Applying for work.



Yesterday Riki just came home from out of town on business. And on that very day Raishya told him all that had happened to the Saints.


"Fuck Doni ! he should learn a lesson !" riki's blood was boiling imagining the woman he liked was now in a slump.


"Yes mas I also sprained the same mas Doni. Poor Mbak Suci had to go because of Teni. Holy Mother is a good woman."


"Mas wants to see Doni first."


"Don't mas ! later even mas said to interfere in their household affairs. I'm afraid the anger will even make you more runyam. The Holy Mother will be affected later."


"Then I ask for the Holy Address."


"Not now. The Saints will not like it. Meningan now barin mbak Suci to calm down first. I'm sure he'll be able to go through all of the stoic stuff."


The Holy Brother is a strong woman even though I actually know his heart is very hurt at the moment. When he left the Doni mas house, he was still able to smile. I see his eyes still open. I know that it's not easy to be calm like that in a moment when her feelings are really broken.


Riki looked increasingly riled up. Actually if he could he wanted to immediately immerse Sacred's face in his chest. Letting all his pain flow until it is unnoticed.


"What is the feeling of such a deep mas in the Holy Mother ? just this time I saw that I cared so much about a woman. I am usually very clumsy and never interested in any woman. I was busy taking care of business all this time. But now I see the attitude of mas very different to that of the saint."


"She's a different woman. Saints are very special to me."


I guessed it. Mas Riki not only likes him even fell in love with the Holy Mother. If I were a man maybe I would also be easy to give my heart to him. The Holy Mother was a simple and kind woman.


"I also consider the Holy Father special. I'm happy to spend time with him."

Early in the morning Holy and Sharif went together to find work. They ride a motorbike together. Enter one place to another. From the start of shops, factories, restaurants and workshops have been visited.None of the places that accept them to work. Even just keeping a cover letter is not allowed.


Until noon the brown envelope was still in their hands. The motor was stopped first on the roadside because it was confused where to go.


"Mbak laper's. We eat first yuk it in front there warteg." The saint pointed to a place of eating not far from them.


After parking the motor they got into the warteg and ordered food.


"Bak I want rice just like kale and eggplant. Sharif you want to use what side dish ?" they stand in front of the storefront.


"But just don't." Sharif combed all the food one by one.


"I want rice with sambel, lalap same salted fish." Sharif spoke while imagining how delicious the food was. It had even been since he had chosen food he swallowed hard his saliva. Salted fish squid as if waving want to immediately enter his stomach.


Saints and her sister were already sitting on a bench. They immediately ate the food without any leftovers. Not to forget a cup of warm tea gulped to wet their esophagus.


"Where is the food in our place ? what's good ?" a woman in her 40s approached them.


"It's very funny ma'am. Is this warteg's mother ?" ask Sacred.


"Thank you if you like. I am the owner of this news. Just call me Madam Rahmi. Today's the first day this warteg opens and you're my first customers. So this time you do not have to pay for FREE !!!" a million Watt smile.


"Ahhh Bu precisely because we are the first customer of mother so we have to pay. I'll also definitely be out a lot of capital for this business." The saint returned a smile.


"That's okay mommy sincerely all those promotional calculations. Later sometime stop by again to warteg mother yes...!"


"Thank you very much then. May your efforts be successful."


"Aamiin..Where are you guys going, anyway ?" staring at Saints and Sharif alternately.


"I am Holy and this is my brother Sharif. We have run out of work from the morning to go there and there but have not been caught. Now go home maybe tomorrow try again."


From earlier, Bu Rahmi was only accompanied by a conversation by Suci. While Syarif is just a listener, sometimes he nods his head with a smile when the owner of the warteg looks at him.


"Work today is hard. Let alone the poorly educated, the scholar alone should wipe the chest. The competition is very tight and what is needed more is the one who has the skills and experience. But if it is not wrong in Company XZ is in need of employees. Just try tomorrow who knows there's a fortune."


"Where's Ma'am's address ?" this time Sharif opened his voice.


"If from here it's straight for about half an hour nyampe. But if you ride public transportation can be more."


"Thank you for the information and the food, ma'am." Syarif spoke again and did not forget to give a sweet smile to Ms. Rahmi.


After many more small talk with the owner of the newsman they finally went home. But before that Suci first wrapped the food for his mother. This time it's not free. Poor Ms. Rahmi if you continue to love them for free.


Suci was still grateful despite not being able to work but that day he got an unexpected windfall. In addition, you can also get acquainted with Bu Rahmi who is very friendly. And gave Suci information about the workplace that she did not yet know about.

The next morning Holy and Sharif rolled into Company XZ. There are also many other applicants who have arrived there. Syarif has not been lucky because he has not been accepted to work. Meanwhile the Saint was a little lucky because he was given a chance.


"If you can make coffee that is liked by the Boss, you can also work today. In addition, you also have to make the work space as comfortable as possible. The person who used to do the job had already died a month ago. And as long as no one can replace it. Every new OB always fails to impress the Boss. It's been over fifteen people who let down our Boss."


The saint scrunched his forehead.


Is there such a boss ? but I have to try to get this job !


"What kind of coffee and what kind of working room atmosphere does the Boss like ?" trying to ask his boss.


"Where do I know ! the guy he never said either. Now you better get ready before the Chief Director Boss comes. You have to clean the room and provide coffee before 7."


"Where's the room, sir ?"


"On the floor Z."


"Okay sir, I'll try my best."


Bismilbornrahmanirrahim hopefully I can impress the Boss. I really need this job.
