The Winter Promise

Chapter 118: Silent And Blending.

Right now, I have reached the office together with Riki and we are in the elevator heading to the seventh floor.

Today was a very nice day, I didn't expect that for a whole day. The whole teacher gave us a free class, not even one of them discussed the task at all.

At first I still did not believe Mr. Febri's words because I thought that he was just making up the free class problem on the first day. But during the break, when we were gathering, it turned out that all my friends also got free classes from their teachers.

I became curious and wanted to talk occasionally with the headmaster.

“Where is Maul Mar? Tumben he's not coming with us.”

Riki asked me.

“Today he did not come to the office, he said there is an affair he wants to finish.”

“What solution is.”

“I also don't know.”

“What is the matter still has to do with yesterday's case?”

“Maybe.”

I think that too. Because it is rare to see this busy Maul, even though he has not taken side work anymore because he has worked here.

Did he find anything interesting that he wanted to focus on there first?

“Why didn't Maul invite the two of us to help her?”

“Maybe his business doesn't need crowds and he wants to focus on his business.”

Too many hands will also make something that was once simple will be very troublesome. Better, we sit sweet and wait for the results obtained by Maul.

“Where are you after this Mar?”

“I want to go to Pak Hari's room first. Besides, I am also confused about where to go.”

Because there's no problem in the editor's division right now, so I don't have to go there. I also need to tell Mr. Hari that today my friend is coming.

“You're alone Rik?”

“If I want to go to my division, because my senior wants to give me another task.”

“Alright, then I will wait on the roof if your business is done.”

“Ok.”

When we got to the seventh floor, we immediately split up because the place we were heading to was in a different direction.

I went straight to Mr. Hari's room.

“Excuse me!”

I went in and opened the door to Mr. Hari's room.

Inside, I could see Mr. Hari and Mr. Friska talking about something.

“Do I bother you?”

I asked them both.

“No, we are not talking about something important.”

Said Mr. Hari with a smile on his face.

I went into his room and sat down on the sofa there. Mr. Hari also moved to sit on the sofa facing me directly.

“Why did you come Mar today? Not that today there is no meeting at all.”

Mr. Hari asked me.

“Today my friend who I said yesterday wanted to intern in the social media section today and she wanted to come to the office to meet you. So I had to come here to accompany her.”

“Friska, please make us both coffee.”

Mr. Hari immediately told Friska.

“I sweet tea aja Kak.”

I still don't want to consume coffee first for now.

Friska immediately went to prepare a drink for the two of us.

“How was your holiday Mar?”

“My holiday this time is heavy?”

“Weight why?”

Mr. Hari became curious about it.

“There are so many things I have to do on vacation yesterday.”

One case of Akbar was already sufficiently represented by the word many here.

“Do you know Febri is engaged?”

It turns out Mr. Hari already knew it too.

“I already knew earlier in school because there was a teacher who leaked it to all of us.”

Hearing that made Mr. Hari laugh a little because of it. Surely what was on his mind at this time was the face of Mr. Febri who was overwhelmed by the students who questioned him about the matter.

“What Mr Hari knows his future wife?”

“Indeed you never met him Mar?”

Mr. Hari asked me back.

“Pak Febri never showed or told me about his girlfriend.”

“Febri never dating, she direct taaruf”

Heee... I did not expect that Mr. Febri was the type of person who did taaruf. Then why does he often advise me to have a girlfriend or get a boyfriend?

How strange.

“Although Febri often advises you about dating, but actually the mindset of him and you is very similar when it comes to dating.”

“That's true!?”

“But not as bad as you too.”

Though I've been happy because there is a friend one thought about the name of love.

Then enter Friska with a tray on which there are two drinks for me and also Mr. Febri.

“This is the drink Sir!”

Friska put her drink on the table in front of us.

“You're not here with Maul Mar?”

That is what Friska first asked. He should have known the answer, because if Maul came here he would have been at Friska's desk.

