Why Should I..?.!?

15. New day..

The rooster crowing with the light of the dawn will show the sheen of its charm.

The sound of the morning Adhan echoed from all corners of the world. Everything was peaceful, beautifully arranged as a sign of a new day about to begin.

I left for the city of G after performing dawn prayers this morning. Fani is still sleeping. Mom gave me lunch for breakfast later. And father? While looking at me, he gave me pocket money for a month.

"Dad is not necessary, Anya still has savings, and God willing enough until Anya later receives the first salary," Rejected me when my father insisted on giving his money into my hands.

"Son, please take it easy for me. To find the cost, for additional transportation. I'm sorry I can't make you this big." Wiry father while holding back his tears.

"Dad said what the hell yeah," I hugged dad, "Dad and mom are the best parents for Anya. She's so happy to have parents like you. So do not talk like that anymore, huh?", I said with tears.

Mother rubbed the top of my head with tears, "May success, brother. Hope your friends are all good. Do not forget to pray and respect older people...".

I just nodded my head in response to my mother's advice. My dear mother has always been my idol. He always accompanied me and taught me all things patiently. Always pray for me without asking.

A fairly quick trip in my opinion. Maybe it's because it's still early so there's no traffic jams along the big crossroads I've been through.

I'm heading straight for Anis's boarding house. Last night he asked me to go straight to his boarding room before finding my own boarding house.

"His? Have you been called to work today?", Hilda said after I entered the living room.

"Yes, go with ya.." I said while sitting next to him.

"Sip. Is the Kia not called either?" asked Hilda while opening her breakfast pecel rice package.

"Let's see, last night I asked him he said there's no news yet." Answer lethargic.

We had breakfast in silence. There were a few friends of Hilda's boarding house who just came home from work saying hello to us. Some just smiled and went straight to the kitchen.

At 06:40 we leave from the room. We walked down the alley after alley which was mostly inhabited by PT employees. Kingnoodles. I know because it looks from the uniform and the bet they're wearing.

"Gue first yes. Good luck to you.." Pamit Hilda then entered the parking lot of her workplace.

I continued my footsteps. It's a little pounding because I'm alone now, different from yesterday when I was with Kia.

'Bismilbornrohaanirrohiim. I'm ready'. My words are in my heart.

I circulated my gaze upon entering the parking lot of the office where I applied yesterday for work. There were 5 people waiting.

"For all.. You got a work call too?" Say hello and come closer and stand beside them.

"Yes. I'm Dian, from L's city." Answer one of them.

"Gue Siska and this Bagas, we happen to be friends from Junior High School" continued someone next to Dian.

"Gue Anya from town J." I started the introduction.

We chatted lightly while waiting for the other participants who started to arrive. We familiarize ourselves because maybe later we will become colleagues in the same section.

At exactly 07:00. I saw Andi and also Dimas who appeared when the bell just rang.

"We're almost late. Lo Anya, right? Where's kia?" Andi asked after standing beside Bagas.

"Yes I'm Anya. Kia hasn't gotten an Ndi call yet. How's temen lo the only one?" I said, then we walked into the office.

A few seconds later Mr. Doni appeared with a woman with a formal makeup that was quite graceful.

There's about 50 people here. We lined up neatly extending into 5 rows.

"Good morning everyone. How are you all doing? Healthy?" Sapa pak Doni.

"For sir... Healthy sir.. Fine sir." we replied in unison.

"Okay congratulations to all of you who today got a work call. Today's agenda is the introduction of the workplace, the rules of work and the division of uniforms." Mr. Doni started with great enthusiasm. Then let his partner introduce himself.

"Good morning everyone. Introduce my name Sonia, later I will accompany you women in the field. But first let's fill in your personal data first according to ID card and then we process to become employee ID Card." He said briefly and then handed out the papers that we had to fill out and sign.

We are welcome to sit down and fill out the documents. There is one personal data sheet, one work rule sheet along with an explanation of working hours and salary amount per month.

"This is a contract file. Please read it, then sign it with the stamp on the last sheet." Mr. Doni then shared the document with us.

We were all silent with our own papers. I saw some of my new friends frowning then glancing at the friend beside him.

"If there is anything less clear please ask yes.." Sonia's mom broke our silence.

Andi smiled, then held her hand up. "It says we receive a salary every 8th of the month. What I want to ask is, we are now on the 20th, so will the 8th of the next month we receive a salary according to the number of working days or will it still be accumulated to the 8th of the next month?", Ask Andi at length.

"A good question. Your work experience must have been a lot." Mr. Doni smiled knot before continuing, "The 8th of next month is the first date you receive a salary for 2 weeks calculated from now. Well the personal data that you fill in in addition to creating ID Card is also used for the creation of ATM on your behalf as a means of payment of salary, we also use it, but if you want a pay slip, you can take it here the next day after you get the paycheck." Obviously mr. Doni.

"Sir if it hurts how is the permit procedure?" Ask Dian.

"Please check with your doctor, then ask for a doctor's certificate that you are sick and need rest, then leave it to the head of the department where you work." Obviously Mr. Doni while approaching towards Bu Sonia.

A few questions continue to flow around the work rules, working hours and night sifs that concern us.

We went back to silence after collecting the contract documents at Sonia's desk.

"Alright after this let's head to your workplace. Hope you're at home and have a nice day.." Said Mr. Doni casually then passed from before us.

We were directed to enter a minibus parked next to the office. Siska sat beside me quietly, followed by Dian and Andi.

We all fell silent with our thoughts during the short trip to the factory.

My heart's pounding. How will my neighborhood be at the factory? How will my coworkers be? How will my boss? What if I can't? Am I going to be alone?

Everything was running in my head. Change into my fear.

Stop it's. Stop over. This is my decision. This is my path. So calm down. Calm. Face whatever is in front of you later. My mind goes to war.

I exhaled and exhaled slowly over and over again until I felt relaxed.

"Here you go, relax. Let's get out." Bringing Dian next to me made me smile.

Yep. I can't be alone. I still have a lot of new friends, and all I have to do is work well, make friends peacefully, and receive a salary casually.

Just do it.
