11: cockroach drama


zera house residence.at 21:13 p.m.


Chequek!


"Zera came home" I cried faintly as I entered the house and walked towards the sofa where my mother was watching TV.


"Leg.." I muttered as I sat back on the sofa. It's cozy. Honestly, all my bones fell out, but today is still my first day of work.


"Why doesn't dawn chat you bales?" Mom asked seriously but her gaze looked at the TV.


'The artisan ngadu' my inner.


I got up from my seat, "Rara wants to sleep" and walked to the room. Lazy response to mother's question.


"Ra..—"


"What?! I'm tired, ma'am," I snapped.


Blam it!!


I closed the door of my room hard. I rubbed my face while breathing heavily.


"Children come home from work instead of being welcomed, bargained for food, even asked so. aishh!"


Brak!!


I slammed my little bag on the bed and then I slammed this crumpled body.


"Agkk!!" I cried out in annoyance at the roof wall. I'm starting to stress.


************************


The next day....


The clock shows at 6 p.m. I ran into the office in a hurry. Today I woke up all in a hurry. Until I can't eat.


"For Bu Sri, morning bang Kris.. Ah. ha.." I said to Ms. Sri and Kris who were ready to work.


I went straight to the locker to pick up the uniform and rushed over.


"Don't hurry, Ra" said softly Bu Sri looking at me who hurriedly changed clothes.


"What's the crab?" Kris looked at me.


After changing clothes I immediately stood up to join the two people who were still dumbstruck.


"I'm sorry my bad luck, heheh" cingir. Bu Sri chuckled and Rian nodded in confusion.


"Judawak nih son, I'm a new Dateng.h already ah.." said Kris then went to work.


"Come.." tell Bu Sri to me. And we both went to do our job..


**********************


At 10 am. Everyone is working for the cleaning service team when I take a short break.


Ki selonjoran my head here he is on the table facing towards Sri's mother who again smeared her waist balm. While Kris again ate next to Bu Sri.


If you look at Bu Sri this is somewhat the same as my country mother. The body is the same. Unfortunately, Ms. Sri does not wear a veil.


"How many children do you have?" Ask suddenly. Ms. Sri suddenly stopped moving and Kris was shocked. Sri's mother's face suddenly sad. Put it in her balm.


"L..You don't have any other questions what?" Said Kris while giving the code I don't understand.


"Mother.had no children" said Ms. Sri sadly. Instantly, I lifted my head.


"Sorry Mom." I said I felt bad.


"It's okay," said Bu Sri ethereal. The atmosphere was suddenly silent, even Kris was unable to say anything more. Me too.


"Although the mother does not have children but the mother still has a husband who is very dear to the mother. Accepting all the shortcomings of this mother who can not give children. I am so grateful to have a husband like him" she continued. I smiled in response. His words meant that he was very happy.


Brak!!


The three of us were shocked and stared straight at the door. Which turned out that Bu jiya was standing in the doorway.


"Please!! In Mr. Arlen's room are insects!!" Bu jiya panicked.


Kris immediately stood up in panic, "Good Mom I'm going to san—".


"No! Come on Zera we are there" said Ms Sri. I nodded in understanding.


Ms. jiya, Ms. Sri and me. The three of us immediately rushed into Mr. Arlen's room.


*****************


It's been ten minutes that Ms. Sri and I have been looking for a cockroach in various corners of the room.


"Which father saw his cockroach go in which direction?" I asked who was starting to get frustrated because I didn't find the cockroach.


"In the area where you stand, can you find it or not?! Find the right one!" Sent Mr. Arlen he looks panicked. I really can't believe it. Mr. Arlen was apparently afraid of cockroaches. And know where he is now. Yes, he went up to his desk while nagging the same cockroaches who have not met his existence.


"That's the cockroach!" Shouted Bu jiya pointing towards the bottom of my feet.


"Akhc!! Insect s*lan! Go-go! Huss. hus...!"


Hap!!


Once caught directly and then I throw it in the trash. Bu jiya and Mr. Arlen started to feel relieved.


"Finally.." relieved by Arlen.


"Sir alight sir" I said to Mr. Arlen. He got off the table and sat in his chair.


"Who cleaned this room?" Ask Mr. Arlen. I don't know who it was directed to.


"I sir," replied Bu Sri as she lowered her head with a face full of sweat and pale. Must have hurt his waist.


Brak!!


"Basic is not becus! Starting tomorrow you do not have to work here anymore" exclaimed Mr. Arlen emotion.


