Job seeking.

Dinda was still sitting and silent even though her heart was still stubborn. A mother who may be called a person is looking at the file of a large brown envelope.

"Dinda Ayu, that's your name huh?, if I may know, you why would you want to work?". Ask the mother.

"Yes Ma'am, my name is Dinda Ayu. I want to work because I want to be independent looking for money. Later the money is to help parents finance the school of my sister Ma'am". Reply Dinda with deep feelings and anxious expectations.

The mother put the application file back into a large brown envelope, then piled it on top of a pile of other envelopes.

"Ok Dinda, I'm just asking that. In two days you will come here to hear the announcement, whether you are accepted to work here or not". Say mother Personnel.

"Yes, ma'am, thank you so much". Answer Dinda.

"Until here Dinda, please go home and be careful on the road. Don't forget two more days". Said Personnel mother then extended her right hand to salaman.

"Thank you Mom, I'll remember". Dinda replied as she reached out her right hand to greet Personnel mother.

Dinda exited the Personnel room then walked through the employee workspace. Dinda finally came out of the building. Walking towards the gate, Dinda was greeted by a guard.

"What was it?, don't forget the next two days to come here". Said Mr. security guard.

"Already sir, yes, said the Personnel wait two more days. Yes sir, I'll come here to hear the announcement. Thank you Sir, if you'll excuse me to go home". Answer Dinda.

"Sama-sama mba, be careful on the road mba". Said Mr. security guard.

"Yes sir, excuse me". Dinda replied as she stepped out of the gate.

Dinda walked down the highway. It's almost 11 noon. Dinda thought about whether to go to the other company. But time is almost noon, it is impossible to continue. It is a short break for the workers. Finally Dinda sat on the side of the road in a mixed ice vendor's stall. Dinda felt hungry and thirsty, then Dinda ordered a glass of ice mixed to the father of the ice seller mixed.

While stirring the mixed ice containing green bean porridge, fresh bread, tape, plus milk and red syrup, Dinda looked towards the crowded highway. The heat of the sun that feels makes Dinda really enjoy the ice mix.

Thor really good tuh ice mix let alone in eating uh in drinking hot daylight again. My throat like I'm enjoying Thor, drooling, my mouth wants too.

Patience Reader, do not drool dong is just my story. But if drooling uh want to buy it yourself, do not ask the same Dinda let alone to the Author. Even if you can't get to heeheee. Continue with Reader.

After finishing a glass of ice mixed by the roadside, Dinda thought about just going home. It is impossible to apply for a job. Eventually Dinda crossed the street and waited for public transport to arrive.

Not long after, the waiting public transport arrived. Dinda stopped him and went inside and sat down in a chair. The public transport is at the intersection of the city road. Dinda asked the driver to stop, then get out of the car and get off. Dinda paid the fare to the driver, then walked over and sat down again to wait for public transport to his house.

After a few minutes, public transportation came and stopped in front of Dinda. Because Dinda stopped the public transport, and went inside and sat down. Dinda thinks if this is every day and long, a lot of the cost, well if the work can be replaced. Arriving Dinda in front of his alley, Dinda told the driver to stop and pay the cost of the public vehicle.

Dinda walked towards her house, and Dinda arrived in front of the house. Dinda took off her shoes and opened the door with a greeting. Dinda went straight into her room and rested.
