When Love Teases

58. Wife Candidate?!

Puput keukeuh with his stance. Has not dared to call 'Father', on the grounds that his tongue is still stiff. Actually he was embarrassed and impressed bucin considering the age of the new relationship counting days. The debate was automatically won by Puput. After a call from the host asking all staff and employees to gather at the designated place.

"You yeah.hard head turns out." Rama sounded disappointed. Because it is not easy to seduce Puput.

Puput chuckles. "Sorry, Brother. His tongue is still stiff. Hmm, I want to join first. Halal bihalal wants to start." Indirectly Puput wanted to end the long-distance conversation.

"Attent, Neng. I haven't confirmed my duties to you."

"Oh, what task?!" The back-up asked with a shrunken forehead in wonder.

"You must represent me in delivering a speech in halal bihalal. I got the text via email. Remember, you must represent. Can't be anything else. I've also confirmed the same Mr. Hendra."

"Call to Princess Kirana. Waiting soon because the show will start."

The concentration of the puput split in two. Between the shock of the impromptu task given the RPA owner, also the announcement of the event venue who called his name. He felt bad because he was the only one called. That means all the staff and employees are gathered.

"Sister, I've been called. Why impromptu gini construction. Try that from last night I can prepare. Represented by Mr Hendra?! I'm afraid I can't talk properly." The pupil feels tense. At the time of this injury time have not checked the contents of the email in question.

"Sir Hendra has his own duties. I'm sure you can. Just read it. Don't be nervous, Neng. He was called again." Rama can catch the re-announcement calling Puput. He ended the conversation with encouragement.

The pupil takes a deep breath, exhales slowly. The beginning of the work that had been cheerful turned tense due to the shock teraphy made by Rama. Try to neutralize the tension while opening a pdf file containing the welcome text.

"Snail. Kirain's still on the phone. This is even dumb." Via took the initiative to follow because he knew that his best friend was receiving a call from Rama.

"Gaswat, Via. Turns out he called for a task. I was told to represent him to give a welcome. This is the text I have not learned. Mules on the stomach." Puput looks anxious and feels his stomach that becomes heartburn due to tension.

"Oh task negata toh. That means you're considered the boss's mistress. Come on, don't panic. You used to go on stage. Read it directly later. No time to study." Via gave no chance to talk again. Pulling his best friend's arm. Now all eyes are on the presence of the two.

"New looks are even more perverse. You who the hell should be called the MC, the artist is not. Don't because there's an affair with Mr. Hendra, you're an important person's pretender." The arrival of Puput in the staff line, greeted Septi with a annoyed face. Others pretend not to hear the scorn of the supervisor yamg so far known always sensi on the puput.

"Bu Septi, sorry. Don't make rumors. The puput---" said Via hanging because his mouth was smothered by the hand of Puput. Highlight eyes wanted to protest because he did not accept Septi's defamatory remarks. Wanted to defend his best friend.

"Sorry, Miss Septi. I was wrong to be late. Yes, we're sorry." The puput asks Via not to lengthen, restraining emotions. Considering MC has already started the opening.

Mr. Hendra received a mic from the MC who was one of the employees at the cashier. His brief greeting was broadly a thank you for the loyalty of the RPA extended family. As well as an apology for still in the moment of Eid.

"Before entering the event of the pilgrimage, there was a speech from the owner of the RPA, namely Mr. Rama Adyatama. Which will be delivered by Princess Kirana Tea. Welcome to!" MC invited Puput to come forward.

Septi looks stunned. Via standing next to it can catch with its tail of eyes. Makes her smile cynically, inwardly cheering mockingly; "shocked right? surprised dong time. Thank God if later fired because it has spoken as good as udel."

“Robbis rohlii shodrii, wa yassirlii amrii, wahlul ‘uqdatam mil lisaani yafqohu qoulii.” Puput chalked the do'a in the heart as he stepped forward, standing side by side with Pak Hendra. No doubt the nervousness struck because there was no preparation in advance. I don't even know what the text is like yet. With a prayer the tension began to loosen. Dare to hold your head staring at colleagues who are neat and focused on him.