'wait? Fire?' mind shocked.


"Research?! If you're careful why there's a cockroach in this room?!" Angry cut.


I'm shocked. It turns out Mr. Arlen's nature is like this. Unsuspectedly.


"Father, don't fire the dong people! just because of a cockroach. It's not fair, sir!" I said I don't accept. Very clearly not accepted. Ma'am Sri, how many years has she been working here? Just because he got fired. Cockroaches. Gosh darn..


"You just worked here already dare to yell at me! It's cockroaches! The animal I hate the most and you say it's just! Gosh.. You want me to fire too?"


"I'd like to get fired! Let Bu Sri continue to work here. As long as you know that Madam Sri has a sore waist. He desperately endured the pain in order to find his cockroach. And the father conveniently fired him for a mistake that did not come from him. You have no conscience" I said.


"Who has no heart?" A woman behind me.


'seems like this voice is not foreign?' my inner.


"Beautiful mom!" Take a surprise, Bu jiya.


The deg!!


'campus!! Mother's coming!'..


Glekk!!


I pressed my saliva.


**************


"Oh so that's the story." said Ms. Beautiful as the parents of Mr. Arlen. The woman I helped from pickpocketing.


As usual. Graceful and beautiful.


Bu jiya as secretary explained all the events of a cockroach earlier. And his response was laughter.


"I'm sorry that boy, he's a coward about insects. Bu Sri tomorrow and so on still working but for Zera. Sorry. You have to stop working" explained Aunty beautifully.


Hearing that I resigned. Yeah, no problem, maybe not sustenance.


"Bu Sri and Bu Jiya can leave me with Zera, you can work again" said Bu beautifully. Bu Sri and Bu jiya immediately stood up and left the two of us.


"How are you? Has the wound improved?" Ask the lovely lady.


"Alhamdulillah Good Aunt, the wound has improved" I replied.


"Thankfully, Aunt was angry with Arlen about your work. Aunt should have told Arlen to hire you who are not heavy, even he employs you as cleaning services. Aunty feels so guilty" said the lovely mom.


"S. I'm okay Auntie. The proof is good, my wounds are also not okay. Maybe Mr. Arlen positioned me as appropriate for my education." I said.


Beautiful Aunt just smiled at me, I don't know what she was thinking.


"You know Risa, by the way? surya's son?"


"Iyha knows Auntie! Risa my best friend if om Surya is a friend of my late father. Aunty who's Surya?" I said enthusiastically.


"His sister's aunt, Surya, the deceased? Your father..–" said Aunt Indah paused her speech. I'm flabbergasted.


"My father has been dead since I was a child" I said. Aunty was beautifully silent while caressing my cheek.


"Your father must be very proud to have a child like you. Om Surya told Auntie everything."


"Ah be like that," I responded.


"Zera.."


"Aunty Father,"


"From tomorrow you I work as asis—"


"Can't! Zera will still work here!" Cut Mr. Arlen suddenly appeared behind me.


"You fired him so mama's entitled to Zera" said Beautiful Aunt.


"It can't be, he has to stay here for at least three months. How's it?" Said Mr. Arlen.


"One month" haggard Aunt. Mr. Arlen was silent for a moment.


"Deal, Zera's back at work" said Mr. Arlen. I got up and said goodbye before leaving my son and mother there.


But radak is weird. I'm like the stuff offered. Stupid.The important thing is that work can be money.


Hehe. yukk spirit!


*****************


At 18:11 pm.


Work hours have been completed, all employees have gone home since thirty minutes ago. Me, Ms. Sri, and Kris just came home because they had to clean up first.


"What are you doing, Ra?" Ask Bu Sri on the way to the office exit.


"Good ojol ma'am" I replied.


"Yes be careful, you" he said as soon as we got out of the office. I'm nodding. Bu Sri walked towards her husband who picked her up there.


I opened my phone and it turned out. Lots of messages come in and know from whom. Dawns. That one man. Gosh darn..


I read all the messages to the end that said.


Dawn: let's meet, I'd love to ask you out. Only once. He said you wanted to open your heart to me. Then accept me with this.


Dawn: you're home from work? Send me the address let me pick you up.


I sighed, 'definitely my inner mother.


Me : Where is the date?


After sending a message for dawn, I'm now working on Tina's papa number. To tell that temporary tutoring is closed on the grounds of overtime work. Lies. And I also send it to mbak Jihan as a twin baby.


Before long the dawn message came in by giving us the location of our first date.


Me: I'll be there soon.


Seriate...
