Time passed quickly as if trying to leave something behind and was also in a race to chase something ahead. I don't feel like now the novel I ever dreamed of a great success after I remodeled it with my best friend into a tragedy novel. Now is the perfect time to enjoy the success of the best-selling novels on the market.
But it's only useful for my best friend, not me who still has to struggle half-dead with the schedule of superiors that are getting crazy. It has been a year I worked as a secretary to Mr. Aldi, but in fact I am still not used to his busy life of asking for forgiveness.
"Copy first!"
"Eh, thanks senior!" I took Azka's coffee cup and released the eyestrain that had been staring at the computer screen since noon
"Good! As I expected, you can definitely surpass my ability..." Azka checked the report that was almost finished in the stacking
"Ahaha, not even a penny..."
"Hcz... How many times have I told you, call my brother, tickle me if you call senior!"
"Eh, sorry sen... Sorry, you're used to it"
"Next time don't call me wrong again... Yes, if you're done you can go home first..." Said Azka looking at the clock that was coiled around her wrist
"Good se... Sis!"
Azka fiddled with her finger to commemorate me who almost mispronounced the call while stepping towards her workplace. The clock on my phone screen has shown at 9 pm passing, where if ordinary employees go home always at 7 pm. For me this is not overtime but it is my return time which is rather unique from most ordinary employees.
Since one month working as a secretary I tried to adjust my schedule to the schedule of superiors. Until finally I remained unfamiliar with the schedules of the superiors who really did not have a schedule of rest. The books in my room were full of romance novels, now the bookshelves in the room are only full of books related to the secretary and the books of an exemplary employee.
And already a few weeks Mr. Aldi like a lack of rest, because in addition to being preoccupied by office work he also had to take care of the engagement event set by his family. Mr. Aldi's eye bags lately are not much different from my eye bags and Azka. Suddenly my phone vibrated revealing a familiar name on the screen.
"Hello"
"When are you home?"
"A little while!"
"Not needed to be picked up?"
"No, you go to bed first, don't stay up!"
"okay!"
"By..." My call ended and continued to work on the report in plain sight.
"Yes, you go home first, I'll finish..."
"No, little more done!"
"Well, come home, your sister's waiting"
"It's okay, brother, he's big too... It's just gonna be over!"
"You're tired of not being forced!"
"Yes, ready!"
Phone calls like this have become a ritual every night for me. Adam who somehow after living with me all this time, felt more attentive than the old Adam while we were still gathered in the old man's house. Now my family life is better and better than it was. Salary as a secretary is quite large in addition to bonuses from the boss every month, the more sufficient the needs of my family.
Not long ago my work really has been completed for today along with the completion of Azka's work which has also been busy with the computer in front of her. Last afternoon the boss went out to be accompanied by Azka to meet with clients from outside, so that my work today could be completed sooner than usual.
I saw the boss staring at the aquarium attached to the wall of his room. I don't know what he was thinking to look so excited, and reportedly for the meeting last afternoon there was also a little chaos due to the boss who was suddenly not in the mood.
"Udah!"
"You want to go home?" hail Azka as usual
"Nl..."
"Don't refuse."
"Judah, I'm sorry if you take care of me brother!" I immediately got up from the chair after I finished cleaning the table
Suddenly as we both chatted lightly waiting for the elevator door to open, I felt like someone was watching us. And sure enough when I looked back, there was a boss who stood firmly waiting for the elevator door to open.
"Eh, can I help you sir?" my question is to make Azka turn around
"... Nothing" he said after a moment of silence
I just smiled and nodded, letting him into the elevator first. But it turns out he even told me to go first to the elevator, to make me a little confused, because it is not usually this boss.
"Ekhm... You guys want to go home, right?" the boss said breaking the silence in the elevator
"Yes sir!" sahutku and Azka together
After a short question and answer the atmosphere returned to silence waiting for the elevator to arrive at the company lobby. I saw from the boss, like he wanted to say something but he seemed to be weighing it to say or not. Until finally the elevator door opened and the three of us came out of the elevator still in a state of silence.
The atmosphere of the office lobby is really quiet, even some of the lights have also been turned off. The boss still continued to slowly step towards the exit with us following him from behind. I wanted to melt the atmosphere, but it felt a little impolite if I started talking first, but if it wasn't me who else. Because the two men who are walking with me at this time, never talk pleasantries except when discussing work.
"Sorry sir! If you don't mind coming with us to eat out?" I finally stepped out of the company building
The two looked at me with shocked eyes but then immediately set each other's expressions back to what they were like "Ahaha... I feel hungry again... But if you're the same Senior object to me..."
"I don't mind!" Cut Azka
"Ba, how's the sir? You want to come?"
"It doesn't seem like there's any harm in me coming!" Said the boss sir after seeing the clock on his wrist
"Ka, then I'll pay... Because we're going to eat where I normally eat. Hehe!"
One fatal mistake that I forgot, I forgot that I was currently taking a CEO to eat at my subscription roadside stall. As for Azka, it is not so much a problem because I once invited him to eat there overtime. But different again with this one big guest, it seems I have completely forgotten the social status if it is about stomach affairs.
When Azka's car stopped in front of my subscription warteg, my boss was frowning like looking for a place to eat that we would come. And in that second I realized that there is currently a big guest that I have invited to eat at the warteg that is open at night.
"Anu, that's sir... My subscription's place to eat is that. but if you feel uncomfortable..."
"I don't have a problem!" Her voice was firm as I said guilt for inviting her to join
"La, next time I'll take you and your seniors to a place to eat more worthy of this..."
"At this place is enough!" Azka said with a sincere smile
"Yes!"
The three of us immediately got out of the car and stepped inside the tent stall. Again without caring about the others I chose the corner of my favorite place, which Azka and the boss also sat at the same table with me.
"Basic silly!" my whistle to myself
