Nadira's heart is running faster. The girl was a little nervous. Today was already Friday, the day when she would go with Dipta and meet her uncle herself who held a printing company.
Nadira was wearing an plain white shirt where she had a modest lace rag like a secretary. With a milk-brown blezer. At the same time, she was wearing black jeans and wearing black flat shoes made of bludru. Dipta told her that the next time Nadira works there is not required to wear cloth pants.
Yes. Nadira gave the decision yesterday to Dipta that she had chosen to work instead. And both Dipta and Meisya agree and regularly support their daughter's choices.
And now, at ten o 'clock in the morning Nadira is ready. She's a little nervous, of course. Again, she corrected the watch. Then went back through her straight and black hair which she accidentally touched today. While Dira intentionally cut her hair first, now all the way back up.
Her front hair takes a little bit and then she pushes back with a normal black hairpin. Simple, that's what she had in mind. Then her hand took the files she had collected together in a green folder.
Her footsteps moved out of the room and smiled at her parents in the living room. Rendra is not home, he's away for a lecture.
"Ready?" Ask Dipta.
Nadira nodded confidently. "Yes dad.. So, where will we meet with uncle Brahma?"
"At a Japanese food restaurant. He's got us a table set. So we'll just come by." Says Dipta.
"Let's go now." Said Dira with a big smile.
Meisya also smiled up to her daughter and stroked her little hair that dangled down her cheek. "You look just as beautiful as you are. Looks a lot like me when I was young. May your decisions be right, always be successful, my dear." Meisya kissed her on the cheek and hugged Nadira.
Dira chuckles small. "Mother.. Don't overdo it. Your daughter here is just gonna apply for a job. Not married. Don't kiss my cheek, it'll stain."
"I can't believe you've been thinking about work all day. And yet you're only twenty-one years old. You're very young." Meisya said, stroking her daughter's hair.
"Then let's go. Uncle Brahma is waiting there he said." Says dipta.
Dira nodded confidently.

Nadira's feet felt all light this time. Not even a heavy burden. Nadira was content with her decision and was willing to accept the risks while working.
"Hello Nadira.. How you doin'? You're getting more beautiful." Brahma said hello to Nadira. Brahma had been sitting in a seat of his own making.
Dira smiling. "I'm doing really well, uncle.. Thank you. How are you doing, too?"
"I'm in great condition too.. How? You ready to go to work?"
Nadira nodded in reply.
"But why didn't you join your father's company? Why did you choose to work in my company? It would be easier if you worked for your father's company." Said Brahma.
"At first I thought so, uncle. But I don't want to be too well known and respected by my father's employees if I work there. I'd like to be able to stand on my own, too. But I also realize that finding a job is not as easy as I thought it would be. And my father took me to uncle's. So, I was thinking I'd try to work in uncle's company."
Brahma nodded while hearing the explanation from Dira. "Is that so.. So, are you ready for me to put you in any position?" Said Brahma. "You don't mind if your daughter works at my place, dipta?" Said Brahma to Dipta.
Brahma was a bit worried that the protest would happen if his daughter would be placed in a position that was not an important member of the core company. Considering, Dira only took the college to the triple diploma.
Dipta nodded. "It's okay, Brahma. It's all on you. Now that I'm running all the while, I'm only here to see you. Either way, you two are your superiors or your inferiors. I won't press charges against my daughter's position."
Brahma nodded in understanding. "All right, Dira, you can start work next week on Monday. In the general section in the general administrative position about the company's data acquisition and expense. How?" Ask Brahma made sure.
Somehow while Dira liked the job immediately. And the girl nodded instantly. "Yes uncle, I like that position. It was not far from what I had learned in college either."
"Okay. And in that section office, you are to be my general secretary of honor. I'll introduce you to her on Monday. Because of the coincidence that the former employee had been discharged and her contract was exhausted." Said the Brahma.
Dira nodded in understanding. While Dipta drinks the hot tea he ordered.
"Also, in the position you hold, you should always be ready with all the data or files you are about to receive. You should always monitor the company's emails, because some employees will send mail information through you first. And also you must be prepared to receive any data or files that come in and must be distributed to all divisions on time yes. In your division office later, you can also get an intern to hand out daily documents. But if the paperwork goes up, you'll have to step in and distribute it to each division. Do you understand?"
"Yes. I understand enough, uncle."
"Well if you know how it works. I'm so glad you joined my company. Can I have your id?"
Dira nodded. The girl handed her a green folder containing her data file, and she gave it to Brahma.
"Okay. Uncle will confirm your data with my secretary. To get it approved directly through my secretary there immediately."
"Yes uncle. Thank you." said Dira with a smile.
"Haha, you're welcome. I hope you can adjust quickly there." Said Brahma happily.
"Thank you, Brahma. I've been trying to call off Dira in your company. Hopefully she'll make a good impression and a good career as well." Dipta said with pleasure.
"Yes, granted, relax. I'd be happy to help my own nephew. Let's order some food first." Said Brahma as a conclusion to this formal conversation.
Brahma was the younger brother of Dipta. They made up four brothers. Their oldest brother worked on the island of Sumatra. Dipta is the number two child. Whereas Brahma was the youngest. The number three child is a married woman, she accompanied her husband on the island of Java and is in the town of Semarang.
Be the only Dipta and Brahma still living in Jakarta. And here only the records occupy their original home. Home of their mother and father. The house of inheritance was taken down to the throne. While another inheritance also consisted of house and land. And that inheritance had, of course, been handed out to another Dipta brother.

"Ardi, so tonight you have plans?" Ask Akbar.
"I've got paperwork to process, Bar. Looks like I'll be working late.
Akbar little grunting at Ardian's answer. "I was hoping to take you to the movies. I want to take Dinda with me. You go with Karina."
"Next time I'll come with you. Now I'm busy." Ardian said, gazing at his laptop screen and occasionally sucking out the tea bottle he had bought.
"Well, I'll take Dinda anyway. When Karin comes, she will be alone there will be no one. My goal is to approach Dinda." Akbar spoke in a disappointed tone.
Ardian sighed a little and then closed the screen to the laptop. "Why do you always invite me out and you always throw me in Karina? Why don't you go hang out with Dinda?" The word Ardian protested Akbar.
Akbar furrowed his brow. "Why, you seem to protest at this time. Normally you would have accepted my invitation."
"I am tired, Bar." Answer ardian quickly.
"You're tired. why? Tired of liking Karina for not liking you?"
"Yes. You always know my answer."
Akbar patted his friend on the shoulder. "Listen to me, as long as there is no marriage in karina's name then you have many opportunities. Take it easy."
Ardian turned his head and smiled dismayed. "You don't feel like being me. I always knew what she was doing, where she was at, where she was sick or not, and I just... She was seeing anyone. I always knew all about Karina, Bar. But why didn't Karina see me at all? The answer is always the same. Karina says me like her brother. Karina says she and I are quite friendly." The word ardian brings out all his sighing.
Akbar nodded in understanding. "Yes, I know how you feel. But that love can't be forced, Ar.. maybe Karina can't like you as a man. Karina likes you as a friend. Never mind, you'll also find someone right later."
Ardian nodded in understanding.
"Come with me. It's break time. Let's just have lunch in the cafeteria.." invite Akbar in a friendly manner.
Ardian smiled and nodded, then cleaned up all his things and carried with him a dark brown backpack.
