The Fall of the Star
Chapter 34 Slowly Improving

The family economy is also getting better makes Ayudia can now save money from her salary with more. There are so many plans to participate in many charities that Elvira often hums against her. Unbeknownst to him, Elvira is apparently a charity activist on campus and she is also a member of charity fundraising activists in their own area. Basically, Elvira never expose her activities on the grounds that she wants to work in silence and without riya’.

From there Ayudia began to be interested in joining events held in these charities. Although the salary of the administrative staff is also not so big, but because it is still single and his parents also sometimes refuse to be given money by him, then Ayudia can set aside some of his income for the agenda.

Since then his life has started to improve in any way. His relationship with all friends was fairly good and familiar because now he has begun to be open to all. No longer maintaining his introverted attitude. Moreover, he also did not distinguish friends again while respecting each other's interests. So now his friends are many from various circles.

“Ayudia!” The call from the heavy baritone voice shocked the girl who was struggling with the data in the daily report to be recorded into the weekly data.

“Iya, Sir?” tanyanya when he saw Mr. Hartono approaching while carrying a pile of files in front of his cubicle.

“Bring this to Mr. Joni in his room. He is in need of help because his secretary did not enter today,” said the HRD kabag.

Ayudia was a little surprised why it was her duty but she embraced it because that was the fate of the subordinates. Must be willing to perform whatever task is given. Even though it is not on his job desk list in the signed employment agreement.

“Good, Sir.” While saying so, he went to Mr. Joni's room. He knows who Mr. Joni is. He was a quiet and super-assertive young man who headed the accounting department. He became the idol of several co-workers including Dewi because of his handsome face and athletic body even though Ayudia herself did not like him at all because of his cold attitude.

“Huh, why do I get it. Dewi should just let him be pleased,” grumbled Ayudia while walking towards the private room of Mr. Joni with a stack of files earlier.

In the corridor, he greeted several colleagues who met. “Where to?” greet a friend from another part.

“This, told to Mr. Joni,” Ayudia replied while putting on a grin as if he did not like the man named.

“Hihihi, it's your turn apparently,” a comment that seems to know something.

“Eh what does tuh mean?” ayudia asked immediately paused for a moment because her feeling felt bad.

“Pak Joni reportedly wanted to fire his secretary and again find a replacement from within. So some are called to be told. I think the selection is secretly so,” whispered his friend.

“Bussett! Males is so secretary to him!” ayudia accidentally. Made his friend laugh. Indeed, Mr. Joni is notoriously fierce and firm to employees so of course working together directly under his orders is certainly not an interesting thing to fight for.

“Enjoy, yes! Wkwkwk!” His friend rushed straight away from there after cheering Ayudia up with a veiled sneer.

“Sial! Why do I have my turn, too. Did I ask for a change of Goddess only time, yes.” Ayudia continued to grumble until she finally arrived at the front door of the room where even the walls greeted her so coldly. Just like the owner of the room.

“Huuft, bismillah ..” He said softly before finally knocking on the door three times and heard a short answer, “Suk!”

Ayudia turned the doorknob carefully and then waltzed in by straightening her body.

'God! Why so nervous like this, huh?' He thought silently as he continued to approach Mr. Joni's desk.

After he stood right in front of his desk, then Mr. Joni raised his face from the file he had been trying since and noticed a glimpse of Ayudia from top to bottom. Not polite at all.

“You're Pak Hartono's men?” ask the heavy voice.

“Betul, Sir. I am Ayudia,” Ayudia replied feeling the need to mention her name.

“OK, Ayudia. Show me the ability that your section chief praised me now!” the word of Mr. Joni that makes Ayudia's forehead wrinkled does not understand.

“Sorry, Sir. What touted ability, huh?” tanyanya did not understand because indeed the sentence of Mr. Joni according to him is very ambiguous.

The man had lowered his head back to look at the file before answering without looking at Ayudia.

“Pak Hartono says you're a mainstay there. You can complete the transfer tasks of former employees who leave without significant difficulties and according to deadline.”

Ayudia patted her own forehead as if regretting what Mr. Hartono said to Mr. Joni. It's a blunder once for him, like a weapon eat sir.

'Jeez.' Inner Ayudia.

“Why? Quickly work the file in your hand there!” Mr. Joni looked up again as he raised his chin towards a set of work tables and swivel chairs in a corner of the room that seemed to be a place for his usual secretaries to work.

After beating his saliva which seemed difficult to swallow, Ayudia finally assented and sat in the designated place and began flipping through the file from Mr. Hartono earlier.

He examined the files and he said it was a ready-made file and only signed by several related parties whose names and positions are listed at the end of the page.

“Sorry, Sir. This means I just need to ask for a signature, right?” Finally, he ventured to ask even though he actually hesitated and was afraid that he would get angry if his guess got wrong. Wanna how? He had no previous experience in the secretariat. Holy hooch!

“Check first if it is complete. Check in the original document file first in the existing folder. You find out for yourself where Rasty used to keep it because I didn't know about it. After checked and correct all complete then yes, you just ask for a signature.” The clue was thrown without looking at Ayudia. You cold guy like a refrigerator! Ayudia grumbled in her heart about the attitude of her superior.

