Half Cinderella

Job Search

Finding a job in a metropolitan city is not as easy as turning the palm of the hand. Walking here and there looking for work but still not getting a job. A little frustration is implied in Ardella who is looking for a job.

Ardella has been rejected several times by other companies. His legs were so tired and it was hard to walk, he exhaled slowly. "Huh." Mumbled.

Feeling a little sore, Ardella wanted to rest first before continuing her journey. Ardella who was standing on the side of the road looking towards the surrounding, saw a small shop in front of him with small steps Ardella moved towards the stall.

Upon arrival at the stall Ardella sat by straightening her legs more leaning forward. Seeing the owner of the stall that was selling Ardella felt bad just hitchhiking to sit, he also bought some small snacks to eat.

While sitting Ardella looked around him, around him a lot of people who were walking, on the face of the people seemed to be busy and hasty walking. Turning his gaze back to another place, seen at the corner of the intersection of the parking rickshawmen waiting for passengers, besides the rickshaw parking lot there is a sidewalk. A lot of people are selling on the sidewalk.

Ardella again set her eyes on the smallness in her hands. The situation now is not only him who experienced, everyone seems to struggle with their respective jobs to find money.

While enjoying the crackers in her hand, Ardella opened her phone. Looking at the mailbox carefully, one by one the message was opened, but there was no news indicating that he was called for a job interview.

"Huh." Ardella breathed out, she put her phone back in her bag.

Since resigning, Ardella has sent many job applications through online sites via email until now there has been no single interview call. While biting the crackers and chewing slowly, Ardella looked around again.

Suddenly a beggar came near Ardella, with the beggar's tattered clothes extending his hand before Ardella to ask for alms. Ardella took his wallet, saw the contents in his wallet Ardella gave a sheet of money to the beggar, still less with his gift Ardella gave a snack that he had just bought.

"Thank you." Speak beggar by ducking.

Ardella just replied with a smile.

The beggar moved away from Ardella, again realizing that he was still more fortunate than the beggar.

"spirit." Ardella got back up, she tidied up while making sure her luggage was not left behind.

Tringg.

A message came in.

"Denger Ardella is looking for a job." Fill message.

"Yes." Yeah." Reply Ardella.

"You want me to bargain for work."

"What work." Ask Ardella.

"Let's be clear you're coming to this address first."

"Okay, I'm coming now." Reply Ardella.

When Ardella was looking for work, she also did not hesitate to ask friends at the campus. He also asked for part-time work that he could take for a while. And a friend from his department offered Ardella a job.

Although not yet know what work will be offered by friends Ardella, but now Ardella is excited.

Arriving at the address sent by her friend, Ardella begins to search for her friend's whereabouts.

"Ardella's." Call his friend from the prank.

"Relene." Saut Ardella smiled. Riri is a college friend with Ardella. Although they are not very familiar but often reprimanded.

Looking around Ardella is not comfortable, it turns out that the place Ardella goes to is a bar. With doubt he approached his theme.

Riri then ordered a drink for Ardella. Put the bag on the table then pull the chair slowly. Ardella sat looking at Riri who was smiling at her. Thinking of her goal came Ardella wanting to directly speak to her core point.

"On the work you said.... " Tanya Ardella is not finished.

"Ohhh, that work problem, I want you to work at this bar. " She said relaxed.

Bar is not a place where people drink hard, and also people often get drunk at the bar. Ardella was silent for a moment still thinking about Riri's offer.

"Please, here is the permission. " Knowing it seems like Ardella is less interested. "I've been working here a long time, so don't worry." Convince Ardella.

"Tomorrow I'll tell Ri, because I'm not used to crowded places like this." Ardella feels uncomfortable with the atmosphere of the bar, how not? inside the bar was loud disco music, there were also guests who were almost drunk. Noisy Susana doesn't fit with Ardella.

***

Parto who is currently in front of the house where Ardella's residence.

Before coming, Parto had received an order from Aoran to solve the problem of the house that is currently owned by Aoran.

15 Minutes later, Parto was still standing at the door trying to knock on the door. "Excuse me." In a loud tone Parto tried to call the house people.

No one was home, thought Parto as she moved and looked around the house.

Lisa who had just come from the direction of the road saw a man in neat clothes make his steps stop. In her heart, Lisa wondered who was the man who was acting strangely in front of her house.

"Sorry, who are you." Ask Lisa slowly. He still watched the poster of Parto's body very sharply.

Hearing the sound, Parto turned around. Parto knows Lisa, but she pretends not to know who Lisa is. "Do you own this house." Asked Parto while pointing towards the door.

"Yes." Yeah." Saut Lisa's.

How many times did Lisa think, she did not know Parto, when she mentioned the word house it seems Lisa had guessed that she was a tall man who was in front of her must be one of Aoran's messengers.

"There's actually something I'd like to tell you about the ownership of this house." Parto's explanation was a little awkward.

"Ah. Isn't it two days left." Saut Lisa with a grin on her face, Lisa's welcome was a little unfriendly to Parto.

Given the threat of thugs messing up the other day at her house, it seems Lisa can't be friendly and kind to Parto. His feelings say that surely Aoran made another bad plan against his family. What else is to come cannot be predicted now.

Same is the case with Parto who currently can feel an unfriendly welcome from Lisa. He just gave a thin smile on his side. "There's something I want to say." Parto felt that talking outside made her uncomfortable. "Can we talk inside." Said Parto slowly.

Parto's polite manner of speaking made Lisa a little weakened, rather than a thug at least this time better.

"All right." Saut Lisa's. Groped the key in his pants pocket. He opened the door and allowed Parto to come inside.

While climbing her feet, Parto glanced at the corner of the house with wild eyes. His gaze could not calm down at all, glancing here and there Parto observed very observantly.

"Sit down for a second, I'll make you some tea." Say it politely.

"okay." Lisa's voice breaks Parto's attention.

A courtesy when one is visiting should at least offer tea. That's what Lisa is doing right now.

With a cup of tea, and served on the table, Lisa invited Parto to drink, she sat on the right side of the sofa. "What do you really want to talk about." Ask Lisa.

Parto put her glass back on the table. "That. You better read this." Saut Parto handed him the envelope he had been holding.

Slowly Lisa opened the envelope, then pulled a piece of paper from inside the envelope. Reading the contents of Lisa's letter still did not understand what she meant.

"I don't understand what the letter means. It says we don't have to leave the house." Ask to see Parto with a flat face.

"The boss said that this house contracted to you, so you don't have to move out of here." Started to explain slowly. "But on condition that every month you must pay the rent for this house." Continuing his explanation, Parto noticed Lisa's reaction.

Lisa is still silent with the words of Parto, it does not make sense just to allow them to stay by just paying rent. Even the rent was not too high, a little bit of anxiety Lisa felt in making a decision, what Aoran's purpose was more worried.

"Give me two days to think about it." Lisa put the paper back in the envelope.

"All right." Saut Parto was gentle without questioning Lisa's decision. "This please give to Ardella." Parto handed me another envelope.

"What is this." Ask Lisa.

"That's..." Parto was unable to explain the contents of the envelope to Lisa. His voice was silent.

"Well, I'll give it to Ardella." Not forcing Parto to explain.

"Thank you for the tea." Parto smiled faintly. "I think I should go now." Parto said back while looking at her watch.

Lisa simply fell silent and let Parto go from her home.