Nodding his head to Mr. Hendra before starting to speak as a sign of respect. Puput said basmallah and greetings.

"I stand here to convey the mandate of the RPA owner, Mr. Rama Adyatama. He who is planned to be present at the Ciamis branch, with a heavy heart must cancel because there are more important matters in Jakarta. Well, to shorten the time, I'll read a greeting from him." Luput gulps, pauses. Opening can do it well.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh." He started reading files from his phone. His greetings were answered to everyone. 20% are non-Muslim employees.

"Mukadimah follows the early welder. I, Rama Adyatama through cal---" Puput tried not to show his surprised look. How not to be surprised by the follow-up sentence that made both of his cheeks blush red. Swallowing spit with difficulty because almost kebablasan said according to the text. Can stir up the entire newsroom.

"I'm reworked." The head raised for a moment. "I, Rama Adyatama through Princess Kirana want to convey greetings, greetings Eid al-Fitr. Sorry to be born and inner to the manager, along with all staff and employees of the Ciamis branch of RPA. Let's continue to improve performance and work performance. The progress of the modern RPA building store will certainly have an impact on mutual well-being. The spirit of starting the workday. The spirit of being a solid and great team work. Remember, UNITY IS POWER. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

Applause from all the audience echoed after answering Puput's greeting. Feeling ignited by the motivation read by Puput in a firm intonation. Especially from Mr. Hendra who gave two thumbs accompanied by a knotty smile. Making the Septi clearly capture the scene, the more convinced there is a forbidden relationship between the manager and the accounting staff.

...***...

"Put, I want to talk to Mr. Hendra. It's good that the queen kanjeng recriminates you there is an affair. Let nyaho him, let's get reprimanded." Via said quietly as he walked side by side up the stairs towards the second floor. The halal bihalal event that was closed with a shake hands with each other had just disbanded. All towards their respective work positions.

"Biarin. Let him be ashamed of himself. Don't be dizzy already. There's more important than this. I'll be home from work leaking." Puput said no less slowly. Sampi arrived in front of his cubicle.

"That's right.kan. You can at most make me acute. Tell me now, Snail! If not, I will confirm your status. Yumoo!" Via lowered his eyebrows. Threatening to be able to pry at the topic right now.

"Please dare." The stomach responds relaxed. Put the bag in the closet of his desk. The phone on his desk rang.

Puput went into the room of the manager who called him just now. "What's up, sir?" Pulling up the chair so that it sits in line with Mr. Hendra.

Mr. Hendra smiled wryly. Fold both hands on the table. Vision senses framed glasses with minus lenses that add charisma. "First I want to say congratulations. Congratulations on the new look. Beautifull. Quickly doi sampe klepek-klepek." chuckled at the end of the speech.

"Doi who?! Don't make it up, sir." In the heart Tightened. Maybe Mr. Hendra already knows his relationship with Rama. If so, know from whom.

"Who loves diamond rings for sure."

Makes Mr. Hendra laugh. Once satisfied, put on a serious but relaxed face again. "Why did you read the text of Mr Rama's welcome that was cut?!"

Saput Puput widens eyes. "Kok know?! Ups--" Switching to shut up because of depression. It is the same as confirming the manager's words.

Mr. Hendra put on a smile accompanied by head bobbles. "Sir Rama also sent me the same email. And I was told by the mastiin that you read according to the text."

The stomach pinched to its stand. "Sir, don't tell me if--"

"Yes, boss. Mr. Rama called me when I left. Even nitipin lest there be guys who try deketin." Furthermore, Mr. Hendra laughed loosely watching Puput throw his body under the table while covering his face. That beautiful white-skinned face was clearly very blushing like a boiled crab.

"Sir, it's normal. Don't fuss. Not everyone in this office likes me." Request the Escape with a serious face before leaving the room.

"Who doesn't like you? Who?" Mr. Hendra knitted both eyebrows.

