One day passed, Andra went around the city since 6 am. He passed by Bu Wati's shop.
Not only good-natured, Ms. Wati is also a hard worker. At the age of 4 heads, the woman was still willing to open her shop once in the morning. He had enough money for his daily life.
"Gee... It was early morning Ndra. Want to find a job?" sapa Bu Wati smiled kindly.
"Yes ma'am, it starts in the morning, before the chicken pecks it" Andra replied with a joke.
"It's good, it has to be that way. Yasudah, let's have breakfast first" said Ms. Wati.
Andra shook her head, she rejected Bu Wati's offer subtly.
"I've eaten bread Mom, it feels like my stomach is still full."
"Then I leave first Ma'am" said Andra.
Ms. Wati could only sigh, and let Andra go looking for work.
"Heart well, hopefully get some work done"
"Thank You Ma"
Andra again continued her steps, down the city that she currently occupies.
It's good to be in the city, where not to ride a vehicle. If you walk hard, what is wrong with walking. If there are no vehicles, there is public transport.
Andra decided to just walk away, she found it easier to see if there were vacancies in every store or place she could possibly apply for.
In Andra's hand was a brown map containing her identity and a job application letter. Last night Fardan helped her to make that cover letter.
Andra kept walking, her eyes staring at every shop, cafe or whatever had a paper patch in front of her. Who knows if there are vacancies there.
Tired of her travels, Andra stops at a sidewalk tavern. He ordered esteh. The weather was very hot, making his throat feel dry.
While drinking his drink, Andra looked towards the place on Pagari with a zinc roof and a wire wrapped around the zinc.
"What place is it?" His murmur was curious. He kept staring at the place.
Shortly after that, many people came out of it. Andra was getting curious, people who came out of there wearing helmets and safety shoes.
"Huh, less than one person. Make work a little slow" said one of the men.
They sat in the same shop as Andra, ordering food and drinks. Like they're taking a day off.
"Huh, I'm so tired. Hard work but alone, a little hard"
"Yes, like her we have to add members to help with the work "
Andra kept hearing their talk. When he heard that person talking about the lack of members, he immediately stood up and approached the group of people.
"Excuse me sir, sorry before I eavesdrop on all of you. But, do you really need members?" ask Andra politely.
The group of workers looked at Andra, then they threw eyes at each other.
"Can you work building porters?"
"Can you stir the cement?"
"Are you sure you can work well?",
Question after question they throw in alternately.
"I can and I will try to learn. I will try hard" replied Andra steady.
Seeing Andra's persistence, one of the men who was the foreman of the group of workers smiled. He likes passionate workers like Andra.
"Well, tomorrow you can come in"
"Good sir! I will definitely come!" reply Andra smiled happily. Inwardly, he unceasingly expressed gratitude. Screaming is nice to call her mom and dad as thank you.
"Who's your name?" ask one of the men sitting next to the foreman.
"My name is Andra sir, Andra Wijaya. Coming from Kampung X" answered Andra introduced herself.
"Well, one village with a foreman" said another.
Andra nodded quickly, she unceasingly smiled.
That afternoon, Andra was invited to eat with them. Tell me about their respective villages. In an instant, Andra was able to blend in with all of them.
Their foremen came from the same village as Andra. Even the foreman knew Andra's father and mother, but he hadn't returned in a long time. Only his wife and children came home.
After the break the workers returned to work, while Andra. He decided to go back to his boarding house.
Andra told Ms. Wati that she had gotten a job. Of course Bu Wati Sanga was happy to hear this good news.
For Wati, the boarding child is the same as his child. She's like a mother to those who spend her time in her kosan.
"Goodbye Andra, you can work tomorrow"
"Yes ma'am, I am so grateful." replied Andra.
Among the children boarding Wati, Andra is the fastest to get a job.
"Thank you for the mother's kindness and mother's prayers. I could easily get a job" he said.
"No son, it is your effort and passion that makes you lucky. Hope you are happy and work well together."
"Yes Ma'am"
After chatting with Bu Wati, Andra decided to return to her boarding house. He wants to rest and prepare for work tomorrow.
After saying goodbye to Bu Wati, Andra immediately shot home.
Brak!
"Aws.."someone accidentally bumped into Andra with his bike.
Andra was unable to dodge, as the man walked out of the alley all of a sudden.
Andra fell backwards, while the person who was cycling grimaced in pain on his knees.
Seeing her grimacing in pain, Andra immediately approached her and helped her.
"Come here I help" said Andra, he lifted a bicycle that hit the body of a woman. Andra helped the woman stand up.
She had not seen the woman's face, as her long hair covered her entire face.
"Ouch...It hurts so much" ringis.
" Are you okay?" ask Andra worried.
The woman fixed her hair, she looked up at Andra's face.
"You ?"
"You?"
Andra and the woman were equally surprised, they were like they knew each other.
"Why are you here?" andra asked in surprise. He had not expected to meet this woman in the city .
"I've just come from my friend's house, because I got a phone call from my mother, so I'm in a hurry "clearly that woman.
"how are you, why are you here?" said the woman was behind her.
"I'm looking for a job, and I just got a job."
"oh.." Aguk the woman.
"oh yeah, I have to go. Mom will definitely scold me" the girl immediately picked up her bike, then pedaled the bike as fast as she could.
while Andra, she stared at the departure of the sweet woman she once helped in the village.
indeed the earth is narrow, he can meet that sweet woman in this city.
After the woman's departure, Andra again continued her steps to kosan.
