PRETTY TEACHER WHO JUTEK
Asti Proposes to Become a Lecturer
Asti sat in a chair opposite her Mother, while her Father's position sat side by side with Mother. Asti's sitting position should be in the chair opposite his father, can be seen from the plate that has been filled with white rice was lying there when asti came. Because his sitting position was different he had to move the plate in front of him. Seeing the behavior of his Son the look on the face of the Father increasingly looks ferocious, like a lion ready to pounce on the food in front of him.
Until mid-dinner together, the only man in the house let out his voice.
“As...!”
“Yes Yah!” asti said in shock.
“Not yet Dad finished talking!”
“Iya sorry Daddy”
“So how was the explanation you promised yesterday?”
“Iya..”
“Iya yes! It's been the fourth day you don't talk at all, just stay in the room. If Dad hadn't pressured Mom to drag you this dinner shirt, wouldn't you have talked to Dad and Mom forever?”
“Not so Daddy”
“If not so, then how!”
Asti takes a clear glass that already contains water in it and drinks it a little.
“Iya.. My resignation from that company is the right attitude. I don't regret it even I'm so relieved Dad. If at this time I can still enter the territory I do not want to take that opportunity again. I can no longer work well there, my concentration has not led to work anymore”
Asti took back a glass of water and drank it, Father and Mother who were still silent heard he finished his explanation first. Asti still cannot reveal the true events and it is impossible for Asti to convey that. This matter is over now. But if he explains the true events of this problem will be a long process later, while Asti no longer wants to remember the incident.
“I also know exactly that I could not possibly protest or anything like that despite the feeling I could not accept such circumstances in that company now” explained Asti back. But the explanation he conveyed was completely incomprehensible by his Father and Mother because indeed the explanation was not connected, he spoke pieces.
“The attitude is like a person who has a company only, if the work has piled up he is good at being good with employees. But when employees ask for justice they are not heard at all. Even if the voice of justice is too loud, it can silence them by making them feel uncomfortable working in that place, until they come out with resignation instead of being fired. In short, Yah, Asti's conscience continues to rebel seeing such impropriety. Than to let him not protest nor can he? I better get out of that place, won't I?'' asti replied while looking at his Father's face.
With many examples and reasons that Asti then told to his Father and Mother, it was, it is better than being honest with the core of the real problem that is about the attitude of his superiors who harass his dignity as a Woman. Asti hopes that everything he said, can be received by his parents.
“It is so in the world of work, there are many types and behaviors of superiors and employees. But back again how we faced them” said the Father who seemed to begin to understand his position.
“Have not been discussed again. We are eating should not chat in front of food” said the Mother who was only silent earlier, closing the conversation about the resignation.
Father and Mother who seemed to have begun to accept the choice of the child, have now returned as before. Especially after seeing their daughter diligently looking for information about job vacancies. Everyone is starting to return to their own lives.
It did not take long, just two months after Asti resigned from his previous job he had obtained information about job vacancies as a lecturer at a well-known University in Jakarta. Fortunately, he met all the criteria of the requirements requested by the University. After Asti was called for an interview and waited a few days for the results of his acceptance he had received through the official email of the University. That's how Asti lived his life confidently and optimistically. Now he has started his new life as a teacher.
Asti is indeed a smart woman in the field of study. During his education, he became a Bachelor of Psychology. When his Bachelor of Psychology degree was behind his name, he added his knowledge by attending Philosophy at a Private College and managed to become a Bachelor again in the Indonesian Philosophy department, The Social Cultural Philosophy Study Program.
That was how Asti smiled while remembering those difficult times.
Now he has been a lecturer for two semesters. Towards the end of this semester, Asti is no longer too busy. Because it is finished making questions that will be questions students in the courses that he taught at the end of the semester exam later. To correct other final semester assignments, it will be completed to coincide with the date of the final semester exam. So when the exam is over he just corrects the results of the exam children who take the eyes of the lecture, after which he will have a long holiday.
He currently has about two weeks to relax, until the time to correct the tasks of the students arrives. Asti is a girl who does not like to waste time for free. He intended to use his time for the two weeks, to take the French course with hours of courses in the morning.
In the afternoon, he took time to take care of the mountain gardens in the yard of his parents' house. There is an art soul flowing in his body so that things that require a sense of beauty can be done very well. Asti feels very happy to be able to live life as he feels today. Compared to his previous employment.
Every day he had to get up early and go home in the afternoon, not to mention coupled with the traffic jam of Jakarta City, which made him get home late and tired. His mind had reached home just to take a shower and immediately rest, because tomorrow had to wake up again. Those were the days before, as boring as there was no art in his life.
Seriate…
