THE LOVE OF ALKA
18

Amina put down her work equipment and walked to the locker where she kept her personal belongings.

The state of the office has been very quiet because indeed everyone has gone home even his shift friend's friend has left him first. Amina gets the day shift so it requires her to go home at the very end.

Amina took her purse out of the locker and walked out of the office.

"New out Neng." greet the office security guard who is still standing in front.

"Yes, sir, yes sir" replied Amina politely passing the security guard who was so friendly to her.

"Yes, heart of heart."

Amina came out of the office building where she worked as a cleaning service, Amina only worked as a cleaning service because she was only a High School graduate and it was very difficult to find a job if only a graduate school. Even so Amina remains grateful for working and has enough income for herself and her mother so that her mother does not need to work anymore.

Before reaching the rented house, Amina stopped by the stall that was still open to buy dinner side dishes.

"When Mom is cooking" said Surti when he saw his daughter coming home with a side dish.

"Kan Mina has said that I am relaxed at home do not need to bother cooking." reply Amina considering her mother's health is declining at the end of this.

Surti smiled, "Just cook the vegetables because mom wants to."

"Well, Mina bought fried fish so it's fitting to eat the same as an asem vegetable." replied Amina with a smile fluffy.

"You take a shower first let me prepare the food" said Surti who was immediately embraced by Amina.

Amina just finished taking a shower and having dinner with her mother.

"Where's your job?" surti asked almost every night to ask Amina.

"Current kok Bu, the cement is also better with Mina."

"Thank God then."

Surti was silent as if he was thinking about something,

"Mother why? Is anyone sick?" ask Amina suspiciously.

"No, I just feel sorry for you."

Amina frowned in surprise, "Amina is good at kok Bu."

Surti smiled, "If Mom is not around, you can even work together with the college, you do not have to bother taking care of Mom" said Surti to make Amina stop her bribe.

"What do you say, if you don't have the same Amina trus as who?" amina's teary eyes held back tears because at the end of this time her mother often said such things.

"But at least you don't have a burden."

"Mother is not a burden to Amina but the spirit of Amina. If you don't have Amina, you probably won't be working anymore."

Surti smiled, "You should keep the spirit of reaching your mind Amina, didn't you say you wanted to be a Doctor?"

Amina smiled wryly, "That's what Amina was like as a child, now Amina doesn't even want anymore. Amina just wants a healthy mother to be able to nemenin Amina continues." said Amina who was only touched by Surti.

After dinner, Amina went into her room to rest but she could not close her eyes.

Amina chose to play her phone and open her whatsapp grub.

"New owner?" muttered Amina read a message from her coworkers discussing about the new owner of PT Diamond.

"Hopefully it's not the boss that sucks." muttered Amina again then turned off her phone and she immediately went to sleep.

...****************...

This morning Alka was so excited to go to the office. Even before dawn he was awake and ready.

"Are you sure you're leaving so early?" juan asked who had just come to Alka's house because they were going to leave together.

"Yes of course, today there is a welcome for me so I must not be late." replied Alka who only made Juan gawking in disbelief because Alka was not usually like that.

Alka arrived at the office and sure enough he was immediately welcomed by all employees of PT Diamond. Alka saw one by one the faces of her masterpiece and none of them resembled Amina.

"Where's the girl?" inner Alka.

His intention was that Alka wanted to surprise Amina, but she did not find Amina.

"Welcome to PT Diamond sir, hopefully with the presence of the Father can make the company more advanced" said Raka, one of the managers at PT Diamond.

"If you need anything, just tell me, sir."

Alka nodded in understanding. He was in his room with Juan.

"Are you sure about this?" ask Juan.

"What do you mean?"

"Yes we bought a small company that probably won't be profitable." Juan replied.

"You underestimate something too much, we'll see. I'm sure I can make this company go forward."

Juan nodded in agreement, "I'm sure Mister can."

Alka clucked, "So you underestimated and now even cheered, what do you really want?"

Juan smiled showing his teeth, "Just talk to you, because it feels strange not to talk to you" said Juan and laughed.

"Where to go to your room instead of bothering me!"

"Every Master" said Juan while respecting Alka.

Alka smiled as she shook her head looking at Juan's always nosy behavior towards her.

Not long after, Raka entered Alka's room carrying some files,

"This is a glimpse of our company sir" said Raka put the file on the desk.

"Yes I will read it after this." replied Alka who was still busy staring at the laptop screen.

Raka just wanted to get out but Alka's voice stopped her steps,

"Are there any employees who didn't get in today?"

Raka turned back closer, "No sir, everyone's in."

"Are you sure?"

Raka nodded, "Some of the employees in the cleaning service department are in the afternoon maybe they will come."

"That's so." Alka nodded her head in understanding, She now knew that maybe Amina would enter during the day.

"Is there anything else you want to ask?"

"Who's taking care of the cleanliness in this room?" ask Alka.

Raka smiled, "Head cleaning service that usually intervenes to clean the room Mr."

Alka clucked, "Replace, I want another."

Raka looked to frown, "Alright I'll replace it sir."

"I want a new, young boy to clean this place up." - Pinta Alka.

"Alright sir." said Raka then exit.

Alka smiled in relief, "She should know who I mean, the new and young child is of course Amina. I will give a surprise to the naughty girl." muttered Alka and then returned a big smile.

Alka refocused on her work but still she could not focus because she was impatient to meet Amina.

Alka called Raka, "Take the cleaning service I meant to bring coffee." pinta Alka then hung up.

Alka smiled impatiently at the door open and before long it opened, Alka turned around for Amina to enter first.

"The coffee is sir.." a girl's voice was heard but Alka felt strange because it sounded coquettish in contrast to Amina's meek voice.

Alka turned around and it turned out...

Not Amina.

Seriate...
