The Childish And The Beast
#31 Ants that Climb
“Abi,” Daffa opens coloring room.
Who else was he looking for other than the descendants of this older cousin of his. The rabbit in Abizar's hand seemed to be unable to remain silent. No different from Nanda who was constantly on the lookout for the creature not to take a thousand jumps.
“Pappa has arrived, come,” this assistant helps Abizar wrap his backpack, “Nanda, you also come.”
He doesn't even want to think anything. Tired in the middle of the day is really something.
They just walked down the room. Get to a more common room for guests. Daffa was able to take off the hand of this little boy who ran first into the waiting room.
The beautiful man greeted him after he stood up. His face was clear even though the two adults still needed to walk.
“Thanks, Daf,” this man spread a firm soft voice.
Daffa replied calmly, “Iya kak.”
Nanda was silent there. It's a different atmosphere. Their closeness and warm conversation are indeed packed firmly and maturity both. There was no smile, but he knew the two were close.
“Dia Nanda?” this man was aware of the existence of one more person.
Daffa push small Nanda, “Iya, her.”
“Thanks have taken care of Abi,” this man dropped Abizar, “White problem, I'm sorry.”
“No, brother, even fun chasing,” Nanda laughs sweetly.
This man grabbed his wallet in his pants pocket, “There's a little nih,” he stretched out some width that he folded and hid under his palm. Outstretched to Nanda.
“Lah, sis, no need,” Nanda shook her head, “Udah got from Daffa,” he smiled widely.
“This one is from me. Take.”
Nanda was silent for a moment. For a second he accepted the story. Accept the money with a big smile.
“Do not kapok ya kak,” Nanda still joking.
Of course with an extra gift from Daffa's elbow pressing on Nanda's shoulder. This guy can joke like that!
“Heh,” This man unexpectedly can still laugh a little. This guy put his wallet back. Grab Abi's hand, “Yuk, we go home.”
“Abi can buy food White no?”
“Bby,” the gentleness of this man poured out like anyone else, “Say thank you to om.”
“Please to Daffa. Thanks on Nanda.”
“Siap,” Nanda replied with her thumb.
The departure of the two men was left by these two Pancarona workers. The little family just left.
And Nanda started talking to Daffa, “Abi doesn't look like her papa.”
The gaze immediately stopped on Daffa, “Sama kak Fares means?”
“Oh, papa Abi is Brother Fares?”
“Sister Fares was his grandfather Abi.”
Nanda was silent for a moment. Digerna⏤
“Huh?!” surprised he's not a bitch, “But call him papa...”.
“Paap, dad. Call unfortunately Abi.”
“Well, your brother already has a grandson, why don't you have a child yet?”
“What is the relationship with the cave?!” Daffa was followed by Nanda's slang.
“Ye, right sister. Is Fares Berapeee?”
“Five three!”
“Buset! Near my mom!” Nanda was surprised even more.
The man he met did not appear to be more than three heads.
Daffa sighed. He started to walk to the elevator to the first floor. This OB is following Nanda.
Back Nanda with his coco, “So... Where are Abi's parents?”
“Deceased. Abi orphaned from birth.”
“Aa... whoaaat?” they entered the elevator and Nanda was still talking, “Abi knew it was her grandfather?”
“Udah.”
“Oh, good. Not kebayang if not said to be big like how.”
Daffa glanced at Nanda who was standing beside him, “Abi is stronger than you think.”
“Heh?”
“Something just... not as common as he...”.
“What?”
“Nothing.”
The confused Nanda chose to let the conversation dissolve. Even Nanda was not interested in the Daffa story. He was only curious about one thing.
“But it looks easy, big brother lu.”
“Nana?”
“Naan, na. Her grandmother Abi.”
Elevator door opens. Daffa tells him to leave Nanda.
Nanda is back on fire, “Emang why is Nanna the same?”
Daffa did not speak at all there. Looking towards Nanda.
He knew that this person would be even more curious if he started talking about it. Not many know, Daffa's brother-in-law was full of stories in his life. It's even a small part of that story.
Pat Nanda's shoulders, “Work,” go him.
“Lah. Why..spelled dong.”
“Work!”
“Save him.. hik.”
Nanda regretted what had just happened. That's very, very unfortunate.
“OB! Follow, you! Fast!”
But work time never lies to anyone. No second can be set aside just for unpaid thoughts. Just follow the superior who just passed it.
“Clean this!” this man named Danwar ordered without hesitation, “Why are you still here?! Already said out!”
“Pak, not me,” Ajeng his name, Nanda only knows him well. But he doesn't seem happy, “Not me rusakin, sir. Seriously.”
“Come now!”
Nanda tried to pick up a piece of cloth. Just to clean the ink that spilled around this big photocopying machine. But he is not silent.
Nanda says, “Why the hell? Why the photocopy?”
“Silence, kqmu! Finish your work!”
“Pak, please don't cut my salary. This is really not me who is damaged,” Ajeng is still trying hard to defend his rights.
Nanda discovers something that seems to be unfavorable to her friend. The hand works but not with his brain, eyes and ears.
“Who paid this if not you?!”
“But not me sir.”
“Silence, you!”
But no one can catch Nanda, “Ya, sir, can't dong like that. He said it wasn't him. Time of origin recuse.”
“Who are you telling me?! This is your boss!”
Tired of hearing such nonsense. Nanda's eyes turned around to respond, “It has nothing to do with it mah, sir. If you are wrong you can also be fired directly from Dira.”
“You have no more work than to order people?! Clean this up or just get out of Panca!”
“Father who rumbled from earlier.”
It had reached the crown of anger that was rising. Danwar is not a patient person to let one of these ants try to climb to the top of a tree that he himself is climbing.
Moreover, he heard of his closeness with the big boss. This self-informed person takes the back road. Can he bet, this time Nanda has fun with the money spent. This OB head must be getting bigger and not know yourself.
No other words explained it, Danwar's envy made him hate this child. Even just by looking at it, he wanted to curse her to the extent of humanity.
“Do your duty now! Don't mind people's business.”
Nanda, in order of emotions that do not differ much. His hatred for this father is not tame. He has worked here long enough. Knowing how dirty the nature of this thick-bodied father.
“If you carelessly same other work management, yes when I do not remember!”
Can't hold it anymore. This person he had already regarded as a bully that was degrading him. Danwar was completely controlled by his anger.
Ajeng knows very well this is not the best, “Nan, already. You don't have to..”
“What's brother? He's always the same office guy. No one protests anyway?” Nanda noticed the slow sea crowd watching them, “You really want to be quiet? This is a violation of his name!”
No one is blind to the situation. They just didn't give any response. Sharpness of reality a degree in the tree Pancarona. They are reluctant to deal with men who take care of their income.
And Ajeng knows, Nanda will get it after the elakan earlier, “Nanda, apologize now.”
“Create what? Come on guys, we got to⏤”
BYUR!
The sound of water falling to the floor. Throw a few drops straight into Nanda's shoes. The glass was also released falling down following.
“Clean!”
“Father cannot gini⏤”
“You want me to cut your salary?! Or want to get fired?!”
Nanda can be overconfident. It is indeed like the mind of the highest superior, if such a level has no meaning.
But work remains work, and subordinates must listen to their superiors. Plus the sneaky boss who has well kept his image in front of the boss. There is no right at all to Nanda's vote at the bottom.
These people knew, and they chose to retreat. Be, this father went with Ajeng. With Nanda with a pool of water that must be cleaned.
He doesn't know. It was too soon for him to feel defeated. In the future, he will be pursued by funds that are increasingly being cut just because his boss is angry.
