Shean & Jenny
New Plan
My decision is unanimous can not be challenged again, after a long time thinking about it I finally decided to quit my place to work as an office-boy. While there, it was not only bad things that I got but getting to know my two friends who were always good and always helpful when I needed to. Even so, with a heavy heart I have to get out of the job that I have been in for 2 years.
Since two months ago I have been talking about this to my boss, despite the rejection but I insist on quitting for various reasons. At the age of 24 I want to do something more important that I have prepared well in advance.
There is no doubt, there is only a burning spirit to realize a dream that since childhood was nurtured and cared for and this determination is not the basis of me alone, but there are other determination that encourage me to do so, determination on the seeker, the researcher from my ancestral lineage who reached me at this moment.
“Hello.. Shean you have no time tonight?” Jenny's voice was clearly heard from my phone.
“I'm cleaning up my business at the office, 8 o'clock I can go home” I replied.
“OK. if so later we meet at Antelope restaurant, later I share the address”.
After the incident 3 months ago, we became more familiar and often traveled together on weekends or when he was taking a leave of absence. Not infrequently he also plays at home carrying food or just stop by to divert tired after a busy day at the office, I do not mind as long as it can make him happy.
To be honest, the closer we got to the relationship, the more strong and reluctant we felt to be away from her, the day we didn't meet it felt like there was such a big longing. But I have to hold it back, I still think if the perfect figure is very far to reach.
I also have to tell Jenny that I'm no longer an office-boy and will continue S2 in archaeology following in my grandfather's footsteps, it's time for dinner and I can tell you the news and plans ahead.
After cleaning up all the tools, I went to the pantry and talked to Benny and Anton.
“Sorry yes guys.. If all this time I have been wrong, thank you for helping me a lot, I said, greeted by warm hugs from both of them.
“If there is a time to relax, then we will eat again bro.. Don't tell me without news!” Benny.
Before long Yudi also went into the pantry, although he was new but he respected me as his senior.
“Thank you very much mas, have taught me a lot” said yudi.
“Part yourself bro.. Kabinin if there is anything” continued Anton greeted with handshakes until finally I leave home and go from the mall area.
...----------------...
On the fork I turned right towards the southern city to where Jenny had pointed at the Antelope restaurant. Because it's jam clock, I also drive into the narrow alleys to avoid severe congestion.
This area is a culinary paradise consisting of class restaurants serving delicious dishes that only the bourgeoisie can taste, because a person like me would not dare to set foot here. Seeing the scenery in plain sight when looking at the restaurant building also makes goosebumps not to mention seeing a menu list that is equivalent to a month of food my salary as an office-boy.
I don't know what Jenny thought to have to invite me to a place like this, if not for her it would be impossible for me to come to a luxurious place that does not fit the budget contents of the wallet.
“I'm already outside, just go in what how ?” I called him to make sure I was in the restaurant he was referring to.
“Oh yes I see you, just come in” he said, from behind the glass door I saw him waving and he was with someone there.
After passing the restaurant security check I was escorted by the waiter to Jenny's desk, where she was with the old man, she smiled softly when I came, and invited her to sit down.
“Come please sit” Invite the old man.
“Thank you pak”. I replied then with a little hesitation, I could not guess who this man before me was.
“I Shean, greetings pak” I shook his hand he also introduced himself who I now know his name is Renaldy Azkara the famous palm oil businessman conglomerate from R.A Group.
While eating dishes, we talked casually about everything, but Mr. Renaldy told more about his beloved daughter, about his childhood also insinuated Jenny who did not want to bequeath her own father's business.
It felt so familiar with him even though I had just met him for the first time, it felt like I was with someone I had known for a long time and there was no awkwardness. Even he did not mention my appearance which is far from good to be able to enter this luxurious place, the three of us only focus on small talk and also dinner alone is nothing more than that.
“Nak Shean, forgive my son during this much trouble.”
“I say a lot thank you also you have to take care of it, if there is anything I need to help, Nak Shean do not hesitate, just say”. Maybe Jenny told me about her ex-boyfriend and myself who helped her a few months ago. I didn't think his father would come to thank me.
“Sama-sama sir, I only helped a little, and I was helped a lot by Jenny as long as we know”. My words were greeted with a smile from Mr. Renaldy, while Jenny he blushed not much to say.
“You are not too low like that” from his words I do not know what to say, this is the first time there are others judge me too low.
There is something else I want to talk to Jenny about, if today I quit my job as an office-boy, after talking about it Jenny was happy with the decision I took.
I further added that I will continue Study S2 in archaeology, I want to explore the profession of grandfather, more, and that's another thing that Jenny and I can't talk about in front of her dad.
“Rarely ever young people want to take majors like Archaeologi” said Mr. Renaldy.
“I want to continue the study of Archaeology because of my late grandfather, and I am interested in such things since childhood”.my answer gives the reason for interest in the world of archaeology and antiquities.
“Excellent Nak.. Where will you study?” tanyanya.
I also mentioned a well-known university in the Capital City whose entrance fees are not cheap, requiring entrance fees of hundreds of millions of rupiah. Therefore I worked hard to collect it to be able to enter Bakti Nusantara University (UBN) as a big step towards my profession later as an Archaeologist.
“Save your money as stock later, I will pay all fees during your study at university”. Hearing him talk about it shocked me.
I haven't had time to refute his talk, he hinted to listen to his explanation first. At that time I could only keep quiet carefully listening to the offer from Jenny's father.
The full scholarship offer from him was given if I wanted to work in a subsidiary of R.A Group in Central Jakarta City and would still get a monthly salary normally like ordinary employees. In my heart I agreed because it must be realistic considering the money I have is only enough for the entrance fee, after that the money will run out and I need a job for my daily survival.
“Thank God.. You can continue your project with Shean.” Jenny just spoke up, and invited suspicion from her father.
“Wah.. What project, try tell me”.
“Oh.. Uh no sir, just a study of ancient sites that I'm researching, as material for my scientific work later after entering the university". I replied a little hesitating because it was impossible to tell about the treasure map of my ancestors.
The conversation continued until the evening before 10 without feeling like two hours had passed and Mr. Renaldy would return to the hotel where he was staying and go home the next morning.
After saying goodbye, he went with Jenny and his personal aide Mr. Renaldy to the hotel. I drove them to the parking lot and after being away from sight, I also went home.
