Meet him again

Syakirah and his friends have been working in this XX factory for a month. At the moment they were resting in the cafeteria, they sat down and ate their own food, while talking about their work.

"We've been working in this factory for a month and we've always done our job well. I'd love to apply as a full-time employee, what about you guys?" syakirah

"I also want to apply as a permanent employee, after all, there is no prohibition to be a permanent employee, only we have to complete the selection correctly" replied Wahyu.

"How about we ask Ms. Ariana?He'll explain it and you're the Navy. I'm surprised to see you. You've been working in this factory for about three years. But, why don't you have the intention to become a full-time employee here?" ask Syakirah to the Navy.

"I'm waiting for you here. I want us both to apply as permanent employees. I did intend that, my friend had invited me a year ago, before he moved from this XX factory. But I turned it down because I wanted to apply as a permanent employee with you, so many people have invited me, but I always refused" replied Navile

"Hmm... Why are you waiting for us? Isn't that very detrimental to yourself. Since you've wasted your chance, isn't the sooner the better?" ryan asked the Navy.

"I think we can propose together. Because I'm older than you, so I'm waiting for you" replied the Navy.

"That's no problem. We better think about how we can become permanent employees here. We should ask Ms. Ariana." suggested Wahyu.

"Yes, we have to ask him when we get home" Rey said.

They all agreed to ask Ms. Ariana when she came home from work later. The time-out bell had rung and they had already moved from their seats and entered their rooms and started to sit in their respective places.

***

The bell home for the morning siff employee has rung. Syakirah and his friends are already in Ariana's room. They were wondering to Ms. Ariana about the permanent employees.

"Mom sorry to interrupt the timing. I'd like to ask. Mom, me and my friends want to apply as permanent employees at this XX factory. How can we propose to Mom?" ask Syakirah to Ms. Ariana.

Hearing the question from Syakirah, Bu Ariana was not surprised because she had been waiting for it since they entered the XX factory, especially the Navy. Navile has been offered several times to become a permanent employee, but Navile still refused for the same reason. Ariana understood that.

Finally Bu Ariana explained about being a permanent employee. They must pass the selection first and be tested several tasks first. Being a permanent employee is not as easy as being a contract employee. Because employees still have to complete their tasks on time, unlike contract employees who can delay their work for approximately three days. So no wonder if employees still have a larger salary than contract employees.

After hearing the explanation from Ms. Ariana earlier, they agreed they would apply to become permanent employees for another week.

Syakirah has arrived home. He has cleaned his body and has performed his prayer. He intends to play at his cousin's house (Kiya ), because he has not visited Kiya's house for a long time due to his exhausting work. Since it was also Sunday night and he had already earned his first salary, he wanted to treat this cousin of his. She has also given her mother money for daily shopping and extras for her sister's school, although his mother had refused because Syakirah had a dream to make his own home so as not to burden his parents and want to live independently. But Syakirah still forced his mother to accept it, because it got coercion from Syakirah finally his mother Syakirah accepted it and thanked Syakirah.

After choosing his clothes for the streets with his cousin. Shakirah walks to his cousin's house. Kiya's house is not far from Syakirah's house just a few meters away he will arrive at Kiya's house.

When I got to Kiya's house, Syakirah called Kiya. Kiya heard the voice of Syakirah immediately rushed to get out of the house. Kiya was confused because his cousin usually never look for him since Syakirah worked at XX factory. When he came out he asked the shakirah.

"What's wrong? you're not working? aren't you usually looking for me? Is there anything important you want to talk to me about?" kiya asked Syakirah.

"I want to take you on a walk!"

"Huh? Do you have no job? don't you usually take me for walks since you've been working?"

"I've been home from work. Today I got my first paycheck, so I want to buy you a meal!"

"But are you not tired? Shouldn't you just rest at home? You have to work tomorrow, right?" kiya asked worriedly. Syakirah just smiled, she was so happy to have a cousin like Kiya.

"No, sister, I also need a walk to calm my mind as well."

Hearing the explanation from Syakirah made Kiya breathe a sigh of relief. Because Kiya does not want to make Syakirah tired because he has worked from morning until night, unlike him who only works in the morning until noon only.

