Hope Is You's
Seven
Along the way home, Atika kept thinking about what mistakes she might have made earlier until her mother Ian suddenly acted cold when she came home.
"assalamualaik. Tika's home!"
"greetings waalaikum" replied the mother from the kitchen
After taking off her shoes and putting them on the shelf of her closet, Atika passed up to her room and closed the door behind her
Climb onto the bed and drown his face in the body of his giant panda doll until he starts sleeping without changing clothes.
Drrrttt ddrrttt
The vibration of his cellphone made him open his eyes and reach into the contents of his sling bag lying next to him
"assalamualaikum sweetheart" said a man with a clearly smiling face on Atika's mobile screen
"waalaikumsalam" Atika replied with a smile as sweet as possible but still with a voice and a pillow face
"loh? You sleeping?" tanya Ian looked at the expression of the face of the wake up of his lover on the screen of his phone, yes who called is Ian and currently they are talking through a video call from their chat application
"isn't nemenin mami arisan anymore?"
Atika answered only with a nod
"we're home already? Sleep again? It's only 2 o'clock, usually mami kalo arisan until afternoon"
"the line was done at 12 and I went home first, I was sleepy" he answered a little lie
"Soal abis arisan, aunt Diana wanted to continue the same way her friends, and I was not strong if I had to walk to the mall again until afternoon, and I did not know, well you know myself I was the most lazy way, to the mall until hours" he continued with his typical grin
"mmm. Oh yes sorry I just get the news now, because earlier after papa landing plane lancung ngajakin meet a new client and meeting aja kelar, when I finished I went directly into your phone trus room. Kangen baaattt about it"
"iya gakpapa, I know the prospective father of the big boss" Atika woke up and leaned on the head of the bed while returning her lover's smile
"you're definitely more confused than me, right?" Ian raises his eyebrows trying to seduce Atika, but only avenged delikan by Atika
"no, B is. How many hours split time already kangen. There's gombaaallll, lebaayyy"
Ian put on a faked look of his frown and made Atika laugh.
The small talk lasted not long because Atika who wanted Ian to rest because later tonight there will be dinner which is also a meeting to discuss opening factories and offices in Bali.
Atika sighed after ending her video chat with Ian, recalling the attitude of aunt Diana at the restaurant earlier
"Have I been in the toilet too long? So aunt Diana was with me?" Atika started to argue with her inner
"but ah, it doesn't make sense. Aunt Diana was upset and angry just because I went to the toilet later"
"Aaghh. So this stress is because of thinking about Aunt Diana. So want to snack" He also rose from the collapse to the bathroom and changed the clothes he still wore when driving Ian to the airport.
"Where are you going?" Asked the girl who was still wearing her High School uniform from inside the kitchen when she saw her older sister coming down the stairs and walking towards the door
Alana-the girl in the high school uniform was just oh ria and then walked up the stairs to her room
Atika continued his goal-to minimarket on foot because the minimarket destination was not far from the gate of the complex of his house.
After choosing various snacks and cold drinks, Atika headed to the cashier to count and pay for her groceries, but her attention was distracted by an announcement poster on the glass door of the minimarket
After paying, Atika approached the glass door and read the poster carefully and a moment later both corners of her lips lifted into a smile

Alana turned the handle of Atika's room door after knocking her and then turned her head inside
"Sister, dinner. I'm waiting for my mom to be with my dad"
"Ntar a little more, nanggung if left"
"Ngapain anyway? Make another thesis?" Alana steps in and gets closer to the desk where her sister looks busy typing something on her laptop "Curiculum Vitae" Alana reads what's on the laptop screen "do what?"
"I'm going to apply for a job. Yapp, finished up in print" replied Atika after saving the type and then close the screen of her laptop
"Come on, I'm expecting you, right?" Atika got up from her seat then walked out of the room, down towards the dining room followed by Alana behind her
"Well, sister Tika wants to go to work" Alana opened her voice after sitting in front of the dinner table and scooped the rice onto her plate
"Job application? Where's?" Syarifah's mother responded with a pain in the dahu
"Hm. In the minimarket Alfimart I saw again open job vacancies for high school graduates until S1 bu. I read the posters anyway the required position is also quite, still adjusted the same last diploma. And quite also to add to my work experience" explained Atika while after spooning her first 1bribery
"When is the interview?" This time my father asked
"Tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock on KIMA(*) well. You see Alfimart's head office is inside the KIMA complex"
"You want me to drop off?"
"Hm. If you're not busy and you're not taking drugs"
"Yes, in the shay'a Allah tomorrow let father-daughter father pick up his first job" father with his soothing smile and responded to a nod of encouragement by Atika.
