Beautiful Monster
First Job


On the first day, Ignacia felt like she was going back in time. To a place where he should not sit in the library and take care of the books of loans returned. He should have walked south after parking the motorbike. And Ignacia should be able to see Rajendra when looking out the window.


Unfortunately, this school is not his old school. Not where Ignacia could steal a glance at her lover who always seemed to be with some girl discussing something. Rajendra will never get here. Ignacia also did not want to bring her lover here. Know for sure if his lover will be bored. He is not interested in any book.


"Ignacia" a voice called out. He emerged from the library door. His steps quickly towards his friend behind the oversized table. "Our library staff came in earlier than scheduled. What about after meeting with the library manager earlier? He taught you a lot?"


"More than I know." Ignacia smiled. In front of him was already a book that would be used to record the name of the student who borrowed the book. "I can't wait to see the students give me their library cards and tell me when they should return the books."


For a long time Nesya had not felt the atmosphere of school with Ignacia. Once again they are met with a strange destiny. The world of the two does not want to be separated. Ignacia would not be in a class with her. There will be no second name in the absent book. During the break, Nesya could not be accompanied to buy drinks in the cafeteria again.


"Nesya," this time his friend was called by someone. Ignacia looked over because of her natural reflexes. Her friend's heart is coming. "I've been looking for you everywhere. I thought you hadn't come yet, so I wanted to pick you up." Doesn't this look like Nesya's point of view when she was single?


There was still time before the two began teaching. Hence Nesya intended to greet her friend first. Farhan did not forget to greet Ignacia. The girl just smiled kindly and greeted back. It feels lonely if Rajendra is not here. This atmosphere is very suitable for the chairman of MPK in his force. Looks like Ignacia is missing her lover again.


"Ignacia, we're saying back to the teacher's room. Would you like to have lunch together in the cafeteria?" Nesya looked at her friend with sparkling eyes. Ignacia will not refuse if invited. "Good, I'll come here in the afternoon. Good work, officer Maheswari."


As soon as they were, the library turned extremely quiet. While waiting for someone to come borrow a package book or something else, Ignacia will check the ads she had made about Proofreader. Someone might be interested in contacting him.


"It's okay, everything takes a long process." To pass the time, Ignacia opened several senior Proofreader pages. Look at the development of those who also start from the beginning. On social media, Ignacia created an account for this work. He can get a relationship there.


Time passes so fast. Ignacia until unconscious if two hours have passed. No one's coming. The first hour-rest bell still hasn't rang. No one should come. In addition, someone who should have served with Ignacia today was unable to attend. Ignacia was completely alone.


The girl kept herself away from her laptop for a while. He looked at the many bookshelves lined up in front of him. They were all as lonely as Ignacia. Perhaps there was a good book that could accompany Ignacia to settle down until the hour of returning home. Ignacia got off the chair, approaching the shelves she had cleaned with her senior yesterday.


Yesterday Ignacia found many novels that would have liked the teenagers here. Almost all genres are available. It's just that Ignacia didn't find a book from her favorite author while cleaning the shelves. The girl's goal is to move to the stronghold of the shelf that her senior cleaned. Maybe there's something interesting there. By the way Ignacia wondered if her collection of books at home could be brought here.


Many senior author books and reference books for assignments. There were still two shelves that Ignacia had yet to explore. The farther away, the place looked more dim. The sunlight outside could not get here because of the row of shelves in front of him. Ignacia forgot to turn on all the lights. But no one came, so Ignacia undoes her intention to do her job.


Surprise appeared, Miss Cream's book was on the last shelf. Ignacia immediately grabbed one of the books there. Most of Miss Cream's books here are also in Ignacia's house. It feels like being home now. The girl sat on the floor, leaning against the shelf while opening the contents of the book. The contents can be directly Ignacia remember meksipun only read a few sentences on the page that opened the origin. His memories are back too.


"Excuse me." Ignacia immediately got up as soon as she found a man standing at the end of the row of bookshelves. Apparently his friend's lover. Farhan seems to need help. "Sorry, I want to borrow thirty-five package books for the eleventh grade. There will be some students taking it."


"Well, I'll write it down for a minute." As soon as Ignacia stood back behind the table, some disciples came as Farhan said. They were asked to show a library card to process. The package book also uses the card to borrow. "Please return it immediately after use." Ignacia reminded the students before they left.


Farhan was still living in the library, still standing in front of Ignacia's desk. Slowly his body turned around, there was a pause of a few seconds without him doing anything else. "Thank you, I'm leaving." That guy looks weird. It used to seem like it was going to say something but now it's on the pitch going to follow its students.


Silent again. Ignacia had brought the book she had found to her desk. Reading a book while you wait for time to pass may help. Unfortunately reading here is not as quiet as at home. There were some students who borrowed novel books and references once the first break began. Ignacia's first rush hour came.


The students who borrowed the package books back. They arranged the book in a neat place. Before leaving they greeted Ignacia and smiled kindly. Alternate with some other students who will borrow other package books. They use their free time well so as not to leave the class again after the entrance hours.


Many girls come to borrow high school romance novels. Some approached Ignacia to ask if the book they had asked the librarian to keep could be retrieved. These kids would rather read in this quiet place than take it home. Every hour of their first break will come to read.


