Just a little break
The Horror Story of the New Office

It's my first day working for a second company since I graduated from college. An office engaged in the rental trade of mobl. The shape of my workplace is a semi-office. Many unused spaces and surrounding areas are still many trees and puddles of water that are formed like swamps.

On this first day I was assigned to avoid the absence, or rather, ask for confirmation from the supervisors of each department for the absence of its staff. The goal is for me to get to know the employees faster and the places for each department. Moreover, I am an HRD person.

My second office is very spacious, because I am located in the head office, not in a branch like my office used to be. After touring the operational, finance, IT, and asset departments.  Now it's my turn to ask for confirmation from the supervisor in the marketing department.

The marketing room is located on the first floor. The room was quite large, but dark. I don't know what made it so dark. I noticed that there were quite a lot of lights there. I walked towards the entrance to the marketing room, but before it was right in front of the entrance.

There is a small room, but it looks quite neat and comfortable. Looks like the room was used for a small meeting room. Because in it I saw there were some people, emmm exactly six, ohh not seven people. There was a beautiful young woman with sharp eyes, black hair as the base of the neck, yellow clothes coated with black blazer and was pregnant. Sit on the left side of the projector used for the presentation.

I walked out of the room and began to enter the marketing room to ask the supervisor for confirmation about the absence of staff. It turns out that after entering, the room is quite comfortable and the people are also friendly and polite. I have to put my respect on them.

The marketing section has. Now I have to go back to the second floor, to ask for confirmation in the purchasing section, because it had been missed by me. This part of the purchasing is very unusual, he is located in the very corner of this office, and right outside there is a swamp that is still very many trees and grass.

I entered the room, a very cold room. But not with his people. The people were very friendly and warm, but in the room I somehow felt like I had seen one of them. A beautiful young woman with sharp eyes, black hair as the base of the neck, in yellow dress coated with a black blazer and was pregnant.

Sitting in the corner of the room was staring out the window, which was directly outside the view of the swamp. I looked at him seriously, even getting out of the room. This guy wasn't in the meeting room? I keep thinking about it. Maybe he had a twin brother. But, why the clothes and circumstances of being pregnant are so similar. Is that just a coincidence?

Ahh, stop. If you keep thinking about it, it will interfere with the concentration on my work, better forget it. There are a lot of other things I have to do. Two weeks have passed since I joined the company. I am still in charge of asking for confirmation of absence to the supervisors for the absence of the staff, because in the department we have not got interns who can be given the task.

It's Monday. The day that is hated by some people, because it is on this day that all kinds of activities and routines are restarted for the next week. A little different from me, I started today with the usual feeling and spirit, because there was no special plan. Not too excited, not too saggy either.

By late afternoon I took the time to start asking for confirmation to the supervisors in each department. This time there are only two files, which must be signed by the supervisor in the relevant derpatment as a sign of confirmation of the absence of staff. Marketing and purchasing.

Better get to the marketing department first, I thought. There must be a file I need to get there. I started walking towards the room, I walked towards the entrance to the marketing room, but before it was right in front of the entrance. I passed a small meeting room. I saw some people meeting in it.

Then, like some time before. Again I saw a beautiful young woman with sharp eyes, black hair as the base of the neck, yellow in black blazer and pregnant. Sitting on the left side of the projector used for the presentation of the meeting.

I immediately took my eyes off the room and headed for the marketing room to carry out one of my duties. I don't pay much attention to it. Because focus on work, let it settle quickly. After I finished and took the important files that I had to take there, I now rushed back to go to the shopping room.

I went back through the meeting room, and I saw the woman was still there. Upon my arrival in the purchasing room, I immediately asked the department supervisor for an autograph about the absence of his staff. I was surprised to find that once again the woman was already in this room.

Being in the corner of the room was looking at the computer in front of him.  This incident is the same as the one two weeks ago, the clothes he wore are also the same. Who exactly is he?

I, who was burning with curiosity, intended to check this peculiarity. I then walked out of the room, to confirm the woman's presence in the meeting room next to the marketing room. I slowly watched her from the outside behind the thick glass of the room. Yes, that woman exists.

The common thing I noticed was the file in front of each of the meeting participants. Because in general the person who meets it must bring the necessary files. But this woman did not, she did not bring anything and the same as the one in the buying room earlier.

He was silent, he did not mingle and communicate with others. Even employees in this meeting room also consider it like nothing. I became more curious as to who he really was, unconsciously my footsteps drew closer to the meeting room. But I kept trying to keep my distance from that space. Not to interrupt the meeting.

I stopped my steps and looked around me, took a breath, lowered my head and slowly I began to focus on watching the woman. I could not believe the woman was staring at me while gently rubbing her pregnant belly. She smiled with eyes glaring at me.

Then what made me want to scream was when he kept glaring at me while turning his head 360 degrees backward and then back forward. Oh my God, am I dreaming or not? Imagining or not? It feels like everything is real at this time.

It's been my fourth week working here. There are many dynamics of life that I have been through. Starting from the one who makes this self weak, to the one who makes this self want to show my true abilities.

I've not circulated the confirmation of absence again because there is already an intern who is doing it, and it should also not be my duty.

In the middle of the month, on Thursday. I have a lot of work, and it looks like I'll be home late again today. The morning was cloudy and wet because it was rained overnight, the afternoon was covered with a harmonious singing atmosphere from the rain water stub. Then the cold night and the bad again. So gripping.

I also don't know why I suddenly felt that gripping feel. Because it rains all day. Or because now is Jum’at night?

It's 18:00 suddenly I want to have a bowel movement. Maybe because at lunch I ate too much sambal plus the weather was also very cold. It's been hard to resist, I finally rushed to the toilet on the first floor. To land some of my warplanes.

It just so happened that the toilet was empty too, so I just went in and started my action. Haffhh, lemaa. I am finally free. But, it seems like I peed long enough too. I have to hurry to go home. However, before that I had to clean up the rest of my actions.

After I finished everything, I tidied myself up a little, mirroring washing my hands and tidying my hair. I also came out of the bathroom. I climbed the stairs leading to the second floor to go to my room again. Just as I was climbing the fifth step I saw my supervisor coming down the stairs and carrying his bag like a man who wanted to go home, but his face was pale. We passed by and I greeted him, “Mommy's Night. Want to go home?” ask him.

There was no reply from my supervisor he just fell silent and passed me by as if I was just a frozen, cold yet lifeless thing. I kept watching him as he started to climb down the next step of the stairs, I was glued to that thought. Is it possible that you are sick or upset with me for too long in the bathroom?

When I wanted to step on the last step that went up, I looked down again to see my supervisor, because I was still wondering why he was silent when I greeted him earlier. When my mind was floating thinking about it, suddenly my shoulder was patted on my shoulder while saying, “Eii bengong aja on the stairs, will fall loo.”

I looked towards the origin of the voice that was patting my shoulder. It turned out that the one who patted it was my supervisor he smiled at me while saying goodbye to today. “Mother go home first. See you tomorrow. Daahh,” said.

I could only smile and nod, and try to say the word, “Iyaa,” which I felt was barely audible at the time. Then the next day. I immediately filed a resignation letter in my new office.
