Arriving at the residence of Mr. Boss, we are welcome to go inside. The boss and his Papa are looking forward to our arrival. Both of them sat on the living room couch. In turn they thanked us. But the boss sir is more than grateful to me, because I have helped him for a long time and have brought back Bu Purnama from the supernatural realm.
"As a thank you both will get a bonus for one year of work. And you're Rania, because of your work ethic and dedication to the company. I'll assign you as a permanent employee, who will get the same bonus as the old employee." Might as well as shake my hand and Wening.
I can only thank the boss, not expecting to have this much luck. From the tail of my eyes, I could see Wening's sinister smile as he looked at me. Suddenly I was choked to see his reaction, because I chose to pretend I didn't see him.
"What's your name?" Asked the boss to look at Wening.
"Sa I'm Wening Pak, intern at the office." Answer stuttering
"Because you've only been working for a month, so I can only add to your work time. You'll be on contract for the next year first. Don't worry about the employment contract, if you have the ability. We will definitely consider elevating your status as a full-time employee. So do not be discouraged, and keep the spirit of work. Thank you for helping us."
Wening just nodded his head with a slightly bent body. The boss immediately asked about the pet red kuntilanak Bu Kartika. He was worried if the demon was angry because his master was in prison, and would disturb his family. I'm just explaining for the time being that red's ability is still weakening. Maybe he's recuperating, and he won't bother you for a while. Especially without orders from the Master, after all, Bu Kartika is currently languishing in prison. While Mr. Sumitro who is in the village, is busy thinking about the prospective tumbal that will be presented to his buto ireng prayer. I don't think he's going to disturb this family. But suddenly Wening interrupted our conversation, saying he would make sure the red kuntilanak would not disturb the boss's family. I just took a deep breath, not because I felt rivaled by it. But his attitude was a bit disrespectful, interrupting our conversation. It appeared that Mr. boss was just smiling knots while nodding his head.
"My master happens to have some magic, he can take care of some demits like him sir. I will ask for a talisman from him, so that this family will not be disturbed by the red kuntilanak again. But I have to go back to the village to get that talisman. The problem is that I'm a new kid in your company, so I can't take time off anytime soon." Her impressions are blunt.
The boss had a discussion with his father, but they asked my opinion. Of course I don't know what to answer, because I don't actually believe in that kind of talisman. Except for the recitation of holy verses in its use. But I gave them back the decision. And now Wening is looking at me sharply. He didn't like my answer, based on the reaction he showed. It would seem that he doesn't like my opinion. I just shook my head, not expecting that I would see the original character of someone I just knew so quickly. So it seems like my hunch is right, Wening isn't as good as it looks. It is like having a dual personality, sometimes he becomes someone who is understanding. But on the other hand, he has another mask that he hides from others.
"alright. We'll let you know when we get a decision. Please return to your homes."
We retreated, and walked out of that luxurious Mansion. My feelings were mixed as soon as I saw Wening's original character. Maybe I should just keep my distance from him, because I don't want to have a problem with someone like him. Wening is a person who is full of ambition, and always wants to look superior. That was all I could catch after looking at it with my own eyes.
"And I'm hanging up to the roundabout busway stop HI huh?" Wening's chirps turned towards me.
"Okay, don't you want me to ante all over your boarding house? You're not here?" I said small-talk.
"While I live at a relative's house, ntar if it's payday next month. My plan was to find a hostel. Where are you kost?"
"Gue ngekost near the old city, I happen to be one hostel with Ma'am Ayu. We are walking now."
I drove the car through the heavy traffic of the Capital. Wening asked since when I used the office car facility. Because he only saw me as the one who used the facility.
"It's not long before Wen, it's only been a few weeks. Incidentally, the boss allowed me to use it, because at that time there were some things that I had to take care of quickly. Actually I want to go back, but we even use field work. I have to wear it again now."
"I think it's one of the privileges you get because you often help the Boss. Maybe I should be more active than you, so that I can get more privilege." Wening said as he leaned his head on the seat.
"Gue help the Boss not because you want to dapet privilege kok Wen. Incidentally he himself asked for help, where maybe I could refuse."
"Yes Wen, it's okay. As long as I can help, God willing I will help anyone in need. Even though it's demit though, because that's what the late Sewah taught me."
Wening only smiled from the corner of his lips while nodding his head. He asked me to pull the car away somewhere. Because he forgot something he had to bring.
"Gue forgot something that someone left behind in the office, get me down here aja deh Ran. I can go home by myself!"
"Lu's sure Wen doesn't want me to get to the office?"
"Thank you, you're okay!" He said he stopped a taxi that had just passed.
I just nodded my head and waved my hand. I called Silvia to ask her whereabouts.
"Hallooo! Rania... What a coincidence you phone! Li knows you don't seem like your best friend. Cook the toy car-mobilan that I bought to make adek me own flame. Petter must be the one playing with the cars!" Silvia across the phone.
I just laughed off hearing Silvia's complaint, because it was definitely Petter who played it. Usually if this night I haven't given him chocolate milk, Petter will play a lot of things. Especially there are toys, of course he will be happy to play it.
"Udah you put chocolate milk on the table. Ntar also Petter do not play in cars anymore. Trust me the same!"
"Seriously Ran? You didn't lie, did you? His intention is that he is here to take care of me, why am I the one who is afraid to try!"
"Take it easy Sil, his name is also a boy. He sleeps too, there's nyokapnya too kok there."
"Badly lu Ran! I thought there was only one ghost I saw. Don't know about her mother and her child? Make me parno aja you anyway, how can I sleep well if this is it!"
"It's okay, Sil, they're both good. Cook yes I hand you over to the evil ghost, you'll be my good temen. Yeah right?"
"Yes, I believe in you. If so I make the chocolate milk first yes, but you are horrifying the sound of the cars are still astonished right?"
"Hahaha yes-iya sono made her chocolate milk first. I'll close it first, if there's any call I'm Sil."
After ending that phone call, I continued on my way back to the boarding house. The moon shines only half, half of it is covered in dark clouds. I took a deep breath, because the long day I spent was exhausting. Especially when I have to adapt to an enigmatic new partner. I hope Wening isn't as bad as I thought, and it's just my gut feeling that I don't know him very well.
