Kadang gue mikir si Boss itu pengkhianat bangsa gara2 tingkahnya yg malu2in sebagai orang asing di negeri ini. Ya apalagi kalo bukan minta diskon waktu bayar izin kerja di Imigrasi!
Tapi sejak kejadian kemarin sore, ternyata gue salah. Pak Boss itu cinta banget sama Indonesia..
The thing is.......
+++++++
Si Boss baru aja balik dari Amerika kemarin pagi. Tapi karena sorenya ada meeting sama tamu dari Singapore, dia terpaksa datang ke kantor. Mukenye kusuuut banget deh. Padahal di Amerika cuman 3 hari, tapi jetlagnya kek baru balik dari neraka gitu...
Waktu 2 orang tamunya datang..
Boss: Hello... I am Sotoy..
Tamu 1: Hi, Steve Azar..
Tamu 2: Hi, Aditya Sidharta.
Boss: (bengong ngeliatin Aditya) Oh..? I thought you were an Indian..
Mr. Aditya: (confused) Err.. yes I am.
Boss: No no.. I mean.. Your name is.. Indonesian name.
Gue: (tepuk jidat!)
Mr. Aditya: Oh no.. I am an Indian, Singapore citizen. Hindustani to be exact.
Boss: Ooh.. Bollywood daaaanceee hahahahaha...
Gue: (nyari tali laso buat iket si Boss)
Boss: But why your name is Indonesian name??
Gue: (please shut your mouth!)
Mr. Aditya: Is it?
Boss: Yes! It is an Indonesian name. Aditya! Sidharta is an Indonesian name also! Your mother is an Indonesian? Like me?
Mr. Aditya: Err.. no. She is an Indian also.
Boss: Ooh... maybe you all lived in Indonesia before?
Mr. Aditya: No, never.
Gue kagak nahan punya boss malu2in gini! Nih sotoy kagak belajar sejarah kali ye! Terpaksa interfere..
Gue: I think Aditya is Indian name. Hundreds of years a go, South East Asia was ruled by the Indians. So you know how the Indonesians also use that name. Mostly Javanese.
Boss: Ah masak sih? (muke ngeyel) Bukannya Indonesia? Ponakan saya namanya Aditya kok!
Mr. Aditya: It is Indian name.
Kagak bisa skor, si Boss bete. Mulutnya langsung keriting.. nyiu nyiu nyiu nyiu…
Boss: Hehehe.. sorry.. Just came back from US. Jetlaaaag....
Muke gile.. norak banget..
Then meeting berlangsung. After meeting, lagi chit chat mo say bye bye goodbye si tamu udah mo masuk mobil..
Boss: Ok so see you in the exhibition in Singapore ok?
Mr. Aditya: Sure.. (masuk ke mobil)
Boss: Errr... wait. I am sure, Aditya is Indonesian name. Your parents must be influenced by us. Ok bye! (nutup pintu mobil tamu)
Cape deeeeeeeee...
Eh enggak ding, enggak cape. Asal jangan lo tanya aja ma tuh orang "Err.. Kamasutra itu public holidaynya orang India kan?"
