ENGAGEMENT OF THE WAY BACK #2

Part 2
by : Hesti Noviyanti


The next morning, when I usually let him busy with his activities, I started to have a talk with him.
“Umm,, Where did you buy that diary?” I asked it randomly.
“Oh, umm, not really far from the Cyber you have shown when we went home together at first time. I thought it was pretty, so I…” I cut it because I know what’ll he say next and I didn’t want he feels annoyed by me.
“You found it there?! It must be kidding?! Why I never see it? Actually, I love that diary.” I smiled at him unconsciously.
He looked surprised, then he put smile on his smile. As usual, a cute smile that I really want to see it for now and so on.
“I just never realize that near Cyber sells cute diary like this. I think, the one who don’t really know places is me.”
               “Special edition?!” Ambar appeared to us and our minds was scattering because of her. “Is it a dress?! Let it show to me. I hope that is a cute dress so I can wear it on next satnite.”“You know what, the storekeeper said that this is a special edition. Whenever you go there, you won’t see anymore. That’s a special edition of the year.”
Hendriatmo laughed a little, “We’re talking about the frying pan that Kristy will use in her kitchen. And I found a goody-cheap one. Do you want to me to buy you, Mbar?” He teased her.
“Ouch… Thanks, but no, thanks.” She left us.
I laughed so tickled because of his teased. Really, I never felt this free laugh before.
‘Hendriatmo Krisandi , that new student said he had been changed his school until three times this year.’ I wrote it down in my cute diary.
‘He very loves the environment here. This is he never felt in his former schools.’ I continued wrote and wrote in any circumstances.
‘When he tried to catch a dragonfly near the edge of the river, he almost fell to the river.’ In any circumstances on my life, I never forget to write it down on the diary. Formerly, I wasn’t so diligent like this. But I felt this was more interesting.
“Whoaaaa!! How hot today is!!” Sighed Hendri while bringing Mrs. Puteri’s books to the teacher’s room.
“Yeah. It’s too hot. It’ll be nice if we eat ice cream. So, after school, let’s buy two ice creams . It’ll be great.” I said it randomly while bringing Mrs. Puteri’s stuff to. “Then, we eat it while walking to home.” I smiled at him.
He stared at me. Looked shocked. Oh God, what I have said? Whereas he haven’t follow me yet.
“Um,, if everybody sees us eat ice cream beside the river, it has to you to be blame, have you?” He laughed with a weird-unusual laugh.
“We’ll be blamed together, will we?” Again, I said that words randomly.
And again, he gave me a weird and shocked stare.
But the fact when we go home,
“Whhhyyyyy!!” Hendri shouted so loud. “Why it has to be raining now?!” He was still shouting loudly while running, trying to find place to be our shelter.
“Just ask the sky.” I couldn’t think anything except running.
“The point is, we can reach that huge bridge.” While running, he gave me his right hand. “C’mon!”
Without thinking so long, I replied his hand.
“Wooow. I feel I’m flying.” He was pulling me so I thought my body so thin to run.
“What flying? Let’s go!!”
Finally, we reached the shelter under the huge bridge. We’re all  sopping wet.
“How hard raining is.” I was trying to tidy myself.
“Yea, we can do nothing. Only sopping wet. Oh God, how’s the ice creams?” He checked a plastic on his left hand. “What a pity. It is being a liquid.”
I laughed freely, again.
He stared at me. But now, he really shocked. I thought, there was a problem with me. Ah yea, my full of body so wet. That was why he could see my bra. I was trying to close it with crossing my hands over my chess. I looked he was bent down and his cheeks were red. We’re all silent at some time.
Want to try to say but I couldn’t.
“K, Kristy.. Um,, I.. um..” Hendri started a talk. And I thought I knew what he’d say.
I left him. I was going home across the hard rain at that time.
I didn’t know what I was doing now. But I really truly didn’t know why I felt so scared by him. Why?!
“Poor deary..” Mom was pouring me a cup of a hot water, “I thought you’ve fallen to the river. I’ll prepare your another school uniform.”
I was eating the soup slowly while feeling a little bit cold, “OK.”
We were doing supper on the dining room as night before. She looked so worry knowing my condition after being poured by hard raining.
“Kristy…” Mom said with a little sound and worry, I guess.
“Yes, Mom?” I was putting my spoon which full of rice and some dish.
“Ummm…” Mom was stopping cutting her dish meat, “May I marry again?”
Her words were shocking me, much. Marry? Was it a dream? I’ll have a new dad, won’t I? Oh God, what I have to do? No, what should I answer?
“How’s dear?” Mom looked a little worry.
“Ah, yea. Congrats, Mom.” A smile was painting on my lips. A full of worrying smile.
‘Marry? My Mom will marry with a guy who I don’t know who he is. Is daddy not my daddy again? Then, the one who I don’t know …’ “What stuff that I’m writing?” I was tearing the paper I had been writing.
What should I do? Someone… please someone, help me.
“Ah, Hi…” Hendri was greeting me then passing me soon.
“Mor… ning…” And he had been leaving me. I hold my books on chess so hard. Till I couldn’t breath. Till I couldn’t think, anymore.
“HENDRIATMO!!” Everybody was staring at me weirdly. And I found that he was turning his head on me. I was walking to him to talk normally. He hadn’t any avoiding, “There’s something I need to talk. Let us go home together after school.”
He said nothing.

