Tonight the gods stay at the house of his best friend, Soleh Munawar. A simple house that has three rooms. The first room was occupied by Soleh's parents. The second room is occupied by the sister of Soleh and the third room is occupied by the older brother of Soleh with his wife and a child.

"I'm sorry Wa. The cave can only ngajak lo sleep here," said Soleh while holding a floor mattress in the tv room. "Ga to the room."

"No papa kok Sol .. I'm the one who apologized for ngerepotin." The god laid himself on the bed of the floor. "Tomorrow we look for a contract yuk," he said.

"Yes .. I've said bokap and bokap I already ngijinin I ngontrak home together lo." The soles also lay themselves on the floor mattress.

"Gue wants to find work, Sol," said the god with a glaring gaze staring at the ceiling.

"Lo ready to apply, I'll anter you apply for work."

"Gua ain't got a diploma, Sol."

"Hah .. if you have no diploma how to apply for a job." Sol lay facing him.

"Gue don't think about degree...." The god swatted a mosquito that flashed in front of his face. "What work does not need to use a diploma," he continued.

"Emm. oiya, my neighbor yesterday just stopped working at what restaurant the restaurant is. Try it tomorrow I ask what in the restaurant where he worked first, still need employees." Sol wakes up, he seems to be looking for something.

"Well, you can. The cave wants," said the excited god.

"Yes, the tanya cave." Sol had gotten what she was looking for - a mosquito-burning cure, then burned her spiral tip.

"Here many mosquitoes, Wa ... must use this." Soles stick mosquito repellent burn to zinc buffer. "Never sleep with a ginian," he said.

God smiled, not because he responded to Sol's words but He was remembering the moment last afternoon about his meeting with an angel, a wingless angel who turned out to be named Mimin. A simple name. But it is not simple to describe how the beauty looks. Definition of beautiful inside out. As Bi Siti said ". geulis, bageur, solehah, top markotop, endol surendol pokona mah."

Before actually falling asleep, the God smiled once more. Wishing in his sleep tonight, he would dream. Dream of meeting Mimin the angel.

The Dawn had risen and Azan was reverberating. His body felt shaken by someone. Sol woke him up. "Wa .. wake up!"

Although it felt heavy, God tried to open his eyelids. "What time is Sol?" tanyakanya.

"Hour half-five" Sol replied.

"Etdah busyet .. still dawn ijo ngapain built. Whoooaam.." God's murmur ends with a wide yawn.

"Salat Wa .. salat .. salat." The gods were unmoved by Sol's words.

"If here should pray Wa. You can say if you don't want to pray." Sol spoke in the ears of the Gods to make it sound clear.

The gods instantly soared. "Yes yes .. I wake up," said the God resigned.

"Yuk lah wudu continue to pray," asked Sol.

"Well... Salad."

"Yes... Come on..." Sol pulled his hand. Inevitably the Gods followed Sol, wudu then salat.

A god is not a person who has never prayed during his life. He had prayed, long ago, long ago, too long so he forgot when he last prayed. Because carried away with the environment of the house where his mother, father, and brother never performed prayers, he also became involved and accustomed to not performing prayers.

The morning sun slowly began to rise. God and Sol arrive at a place. The god read the big script that was there The Eel Raos Dinner House. He then went to that place to apply for a job. Unexpectedly, he was immediately accepted and started working right then and there. He immediately went to Sol to tell him that he was working today.

This dining house consists of two concepts, indoor and outdoor. For outdoor there are some neatly lined saung. And it turns out for this large restaurant only has five employees, including chefs.

Lunch time is the busiest time for all employees. Gods work ranging from helping chefs catch eels, writing guest order menus, sending food to guests, cleaning up the former guests, even to become a parking attendant.

In the evening the new God came home with Sol. They got home at ten in the night. Because he was too tired, he fell asleep.

The next day before leaving for work, Dewa and Sol agree to find a contract. They began to drive around looking for a contract from half-time to seven in the morning. Finding a contract is not as easy as imagined. Some are suitable, but they have to wait three weeks until the previous rented occupants finish packing and moving out. That too they have to give up DP by fifty percent.

"What do you think, Wa?" ask Sol.

"Udah ah, tomorrow we continue. Now I want to work first," replied the God as he glanced at the watch in his hand. "Later I'll be late" he continued.

Sol escorted God to work and then, as usual, he went straight to the stall to help his father. Sol's daily activities were to keep her father's hijab and veil stall.

The god glanced at the clock in his hand. He realized it was five minutes late. When he was about to enter, in front of the door stood a bald-headed and potbellied man who was none other than his boss.

"What time is it!" snapped the Boss.

"Sorry sir, I'm late." The god spoke with a bow to appreciate his boss.

"You I fired!!"

Gods surprised. "Why am I fired sir?!"

"Pake it again. Because you're already late," explained the Boss haughtily.

"But sir, I'm only five minutes late." The gods defend themselves.

"What did you say?! Just five minutes?! If you are five seconds late, I will fire. Because that means you're an individual who can't appreciate time."

The god shook his head, now he stared intently at the bald-headed and potbellied man.

"Oh so. Please fire me. Because I also don't want to work with humans who can't humanize humans!" he said it firmly and loudly.

"I can report you to the ministry of labor. You have applied the rode work here! A restaurant of this size only has five employees, which is really only. His salary was far below standard. Contrary to labor laws." He spoke with fire.

"How dare you be with me!!" The face of the bald-headed and potbellied man was already red with anger. Then roll up his sleeves.

"Dangerous." murmured God.

The god immediately took a thousand steps. Not out of fear but he knew enough himself that this was a land of people, he was just a stranger here.

"Hey... Here you! Look out for you!" the Boss shouted as he continued to chase after him.

The gods keep running. He stopped running after believing the man was no longer chasing him.

"Morning has been sports .. chased by greyhounds, guk guk," he murmured with gasping breath.

The god sits on a big rock on the side of the road. He drank mineral water in the form of a glass that he bought after going around looking for a contract with Sol. He drank it up to the toilet.

Uhuk... Uhuk... Uhuk...

Not far from where he was sitting, an old man in a hat was coughing.

"Cough Mr. Haji." greet the Gods. His hands thrust mineral water in the form of a glass for the Father to copy.
