The Thorn in the Family

Surprising letter

Let alone savings, a salary for one month is enough to cover the needs alone is amazingly grateful. The savings are only one, the savings that I specifically intended for the preparation of the Ipul tuition fees later.

Currently the entire savings drained out for hospital costs Mbah some time ago.

That night I woke up unable to close my eyes until two in the morning. All my work was done by twelve o'clock at night.

My mind and energy are too tired to wander everywhere thinking about conditions that never improve in addition to additional expenses for medical and nursing care costs.

Since my illness I have taken more jobs to earn extra income, in addition to overtime at the office which requires me to go home at seven in the evening I also took some freelance to create product design services from several printing houses. Of course this makes me stay up late and so tired.

Although tired and tired I think but my eyes never to shut, maybe because the heart is not calm.

I just felt drowsiness when after the dawn of dawn reverberate, I closed my eyes briefly intending to rest for a while before leaving for work again.

***

I woke up when the time had shown at 11.20 WIB I really felt tired in my mind and energy so I did not realize sleep for a long time. That means I'm late to work without giving certainty to the office people. I seem to just disappear.

I woke up trying to open my eyes to recollect my memories.

I took my phone and was surprised. I saw 102 missed calls .

“Gosh what happened”.

Why am I able to fall asleep all this time when I only intend to rest for a moment.

The call consisted of Rendra, Susan, my mother and some of my bosses in the office. Not to mention the short message that came in, I was more surprised to make him there were 204 new messages.

I massaged a little of my temples that started to look dizzy.

“Should be from where I read this message”.

I immediately opened a chat that contained hundreds of these.

The message from Susan I read first.

20 Tar where are you? Briefing is about to start.

07.30 Tar are you late? The new leader has arrived . Buruan come do not be late mumpung his people have not entered the meeting room.

08.15 Your crazy tar yes, this is the same meeting your supreme leader did not enter without the news first, be careful you. The new head of our office is a bad man once his behavior nauzubillah, almost all divisions get angry by him. But the guy's handsome and young I want to be his wife.

08.30 Tar you really do make people worry so where are you? Why not give news at all.

11.00 Tar danger there is regeneration of employees, employees who have

poor performance and working less than five years of work period calculated per day will be stopped and replaced new. Susan was the only person who cared about me at work knowing we were from the same area.

And there are many other chats.

07.10 Tar you're up, son?

07.23 Tar Mbah today control do not forget to send money for the transpot and the cost of his doctor.

09.45 Tar your sister Ipul next month there is a studytour event to Yogyakarta, new mother can circulate for her payment.

10.15 Oh yes Tar one more tax on the mother's bike next week out of time change plate boy.

I want to escape from all this. Running away from my work and my family's finances. I think I just wanted to disappear.

God just drown me.

The next day I left for the office earlier than usual, it felt like I wanted to make amends yesterday who suddenly did not enter.

“Good morning”. My greeting to all the people in the same room as me.

Quiescent.

No answer from them.

I'm surprised, what happened? Have I made a huge mistake?

“Tar here used to have something I told you”. Susan took my hand and led me to her seat.

“Tar has a message from Mr. Darmanto for you”.

“This what?”. I asked in wonder.

“I don't know, just try to open it first”.

With a feeling of anxiety I ventured to open a long white envelope containing one sheet of paper.

Degs..

Dear Bethari Ambarwati

It is with great regret that I convey that the results of the work evaluation input for two years, namely the period of three December 2010 to four December 2012 and reports directly from superiors that work time and work quality and your work attitude has not met the criteria as expected as a research market. So starting Tuesday December 4, 2012 is the last day to enter work. Thank you for your contribution and cooperation so far. Hopefully you can get a job elsewhere that suits your knowledge and skills .

Handover of documents and unfinished work please arrange handover. Thanks.

“What is this San? Why did I get a job termination letter suddenly like this”. I asked susan with a pale face.

“Tar is not just you, there are several employees who have the same fate as you, I said yesterday there was a meeting with the new leadership, he wanted a regeneration of labor in this office”.

“But why should I be stopped like this? I never even made a mistake just yesterday I didn't go in without telling”.

“That's Tar the fatal mistake you've made, you didn't log in at the wrong time. Should have been yesterday you try to enter despite the pain, you just sit in the chair just let me help your work affairs, unfortunately you do not enter I can not do defense of you”.

“Almost all parts got angry from the new leader, he is perfect once, do not accept the slightest error”.

Tears dripping like that just wet my cheeks.

What would happen if I didn't work, my family's needs were endless.

“Tar be patient, I'm sure you will definitely get a better job than here. You have high intelligence and skills that are qualified”.

Susan stroked my shoulders and tried to strengthen, while I just kept quiet.

The bright morning suddenly became so dark.

God, how could this happen to me?

With a step I went to the HRD room to ask about the letter I received.

What a response I really don't want.