Kiya works as an elementary school teacher near her home. In the village that Syakirah and Kiya live in, there is a kindergarten and Elementary School. Actually Kiya wants to work with Syakirah in the factory, considering he is only a graduate of the boarding school makes it difficult for him to get a job. Rather than being unemployed it is better for Kiya to be a teacher. Although his salary was not great, it was not a problem for him, because he got money from his hard work. After all Kiya is also embarrassed to ask for money to her parents, fearing it will also be the gossip of neighbors and surrounding people. Kiya finally agrees to Syakirah's invitation.

"Yes I changed my clothes first and took my bag and phone first." after saying that, Kiya went in and took her bag and cell phone.

Soon they left on their own motorcycles. They decided to go to the night market.

***

After they arrived at the night market. They put their bikes in the parking lot and started walking. In the night market there are a lot of food vendors and there is also a children's playground, and many other things.

They decide to forage first, as Kiya has not eaten dinner yet. Finally they stopped at the Soto Padang food stall, considering the cold weather, they decided to eat a fruitful meal.

After eating their soto. They walked while looking at the goods sold on the side of the road. They enjoy it until they are unaware that Syakirah hit someone and made the person's phone fall. Syakirah took her phone and apologized. When going to give up the phone Syakirah was surprised, the person he hit was Ahmad's former lover. Ahmad was walking with his girlfriend Hanifa. Because tonight is Sunday night, so they're dating.

Seeing that made Syakirah's heart ache. Perhaps if there was a Revelation, he would have immediately withdrawn the hand of Syakirah and moved away from Ahmad. Syakirah realized that he immediately returned Ahmad's phone and apologized.

"I'm sorry I accidentally hit you and I'm also sorry for making your phone fall" Syakirah told Ahmad. When Ahmad wanted to take his phone, suddenly Hanifa immediately snatched Ahmad's phone with a cynical look.

"Hey you deliberately hit Ahmad, so you can look at him again" Hanifa said tightly.

"No! I didn't see you two walking in front of me. After all, you are not on the right side of the road not the left, maybe you are the one who chose the wrong way. Supposedly if you saw me earlier you immediately avoid the collision and we will not meet" replied Syakirah who is no less cynical. Honestly, Syakirah is also confused why they did not avoid when they saw Syakirah earlier.

Seeing the quarrel made Kiya feel annoyed and angry, because Ahmad had promised Kiya that he would not meet Syakirah, if he was with Hanifa.

Ahmad saw a cynical look from Kiya that made him realize that he was dealing with Syakirah. Because Ahmad has been daydreaming.

I'm sorry I broke my promise Kiya. Ii'm sorry. Honestly I still love your sister very much, even you forbid me to meet her, it is very frustrating Ahmad said in his heart.

Ahmad did intend to take the same direction when he saw Syakirah and Kiya earlier.

Ahmad was walking in the night market with his girlfriend Hanifa. Although he was taking a walk with Hanifa but his mind remained on one person, namely Syakirah.

Ahmad's heart is filled with Syakirah. However, he could not go to Syakirah to apologize alone. If, he met Syakirah he could not see Syakirah again. Because Kiya once said something to Ahmad that made Ahmad's guts shrink.

Don't go near Syakirah first! I told you to apologize three years ago, but you didn't listen to me and instead listened to that cunning woman. Don't meet Syakirah! If you dare to meet Syakirah without my permission, even though I am not his parents, I will take Syakirah away from here, away from br*ngs*k people like you!

Yes, those are the words that Kiya said to Ahmad. Therefore, why did he not dare to meet Syakirah.

Ahmad awoke from his daydream when he saw Syakirah and Kiya were walking - the road. Seeing that Ahmad immediately brought Hanifa to buy a bag that was in the place where Syakirah walked. He had already planned this, so that he could meet again with Syakirah.

Flashback Off

Seeing the impossible situation, Kiya finally started talking.

"Hanifa, we haven't seen each other in a long time. How are you?" ask Kiya base - stale. Actually Kiya is very lazy when dealing with Hanifa, because Hanifa always uses a sneaky way every time dealing with Ahmad.

"Of course it's good news, if there are no bullies between us" Hanifa replied with a stern and stressed out the word bully. Hearing Hanifa's reply, Kiya had to pretend to smile.

