This afternoon, Shakira was still in the living room of her rented house. He still seemed to be chatting with his best friend Yuli.
"Shakira, there is good news for you" said Yuli.
"What happy news?" ask Shakira.
"Shakira, there's good work for you." Yuli.
"What good work?"
"So the maid went home, do you want to?"
"What! a maid? duh, why should the maid. What else is there to do besides helpers?"
"Yes, if not your maid, what would you like to do? your age is already thirty-five. Rarely will any company accept employees your age."
"But I have work experience."
"Yes. But that is not the case, if you are already over thirty-five. Maybe, if Safia your sister can still work in the company. But if it's for you, it's hard because of age."
"The hell..." Shakira still can't believe it.
"Credicate with me. There are rarely companies that want to hire employees your age. There are, but rarely."
Shakira looked sad when she heard the words of her best friend.
After selling one of his parents' rice fields in the village, Shakira then brought his parents and children to the city.
They went to town on purpose, because they had a purpose. First Shakira wanted to find work, Miss Astri and Pak Junedi wanted to find Safia, and lastly, Pak Junedi wanted to go to the city.
At this time, finding a job in the village is also difficult. Ms. Astri is also confused because her sales in the village are always quiet. While he still needs a lot of money for Mr. Junedi's treatment.
Shakira was silent. During her lifetime, she had never been a maid. And now her best friend offers her a job as a maid.
Shakira was really confused. She's a prestige dong, if she has to be a maid. Because for Shakira to be a maid is the lowest job among all jobs.
I had to be a maid. Yes, the salary of the maid is good, but I was a maid. I was never a maid. It is not appropriate that I be a helper." Inner Shakira.
Shakira still seemed to think.
"Kira. How's it? you want to not? good enough, this salary," said Yuli.
"But I don't want to be a maid. Any other work if there is."
"Yes. But it's hard to find another job. Most of the vacancies here are ART."
On the sidelines of Shakira and Yuli chatting, Ms. Astri appeared with two glasses of warm sweet tea.
"Here, I make you warm tea" said Ms. Astri as she placed the two glasses of warm sweet tea on the table.
"Thank you, ma'am" said Yuli.
"Yes. You welcome. Come on drink Nak Yuli."
"Yes Mom. I will drink. It's still hot."
Astri then sat down near Shakira.
"Where? did Nak Yuli get any job information for my son Shakira? " ask Miss Astri.
"There's a Mom. But there are only ART vacancies. Household assistant ma'am. I don't know if Shakira wants to or not" Yuli said.
"Oh... Art? You want to be Art Shakira?" astri asked Shakira.
Shakira shrugged her shoulders.
"don't know. I'm confused Mom. I have never been a maid. I have to be a maid."
"It's okay. Mah work, what is important halal. Is that Nak Yuli?"
Yuli nodded. "Yes Mom. Right."." Right."
Shakira was silent and seemed to digest all of her mother's words.
"The beginning of our purpose here will change fate. You remember, you brought us here because you wanted to find work and the mother you told to take care of your child."
"But it doesn't have to be a maid, too, ma'am,"
"But this isn't Kir. Can go home. You can still see your child" Yuli said.
"Shakira, what else do you think. Accept that job." Ms. Astri has since persuaded her son to accept work from Yuli.
"If I think yes Mom, for a while Shakira was working first to be ART. Later if there is a job vacancy suitable for Shakira, then she can leave her ART job."
Shakira seemed to think. What his mother said was true. Mah work, what is important halal. Shakira's first destination to the city is also because she wants to find work, find Safia and treat her father's illness.
"Yes that. I wanna. When does it work?" shakira asks who finally received a job offer from her best friend.
"If it's time I don't know. But I'll call again boss."
"Yes." Yeah."

This morning, Rama looked good. He was still standing in front of the mirror while staring at his reflection in front of the mirror. Vika smiled when she saw Rama. He then approached Rama.
"Mas Rama, where are you going? tumben early in the morning gini is neat. It's sunday. You want to make sure me and Liza walk ya, why not say it first, anyway. We can be ready" said Vika.
Rama turned his body and faced towards Vika.
"Darling, I've got a little need outside. I have another appointment with a friend."
"Whose promise? what kind of guy's girlfriend?" vika asked looking at Rama suspiciously.
"I have an appointment with Anna. Today I made a pact with him, play with him."
Vika knitted her brows.
"Anna?"
"Yes. You want to come to Anna's house too?"
Vika seemed to think.
Anna ? who the hell is Anna. Is it true that it is an affair of Mas Rama. But if Anna was Mas Rama's affair, why would she make me go to Anna's house. It may be true that Mas Rama said, that Anna was just a little girl as Liza. I have to think positively with Rama.
"Hey, why are you so dumb? you want to come to Anna's house?" rama asked his wife again.
"No. You're the one who went to Anna's house."
"Well, sometime, I'll bring Anna here. Let you and Liza know Anna. Anna is a good boy and an accomplished child. He was born to an incapacitated family, his father also died. He's an orphan."
Vika manggut-mangut understands.
"Yes Mas. You want to go straight away? or do you want to have breakfast first?"
"No need. I'm going straight to Anna's house."
Vika nodded. Before Rama leaves, Vika kisses the back of Rama's hand.
"I go first, baby" said Rama. After that he kissed his wife.
Rama then stepped out of his house followed by Vika behind him.
"Mas Rama, be careful."
"Yes dear. Liza's still sleeping, right?"
"Yes. Liza's still sleeping."
Rama then got into his car. After that, he left his house. Vika went back inside her house.