"There you are, sir. But justin. I am relaxing the man. Never entered into the heart."

...***...

"What's up?!" Septi immediately pointed at Yola and Tina, two salespeople who had rested.

"I heard the chatter of Puput and Novia on the terrace of the mushola. He said Mr. Hendra had been told Mr. Rama that----------." Behind the shelves that display various models of loters, Tina said slowly to give a report. Half whisper because this is a secret that can horrendous RPA universe. Both of his friends got a mandate from Septi to become spies.

"Whataa?? Don't shirk. Or your ears are wrong?" Both of Septi's eyes almost jumped. He was actually gathering evidence and witnesses to report to the central leadership. About his curiosity for a long time. Alleged affair between Pak Hendra and Puput. Of course to get sanction. If you need to be mutated, thankfully fired with disrespect for violating company rules.

"I heard it that way too. I swear." Yola raised both fingers with a serious mimic. Strengthening his friend's story.

Septi breathed a rough breath. Expel with a flick of the hand so that the two salespeople return to their respective posts. The two thick eyebrows from the pencil strokes were almost clashed. With the brain thinking hard.

The daughter of his girlfriend, Mr Rama?

Since when?

Not possible...

Spontaneous head shaking. Can't believe. But the reports of two of his spies said confidently. "Ck--" is increasingly upset because he continues to be defeated by the charms of Puput.

Bruck

"Oh, sorry ma'am sorry." Septi, who had walked back two steps, turned around, not knowing if anyone was behind him. He rubbed the shoulders of a woman he nudged who was wearing a mask. The look in his eyes implied anger, not acceptance.

"Once again I'm sorry, ma'am. Back down don't look around. I am a supervisor here. Maybe I can help? What are you looking for again?" Septi said politely with a friendly smile. Waiting for the answer of the shop visitor who was even glued staring at his name tag.

At 5pm it was time to leave the office. Puput told Via to stop by Ciamis square. Looking for a seat near the great mosque, under a shady tree. Two thai tea drinks purchased from traders on the sidewalk of the square, become a complement to the relaxing hangout of the two.

"So you want to discuss what same does not want to be mentioned pas ishoma." The soul of Kepo Via was already very thrashed.

The puput did not answer. Get the cell phone out of his bag. Leave it to Via.

"Read the welcome text of the real Karam." Puput sips casually his drink. Ignoring Via's shriveled forehead confused. "Bacaine with volume level 2!"

Like a buffalo whipped his nose, Via according to. Staring at the phone screen, touching the pdf file.

"Assalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi. I, Rama Adyatama. Through the prospective wife named Princess Kirana wants to convey greetings, greetings Eid al-Fitr. Sorry to be born and inner to the manager, along with all staff and employees of the Ciamis branch of RPA. Let's continue to improve performance and work performance. The progress of the modern RPA building store will certainly have an impact on mutual well-being. The spirit of starting the workday. The spirit of being a solid and great team work. Remember, UNITY IS POWER. Wassalamu'alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh."

"Aw-aw-awwww Snails. Hadeuhhh adek melted bang." Via yelling, jumping and then sitting on a stretch of paving block.

"Why did I melt. Aduhhhh Snail.Knee I lemes. Oh, haaahh." Via is still euphoric on its own. Fanning your hands to a sweaty face. Stifling the Soup that laughs at him until it holds the stomach. Ignoring the gazes of those who looked strangely.

"Wait!" Via stand. Patting bo kong attached to dry foliage. Sit again on a concrete bench next to Puput. "Why was it censored?"

“Robbis rohlii shodrii, wa yassirlii amrii, wahlul ‘uqdatam mil lisaani yafqohu qoulii.”

It means: “Yes my Lord, stretch out for me my bosom, and ease for me my business, and remove the rigidity from my tongue, that they may understand my words.” (QS. Thaha verses 25-28).

It was the do'a of Prophet Moses As, as a plea for ease and eloquence of his speech so that Prophet Moses could come face to face with Pharaoh and speak fluently even very loudly. Do'a that we should practice.
