Hope Becomes Reality

Episode 2: New jobs

Ardi had finished changing his clothes, now he went to the porch of the house, sipping coffee while sitting like someone who was confused.

"I thought, I've chosen to find a part-time job so as not to bother my family." Inner Ardi, then immediately sip coffee until it runs out and start to look for work.

Ardi is at least looking for a job that can accept it that does not have a KTP.

After a long tour around the house, Ardi saw a mobile phone shop in front of a Cafe Cursom.

Posts plastered on a window display where the phones are sold, the writing states that it is in need of an employee at the mobile phone store.

Ardi then walked to the store to ask if Ardi could work in the store without showing the ID card, which he actually could not have, due to the age that is not enough.

"So, is it true that we're looking for employees to work in this store?" Ardi said, asking one of the employees who also worked at the store.

The employee just kept quiet and saw Ardi's appearance from head to toe, then took his eyes off Ardi while not caring about him.

Ardi was a little confused about the attitude of the officer towards him.

After no reply from the employee, Ardi decided to leave the mobile phone store and of course thought to find work to another place.

Ardi began to step away from the mobile phone store, but there was an old woman who was pretty enough to call him back to the mobile phone store, Ardi looked back and walked closer to the mobile phone store.

"Can anyone help deck?" Asked the woman smilingly without looking at the clothes Ardi was wearing.

"Look Mom, I'd like to find a part-time job, and I happen to walk down the street here and see that there's a sign in front of this cell phone store that I need an employee." Ardi said to the woman.

"Is it true, Mom?" Ardi continued, asking the woman.

"Oh, yes deck, can I see the ID card?" Asked the woman while extending her hand, asking for the ID card of Ardi.

"Sorry Mom, I don't have a ID yet, I'm 16 years old, but in one week I'll be 17 and I'll give my ID to my mom." Ardi said smoothly to the woman.

"Hmph, how could my co-worker be a 16-year-old boy" the inner one of the clerks of the shop while exhaling violently.

"Well, you seem like a good kid, I'll ask for a copy of your student card instead, and you can start work tomorrow." Said the old woman while extending back her hand congratulating Ardi.

"Thank you very much, ma'am!" Ardi said with excitement, to the point of wanting to jump up and shout.

After a pretty tiring day for Ardi today, he decided to go home and rest until tomorrow morning.

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

Morning has arrived back as usual, but on this day there is something different from usual, namely Ardi haru working part-time later in the afternoon, more precisely after school later.

Ardi started wearing his gray white uniform neatly, then went to the terrace to breathe fresh air for a while, after that was done then Ardi would leave for school.

—Tring-tring, tring-tring—

—Bimo—

A note was seen on the screen of the phone, then Ardi quickly answered the phone and immediately put the phone right in his right ear.

"Hello Ar, I got the news, a new virus has been discovered and has now hit our city, and also the cure of the virus has not been found, keep going for a while we can't get out of the house just yet." Said Bimo.

Ardi does not have a television at home, so if there is news he must ask his friend, Bimo.

"How dangerous is Bim's virus?, to the point that we can't temporarily get out of the house?" Ardi asked Bimo with a little fear, panic, and also worry.

"Well, it's a dangerous Ar virus, it's contagious and can cause death." Bimo said a little about the situation.

"Then thank you Bim Infonya, I want to change clothes first." Ardi told Bimo by phone.

"Yes Ar, you're the same." Bimo answered and hung up the phone.

Ardi decided to change his uniform, Ardi was a little confused by what happened, and he also felt something strange with the voice earlier.

Shortly after Ardi wanted to change his uniform, his phone rang again, but this time the one who called him was different, who called Ardi this time was Cristina, Ardi's brother.

"Hello sister, how are you?, all right there, brother?, what about dad?" Ardi said immediately gave quite a lot of questions to her brother with a little worry, even her brother had not had time to say a word.

"What the hell is the deck?, just want to say that your house rent has been transferred to your account, and quickly go to school now, it's seven o'clock, you're late!" Cristina said, explaining a little about what she wanted to say.

"This girl, the virus has just entered our city, so you can't go to school first." Ardi replied a little against his brother's words.

"What virus?, no virus comes, you mostly read stories, school is fast there." Cristina said and then hung up the phone with a slight annoyance.

"Then, what about the virus that just attacked the city?, I seem to have to prove it myself to the school." Inner Ardi, then prepare to go back to school.

During the trip, Ardi thought that his brother had not heard about the virus, it was due to his brother's residence far in the countryside.

Ardi was a little hesitant to go to school, but after arriving at school, Ardi was surprised by people coming to school, and even many vehicles parked neatly lined up.

This indicates that something did not happen, and everything is normal as usual, again this makes Ardi confused, even his head almost exploded thinking about it.

"Ardi, what are you doing here?" A man came up to Ardi and saw him a little confused.

"Well, why Ki?" Ardi asked Rifki, the person who approached him earlier.

"Didn't a virus come to our city, and for a while we can't get out of the house?" Rifki said a little explained to Ardi.
