The Sign of Love

The Sign of Love
One Misadventure


The sour-faced man looked at the cynical Relina Hayati, who stood up nervously. He was deliberately called into the room only to be dismissed from his job. Although, there is no significant reason to fire Relina, but Junda Aswara still did it. He is just showing his existence, as a company leader who has full rights, to the fate of his employees.


Actually this dismissal is because Junda was upset and suddenly did not like this girl. A few days ago, he felt unlucky to be half dead and the cause was because of Relina. According to him, it was the girl who had made him unable to leave the house for days.


The girl looked simple, far from interesting words, even impressed ancient. Junda judged it so, just like the assessment of Shalu, his friend and secretary, who said that ordinary girls.


She always wears long clothes and skirts, which is just that. His hair was as straight as a shoulder, his skin was neither white nor brown, his eyes and eyebrows and nose were proportionate as most other women, the arrangement of his face according to the design of the Creator. One that was a little interesting from the girl, the lips that had the tip curved upwards, as if she was always smiling even though she was crying.


"Sit down" said Junda.


Relina obeyed the order while staring at Junda at a glance, worry clearly visible on her face. Their positions were facing each other, with a work desk large enough to be the distance between the two of them.


"You know, why did I call you here?" Junda's voice sounded cold and cold.


The atmosphere of the room with AC, felt cooler with the presence of Shalu who suddenly entered the room. The two people, were Relina's superiors, the ones who determined the fate of their company. Of course, even lowly servants like himself had their fate in their hands.


During this time, Relina worked as a secretary assistant, in the room Syalu, more precisely in the archives and company documents.


Relina shook her head, "No, sir," she replied as she squeezed her own hands, thinking badly of her fate this time.


Junda hates him just like that, after a few days ago, he accidentally met Relina and the girl managed to make her hands swollen stung by wild beetles in the city park. He could not do the activity as usual, for several days, even until now the pain was still felt.


"You I fired!" Junda said as he thrust a brown envelope at the girl, who was stunned to hear his decision. "You can leave right now, here's your letter of dismissal."


"But why, sir. What was my mistake?" Relina asked with a look of surprise and disappointment. As he remembered, he never made a big mistake during his work. When it's just a small mistake, all the employees have done it too and they're all fine.


"Nothing .. but the company is undergoing a staffing overhaul, so we selected some employees who are not as needed," junda said as he stood to the side of the table and tucked his hands in his pants pocket.



Junda's reply that seemed careless made Relina smile wryly, she felt sad if it turned out to be an unneeded employee. What he did in the room was overwhelming and exhausting. It is not easy to organize each document and group it according to the type, day and date, along with all the completeness in full. All of this requires precision.


Shalu smiled obliquely at the reality that was happening before him. He stood beside the table carrying a document he needed. She was glad the girl who made herself worry about it, was about to leave her office.


How not to worry, Syalu know if it turns out that Relina has the same birthmark that Junda has. Shalu actually liked Junda, but his family, especially his grandmother, who still believes in myths or superstitions, made him not warty. Junda's parents, only allowing his son, married a woman who had the same birthmark as him.


"Where, Yes. It's all right, right? My subordinate I fired?" Ask Junda, looking towards Shalu.


Shalu nodded with a smile, "it doesn't matter, he's your employee as well. You have the right to fire him" he said.


Hearing the conversation of the two people, Relina took a deep breath, while closing her eyes, taking the air of the office room for the last time.


"Alright, then, I'll excuse you, and apologize for all my mistakes during this time," Rally replied calmly, taking the letter of her dismissal which was on the table.


Relina left after bowing respectfully to Junda and Shalu. As a subordinate who had no connections or high titles, he couldn't argue anymore, though, completely feeling like he didn't make any meaningful mistakes.


While cleaning the workbench from her personal belongings, Relina's memory wandered a few days ago, accidentally met with Junda in City Square, near the park Panghegar quite lush trees.


