Nadia For Aidan's
Interview 2
“Please enter” sound familiar from inside the room.
Pintupun open, I see a middle-aged woman who is unpretentious with her smile opened
the door let me in. I nodded my head and thanked him.
“I Nadia bu” I said while kissing the woman's hand.
“I am Bu Hana, please sit bu” Bu Hana introduced herself and directed me to the bench that is in front of the big table. Behind the desk was a busy woman with her laptop.
“Sela-mat pa-gi ma...” I was stunned by the figure I saw in front of me.
“Pa-gi The answer was surprised to see me.
“Tante ehh mom...” My cow is confused what to call him
“Lho..Nadia yes?” he asked again to convince her of what she saw.
“Iya bu” my answer quickly.
Then he got up from the bench of his greatness, approached me. I quickly grabbed her hand and kissed her as my respect. My body was pulled into his arms.
“Sweetie why are you here?”
Should I have asked why he was here?
“Yesterday Nadia got a job interview call here bu”
“Call just aunty as usual do not mother, or mama can also” said aunt Vera warmly invites me to sit on the sofa in the middle of the room.
“Nothing bu” replied I was nervous because I was still surprised why Aunt Vera was here. When the security guard said that Vera was waiting, not one bit of my mind went to the aunt Vera I knew. It turns out the world is as wide as a moringa leaf I thought.
“Some time ago Nadia, sent a job application at this school ma'am, and today there is a call to interview” I explained to aunt Vera who still clasped my finger while listening to my explanation.
“So Nadia wants to work here?”
“If received bu” I replied with a smile
“Tante did not know that Nadia applied to this school, this morning Ms. Hana said there were several prospective teachers who would do an interview session this morning. Auntie very happy that came it you, dear”.
“Sorry ma'am, nadia doesn't know that the principal's mother is here”
“Sayang..got to call my mother, rich people who just met aj” protest aunt Vera while pinching my cheek.
“It so happens that this school does belong to aunty family, dear” I just fell silent shocked by the information I just got. This interview session was spent with casual chatter like when I came to Aunt Vera's house when delivering orders. I'll definitely get in trouble when I'm going home, because
aunt Vera will keep holding me back with endless chatter. Now it's the same, thankfully Ms. Hana came to cut our conversation.
“Mother, sorry. Outside there are 2 more people who are waiting for the interview session”
“Good, wait a minute ya bu” replied aunt Vera.
“Darling not feel if you have talked with you aunty likes to forget time. Don't forget that Saturday has to come to my aunt's house. Promise yes!”
“Good aunt, Nadia will come”
“The results of this interview, later will be conveyed further the same bu Hana ya. Whether Nadia is accepted here or not”
I saw the clock on the wall already showing at half ten in the morning. I don't know if it's a job interview or a casual conversation. When it came out of the room, there were already a few people waiting for an interview. They looked at me with sharp eyes. I accelerated my steps away from them by
a big smile but I felt forced. Maybe they're upset about waiting too long.
While walking out of school I ordered an online taxi to take me home, because I told the Imam not to wait for me. No need to wait long, finally my taxi order came. On the way home, I kept thinking how all this could be a coincidence. All this time I never
ask about personal things Aunt Vera, if meeting at least just a regular conversation, like the interview earlier.
Oh my goodness, I remember. Was I acceptable to work there from the beginning Aunt Vera did not ask about my experience working elsewhere, we were just a casual chat. I don't expect much to be accepted there, but my rivals are also many and they seem to be more experienced. I closed my eyes, ending my mind.
“Mbak, it's up to” the voice of the taxi driver who woke me up accidentally asleep
“Ahh, yes sir. Thanks”. I rushed out of the taxi and entered the house.
It turned out that my mother had been waiting for me with curiosity but she endured her curiosity by telling me to change clothes and rest immediately.
After cleaning myself I approached the mother who was sitting on the balcony enjoying the wind from the back garden accompanied by a cup of sweet tea. My mother smiled at my arrival.
“Cape yes brat?” she asked while stroking my hair and kissing my cheeks.
“Gak lah bun, not yet working where might cape”
“So how was the result of the interview?” mother asked curiously
“Bun not yet, tomorrow if I receive will be contacted back” replied me. “bun, know who is the principal there?”
“Emang who's dear? Where do you know?” answer mother confused
“Mother believe not, chief Aunt Vera”
“You mean, aunt Vera who likes our bake sale order? Who met yesterday at the Mall or aunty Vera which is?” mother brushed the question
“Betul bun aunt Vera good it you know..”.
“Then could that be a coincidence? Mother still does not believe
“Truly bun, Nadia aja did not believe me was” I explained everything that happened during an interview this afternoon to mother.

“Mother....mother..”yaku from room out looking for mother. “Mother where bi?” I asked in the kitchen.
“Tadi sih again out, rich again shopping in non.” vegetable kang Answer the Iyah
“What's up?” suddenly my mother entered while carrying her groceries and seemed to hear my screams from outside the house.
“Mother, I received work from Monday tomorrow” I replied excitedly.
“Alhamdulillah, finally the mother's child has got a job.” mother hugged me and kissed my forehead. “Mother is sure your child can do the best.”
“All this thanks do’a mother.” I said while tightening my arms to my mother.
Is all this because of Aunt Vera huh? I may be accepted to work because Aunt Vera has known me before. I want people to see me because of the ability I have. My inner self is doubtful.
"Darling, don't you have an appointment tomorrow to play at Aunt Vera's house?" mother reminded me. "What kind of cake do you think?"
