I WISH THERE WAS HAPPINESS
CHAPTRE 7

I twirled my ballpoint pen, weighing what I would do first. My fingers tapped on the cubicle table, I glanced to the side, there was a post that stuck to the left side of the monitor with my work plan one week ahead.

On my neck hangs an identification card with the words “staff specifically” in front of him. This card is unique, because just by attaching it to the scanner tools available in every corner of the company, I was able to access all the facilities in this company.

For a month now, I've been adapting to the environment I work in. That's right, that's right, I ended up working for a big company called Tendean Veter.

This company is engaged in real estate development, this company develops and manages residential properties, commercial businesses, industrial and shopping centers, offices and also recreation areas.

I am required to be thorough in my work, so I always consider which job I should first. My work has a lot to do with data, recording and organizing data in the company.

In addition, I am also responsible for preparing the company's work agenda, therefore, I must be able to work carefully and calmly. Sometimes I am depressed by simultaneous hunting jobs, but I do it cheerfully and try my best not to make mistakes.

“Nda, have you eaten?” asked Dita, surprising me, Dita then entered my room.

Dita and I finally meet again, as Dita is always energetic. Dita's the only co-worker who makes me feel comfortable in a new environment. We were both appointed to special staff, but different divisions. I was placed in the second division, while Dita filled the void in the third division, the room opposite to my room.

Every day we usually take a break together in the company cafe, because both new employees, Dita and I become familiar quickly. I feel we both have a similar fate as new employees. We both tried to blend in with the work environment, which was a new world for us.

“Not yet, the cave is still thinking about work, which confused cave first should be the cave work first,” I replied, not turning.

Being familiar, I was no longer awkward with him, and I treated him more casually, even though he was three years older than me.

“Eat first you, work can be thought of later, yuk Cepetan Nda, lu fainted berabe cave,” he said, while pulling my hand to get out of the chair.

With a heavy heart, I left my job, I locked the computer that was displaying the data I was researching, then put my phone in my pants pocket. I followed Dita, walking towards the company cafe, which was on the top floor.

The incoming phone ring rang loudly, I saw the name on my phone screen, no need to guess others, certainly Joseph who contacted me.

“Your rest, don't keep working!” said.

“Buset, no cue first, sir. Just shoot,” I replied

“Lagian, hunt your rest,” command again. “Company is easy, if someone is sick just ask for a holiday at home, if the like died live charity, continue they can recruit new ones, they will not care about your feelings, if you do not, same state you. Therefore, do not be too subject to cooperation, work there is time, do not continue to work,” Joseph scolded.

“Iya, gua understand, sadistic really your speech. I've been diem deh, this is also the way to eat, want to go to the cafe. Don't bring any more! Cave will not die just because of work, yes!” protestable.

“Don't die, the cave needs you, the cave doesn't give you anything yet. Ah, come on, eat spit, do not delay,” he said.

“Iya!” I replied, a little screaming, making Dita look at me.

“Yes, cave closed, huh? Do not miss the same cave, later meet the cave pick up,” he said.

“Iya, okay. Dear Mr Joseph,” I replied.

“Assyik, ntar cave hug dah. Cave close, bye,” concluded.

Oh, for Joseph, he kept his promise to take me home for three days, and occasionally he also asked me to go to work with him.

Joseph was actually a programmer, but he did not work at any company, Joseph being a part-time worker at several companies. As a programmer Joseph was required to write code to create computer software. For such a job, Joseph did not have to stay somewhere, Joseph could work from anywhere, with adequate internet of course.

Although not tied to a company, the income Joseph could collect, more than a CEO's salary, he always said he was an elegant job, and I agree with that, I can be like that, wait, this is just the beginning.

“Lu earlier why can be confused so dah, Nda, did you know what?” ask Dita.

“That, Miss Labil asked for a data cave, kept the Boss down and asked to make a work report. The cave is confused, which one used to be, both are important,” I explained.

Miss Labil is the name I made for my boss, I called her that because she was completely unstable. A little bit angry, a little bit screaming, but at one time also he could suddenly turn into a mellow, then he would be silent a thousand languages.

“Select aja more urgent first, new work the other, surely between the two tasks there are more urgent, right?” dita's Suggestion.

“There are, the work report of the Boss is more urgent. If the data of Miss Labil usually wait to settle first she checks the other files. The working cave has the Boss first what, yes?” my answer.

