MY HANDSOME GIRL'S

CHAPTER 18

Apparently finding a job with the status of still a student is very difficult. I've been trying to apply to shops from big to small. No one even got to the rice stall to accept me.

Yes, after Bisma and Rinjani left. I rushed out of the complex to find work. Actually me and Bhishma are still a complex, only a few blocks apart. It was only when I realized that Rinjani was Bhishma's sister.

Sometimes I wipe the sweat running down my forehead. The sun is getting lower and the weather is getting hotter. Where else do I have to walk. All I've been through, but I've produced nothing. Suddenly from a distance I saw a Father who seemed to be in need of help. In front of him was parked a car with the front guard of the car open.

I rushed to him too.

"Sorry, Sir. Why car?" ask me when I'm next to him.

"No idea, Deck. Suddenly my car broke down" said the father, scratching his head which was clearly not itchy.

"Let me check first, sir." I asked permission to check the car.

The middle-aged man looked unsure of me. "Can you, brother?"

"Please calm down, sir. I also know about the machine."

Yeah, I forgot to tell you that I also understand mechanics. I really learned all about a man's hobbies and profession. But all of that still doesn't change Papa's view of me.

I immediately checked the engine on the front of the car. I think it's easy just

The radiator problem. It took me a few minutes to tinker with the car's engine …

and it's done.

"Try now you turn on the machine!" my orders when I finished fixing the car engine.

The man immediately checked his car. And the result was that the car was successfully restarted.

"Well, you're great, yeah. The car is back on" he praised me.

I'm flattered embarrassed. "Thank you, sir."

"There are rarely girls who can be mechanical."

"Ah, I can."

"I'm serious .. oh yeah, where do you want to go when you look confused?"

"Yes, Sir. I'm actually looking for work."

"Want work? You still look too young to work. Looks like you're still in school even you're the same age as my son. Or have you dropped out of school?"

"I'm actually still in school, sir. It's just an economic problem that I took a vacation to find a part-time job."

"It is difficult to find a part-time job especially with a status that is still a student."

This talk made me almost hopeless. Do I have to give up.

For a few seconds the father was thinking while propping up his chin and then he said. "But, after seeing your abilities. Maybe I can hire you in my workshop?"

I gawked at the impromptu offer.

"Yes, I'm actually a boss at the workshop. But fixing the car broke down I just couldn't. Weird huh?" Then he laughed softly. "How, did you accept my offer? You can work from school until night. Just don't interfere with your learning."

I immediately clenched my mouth that from then on probably gaping to make the door open for flies who want to enter (luckily no flies really enter). I immediately nodded in spirit.

"Just start tomorrow. Go home from school you come straight to my workshop." Then he reached into his wallet and pulled out a card. "This is my business card. The address of the workshop is there."

I greeted the business card with great pleasure. "Thank you very much, sir"

"Then I go first." After saying so. Mr. Rudi, I know his name from the business card he just gave me. Get in the car and drive away from me.

I looked at the business card with a very happy feeling. My efforts were not in vain at last. As the saying goes, results do not betray effort. I smiled and decided to go back to Bhishma's house.

***

Something was strange this morning at school. Of course it was because of the views of the disciples who were looking at me unusually. This time they whispered to each other. I was thinking strangely, why don't everyone act like normal. Why are they looking at me with disgusting eyes.

"Al, are you really living in the house of Bhishma?" yayu asked when I just put my ass on the chair.

I squinted my eyes. "Kok you know?"

Yayu widened her eyes. "Oh my goodness, Al. So is the bird true? What is your relationship with Bhishma?"

“There is indeed a rumor about what I am with Bhishma?”

“You know, Al? Eunike told people that you are a girl .. mmm ..” Yayu looks hesitant to say it. “Witch, because it has dared to stay with someone who has not had a legitimate bond.”

I widened my eyes, not believing what I just heard from Yayu's mouth. “Serius Eunike said that? It is only fitting that along the corridor of the school I felt strange as the eyes of those who saw me.” I drowned on the table.

"You don't misunderstand me first. I'll tell you everything, Yu."

I confirmed my sitting position and told her everything from the moment I broke Papa's antique urn. Until he escaped from the house and was accommodated by Bisma.

"Oh my goodness, Al. Why didn't you tell me. You will be able to stay in my house" Yayu said with concern.

"Sorry, Yu. It all happened so fast."

"So you didn't go to school yesterday because you were looking for work? I thought you were sick, Al. I'm so worried about you."

I smile. "Still, Yu. You care about me."

"Either. If you need help, don't talk to me."

I'm nodding. I just found out that Eunike has been spreading rumors that are not about me. Luckily, Yayu told me everything. I was really mad at him. If only I had the chance to slap him again. I will definitely do it.

After school I immediately looked for the address of the workshop listed on the business card that I was currently holding.

After a few minutes I finally arrived in front of a workshop. The workshop looked small at the front, but when I entered it, the room inside was large enough to accommodate several cars. The frenzy of the machine that sounded coupled with the men in the deck look that then made me confused.

I went there looking for someone. From a distance I saw the stature of the person I was looking for. I approached him too.

"Excuse me, sir."

Mr. Rudi turned his body. Then he smiled at me. "It turns out you're really serious about working here. I thought you'd rethink my offer."

"Rezeki can't be refused, sir," I smiled back.

"Yes, then go with me to the room to get the uniform" he ordered. I also followed behind him.

I watched the guys around me watching me. Maybe they wonder why there is a girl who wants to work here (that's even if they realize that I'm a girl).
