After almost a week here, Nia began to understand the cultural and linguistic customs of the country.
When he first came to this place he was offended by the word "slave" because if in Indonesia the word slave has a negative connotation which means workers who are bought, because if in Indonesia the word slave has a negative connotation, it turns out that if here the word slave is prevalent which means child, as is the custom in Indonesia to call children, then here it is called slaves.
Today Shift C is in Shift two, starting at work at eight p.m
Time shows at four in the afternoon when Nia just woke up from her nap, she deliberately slept first so that later the night was not too sleepy.
He intends to go down to buy food to the front of the hostel, malls every day eat noodles continue, today he wants to eat rice.
Nia invited Dewi, her housemate, down to buy food.
"Wi, what did you buy?" asked Nia while walking with the arm of the Goddess
"I want to eat Chicken Rice" replied the Goddess
"Yes, I'm the same" said Nia
They both walked towards the Chicken Rice tavern. Suddenly he felt bored with the tweets of guys who were sitting around in the Tea Tarik tavern, Nia glanced while trying to cue suddenly one of them called, Nia said,
"Sister..!"
Nia turned her head towards the voice in confusion, as well as Goddess, they did not know the boys
"Why?" ask Nia to them
"Sister at the flood ye." asked one of them again accompanied by the laughter of three other guys.
Nia and Dewi were increasingly confused, not understanding the meaning of the man's question. Nia and Goddess were silent.
"At home no more cloth to the brother" asked the other guy, followed by his friends again.
Not wanting to be troubled Nia immediately pulled the hand of the Goddess, immediately went away from the group of guys.
"Cowok-cowdy freak!" grouse Goddess,
"What does that mean! "
"I don't know Wi, I don't know either" replied Nia
"Udah justin."
Nia and Goddess passed from before the guys. Nia began to think something was strange, He felt that the people around the kebayan were like watching him, making him feel a little uncomfortable.
"What's wrong with me" muttered Nia,
"Why do those guys say that"
After getting the food ordered, Nia hurriedly took Dewi back to the Hostel because her stomach was not able to compromise.
18:30 hours. Nia leaves for the factory on an invitation bus.
Arriving at the Factory He immediately went up to the fourth floor where the Canteen was his favorite place and his friends to hang out while waiting for the change of Shift.
Nia sat at one of the tables while waiting for the other friends who had not yet come. They don't know where they used to be.
While sitting down he thought about the incident this afternoon, "what's wrong with me huh? those guys are weird!"
"Hi, why daydream?"
Nia was startled by the clap on her shoulder. Apparently Mimi's sister who just patted him.
"Takde Ka. takde pape" replied Nia.
Mimi then took a sitting position in front of Nia,
"Kampung Rindu?" ask Mimi again
"No, not camtu, but it was..."
"So you came out, what clothes did you wear?" ask Mimi
"T-shirt with shorts." answered Nia confusedly not understanding Mimi's intentions, Mimi chuckled
"Ooo! "
"Indeed why? asked Nia, still confused.
" Nia, people here are not familiar with such clothes, because they look at your face Malay face if their Cinese face does not tell a story! " answer Mimi at length
"When the time to come out, wear long pants, wear brackets again elegant." continued Mimi
Nia gaped, "Oh.. That's why" he murmured.
"Okay sister thanks for the advice" continued Nia
Mimi smiled, "Ok.lah, Akak go down first ye! I forgot that I had left kat locker" Mimi then moved from her seat.
Nia nodded "OK bye.."
Nia was pensive after Mimi. He just understood about the incident this afternoon, apparently his habit while in Indonesia, can not be applied here. Here the eastern custom is still strongly attached, Malay women are considered to be impolite out of the house just wearing shorts.
"Hissh.." Nia grumbled inwardly.
Nia smiled to herself. It turned out that there were still many things he had to learn here, just like the days before, He saw many strange gazes when he ate a table in the Canteen with friends - boy friends who are both Indonesian.
It turns out that here sitting one table in the cafeteria is only a couple. Whereas if in Indonesia it is not unusual to eat one table with friends. Here the men and women sit separately.
"Other fields are grasshoppers" turns out the saying is true.
Nia sipped her Milo Ice, the atmosphere of the canteen was still quiet.
In another corner in the male line was someone who was watching Nia from earlier while smiling knots. He was interested in Nia since he was still in Indonesia, not knowing why he liked Nia's indifferent attitude.
Nia got up from her seat while carrying her used Milo Ice glass and then walked towards the dirty laundry furniture in the canteen. After putting down his dirty glass he walked towards the elevator intending to wait for Shift's apprenticeship at his workplace, the report said.
Nia did not realize there was someone following her from behind. Nia stood waiting in front of the elevator door because the elevator position was still in the basement.
Nia looked back, she felt that there was someone behind her,
...
...
...*id...
"Hi.." said Nia, it turns out that his entourage is from Indonesia. Nia read the nametag on that guy's chest,
"Dan, what department are you?" Nia started a chat, the man named Ian smiled, saying,
"I'm in the Printing section, where are you?" Ian turned back on her
"QA" answered Nia short because the elevator door was open, Ian followed the girl into the elevator, in the elevator it was just the two of them.
"What floor?" nia asked after she stepped on the number three button, the QA room was on the third floor.
"Second floor" Ian replied.
"OK" Nia then presses the number two button
Before long, on the third floor the elevator door opened, "I'm first! " said Nia while walking out of the elevator
Ian nodded, He only knew Nia was working on the third floor when they were both one shift, but it was rare to meet let alone say hello like just now.
"Try to be able to talk longer" he grumbled inwardly
