Have you ever composed pieces of puzzle into a perfect picture? It feels perfect, when you get a clear whole picture at the end of the game, right? You feel satisfied because it all gets together there, creating such a good harmonious picture. But how do you feel when you realize that one piece or several pieces are missing from the group?
Thats what I feel now. I felt like I am missing my piece of puzzle. I feel unsatisfied and disappointed at the sametime because the picture I am going to see is never be the same. My missing puzzle is my coworker that I recently knew for this 6 months. I thought I would've never felt this heart break because I now that I would be the one who leave the team first in the upcoming months so that I wont be devastated by losing one of them. Besides, I never thought before that this fraternity bond has been created inside each of our soul.
But this things happen so fast, just in a blink of eyes. Starting with the rumor previous month ago, that the company will cut off the employee. I didnt take it seriously because the news was not that blossoming. Then, this month, I had this meeting with my team, the rumor seems to be real. Several people get the phone call to end the contract with the company. That day, I began to tremble, but not that much frightened because the up management hadnt announced it.
But then, the day after, the nightmare seemed to be true. The up management decided to answer the rumor and give a clarity toward the restless mind. It's decided that the cut off will be made within a week due to the global crisis. I felt the devastation atmosphere inside the room. Whisper, mumble, and question began to blossom and voice their restlessness. No doubt. Most of them are the head of the family, most of them have a responsibility to feed up their family. They felt so vulnerable because within 2 months we were gonna have a Ramadhan month and Lebaran day. How am I supposed to feed and cloth my family if I get fired? At least that what they thought.
Gradually, my dearest friend begin to be cut off. They got the call. My heart crushed. I lost my little family. Well, i know that our friendship will last after this cut off. But the work life would never be the same I guess. We cant be that free in joking and discussing about the same company. But yeah, thats the life. Anything could happen without our permission, thats the life lesson I ve learned. However, I am thankfully relieved that my friends got a very reasonable compensation and they leave our company with feeling respected and loved. Their testimony toward our company is quite positive.
I was quite a bit relieved that day. Because I heard the rumor that for my area, the cut off is over, now the storm began to move to east. I am relieved, At least my team was safe. Apparently I was wrong. By the night, I heard the spread that one of my team was cut off. Yeah, the person that contributed most of the sales in our team. The same person that was very keen, unusual, out of the box, and nervy. Gosh, how I envy for that character. The same person that also personally contributed to my personal feeling, as my brother, my mentor, and the person that I believe to pour my stories. I really lost him, we all do. I never stop crying when I realize that our team should move forward without him . Its very heartbreaking. I ve always missed his advice and jokes. He melted our tension and blended us together into a fraternity bond. And he is unbelievably strong. He takes the decision calmly. Like his life isnt merely depending into the company which is 100 percent true.
Well, I just wished him good luck. I do believe that this decision is indeed whats best for him and his family. He deserves a better life that he may get outside the company.
Good bye Hulk, we ve always missed you....
