Sekar & Raja Phinisi
New Job

In the bathroom, Sekar flushed his body with warm water. His body shivered a little because of the cold sea water.

While Sekar was bathing, the King put a mesh on the back deck to catch fish. The king ran his ship so that there would be fish netted in his net.

The king runs his yacht in the opposite direction from his private island. The king was supposed to take a right, but he instead pointed his yacht to the left. He circled around the island of Bawah, or better known to foreign tourists by the name of Under Island.

There the King saw some of his Phinis Ships that were stopping in the middle of the sea. It's possible that the guests want to enjoy diving in the waters of the Lower Island, so thought the King. After 15 minutes around Pulau Bawah, the King checked his net. There are many types of fish in the net. The king began to take some fish and put them in the bucket.

Sekar, who had changed his clothes and dried his hair, began to climb onto the deck in search of the King. The king was busy preparing a barbecue grill for the barbeque.

“Mas..” Sekar walks towards King. “Can I help?” ask Sekar by paying attention to the fish in the bucket.

“You can?” ask the King while turning on the electric grill.

“Can. Here let me give you some spice. The king took a bath there. Does the king like spicy seasonings? Sweetie? Or sweet spicy? Let's finish the shower we can eat together.” said Sekar with a smile. I don't know why he felt so strange about his own words. Like expecting a meal with the King.

“Ok. I take a shower first. Don't be gosong,” said the King as he rubbed Sekar's head.

The king immediately went to the bathroom to clean himself up. While Sekar began to get busy with his fish. Somehow he wanted to give his best cooking results for the King. He tasted the seasoning he prepared many times before grilling the fish earlier. Sekar also decorate the plate with vegetables in the kitchen.

After everything was laid out on the dining table, Sekar headed for the room on the ground floor. The room is locked. Little did he hear the King's vague voice. Surely the King is talking to people via mobile phone.

“Where, Ben?... Mona moved her finger?... Is he fully aware?”

That is what Sekar heard. Sekar's feeling turned into hearing the King's words. Sekar rushed up to the middle deck after feeling the King was about to open the door of the room. Sekar stood pecking near the dining table that has been neatly arranged with his cooking.

He saw the King walking a little quickly to the place to drive the yacht. He then ventured to approach the king.

“Mas, we don't eat first?” ask a little doubt.

“I don't eat. You are the only one who eats,” replied the King while taking a cigarette.

The king started to light his yacht. Sekar began to stay away from the King because the King seemed to not care about his existence. Sekar looked at the King's back from the dining table.

Sekar tried to shake off his feelings that felt eliminated. He preoccupies himself with enjoying his own cooking.

Bodo! He eats no food, it's none of my business! I'm a laper, I eat by myself. Gerutu Sekar in his mind.

The king was increasingly speeding up his yacht. The king was not aware that the shock on his ship was disturbing Sekar who was enjoying a roasted fish. Fingers Sekar until bleeding exposed to fish spines.

“Aw!” rintih Sekar's. He began to stop his eating. Just put all his cooking in the kitchen drawer. The appetite disappears instantly. The shaking of the yacht made her stomach also nauseous. Sekar started walking to feel the yacht wall to go to the back deck.

The king forgot about Sekar who was with him. Sekar holds the pole on the back deck firmly. He did not want to approach the king. There was a strange feeling after hearing the King's talk in the room earlier.

After about half an hour in the yacht, they finally arrived at the King's private island. There are many people wearing t-shirts that read ‘King Phinis’. It was definitely the King's employee.

Amongst those many there was one who Sekar knew. He is a 90 90 man named Ben.

“Good afternoon, king! Hi Sekar!” said Ben while giving a roll of cold cloth to wipe his face.

“Good afternoon, Brother Ben!” sekar said while bowing his body.

The king just left Sekar. Sekar did not care about the cold attitude of the King.

“Kak Ben, how are you?” ask Sekar while pulling his suitcase.

“Good, deck. Yuk, I take you to the room,” take Ben by holding Sekar.

Sekar, who was still seasick, walked after Ben. Ben looks very welcome with the arrival of Sekar. Ben lifts Sekar's suitcase to the buggy and starts driving the buggy to Sekar's room.

The place was cold in the afternoon. Many coconut trees dot the island.

“Kak Ben, how long has it been working here?” ask when you are in the buggy.

“Em... It's been a long time, 10 years there may be,” Ben replied while driving the buggy. “ Ow ya.. Si Lia temen you just gave your bank data yesterday. So I just transferred your salary this morning. Sorry yes,” says Ben makes Sekar happy.

“Iya. By the way, I'm from Lia you're good at cello huh? If you want to. You move a part of entertainment on a phinisi ship. Pretty much his salary. We can give you a 1-year contract first if you are interested,” Ben explained.

Sekar who is looking for a permanent job is like accepting a collapsed durian. When else can I get a contract job.

“Wah. I want to,” said Sekar excitedly.

“Ok deh if so, ntar malem I picked you up yes make to meet Pak Ansu,” said Ben.

“Pak Ansu? Who is he?”

“He's his father mas Raja and bang El. He will ngetes how you play cello,” replied Ben while parking the buggy. “Yuk down! Tuh your accommodation,” said Ben while pointing to the small villa-shaped inn.

Ben started dropping off the suitcase. They walked into the villa that Sekar would live in.

“Sekar, I cus first yes. There's still a lot of work. Ntar malem we met yes.. Bye..” said Ben waved and headed for the buggy.

“See you later, sis!” Just wave my hand. (See you later, brother)

After Ben left, Sekar began to enter his village. Sekar observed the contents of the villa full of amazement. There is one large bed, a bathroom complete with buth ups and a mini kitchen whose roof is half open. He could only shake his head. Having only once set foot on the island, he had already obtained a new job. Just the lucky words he felt at this moment.

“Huft. What dream did I have last night to get a windfall? Hihii...” Sekar said as he laid his body on the bed. “How are you doing people at home? Call ah...” said Sekar while reaching for his phone.

Tut…

“Hallo nduk?” answer sir Ram.

“Dad………! Hihiiii..” said Sekar screeched slightly.

“Weleh? Kanapa you? Make a hanger, wae loh!” said Sekar's father.

“Hihi. I know not, Sekar dapet new job loh...” Sekar started rolling on his bed.

“What work? Where?” ask Ram vigorously.

“In King Phinisi. But the entertainment section,” replied Sekar with a smile.

“Enter? Opo kui?” Park Ram did not understand Sekar's words. (What is it)

“That's a lot yeah.. part entertain guest...”.

“Ha?! GUEST ENTERTAINER?! Whoring..?”

“BUKANNNN!” They had to scream. “Not a whore, dad…! Entertainment's. Sekar asked to play cellOO,” said Sekar by pressing the word ‘Cello’.

“Ow... the obvious dong by the way!”

“Iya.. yes...” Sekar must give up when arguing with his father. Can spread increasingly misunderstand if it continues.

“Yes thank goodness that's it. Dad was happy. I can show off to the next door neighbor. Haha! The more days the more difficult Mr. Ali. This morning he went to the cake shop we just wanted to show off his son who wants to marry?! Gnasheli! New tonggo kok koyo ngono?!” said Mr. Ram a little sewot. (It sucks! Is the new neighbor rich?!)

“Let's go, yeah. Ntar high blood dad up again loh.”

“Iyo iyo…! Yes, yes, nduk. There are many more buyers. Tomorrow is connected again,” said Mr. Ram before ending the call.
