Sephias
First glance

Kuta Bali, 2019 at year-end.

In a shopping mall, a young girl with shoulder-length hair, with slightly narrowed eyes, fair skin, with a proportional body shape was observing some of the brands of soap and shampoo she used to use.

His eyes seemed to be looking for something, and finally got what he needed. Then back to the block where there are various types of food. Yes, the girl was happy to eat.

Sephia Anjani the girl's name. The 23-year-old girl, from Bogor, complained of fate to Bali because she was transferred from her Jakarta-based company. With all the advice of his parents then his blessing to wander also he got.

The company he worked for was an import furniture export company. One of the largest companies in Indonesia has a subsidiary in Bali. After completing her education, the girl got a job there based on recommendations from her former campus.

Only three months he was in Bali, the girl who had a slightly squinty eye shape was enjoying her life there. How not, living in Bali is the same as everyday is holiday. Go to work that is not in a hurry with traffic jams, home from work he must spend his afternoon enjoying the sunset by the beach.

After feeling enough with what he needed, he headed for the cashier table which was a little crowded. Trying to find a place that was a little quiet, he pushed his shopping trolley towards the cashier at the very end.

Fortunately the queue was not much, he immediately pushed his trolley into the cashier table before finally a young man preceded him.

"Eh," he said a little surprised.

"Sorry, I was standing in line behind this mother, but I just stayed for this nyari," said the black-eyed man with a height of about 180cm who showed a canned beverage in his hand.

Not wanting to argue, Sephia finally relented and allowed the man to make the transaction first. While waiting for the payment the man stole the look of the girl with the shape of a big nose.

Sometimes their eyes are reciprocated. Although the sunglasses were enough to block Sephia's vision to know who was behind it. The man threw his smile when the transaction he was doing was done.

What kind of meeting he thought, seeing his smile alone had made his heart beat. Sephia smiled faintly as she remembered it, waiting for an online taxi to take her back to where she lives now.

An online taxi stopped at a building with about ten door rooms, Sephia dropped off her groceries and thanked the driver. Opening the fence of the boarding house that he occupied. Lined a few cars and motorcycles belonging to the hostess.

Sephia's room is on top, the boarding house is mixed that means there are male and there are even women who have status as a married couple. To the right of Sephia's room was a DJ at a nightclub and to the left of Sephia's room a couple from Bandung worked at one of the retail companies in Bali. Gratitude Sephia, he was considered like a brother by them, probably because he was too young and had just come out to see the world for the first time, that was their term.

"Just come home, Phi?" nita is from Bandung.

"Yes, Tea ... here's the monthly shopping," he answered and grabbed the key to open the door.

"Oh, just payday like," said Rudi, Nita's husband who was wearing shoes.

"Yes, A." Sephia smiled knot.

"Yes, Phi .. we live yes, we usually want to go for a walk," said Nita struggling on her husband's arm.

Sephia just nodded then went inside her room. The room was quite large, there was only a 100x200 springbed, a wardrobe, a fan, a 24' television attached to the wall, and a bedside nightstand. Then in the room there is also a small kitchen, there is a stove one furnace for Sephia cooking, sink, and, a plate rack and a small condiment shelf and a mini-fridge that Sephia bought a month ago.

There is also a 1.5m x 2m bathroom. The average boarding room in Bali is like this. So it can be said like a studio type apartment but different sizes are smaller.

Sephia compiles her groceries, after which she cleans up and relaxes her tired body because of one daily work and then stop for monthly shopping.

...****************...

Friday morning, Sephia was prepared to wear a baby pink shirt paired with black pencil pants, high heels nude almost the same color as her legs white. Grabbing a leather totebag on her bed, Sephia came out of her room and locked her up.

"Sis sister, go ahead, yes" Sephia waved at him.

"Eh, Phi ... tomorrow liburkan? come with me later malem yuk to the club, it's always."

"Liat ntar aja Kak, ntar I told ... already late," said Sephia refused subtly, down the stairs and then ran a small to the online ojek waiting for him earlier.

The five-story building that has been familiar with Sephia the last three months also stands very sturdy. Sephia's smile expands with each passing staff, using the elevator to the third floor where she spends half a day of her life struggling with numbers.

"For Sephia" said Ardi, his partner. "Call your name, I feel immediately want to sing the old band's song," teased Ardi.

Sephia smiled in response, pulled up her chair, put down her bag and prepared to rewind the numbers.

"Which is my question, is it possible when you were born that song already exists, Phi? keep your parents inspired?" Ni Luh tries to analyze just as he analyzes the numbers every day.

"It could be, Mbok Luh .. I don't think of nanya to the same father's mother, either," Sephia threw back a smile at two of her co-workers.

"Magii ...." A fat woman, with glasses and thick lipstick rubs entered the room.

"Morning" said the three of them simultaneously.

"I got word after lunch, about two o'clock we go to the meeting room, so per division section is expected to attend," said Ibu Ratna as finance manager at Sephia division is located.

"There's an event?" ask Ardi to his boss.

"So far as I heard, he said the introduction of his son Mr. Hermawan who just returned from England was .. rumors will replace Pak Gede, Pak Gede early in the year retired," mother Ratna said then shook her fat body to the seat of her power.

"Even though Mr. Gede is very good yes, friendly again ..," said Ni Luh.

"You have to retire Luh, the retirement is still entrenched here .. why." Ardi.

"Yes also yes .. hopefully his successor even though the child who has a company is not arrogant and arrogant like the children of entrepreneurs in general deh," Ni Luh prayer is hopeful.

"Hopefully yes .. now I ask for your financial statements Ni Luh same Ardi, then Sephia tax management has you sorted out yesterday?" mama Ratna asked to start their day with work.

Sephia replied with a nod and stepped up carrying the file to Mother Ratna.
