The closeness of Arumi and Ahmad is increasingly visible, even Ahmad often comes to Arumi's workplace for reasons of eating. However, today the fast and the cafe is only open at four in the afternoon until eleven in the evening. Of course it makes Arumi a little objection because he was afraid if he had to go home alone such nights. He was sure that there would be a lot of danger later and he did not want to take the risk.
Arumi also decided to resign from the cafe, he wanted to apply for a job at the shoe store because there were job openings there. He said bismillah and went into the shoe store.
"Assalamualaikum," he said when he was inside.
The store owner came out, it turns out he is a Muslim because it looks from a very closed way of dressing.
"Excuse me, apologize, madam. Is this opening a job opening? I was looking for work,"
"Well, it's fitting. You're right, you're looking for a worker here because the old woman is out."
Arumi like getting a green light, he also told the store owner if he was ready to work until night and of course not too late.
"really? Is your house not far from here?"
"My house is about thirty minutes from here, ma'am. So, can I work here?"
The gray-veiled woman watched Arumi from top to bottom, she was still a little hesitant because she only knew Arumi today. However, he tried to think positively because the girl in front of him currently looks good.
"Well, you can work today too. Salary problem, I'll give you two million a month, eat me the responsibility and for the bonus, you can get it if your sales exceed the desired target. How's it?"
Arumi immediately nodded in agreement, if he does not work here then where should he find a job again?
After the deal, Arumi starts working on her new routine. She served the buyer as kindly as she could, even the smile on her sweet lips never receded. Tired up? Sure, but Arumi won't give up because she's sure she can.

At ten o'clock in the night, Arumi was home from work. He's waiting for public transport on the side of the highway.
"It's at this hour, where there's public transport. Then I'll book a taxi online. May it come quickly because the weather is also a little cloudy." Arumi looked up at the sky.
Sure enough, the weather is dark cloudy until the stars are not visible up there. In fact, the moon is covered with black clouds. Rainwater began to fall to the earth and there was a fine drizzle. Arumi covered her head using the bag she was holding.
"Oh my God, please don't rain yet." murmured Arumi praying, she looked around. Quite a lot of vehicles passed by on that road.
Almost fifteen minutes Arumi waited but the online taxi of his order did not come, he was bored and tired of continuing to stand on the side of the road like that. Until finally, Arumi intends to walk alone and cancel his online taxi order.
When he had walked for three hundred meters, someone called Arumi and suddenly the girl looked back. His smile came when he saw the person who called him.
"Sir Arif!" exclaiming Arumi continued to look at Arif opposite to him.
Arumi looked to the right and left until she decided to run small to get to Arif. However, just as he was about to get near the man, a motor speeded up to make Arumi startled and Arif's reflexes pulled on the girl's arm.
The second position at this time is Arumi's body leaning on the body of the car and Arif's hand holding both shoulders. Arumi is in the power of Arif, even the distance between the two is very close, Arif's breath feels swept across Arumi's facial skin and it makes the girl close her eyes for a moment and then re-open it. They look at each other.
Arumi sensed a strange hissing in her body, she continued to stare at Arif without even blinking an inch. The admiration grew more and more because he saw the man's face up close like now.
Arif realized from that position, he immediately moved away and beristighfar. "Astaghfirullah, I'm sorry, Arumi" she said badly."
Arumi just smiled thinly. "No pa-pa, brother. You don't have to apologize because I should have said thank you. If you weren't there, then maybe I'd been dragged by that bike."
"You just got home from work?" asked Arif while looking down.
"Yes, I happen to want to go home. What is Arif here himself? Didn't Kam Aisyah come?"
Arif shakes. "I was alone, Aisyah asked for a snack so that I bought it to the supermarket while looking for the needs of a house that has run out." The following made Arumi even more amazed.
"Sir Arif shopping?"
Arif put his shoulder out. "Aisyah is pregnant, I don't want to make her bother and exhausted." Arif explained to Arumi.
''What ''What! Is Aisyah pregnant? Well, congratulations brother."
"Thank God, Arumi. Thank you,"
Arumi nodded. "Well, I have to go home soon because it's getting late. Tomorrow I have to work again" he hurried to leave Arif.
Arif saw Arumi leaving, he got into the car but just opened the door, he heard the sound of lightning striking. In fact, the drizzle began to come down. He looks back at Arumi who is already invisible, he actually wants to take Arumi home together but he is confused by all that.
"If I don't take her, then she'll definitely get caught in the rain. But, if I invite her, then that is me already dare to be in one car along with other girls who are not my muhrim. How'this?" Arif thought for a moment until the sound of lightning again sounded stronger.
Humanity makes Arif intend to take Arumi home together, he got into the car and drove him away from there. After a few meters, she sees Arumi walking fast, maybe the girl wants to avoid the rain and she hopes to get home before it rains.
Arif claskon made Arumi turn and stop.
"Arumy! Come on up, the rain will soon fall and the lightning is also very much." shouted Arif who was still in the car, he just gushed his head from the window.
Arumi thought for a moment, she did not refuse as the weather got worse. He got into the car and at speed with it, a heavy rain fell on the earth.
"Huft, thank goodness. Fortunately, I was in the car. Thank you, brother." said Arumi with a smile.
"Sama-sama," answered Arif and drove the car away from the place.
In the car the two just fell silent to each other accompanied by the swift rain speck out there. Arif drove his car a little slowly, because the weather did not allow him to drive fast.
