New Friends

Meanwhile, Marcel could only look at him cynically, not accepting being publicly humiliated like this by Marvel.

“The two of you, please sit in a place that is still available,” told Marvel, Melati also spread her eyes towards the empty seat.

Melati walked towards the place she saw, and so did Marcel. He got a seat a little far from Melati, so he could not talk with Melati during this event.

Melati sat next to a woman, whom she had met for the first time. Not wanting to be hostile to anyone, Melati lowered her gaze after arriving at the seat next to the woman.

The woman also turned out to respond well to Melati's arrival, even giving her space so that Melati could easily sit on the empty chair next to her.

“Please, Mbak!” she said very politely, making Melati realize that not everyone in this room hates her completely.

Melati smiles before him, “Thank you, Ma'am!” he said that he was happy to meet such a good woman.

The woman thrust her hand towards Melati, “I'm Sasha, Ma'am. Name Mbak Melati ‘kan ya?” he said, who was already familiar with Melati, because he heard Melati mention her name when Melati was in front there earlier.

“Hello, Sasha! Yes, my name is Melati. Greetings, well!” he shook Sasha's hand.

They threw smiles at each other, causing comfort between them. Once enough is felt, they release their hands.

“What age, Sister Sasha?” ask Melati.

“25 years, Ma'am!” he replied, making Melati smile in embarrassment to hear it.

“Wah ... still young. I'm already 28.”

Sasha gave a small grin, “Wah .. means Ma'am Melati don't call me Ma'am. It is precisely I who have to call Mbak Melati use said Mbak,” he said who was very enthusiastic to talk with Melati.

“Wah ... Also you, Sha! So feel old me,” said Melati, with a little laughter still held back.

“Ah, age only numbers, Ma'am. Later we also understand that his old name is how.” Sasha sounds really mature to Melati.

Hearing Sasha's words, Melati became somewhat silent, thinking of something.

‘I'm old, huh? How are Mom the same Dad? I haven't been able to make them happy, nor have I given them grandchildren. Pity them, if not yet able to feel it all, Melati's inner’, who was even afraid to think about her parents who had grown old.

“Mbak is here so what?” ask Sasha.

“Secretary, Sha.”

Sasha looked at him with great pleasure, “Wih .. I have a secretary friend! So great! I'm just here to be an office girl!” he murmured who was very happy to be friends with Melati.

Melati rather blushed to hear it, “Great how, Sha?” tanyanya confusion.

“Great, because not many people can get the position. Madam Melati must be a real pinter, so get that position! Tau, right? I am so happy to be able to meet the same smart people! You can share something I don't know!” he said bluntly to Melati.

“Asik, the first day of work can be temen!” muttered Sasha who is very extroverted with her environment, in contrast to the introverted Melati.

Marvel, which is explaining about the material today, became very disturbed by their speech that was even heard to the front of the pulpit. Again, Marvel realized that the one who spoke since then was Melati.

‘Why does Melati have so many scandals, anyway?’ inner Marvel, who felt very confused had to behave like what in front of Melati who deviated with her expectations.

“The back, please shut up a little!” marvel's squealing was a little powerful, making everyone turn their heads in the direction Marvel was looking at.

Again it was Melati who made a troublemaker. People who have not liked it since, even trying to bring down Melati in front of Marvel.

Someone came in front of Melati with a cynical face, “You want me to take these two out, sir?” bargain old staff, who are trying to find face in front of Marvel.

Melati and Sasha became a little scared, as those who were unconscious had already spoken out loud enough, until the Marvel who was in front only heard what they were talking about.

“Sorry, Sir! Do not drive us from here,” said Melati, trying to apologize to the old staff.

Marvel sighed violently, ‘Also there must be an old staff trying to curry favor, her inner’ who already understood with the attitude of the old staff who wanted to expel Melati from there.

“No need. I just want to rebuke Melati myself. Enough of me, and let no one else come along to rebuke. After all, this is a small matter, there is no need to expel them from this hall,” rejects Marvel, making the old staff annoyed and hate Melati even more.

‘Duh ... watch out for you Melati! I'll teach you a lesson later!’ his inner self who felt so unacceptable was rebuked like that by Marvel, because of someone he really disliked.

“Let's continue this event. I beg you, no one to disturb the course of this event,” said Marvel, who tried to remind them of this first.

The show resumed, with Melati and Sasha more able to keep their attitude, as the material progressed.

The welcoming event of new employees this time, has ended with great fanfare. The event closed with lunch, which was prepared by the office. This lunch event is also a welcome event for the new CEO, who just took office yesterday in this office.

This is a Marvel initiative and also the heads of the team. They have not had a meal together for a long time, since the change of CEO. That's what makes them miss, and want to hold a lunch together with the employees who still survive in this company.

Melati circulated her gaze towards this sizable hall room. He saw a lot of people waiting in line, to take the food that was already available in his place.

Sasha looked at him with a smile, “Mbak Melati, let's grab lunch! I had a really big laper,” invite him excitedly, Melati just keep quiet while looking at him with a bad look.

“Emm ... take lunch?” ask Melati who is not sure about it.

“Iya, lunch,” replied Sasha very innocently.

Melati was silent for a moment, because she still remembered the lunch you had prepared for her.

‘If I eat here, lunch that already Mother ready from dawn, will not eat, dong?’ mental jasmine, who feels very worried about the situation.
