THE STAIN OF THE PAST

THE STAIN OF THE PAST
Chapter 4. New Jobs.


At exactly six o'clock Kania was getting ready for work at a new place. Kania hopes the office where she works at this time does not know about the video of her.


Kania is occupied in the marketing department. All co-workers welcomed Kania's presence with open arms. Kania was happy.


After returning from Kania's office looking for Kos who is close to the company to make it easier for him to go to work.


After getting a spot, Kania tries to contact her aunt Meri. She is the only family of Kania.


When the phone line was picked up, Kania immediately spoke, "Tante, I've been working again. I'm currently boarding near the office. So that I won't be hard later when I go to work. Aunty can use my motorbike to travel anywhere," said Kania.


"Did you call me just to ask where your bike is?" ask Aunt Meri.


"It's not so, Auntie. I just wanted to say that I've got a new residence near the office, so I don't really need a motorbike!"


"Thank God if you're conscious. Only that bike you talk about. You do not want it used by Oom for ngojek. Listen yes, Kania. You've lived in my house for decades. Think of the bike as the payday!" said Aunt Meri with a ketus.


Kania did not answer Aunt Meri's words. The bike was bought with his hard work. Should he let go of that motor which was his only treasure.


"Don't call Aunty again.This is the last time. I'm ashamed to have a cheap bang like you. I don't want my kids to follow in your footsteps!"


Aunt Meri turned off their cell phone. And when Kania tries to call back can't, it seems to have been blocked.


***


Kania has been working for a week at this new company. Employees here can receive Kania well. The woman felt alive again. After experiencing the sad things he could finally feel relieved to be appreciated.


Kania and a division friend promised to watch. Every Saturday they work only half a day until twelve noon. Arriving at the mall they eat first before proceeding with watching.


"What movie are we going to see, right?" ask Ratih.


"What about horror movies?" ask Talita.


"I prefer romantic movies" Kania said.


"Then we take the most votes" said Dinda.


Finally they held a vote, and many fans are romantic. Kania laughed happily because her wish was granted. The six of them went to the cinema cheerfully, while joking. While queuing up to buy a movie ticket, Ratih was surprised by someone greeting him.


"How are you doing, Ratih? Long time no see."


"Ira, who do I think. You want to watch too. Same who?" ask Ratih. It turns out that Ratih and Ira are old acquaintances. They were once an office.


"I'm with my future husband. Who are you the same?"


"I'm with office friends. That everything?" show Train. Ira looked in the direction that Ratih pointed. He was shocked to see Kania, his office friend who was fired because of his perverted video circulating.


"Kania's your office mate?" ask Ira. The woman felt the need to protect her friend Ratih.


"What's it because?" ask Ratih.


Ira invites Ratih to a corner of the room and says all about her perverted video Kania. Even he also kept it and sent it to Ratih.


"I didn't expect it to turn out to be a cheap and wild female Kania. His face looks pretty."


"We were in the office at first also did not believe, but after seeing firsthand was sure if it was Kania. And the bad thing is not one video. I'm sure it's with different men" Ira said.


"I don't want to be embarrassed and get carried away if I'm close to a sinful woman like Kania. Thank you for saying all this. I had to take my friend away from him. Later we will also be considered cheap if close to him."


"That's sure. I just don't want to be friends with him anymore. Shame on!" said Ira.


"I thank you again, thanks for the information!" Ratih leaves Ira and walks closer to Kania and the other friends.


Trained to whisper something into Dinda and Talita's ears. The two friends shut their mouths in shock. The three of them looked at Kania.


"Sorry, Nia. It seems we are not watching. Next time, though. The three of us had a sudden need" said Ratih and pulled Dinda and Talita's hand to leave without waiting for an answer from Kania.


Kania felt astonished and could only see the departure of her friends with a feeling of sadness. Just now he was about to enjoy life, but it was immediately canceled.


Kania chose to sit on the bench available in the cinema. Her tears could not be held down falling down her cheeks.


"O Lord, is this a punishment for me who has played with Your religion. Sin without thinking of the consequences. I'm sorry God. I know it's nothing like the sins I committed. I deserve all this."


If I were to be reborn, I would correct my mistakes and regrets in those times. Crying over my regrets, I know this might be karma, yes I accept this karma, the fact that time will never come back. That sin needs to be burned, either by the pain of remorse in this world or by the fire of hell in the hereafter. Your sins may be as big as a ship, but never forget that God's grace is greater than the sea. I believe that.


Kania wiped her tears. He stood up from his seat wanting to go home to the boarding house. Just about to step Kania heard a voice that was no stranger to his ears.


"Kania, two weeks of not seeing you is even more beautiful."


Kania turned her back, looking Adit and a woman Kania knew were holding hands. That woman is none other than Ira, her office mate.


Kania and Ira looked at each other. Both of them are shocked because they both know Adit. Kania ignores Adit and wants to walk but Adit's voice makes Kania stop.


"I heard from Ira, you've been fired for your nasty video."


Adit has just been sacked by Ira if he also gets to know Kania, his co-worker who was fired for his lewd videos. Ira doesn't know if Adit is the man who was with Kania, because the man had edited it before circulating it.


"I hope one day you will get a reward for what you did. You can hide from your mistakes but not your karma."


The person who hurts you is someone who is willing to accept pain more than you alone someday. Karma will pay. Beware of the heart you hurt. You don't know what he complained to His creator.
