Little Dandelion
Chapters 12. Birthday of Heru Part I
Caca's final report was completed after being assisted by Nael, as Caca always thanked Nael.
"Thank you, sir."
"Together."
Caca immediately tidied up his desk and called his father asking to be picked up.
While tidying up the bag, Caca remembered how much handkerchief Nael had on her. Caca hurried to give it to Nael.
Caca knocks at Nael's office door, and Nael invites Caca to come in.
"Yes, Carisa. Come in, what's up?" ask Nael.
Caca then reached out his hand to Nael.
"What is Carisa?" ask Nael.
"This is a handkerchief, Mr. Nael. I washed it clean, sir. Thank you," said Caca.
"Save it" said Nael
"No, Sir. Don't belong to Father! Are you disgusted at my wear? calm down, Sir. I've washed, I love sachetan fragrance and it's been ironed as well" Caca said.
"It's okay, just for you. I still have a lot of handkerchiefs like that at home" Nael said as she tidied up her bag.
Caca could only thank Nael while holding the handkerchief on her chest. Ah so soft, her handkerchief material is made of high quality silk.
"Marine. Please call, Ahmad. Tell me I want to go home" asked Nael
"Yes, sir."
Caca smiled at Nael. Ah such a beautiful and sincere smile. Shortly thereafter Caca's father arrived.
Caca approached his father who was already standing in front. Everyone who saw Caca turned away. All the factory employees are talking about Caca's father who is so sad.
"Well, don't be happy if later Caca has a boyfriend, can be scared and give up see his father."
They all laugh.
Although they talked about Caca's father, but they were very respectful and admired the Father's authority.

The night has come, the day has changed, the morning has come.
Caca today requested that I do not have to take her and pick her up again at work, because Caca already felt safe and dared to go alone again, and she did not want to bother her own father.
"Dad. Today Caca went alone, yes" said Caca.
"How could that be?" dad said while chewing his food.
"Yes. Caca is brave" replied Caca.
"Yes, be careful on the road. If there's something like a phone call Dad just yes," said Dad while clenching his hands.
Caca nodded and smiled and left. Caca went back to work on a ride.
On the way to the office, Caca saw a luxury car with a license plate that was familiar to him.
"Ah it's a car, Mr. Nael. Tumben early in the morning has come," said Caca in his heart.
Caca had arrived at work, he got off the angkot and walked in. Caca saw a lot of people gathered inside the office.
"What is this? why is everyone here so early in the morning? and what about gathering here? what's the bad luck cave?" ask Caca in my heart.
Caca saw his watch. It's still 7:20 WIB. Caca walks into her room, puts her bag and sees Nael in her room. He seemed busy calling someone.
Caca then goes to the kitchen, as usual he makes coffee for Nael and Mr. Tris. After making coffee, Caca met Mba Dewi and Lista who had also come. They then chatted.
"Rubin, Mba. What's up with the rame-rame?" ask Caca curiously.
"Oh my goodness, Caca. When you do not know, Mr. Heru will come here and just come home from abroad," said Mba Dewi.
"Yes, Caca. You are not told what? today is Mr. Heru's birthday. The plan is later in the afternoon all office staff are invited to eat" Lista said.
"No idea, Mba. Lis. Really swear! no one told me" Caca said.
"Yes my. Mr. Nael didn't tell you what. He's the same room as you, "lista said.
"No," said Caca shaking his head.
Shortly thereafter Cindy came and entered the office, instantly all the eyes of the gathered people were fixed on her.
Caca gawked at Cindy who was so beautiful. Her makeup is so perfect, prettier and sexy than yesterday's appearance.
Caca then pointed at Cindy.
"Well, Cindy! come here say," said Caca calling Cindy.
"Yes, Ca. What's up?" ask Cindy.
"Eh, yesterday we were not told to know with Mr. Nael if today we go home because Mr. Heru wants a birthday," Caca told Cindy.
"Eh sorry, Ca. I forgot to tell you, actually Mr. Nael told me yesterday, and asked for your sakein too. But I'm so sorry, Ca. I forgot," said Cindy.
"Oh, that. It's okay" Caca said, as if she was hopeless.
