ALVIN Trying to Rise

Workup

...Happy Reading's...

......................

Alvin walked in a hurry, he had to arrive at the construction site where he worked, before the shift of labor.

Yes, it turns out that because there is an acceleration of development time, workers are now divided into three shifts, with a period of eight hours per shift.

Alvin who can not enter the morning, enter the afternoon until evening, which is from four in the afternoon until twelve in the evening, so they can rest at different times.

Alvin felt very benefited by a shift schedule like this, considering he could not work full time, if only with two shifts as usual.

Alvin only felt like he was working on a two-sift schedule when the work rules had not been replaced, one week ago.

From this job, he can also have a laptop and mobile phone, to make it easier for him to do tasks and communicate with campus friends or coworkers.

Of course, these are not the latest products. Laptops and cell phones, Alvin bought used ones, at a much cheaper price.

For Alvin, he doesn't need prestige and expensive stuff, if it's just for style. He only bought the things he needed so much, to support education and relationships with his grandparents.

He is very grateful to be able to get a job with a salary quite large, although the risk is also great.

Alvin ran when the bus he was supposed to be riding had reached the stop.

Fortunately the driver saw him running while waving his hand, so he did not step on the accelerator.

Alvin was the last passenger at the campus stop, so as soon as he boarded, the bus soon passed from his stop.

Alvin sat in an empty chair, his breath hunting with his chest up and down, trying to breathe as much oxygen as possible.

Today the lecture schedule is very busy, so Alvin has no time to rest at all. Since morning he has been busy with various lessons that are enough to make his brain work hard.

Alvin leaned his body on the back of the chair, then closed his eyes, feeling very tired, after he had only slept for three hours yesterday, because of the tasks that were piling up.

It turned out that college while working was very tiring, just forty days he felt it, he had almost given up, if only he did not remember his mother, father, and sister.

Yes, for now they are an encouragement for Alvin to live life and struggle in the process of trying to get up.

Proving that he can live well and provide the best treatment for his mother, is a goal of life that he can not just forget.

His memory returns on the first day of work forty days ago. He who is foreign to heavy-duty equipment, feels confused and uncomfortable wearing it.

Back flash.

"Wear this first, Vin," said one of the seniors who worked with the group.

He stared at the protective gear for her to work. It turned out that he had to wear a thick jacket, a two-layer regular mask and a special mask, as well as a helmet that was specially designed to protect him from the effects of iron paint which is very dangerous for health.

Special paints are made to prevent iron and steel from rusting, to extend the life of the iron itself. Paint should be applied by spray, until many small grains will evaporate and blend with the air, and risk entering into breathing, if they do not wear protective equipment.

Alvin was shown how to wear it, until they were ready to start their work. Alvin took a tool to apply the cak to the prepared iron. The first day he had to paint the iron that would be used tomorrow morning.

The thickness and thinness of the paint was monitored closely so that sometimes he had to repeat it until the size is enough or close to the thickness that has been set.

Tired is very felt, what else he has to work at night. Withstanding fatigue and holding back sleepiness, it was quite difficult in the first days, he even got sick because he could not manage the rest time properly.

Now he is used to taking advantage of the empty time to sleep, whether it is in the musala or in the garden chair, even in the library. He can sleep anywhere, as long as his rest is enough.

Alvin opened his eyes, when the bus was almost at its destination, he stood up and stepped near the door to make it easier to get off.

Without Alvin knowing, since from campus there are cars that follow him to the construction site.

Alvin came down, he immediately walked into the area where he worked, along with some newly arrived workers as well.  Although in fact many of the workers have provided a place to stay in the construction site.

"Just arrived, Vin," said the security guard who had taken Alvin to meet with Lukman.

"Yes, sir," replied Alvin, he approached the middle-aged man, then chatted for a while before continuing his steps.

He also talked with fellow workers, while walking to their respective workplaces.

"The chin!" call one of the workers who is about thirty years old. He has worked there longer.

"Sir Dodi, it's ready, '" replied Alvin while looking at his co-worker who was ready to wear a protective jacket.

"Yes dong, I also have used iron, but look," he pointed to a sack not far from him.

Dodi does often collect pieces of iron or steel cables, to be sold again. It is already unused and can be brought by workers.

"Well, very diligent, sir." Alvin pointed his thumb.

The price of iron and steel cables is expensive, if they are smart to find sellers and diligent, the money from the results of selling iron can make a fairly tempting addition.

"You, why don't you pick up too, Vin?" ask Dodi.

"Ah, that's mah make, Father, aja. I just want to work, sir," replied Alvin, chuckling.

"Well, let me, who already has dependents. You are still alone, have not thought of the wife's child," said Mr. Dodi lightly.

The two chuckle together, almost all the workers who one group with him know, if Alvin works while in college, and still do not have a partner.

All of that is often the subject of the jokes of his friends, considering he himself who is still in a single status.

In fact, initially Alvin was also tempted to take iron and steel scraps like Dodi. Lukman, however, forbade it.

"It's better not to take the waste iron, Vin. You work really, if you are diligent, usually like to be given a bonus with the boss."

"Lagain, iron is so prone to accusations. Later if any goods are lost, they will make the workers who collect iron as the accused, because they go home with luggage."

That's what Lukman said when he said he wanted to take iron with other workers.

Hearing Lukman's reason for banning him, Alvin immediately complied. He doesn't want to deal with people who have a lot of money.

He has enough trauma and bad judgment for people with thick wallets. His family's business is destroyed by the father's enemy who is certainly a rich man, the case that befell Bu Leni's sister, as well as the problem with Dandi, it is all caused by people who have a lot of money and power.

All that trouble, was enough to make Alvin think badly about the nature of the rich. He was too lazy to deal with such people.

There is no work that is not exhausting, all work equally has its own difficulties. It remains how we can adjust and adapt, until the difficult work can feel easier.