Relina was exercising, doing the habit in the morning when not working, on weekends. Many people do the same activities as themselves, such as healthy walking, or other things. Most people prefer to relax or spend time with their family. Maybe the same thing he would do if he was married and had children.


Already a moment ago, Relina finished her little sport running around the park. Now he sits on one of the benches. He looked up to down the mineral water from the bottle he was carrying, at which time he saw a small snake wrapped around one of the twigs of the dangling tree. Simultaneously, he saw Junda who just happened to be standing right below him.


"Sstt ...." The girl placed her index finger on her lips, gesturing to Junda who was exercising, so that the man would not move or stay still.


Initially Junda was surprised, seeing a strange-looking girl approaching while sneaking around. He did not recognize her, until he finally realized that the girl was one of the employees in his office. They did not meet so often while working, making them not so familiar, but he knew Relina was a member of Shalu, his secretary.


Of course Junda did not want to obey him, he continued to exercise. Why silence, he thought. The girl glared, without any warning to him and pulled Junda down. Jana was about to brush off Relina's hand from her wrist because she thought Relina was disrespectful.


As he moved that hand, it suddenly felt hot and painful like being stabbed by a sharp object, touching the skin on the elbow. He looked over and there was a bee stinging him.


When you see the city park filled with trees and a variety of ornamental plants that are large enough, the presence of beetles or bees like that, is very reasonable.


The girl patted him on the shoulder and said slowly, "Sir, that's why I said shut up, let's not bite this beetle."


"Damn ...." Mumbled Junda annoyed. His elbows felt pulsating, as if they were rained down by thousands of needles.


Relina grabbed Junda's hand and pulled out the sting of the honey bee that was still attached to the skin of his elbow with a small towel that was used to wipe sweat.


"You, what a slob!" Said Junda at that time, as he got up from the ground and brushed off Relina's hand violently.


"Eh, I'm sorry, sir."


Without caring about the pain and Relina, Junda stepped away.


Relina followed him standing up as she said, "Sir, wait. It should be quickly treated with ...." Rally's speech was interrupted.


"Enough! I can do it myself!" junda kettus.


Relina was silent, unable to do anything more. He only saw Junda's wide back moving away. Actually he wanted to say if he wanted to get his swelling to subside immediately, then he had to immediately compress the scar of the sting, with warm water and then polish it with palm sugar. That's according to the instructions of ancient parents.


A few days later Junda was not seen in his office. That shock made Relina pull a common thread that, it is likely that it became the basis of the drama of her dismissal for no reason.


So, is it because of that? He thought, but if it was true, he now knew that his boss was a vengeful man. Relina was very upset that she hoped she would not see Junda again after this, even though they still lived in the same city.


Very honeybees can be used for some disease therapy, for those who believe it. According to some sources, wild honeybees will only sting problematic parts of the human body. That is if humans disturb the nest.


There is a wise word, which says that the human should live like a honeybee, he took the essence of the flower without damaging the flower, the flower, then keep what he has taken in a high and safe place such as in the tops of trees. After his savings were collected, he was willing to give all his useful possessions just for humans. That is honey, a drink that is very good for the health of anyone who lives in the world.


******


A few days later.


Relina was walking down the side of the city street that morning, excitedly. He was carrying a basket containing some small meals, which he made himself at the boarding house. He tried his luck by selling in front of the elementary school not far from where he lived.


When that shadow figure suddenly, passing in front of him, he was a little boy who ran towards the highway, even though the road was quite crowded.


"Hey!" Relina shouted loudly, while chasing after the child and reflexively left her wares just like that on the sidewalk.


Then, there was a powerful car horn sound telling each other, along with Relina who managed to catch the child, then as quickly as possible he took the child, running, but fateful he fell, and then fell, until he rolled onto the sidewalk opposite him.


"Akh ....!" The screech is hard while grimacing.