The Positive Impact of Pandemic COVID-19: Pensiunan Ditarik Bekerja Kembali

Tidak sedikit saya membaca postingan serta melihat situasi yang kurang baik akibat dampak yang terjadi dari wabah dunia ini. Tentu saja ditempat saya bekerja juga terjadi hal itu. Namun, sesuai headline postingan ini, saya ingin bercerita mengenai dampak positif dari Pandemi COVID-19. Ada seorang karyawan yang sudah berumur dan tentunya sudah berstatus karyawan tetap, sebut saja beliau Melati. Melati bekerja sebagai operator packing di divisi Warehouse selama puluhan tahun. Sekitar tahun 2018, ia memilih untuk pensiun dini saat hal itu diajukan oleh perusahaan. Beliau harus melepas status karyawannya yang ia jalani berpuluh-puluh tahun dengan ganjaran pesangon dengan jumlah yang tidak sedikit. Beliau pun akhirnya berwirausaha dengan membuka warung sembako dan masih tetap berhubungan dengan kami yang kini menjadi customer terhadap sayur-sayur segar yang beliau miliki. Setiap pagi beliau mengantarkan pesenan kami lalu kami simpan di kulkas pantry untuk kemudian di sore hari kami bawa pul...

Gaji Besar atau Kenyamanan?

Pasti jawabannya adalah kedua-duanya. Yaa bersyukur jika mendapatkan keduanya. Namun fakta di lapangan, pertanyaannya selalu diantara kedua hal tersebut? Atau lebih spesifiknya ialah: " lebih baik gaji gak terlalu besar tapi nyaman, atau gaji besar tapi penuh tekanan? ". Ini permasalahan yang sangat lumrah dan masing-masing dari kita pasti memiliki jawaban dan pilihan beragam berdasarkan keinginan mereka, lebih tepatnya sih berdasarkan kebutuhan ya. Sebab kalo kita inginkan sih pasti yang nyaman dengan bergaji besar. Maruk banget ya 😆 Dalam pandangan saya, bergaji besar tidak melulu memberikan kebahagiaan. Kenapa? Some say kebahagiaan tidak bisa dibayar dengan uang. Is it true? Ya!! Bukannya munafik tapi memang iya lho. Yang jawab ga true, coba mau tau dong alesannya 😊 Guys, rezeki itu ga selalu dalam bentuk uang. Memiliki teman-teman yang baik, yang bisa diajak bekerjasama, tidak saling menjatuhkan, dan yang pasti yang saling membantu jika kita kesulitan. Dan yang ...

Bosan dengan Menu McD. Solusinya...

Siapa yang bosen dan bimbang tiap transit ke McD? Menu beratnya cuma AYAM sama BURGER, ditambah nasi ya. Yaaa kalo cuma ayam doang sih mending beli Sabana aja ya ga. Dua belas ribu udah dapet ayam plus nasi. Kenyang dah.  Kalo KFC bisa enjoy dengan spagheti dan cream soup ataupun soup originalnya yang nyegerin. Di richeese, meski menu ga jauh beda dengan McD tapi saus kejunya bener-bener manjain lidah.  Nah terus, ngapain ke McD? Gini, foodcourt instant (junk) food deket rumah gw yang ada mini playgroundnya cuma McD. Masa kesana cuma numpang maen perosotan doang tanpa beli apa-apa. Gengsi gila. But tonite ada yang baru. Menu Bulgogi Beef Rice. Isinya yaitu daging sapi disiram saus bulgogi ditumpuk diatas nasi dan ditemenin sama dua slices timun dan satu slice tomat. Isinya setengah dari cup nya. Jadi menurut gw, itu setengah porsinya gw. Kalo lu mau kenyang, beli dua porsi ya hehe. Is it worth to eat? Well, dibanding ama menu McD yang itu-itu aja, box meal ini lu...
