Arinda, First Love

Interviews

Several days passed since his meeting with Satria. Arin also got an interview call at one of the advertising companies.

Because Arin's enthusiastic ranking even looks neat at 7 am to be ready to leave. Although the actual schedule of the interview will be done at 10 am. He was too excited, and very sure if he would be accepted in the company.

"Widih, it's beautiful. Where you going?" sherina asked while holding a glass of water in her hand.

His appearance looks a typical mess of people waking up. He was still wearing a white oversize shirt and shorts. His hair he tied just as much, he just washed his face when he came out of the room.

"Today I have an interview schedule for Sher, doain ya." said Arin excitedly.

"Oh, good luck. If you accept it later tonight treat ya." replied Sherina half joking.

"Definitely! You're just as willing as anything. Doain I will escape and accept in this company." Arin chimps again while locking the door to his room.

"Would you like to walk? What time is the interview?" ask Sherina again.

"Interview her at 10, only I want to walk for a while to nerefresh the brain so as not to tangle later on his time facing the same HRD person." arin replied honestly because he actually felt a little nervous.

Arin wants to try to take a short walk while looking for breakfast outside, just like Sherina does every day. Meeting Sherina did bring a slight wind of change to her life.

He began to like the habits of his new friend. The way Sherina looks at the world and enjoys her life makes Arin a little distracted. Want to feel like a human being whose steps look relaxed but full of certainty, thought Arin.

As time goes on, a little bit of Arin starts to find out who Sherina really is and what she has. It was never intentionally Sherina told Arin but because of one and another thing that made it known.

Both Arin and Herti were amazed by Sherina who was so successful at a young age in managing and building her business from scratch. But Sherina never showed it off at all and was always humble.

Brief story Arin also arrived at a hawker and food center in the area of one of the largest shopping centers in Jakarta. There are many traders who peddle breakfast menu from traditional to international.

Arin decides to approach a pecel rice seller who looks so crowded. After waiting long enough he could enjoy one of the typical Madiun food.

After finishing eating a delicious plate of rice pecel, Arin moved to a cart located not far from where he ate. He was a little interested to taste the next sweet food for him to enjoy on the trip.

Arin does not have an appetite as big as Sherina who can be immediately greedy when eating in large portions and various menus. Therefore he decided to buy pancakes as a dessert.

While waiting for the queue to buy the pancake that is Viral, Arin chose to order ice podeng as a friend waiting for him. And it doesn't feel like time is passing quickly.

Arin also saw the watch in his hand that had shown at 9 am. He quickly walked to a mall located not far from there to change official clothes and tidy up his makeup.

After that he rushed to the company whose building is located 2 blocks behind the mall building. Arin chose to walk while enjoying the pancakes he ordered with patience earlier.

At exactly 9:30 Arin has arrived in front of the company building where he applied for a job. Before entering, he tried to calm himself and get rid of his nervousness by practicing breathing for several times.

With full of confidence, Arin also entered the company. The receptionist directs him to go to the 12th floor where he will conduct an interview. Not long after he sat in the waiting room, came about 3 other applicants who also passed the interview stage.

At least he tried hard to get to this stage. He will never regret because he has tried to the maximum. But if he does not get the job, Arin can only resign.

After finishing the interview, Arin still had to wait for 1 business day to find out the results. He left the company at exactly 12 p.m.

Before returning home Arin decided to go to the mall he had visited earlier to get ready. Arin went up to the 5th floor where there are several restaurants and cafes. After looking around, he chose to enter a cafe next to a fast food restaurant.

After getting a seat there, Arin decides to contact Sherina first because they have promised to have lunch together there. Arin also told me that he had chosen one of the cafes and was already there to order food.

"Sher, where are you?" ask Arin as soon as the call is connected.

Sherina seems silent not to respond to the question that Arin asked.

"Sher, are you against me? Hey, where are you?" ask Arin back patiently.

"Eh, it's Rin I'll be here soon. I was in front of the mall. Where are you at?" ask Sherina back quickly.

Arin was able to catch something different from Sherina's voice. But he chose to shut up and ask her later directly. Sherina's voice also sounded agitated, and not as cheerful as usual.

"Em, I'm on the 5th floor of the Harmony cafe." replied Arin briefly.

After waiting for about 5 minutes Sherina was seen entering the cafe area. Can Arin see if Sherina's face looks so shabby and sad. Even his eyes looked as if he had cried.

"I'm sorry, you waited a long time?" sherina asked as soon as she reached Arin's desk.

"No, let's sit here" replied Arin.

"I've pesen your favorite Strawberry juice, drinking must be very thirsty right?" arin said back as Sherina sat in front of him.

"Well, thank you bestie." Sherina replied excitedly as usual.

Even so Arin knows that Sherina is just trying to look ordinary. He doesn't know what really happened to Sherina. He had never seen Sherina's face that sad all along.

"You're okay, right?" arin asked after Sherina enjoyed a glass of her favorite strawberry juice.

"Eh, looks yes. Though I have been able to stand as much as possible so as not to be caught by you." Sherina replied smiling bitterly while stirring straws in her glasses.

"What's wrong? You have a problem again?" ask Arin back.

"Not there, but it's running away from trouble. But now the problem is even followed from Jogja here." he replied with half a laugh.

Although his face showed laughter, Arin could clearly see the sadness on his face. Arin is determined, to comfort Sherina so that she does not grieve anymore regardless of whatever the problem is.
