Asiyah had to rearrange her lecture schedule, otherwise she could work while continuing her studies. Could clash all his schedules later. So, everything has to be rearranged.
Asiyah submitted a class transfer to the campus. What he had been studying in the morning class, now moved to the evening lecture only. Reach a little, it's okay, have to be held back. It's all for Umi, Abi and the sisters at home.
Monday morning. Four days after the meeting with Mr. Tomi. Asiyah had to start working in her new office. The schedule of the lecture was also arranged, as well,
Thank God everything went so easily and smoothly.
So later home from work, Asiyah can go straight to college in the evening ba’da maghrib. Nervous? definitely. Worried? Yes also.
Asiyah tried to convince herself to be brave. Okay. The clothes are neat, the hijab looks perfect. Asiyah is ready to leave this morning.
Bismillahs..
This is the first day he works. Asiyah works as an administrative staff. There was another administrative staff that was also one room with Asiyah. Female. Maya name. The rest are men, different rooms with them. The other male staff is the field staff.
Asiyah's office is right next to Mr. Tomi's.
On the first day of his office, Asiyah received many lessons from the Maya. Maya was very good with Asiyah. Teach Asiyah patiently about what work He should do.
Mr. Tomi also paid attention to Asiyah. From the first day Asiyah worked until several months passed, Mr. Tomi often approached Asiyah to his room. Pay attention to him. He asked, has Asiyah prayed? Has Asiyah eaten? Things like this continue to be done by Tomi.
Perhaps this is part of the approach of a superior to his subordinates. In order to create a family atmosphere in the office, Asiyah thought. Asiyah was certainly very happy to be treated this way by her own superiors.
Although from his small heart, actually Asiyah was a little surprised, is this really the attention of a superior to his subordinates? This good? Asiyah did not know, because it was her work experience for the first time.
Maya said, Mr. Tomi is a good person. Mr. Tomi only needs employees who really want to work, not those who usually only demand a salary. Understandably, this company is a private company so it does not rule out the possibility by people who only make his company as a stepping stone before getting a better job.
Maya herself has worked for five years with Mr. Tomi. Everything is safe. His salary is paid each month. Mr. Tomi is also royal in giving bonuses to his employees every time the project is completed.
According to the employees here it is natural that this company can always complete the project perfectly, because there is no wrong party in this company, in every part of its work as well, so is it, they are honest in doing business with their partners.
Listen, Asiyah is replacing the old woman. The old woman did not work anymore, her husband forbade her to work after giving birth to their first child.
Maa shaa Allah..
Thank God this is so fitting. The time is right when Asiyah needs a job. It is truly the sustenance of Allah to save Asiyah, yes, to reduce the financial burden of her family which is currently at its lowest point.
"Maya, Asiyah, this afternoon we have lunch outside yes,” Mr. Tomi smiled kindly at them. Go into their room just to say that.
“Iya Sir,” replied Asiyah and Maya.
It is common for them to eat together outside or inside the office, with other office staff.
Biasalah, activities like this are routinely done in order to establish a sense of togetherness that is thicker between office employees and also superiors of course.
This afternoon seemed different from before, Mr. Tomi took Asiyah and Maya one car with him. Only three. Obviously they can't refuse. Moreover, Mr. Tomi is a good person, there can be no evil intentions with them.
They've also gone three, right? Asiyah and Maya. Bernudzon.
Although they usually go to ride the company car, there is a driver, special car employees are different, so do not mix and stick with the men in it.
After all, Asiyah is a devout Muslim in religion, where maybe Asiyah is comfortable with such conditions.
Arriving at the restaurant. Asiyah, Maya and Pak Tomi prepared for lunch, along with the other staff who had arrived first.
Food arrived. Served in front of them.
Tomi sir who was sitting in the middle of the male staff suddenly stood up, went to the toilet.
Five minutes passed. Mr. Tomi is back. Poking the shoulder of one of his employees sitting next to Asiyah. Mr. Tomi gave the code.
“Move,” said Mr. Tomi on the male staff.
The staff was shocked too. Quickly leave his seat. Please allow Mr. Tomi to sit in his chair.
Asiyah surprised. There's Mr. Tomi next to him. It was so awkward sitting next to the boss. Asiyah tried to be ordinary.
