Early in the morning Melani was tidy. This was the first day he entered work. He greeted her with joy. Even last night he could not sleep well because he thought of the new day he would live as an administrative staff in a bona fide corporate office. Finally, his hopes of getting a job had materialized. He was also grateful not to be unemployed for too long after graduating from D-3 accounting and finance. Although accepted in the marketing department, but Melani was happy. The name of the career must start from the bottom.
For Melani herself it was important that she got a job and lightened the burden of her widowed mother. Melani's desire to work immediately was based on the intention of helping her mother. Since his father left five years ago, his mother had to work hard to support her three children. His father's pension salary is not enough anymore to finance the education of the three children who have started to grow up. That's why Melani chose a shorter education to be able to work directly. He wanted to show his time to the old man. He also wanted to help finance the education of his younger siblings in order to get into college.
“Wah, early in the morning is tidy? What time is it, mBak?” said Nina saw her brother was neat.
“Ya, his name is also a new employee, must be disciplined dong, Nin,” said Melani kalem.
“Indeed, surely sent in at this hour? Is it six o'clock?”
“Mbak will have to ride angkot, Nin. How about it gets stuck on the road?”
“Yes, but the office isn't that far away. Clock like this the road has not jammed very.”
“Here you go, Nin, you're so good at mbak, anyway? Quickly shower there!”
Nina shrugged her shoulders. He immediately went to the bathroom. Melani moves to the front room, meeting her mother who is still sweeping the floor.
“I leave first, Mom,” Melani said as she kissed her mother's hand.
“You didn't have breakfast first?” ask Miss Marni.
“I've had a glass of milk. I'll say goodbye, Mom..”
“Yes, be careful on the road!”
Melani steps out of her family's small rented house. Miss Marni looked at the departure of her eldest daughter with a happy smile engraved on her lips. In his heart was said a prayer that his son always got salvation in work and was able to achieve the hope he aspired.
Setiba in Melani's office finds himself the only employee who first arrives. Even the cleaning service came a few minutes later. Mr. Bardi, as the name of the janitor, was surprised to see the presence of Melani. But after Melani explained that she was a new employee in this office, Mr. Bardi seemed a little embarrassed.
“Sorry yes, Non, I haven't had time to open the door. After, non alone comes to part.”
“It's okay, Sir. Come, I help open the door.”
Melani put her bag on the table that has been provided. Previously Melani had indeed gotten instructions about what tasks she would do and where her work desk during an interview event some time ago with a personnel manager. Because this was the first day he entered work and did not know what task he would be doing, so he was just dumbstruck like a statue.
He was waiting for another employee who had not arrived. Not long after the employees arrived. They went straight to their respective tables. Suddenly Melani is startled by the throw of a bag that falls on the table in front of her. Sontak Melani turned to look at the person who threw earlier. A tall woman with a cold and haughty look stood before him.
“Hey, this is my table! Don't sit here!” ketus.
Melani is confused. Fortunately there was a young girl at the end table hinting with her index finger telling Melani to come up to her. “Sini, Mbak!”
“E, sorry, I don't know..” Melani said to the ladies and then moved from her place as she approached the girl who called her earlier.
“I forgot to tell you that the table mbak is here, with me,” said the girl in a friendly tone.
“Include, I'm Melani,” said Melani reached out her hand to the girl.
“My name is Diah!” the girl returned Melani's handshake. “And who has a table next to it is called mbak Tuti. Do not take the heart of his attitude. He does like so new people,” he continued to explain about the woman whose place was occupied by Melani.
“Ah, nothing, Ma'am,” Melani said with a smile.
Melani then sat down next to Diah. He's very happy to have a coworker like Diah. It seems that Diah's age isn't very far with her. His kind and friendly attitude made Melani feel comfortable. It seems they will quickly become close friends.
“I have a mandate from Mr. Tejo to guide Melani during the training period here. For starters, Melani can do the task of inserting files into the computer. You can, right?” diah then told.
“Yes, I can. But please, don't call me madam. Just call me Mel or Melani. Like our age is not much different, maybe I am even younger than Mbak Diah,” Melani said in an airy tone.
“Then don't call me mbak. Let's be more familiar. Okay?”
Melani nodded with a small smile. The two then engaged in light talks. Without them realizing from that corner, Tuti looked at the spot full of jealousy. His lips looked pouted. It seemed that he did not really like seeing the familiarity between Melani and Diah.
Such is. The first day of work faced Melani with passion and cheer. Melani learned a lot from Diah who had experience working in the office. From Diah also Melani can get to know all the employees in the office. Melani makes new friends. They all seemed friendly and kind to her, except perhaps the one who showed a priori attitude. Tuti! Women who are classified as senior and bear the predicate of the old virgin are often cynical, ketus, and judes. Not just Melani, but everyone else. But it was not much influenced by his colleagues.
The work that Melani handled was quite easy, because all of that was often learned while in college. Typing data in a computer is not a difficult job. If the work is done usually Melani helps Diah compile marketing and bookkeeping reports. Melani's actions are not intended to take over Diah's duties or look for face and self-effacing, but because she is capable. Diah herself was delighted to be helped by Melani. The work he did became lighter.