“Good, Sir.” Ayudia agreed and immediately checked the secretary's laptop, apparently named Rasty, and checked some files in the recent document folder. It is traced one by one the file name that may be the same as the file that has been bound in front of it. It looks like this is indeed set to replace Rasty's performance, Geez, in Ayudia's heart hopes that he will not be elected later. Working with the refrigerator man is definitely not an interesting thing at all, he thought again. But of course he also does not want to do the orders that Mr. Joni gave because the risk will definitely be sprayed from the super fierce boss. Ogah!

Before long he had focused on doing what was in front of him. The silence in the room did not bother him. That is precisely what he needs when he has to focus on doing this new job once he has to do it.

Because of her focus, Ayudia did not feel when Mr. Joni several times looked at her and then threw his face away as if avoiding the temptation that greatly disturbed her concentration.

“You are silent because you already understand and can move it or silence because you resigned wrong?” asked Mr. Joni finally until some time waiting for him but Ayudia did not ask him any questions at all.

“Ehm, I .. I think it's right, sir. This I all check first everything and thank God the files all met easily in the recent document folder and so I can sort them out and move them to a separate folder so that it is not difficult to find them again later for that next,” answered Ayudia saying what she had done earlier.

Mr. Joni seemed to nod his head several times, seemingly agreeing to Ayudia's actions. In his heart he appreciates the trick the girl used. And began to admit that Mr. Hartono's assessment of Ayudia was deserved by the girl. Quite skilled and deft, the knot is entrenched although of course he is not that easy to throw praise to his subordinates. That's not how his personality is.

“Rapidly finish then immediately complete his signature and hand it over to me as quickly as you can. After that you can rest!’ tell Mr. Joni again as he got up from his chair and left the room.

“Ish! Really a refrigerator for people!” gerutu Ayudia when the fierce boss had fixed out of the room and the door was closed again.

Now he is so wrong because if his work is done as much as possible to finish quickly, then maybe he will actually be recruited as a substitute secretary named Rasty again. But if he makes it a little slow he is afraid of getting reprimanded which will somehow be as bad as Mr. Joni later. It was scary for Ayudia. Not being angry is so cold, especially when it is raging, thought Ayudia.

Finally, he finished his work as quickly as he could. He went to bring the files that had double the check to several superiors needed his signature then immediately returned to the room Mr. Joni to put it on the man's desk. I don't know where that guy went from there never showed up again.

Because there was nothing else to do, Ayudia finally just cleaned up Rasty's desk and checked the pile of files that were next to her desk. At least later if there is an impromptu command must submit what files and the original files in the folder where he does not need to be afraid to look for it again.

While arranging and checking one by one, he assesses the performance of Rasty fairly well structured. He must be the reliable secretary he should be. Then, why the reason Mr. Joni to want to fire him and look for a replacement. It's terrible if people are already this good performance but still have a gap of mistakes to be fired by Mr. Joni fierce, thought Ayudia assumed himself.

That's when Mr. Joni suddenly entered and went straight to his desk to check the work of Ayudia. Ayudia stiffened in her own seat as if she was waiting for a review from the judge.

'What is the approximate response from Mr. Joni later?' inner Ayudia was worried with cold hands.

Hopefully the results of his work are good until he is free not to be angry with him, Ayudia hoped in his heart. His hands were so nervous and he repeatedly had to wipe his forehead with tissue because of the cold dryness.

“Good. Which coffee?” ask Mr. Joni suddenly.

“Eh, Cop-coffee, Sir?” Ayudia asked repeating. Of course he did not know that making coffee was also included in his insistence job as a substitute for that day. Wasn't the order just to finish the file given by Mr. Hartono alone?

“Do not repeat my words if you have heard clearly. Quickly prepare my coffee. As usual, low fat sugar and use frappuccino cream,” said Mr. Joni regardless of Ayudia. The man then sat himself in his swivel chair and started fiddling with his phone while his back leaned back leisurely. Not caring at all about the confusion now faced by Ayudia who never once made coffee for the man or even any man before. Oh, my God, even his dad hasn't made coffee in all this time. Because so dear to her mother, Ayudia very rarely do homework.

While holding her heart, Ayudia finally stepped out to the pantry and asked for help from an office girl to make kpi exactly like the coffee that is usually ordered by Mr. Joni.

“But if Mr. Joni, usually made by Mbak Rasty himself, Mbak.” The office girl answered confusedly.

“Wow! How do I know what Rasty usually does?” Ayudia is back to grumbling now.

“Bantuin, dong mbak. Mr. Joni was advised to use low fat sugar and frappuccino cream, so doang anyway,” pinta Ayudia then who was finally supported by the two-haired office girl braided.

“Hopefully he likes, yes, Ma'am. This is already using low fat sugar and cream as Mbak said earlier,” said the office girl who handed a cup of coffee on top of the tray.

Ayudia nodded and thanked him and took him to the room of Mr. Joni while hoping to be anxious to fear that his coffee was not in accordance with taste.

'Ah, I don't know. Masa’ yes because it is wrong to make coffee later he got raged? Isn't that easy, it's a rampage to the subordinates?' he thought to calm himself.
