The Toga Rahayu

Workup

"Alhamdulilah can be part of the best graduates of this renowned campus".

I breathed a sigh of relief at that moment.

Actually I really want to continue school, I started applying some scholarships for master education but unfortunately the goddess fortuna did not side with me this time I failed her English test.

The ielts value is below average even though I have learned desperately still unable to achieve it. I really want to catch up with Andika.

It seems like we are not a match.

Because tired of chasing the value of ielts that never increased I decided to just work. I started taking some tests that were held on campus both job fair and self-interview. It did not take long in less than two months I have been accepted to work at one of the largest food and beverage companies in East Java.

“Assalamualaikum hello mom, mom Rahayu accepted work so Quality Asurance”.

“Wassalualaikum son, Really nduk you accepted work? Alhamdulilah want me penggawaan nopo to nduk? ?”.

“Good working tree bu, working in office”. My answer with a smile I can not tell in detail about the job at my job to mother later even more dizzy.

“Masyaallah son of working mother in office, gawe klambi slick in iron so nduk”. My mother's question made me want to laugh when I heard it.

“Iya bu Rahayu start work next week placement in Gersik”.

“Trank you son has become a good boy, already want to fight for our family, even though you are only the son of a farm worker but you can work in the office is not hot. Thank you son you have become a good example for your sisters, obedient and smart”.

If not by phone maybe me and my mother have hugged each other even happy tears have certainly escaped our eyes.

Thank you one step forward I will change the economy of my family, I will help finance my sister's school and help my father meet the needs of our family so as not to lack as it is now.

I was received at one of the food and beverage companies in the city of Gersik East Java. Like when in Malang in Gersik I live in the boarding houses the difference is now I pay full cost without having to help wash and iron clothes first.

For the size of my fresh graduate salary is quite high even above the average standard if compared with my classmates. I also got a transport feeding facility and some other perks at the office.

To eat I get rations twice a day at lunch and dinner because almost every day I get over time until seven at night.

From the results of my savings while working I can buy the father of rice fields in the village so that the father does not need to work as a farm worker to join people during his life. You can work on your own rice fields, if you feel later you are unable to work you can rent to others or tell people to cultivate the land.

I also helped send my sisters, One was already in High School, one was in Junior High School and the smallest was still sixth grade Elementary School. Not to forget I also bought a motorcycle as a means of transportation at home to make it easier when going anywhere.

My family's life began to change a lot after I graduated from college, now we are no longer lacking as before, although not living in luxury at least we are not as lacking as before.

I am so grateful that God has given me the way and the opportunity to change my family's life as it is today.

No matter five years I have worked in Pt X dabbling in the food industry making new recipe formulations and various innovations of new products in accordance with the demands of today.

Two years as a quality Asurance staff who later moved the position to Research Development until now is at the point as RnD manager in the company. I was the youngest manager in the company.

I'm experiencing a lot of changes in appearance today, I no longer use a hijab with a color of degradation between white or brown that is so often washed and wear sun. My appearance matters have improved greatly.

Yes, thanks to my hard work and efforts so far, of course, by the will of God.

I often wear a hijab that matches the uniform I wear. I've been good at polishing the face until it looks fresher and blushing. In addition, I also often use bags and shoes that match with clothes.

But of course you're still a simple Rahayu not overdone.

If you want to know how my body is?

I am still the same as Rahayu who had a small body, somehow even though the intake of food I eat every day in accordance with nutritional value but my body never increased height. I'm still tiny and cute.

During the five years of work many things changed and happened for example, Nina and Sari who reportedly will get married next month. Nina became one of the ASN in Malang while Sari preferred to be mua in her city. It really strayed far from our majors when we were in college but that is life sometimes does not match the karep (desire).

The life of Mbk Eki?.

Ms. Eki no longer shows much of her activities now, she looks closed and reluctant to share her life on social media. I didn't find any information about him there at all. Only a few old photos are still on display.

Mas Andika?.

Mas Andika should have completed his master's education from a few years ago, but somehow his existence like lost in the swallow of the earth disappeared without a trace. In social media mbak Eki slalu looks mbak Eki's own photo was also a photo that has been a long time, sometimes with some friends just never again there are photos of Andika mas there.

If you remember the truthful Andika until now I have not been able to completely forget the shadow of her face from my life.

Memories with Andika mas so attached to my mind that I slalu compare every man who began to approach me. For me they are nothing like Andika to make it hard for me to open my heart and accept other men in my life.
