As Indi had promised, he would take Edwin to apply to a cruise ship agent. Edwin had already prepared his cover letter and he was also very well dressed. Early in the morning Edwin had arrived at Indi's house.
India is also getting ready. They had apparently made a previous agreement, Edwin would pick him up today at seven in the morning. Indi also took three days off from work to accompany Edwin.
After the two were ready, they set off on Edwin's matic motorcycle. Indi was piggybacked, he was just a hint of direction.
Within half an hour, they were there. Edwin accompanied Indi into a large office. That's the agent for working on a dream cruise ship for many people. It seemed that dozens of well-dressed people were already present and queuing there.
Edwin came at the right time. Today there was an interview with the ship manager. Incidentally, so Edwin did not have to wait for days or even months to get the interview test because the ship manager usually came once a few months only.
At the request of the front office staff, Indi waited outside the office while Edwin had to wait in the waiting room that had been provided in the office.
"Pray me." Edwin smiled asking for prayers from Indi. He will undergo an interview test today. Faster than he imagined.
"definitely. I'm with you." Indi returned Edwin's smile.
Edwin then went back into the waiting room.
The office is located in a large mall complex. Even so, Indi was alone outside.
He sat in the park playing with his phone. An hour, two hours passed, and there was no sign of Edwin emerging from the office.
Indi walked back and forth while glancing at the waiting room. Edwin was still sitting there with dozens of other people. Some have just come, some have finished being interviewed and are ready to leave the place. The more crowded the office.
Indi was bored. He walked into the mall and roamed there himself. "I'd better go to the supermarket." thought Indi.
He immediately headed for the supermarket on the bottom floor. He bought some drinks and snacks. He already knew Edwin's favorite drink when they went to the minimarket that night.
After shopping, Indi again walked to the agent's office.he sat in a row of chairs not far from the office.
"I just bought a drink. If you're thirsty, come out. I'm right by the door." Indi sent the message to Edwin. He knew Edwin must be very thirsty to be in there.
In an instant, Edwin appeared before him.
"Where's my drink?" said.
Indi handed over one plastic containing many foods and drinks.
"You choose" said Indi.
Edwin took one of his favorite drinks and sat down next to Indi. He immediately opened the bottle cap and gulped down the contents.
"Still long?" ask Indi.
"less to know. Maybe I should wait for a few more people before it's my turn. Wh why? Are you bored?" Edwin stroked Indi's hair.
"Not really. I'll wait." Sahut Indi full of smiles.
"I go in first. Thanks for the drink." Edwin got up and walked to the office where he was waiting.
Indi just smiled seeing Edwin walking away from him. In his heart kept praying that Edwin would succeed.

Inside the room, one after another candidates were called to enter the special room. There is already a ship manager who will interview all participants.
Some are inside for just a moment, some are a bit long. Edwin watched everyone who came out of the room. From their expressions, Edwin can already guess the decision of the user (the person who interviewed them).
Edwin looked nervous. But considering Indi was waiting for him outside, Edwin felt he had the strength to get through this day very well.
"Edwin Wahyudinata." A front office staff called her name.
Edwin stood up to the woman.
"Please come in." Her speech.
Edwin stepped towards the room he was showing.
He saw two well-looking foreign nationals ready to bombard him with a million questions.
Team users asked several questions to find out how far Edwin's ability to the position he applied.
Several times they nodded their heads in agreement with each of Edwin's explanations for the questions they were asking.
They were amazed by Edwin. From the way he answered the questions and the details of the answers in each question, they could draw the conclusion that Edwin is one of their crew candidates who are highly competent.
Nearly half an hour they interviewed Edwin. Team users feel it is enough because there are still many candidates that they have to interview. They submitted Edwin's application letter which had been filled with special codes by the user team.
"Make this up to the front office staff. See you on the ship" said one user in English.
"Thank you." Answer Edwin.
Edwin smiled with satisfaction. The team user's words meant he was accepted. "Yessss" Edwin cheered inwardly.
Then he handed the application letter to the front office staff in accordance with the orders of the team user.
"Good father Edwin, you're welcome. We will contact you by phone for further processing. Please always turn on your phone" said a staff member.
"Good, thanks. Now what should I do?"
"You can leave this place and wait for a call from us" he said.
"At the latest in three business days, we'll contact you." The front office staff.
Edwin immediately went out to meet Indi who had been waiting for him.
Indi threw a smile when he saw Edwin walking over to him.
"Have you got a turn?" ask Indi.
"It has. I'm done with the interview" he said.
"Trus, how did it go?"
"Try guessing."
"You're definitely welcome, right?" Indi is very sure.
"It's all because of your prayers." Edwin.
"Ah, not really. Because you are competent. Congratulations, you are amazing." Indi Say.
Edwin's body was itching to hug Indi. But he had to put up with it because they were in a public place.
"Where are we going now?" ask Indi.
"Eat first, after that it's up to you where you're going." Edwin grabbed Indi's hand and held her.
The heart of India is beating fast. He turned his head as if to ascertain whether Edwin was intentionally or not holding his hand.
Edwin knew Indi was watching him and surely Indi was shocked because he suddenly grasped Indi's hand tightly.
"Let me hold this hand." Edwin said as he walked towards the motor park.
Indi walked next to Edwin. He was trying to control his heartbeat, which Edwin had made unnatural.
"What do you want to eat?" ask Edwin.
"Anything is up to you."
"I like chicken soto. I haven't eaten that food in a long time. You want to eat chicken soto?" Edwin gave me an idea.
Actually Indi does not like to eat chicken soto. But for Edwin's sake, well he'll try.
"Yes, I'm coming" he replied.
