HONESTY

Summer Holiday Allan returns to Finland.

Immediately something was missing. The atmosphere in the office was quiet and uninspired. Rakesh, the wise man feels Luna's, lonely heart.

"Are you daydreaming Luna?" He teased when he caught their assistant silent.

"Nooooo..."

"Yesssss..."

"What's for...?" Ask Luna

"I don't know" Rakesh replied

"I don't want to build a dream that can not come true," Luna said again mentioning the lyrics of the song

"You should build reality, not a dream," said Rakesh.

"But the reality was not so nice to me" Finally the girl confessed too

"Why?"

"He is married"

"Why don't you be his second wife?" Suggest Rakesh easily.

"I don't want to be another wife"

"So why don't ask him to divorce his wife" Another suggestion, as easy as before

"I wouldn't be happy under misfortune other" she continued like pearls of wisdom

"So just having fun with him"

"It's the same as killing myself"

"Then you have to have fun with another guy" It sounded like an invitation.

"Can not without love" cut Luna quickly.

"SO, WHAT YOU CAN DO NOW IS JUST WAIT FOR YOUR DREAMING

PRINCE"

Luna was silent.

"Btw, is he a foreigner or domestic?" Lure Rakesh pretending not to know.

"I think it's time to end"

For more than a month Allan spent his holidays in Finland, and finally, the day she had been waiting for, came. The waiting is over.

But Luna's happiness did not last long, Allan came with the not-so-good news. The man who stole her heart will be transferred to the Network Company in Florida, America.

Time flies so fast.

Luna has not satisfied yet enjoying their time together. Allan was about to leave. It feels like just yesterday that she had an interview in this room, knowing that it was the Farewell party

***

Cause I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Oh, babe, I hate to go...

The strains of a solo singer with a single organ singing an old John Denver song.

Allan invited his close friends to have dinner together at Oasis restaurant on the last day of his stay in Indonesia.

Various kinds of traditional food are served uniquely, accompanied by live music specifically for their event. Everyone enjoyed the party atmosphere.

Except for Luna.

The girl felt lonely in the middle of the crowd, drifting along with the strains of John Denver's song. And the saddest yet most beautiful story of bluish-green eyes needs to end, with the hugging each other for the first and the last time when the dinner is over.

I'm leaving on a jet plane

Don't know when I'll be back again

Rakesh replaced Allan's position upon his departure. The wise man from India has now become Luna's superior. But that didn't last long too. Only about a year later Rakesh being transferred to the Dominican Republic.

After Rakesh's gone, Anders took his position. Anders, who is younger, is now the boss. He is the most stubborn boss Luna has ever had.

"What is this, Luna? Why is my pencil here? Capp cappp... Did you steal huh? You are naughty! Are you going to sell at Kenari Market?"*)

Luna smiled. This Caucasian has indeed lived the longest in Indonesia, he seems to know more about Indonesia than Luna. Anders likes to open her drawers without permission. And that afternoon he found his pencil in Luna's drawer.

And since then, every time he loses his belongings, Anders looks for them in Luna's "Kenary Box".

After 5 years of working finally, the CSO department in Indonesia is closed. Because the engines installed are all out of warranty. Factory work done. Since then, if there is a customer's engine failure or damage, the DOER Company is the one who handles it. The Doer Company is the sole agent, marketing office as well as a workshop in Indonesia.

Anders was rolling to Rio de Janeiro - RJ, Brazil. Luna and Dody moved to their Network Company, Indonesia. In the same department, Sales Dept.

"What is this Anders?" asked Luna, getting a letter from Anders on her last day at the office.

"Love letters," replied Anders quickly.

Luna received the letter without pounding. She already knows Anders, he likes to give surprises... ridiculous surprises.

But, it turns out this time is different.

Work Experience Certificate made by Andres himself.

Luna amazed. Luna never thought about any letter because she was still working here anyway. The CSO Department is indeed closed. But the main office of this Company continues, The Doer Company. How caring this guy is.

She read the letter to the end...

'Ms. Bulan Purnama has expressed responsibility and interest in her work.

She has proven to be reliable and honest.

I consider her to be very capable of carrying out the tasks which are assigned to her.

She has a very satisfactory way to carry out her duties and responsibilities.

Based on my experiences working for several years abroad in various countries for The Doer Company I can safely recommend her for any similar or higher position in the future.

What a great appreciation. He took the time to write the Letter of Recommendation by himself even though Luna never thought that she would ask for it. But soon she brushed aside the feeling of sadness about losing her work partner and joked again

"Anders, you said I like to steal, that kanary box... But you say here I'm Honest... ehm ehm. See... you're not being honest...?" Luna teases.

"It is Allan who said that. Not me." Anders spoke as if he was ready with an answer.

Luna falls silent. Something rippled in her chest when she heard Allan's name being carried.

"He said that at the time of the interview you honestly said your first salary was 300 thousand. That's why he immediately hired you" Anders tells the story calmly.

"YOU KNOW FINNISH CULTURE. THEY APPRECIATED HONESTY. WHITE IS WHITE. BLACK IS BLACK. NO ABU ABU*). THEY DON'T TOLERATE DISHONESTY."

The girl was stunned. The feelings were mixed.

It reminded her of the interview. How did Allan react the first time she said that her salary was 300,000 IDR. It turns out that what she considered trivial was very important, it was honesty that had changed and lift up her life, honesty that got rid of candidates with higher academic GPA scores.

Honesty is indeed the currency that applies everywhere...

And there is no expiration date.
