The Colorful Work World
Ch 73 After New Year, Banu Moved

Remembering what happened the last year. Start from quitting to become a teacher and enter as a programmer. Then go through the days like any other office employee. Every morning I go to work and then I go home to Maghrib. The memory is even though there are bad, but there are also beautiful moments that occur.

Unfortunately, at the end of this year I experienced a pretty bad event instead of the turn of the year happy to be happy because I could have a year-end holiday. The flood disaster I got. Besides the phone I brought in my bag for the new year. All the electronics and books in the contract disappeared due to the flood. Most of the books I put on the floor.

As a result, many of them were not saved. Plus the comic books I have are all soft cover models. So it will not be drained. Although they were dry, they could no longer be read as usual. I don't know what to do with a book like that.

Not only that, all the clothes in the lower closet were also affected. Finally, today I only have one shirt, then the shirt to go is not there. Inevitably, I immediately called Mr. Rawan.

*Tuut Tuut\, krek* “Halo?” Exit Mr. Rawan's voice from the end of the phone.

“Morning sir, it's Ray. I just want permission sir today can not enter because of the flood, all his clothes are flat wet all.”

“Oh yes, gpp. I'll tell Mr. Randy in the office.”

“Thank you sir.”

“Sama-sama”

I hung up the phone and then moved to do something today. Because I have no clothes, even if I want to go, I only use clothes that I used to wear during the new year yesterday. Because there is absolutely no shirt shirt or the like that is suitable to be worn out of the house.

Although I can buy new clothes, but the feeling when wearing new clothes is very uncomfortable. Because we do not know the clothes on the store shelf that has been held by anyone, as well as what germs have been attached to the shirt.

It is safer and more comfortable to wash all new clothes first. To be cleaner too. I took all my dirty clothes and started washing them in the bathroom. It is easier to wash near water sources. My contract takes groundwater so it rarely has water difficulties. I'm very lucky that I rarely have any water difficulties while living in this rental.

One by one the dirty clothes filled with mud I washed with both hands. It is tiring, but this is the fate of bachelors who have to wash themselves without anyone helping. If you do not want to be tired of holiness, you can choose for laundry. But I think personal laundry money is a pity if only a little clothes. More efficient washing yourself, although it is a bit tired.

After washing, I also checked the condition of the book being dried. There seems to be no change, the comic book is not dry and every night is unreadable.Goodbye my comiku that I have not been able to read, I have not read, maybe it's not time for you to read it physically.

Because I am ashamed to hang it blatantly, I sun it on the inside of the contract which is directly exposed to the sun, but does not work. Many of the methods that exist on the internet for sunning books are all unapplicable to comics. The cover is still soft.

Then I found a place to service the laptop. Because it can not be used this laptop at all. Stupid me, when yesterday died I had time to turn on the laptop with the laptop condition still wet. Then I plug it directly into the electricity and I turn it on. As a result, my laptop has been damaged forever. Although after this I tried to get back and forth to fix it. Nothing will work because of what I did. It does not seem like his solution to use a good laptop like this.

It is also wrong that I did not check information on how to cope with electronic equipment when it was flooded. As a result, all electronic items in the contract can not be used. If calculated roughly, I have lost tens of millions in this flood event. But who can I ask for compensation? I can only give up and accept this incident. I can only hope that someone will replace it with a better one.

I can't blame Zul because he's late. Even though I think it has a point. But I am sure that God's plan is better. Man can only carry out a plan, granted or not, it is all the will of the Almighty. When I remembered that, my sadness at losing my laptop was somewhat reduced. Although it is certainly sad to not be able to play games on a laptop anymore.

After doing homework, I finally took a break while making plans for the next few days. Especially when the weekend comes. Most likely I will attend the wedding of my friend who is in Bandung. This opportunity is quite rare because I can finally go out of town, I rarely do this. The last time I was out of town was at my other friend's wedding.

The journey there is quite exciting too, maybe I will also tell it at a later time. For this time, I was finally able to rest in peace after yesterday tired of clearing the impact of the annual flood the other day. It feels like the body is tired after cleaning things after being exposed to flooding.

*The next day*

Luckily, I was able to get to the office as usual and work as usual. Surely I vent about the problem of flooding to my office friend. Because they are more experienced, mas Banu himself often experience it while living in Bekasi first. I learned a lot from him about what to do in a flood. The results of searching on the internet are not necessarily all true, the direct experience of others like this is more valuable.

That's why when I went home, I immediately threw away all unsafe items consumed such as rice, eggs, and instant noodles that had holes. Water could get into the packaging. For packaged food that is tightly sealed, I do not throw it away but I will soon spend it in the near future.

I can still play games together with Banu because my phone was not damaged by the flood. Earlier this year, I satisfied myself playing with Banu because he will be out of the office where I work now.

When I first heard this, I was quite shocked and confused. Why he chose to move to work when he only worked here for 6 months. In that short enough time, I felt quite familiar with this person because we both liked playing games. Even though the game he played was actually not the one I liked. Playing it became quite exciting because we played together.

When I asked, the main reason was because of the lack of work. Indeed, I was afraid of him from the beginning to enter here. Because as far as I know, the task of making software does not require too many people. Pak Sabar needs more help because Mr. Triyono who should help him, difficult to work with.

I was surprised because not everyone's dream for work is not much but still paid. But later, I realized that it wasn't good either. Because in the end, it makes my ability blunt if not often sharpened. Unfortunately I realized it quite late that it resulted in a huge impact in the future.

Back to Banu. Last month he worked here. We became more and more familiar and often went to lunch together. Before, we never did. That's because at lunch time, I usually pray while he directly eats lunch. Because we have a different religion.

But that didn't stop us from eating together the last month. I became more and more aware of the figure of a man two years older than me. Quite amazed actually I with Banu, because with his young age. His work experience is enough.

I learned a lot from hearing Banu's story. About how to deal with a strange boss. Good work ethic, and so on. I will definitely miss seeing his dashing and tall figure every time I go to the office. I remember when we were not so familiar at first. Games are what turned our relationship into friends.

*Banu's day of moving job*

Not felt today has arrived, Banu will move from our office. In the morning we worked as usual. But when the hour came home from work, Banu immediately went to one of the restaurants to buy pizza as a gift to us. He said this is one of the habits that usually occur when there are employees who move to work.

I learned something new today. The pizza he bought was somehow more delicious than usual. Apart from being free, Banu knows how to choose a good pizza menu. Satisfied we ate together, finally we had enough long conversations until the time came home from work. When Bona said goodbye, I was quite sad but believed that every meeting must be a farewell. We have to be ready to accept it whenever it happens.

“...That's enough, let's go home”

After seeing Banu go far away, I finally went home and went through the usual activities for the next day. Goodbye Banu, I hope we meet again.