Later before the first break ends, they will ask the officer to keep it again. The library felt card was also processed into data. Ignacia is on the decline. One by one those sitting in the library began to put books in the place of return and waltzed away after greeting the officer.


As soon as the break ended, silence returned to Ignacia's company. Fortunately, no one asked about the book the officer had taken. Back to reading mode. Just arriving at the next page, there were already several other disciples borrowing package books. Maybe he should have read for now and reassembled the book in place of return.


Ignacia will write her reply once the task is done. Preventing him from returning home late because he had to reorder his books before closing the library. Her senior told Ignacia to return the book as soon as the break was over. The school asked for the library to always look neat with books that always return to their original place after being borrowed.


He likes his job of having to put books back in place. The work of processing library cards is not as fun as walking between bookshelves. Ignacia is back. Can't wait to reply to her lover's message. Of course the job is fun. Besides being able to enjoy the comfortable atmosphere with books, Ignacia also only does easy work unless there is a book submission.


Nesya came as she said this morning. It just so happened that Nesya had no teaching hours after the second break. He was able to be with Ignacia after the library closed. The cafeteria was very quiet, there were only a few people with the two. If it is so comfortable it feels so comfortable.


"Farhan's not coming?" Ignacia asked. He thought the three of them would be here. Nesya. His girlfriend still has class and he'll drive Nesya home when she's done. Farhan had eaten during the break, so now his stomach did not want to be filled again. Nesya seemed happy to talk about Farhan. Ignacia was interested in the other side of her friend this one.


Nesya asked about Ignacia's first job today. How does it affect after interacting with the students who come to borrow books. And is Ignacia happy to be in the cold library all the time. Nesya sure this friend must be very comfortable especially if the library is empty. And his friend's beliefs are right.


Still talking about the library, Ignacia was curious about her colleagues in the library. Tomorrow he will meet this man and maybe Nesya knows him. "If it's that I don't know. Your partner is also a new person, we both have never met him. Just wait until tomorrow and you get acquainted for the first time."


On the way home, Ignacia walked with Nesya to the parking lot of teachers and staff. Farhan was waiting on his bike. His eyes did not stop staring at the glasses-clad girl who was walking beside Ignacia. This time Ignacia will witness the sweet moment of her friend. It was funny to see Farhan staring and then thrusting a helmet at his lover.


Tomorrow is coming soon. Ignacia came early to clean the bookshelves. Several times he glanced at the door, checking if his partner had come. Until he finished cleaning all the shelves from dust, Ignacia still had not seen him. Then when he was going to save the duster to the cleaning tool, someone greeted from the outside.


Ignacia hurriedly turned her head, delaying the move to enter the small room. His eyes were almost perfectly rounded if only Ignacia had forgotten that the person could see his reaction. The woman standing in the doorway was similarly shocked. Didn't expect to be able to meet someone he knew as his front-door neighbor's lover.


"You're the one, Ignacia. You've been coming since?" Feby stepped in with his socks on. Ignacia hastened to return the bell to meet Feby and get acquainted. Honestly, it was a surprise to meet his girlfriend's friend. "It looks like the world is starting to narrow for me." Feby chuckled and smiled.


If he had known that Ignacia's world was too narrow wherever he went. Eventually Ignacia didn't have to deal with computers anymore. There's been Feby who can do it. The two chatted for a while, trying to familiarize themselves so as not to be awkward. They will spend a long time here from now on.


In the midst of silence, Ignacia chooses to check out the ad she placed for her second job. Ignacia was not working hard. He left his phone to read a book. Meanwhile, Feby tries to open the website that he uses to process the students' library cards. To restore his memory.


Amidst the morning's calm, Feby asks if Ignacia likes books. When viewed from the busyness of this co-worker, Feby can conclude so. Ignacia marked a paragraph from her book before nodding in agreement. He said Ignacia must have lingered here because she loved books. Once again Ignacia nodded.


Ignacia didn't say much, she nodded and shook her head for a question that didn't need an explanation. Feby thinks that this funny attitude must have made Rajendra fall in love with this girl. Feby just laughed because Ignacia answered so briefly. Between Ignacia neither likes pleasantries nor because the two are not yet close.


Ignacia's facial water changes when some students come to borrow a package book. Ignacia asks one of them to write the name on the visitor list and let them take what is needed. Feby processes the data. Afterwards Ignacia seemed to be uninspired again.


"This is your first job?" Feby asked.


"Yes, this is my first. How's yours?" Feby smiled slightly, finally Ignacia asked him back.


"Yes, I'm the same. It's just that you feel more excited when doing busy here. Maybe because it's new?" I don't know if Ignacia doesn't know either. He just feels less hard working. Therefore he will give the best performance for the first days and so on until his term expires.


Someone's phone is vibrating on the table. It belonged to Feby. He was allowed to go out for a while to answer a call from a friend. This colleague got up from sitting and shifted the buttons on the screen. Ignacia overhears a familiar name before focusing on the reading book.


"Sarah, how are you? You all right? Stop eating spicy food." They must be good friends. Feby even asked about the girl's situation. Upon returning, Feby complained to Ignacia. He said the theme often eats spicy food because it feels desperate. He now has a problem with his digestive system.


"Why is he desperate?" Ignacia asked.


"Because she decided on her boyfriend."
