Sunshine Part 2

It's like a miracle because I never heard before he needs an assistance. No doubt, I ask my colleagues but she didn't know what was the job and told me to met Mr. Sunshine 8 o'clock in Monday morning.

It's just me who signed up for the job, no wonder, he wasn't too friendly and there're no job desk in the announcement. I came right 8 o'clock. The department door was made from a glass so I can see the employees room right in the left of the door. It was opened and I see Mr. Sunshine there. He sits in the desk beside the door, I can seen him from the outside. I heard the rumors he's no longer the chief of the department and realized the rumors was true.

I knocked the door, there's another employee, Mr. Skywalker, he was one of my favorite mentor back then but I knew he must be forget me. Mr. Sunshine standing awkwardly then ask me,

"Oh, you're the assistant? Where department are you at now?"

"Errr, I no longer in this institution I was waiting for the internship program from the ministry, Sir" answer me

"Oh, please sit down here." he show me the chair right beside him. "You no longer people from here, you can sit here".

I walk around almost the whole room because the table were arranged lengthwise and his desk was in the corner the sits in the chair beside him. Its so awkward, with Mr. Sunshine in the room, and Mr. Skywalker looking at me strangely. I think he knew I signed up for this because I like Mr. Sunshine. The rumors said Mr. Skywalker can read minds, and yes he can.

"So, have you seen this poster before?" Ask Mr. Sunshine with a poster in his hands.

"Haven't, Sir"

"Yeah, I need an assistant to help me to find people that come to this institution and suitable for this criteria, but I want more than just 100 people like the poster said, I need 10.000 people." he explains. It's a bit confusing. "Do you want to ask me first?" He asked.

"So, this is the job desk. So, how long I should work for you, Sir? Is it until 31 May?" I pointed the date at the posters.

"Oh no, no, longer than that. Ah, then you're going to sit in the stand in the lobby to meet the suitable people. Any questions?"

"Errr, what about the working hours?" I didn’t know anything else to ask.

"Mm, actually we don't need working hours, after you get the target, you are finish for the day. I pay you 1 dollars for ten people, and the target is 100 people per day. There are five apprentice that will help you, but I don't pay them so you get the people they got for your income." he explain again, there's a challenging voice in his tone.

It means I can get 10 dollars for five hours working, hmm, it sounds legit. But the job wasn't as I expected. It's gonna be a boring and routine job. I was in doubt.

"Ah, what time should I come, Sir?"

"Oh, 8 o'clock is enough. So, when you gonna start? Today? Tomorrow?" he haven't ask for my agreements for the deal, I knew it wasn't a deal anymore. He just saying I was his new assistant without agreement.

"Err, I don't have anything to do today, I can start today, Sir, for a trial." another me inside just screams, the job wasn't worth it. But, I can't step backwards anymore right?

"Ok, I'm gonna show you the stand and how it works. Oh, one more thing, please take the form and the equipment everyday in my desk then turn in back again after you finish." He stands so I stand and follow him.

He's so tall and as charismatic as I knew him before. Then I realized he hasn't ask my name, He knew my name once when we were paired for a week, but he didn’t talk much and it was only in minor interactions, I was pretty sure he never remembered me. Ahh, I felt pathetic for myself. He just using me for his job, he didn't need to know me at all. If I take this job it means I was going to see him every morning and everyday.

We walk out the employee room, leaving Mr. Skywalker alone, and I was pretty pretty sure he was laughing at my foolishness. We walk to the lobby where his apprentice has been doing the job and shows me the stand. Mr. Sunshine explains the procedures to me and leave. The apprentice, Mr. Polar, explain to me again and he said he can't always help because he has another job. I knew, I was him when I was in Mr. Sunshine department.

It was 1 o'clock and I finish the job. Me and the apprentice get 280 people for the day. I tidy up and Mr. Sunshine came, I told him I got 280 people. He smiles, and said the target was no longer 100 people per day but 300 people per day. I wasn't happy, I wanna cry. It's nice to work with Mr. Sunshine because I like him, but I didn't like him that much if he used me like this. But then, My professionalism told me to not give up, there's nothing else to do than work with him, I was signed up and he's gonna pay me there's no reason to give up.

