When she heard the gate open, Anya immediately ran to the front and peeked through the window. That's right Anton. So interior. But not wanting to look enthusiastic, Anya returned to the living room and sat in front of the television. Even Anya remained unmoved as Anton opened the door and entered by himself.
"Assynoltom..."
Anton said a half-screaming greeting.
"Walaikumsalam.", Anya answered while still sitting on the sofa.
Until then Anton approached her and sat beside Anya, then Anya began to ask, Spilling all curiosity yanh since it was buried.
"How was that? You're all right, right? Did it fall on the street?", asked Anya worriedly.
Well, Anya was more worried about Anton's situation which he considered still too weak.
"I'm fine, I'm walking slowly and very carefully.again I'm riding public transportation, instead of continuing to walk..."
"Good then..."
"Is that all you want to ask? Not curious about where I applied for a job and how it turned out?"
"What was the outcome? Does it already exist?"
"Not yet, I just put in the cover letters..."
"I'm guessing.and it's better not to be too hopeful..."
"Why? You're not sure if I can?"
"Not so, you may be excited and try your best, but do not expect too high because it will make you sick..."
"All right..."
Anya then went into her room to sleep.
Anton was still very excited and did not care much about Anya's words.
But what happened then, for days Anton kept going around looking for work, but the results were nil. As if no one person or company needed someone like him. Never mind being rejected, not being called for an interview. At that time Anton just contemplate the truth of Anya's words. It turns out that it is not easy to find a job for a lowly person like him. And slowly, Anton's spirit that had flared up now became dim.
"Oh, it's okay..."
"No way, your face looks moody, not as excited as usual?"
"really? I..I.m not getting Anya's job yet..."
Anya then smiled as she offered the boba drink she had drunk half to Anton.
"Drink, it's delicious, it's sweet chocolate, it might cool your head a little bit..."
Anton chuckled, but did not stop drinking it and it turned out to be very tasty.
"What you're saying, I shouldn't expect too much..."
"And don't be so sad, you are not the only one who has trouble finding work, there may be hundreds, thousands, even millions of people who have the same fate as you in this country...so don't go overboard.."
"Hahaha", and Anton laughed again.
"I've felt it too, and it feels so painful and so helpless when we really need it, but can't do anything about it" Anya's vision glared, recalling the most painful event of his life.
"Yes I know, but Anya I will keep trying and will not give up. However the result will be, is it not our duty to only strive, and then submit the results to the Almighty?"
anya was stunned to hear Anton's words just now.
"Why are your words so good, are you really ustadz?",
"Ah, Anya today everyone is good at talking, but few people hold their own words..."
"You are not a motivator?", asked Anya again with a ignorant smile.
"Ah already..my head is dizzy.I want to sleep first...",
Anton pretended to sulk, then walked into his room. His body was completely exhausted after days of continuing to wander around fruitlessly. His mind was also shaken, no longer able to think clearly. But at least, now his mood was better after talking and joking with Anya.
