Oh Arunika
Chapter 13
Arunika is very grateful because the big problems that burden her mind and mind have been resolved by the intervention of Bu Ranti.
The woman who still looks beautiful at her young age is like an oasis in the desert that provides relief for Aru and also her mother. They saved their lives at the right time.
Aru is also more grateful because Bu Ranti asked herself and also Mother to stay with him. The reason is because the house is too big to live alone. And also so that Aru does not have to bother thinking about the rent house payment again. It is very kind to the widow who has been left dead by her husband, right?
From this incident Aru got a lesson. Whatever problems come whack, he should not save or try to solve them himself. Sharing the burden with the closest people is the most appropriate solution so that the burden can be overcome together.
“Aru left, yes, Mom,” said to Aru while grabbing her mother's hand and kissing her solemnly. Today until the next week he is in the night shift. “Mother goes to sleep. No need to do anything else, all the work is done.
If later the cough relapses and does not stop immediately taking the drug. The cure was there,” pointed it at a small table beside their bed. Her mother has been coughing lately. If Aru had the money, he would not think twice about taking his mother to the doctor. Now he could only afford medicine at the stall.
“Iya, I already know the cure there. You've reminded me more than 10 times. You are so chatty!” mother exclaimed by pinching her daughter's cheek. The one who was pinched just chuckled. Mother's wrinkled hands then moved to touch some of her favorite child's hair tendrils and tidied them behind the ears. “You be careful on the road.”
“Iya, Mum.” Aru nodded then stood up and grabbed the bag containing provisions made by his mother. “Aru must leave now, Mom, afraid late. See you tomorrow.”
Nita's mother took her to the back door of her employer's house and returned the wave of her beloved daughter's hand.
“May your future be filled with happiness, Son,” softly with dewy eyes staring at the back of the princess who has begun to wiggle her bike towards the gate of the mansion.
If in general the night is the time used by most people to sleep, rest the body and mind because the day is tired with its activities. However, Arunika is grateful for the work she is doing at this time even though her working hours are changing alias in-shift.
“Aduh, his lawyer,” complained Aru's friend who was one part with the girl. His friend sat together while kneeling his calves.
Whose feet do not ache if you have to stand and sometimes also have to run for approximately 8 hours. Arunika and her friends who work in the guard section of the yarn production machine experience it.
They must have nimble hands and feet to reconnect the broken thread. Their eyes should also be observant to see if any threads are broken or not. Not to mention their eyes should focus on seeing the red light that indicates the thread should already be ‘dipanen’.
There are 144 red buttons in each production machine, which means Arunika and her friend produce 144 rolls of yarn per 3 hours. Each 1 roll weighs 2-3 kg.
If the red button comes out a lot, a sign that the yarn stops rolling, then surely the production quantity will go down. And operators who bear the production machines will be given verbal reprimands or even warning letters.
Piket is the person in charge of ‘staking’ employees who are lazing, joking and playing communication tools such as mobile phones while still working hours. The picket is like a ghost, it can appear from anywhere. If one is found as above, the toughest penalty is PHK, or the sanction is in accordance with the violation committed.
“Kak is not tired?” aru's friend asked as they walked towards the cafeteria. They just had an oper shift which means their work time is over. It's time they went home.
Aru smiled at his tired face. “Later you are also used to it. Enjoy it.”
Aru's friend is a new kid. He has only been working 2 weeks. And the Head of the Squad asks Aru to teach him until he can.
“Kak, have a look there!” The finger of his friend Aru leads to the canteen. The room in addition to a place to eat and store bags, is also often used as a meeting room. “It's not our Kabag, yes?”
Arunika's forehead was wrinkled to make sure the person her friend had appointed. And Aru confirmed that the person who walked almost to the door of the canteen was indeed the Kaabag along with some of his staff.
Usually, if the Kabag comes to his subordinates directly in the canteen, there is a very important thing that will be conveyed. It is usually held in the afternoon after the morning shift. But it's still 6 in the morning.
“Quick! Fast!”
Kashift, the Foreman, and the Squad Head gave instructions for his subordinates to move quickly towards the canteen. Aru who was still confused, unabated also accelerated his pace.
Beside the canteen door, there were some people who distributed masks and asked to be used immediately. Arunika does not need to accept the mask. Because since he worked in this factory, he has used a mask to dispel cotton or other small objects so as not to be inhaled.
After Kashift, the Foreman and the Head of the Squad made sure his subordinates had all gathered in the cafeteria, an impromptu meeting began.
The employees heard greetings from their Headquarters, then the number one person in their department asked to wear a mask properly, keeping a distance between employees with each other. At least they don't have anyone touching.
Then their Headmaster began to make a speech about the virus that is ravaging the world today. And because of the virus that lately many workers are licensed because of contracting the virus.
“... In fact, there have been 7 of our friends who died from this virus. In accordance with the government's recommendations, with heavy hearts this company must stop its production until an unspecified time. For a while we kept silent in our respective homes to break the chain of this virus.”
