Shackled Two Flavors

Job Search

Late at night I waited for a notification from my phone hoping that mom or dad could send money immediately, I could not survive and calm down when my money was only 200 thousand rupiahs left, until finally I fell asleep because I waited for a notification that never came.

In the morning before and I wake up in a hurry to check my phone again hoping the transfer notification already exists but it does not exist yet, either, at that time I realized maybe my father and mother really forgot to send the money to me, I immediately prepared to go to school and it just so happened that today was the last day of school learning was not effective and the homeroom teacher announced that the class break was only two weeks, the students cheered with excitement because they were waiting for this long holiday, only I was bowed lethargic and lazy.

What can I expect with a long holiday at the end of the year like this, my parents even have no news, Audy has also moved, living only alone vacation even no money, no money, when I was looking down lethargic arrived Bara's feet came with Vera's feet and Nandito's feet, they walked up to me.

At first I thought the three of them wanted to talk to me but it turned out to be wrong, they spoke to Alvaro who was sitting next to me.

"Alvaro race is held the day after tomorrow, and will be held in the hall of Nusa State High School which is in the city xx, and Talita this VIP card that I promised, and will be held in the hall, with this you can enter the field with Vera and Nandito as well as our basketball teacher" said Mr. Bara while giving a piece of paper to me.

I was very happy and immediately emitted a cheerful face for a moment.

"Bah... Really?, I will definitely come" I replied cheerfully.

Brother Bara and the others immediately left and Alvaro kept looking at me cynically as if he was ready to pounce on me at any moment.

"Hey.. Alvaro you're why, don't you like to see me happy" I said a little uncomfortable with his gaze,

"I'm warning you not to get close to Bara he's a playboy if you still ngeyel approach him you'll cry later!" Alvaro warned me, saying,

"What the hell are you doing is managing my business, let it be important I like to see him ahh he is perfect" I said with a big smile.

Suddenly Alvaro hit the table hard and left the classroom just like that, I was instantly silent and confused but I didn't want to think too deeply and I chose to read romantic comics because my heart was blossoming now.

"Ah... Brother Nandito knew yesterday I could not see the game of basketball, the day after I would be the front and no one would say me short again" I said as I continued to develop a smile on the face.

After school broke up I intended to find a job because mom and dad haven't given me monthly money, after school I immediately went to some shops that were in the school there was a small cafe where children's tongkrongan and there was also a grocery store, I came there without changing school uniforms first because I thought if I went home and changed uniforms first it would take a long time and maybe the store would close.

Although embarrassed and awkward I kept trying to get myself together first I went to the grocery store and asked if they needed a new employee or not and their answer was no, I did not break my spirits and tried again to some store next to him but it turns out looking for a job is not as easy as I imagine especially my age is still underage, the five shops that were there already I went to and all of them said the same thing that they do not accept part-time workers.

I was confused and chose to sit down on the side of the road first.

"How else must I get money" I grumbled in confusion.

"Talita, what are you doing here?" Ask Brother Bara,

"It's okay that I'm just looking for a job" I replied honestly,

"What's the job?, for whom?" Ask the surprised brother Bara,

"Of course it is for whom else, brother" I replied firmly,

"But you're still in second grade at Talita High School, and don't I just say your mother has paid off all your school fees, what else?" Said Brother Bara furrowing his eyebrows together,

"I've not received any money from my parents, and I also find it difficult to contact them so I have to work to meet my own living expenses" I explained.

Actually I was embarrassed to talk about this personal matter to Brother Bara but when I was sad and did not know who to ask for help even brother Bara who came so I accidentally said all my distress just like that.

Brother Bara reached out his hand and he helped me up and then asked me to get into his car, he said he would help me get a job, I was so happy and went straight into his car.

It turned out that Bara took me to a cafe on the border of the city, the cafe was also the place I had been with Kak Bara before, although at first I was confused why Brother Bara brought me to that place but after he introduced me to the cafe manager I began to understand he really helped me get a job.

"Sir if there are still vacancies in this cafe, my friend is in need of a job" said Bara asked the cafe's manager,

"Actually if the cafe is not there but if he really needs it once he can work to help the chef in the restaurant sebrang road there, most of his duties are just washing dishes and cleaning the table, because he is still in school he can also work part-time there" said the cafe manager told,

Kak Bara also thanked and said goodbye then we both immediately went to the restaurant mentioned by the previous cafe manager and when asked it turned out that it was right there was in need of a chef assistant to help him compile food ingredients and wash the dishes, at first Brother Bara asked my ability first.

"Talita how do you want it?" Ask Brother Bara,

"Of course any job I want is halal and can be part-time" I replied enthusiastically,

I also immediately started working on that day while Bara's sister left, I am very grateful and happy to be able to get a job even though the distance is quite far from my home but can still be reached by public transportation, moreover, what helped me get the job was an older brother Bara, the man I liked in silence how unhappy I was to try.

I work with passion and get acquainted with the chef there whose name is Kevin in view of his face it seems that he is not too old maybe only a few years apart from me, he greeted me kindly and began to explain what I had to do and he also taught me how to arrange vegetables and other ingredients that he would later cook, I nodded obediently and began to study everything one by one.
