Those Who Want My Body
The Birthday Surprise

Ms. Neneng and the other employees were doing the charade, they were pretending to fight because of the mistake I made. Though I did nothing wrong, as punishment I had to tidy up the drug warehouse by checking the expiration date that was at the back of the pharmacy room.

"It turns out that today there is still oppression between juniors and seniors in the workplace." Mumbles.

"In any case I must keep doing it, spirit." I said while clenching my hands.

An hour later, my work was not finished. So many drugs that must be checked. I accidentally dropped the medicine and made it scatter near the exit. As I picked up the scattered medicine, a black shadow passed me.

"Don't mind! Let it go, Aish." I grumbled.

"It's my birthday, it could be 'they' bothering me. It's already lunchtime, others may have gone to the cafeteria to eat. While my work is still a lot. Patience Aish, spirit of Aish." I said with a thin smile.

After it was done, all the scattered medicine had already been neatly returned. As I turned my back to the door, suddenly the door closed violently. I was surprised, trying to reopen the door.

"How about this, the door is locked. Where's my phone, geez I forgot. I kept the phone in my bag."

The warehouse lights blinked a few times.

"Other than now." I started crying.

I sat on the floor long enough. The knocking of the door began to sound. I was thinking maybe 'them' again. But it was not, the knock on the door was followed by the sound of Ms. Neneng calling my name.

"Aish... Are you still inside? Open the door."

"Mom, I'm here. Door's locked. I can't open it."

I heard the door lock trying to open.

"Thank God, thank you, ma'am."

"Happy birthday to you.. happy birthday to you... happy birthday... happy birthday.... happy birthday..."

"Happy birthday, Aish, I'm sorry we fucked you." Speak Pak Harsa cengengesan.

Happy, moved, upset and sad mixed into one. I couldn't get the words out, I just smiled as I shed tears. Although it's day two working here, we've known each other for a long time. I used to intern here, although briefly enough for me to get along with them.

"Aish let's blow out the candles, I can't wait to eat the cake." Said brother Suhanda with his special gemula.

"Thank you very much ma'am, sir, sister Amy, your sister. Sorry if I thought negatively about you guys." My words are full of haru.

"Geez, what do you think we are." Answer Suhanda in a joking tone.

"Your acting is very qualified, it seems suitable to get an award." Ledekku while continuing to smile.

Everyone laughed, considering that it looked real. Especially when I was in the medicine warehouse, it felt so real that it made me want to cry as hard as I could.

"Whose role as the shadow was it? Who locked the warehouse? Who makes the warehouse lights flicker? Your sister is...?" I asked while laughing at Suhanda's brother.

Everyone fell silent with each other throwing glances at my question.

"We're just fighting Aish." Answer Amy's astonishment.

"Are there other people who participated in this charade?" Ask Mr. Harsa to Amy's sister.

"No sir."

"Whose league?"

"Ehemm. Many patients are waiting in line to take the drug." Ms. Neneng switched the conversation. Yes.mam Neneng understands this situation. Considering that Miss Neneng knows that I can see them."
