WHY LOVE
12. Secretary's Vacancy

"Lake in!"

Nico made a sound after hearing the door of his room being knocked. He did not distract himself from the laptop screen, reading the company's growth charts that showed an increase during his serious work.

"Ehm. Mr Nico, am I interrupting his time ?" Yola, Nico's secretary, hesitantly approached the desk.

Nico looked up at the secretary with a big belly. "Sit Yola, what's up ?"

Yola pulled out a chair, then sat face to face with the boss. "Look sir, my content has stepped on 8 months and I decided to resign. I'll get the letter ready soon."

Nico is surprised to hear Yola's decision which is suitable for him to be his secretary. "Why should I resign La ? You can go on maternity leave...." Nico tries to persuade Yola to change her mind.

"I want to focus on taking care of the baby, want to be a full housewife, Mr. Nico. I have been pursuing enough dreams, have been a secretary for 5 years in this company. And now it is time to realize the dream of forming the characters of children IMTAK and IPTEK. In my opinion, all of that will be realized if I focus on being a housewife. It's been my commitment to my husband." Yola explained calmly, there was absolutely no sadness letting go of her career.

Nico mangosteen heard Yola's explanation. "I respect your thoughts, Yola. Alright I will approve your decision even though it is heavy. But before resigning, you have to help me choose your successor. And then teach him the tasks he has to do. I'll contact HRD to open a new vacancy."

"Ready sir, I'll help. Hopefully in this week there is a candidate, sir, because I want to resign immediately. It's been this heavy belly, so it's easy cape...." Yola chuckled while rubbing her distended stomach. Then, excuse me for leaving the boss room.

During the break, Candra came out of her study room and walked straight past her secretary's desk. "Sir Candra, would you like lunch in the cafeteria ?" Salma her secretary greeted, making Candra stop her steps and turn her head.

"You wanna go with me ?" Candra knitted her eyebrows together staring at Salma.

"If I may, I will be with you." said Salma smiling shyly.

"Come on! But I want to go to Mushola first, you please pesenin menu for me yes.." then Candra continued her steps which immediately followed Salma. Together they entered the elevator that has three people in it, Salma immediately pressed the button no 2.

"The usual menu, right, sir ?" Salma assured first before they split directions on the 2nd floor.

"Yes." Yeah."

Salma with enthusiasm towards the queue that has not been many people, because some employees choose to perform Duhur prayer first.

"Hi Yola's..." Salma patted the shoulder of Yola who was standing in front of her. Yola looked back.

"Hi Salma, it just so happened to meet. I want to tell you, in a week I'm gonna resign." Yola said half a whisper.

"Lho you know..kok suddenly gini what's up...? Ah not resign but maternity leave huh...?" Salma confirmed her conjecture again.

"Truly resign, Salma. I want to focus on being RT's mom." Yola replied giggling softly. I've confirmed HRD to find a new secretary, he wants to have applicants tomorrow." continued Yola again, while taking rice and side dishes presented buffet.

"Yeah I'll be lonely dong beb.no more friends vent.." Salma's face became sad, his lips frown.

"Hopefully my replacement will be fun and you'll be friends with him..." Yola comforts Salma with her hope.

"I hope so, Yola. I went there first, prepared it for Mr. Candra..." Salma and Yola split up to their respective desks.

"Ehm. Oh yes sir, there's some hot news today. Mr. Nico is looking for a new secretary, Yola has resigned, after giving birth he wants to focus on taking care of the child, he said." Salma broke the silence they finished eating. There are two juices that have not been touched.

"Oh yeah!" Candra slightly reviewed the smile of hearing the news. He remembered his sister who had experience as a secretary in Aceh.

"Why smile, sir ?" Salma frowned. Apparently he noticed Candra who was suddenly daydreaming.

"Eh, no. Sal, try checking HRD has made the recruitment ad not yet !"

Salma nodded, he grabbed his hape stored in his pants pocket. He opened the company's website to find job info. "Yes sir, it's already installed." Salma raised her head to look at Netra Candra for a moment, the look in her eyes that always made her heart rustle.

"OKs. Thanks info. I went to the room first yes, there was a job terpending earlier," Candra sipped her orange ice to the toilet before moving.

"Please sir, I want to go to the mosque first," Salma politely bowed her body.

"Accepts are not dependent on being qualified. You won't help me just because you're my brother. You have to succeed because of your skills. Do not forget to send your CV via email. Assalamualaikum" Candra ended her long conversation. He has contacted Suci to inform him of an opportunity to return to work.

"Just what, who knows the interview call.." said Candra who understood to see the gesture of the sister.

And Suci also had a serious conversation with the caller. His face seemed to be in response to every caller's question.

"Okay sir, I'll be there on time. Thanks for the notice."

"Good morning sir." Suci finished the chat, saving his hape back next to his plate.

"Alhamdulillah Umi, brother, I was with 9 other people called to interview today...." Suci smiled widely, both of his responses rubbed the faces a sign of gratitude.

"Umi pray, may you escape son..." Umi smiled at the knot.

"Aamiin Umi.." sahut Suci and Candra.

"You get ready.we're off together. If you're accepted, we can be together every day."
