi's planning something worse than the mess in the office.

"Sophia" call Rama to me.

"Hm?" I looked up to widen my eyes at him.

Rama clucking. "Lo why, anyway? Tanya even daydream."

Actually I'd love to tell someone about my problems at work. But Rama, it doesn't seem like he's the right person for me to treat.

I better shut up and keep everything to myself. Even if I talk to Juna, I'm not sure he has a good solution. He would definitely just be angry at Adi, and make things even more chaotic.

"Gue ain't pa-pa, really. By the way, thank you, you've let me." I tried to smile at Rama. "Gue go back first," I said.

I left Rama alone there. It's getting late, I need to get home soon. I don't want to kidnap Susan and Mini to worry about me. I actually also want to be alone to think about Adi's threat about my career.

***

In a room with a mini...

Mini seemed busy with her college books at the study table. Right now I'm very dizzy thinking about my messy office work, plus Adi who is like that. My career is really on the edge.

I'm not in the mood to type stories or do anything. I just lay in bed and chat with Juna on whatsapp.

Juna: Next week you can meet Mommy at the boutique?

Sophia: Could. What's wrong, Juna?

Juna: I don't know. Mother said in secret.

I smiled thinly.

Sophia: I miss your mother.

Juna: Just miss Mommy, huh? Me?

Sophia: Hm..., don't you know???

Juna: Okay, fine. Nambek it me.

I chuckled reading Juna's short message. Maybe my job is in a state of turmoil right now. But having Juna beside me, it felt a little light. Although, I don't want to tell him about my problem either.

Sophia: Don't sulk Juna, I'll be sad.

Juna: Okay, I promise not to let you not be sad. I miss you, Sophia.

Sophia: I miss you, Juna. [ ]
