The Long Distance Relationship
Part 8's
Time goes by so fast. Without feeling it has been a month Rania worked in the dining hall Jaya Makmur. Although Rania often gets very bad treatment from her supervisor, but Rania does not give up. Rania always remembers her mother's message telling her to be patient with all hardships. And as long as he stands on the truth, mother tells him to keep fighting and not to be afraid. That was why little by little, Rania began to dare to fight against her supervisor named Aning.
Rania also tells her friends to fight Aning if they are right. But none of his friends dared to refute Aning. Only Rania can fight him. As well as the male workers, they were all afraid of Aning. Aning always threatened to fire anyone who dared to fight him. While Rania, despite fears of being fired because she dared to go against her supervisor, she still did. Rania did it solely because she was right.
During this month, Rania has never met with Mr. Soni Wijaya. Mr. Soni who according to his coworkers is very handsome and also good. Rania also began to feel curious about what Mr. Soni Wijaya was like. According to the stories of his friends, Mr. Soni rarely go to food stalls. Only occasionally came to check the state of his food stall.
"Why haven't I met Mr. Soni in a month? Though the word Susi and also the Goddess he came several times." Rania said in her heart.
Being preoccupied with her thoughts that are still not aware of her meeting with Mr. Soni Wijaya, Rania even ignored her friends who were inviting her to speak.
"Rania, what problem are you having? I was asked to be quiet." Susi said while patting Rania on the shoulder.
"It's nothing, he he he he." Rania replied while scratching her non-itchy head.
"Then why were you silent. Or don't think about your boyfriend anymore." God Goddess.
"Astaughfirullah's. I don't think about anything, I don't have a boyfriend either." Replied Rania blushed in embarrassment.
"Why are you quiet?" Susi Timpal.
"Oh that, I'm curious about Mr. Soni Wijaya. As long as I've been here I've never met him. What's the guy like?" Rania answered innocently.
Instead of answering Rania's question, Susi and Dewi laughed out loud. They did not think that this one friend was still not aware of his meeting with their superiors, Mr. Soni Wijaya. Rania was astonished by her friends, why they were laughing so hard. Satisfied with laughing, Susi explained that the handsome man who had met Rania several times was Mr. Soni Wijaya, their superior. Susi and Dewi had seen Rania talking to Mr. Soni. That's why they laugh out loud. Rania was stunned to hear the words of her friend. Rania was also embarrassed because all this time the person she admired was her own boss, Mr. Soni Wijaya.
Rania admires the man who turns out to be her own boss from the first time she met him accidentally. Rania was immediately reminded of the words of her supervisor when she was persecuted by her supervisor. It is fitting that Aning's brother all-out hit him at that time. So the handsome man he admired was Mr. Soni Wijaya. Rania became increasingly curious about the relationship between the two of them and asked these things to her friends.
"By the way, what is the relationship between Aning and Mr Soni anyway?" Ask Rania suddenly.
Susi and Dewi looked at each other.
"So, the incident at that time, when you were persecuted by Mr. Aning because of Mr. Soni?" Susi said, asking back.
"Yes, but at that time I still did not know that the man was Mr. Soni Wijaya." Rania replied with a heavy sigh. Both of his friends nodded their heads in understanding.
"Lantas, what's their relationship?" Rania asked again with curiosity.
"Listen, Aning's brother has been taking heart with Mr. Wijaya since they were in college." Bright Goddess.
"But mbak Aning always dicuekin with Mr. Soni. I've seen them talk both. But Mr. Soni doesn't seem to care about him." Susi explained.
"If I think that's the case, Mr. Soni's treatment of Aning's brother is inversely proportional to Mr. Soni's treatment of you, Ran." The Goddess at length.
The conversation continued until they forgot that the night was getting late. When they realized, they immediately rushed to find a taxi to return to their homes. Likewise with Rania, he immediately climbed when there was a taxi that stopped after Rania stopped him. Rania was relieved on her way home. Because otherwise, his cousin would have been very worried about him.
Today the restaurant closed early because all the existing cuisine is not left. That's why all employees can go home early. But, Rania and her two friends went for dinner first before returning home. They eat and talk about everything from work to personal matters. Joking around with people who care about each other is very difficult to do. Because of work demands that require them to work until the night without adequate rest.
That is the risk that must be lived by everyone who works in a food stall or restaurant. When other people rest and can eat lunch freely, they even work to serve food for others. While they, the waitresses, only have a few minutes to spend their food. What a huge time difference between company employees and waitresses.
Rania flinched from the daydream when the taxi she was riding in suddenly stopped. He noticed the driver who went straight out to see the situation. Without being told, Rania came out. Out of curiosity, Rania also ventured to ask the driver.
"Why the car, sir?" Ask Rania politely.
"It's neng, the tires are deflated." Answer the driver.
"How do you feel sir? My house is still far away sir." Lightly Rania was worried.
"Then take another taxi." Answer the driver.
"Keep father how?" Ask Rania again.
"Neng doesn't have to worry about me. I'm okay with neng." Answer the driver politely.
Rania finally approved the driver's proposal to find another taxi. Rania also did not forget to pay for the taxi she was riding earlier. Despite being rejected by the driver, Rania still gives her taxi wage. Because Rania knows very well, there are people who love the driver who is waiting for her to come home with money. Just like him, there was his family in the village who wished him a lot.
Rania walked to a bus stop located not far from the taxi she was riding earlier. He's waiting for a taxi that might be passing by here. But no taxis passed. Rania began to fidget, because it has been almost 30 minutes yet there are no taxis that mewat. While time continues to roll into the night. Rania was about to contact her cousin when suddenly a luxury car stopped in front of her.
"Rania! Is that really you, Rania?" Ask someone from the car.
Rania turned her head towards the source of the voice, a voice she was very familiar with.
"Sir Soni? Why is your dad here?" Ask Rania wonder.
"I happen to be passing by here and see you're here. Come in yuk, I'll take you home." Said Mr. Soni.
"But sir...." Rania said it was interrupted because Mr. Soni had already pulled his arm to get into the car.
"No rejection, okay? It's orders. And even though it's late at night, it's not good for girls to be out alone at night." Bright Mr. Soni.
Rania can only resign with the words of her superiors. After all, he was also very frightened earlier. Luckily there was Mr. Soni Wijaya who happened to pass through here, so Rania could go home soon. Along the way back to Rania's house, more precisely the boarding house of her cousin, they exchanged stories. Without Rania noticing, her heartbeat had already started to be irregular when talking to her superior. I don't know what happened to him today, his heart was racing faster and faster.
