THE MYSTERY OF PAST MATCHMAKING
Dera's looking for a job
Dera who was left by Santi this afternoon to work wash his face and prepare to go looking for work. He didn't want to bother Santi for too long. Especially if Dera and Santi are often together will make Santi know if he is pregnant. Dera avoids it all lest both her parents will also know it.
By changing his clothes Dera immediately walked outside to look for the information he was looking for. Don't let him just sit on his hands later. Until finally Dera walked from shophouse one to the next shophouse and saw a notice board about job vacancies. Because he does not have a mobile phone and diploma confiscated by Aran it will be difficult for him to apply for work in a factory or large store.
With that consideration Dera finally chose a job that if he could do to bear his life again. A good job without selling yourself. Living in the city of Jakarta he knows it is not easy for him then he must do anything to connect his life. Slowly, Dera finally found what she was looking for. While drinking warm tea he read a sheet he accidentally found in a pack of cat rice. Because the money is still a little he chose snacks in angkringan which is a little affordable price. Ordering one warm tea and 2 fry can still be paid Dera with 5 thousand only. Out of curiosity, Dera finally read again the full address of the work he read earlier.
"But if the Scout Road no 78 is the direction where is it sir?", Dera asked the angkringan seller sir.
"Yes not far away neng most stay some shophouses just turn the direction if walking, but if using a car or motorcycle must turn back again".
"Yes, thank you, how long am I, sir?"
After paying for the food Dera was directly walking in the direction where he was directed earlier. Although this is only the first way through this path but Dera is sure if he will not lose his direction because he has obeyed what the father said earlier. But just as he wanted to cross the road how surprised he was because he did not look to the left right first. There was a car driving in front of him right now.
"Whit, though,,
The car was trying to stop the speed of the car. People who were around immediately squealed towards the sound. And Dera who closed her eyes immediately sat helplessly. Although he did not get hit but Dera was very surprised by what he experienced. Either the empty thought he crossed or the car was advancing quickly.
Passengers in the car immediately came out and approached Dera, holding Dera's shoulder so that he could look at his interlocutor.
"Are you okay, baby?", the voice of a woman who is a little old age. Because it looks from the way you dress it seems like a very graceful person.
"Yes Ibuk maybe I'm just in shock".
"Yes, we've been looking for a drink first for you to be calmer huh". The mother immediately led Dera to stand up.
"Have opened, I just had a drink. I just continue my path buk, excuse me" kindly Dera immediately lowered her body to say goodbye.
"Dear yes, son, sorry my driver has shocked you like this". It felt like he had to give money for responsibility to the person he almost hit but hunted the person away and his bag was also in the car. With the persuasion to drink first also Dera refused let alone want to give money certainly Dera did not want to accept it.
After the departure of Dera ibuk just pecked and stared at Dera away without any intention to catch up with him again. Because there was business finally the driver immediately reprimanded his boss to continue the journey home again.
*****
While Dera who walked a little slowly because it was still pounding was directly sitting on the sidewalk while lamenting his fate. I don't know what else he'll feel for why this happened to him. Mung about 15 minutes Dera rest because her stomach is a little cramp. Afraid of returning home, Dera walked back to the address he had read. Dera found the address quickly. Because the little rame shop finally Dera slowly entered to ask about the work he had read earlier.
"Excuse me sis, are there any job openings?", asked Dera politely to the waitress who was wrapping the rice. Yes, the Dera comes at this time Nusantara rice shop that provides Javanese cuisine. Because the number of packages that are being arranged neatly can be ascertained if the store is very popular.
"Oh my brother does not know, but it seems to have been filled here brother", replied the woman who Dera asked earlier by still busy with her work as well.
"Yes already thanks brother", reply Dera who will come out of the store but just now he will walk a voice call from the direction in the room stop Dera to step.
Dera immediately looked back and it turned out that Ibuk was going to hit Dera earlier. Open Ibuk was the tangent but Dera was also no less afraid of why he could still meet with Ibuk earlier. Because Dera was afraid he was blamed for crossing without seeing the actual road he immediately left.
"Yes buk, I said yes buk".
"Here sit first we need to talk son", invited Ibuk earlier who led Dera to sit in the long chair at the corner. "I heard you ask the job was it true, son?".
"Em, yes I want to apply for work but there is no diploma or ID card that I have".
"I don't need a certificate or ID card you want, as long as you want to work really. But not for the store, you work at my house and if I'm in the store you're okay. I need someone who can take care of my mother at home".
"This is Ibuk's shop?".
"Yes do you want to?, but you if the night has to wait for my mother. I'm sometimes less painless, son". Ibuk was hoping if Dera would take care of his mother who sometimes did not fit him.
"You buk but I want to be honest with Ibuk directly rather than later I hate Ibuk, I am currently pregnant about 1 week and this pregnant will be my second. I'm having problems with my husband but I promise I'll focus on my work" Dera explained to Ibuk.
"Deg..
I don't think I believed Dera's words just now. Will he accept Dera to work again. He does not know if it turns out that Dera's relationship is also very complicated.
"But does it matter if you work with me, son?.
"No book I'm sure, please open it so I can send an invitation to my family in the village later", Dera pleaded while cupping her hands to beg.
"I'll help you if you want to tell me the same story so I know which one is right from you".
"Actually I was only one month in Jakarta buk, and at that time also my money, phone and ID card was lost while still on the bus. As I ate and would pay for my food I just knew it all and there was a good with me to pay my meal bill. It was good again he invited me to work at home to clean up the house and work at the factory if it was daytime. The time went by, I and the man got married, but married a series of buk, and I can't seem to be with him for now. That's why I chose to leave his house and want to be independent", Dera explained it all to his boss who did not want if at one time it became a big problem for his job.
The problems of life are not the same especially the fate of people. Everything has its own writing. And sure enough Ibuk was staring at Dera with a gaze that Dera also did not know what it was. He tangent inter received or not because it had been 10 minutes Ibuk was silent.
"Open can I still work at my mom's house?".
"Ma.asih nak Oya what is your name? , just call Ibuk Ratmi to be more familiar later.
"Thank you Ibuk Ratmi, my name is Dera. Later I go home first want to say goodbye to my friend buk at once take my clothes. Oya I have to wait Ibuk Ratmi here again tomorrow?".
"Yes buk thanks buk, I say yes buk first". Dera who will stand up was held again the same buk Ratmi. Ibuk Ratmi called his employees to bring Dera food to eat later tonight. It was so nice of Ibuk Ratmi on Dera that employees at the shop copy saw him. No one can be as close as Dera to Ibuk Ratmi at the moment they will have boss and employee restrictions while Dera is easily instantly familiar.
One big bag is already in Dera's hands. Tonight Dera will eat well, although Santi is not at home but Dera will wait for Santi to come home tomorrow morning and say goodbye to him.