"I'm sorry that we hit you earlier, then I am first" Kiya said, clinging to Syakirah's hand, to quickly leave in front of them.

Kiya and Syakirah immediately walked quickly towards the parking lot. Because coming home is the best way to avoid the attached grandmother.

Seeing Kiya leave him and also taking Syakirah away, made Hanifa upset. Finally he chased after Kiya and Syakirah. When she managed to reach Syakirah's left hand, Hanifa immediately pulled her and slapped Syakirah's face. Seeing that Ahmad was so angry that he grabbed Hanifa's arm violently and pulled her, so as not to do more.

"Hanifa what are you doing!?" ahmad said with anger.

"Why are you angry Ahmad ? do you still love Syakirah ? so you don't accept?" Said Hanifa cynically.

"I'm guilty of nothing why you slapped him, haven't I already been yours!?"

"Yes, you are mine but your heart is not for me but for this woman."

Getting a slap from Hanifa of course Syakirah did not accept. Finally he returned Hanifa's slap violently. Hanifa who was getting a slap from Syakirah grimaced in pain, as Syakirah's slap was harder than her slap. Fortunately, their place is currently quiet, if it is crowded maybe they will be a spectacle of people.

"Hey, what's my fault with you? Didn't you take Ahmad from me? Didn't you make Ahmad believe me no more? You also have Ahmad. Is there less for that!?" syakirah said with anger. Ahmad and Kiya just silently watched, because it was useless for them to interfere.

"Your mistake is that your name is still engraved in Ahmad's heart until now, even your relationship has ended five years ago, but what Ahmad has in his heart is you are not me!"

"Then what's the problem? That's your problem. I have also not had any communication with Ahmad since our relationship ended, and I have always avoided seeing him!"

Hearing the answer from Syakirah made Hanifa silent. Because it is true that Syakirah had no communication with Ahmad since their relationship ended. Feeling defeated, Hanifa would finally slap him again, but not until his hand was on Syakirah's face, it was already held by someone. Yeah, that someone is Rey. Rey saw the quarrel between Syakirah and Hanifa earlier, only that she did not want to interfere, because Hanifa had gone too far so she had to interfere.

"Who are you?" hanifa asked Rey while releasing her hand from Rey's.

"I'm Syakirah's girlfriend." Hearing Rey's answer made these four people widen their eyes in disbelief. Especially Ahmad, his heart felt broken into pieces.

"What! You're her boyfriend?" hanifa asked to make sure once more. "It's good if you're here. Tell your lover this so he doesn't approach anyone else's lover!" said Hanifa while showing Syakirah with her index finger. Hearing that, Rey smiled.

"Yes, I'll advise him!" rey answered while hugging Syakirah's shoulder. Syakirah also did not flinch as if she agreed with Rey.

Hearing that made Hanifa immediately leave while pulling Ahmad's hand.

Seeing Hanifa is gone. Rey saw Syakirah's cheeks flushed red as a result of Hanifa's slap.

"Are you okay, what? good thing Revelation doesn't know about this, if she knows I can guarantee there's a big fight here." Rey told Syakirah. "I'm sorry about that because I called you my girlfriend, I just wanted to protect you" Rey continued.

"It's okay - don't you need to apologize, it's not your fault. Instead I thank you, because you saved me and solved my problems, though not all. If there were no you would have been here by this time and fought with him." said Syakirah. Hearing Syakirah's reply made Rey nod steadily.

"Yes, come home, it's nine o'clock in the night. It's not good for women to go out at night." Rey reminded.

"Yes I'll go home, thank you" Syakirah said and left Rey immediately.

Syakirah I think you have no more hope to Ahmad, it turns out my guess is wrong you still expect it to turn out, Rey said in her heart.

Syakirah and Kiya have taken the bike.

"Sorry, our streets are disturbed." sorry Syakirah to Kiya.

"It's okay don't apologize it's not your fault either. Didn't I just say that you should rest but you still want to walk with me." replied Kiya sighing.

"Yes, my brother, I'm sorry."

"Yes, let's go home. It's night too!"

"Yes." Yeah."

After Syakirah apologizes to Kiya, they finally go home.

Seriate......
