    Pak Senen. Konon itulah namanya, walaupun kadang yang dikantor ini lebih sering memanggilnya dengan Babe (baca seperti babe untuk pengucapan ayah/bapak dengan logat Betawi). Orangnya sih baik, dan menjadi salah satu tempat untuk bertanya, dimintai tolong, sampai dengan memberikan informasi yang kadang tidak diketahui oleh orang-orang kantor. Minggu lalu, pernah tiba-tiba memberitahu bahwa ketika liburan…