“That's obvious, you also don't think too much about things like gini, if it's not finished now, can be done tomorrow, don't maxain, work will not run out, Nda,” Dita's advice.

The elevator rang and opened, we had reached the company cafe, I started looking for the food I wanted to eat, for now it seemed like sweet food could make my focus back again.

After considering, I finally ordered a lunch package that was always available on the menu, and a piece of brownies. After we finished ordering, we immediately looked for seats that were still empty, in the break hours like this, the cafe was very crowded visitors, so it was not easy to find empty seats.

We finally found an empty table, enough for both of us, even though we were the most late, in fact there are still many employees who still spend their rest in the cafe.

After finishing eating, Dita and I decided to stay for a while in the cafe, enjoy the atmosphere, and chat. I can discuss anything with Dita, from work problems to state problems did not escape our discussion. But suddenly …

“Eh, uh, you know there's a new kid in division two? It's only been a month, but he's been successful in beating the boss. The work period that should be done two days, has finished dong within one working day, crazy ‘kan tuh people, kegjilatnya make people difficult,” said a senior employee at one of the cafe tables.

I heard my senior-senior chatter, their chatter caught my attention, it just so happened that I was right in front of them, my sitting position turned my back to them. It is not my fault that when all their chatter is heard, they also have no intention of shrinking the voice.

“Crazy, really hard, who is it? The cave knows who it is? If the cave knows, the cave must teach him a lesson, dare to destroy the work of people,” said his friend, sounding annoyed.

“Tau! The cave has met as late as doang but, his name is Rin .. Rin .. ah Rinda! Yes really the Rinda,” replied someone who discussed the first time.

“Oh, gua tau, gua tau, he's the pinter's ass, ‘kan? Crazy really, really brave, cave knows the person, later if you meet the cave of love lesson, which I think can not be let go, just like, he does not know what, yes, he does not know, entering work here is not easy,” said his friend again.

My heart immediately pumped up quickly, I glanced at Dita who was also looking at me, I did not have time to think whether my name Rinda called or another Rinda. Considering I was a new employee at this company, their statement further convinced me that they were indeed discussing my work.

“Udah sok pinter, weird again, very caper vows,” chimps other voices in the association.

If they were right to talk about me, I never felt like I was making them trouble, I was just doing my job, I was just following the orders I had been assigned, nothing more.

Hearing the word “licking Bos” makes my brain boil, the reason I work on target, and very meticulous is because I know what my job is, I know what I have to do.

In the first week I worked at this company, I saw my manager being scolded by my big boss, my big boss's swearing sounded loud everywhere, I was there to ask for autographs on all the reports my manager requested.

Usut got my manager wrong to enter the quantity data, causing the company's budget to swell from the agreed upon, angry big boss. Because of that, to minimize similar events I try to be careful, more careful, and try to work on a schedule even before the schedule.

I still looked at Dita, not believing everything I heard from my colleagues. Without speaking, I asked Dita to get out of her seat, I could no longer be in the cafe. Not out of fear, but because I wouldn't cause a mess if they suddenly found out I was at the cafe.

“Emang cave wrong yes ..?” I asked Dita, after being away from the cafe.

“Udah don't be horrified,” replied Dita.

“They talked cave, and the cave happened to hear, Dit, the cave can't be quiet anymore,” I said.

“Yes, he calls your name, but you don't feel like they're talking about?” ask Dita.

“Nggaklah, where ever the grotto shudder Boss, cave work according to the task of the cave, you know yourself ‘kan the reason for the cave work kayak what,” I replied.

“Gua understand, but ‘kan they do not know the reason, Nda, which they see you wrong in their eyes, let alone us new employees, emang easy food to be a senior talk. Yes, it is, Nda, do not think about it anymore, you just work as usual, do not need to think about them, not important, whose salary we are not them,” explained Dita.

“But why can they talk like that?” I asked, still amazed.

“They can't afford your kayak, they indirectly admit that you are much better than most seniors here,” replied Dita.

“That, yes?”

“Yes, don't make them win, prove you are more everything than them,” he concluded.

Dita's words are right, as long as I do my work according to what the company has determined, I don't need to worry about something from someone else's mouth.

I should have accepted the good of my struggle, it would have been a waste if I had responded to those who did not even know about me. This is my choice, so I must also be prepared to accept the consequences.
