CEO's Dream Cully
Trapped by the Rules

Conditions were still tense when Mr. Alvian was ordered by Mr. Lintang to explain again about the company's regulations.

"According to company regulations, employees are not allowed to use the hijab while working." Said Mr. Alvian firmly.

DUARR

I'm surprised not to love. It's like a bolt of lightning. If the rules about working hours, pay cuts, or the like I don't care. But if this were to mention religious beliefs, I wouldn't be able to accept it.

"Ok Lyra's. You've heard it yourself from Mr. Alvian. We beg for cooperation," Mr. Lintang's tone softened.

But instead, I do not accept it now.

"Why is it forbidden, sir?" my forehead wrinkled.

"Because the rules here are like that!" answer Mr. Lintang.

*I want a concrete answer," I'm after.

"Ooh bawel once," muttered Mr. Lintang lirih.

"What did you say?" I'm getting bolder.

"Ah no. You heard wrong maybe. I just cleared my throat," said Mr. Lintang.

Even worse, Mr. Alvian actually looks as comfortable as he himself.

"Why is Mr Vian smiling?!" semburku.

Cepps..He kept his mouth shut and threw away his face as if he had never done anything.

"It is now my turn to ask the honourable Fathers. If there are hijab employees, does it hurt the company?" yell loudly.

"Of course it's detrimental. Work becomes disrupted because the employee uses the hijab." Reply Mr. Lintang lugas.

"The appearance of employees also decreased so that clients and colleagues became less comfortable," added Mr. Alvian did not want to lose.

"good. Now please check the job data. Is the number of items I pelted every day fewer than the male porters in the warehouse?. Do I need to tell you that I'm the top scorer holder of the number of hip items to this day?" I kept barking ferociously.

The two men opened their mouths wide. They certainly wouldn't have expected to face a woman like me. Don't expect you guys to manage my life. Just yummy.

"OKs. Let us take the example so that honorable Fathers have a clear comparison. If the hijab does interfere with work and harm the company then you have concluded that the mothers of Polwan hijab at the police station there have harmed the country? Is that right, Mr Lintang? Mr Alvian?" now my eyebrows are raised up.

"Yes not so. We better.."

"I go on first," not finished Mr. Alvian said, I've cut back.

"If by wearing a hijab makes a decreased appearance, then it means that you clearly conclude that Siti Nurhaliza, Melly Goeslaw, or even the Governor of East Java Ibu Khofifah Indar Parawansa is ugly?. Right Sir?" the volume of my voice is getting higher.

"Waduw.why even carry the name of the governor of all.." whispered Mr. Alvian but I could hear.

"Why the Governor, sir. Or do you want me to call him?. It just so happened that we exchanged contacts when I won one of the inter-state martial arts tournaments last year." Hehe now I'm above the wind.

"alright. I admit to losing. You're free to wear the hijab in this company," hihi Pak Lintang twitched his forehead.

"can't. I ask you to revoke the regulation on the prohibition of hijab for female employees while working in this company. Before this business gets long!" biarin deh, maksa dikit that is important to bring benefits to all.

"I will bring that aspiration for me to bring a meeting with Mr. Bintang Fanani. I can't promise a goal, but I'll try my best." Pak Lintang surrendered dong.

"I don't want a rejection, sir. I wait for the results of the meeting. If you lose, then I ask to be brought along during the next meeting. Sorry if I was presumptuous, but I carry an important mission for all hijab female employees in this company. And behind me, there is the Governor of course. Hope you're not looking for trouble with him," fiuhh after my struggle.
