Time Hallway
chapter 8 - What Your Profession Really Is

"Besides being more visible from a height, I also love the view of the night from a height."

"The cityscape, which is filled with lights and tall buildings makes it beautiful."

***

"I like it too. But there was no bad experience there." Say Bagas.

"Thank God. Em forgive me sir, already speaking strangely and at length."

"Ah I like it. You're a great chatter buddy." Say Bagas, smile thinly.

Anya smiled. "Well, how are we going to face it together?" Tanya Bagas went into the pool again.

"I mean sir?" Ask Anya doesn't understand.

"Come on!" Invite Bagas to give his hand so that Anya can reach him.

Anya shook her head. "I'll teach you!"

"But.."

Bagas pulled Anya, and made Anya surprised. Anya spontaneously hugged Bagas, put her hands around Bagas' neck, and wrapped her legs around Bagas' waist.

Bagas who was surprised by Anya's behavior fell silent, sensing that something was waking up down there. Because there's pressure from Anya, which feels stuck. "Share the focus!" Inner Bagas.

"Hey! Comeon! Get off! Do you want to be close to me?" Say Bagas soften.

Anya spontaneously let go of her embrace. "Byuuuuurrrr..."

"Bright.."

"Ohhh...."

Bagas closed his eyes, annoyed. And lifted up Anya's body, held her. And direct so that Anya can learn to swim well. "First, you need to calm down. Don't be so tense!"

Anya took a deep breath. And try as calmly as possible.

"good. Now we have basic training, yes my way is different from most people. But, it's okay, the most important thing is the result later."

***

"But sir, should we study at midnight like this? Is the master not cold?"

"You cold?" Ask Bagas.

"No sir."

"I used to swim at night, if I was tired and had trouble sleeping." Clear Bagas.

"Oh okay. I also like to soak in water, even at night. Because the night is more beautiful." He smiled calmly.

"alright. We adjust the breathing first, if you already feel calm in the water. We're going to the next stage."

"I'm still a little scared. Because the pool is deep." Complain Anya.

"It's not the pool that's too deep, you're too short." Say Bagas lightly.

"Ah sir, don't beat the master so high. So that it mocks me at will." Anya Annya.

"You're against me?"

"No sir." He nodded and relented.

"Let's get in the water, and hold your breath for as long as possible. But all that it can." Clear Bagas.

"But sir.."

"I'll hold you!"

Anya also followed the direction of Bagas. They go into the water, and hold their breath. For Anya this is her habit with her friends and family first, when in the pool. So, he's a little good.

30 Seconds later. Anya felt tight and directed her body upwards, to take in some fresh air. While Bagas helped her, nodded Anya's body upwards. And he still lives down there.

1 Minute passed, he had just brought himself up.

"Your lord. How can you stay in the water all this time?" Admired Anya.

"That's normal. When there is a disaster, drowning in the sea, flooding or so on. We have to survive, right?" Ask Bagas.

"Ah yes. But, by the way, how tall is the master? How can I be so short beside the master." Wonder Anya.

"Absolutely right, very short. Almost close to my navel well you." Say Bagas add-on.

"No sir, it's still mister. I'm not a dwarf either." Elak Anya was upset.

"Ah okay. 179cm. Looks like you're 146cm yeah?" Answer and ask Bagas.

***

"Any right, why can you guess so easily?"

"Ah is right. I was just nebak. But, I must be authoritative. And it should be cool dong in front of him." Inner Bagas.

"Yes dong, I am a genius from before I was born." Say Bagas proudly.

"Tomorrow we will learn again." Say Bagas again.

"That's it?" Wonder Anya.

"Why? Everything has to go through, not straight to the point." Ask Bagas.

"Ah okay." Anya also gave up.

Morning is welcome, birds chirp. Flying brings news to everyone. The blazing sun, pierced through every window of the human house.

Some people are disturbed by its blinding rays and wake up to a comfortable sleep. However, there are some people who are happy, welcome it because it is like an alarm does not sound.

"Angel!" Call Bagas.

"Yes sir?"

"Pair tie!" His order.

"But sir."

"Can't you?" Ask Bagas.

"Hurry up!" Said cold.

"Be good." Nervous Anya.

Anya approached Bagas, and took his tie. Put it on his neck, very thoroughly and deftly.

"It's sir."

"Well, well, where are you?" Ask Bagas.

"Ah time Junior High, I learned it. Because, SMK doesn't wear a tie." Obviously Anya.

"Oh yes, but why remember? Is it more than 5 years?" Ask Bagas wonder.

"Ah I don't know." Anya answered.

"Why don't you go to college, I see all your good performance and grades." Ask Bagas again.

"I also very much want master, but circumstances force me to work." Anya replied weakly.

"Ah so. Why not get a scholarship?" Tanya Bagas.

"Stay sir, my mother can't afford supplies, fees, book fees and the like." Anya replied as calmly as possible.

"Ah so. Daddy?"

"My father is married again. Just when I was in 4th grade SD sir, my parents divorced when I was in 2nd grade SD. Ah forgive me, why should I tell you a personal matter." Obviously Anya was unconscious.

"Ah I should apologize, for maybe offending you." Say Bagas iba.

"No sir." Anya answered.

"Alright come!"

"Where?" Ask Anya in wonder.

"You forgot? I have to work, when you're right to wear clothes to the office." Ask Bagas.

"Ah sorry sir, I forgot." Anya answered.

Anya also followed the footsteps of Bagas.

"Master didn't have breakfast?" Ask Anya.

"I never eat at home." Answer the cold Bagas.

"But sir, I've prepared food for you." Anya half begged.

"Who told you to?" Tanya Bagas looked at her sharply.

"No, no initiative. All of the master's aides did forbid me, but I was the one who insisted. So, can we just try a little bit?" Obviously Anya be careful.

"You!? Wanna rule me?" Ask Bagas ketus.

"No sir."

"Just spend my precious time." Said Bagas rushing out of the elevator, but as he passed the dining table. The food is neat, the aroma is mouth-watering.

"Well, just this once." He walked towards the dining table.

***

Anya was made to wonder, the dining table was as big and all this for what. Living alone, which surprised him even more. The dining table can be reduced and raised, like a collapsible dining table.

When the servants of Bagas wanted to prepare and serve, suddenly..

"no need. Anya serve me!" Pinta Bagas relax.

"Emm well sir." Anya answered who initially stood while, immediately swiftly serving Bagas.

All ART Bagas just stared in disbelief, for the first time Bagas ate a home-cooked meal. Bagas never eat home-cooked food even once, it has become a habit when he was a child.

Because of his parents, always took him to a famous restaurant. Making Bagas difficult to let go of his habit, not to eat outside.

"What do you want to eat?" Ask Anya.

"Steak."

Anya served the steak to Bagas' plate, and gave the garfu and knife next to her plate.

"It's like eating steak with red wine." Say Bagas imagine.

"Fruit sir?" Ask Anya plain.

"Hmmm... Miras!" Answer Bagas annoyed.

"Ahh but you want to work."

"Don't rule me! Get me some red wine!" Say Bagas cooler.

"Serious sir?" Ask Anya convincingly.

"Are I kidding you?" Ask Bagas kalem.

"All right, sir."

Anya took the red wine, bi Inem showed her where he kept it. Then Anya poured it.

Bagas finished his steak and the red wine that was served. He also asked for rice and fried chicken in front of him. It's not usually Bagas eating this gluttony.

"What do you really work for?" Ask Bagas on the side where he hopes his breakfast.

"I'm master?" Ask Anya.