“No Brother, he said he has business he has to do now.”

“Oh so... Is there anything else you need sir?”

Friska asked Mr. Hari.

“Nothing, thank you yes.”

“Then I excuse you first.”

Friska left us both in the room. There seems to be a job he is doing right now.

At that moment I realized that Mr. Hari was watching me.

“What's up Sir?”

“Do you like Friska?”

This guy, he must have thought that I also liked Friska like most of the employees here.

“Why are you asking that? It's obvious I can't possibly like it.”

“True yes too.. Hahahaha.”.

Mr. Hari also drank the coffee he ordered earlier.

“What about the comics that have been recorded? Are they all sold in the market?”

Mr. Hari smiled and folded his hands.

“Komiknya sell hard Mar, there are even some requests to market the comics to outside the island of Java.”

“Then for its own application? Has there been an increase since we sold those comics in bookstores?”

“The number of accusers has reached one million downloaders.”

A million!? Though just yesterday we celebrated five hundred thousand downloaders and now it is one million. Actually how many people download this application in one day.

“A lot of the amount.”

“Yah's... It's all thanks to your hard work.”

Then my salary should also go up if the number of downloads is already that much.

“Do you already have plans for the future Sir?”

“Maybe I will open the application into various languages.”

“Indeed earlier this application can not be downloaded in a country other than Indonesia?”

“Not yet, because we have not found a translator to translate his language into various languages.”

I'm kissing it looks like we'll be holding another new employee opening for the interpreter section soon. But how many translators we will hire, considering our comics in the application are many and of course we need a lot of people for that too.

“Are we going to open another vacancy for translators?”

“Iya, but this is still a consideration.”

In addition to employees, we must also provide a place for the translator section. Because on the seventh floor there is no more room to add one more section. But if it's not wrong we still have two empty floors up here.

“Means we will use other floor huh?”

One floor?

“One floor? It's not that there should still be two.”

“Indeed, there are still two floors left, but because we have started printing books, so I use one floor for printing tools and publishing parts. But there is still a lot of space anyway, later we will see if the translation division can be placed there whether to use the remaining one floor again.”

“So... I deserve to feel that the office is more crowded at this time.”

Then I got a message from Akbar saying that he had arrived in front of the office.

“Pak, my friend has arrived at the office and I want to pick him up for a while.”

“Alright then.”

With lightning fast, I immediately went out of the office to meet with Akbar. I can also see AKbar who is waiting in the park in front of the office.

“Have you been waiting for me?”

“I just got to.”

“Then, let's go in. My boss is waiting for you.”

Before going to Mr. Hari's place, I had to go to the reception desk to pick up an identification for Akbar so that he could walk around the office freely.

“I didn't expect you to work in an office this big.”

Akbar looked through the enormous lobby.

I just smiled when I heard that.

“Eh No Amar!”

Greet a woman at the reception desk.

“Sore Mba Eva.”

Her name is Mba Eva, she is the receptionist of the Comic Universe. I know him very well because we met on the roof a lot when I was relaxing.

And also Mba Eva is the second most beautiful woman after Friska. Usually, the employees who gave up on pursuing Friska, will directly approach Mba Eva. But lately many employees are heartbroken to know that Mba Eva already has a boyfriend.

“There can I help Mar?”

“I need an identifier for a new intern Mba.”

“What is your friend Mar?”

Mba Eva looked towards Akbar who was behind me.

“Iya Mba.”

Then Mba Eva gave me her identification.

“Thanks Mba.”

“Sama-sama.”

“Nih Bar.”

I directly gave the identification to Akbar for him to use.

“Let's go straight to my boss's room.”

I took Akbar there.

“Either why I became nervous wanting to meet him Mar.”

“Have calmed down, the person looks like Mr. Febri kok.”

Yes, because he is indeed a close friend of Mr. Febri so his nature is a little similar.

We took the elevator and went to the seventh floor.

