I Found Love At the End of the Dusk

Where Are You Going?

"Amin," with a smile on her cheeks.

It was a tiring day because a full day of walking and getting on and off the bus just for the sake of a job vacancy in hopes of getting a much better job and being able to help the elderly, I who have changed clothes and cleaned myself now try to break down a body that feels tired preparing mentally for tomorrow which I hope can be much better than today.

The cold night was filled with the sound of owls that sounded so clear, I don't know who kept it for two days I heard the owl keep chirping at night making my feathers sit everyone who heard it standing, I fell asleep without me noticing since when? and now the morning begins to greet the sun crawling up to shine on the dark earth last night.

"Where are you going? "Ask me when I saw mom was tidy and ready to go.

"Today I want to apply for a job as a housemaid" replied the mother with a face full of enthusiasm and happiness that emanated clearly on her face, whereas the job she got was not a good job, being a housemaid is not a proud thing, but for mothers to be a housemaid is enough to give new hope, because the salary of being a housemaid is much greater than being a washing worker that you have been doing.

"Where do you want to apply for a job?" my question was full of curiosity to see the clothes you use so neatly as usual.

"Yesterday, I got an offer from mothers who often ask for help from mothers to wash their clothes, she said in the next village there are people who need domestic assistants, she said, that's why I was recommended to be a maid there, and today I want to go to see the situation there might be a place to fit my mother." Obviously Mother.

"Sorry, Mother," I said with a lethargic expression staring softly at Mother who still looked excited.

"Why are you sorry?" mother asked while holding both of my shoulders, staring with curiosity clearly visible on her face.

"I'm sorry, because I still can't help you, and I still can't make you happy Mom," I said everything I felt, really if I could choose right now, it's better that I work as a domestic assistant where Mom wants to work.

"What if I was the one who proposed to be a housekeeper, Mom?" my proposal.

I was quite surprised to hear the proposal I just said, maybe I feel like I'm kidding right now, but I who was not joking put on a serious face showed that right now I was really serious about what I said.

"Don't, Son! you being a housekeeper is not what you want, let Mom be a housekeeper, you have to be a much better person than Mom," mother's message that I often heard, it was also enough to make me full and disappointed in myself, he said, I'm disappointed because until now I couldn't be the person Mom expected me to be.

"Here you go, son, don't be sad like this, I'm not at all disappointed in you, you just graduated from school, and you've done your best, but maybe God is not on our side yet, so do not feel disappointed or give up before fighting! remember that if success doesn't come instantly, it takes struggle" you can always make me feel excited again and forget the disappointment that sometimes comes without me commanding and controlling.

"Thank you, for being the best mother in the world, I will always remember your message and I will make it my life guide, remember it at all times and I'm sure that the message is able to take me back to my original intention to succeed, when there are many temptations coming," I told Mother who smiled sweetly at me.

"I should be the one to thank you, son, for you have been a booster to mother, and you have been the most kind and wise daughter of mother, you are the world of Mothers, and you are the mother, so take good care of yourself! because Mom can be this strong just because of you, "mom said and Mom's smile seemed to widen showing a happiness that no one including myself could interpret.

The atmosphere was quiet again as I took off my arms and Mom started walking away from me, she was now getting ready to go to the new employer's place where mom would start her activities.

"don't push yourself too hard, mother!" My message when I see my excited mother walking away from home. While I was still standing and my mother's departure until she was invisible.

I who do not have any job aka unemployment now choose to walk into the room. Study and prepare to take the tests that will definitely be done at the factory that I put the application yesterday.

I was still silent until the ringing sound of my cell phone in my pants pocket shocked my daydreams that had now wandered out of nowhere.

My heart felt so happy when I saw Who called me HRD from a factory yesterday I came because I needed someone to clean the whole room there or make coffee for the staff, because yesterday I saw a job there as an Office girl.

"assi!" When I heard the news that I got a work call, I excitedly turned to the book and ballpoint pen that I put on the table and put it in the bag.

"Thank God, I finally got a chance to get a much better job" I looked up at the phone call I just answered.

"Finally I get a job too, tomorrow I'll try my best to be accepted into the factory that just called me," he said excitedly remembering that tomorrow morning I would come to the company to do a test.