"Oh, please send me the data not in a piece of paper but in the excel form." He said when we’re arrived at the department.

"Oh, and how's the format, Sir?" I ask him politely.

"Just like the paper form but please change the checklist to a number or category so it would be easier for me to make the data. Collect every data from the apprentice then send it to me." he explain without making an eye contact with me.

"Oh, okay, may I edit the format, Sir? So it can be simpler for you? I'm gonna email you tonight." I hope he asking me my number, I was his new assistant by the way, and I need to email this shit tonight. If he didn’t have my number or I didn’t, how he supposed to know there’re incoming email? I bet a man in his age didn’t always fetching email from his phone.

"Oh yes of course." He stand still looked a bit confused, didn’t gave me the respond I was hoping. No email address, no number. He's so frustrating, how can he work with assistant that he didn't know their name and their number? It's not comfortable even if I work with anyone else I didn't attracted to, we need their name and their number. How could we work if we didn't communicate?

"May I ask your email, Sir?" I didn't brave enough to ask for his numbers. I was searching for notes for my phone. I see him move slowly and calmly. He take the form and write his email in the back. I was so embarrassed. He gave me the paper. His has a bad hand writting, I know that long time ago. He used to use blue tint pen, but this time he was using the black one. The email address was his name with two number. I didn't know what number that was.

"Errr, thank you, Sir. Err, I'm gonna email you the recap tonight so you could see the format." finally I found a words.

"Yeah... ya, thank you...don’t forget the data from the apprentice..." he nods awkwardly, looked confused then leave. I wonder why was this should be super awkward. We were working together, an email address and phone number was just a very small interactions of the job.

I go to the cafeteria to eat lunch, feeling blue. This wasn’t the job I dreamed about. I didn’t get anything except money and his smile. Suddenly my phone’s rings, it was my best friend.

"How's the job? You must be happy to work with Mr. Sunshine, its like the answer for your doubt. You just ask me which job should you take and suddenly he's looking for assistance." She sounds interested.

"I'm happy but the work is not interesting and quite confusing, he's so stingy, the job needs much worker he don't wanna pay them, arrgghhhh, I wanna give up."

"But he pay you quite much, I don't even get that much for my job" she tries to cheer me up.

"Yeah, maybe I'm gonna find one more people to help, he said I can find one more friends to be work with." finally I can found something to rely on.

"If I don't have job, I'm gonna work with you, the salary is quite much. You’re gonna get much more than I do.” she was right, the money is much more than any job could gave me. But it was only I got much people to handle.

“Oh, I gotta go, don't give up okay, call you later!” finally she left me.

Yeah, I think I was so lucky, the coincidence was too delicate for me. I never thought there gonna be some coincidence like this in my life, I was one of the unlucky person. It feels like a movie right, or maybe I just dramatized this things?

At night, I recap the data, change the format as he wants and trying to forget my feelings and trying as professional as I can. I wrote the opening letter, asking him to check my job. I re-read the email before sent it and think why it's similar to Mr. Gray and Anastasia Stelle email when Anastasia was in her office. Oh no, I was dreaming again, no fifty shades of grey. This was Sunshine, not Grey. Then I click the send button and emailed him.

Good Night, Mr. Sunshine

I'm sorry for bothering you this late, with this email I attached the recap data with new format. I beg your willingness to verify the format.

I thank you for your attention and willingness.

My regards,

Raining Everyday

That was so formal. I was one of the most formal person in my age, I even has the old taste of everything. After sending the email I tried to sleep, but I couldn't, I was too tired. A fall asleep for maybe about ten minutes and suuddenly my phone rings, it was an email.

Night Raining

Acc

Sunshine

Wooooow, he still awake and reply my mail! I just can't help to smile, he just wrote "Night Raining". I knew it's too cheesy and overwhelming, but it really was. I never get a replied email from my boss like this before, with a format. Usually they never replied any email even though it's pretty important because they have my number so they said thank right to my phone not replies the email. He was so old fashioned and polite. I felt like Anastasia Stelle. I really love the love story scene of the novel, not the romantic and BDSM part of course, especially the email part because I never had any relationship that needs email to communicate like them. Its getting dramatic.