“Mba-mba receptionist is very friendly Mar.”

It seems friendly it is one of the traits that must be owned by the receptionist. I wonder what if there is a receptionist who has a cynical nature. Hmmmm... Interesting too.

“Employees here are indeed friendly Bar, so you don't have to worry.”

Actually another reason why Mba Eva was friendly to me was because she knew that I was one of the superiors here. Before, I told all the employees here not to call me father because it made me uncomfortable and they accepted it with pleasure.

I think they are also a little awkward to call people who are much younger than they are called fathers, but I am grateful for that.

“What is this office also used by other companies Mar?”

“Yes, there are companies that provide internet services that also rent this building from the second to sixth floor. While Comic Universe only uses the seventh to tenth floors.”

Finally we arrived at Mr. Febri's room.

“Pak, I introduce you. He's Akbar, my friend who I told you yesterday.”

“Salam knows Sir, my name is Akbar.”

Akbar introduced himself.

Although he had previously said that he was a little nervous, but he was much calmer than Riki at that time. Is it because he has already worked and used to serve customers so he can calm down like that?

“Welcome Nak Akbar in Comic Universe! Please sit.”

Mr. Hari shook Akbar's hand in a friendly manner.

Akbar and Hari sat on the sofa and they talked for a while, while I had to go to Kak Malik's room to pick up the files for Akbar's contents.

“Sister Malik, I request a contract for a new intern.”

My love to Malik who is focused on his work.

“Oh, your friend from yesterday you said it came.”

Malik gave me the contract.

“Already, now he is in his room Mr. Hari.”

“Oh so.”

“Thank you, Brother Malik, I want to go back to his room Mr. Hari first.”

“Sama-sama Mar.”

I went back to Mr. Hari's room and the two of them were still talking.

“Bar, you please fill these files first.”

I gave the files to Akbar.

“Good.”

Akbar started to fill out the files I gave him.

“Later after filling out the file, you directly deliver him to the social media division only Mar, so that he can directly work.”

Mr. Hari told me to.

“Good, I'll do.”

“Nak Akbar, do you have a laptop or computer at home that can be used to work?”

Mr. Hari asked Akbar.

“I don't have it Sir.”

“Then, later the company will give you a laptop so you can do your work at home. Maybe the laptop is only available two to three days ahead.”

Mr. Hari looked at the calendar that was there.

“Is that true Sir!?”

Akbar could not believe it as well as was shocked when he heard that.

“Yes, almost all interns who can not do their work in the office will get a laptop as long as he works here.and they can have the laptop if the internship has been completed for free.”

“Free!?”

Now I'm the one who's surprised when I listen to the word free.

I do know that this company has earned quite a lot of income from the sale of comics and also the number of downloaders in the application, but not immediately squandered it like that too Sir.

“Iya, it's a gift because they already work at Comic Universe, just think of it as a gift from the company.”

Mr. Hari is too good, it's appropriate that in the company before there was a colleague who stabbed him in the back.

“I just found out that there is such a policy.”

“I did that to improve the performance of interns. Because what I need here is skill, I don't see whether it's you regulars or interns.”

Heee...

After Akbar filled out the file, I went directly to the social media section to deliver it. When I got there, I met Riki and a few other employees who were talking.

“You've come Bar!”

Riki was surprised to see Akbar coming with me.

“Iya, I just arrived earlier.”

“Then what are you doing here Mar?”

“I want to take Akbar to this division because from now on he works in the social media division together with you. Guide him Rik!”

“Send it to me!”

Riki gave me a thumb sign.

“You also feel free to ask the seniors who are here Bar!”

I gave advice to Akbar.

“Good.”

Akbar was immediately well received in that section. They immediately mixed up and also talked. Sometimes they laugh together about their work.

At least my job here is done and now I'd better go to the roof to enjoy a cup of gangan drink there. It's late in the afternoon too, I hope I get a good afternoon view on the roof.
