"Why can you let your guard down like this?" benny asked in a high voice while staring at the marketing team at his sandal and shoe factory.
The four people standing in front of Benny's desk could only be bowed down due to the fatal mistake that occurred. Moreover, all this time they had never seen Benny's anger like this morning.
"The value is not tens of millions! This is worth eight hundred million! Who's in charge of this blank check from Gatot!" Benny's voice grew so high that he hit his desk.
"I've warned many times, don't want to accept cheque or checking payments! How many years have you worked here? Since the beginning, I have had money, there are things! For example, there must be a credit payment system, even that must be to my knowledge! Why this time you are presumptuous to give goods to new people with a check payment system!"
"Who makes the rules can send the products by outer expedition! You don't know yet how our delivery system is? It is clearly written in the factory regulations, all items coming out of the warehouse must be delivered by vehicle from the factory!"
Benny could not control his emotions because of the carelessness of the marketing team that had been trusted. A thousand pairs of sandals have been taken away by a new salesman named Gatot. Of course this makes Benny's head throb. Inevitably he had to intervene to find the existence of the sales.
"You're underestimating me as it turns out! My trust, ease and royalty in you guys is not for this. Not to belittle me! What the hell do you want? Do I need to make new rules?" Benny rested his body on the back of the chair. This time his voice was lower than before.
"Hilda! Who's in charge of this case?" Benny looked at the head of marketing who had been responsible for running product marketing.
"All marketing teams will be responsible for all these mistakes, sir. We apologize profusely for this negligence. We promise not to repeat the mistakes that have happened. We are ready to accept all the consequences of the Father" said Hilda firmly.
The hijab-wearing woman was actually afraid to see the anger of the boss who had been considered good. This problem occurs because his men are in charge of offline marketing. Of course this is not an easy matter because at least have to find where the item is hidden including the existence of a man named gatot who must be responsible for all this.
"Find the whereabouts of Gatot! Track where our goods are shipped to him! If Gatot can't pay the payment, pull the item!" tell Benny with a look full of anger, "get out of this room! Continue your work, I do not want to know .. later in the afternoon I have to get information about the man!" tell Benny while pointing at the exit.
The marketing team of four people immediately left in front of Benny. They were frightened to see the anger that emanated from the eyes of the owner of this factory. I don't know what they're going to do to take responsibility for this. One thing is for sure, they must take full responsibility for everything that happens.
Benny let out a rough breath after the marketing team came out of his room. He stared at the brightly lit laptop screen. The nominal value written there made his head even more throbbing. Eight hundred million is not a small value for the production of sandals in the industry.
"Please track the whereabouts of a man named Gatot Pujo with ID card number 3616187878787871. Immediately inform the track record," Benny said after making a phone call with someone.
Heavy breathing sounds there. Benny massaged the base of his nose because of this problem. He began to think of the steps he had to take in order to search for the whereabouts of the person who was carrying away his goods.

An orange hue unfolds on the western horizon as it accompanies the sun preparing to return to the contest. The birds began to fly in search of the nest as soon as the sky turned dark.
"Come in, kid. I want magrib," Fina asked, patting Elza on the shoulder.
"How come you haven't come home yet, Mom? Usually not until the sky is dark Papa has come home," asked Elza while raising his head.
"Maybe Papa still have a job, baby," Fina said so Elza wouldn't ask about her father.
Though the truth is Fina herself was worried about her husband who never came home. It's not usually Benny doesn't tell me if he's late. Usually around four in the afternoon, the father of two children had already reached home.
"Come, in! It's not good at hours like this outside. Pity me for the wind" asked Fina while swinging Shazia who was in her carriage.
"Adek Zia is beautiful again what the hell is that? Want to ask what the hell, Dek? Want a peck or some chocolate?" Elza sat down on the side of the sofa while talking to Shazia who was chattering.
"His sister's age is cilok? There are no teeth yet," said Fina while making a smile.
"When did Zia grow teeth, Ma? For a long time anyway," asked Elza while looking at her mother.
"Shazia is five months old, son. So it hasn't grown its teeth. Later if it grows it can definitely bite Elza's sister, huh, Dek?" said Fina while looking at her daughter who was on her stomach.
The sound of adzan magrib was heard in all corners of the housing. Simultaneously Benny emerged from the connecting door of the garage and family room. He walked away with a face that seemed to bear a heavy burden. Fina knew that her husband was not okay.
"Elza pray magrib first yes," said Fina while looking at Elza with a sweet smile. He didn't want his son until he heard about the problems Benny was facing.
"I pray in front of the musholla can ya, Ma? Ride by," asked Elza enthusiastically.
"Yes, can. Take the sarong and the peck in the room first. But you must remember, you must not play or stop by anyone's house after returning from prayer. Understand, right?" fina said firmly.
"Ready, Ma!" Elza gave a thumbs up before leaving the family room. He was very enthusiastic because he could pray together with his friends.
After Elza left the family room, Fina sat next to Benny. He lifted Shazia up and poked her on his lap. Fina patted Benny's thigh to make the master turn towards him.
"What's wrong?" asked Fina with a soothing word.
"There's a problem in the factory" the father of two replied without passion.
"There's a big problem, right?" ask Fina again.
Benny let out a heavy sigh after hearing the question. Until now, he has not received detailed information on where Gatot is. He rubbed his face rough before telling him the problem that was happening to him. Fina listened carefully to her husband's complaint. Of course he was surprised after hearing the nominal mentioned by Benny, but he tried to remain calm so as not to make things worse. He didn't comment until Benny finished.
"Prophey yes, my. Perhaps this is a rebuke from God that we should be more careful. It is possible that God is showing us all the bad people around us. If indeed the person is not found and the goods do not return, let us strengthen our hearts. Let's just say, it's not our sustenance, Mas," Fina said calmly. He rubbed Benny's head that was leaning on his shoulder.
"It's not that easy, Fin," Benny denied in a soft voice. He really needed a place to lean on at the moment.
Fina relentlessly calmed her husband even though she herself could not accept this incident. He had to hide the burning taste in the chest due to this calamity. She held back tears to keep from flowing in front of Benny because she could add to her husband's burden.
"It is better now that the bath continues to take ablution. We pray first yuk! There is still a prayer mat for us to prostrate and surrender to Him" said Fina while rubbing her husband's hair.
