Today is Zikri's second day at work. As usual, she woke up early in the morning. He's very excited. Every morning has a new activity, namely feeding Moli her pet cat.
At 7 he was ready to go to work.
Upon arrival at the guard post, he as usual did the morning apple to pray together.
But Mr. Budi has not come yet. Until 8 p.m., Pak Budi never came.
Zikri tried to call Mr. Ilham.
"Pak Ilham knows Mr. Budi why he hasn't come yet,
though today he's part of the morning, does he know?" Ask Zikri
"You know, sir." Answer Mr. Ilham
"I tried asking the others." Zikri hung up.
Zikri was confused that no one else was working, should now be morning he was with Pak Budi, noon Pak Arif and Yanto, the night part of Mr. Ilham and Mr. Setya.
One by one Zikri tried calling, no one knew. The phone is not active either.
Finally inevitably Zikri that morning worked alone.
"Where is Mr. Budi, it should if not enter will have to tell first." Zikri
That day Zikri was very busy, all the work he did himself.
From a distance it turns out that Mr. Budi noticed Zikri.
"Think that's why the new boy doesn't be the commander." Said Mr. Budi
Mr. Budi felt that Zikri was not suitable to be a commander, because he was the longest working there.
Patiently Zikri continued to work, he thought Pak Budi did not enter there really was an important need.
When the break arrived, Zikri then brought his rice box. He ate rice at his desk.
At that time Mr. Arief called him.
"Assalamualaikum sir."
"Waalaikumsalam Mr. Arief."
"My brother just come in now yes, I'm afraid Mr. Zikri is not working." Said Mr. Arief
"No need sir, after all a few hours are also over shift sir." Answer Zikri
"What's up, sir?" Said Mr. Arief again
"It's nothing sir." Answer Zikri
In the heart of Mr. Arief had guessed why Mr. Budi did not enter that day, only he did not tell Zikri.
"Well, sir, I'll hang up."
"Yes sir."
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalight."
After eating, Zikri went to the mushola. Then he took ablution and prayer.
Time is already noon, it does not feel that day work time will soon end. Mr. Arief and Mr. Yanto have started to come in place of the morning shift.
"Sir...!" Said Mr. Arief
"Eh, Mr. Arief...Mr Yanto, have you come?"
"Pak Zikri is working alone?" Ask Mr. Yanto
"Yes sir." Answer Zikri
"Where is Mr. Budi, his cellphone can not be contacted." Said Mr. Yanto
"Yes, it's okay sir, maybe he has a sudden need." Zikri said patiently
"But you can't, sir, you should have told me not to go to work." Sahut Pak Arief
"Sir is okay."
Though Mr. Arief had thought that Mr. Budi must have deliberately not entered work today.
"Where are you all safe, right?" Ask Mr. Arief
"Alhamdulillah sir, all is safely under control." Answer Zikri
"Alhamdulillah if so, has Mr. Zikri come home soon must be tired today right?" Obviously Mr. Arief
"Yes sir, I'm done first." Answer Zikri
"Already sir, do not need to. finish the table let us just." Said Mr. Yanto
"Oh, thank you, sir."
"If so I say. Assalamualaikum."
"Getishalight."
Zikri immediately stepped his foot back home. It was obvious that he was very tired that day. Arriving at home, Zikri immediately laid his body on the floor.
"Today is exhausting." Zikri
He took a glass of water and drank it.
He looked at the clock, it turned out that time had started late in the afternoon. He hurried to clean his body.
Then there was a voice....
"Meowl... Meow..." The sound of a cat ringing
"Jeez forget not to feed the Moli." Zikri
Zikri went straight to Moli, her cat.
"You want to get out of the cage?"
"Come if you want to get out." Said Zikri while taking out her cat.
Fortunately there was a cat, Zikri like there was a friend at home.
Zikri refills the water and food. He opened the door of the cage. He let his cat run around.
Suddenly, Zikri's phone rang. He took his cell phone, and then he saw his screen. Video call from his wife.
"Assalamualaik." Zikri said to his wife
"Waalaikumsalam Mr... What else is Mr?" Ask his wife
"Just shut up, Mom, look at Moci." Answer Zikri
"Have you eaten yet sir?" ask his wife again
"Not yet ma'am buy it ahead."
"Oh yes sir, Arul has graduated SMK what if he tries to find a job there?" Wife Said
"If Arul wants to, come here aja Bu, can ride travel, because now I have no schedule of holidays that are rather long if you go home there." Zikri
"Yes, sir, I'll talk to Arul again."
"Yes, Mom."
"Where's the cat?" Ask Ezra Zikri's son
"He ran here and there again, not yet freed this morning." Answer Zikri
"Sir Arul where is Za?" Ask Zikri
"Ka Arul was out sir, maybe go with his friend." Ezra
"Oh yeah, what about Za's school, everything's good?" Ask Zikri
"Current dong Sir." Answer Ezra
"Yes, Alhamdulillah."
"Ready Commander." Answer Ezra
Zikri laughed at the commander's word from Ezra's mouth.
"Yes you ate there first, this already want magrib loh." Said his wife
"Oh yes soon Maghrib yes, yes I have been looking for rice tea first."
"Yes sir." Answer Ezra
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalight."
Zikri put the cat in the cage, he locked the door to his house, then he went to the front of the alley to find food.
Zikri has to save money, because the payday is still long. The money he had left a little.
Finally he went to Bu Asih.
"Assalamualaikum Ma'am." Zikri
"Waalaikumsalam, uh Mr. Zikri, let's go in sir." Answer Ma Asih
"Yes ma'am thank you, I want to buy a rice friend."
"Hayu please sir, what will you do the same?" Ask Bu Asih
"Sama oseng knows, same bakwan aja Bu."
"What eggs is his chicken, sir?" Asih mother offers
"That ma'am is just that." Answer Zikri
"His rice is not sir?" Ask Bu Asih again
"Don't ma'am, I happened to have cooked the contracted rice."
"Oh yes then."
"So how many ma'am?" ask Zikri
"Seven thousand." Answer Ma Asih
"This is the money, thank you very much."
"Yes sir, the same."
"Assalamualaik."
"Getishalight."
Zikri returned home.
