Restore Your Smile
James's Agility
In the next few days, James resumed his activities to find work. He again made a job application letter and prepared the files to be sent to the equivalent schools of Junior High School and High School in his city.
He also gets word from Wendy that Cindy will be sent abroad by her parents. His foreign affairs where or majoring what, he was not told. What is clear is that the reason her parents sent Cindy abroad was to defuse rumors among her relatives and acquaintances due to Cindy's actions.
Related to the issue of rumors, whether it still has to do with the camping incident or not, until now James has not received a job call or interview. Though a month has passed since the job application letters he sent to the schools he targeted. Could it be that the other schools had heard of the event that destroyed his good name?
James was getting nervous. But he still tries to think positively by considering it as a mere coinsidence. He chose to assume that these schools may not have opened vacancies to find a BK teacher.
The condition of James who is not earning, also affects the promise of a visit to Celine's house which was previously proclaimed 1-2 months. He asked Celine to suspend the visit until her financial condition stabilized again. Understandably, the cost is quite large because of the considerable distance.
To ask for financial support from his parents, obviously he did not want to. He was ashamed of his age which should have been independent and no longer be a parent's dependency.
It was fortunate that Celine understood the hardships she was experiencing. Celine also promised to attach the body to Mr. Adipratama, If the condition of James who did not visit is until questioned by the Father. James is very grateful for the understanding and support of his lover.
Time passes quickly. Two months already James had become a true unemployed.
"Aren't you looking for a job other than a teacher, James?" asked his mother one Sunday afternoon.
"But not to think about changing professions anyway, Ma .." replied James.
"Well, is Bang James trying to find a teacher's job in Celine? Celine will help find vacancies there. Counting, who knows it could also be the answer to our problem about domicile after marriage, right?" celine's usual proposal is to visit Wijaya's residence every weekend.
James was stunned to hear Celine's words.
"Now, James. Want to try to find your luck in another city?" keep up Mama Ratna.
"Don't matter if James is away from Mama-Papa? Is it customary for the last boy to take care of his parents?" James asked back.
Mama Ratna smiled knowing the attention and one of the considerations of her son is herself and her husband. "That's the rule, but your future is important too, right? Pray that Mama-Papa is always healthy. Even if you have success there, whenever you can visit us. There is also your brother here. So we're gonna be okay!" abugn.
Celine's eyes sparkled knowing Mama Ratna was supporting her advice. Now he just had to hope for James' answer. And James knows it.
"Let's think about it again, "he said in a cold tone, which instantly dimmed Celine's spirit.
Mama Ratna and Celine could only look at each other and sigh. They no longer know what to say. All thoughtful suggestions have been expressed at this time. The decision is in James' hands. They can only wait with a little worry.
Contrary to what Celine expected, James was offended by Celine's proposal. She feels Celine is taking advantage of her situation to fulfill her own interests without thinking about it from James' point of view.
In addition, he said Celine deliberately expressed her proposal in front of Ratna's mother to get support from her mother. He felt Celine's way was sneaky. For the first time in his life, James felt annoyed at Celine.
That was why in the following days, he made another strategy for his future. He chose to switch professions, the important thing is still working in this city. As such, what Celine expected also did not happen. It's good to have people move around the city domicile and leave ortu and fight custom ! he thought.
As a first step, James began to find out the Hospital - Hospital that has rehabilitation center facilities in his city. Hospital - The Hospital was classified as a large RS that has classes A and B in its classification.
He wanted to start his career in a smaller RS like RS class C or class D, because he did not have experience in this new environment. The problem is that the smallest RS class that has rehabilitation services for a counselor is class B. Because he did not dare to directly apply to a large RS such as Class A, so he pursed his job application only in RS class B.
After the new job application letters were prepared, James also intended to go to the RS-RS he targeted to enter his application.
"To the Hospital, " replied James short.
Mother's surprised. "You sick?" ask her with a worried tone.
"Ga. Want to enter the job application, " replied James casually.
Mama Ratna was stunned. Just a few days ago his son said he had not thought about changing professions. Even what he said he would think about was trying his luck in another city. How did it suddenly turn out this way?
"Kok suddenly changed his mind to change professions, James? Wouldn't it be better to accept Celine's offer?" angled mama.
"That's exactly what James wanted to avoid, Ma .... With Celine's status and power, it's possible that Celine could easily get a job for James. James doesn't want to! James wanted to get it with James' own efforts!
After James found out about his job description, the counselor at RS was not much different from the teacher BK really. The only difference is the client that is faced and the type of problem. There's no harm in trying something new?" james was trying to hide his real reason.
Mama Ratna sighed. "Yes if you think so .... Good luck, son ...." Not long after, James had already passed with his bike.
...****************...
Days and weeks passed. Every day James waited for a reply or news from the RS-RS who sent him a job application with anxious hope. But what awaited did not arrive. Maybe because James had never had work experience at the Hospital, which made him lose to competing with other prospective counselors.
Celine had already been informed of James' decision to change professions rather than change cities. Although a little disappointed, he still supports the decision of his lover.
Nearly three months into James's job. One more promise related to his future plans with Celine, back must he be put on hold. Engagement promise.
The promise that the plan will be realized in six months, three months has passed without any significant progress. What should be prepared, if there is no money?
If all the financing is left to Celine's side, he obviously objected. Cuisine he just carry the body? How is it different from selling? His pride will not allow that.
Therefore, James once again asked Celine's understanding to suspend their engagement. And coming back understandingly, Celine understood James' decision without much debate.
James himself wanted to go to Celine's father in connection with the suspension of this engagement. He wanted to manfully ask for Mr. Adipratama's understanding, because after all this promise was a promise he made to prove his seriousness to Celine.
But Celine prevented it. Celine said that she herself would give understanding to the Father. Celine's reasoning was simple, she didn't want James to waste money just on transportation to her city for business she could still handle. He chose James to focus on finding a job.
Celine knows James' savings are already in a worrying condition and she also quite recognizes the character of her lover. Wherever possible James would accept his help for transportation costs to his city, or ask for money from his parents. His girlfriend would rather sell his kidney than do that.
Celine's understanding and support for her situation put James to shame. How well the Beloved really knows himself and even helps him to keep his pride.
He regretted having thought petty thoughts to Celine. Maybe God did not want him to start his new career with the wrong motivation.
Therefore, James promised in his heart. If until this month ends he has not received a work call, he will give up. He will follow Celine's advice and pit his fate on the new city.
