Hari ini Pak Boss Besar (si Papih) tiba di Jakarta khusus ketemu dengan gw untuk membicarakan mengenai keputusan gw mengundurkan diri. Bukannya gw ke ge-eran tapi malah sebaliknya deg degan setengah mati. Rasanya udah baca Al-Fatihah tiga kali. Sedari pagi perut mules walopun gw berlagak tegar di depan temen-temen hehehe.
Sejak kemarin Pak Boss Ketjil dan Pak Manajer udah sibuk ngasih tau ke gw Talking Points yang mesti disampaikan ke Papih. Pesan-pesan aspiratif untuk memperbaiki kesejahteraan karyawan di perusahaan ini yang herannya mereka nggak sanggup katakan langsung kepada Pak Boss Besar. Kasiaaan deh loe! They are hiding behind my skirt. Malah Pak Manajer kabur ke Singapore meninggalkan gw hari ini untuk menghadapi Papih sendirian. Huaaaa! Awas ye loe pada...
So siang tadi, Papih ngajak makan siang di Pepenero. Jujur aja gw nggak selera makan karena udah keburu senewen. Akhirnya pesen tuna salad dan lemon juice. Selama makan siang kita ngobrol-ngobrol tentang berbagai hal but mostly about our family and kids. By the end of the meal the feeling is lighter and he initiated the conversation that we have been avoiding for the past few hours.
He's ready with his pen and paper to jot down whatever my complaints are that he will commit to make amends. Explaining from A to Z the many opportunities that he wants to offer me including working in Singapore for 6 months. He also apologized and admit it was his mistake that made me unhappy.
I just smiled and replied:
Gw: I didn't say I am not happy
Papih: Really? Then why do you want to leave?
Gw: Because I had to. I've been with this Company for fourteen years. I have to move or else I will lose my soul.
Papih: You can work in Singapore for 6 months for a change
Gw: (menggeleng) I need a new environment, new people to work with. I want to graduate from this company. Its about time don't you think?
Papih: Nothing can change your mind?
Gw: (menggeleng lagi) I'm sorry Pak..But please please give me your blessings. I really need that.
Papih: (bengong) Not even double your salary?
Gw: (nyengir sambil geleng geleng) No..its not about the money.
Hening sejenak (gw ngaduk ngaduk tuna)
Hening sejenak (gw ngaduk ngaduk tuna)
Papih: Well..you got to do what you got to do. I'm sad thought and I don't know what to say. Can I call you back in 6 months time? (masih usaha)
Gw: hahaha..I can't promise anything
Papih: Ok..I understand. (muka sedih) I can't think of how life in the office would be without you around?
Gw: (terharu juga sih) It wouldn't be that bad..you'll get used to it in a few months
Hening lagi...(kali ini rada lama dan gw sendiri bingung mau ngomong apa)
Papih: I'll send the car to pick you up in 6 months time hahaha!
Gw: Hahaha...

Gw: Hahaha...
So that's how the story ended friends. Peacefully and amicably. Thought from years of experience I learned not to trust him but I can see that he is sincere with his feelings just now.
And as for the two sissies (Pak Boss Ketjil & Pak Manajer), maap yah gw nggak menyampaikan aspirasi kalian. Sepertinya kalian harus belajar untuk bersikap, berprinsip dan mengemukakan pendapat sendiri. Jangan jadi banci selamanya yaaaa***
