The night was so dark, a woman stood behind the barrier. In front of him there is a lake located on the side of the road, you could say the woman was on the sidewalk. Look at the lake that looks calm at night. Her name is Laura, a 24-year-old woman. In his hand there is a map containing a letter of dismissal of work.
Laura has just been fired from the office where she works, her boss said she was not the type to work there. After he asked what type, it turns out his boss wants who can get up early, can be invited overtime, ready to accept impromptu work, not careless, do not eat continuously without knowing the time.
Laura knew her boss was insinuating her indirectly, because it was all her nature. So without negotiating, he immediately left the office and ended up here. Regretting his decision to not negotiate so that his boss does not fire him. I think he just wanted to say rude. Wanted to go back to the office but he was prestigious.
"Have a really nice boss, even though I have only 3 years of work there. I got fired, I got a smart job too. Surely nyesel tuh people because it's a waste of employees like me this." Laura continued to grumble in annoyance. Still don't accept what his boss says.
"See if I become a boss, I have invited the company to cooperate so that I will submit to me. Today's game is the unluckiest!" Laura kicked the soda can she had just drank.
Laura closed her mouth when she noticed that her drink can had hit someone's back there. He was silent like a statue, he turned around and walked away from here with his head looking down. He tried to keep going so fast that he pulled his thick jacket from behind to make it stop.
"After throwing trash at me and you'll run away?" A typical male voice sounded in Laura's ears. Laura could only be silent and did not dare to look back.
"I'm sorry, I really didn't intentionally. I promise I won't repeat the same thing, keep my promise."
"If you speak, you must look into the eyes of your interlocutor." Suddenly the man was standing in front of Laura.
Slowly but surely, Laura looked at the man from the ground up. Black shoes were shiny, a neat blue suit and there he saw the man's face. Handsome, but this is not the time to admire someone's good looks.
"Gue's sorry, so get out of my sight."
"You did some wrong things, littering. Disturb the peace of others, and you seem to be drunk."
"Have a son! I'm not drunk, I'm sorry. So I want to go, who the hell?! Very familiar with me." Laura looked in annoyance at the man.
Laura's mood instantly changed drastically, becoming increasingly down. He said today was the unluckiest day for him, meeting men like him, getting fired from the office, not being able to go home because he was confronted by the man. His style was very upset with him. Disturbing himself who is lamenting fate.
"Gue wants to go, move!" Laura pushed the man.
"A little while you were asking who I am?" the man closed his lips next to Laura's ears.
"We will know each other and have a close relationship, there will be another meeting after this. Prepare yourself, one more. I am Arsa Rodigwe, you know me through that clan. Our meeting was so effective, even a little bad."
***
Laura entered her home after meeting with a man who claimed to be a descendant of Rodigwe. Of course he does not believe, because all the descendants of Rodigwe he knows, surely he only confessed. He was able to go home after shouting to make everyone approach him.
He did not care whether the man was beaten by people or not, which obviously he did not want to see his face for long. Just ruin his mood. Maybe he was just a madman claiming to be a descendant of Rodigwe, but why were his clothes so neat? Like a boss.
"Laura, why have you come home? You usually go home in 3 hours." A middle-aged woman walked towards Laura. She was named Shani, who was Laura's mother.
"Lau fired ma, very arrogant Mr. Andre. It could be fired Lau, even though Lau has been diligent in his work." Just for information, Andre is the name of the boss or arguably his former boss Laura.
"You should thank your boss for keeping you for so many years. And you were there just a crumb of peanuts." Shani spoke in a quite serious tone, it made Laura even more upset.
"Mama, how did you say that?! Make it so late."
"No, my mom was joking. But it's also true what you said, it's more suitable for you to be someone's wife."
"Where would it be Crazy Rich if every payday of money was gone immediately."
"If it's my mother's temptation" said Laura at the end of the stairs. Shani can only shake his head to see the behavior of the child who has begun to mature, meaning ripe for marriage.
Laura was already in her room, she was in front of her dressing table with a towel wrapped around her hair. Just now he finished bathing and immediately shampooed, there was actually something stuck in his heart. About the man, but he did not want to think about him. He said he and he would meet again.
But he didn't believe it, he must have just lied. He may also be a madman, he is also not familiar with him. So why does he bother about this, there is no point and only adds to the burden of his mind. He will not forget that today is the unluckiest day of his life.
"Laura, papa heard you were fired from the office. Is that true?" Andi, Laura's father went into Laura's room.
"Papa if you go into the room knock on the door, make Lau surprised." Laura's getting pissed today.
"Papa knocked on the old door, but you didn't hear. Yeudah papa just go in your room." Andi sat on the edge of Laura's bed.
"What about papa's question?"
"Laura fired pa, but a very nice boss anyway. If Laura's smart, it's gone bankrupt, the company."
"You can't say that, you also get money from there. Papa told you to correct your attitude, it's appropriate that your boss fired you."
"Papa even think of him anyway?! Ih, really. Papa and mama alike, piss me off."
Laura is an only child, always spoiled. His parents had a business in the culinary field. But Laura was not interested there and instead worked in someone else's company. But his parents had no problem with that at all. Because his childhood was full of luxuries, so he could not work well.
But his boss was able to defend himself for 3 years. The salary he asked was quite large, fortunately his boss was still his papa friend. So he can ask for the salary and position he wants. But he did not come, he still understood the rules.
"I'm sorry, oh yeah. Papa wants to say something to you."
"What are you talking about?" Laura looked back.
"Tomorrow you're not going anywhere."
"Why indeed? I plan to find work tomorrow."
"Don't be, you should stay home tomorrow anyway. There will be guests coming, so you must respect the guests."
"You can be mom and dad alone."
"Well, I don't want to know, you have to be home! If you're out, you should be willing to continue papa's business in the culinary field."
"Papa can't do it dong, let alone cook. In the kitchen, never."
"If you don't want to, that's why you'll stay home tomorrow."
"Yes, yes" Laura finally broke up.
