Eqlima
The new boy who has been around for a long time

...1 Week later...

Eqlima also with a file and his body was prepared to visit the house of Rita Azhari, in order to get a contract in Formula E, Eqlima was actually not too trusting at the beginning, but he can only surrender to the Lord YME (Allah SWT if make Eqlima) if Rita deceives or not.

Arriving at the location of the house given, he also knocked on the door of the house and gave Salam, he went there with a car that was given by Alara yesterday.

"Oh you were yesterday, come in here!" Rita said with a gesture waving as she opened her door and answered the greeting.

Shortly afterwards, she was invited to sit on the sofa beside Rita, while her Husband, Fadil Eri, sat on the soft seat of the other with a lot of scar bandages a week ago.

"So you're serious about being in Formula E? If so, sign this letter without further ado" said Fadil while giving his contract signature at BWT Nissan.

But instead of a signature, Eqlima actually said something while chuckling "Well, sign it? I don't think I should have brought my CV"

Hearing that, Fadil immediately responded with a "Oh, is that it? Well if so forgive me, by the way, where is your CV and portfolio? Maybe I'll recruit the wrong person if your experience isn't much"

After being given, Fadil was surprised if his statement was wrong, because Eqlima has received Formula 4 South Asia 2020, Formula 3 2021 to 2022, and Formula 2 2023, respectively, FML Series in 2024.

"FML Series your last race? Not bad, but the competition is actually a bit bad" said Fadil after seeing his portfolio and CV.

After checking everything, Fadil immediately gave back the contract approval letter after previously being detained by him.

Not much to buy time, he also confidently signed the contract and immediately shook hands with Fadil while saying "I am ready to accept any risk in order to restore my lost career!"

Fadil responded by saying "Well, I don't even find a woman with a thirst for her struggle after sabbatical."

The signing ended with a picture taken together for documentation and after that he agreed with the two of them to go home.

At the Apartment, he was excited not to play after getting a job back, and preparing to leave for Monaco as a reserve driver and test drive next week.

...****************...

...A few days later...

After Eqlima, Rita, Fadil and 2 children arrived at Soekarno-Hatta Airport, they also checked baggage before departure, they can only take a plane to France at half-hour 2 pm local time because Fadil will perform Friday Prayers first.

After being on the plane for a long time, they finally transited first at Indira Gandhi Airport, India.

"Hey, are we going down?" Said Eqlima while taking a swing to get off the plane that had taken off at the airport.

But when he wanted to go down, Eqlima was actually detained to sit again by Rita while saying "Sit first! We're bellowing!"

After waiting for the plane to delay the transit for a long time, they finally returned to the plane, and the plane flew again to Paris.

Arriving there, they immediately checked in and took their rather heavy luggage, plus they were a bit sleepy because they were only until 4 am.

Because of that, Rita finally booked a hotel next to the airport to rest until 10 am, thank goodness Eqlima only became a reserve driver, so she could rest first.

"Jet lag, sleepy, and quail, all so one" said Eqlima when he arrived at the hotel where he stayed while yawning.

"Tomorrow we fly again...." Say Eqlima to yourself while dropping into her bed and sleeping.

Just spend an hour, they have reached the airport located in Nice.

Afterwards, they book a Taxi at the airport, but for now Fadil and Rita are separated for a while, Rita and her two children get off at the hotel she had booked, fadil and Eqlima to Monaco.

Once there, Eqlima checked in and entered the Nissan BWT Paddock with Fadil.

"Well this is where you work now, hopefully you can blend in with them." Say Fadil while meeting other people to chat with others.

Meanwhile, Eqlima even roamed around looking around his Team paddock, until at one moment, he met the crew of the team.

"Hey boy, are you a spectator? Why did you break through here?" The crew spoke in English.

"I? Oh I'm not a spectator, I reserve their driver, BWT Nissan" Eqlima said with a slight smile and a gesture

"Oh, forgive us, but why don't you wear your overalls? Are you new here?"

"Yes right, just yesterday".

Then suddenly Fadil came after Eqlima responded to the crew's question

" I'm sorry, we have not given him the overall for the race, because we just recruited him yesterday" said Fadil.

"Oh, then, come with me son." Said the Nissan BWT crew to take him to a special room in their paddock.

"Well, here's the shirt? Cool!" Said Eqlima after getting and wearing the shirt.

"Yes, are you ready to work here?" Said Fadil while inviting him to Tos.

"Sure!" Say Eqlima aloud while responding to his Tos.

"Good then, I hope you can replace Daphne if she's still making the same mistake." Say the BWT crew while patting and stroking Eqlima's shoulder

"Lho, what's wrong with Daphne?" Fadil responds with his English.

"He was a bit bad the last couple of series, he seemed to be less suited to being on our team" the crew replied clearly.

Soon Fadil was alone with Eqlima because he was a bit worried about his wife, and Eqlima continued by sitting beside Team Principal ahead of the start of his Monaco E-Prix series race.

Eqlima also seemed to enjoy the race, although his sleep was a bit less, but he was rather enthusiastic in every moment that occurred beside the Team Principal team.

After the finish, when all wrapped around the pitlane to celebrate the podium, Eqlima did not want to miss, he immediately recorded the moment his team-mates entered the podium one.

But the unpleasant thing happened in Paddock, when he wanted to shake hands with his future partner, Emina Besima, he turned away and said "Sorry, sorry, I don't have time to shake hands with a rookie!"

Then, Eqlima muttered in his heart while pretending to scratch his head "This is what is it? Even the same Rookie even kekada his respect"

Daphne approached Eqlima, saying "Have you guys, he's still too aggressive with people who don't fit his criteria, I'm actually the type he means"

Hearing that, Eqlima immediately complained this to his Team Principal.
