Chat At Night
“Hallo, Sir!” rumina's voice was low, she held him back from being heard by other friends, while also holding back the noise so as not to interfere with their conversation.
“Where are you still?” alza's voice across there sounded resolute.
“I'm still at the station, Sir! Ad—“
“Send your photo!”
“What is it required?”
“Ya!”
“Good, wait a minute!”
Rumina still according to although a little confused by Alza's words, he thought it was like that should be because this was the first for him. He also made a photo of himself standing not far from his friends. They were waiting for a bus to pick them up at the train station. After that he sent it without turning off the call.
Once the message is received, Alza decides to call.
Rumina became sour, she thought Alza would talk about her reasons for asking for photos, asking for other things or at least saying thank you. Again the girl ignores her own feelings that lie between irony and hope, as well as delusion and reality.
She's just an ordinary girl and must know herself and her limits so she won't have any more hope for Alza. He will focus on raising money to save and pay his debts. He had no intention of going into debt! Suddenly he regretted. He should have sold himself so that he did not have to be indebted as he is now.
This was not his fault, but Alza's fault. It was wrong of him not to sleep with her that night. Wh why?
The thought came along with the disappointment that had just come. The idea of blaming others is one of the perfect ways to entertain yourself. No one in this world expects to make a mistake.
Once again he is innocent, so why feel indebted and want to repay his services? Not necessary!
Shortly after, a small bus with the inscription PT. Robinson Botanica approached the training troupe there, including Rumina. Inside was already another participant from the second branch. The total participants from Robinson's four offices in various cities, all totaled 20 people.
The training is held twice a year. Aim to improve the performance and dedication of all employees loyal to Robinson botanica. On average, they worked there long enough. In addition to getting knowledge and guidance to become better employees, they will also get awards. On that occasion the company will give rewards or prizes. Those who participate in the group are employees who have been selected by each office. It was obtained from the assessment of his work for the past six months.
When on the bus, all participants were asked to sign something in a paper that had been stamped and the company logo. The contents of what they sign cannot be opened or read.
It was very suspicious for Rumina. The girl was curious until she opened the sealed envelope inside the map. Then, he tried to peek and read what was inside the envelope.
“What are you doing why don't you sign it?” said a man sitting on Rumina's side they were both sitting the very back of the bus because that was the only bench left.
“No, I'm just curious, try to cover me not to be seen!”
As soon as he managed to open a small part of the envelope he was astonished to find out the reading inside. He felt that he, as well as all the participants, were involved in a scam but he knew nothing. So he chose not to sign it.
After that he connected with what was asked by Alza to send his picture while at the train station.
“Are you done signing?” ask his friend again.
“Euhm!” Rumina muttered, while giving her friend some calm.
Arriving at the company they are taken to the provided place, for the participants of the exercise to rest. It was an elongated permanent building that was quite nice and well maintained so clean.
It turns out they do not need to clean the area and also the room, because everything is clean. This year they got a special mess because it was newly renovated. Each room was quite comfortable and used for four people.
When they arrived there it was already late in the afternoon until a hostel in charge asked them to rest and prepare early in the morning for the next day.
Rumina gets a pleasant roommate though, it's from different branches as well as divisions. Precisely that is the preoccupation because they can exchange different experiences and stories.
Only one of the women in common is that they are very curious about Alza as the main leader of the four branches of the company. Of course from each branch get the same portion, about Alza visit. That's one time in each month.
“Yes, yes,” says another friend approves while smiling shyly.
Only Rumina behaved normally because she did not want to show herself that she was not like them. He was not as enthusiastic about Alza and focused on paying his debts. That's why he has to work hard.
“But human life is like that, right?” rumina said, he looks the most dominant among the other three.
“What do you mean suddenly talk like that?” rumina asked while putting the fried beans in her mouth.
“Mr Alza!” said the first woman to speak.
“Why with him?” ask the other woman.
“Usually, the human being can only look at each other from a distance, see the life of others is good from us or see others are more fortunate and we, we don't know what that guy did until he got lucky and lived comfortably right?”
The other three women nodded their heads in agreement.
“Yes! What do you mean Mr Alza?” ask the friend who sat to the left of Rumina.
The first woman to speak also nodded.
“What's wrong with Mr Alja?” rumina said curiously.
“You don't know yet?” said the woman.
“She we see the perfect man, handsome, rich, honorable, his family is also distinguished, but I think he is the one to be pitied! In fact, it is likely that he is unhappy!”
The other friend nodded their heads as they enjoyed the fried bean snack Rumina had brought.
“Yes, he has a disabled wife for life!” said the woman.
Suddenly Rumina was silent and sculpting, while the other friends were still chattering.
“Yes, better as we are simple ... mediocre, but we are happier, yes, right?”
“Started!” others chimed in.
“Hei! Don't you guys want to sign up for a second wife, huh?”
“Hai, don't dream we're not his level!”
“Who knows any of us are lucky?”
“Maybe she has already satisfied herself with many women out there!”
“No way .. I hear people like Mr. Alza that, are the ones who keep the pride and the good name of the family!”
Hearing the chatter of her friends, Rumina suddenly choked on the fried beans she ate.
“Hai, Rumi! What's wrong with you? Why are you suddenly choking?”
“No, it's okay, I just need a drink!” he said while taking mineral water in the packaging available in his room.
In his heart he was actually clumsy. He recalled his first meeting with Alza in the hotel room that had been booked at that time. He thought! If it's true the man deliberately hired a clean woman. The possibility is only one that, the man wants to take care of himself and is no longer strong to, bear his desire that is not channeled because of the condition of the wife.
Rumina immediately moved to pick up her phone in the bag.
