CONFESSION STONED
166. Suketi Patience (Part 1)

Tini arrived at his office earlier than the others. He did not like it when Agus crossed the hall and circulated his gaze, but his boss found his desk empty. Early entry into work he was overwhelmed. His sleep clock is not clear, making him sleepy in the morning. Seeing the cold water in the bathtub was like seeing a fire. But that was a few months ago. Now he's used to waking up earlier than a rooster.

The sound of a knock on Agus' leather shoes on the floor had been heard from a distance. Tini pretended to look down so busy that there was no need to reprimand Agus. But there is no harm. But Tini as much as possible to avoid being sweet to her boss. Tini just feels awkward.

“Tini, you come with me to the room. Bring a report about new customers you follow up.” Agus' voice echoed in the small room where Tini's desk was located.

There's no way Agus could talk to anyone else. The one named Tini in that room was just him. Tini who was pretending to tidy up the paper in her drawer, immediately showed her head to the table and immediately nodded. He grabbed a map containing data of prospective customers who were almost a week in prospectnya but have not produced results.

Along his way to Agus' room, Tini imagined what Agus had told him. The cherry-picked man who was at times extremely cruel put out words at the subordinates. It was different with her, he thought. It is only fitting that this old man is not married. Which normal male until the age of 35 has not found a suitable female.

Choose sugarcane, maybe later only get the pulp.

Tini pursed her lips while throwing a cynical look at the back of Agus who was walking in front of her.

Not to mention, Tini had already formed a defensive fortress inside his head. Preparing the heart will be the most painful thing if Agus gets angry.

“Where are the customer reports I submitted to you? How's it progressing?” Agus put down his laptop bag and reached out to Tini to ask for the map.

Tini. “No news Sir, I was asked to wait a few days.” Tini put her hand in front. The establishment looked up at the map that was being opened Agus.

“Slowly so you. This certainty can take days. Veni and Indi can definitely close in a few hours aja.”

Tini took a breath.

“If anyone can close in a few hours, why wait for me for days. Haah, it doesn't make sense.”

Tini replied to Agus's words in her heart. His head remained lowered looking at the link of his fingers.

“This is an insurance company. We have to have a target. The company has a target. You also have to have a target. Normal people have a target. Career targets, targets for families, educational targets.”

“Death is not all targeted when?” cibir Tini in heart. He's still down.

“You I sold a bigger company. For you also Tin. Veni and Indi senior even I can take over The Term, Heru company. That's not a lot of employees. I'm going to get you bigger. Yesterday they met Heru directly.”

Tini straightened her head looking at Agus.

“What? Veni met Heru? If the number of employees is only 10 people why not just me who holds The Term? Heru must have signed it. I don't need a late-afternoon prospect of debt. Very nice Gus.." lamented Tini in heart.

“Veni it's deft. You must be able to kayak him,” said Agus.

“Udah like my father who is a hobby banding-banding me with a neighbor's son,” annoyed Tini in heart.

“So when can I get certainty?” ask Agus at last.

Tini bit her lip. Agus asked for certainty about purchasing an insurance policy for a franchise hotel based abroad. Pursuing the hotel's chief financial officer has made him feel like a lunatic this week.

“I have met with the head of finance Sir, just waiting for the free time General Manager J.M Warriot wants to see me.”

“Yes already, followed up. I wait a week at most. Next week you lead the briefing on your team. You can definitely Tin. Let you also understand that life must be serious. There is no place for soft people who can't work. Understand you?” Agus looked sharply at Tini.

Tini nodded without looking at Agus. For some reason, his heart hurt. Should he accept such sharp words? Didn't Agus know he's been trying his maximum this week. Every day he slept only 4 hours. Even dreaming he could not.

With a slow step Tini out of Agus' room. He was busy calling the General Manager of the hotel. The answer is just ‘I've already told you, Mr. Omaar will be in touch soon.’.

Even Tini has gone to places that he feels will be able to meet with Mr. Omar. But the result is nil. Tini moody. Go home to the chicken coop with a lethargic face. Asti's greeting, Boy and Mak Robin just passed by in his ear.

It has been three days since Agus' diomeli incident. He went and came home from work like a zombie. His roar was not excited due to his deadline any minute now.

The one who initially led the briefing was considered Tini as a threat, it was not. Agus actually asked him to lead his team briefing in two days.

