Dimas also followed the advice of Khalis to survive even though his heart was not in line. In the first month, he was quite overwhelmed with Arfan's performance, because in addition to often arriving late, he also often missed the workshop reports, because he was more focused on sales. While when Khalis took office, the two went hand in hand, none of them took precedence.
"Sir, tomorrow morning schedule a visit to the Solo branch. What time do we leave here, sir?" ask Dimas.
"I have sent e-mail there, so they send their reports via e-mail only, so tomorrow we do not need to go to Solo," replied Arfan.
Dimas scrunched his forehead, a sign that he was questioning the performance of his new manager.
"I know what you're thinking, why don't I go straight to the Solo branch? Why is my way of working so different from Khalis? I know, because every time I meet people who have worked with Khalis, I have to question how I work."
Dimas can only swallow his saliva, because it turns out Arfan can read his mind.
"Look, Khalis and I entered the company at the same time, but we got different training. Khalis was more fortunate than me because his brain was more brilliant plus his strong character and dominated anyone, so he was often sent to train in Japan and Korea, he even got training bonuses to Germany and England. That's what makes the way it works so clean and tidy as Westerners do, but sometimes it's quite a hassle to yourself. As for me, typical Indonesian people who are relaxed, as long as it does not hamper the overall performance, yes for what is excessive busy. So, if it can be done online why offline?" arfan is obviously at length.
But Arfan's explanation did not satisfy Dimas, so he argued subtly, "But sir, the direct visit should still be carried out, because it is part of the SOP."
"That's right, direct visits also still have to be made, but they don't always have to be scheduled or at the same time" Arfan replied.
"Pak Khalis also often conducts sudden inspections outside his work schedule, but the schedule of visits is always done" said Dimas again.
"I know, I've read all the reports that Khalis is working on. I also know all his plans for each branch under him, because we had discussed them before he moved. But, I'll do it in my way, my plan. You take it easy, just follow the way I work," said Arfan who then ended his conversation with Dimas.
Dimas realized that different people would have different leadership styles. Managers before Khalis, have a way of working that is also much different from Khalis and Arfan. Even so, all operational targets launched, successfully completed well.
For that, he as an assistant, just follow the orders of the manager.
"Dim, please check all the workshop operational files that have just been sent from the Solo branch" Arfan ordered.
"Well, sir," replied Dimas who hastened back to his desk.
He immediately opened the newly sent file. He also did a detailed check of each item recorded and compared it with last week's records. He also controlled via phone by contacting the head of the Solo branch workshop.
"Sir, please photographed all spare parts items that must be replaced and purchased, as well as vehicles that are currently being serviced. I wait."
File report by report was matched with the actual photos sent. This also makes Dimas work in more detail, to avoid mistakes or fraud that occurs.
Not feeling he had been for hours in front of his computer, his neck began to feel stiff. He also stretched the muscles on his chair. Then he looked at the clock in his hand.
"It's 11:30, rest soon. What else is Ade doing?" he said in his heart.
He also made a video call.
"Assalamu'alaikum, lhooo De, how come you don't look?"
"Wa'alaikumsalam, I don't wear a hijab, males take it to stand, I'm again falling fashion on," replied Rahma casually who made Dimas laugh.
"Hmmm, brother relapsed," said Rahma while pointing her camera phone towards her toes that had been seen rounded from normal size due to her pregnancy which had entered the sixth month, which made Dimas laugh again.
"Thank you De, tired brother immediately disappeared," said Dimas gently.
"Massammaa," replied Rahma.
"Oiya, what's lunch? Ade cook what? or mager mode on full day?" ask Dimas.
"The bingo! The attendant was Bang, who immediately, I waited," Rahma replied casually which made Dimas shake his head.
"Hmmm mager mode on plus spoiled was united. All right, wait for the lunch delivery from my beloved brother who is the most handsome beat...,"
"What to defeat! Ribet is narcissistic!" cut Rahma.
"Alright honey bunny, brother pesenin food now. Wait, love you."
"Love you too" Rahma replied, turning off her video link.
Dimas immediately ordered food typical of the country of white elephants, Thailand for Rahma.
30 Minutes later, Dimas received a photo from Rahma, which showed a bowl of gong tom, mango salad, pad thai and iced mango.
"The lunchy is ready, happy tummy is on the way. Thank you, Bang. I love you!!" rahma wrote in the caption.
"Love you too, Babe. Enjoy your lunch. Oiya, you buy all of us for dinner later together, yes," replied Dimas.
"Yes, Bang. I've been in the fridge, so it's safe. Brother also do not forget his lunch," replied Rahma.
"Otw De. Met lunch, yes. Love you, see you," said Dimas.
The tiredness was gone instantly, after Dimas saw his loved ones.
"It's true people say, having a partner is indeed very happy," said Dimas in his heart with a smile.
Adhan dzuhur was heard, Dimas immediately turned off his computer and moved towards the mosque near his office.
When he finished praying, he said, "O Allah is the All-Knowing, the All-Knowing, I leave all my business to You, O Allah. I have entrusted the beloved of my heart and the fetus it contains to You, O Allah. Take care of them."
At the same time, Rahma who finished praying dzuhur also said, "O Allah, Most Merciful, bestow Your love on our little family. Give your love to both of us. Protect Brother at every step, guard my prince in every move."
After that, Rahma began to open her lunch menu. Without realizing it, he shed tears.
"Why am I crying? Aaaa how I cry, aaaa I become soft," cried Rahma broke.