***
The clock has sounded. Nael calls Caca.
"Carisa," call Nael.
"Yes, sir."
"Please print again the report that was yesterday yes," said Nael.
"Good, sir."
"Still putty" said Caca teasing Cindy.
Cindy just smiled shyly.
Caca gave the report to Nael while heading out to Mr. Tris' room.
"What the hell is that report, Ca? that's the report you did yesterday with Mr. Nael, right?" ask Cindy kepo.
"That's a report to make a new product" replied Caca.
As Caca recalled yesterday, "Pantes only he asked for a job in a hurry, maybe make a report to Mr. Heru, because today will go home quickly."
Ah Caca let out a long sigh again, he saw the clock was already at 10:00 WIB. Caca and Cindy start working again.
***
The break bell rings. As usual, they eat in the cafeteria. They started talking about Heru's birthday tonight. They're busy talking about their performance for the night.
Caca took another deep breath, he didn't bring a nice shirt for copies, didn't bring shoes and so on.
"Ca. Tumben aja manyun," said Mba Dewi nudged Caca's shoulder.
"It's okay, Mba. Just confused, later to the event Mr. Heru. I don't carry a copy of a shirt, I don't bring makeup, I don't bring shoes. I'm ashamed to wear this uniform there" said Caca resigned.
"Yes, anyway. Ah Cindy why the hell didn't she tell Caca? you're coming, aren't you, Ca?" ask Lista.
"Yes. Sorry," Cindy said.
"All must be present, Ca. His word will be absent there, because there is an important meeting as well," said Mba Dewi.
"What's up, Mba?" ask Caca.
"Can make a new product launch," replied Mba Dewi.
"Oh," said Caca, muttering.
***
The bell has rung. They come in and work back. While busy doing work, Nael calls Caca.
"Carisa," call Nael.
"Yes, sir."
"Please revise this report yes, something is wrong a little bit" Nael said, pointing out the wrong numbers and words.
"Good, sir."
Caca is working on the revision of the report. Every now and then his eyes looked towards the wall clock.
"Ah it's 2pm" Caca said in his heart.
Caca went to the toilet for a while, there he saw many employees and office workers who had started to get ready, some were dressing up, changing clothes and others. Caca then passed and returned to his room.
Nael asks for a revised report that Caca has made, he gives it to Nael.
"Oiya. At 3 pm we will leave, the place is quite far from here. So be prepared from now on" Nael told Cindy and Caca.
"Good, sir."
***
Everyone in the office had gathered, already preparing to leave.
Caca saw a group of people in front of him, Caca back in mind with his appearance. Then Caca was a little relieved because someone looked like him.
"That's, Mul Tea!" said Caca.
Some important employees and section heads have departed, hitchhiked and some are driving their own cars.
Nael sees a shortage of cars. He then told Ahmad to use an office inventory sedan to drive the remaining employees, and Nael would drive himself with the rest later.
Nael tells Ahmad to leave first if the car is filled. Nael has not left because he wants to take a sample of a new finished product.
Employees who still have not left there are Mba Dewi, Lista, Caca, Cindy and Teh Mul. They saw in the car driven by Ahmad was filled by Mas Karyo, and Mas Eko, still fit for one more person.
Ahmad then offered to the girls.
"Who wants to come? come here" said Ahmad.
They look at each other, they are uncomfortable because the hitchhiking is all men.
Finally Caca relented to come to Ahmad's entourage. Caca stops when Teh Mul holds Caca in the car.
"Already, Ca. Let Teh Mul aja who joined Ahmad's entourage," said Teh Mul replaced Caca.
"Oh. Yes, tea, thank you. Be careful on the road" Caca told Teh Mul.
Ahmad looked so happy, they then decided to leave first.
***
Five minutes later Nael came by his car and approached the girls who were waiting in front of the office.
"Come on. Everybody in!" nael's orders.
"Good, sir."
They chose the back bench but only enough for three people. The front bench is empty. Cindy then sat on the front bench.
"OK, girls. We let's go!" nael said gas.
They were all happy to be in the car with Nael. The car also moved forward to its destination
Seriate.