Tini was sitting in front of her room with a plastic chair. His hands clasped several sheets of paper that he scribbled many times to add or reduce the content of the speech.

“What's the first thing?” tanya Asti just came over to Tini and sat in front of her. There's no one. Just the two of them.

Mak Robin is busy measuring the length of the highway with his new motorcycle. While Boy was in the shophouse preparing for the opening of a new outlet.

“I again nyiapin bearer briefing for my team two days longer As. But if I give up, I'm ashamed. I do not want to worry about Heru who has been hard-earned to recommend me. I'm just a high school graduate so I need to know myself.” Tini flicked the paper in her hand then lowered her head back to take notes.

“I have the material. Here again I put his words together. I can't possibly see the cheat. During this time that brings a briefing can poult outside the head.” Tini's still down.

“Tini Mbak's writing is good yes. Similar writing in his letters Kartini,” Asti.

Tini straightened her body looking at Asti. “You can entertain me. But don't stress me out any more. Don't make my burden heavier by comparing my writing to Kartini even though our last name is the same.”

“Mbak Tini is also a female fighter. A warrior for his own life. Kartini small scale,” said Asti nyengir.

Tini flicked her finger at Asti's forehead who was still smilingly looking at her.

“Working in the Heru mas office is fun?” ask Asti. He asked that while continuing his writing.

“Assyc. Wiggling mas Bara and mas Heru from afar it feels different. Especially if there is a meeting. I ‘kan advertising division. Frequent meetings with mas Bara. Worrying about Bara brought the meeting, I sometimes did not think he used to be a lazy afternoon in the chicken coop.” Asti chuckles.

“Not suspect that Bara used to be a rooster in the cage here yes.” added Tini also chuckled. Then he was silent. “Hopefully we can overtake the Colored kayak. I also want to sit at home there are shopping. No getting angry at the office.” Tini. His tears were welling up but he did not raise his head.

Asti silently looked at Tini who was trying to hide lara and her pent-up heartache.

“Mbak Tini definitely can. Everything has its time. Now we're in the process of getting there. Everyone's path is different. Mbak Sejah faster to get there is also a reason. Maybe the one that got colonized through heavier than us.”

Asti gently massaged Tini's shoulder which was still lowered on the paper.

“Iya As. As a friend, I am happy to see my friend happy. Maybe I'm just tired again,” said Tini then remove her tears that fell on the paper. “Nice I know I haven't spoken in front of a crowd. Sometimes I feel like he's trying to embarrass me. The reason is for my mental. For what mental? That's an insurance company or military barracks?” Tini finally cried.

"Inget Mbak.. street of each person is different.." entertain Asti.

"I'm a long way off. Muters are not clear" said Tini.

“Sabar Mbak Tini..” said Asti stroked his friend's shoulder.

“I've been patient As.. If I can't wait, I burned his office.” Tini wiped the tears with the end of her shirt sleeve.

“Yes already, we make the same material briefing. Later Mbak Tini can poultice slowly. Whereabouts? I want to see,” said Asti took a paper that was half wet with tears.

After reading the thing written by Tini, Asti's eyes half wide. “How good is this, it's good Ma'am... Learn where to make this?” ask Asti.

“From the briefings-briefing during this time,” replied Tini.

“Yes already, Ma'am Tini hapal... read-read,” pinta Asti again thrust the paper on Tini.

“I still lack the courage to bring a briefing,” said Tini.

“But it is impossible to ask for help mbak Digah.” Asti chuckles.

*****

The briefing that Tini will bring is like a punishment that will soon begin.

Agus had arrived at the office since then and Tini was getting lazy to look at his boss's face.

Everyone had gathered in the meeting room and Tini's hands were already shaking and dampened by sweat while holding the mic.

Asti had comforted Tini, saying that what she wrote was good. But it wasn't enough to boost Tini's confidence that morning.

Veni and Indi are also neat and beautiful as usual. Agus' beloved marketing sales are always flexible and supple. Tini took a breath. Dozens of people in the meeting room were waiting for him to speak.

Tini was standing on her back against a large projector screen. A few steps away from him, Agus sat crossed arms in front of his chest and looked at him.

That day, Tini will not forget how the faces of people who seem to underestimate him throw a gaze. After clearing her throat slowly, Tini raised her mic.
