Benalu In My House
FOURTEEN

"Duh .. bad luck again," Shandi grumbled when he opened his eyes it turned out that the clock was showing almost 7 o'clock. Without caring about Erna who was still asleep in her sleep, Shandi rushed into the bathroom and finished her bath.

"Erna, wakeup! Not that you started working again today!" Shandi shook Erna's body to wake up.

"Emmm .. What time is it, mas?" asked Erna who was still writhing with her eyes closed.

"It's 7 o'clock."

"What's? Duh, fuck!" erna said as she tossed her blankets of origin then rushed to the bathroom.

Both are now ready. Upon arriving at the dinner table, Shandi was glued. There was something different that he felt. The dining table is empty, the house is dirty and messy, even dirty dishes are scattered. Shandi stunned to think about where his wife really is? Why did he suddenly disappear.

"Erna, can't you get up early, clean the house, and prepare breakfast!" said Shandi while looking fixed on Erna's face.

"Mas, I'll have to work, where might have time to do that," rejected Erna who does not like doing homework.

"But you are now a wife, it is your duty to do so. You know, usually every time I wake up, Tari must have prepared breakfast at this table. The house is clean, there are no dirty dishes, but now .. You are completely different from Dance," said Shandi comparing Erna and Mentari.

"Mas, do not need to appeal-banding me the same barren yes! Obviously we're different, he doesn't work like me, so naturally he can do everything. I called the barren, hunted home. Tell the cook to keep cleaning up, so women do not use kayak that. I'm barren, lazy again. He should be grateful, you still keep him. It's not that you don't go home like a gini, wonder you can have a wife like that," Erna scolded at length while taking a loaf of bread and other than that then she just put it on the table. "Eat this alone, I have to go to work immediately," said Erna who soon passed from the front of Shandi.

Shandi sighed too, Erna thought. Then he took out his phone and tried to contact Mentari. Shandi is upset, even though Mentari's status is online, but he does not want to raise his call at all.

"Damn! What do you want to dance? Looks like you really want to make me angry," Shandi growled while typing a message for Mentari.

[Where are you? Go home, Dance! Don't make me angry!!] send.

After typing the message, Shandi immediately turned his body around. He has lost his appetite. What was stuck in his mind was just a sense of annoyance. Especially after seeing the story' WhatsApp from Mentari featuring a large and luxurious room that Shandi can guess it is a picture of a hotel room. Not only that, Mentari also posted a very luxurious and delicious breakfast menu. It was inversely proportional to the one before him now, just a few loaves of bread and peanut butter.

"Bad. So he was having fun sleeping in the hotel. Spend money only. I've been bad at work, but he's the one fiddling. I've never slept in a luxury hotel like that, at most a small hotel or motel, but he just ... Ck ... Just be careful if you go home later, Tari, I will definitely teach you a lesson," growled Shandi while getting into his car and then drove his car at a fairly high speed.

...***...

"Pak Shandi, called Mr. Galih to his room," said one of the MTR Furniture staff.

Shandi frowned, not usually he was summoned alone to the company's main director's room. He is only a manager, usually he can only meet his superiors when meeting with all division heads including the division heads. And now, what was he suddenly called for? Has he made a mistake?

"If you may know, for what business? Tumben, Galih, call me to his room?* asked Shandi to the staff named Agung.

But Agung just put his shoulder, "where do I know. You made a mistake, time?" terka Agung while squinting his eyes. From the beginning he did not like the existence of Shandi because he and other colleagues, Shandi's performance was not that good until in a short time he could be appointed a manager.

"Error? What mistake? Where exists. I just got in after 3 days off. Yes, then I go straight to the room, Mr. Galih. Who knows, I'm called to rise," as usual Shandi made Agung roll his eyeballs carelessly.

...***...

Tok tok ...

"Good morning, sir. Is it true that you called me?" ask Shandi.

"Sit down!" tukas Galih flat and cold. Then he closed his laptop screen and folded his hands in front of his chest.

Shandi immediately sat opposite Galih.

"Yesterday you took 3 days off, explain what the purpose is! Honestly, no lies!" firmly Galih while staring intently at Netra Shandi.

Glbt ...

Shandi swallowed his own saliva. Feelings of anxiety lingered in his mind.

"I ... I keep my wife in the hospital, sir. What's the matter, sir?"

"really?" Galih's eyes were squinting sharply.

"True, sir," Shandi's lie made Galih smile cynically.

"You know, I really appreciate employees who are loyal to the company. Characteristics of employees who have loyalty one of them is loyal to his partner. How can the employee be loyal, if with a partner alone he betrayed even with the courage to cover his marriage with other women on the grounds of keeping a sick wife. It's very outrageous" said Galih in a low and cold tone to make Shandi's breath immediately choked.

"I-I mean you, sir?" ask Shandi who is still pretending to be stupid.

Brakkk ...

Galih takes something out of the brown envelope and throws it in front of Shandi. Termag only, the earth Shandi instantly seemed to stop spinning.

"Still want to tickle, Mr Shandi?" hiss Galih made Shandi's tongue suddenly faint.

"To your own wife you can lie to her and even say it hurts to launch your marriage, especially with the company. Your loyalty is starting to be doubted. Even when I ask, you choose to lie. Therefore, sorry, from now on your position will be reduced to ordinary staff. Especially considering your performance is actually still far less than the staff who. There are still more potential staff than you. So from now on, clean up your stuff. Rinto will explain your next job" Galih said.

"But sir, you can't be this arbitrary. You can't afford to cling to your personal life and work, so you can't just drop me off!" reject Shandi who did not accept his position was demoted.

"Why not? The nature of not every you is indeed a reinforcement of reason, but did not I have said earlier, another reason is your performance is still under the staff of the others. Maybe it's time I picked up a staff that suits his abilities. When all this time I picked you up because of someone's request, but because someone it no longer wants to help you, you know, so I have full power to lower your position and replace it with a more potential and quality of course" Galih said without objection. "If you don't accept it, you please leave this company, be sure!" added Galih while grinning.

Shandi's face suddenly turned deathly pale. How could he leave this company. Just being able to work here was a fortune to him. But suddenly Shandi thought, he remembered Galih's words just now, Galih picked him up because of someone's request, but who? How powerful was he that he could ask his superiors to lift his post?

"Hows it? Do you accept being demoted or .. choosing to resign?"

"Good, sir. I'll accept your decision to lower my position even though this seems arbitrary," said Shandi in an annoyed tone to make Galih grumpy to hear it.
