The Wife of the King's Pay
Chapter 5 Young Girl Competition
Cleantha ran to her room in tears. Somehow the black fog had not passed also from his life, even now it felt more concentrated than before.
Cleantha sat down and leaned her head against the door.
It felt as if Cleantha wanted to cry out, lamenting her unfortunate fate. However many tears will be wasted.
The only way he could do that was to stay strong to deal with this difficulty. He had to find a way out in order to earn money as quickly as possible. Or Puspa would offer it to the striped-nose man.
"Sisa*my time is not much. Where can I get a job that makes money that fast?"
Cleantha tried to rack her brain to find the answer. But his mind just got more tangled. Desperately, Cleantha squeezed out her own hair to ease a bit of the frustration she was suffering from.
"Drrrtt, drrrrt," heard the sound of mobile phone vibration several times.
While wiping away the rest of her tears, Cleantha stood up and took her phone from the top of the nightstand.
"Clea, why haven't you come to the hospital yet? It's your turn to look after Dad. I'm tired and need a break" Keyla said from behind the phone.
"Sorry, I forgot, brother."
"forget? Something this important you forgot? Are you deliberately avoiding responsibility?" keyla sounded angry.
"I'm leaving now for the hospital, brother."
"Okey, I'll wait. Don't try to buy time."
Fearing Keyla to grow angry, Cleantha hastily orders an ojek online from her mobile app.
He grabbed one of the closest clothes in the closet to change the clothes he was wearing. The clothes attached to his body currently look shabby and dirty, due to the accident incident that hit him last
Cleantha snatched her bag then rushed out of the room.
"Where are you going, Clea?" tanya Ana chased after Cleantha's hasty steps.
"Sorry Aunt, I'm in a hurry. Brother Keyla is waiting for me," Cleantha replied without turning her head.
"Based on girls don't know manners! Asked the parents even answered casually,"
gerutu Ana's.
...****************...
"Thank you, Bang," said Cleantha down from the bike. While running small, Cleantha headed to the hospital lobby. The atmosphere of the hospital was not too crowded before dusk, making Cleantha not have to queue to get into the elevator.
With her index finger, Cleantha pressed the number four button, the hospitalized special floor where her father was.
The elevator went up. As the elevator doors opened, Cleantha rushed out. He walked past the nurses who were busy on duty at their desks.
Cleantha turned to the right aisle. His main goal was to arrive at room 410, the room where his father was being treated.
"Tock, tock, tock" tap Cleantha three times before opening the door. He deliberately did so so that Keyla was not surprised by his arrival.
"Sister," called Cleantha hesitating.
Keyla who was in focus stared at the phone screen, raising her head when she heard Cleantha's voice.
"You're coming too."
"Sister, how's Dad doing?" cleantha asked concernedly looking at the medical equipment attached to her father's body.
The father who was once gallant and firm, now rolled weak helplessly on the bed of the patient.
"Look at it yourself. Dad's still asleep. He got up and talked for a while. But his words are still not very clear."
"Then what did the doctor say, brother?"
"The doctor said we still have to wait for the development of the father in two days. Hopefully tomorrow I can start moving my left hand."
Keyla stopped talking while narrowing her eyes.
"Clea, did you cry? Your eyelids look swollen."
Cleantha just shook her head.
"Ah, how could you possibly lie to me, Clea. You must have just cried. What else is it? Did Aunt Ana scold you?"
"Not Brother. I'm just.I'm facing a big problem."
"It's actually about interest on loans, brother. Turns out I have to pay for it every date. And I only have three more days left before it's due."
Instead of being sorry for her sister's problem, Keyla grunted in annoyance.
"I warned you, Clea. You yourself are rash to borrow money from loan sharks. If you can't afford it, your flowers will double. Worst of all, Aunt Puspa will send her debt collector to hit you and ruffle our household."
"Sister, I'm sorry. I should have listened to Keyla's advice. But now I don't know what to do. I also failed to go through the employee selection process" Cleantha said with reddened eyes.
"This is the nature of you that I hate the most. Cunning and giving up easily. It's worth it that Aunt Ana always humbles you."
Keyla stood up while pressing a few letter keys on her phone.
"Open your phone now. Read the forward message I sent," Keyla told her sister.
"Yes, Brother."
Without daring to ask, Cleantha opened her phone and read the incoming message Keyla sent.
"Sister, what is this?"
"What I'm sending you is the solution to your problem. Read it carefully."
"Girl's special competition. Wanted immediate nanny for a six-year-old. Requirements for women aged twenty to twenty-five years, single. For those who pass the selection will be a permanent caregiver while winning money. Organizer: Adhiyaksa Group," read Cleantha widened her eyes
"Sister, Adhiyaksa Group, isn't that the company Kak Keyla works for?"
"Rubber. I received the message broadcast this afternoon from a group of employees. You must enter this competition immediately, Clea. When else is there a contest that prizes a hundred million. The job is also easy, just being a babysitter. If you win, then all your debt to the loan shark will be paid off."
Cleantha scrunched her forehead.
"But I think it's a little strange, brother. Why to find a nanny should hold an all-out contest. Especially with a big prize money. I'm not sure if I'll come."
Keyla moved closer to her sister.
"You're such a fool, Clea. There is a rare opportunity like this even you wasted. Do you know who actually organized this contest?"
"No, Brother."
"The one holding it is the CEO of the company Adhiyaksa Group, Raja Adhiyaksa. According to the rumour I heard, his wife is now paralyzed. That's why she needs a nanny to take care of her little daughter."
Keyla took her bag from the chair and crossed her hands in front of her chest.
"The rich can do whatever they want. Including doing things outside of our minds. The Lord King must have wanted the best nanny for his only daughter. That's why he held this prize competition."
"Now the decision is in your hands. If you are interested immediately send your data to the email address listed below. This announcement is only spread in limited circles" Keyla continued.
"But I..."
"Here you go, I don't have much time to listen to your whining. I've given you the easiest way to pay off your debt. Next up is up to you. I go home first" said Keyla, walking away from her sister.
After Keyla left, Cleantha was still stunned. He read once again the terms of the unusual competition.
"I have to take risks. Better to be a babysitter than I should be sold by Aunt Puspa."
Taking a deep breath, Cleantha took her identity card from inside the wallet.
He began the main requirement to become a participant of the competition, which is to take photos of his identity clearly. The second step is to take a photo of himself with the identity card.
Before pointing the phone camera at her face, Cleantha tidied her hair behind her ears. He pulled the corner of his lips up. Trying to form a sweet smile even though it was at odds with her dark mood.
Because her smile seemed forced, Cleantha had to repeat the photo several times. It was only in the eighth photo that he felt confident enough to send it.
"Now the next step I have to fill out the data on this form,"
cleantha muttered her fingers to type letter by letter.
All parts of the form are filled out completely. Similarly, in the attachment section that contains a photo of him.
Cleantha closed her eyes for a moment. Praying for her hope to come true.
"Finally finished too. May I be accepted as one of the participants."
Slowly, Cleantha brought her index finger closer and pressed the send button on the email. He hoped that this time luck would side with him, so that he had a chance to win the hundred million money prize.
