The Second Woman's Regret
Let's Step!

"How are you, Tira?" ask Mr. Saka, when I just came. He looked at me with a question mark. "Are you okay? If you still feel not good or still not comfortable, you can rest first. No need to go in is okay. I can handle everything myself." Mr. Saka forced a smile.

"I'm fine, sir." I said. "After all, are you sure you can handle yourself?" I looked at him, looking for the truth of his words. "Rpa ... Sir, we're a team. You have stated that you rely on me for this project, then when everything is in sight, how can I release it. I know you really want a goal after failing so many times. Now that I'm on your side, then will you give up this chance to win?" I said. "Regarding personal matters, I will study professionally, sir. I will separate with work. Now I won't mix it up." I said. Not wanting to speak at length, I immediately took out proposals and files for tomorrow's activities where we would meet with the old company I worked for. Tomorrow, is the time when I will be dealing with my manager. I am very sure that will go forward to represent the company because until now my position is still empty. I know from the information I've gathered. Indeed, until now I have not been able to release the company, I am still finding out about them. Not only because I have a grudge against some of the people who are there, but because they will also be my toughest rivals.

"Yesterday you said you hired me just because of this face, but all this time I was the one you were pawns to win projects. Really don't know thank you. Now I'll prove, who's just a decoration, who's brain is empty. Me or you!" I said in my heart.

I didn't sleep last night, I was busy preparing for everything. This morning, just the two of us with Mr. Saka, we headed towards the building where the competitors were gathered. Seeing the arrival of me and Mr. Saka, as I thought, Mr. Robin and his entourage laughed at us.

"What a sad fate you Tira. From large companies now instead join to ... Is that his name? the firm? How could you possibly call it a company because you're just the two of you!" robin's laughter sounded like the coals that were making me hot.

"Whatever the person is not important, what matters is the quality. Than many who came but like a circus troupe, working only one man." I attacked back.

"What do you mean by a circus troupe?" mr. Robin looks upset.

"You forgot or you're already amnesic. All this time, if there is a project like this, I am always moving forward. You guys .. one, two, three and all just spectators, right? Come just to enliven. But not work. Lose only you guys, I'm pretty sure I can win this tender because I know you're empty!" I avenge them. But in my heart said istighfar repeatedly, afraid that what I said earlier is a form of arrogance even though it is actually true that when working there only I work. The others just take it right.

Not wanting to go too far, I passed. Following Mr. Saka who has got our company. I sat right next to him, listening to those who changed presentations.

"You look at them all right, Ra. Watch not to let your guard down. You should be able to perform better and reassure!" Firmly Mr. Saka.

"Yes, God willing." answered me, who paid little attention to my message.

"Tira, you heard me, right?" mr. Saka almost glared because now I am busy with HP.

"Yes sir, I know." I nodded.

It turned out that the one who came forward was not Mr. Robin and his ladies. But Hito himself. I'm quite surprised because this is the first time a GM has intervened directly. But it's okay, it's more fun if he performs. I listened carefully, looking for a gap to be able to defeat them.

Mr. Saka signaled for me to go forward. But I didn't stand up right away, making sure my opponents were watching me. Seeing them gathered, I went forward.

I changed that presentation. Surely it was only a conspiracy of seconds before the performance, taking the weaknesses of the old company where I worked. I did it so perfectly that it made the jury stand up and applaud. After my task was done, I walked back to the seat with a rest.

"You really made my heart almost fall" whispered Mr. Saka.

"Huh, why? did I make a mistake?" I asked, whispering back.

"You changed everything. It's really surprising, Tira!".

I chuckle. "Did you not pay attention to my former company? Their presentation is ninety-nine percent similar to what we've designed. If I keep reading it then we'll lose."

"Why is that?"

"Ckckckk, why don't you get it. It seems we are in the wrong position, I deserve to be the boss, not the father." I said, marking Mr. Saka who was immediately upset. I chuckled back. "Our company has no experience, this is the first time. While our opponent always wins this project. The file they were using was the same file that I created yesterday. It is definitely a goal because it has also won before. That's why I changed to stop him. As the person who made it I was very sure I could come up against it this way because I know the weaknesses best." I said. Mr. Saka nodded. "Now you see them, looking agitated, right? Because they knew they would lose." again Mr. Saka nodded.

As I thought, we won. Mr. Saka seemed satisfied, because finally his ideals were fulfilled as well. I myself feel happy because I can prove to the old people that I am not just a decoration. I'm not an empty officer relying on faces. I have quality too!

"How come gentlemen, who's empty who's filled?" I dare to confront Mr. Robin and Mr. Hito. They looked in wonder, I was getting happier. "Oh yes, GM sir, next time if you only fight alone it is better to cut off useless employees like your manager. A manager doesn't know how to make a good proposal. Or maybe all the work he doesn't know. Eating blind pay, dong. Just rely on smart talk and look for face only!" I laughed out loud, then waved my hands leaving those who were staring in annoyance.

"You ... Totally beyond expectations Tira" said Mr. Saka.

"In front of them they will definitely repay me, so we must prepare ourselves as well as possible" I said. While walking away from the meeting building.