“Ayookk all, eat. eat.” invite Mr. Tomi on all his staff.
The food was ready in front of them. Waiting to be eaten.
Asiyah was hungry too. Just eat the food. Two mouthfuls, a little drag the taste of his throat. Eating it seems too fast. Just play swallow. Maybe because I was too nervous next to Tomi. Looking for a drink, nothing, where?
Mr. Tomi gave his drink, held out a glass of water to Asiyah, as if he understood very well that Asiyah was in need of water, even though Asiyah
Tomi looked at both of Asiyah's eyes. A flash. With smile.
What is this look? Like a man's gaze on his lover, ahh maybe this is just my feeling. Asiyah looked at Mr. Tomi, one second, then turned her face away. It's not very good to drink Mr. Tomi's water. I refuse, but this throat is urgent. Oh, come on, accept it.
Sipping water given by Mr. Tomi. Asiyah felt something strange. Not good with the other staff. It's like there's a special connection between him and Mr. Tomi.
Mr. Tomi re-order water for himself on the waiter. Tomi continued eating. Just act normal. Maybe Asiyah was too confident, considering that Mr. Tomi gave more attention to her.
As usual. After lunch at the restaurant, they will look for a mosque to pray together.
Asiyah and Maya were still with Tomi when she returned to the office. The three of them again.
Asiyah was still sitting on the front bench next to Mr. Tomi, while Maya was sitting in the back. There is no driver. Tomi used to drive her own car.
“Sholat where we Asiyah?” ask Tomi sir to Asiyah. Full softness.
Mr. Tomi looked at Asiyah who was next to him. Smile again, while driving. It's like I don't care about Maya in the back.
“As for you, Me and Maya just come,” replied Asiyah.
Arriving at the mosque, it turns out that only three of them stopped by. The rest of the office staff went nowhere.
Asiyah and Maya are confused. Where are the others?
“What's up?” ask Mr. Tomi to Asiyah and Maya.
“Nothing sir, where's the other staff going sir? Didn't you follow us?” ask Asiyah to Tomi.
“Maybe they lost track of us last time on the way, let it be, later also meet at the office,” replied Mr Tomi.
Asiyah and Maya just kept quiet, nodding.
Just follow the words of Mr. Tomi.
It's not usually like this. Asiyah was a little surprised.
The three of them also entered the mosque to pray dzuhur. Even if not congregating. Because the dzuhur adhan has also long passed in the middle of their lunch time. They pray alone.
A week passed after lunch with the employees and the office boss.
As usual, Asiyah will leave the office to take care of some administrative files. At 13.00. The sun is very hot at noon today.
Huhh. subhanallah is very hot. Sultry. Burn skin. Asiyah was ready to leave. Ready to ride an office motorcycle for his trip this afternoon.
Suddenly, “Asiyah..this is still hot, you will get sick, just wait for the shade of the sun yes, just go,” Mr. Tomi approached Asiyah in the parking lot.
Haha?! What's this. Why did Tomi suddenly become like this, too good? Or the.. Asiyah.
“Let's black your skin, later on, it's okay,” continued Mr. Tomi.
"Do I want to deliver it?” ask Mr. Tomi again.
“No sir, I'll go later, wait a little shady weather."
Asiyah felt very bad about Mr. Tomi. Tomi sir is too kind to her. His attention seemed excessive. Asiyah started to feel it.
“Yaa already, I went inside first,” Mr. Tomi went to leave it in the parking lot.
“Iya Sir,” Asiyah is really confused.
It seems that Mr. Tomi was talking romantically full of seduction from his cellphone, earlier Asiyah heard like she was seducing a woman. Ahh maybe his wife is being wooed. But it was strange, like a foreign man talking to a woman he had just met.
It's just why could Mr. Tomi be this attentive to Asiyah while a few minutes ago he seduced a woman. Is Mr Tomi's kindness to everyone so, almost as much as his treatment of a wife? Ahh forget it. It's not Asiyah's business. That's his personal domain, Mr. Tomi.
Most importantly, whatever Mr. Tomi did did did not harm him at all, this was enough to serve as an excuse not to interfere too far in his affairs. Enough to know. And then forget what he got.
