Are You My Brother ?
The Bridge to Success

The next day that I was waiting for arrived, when the dawn had shed its light, and the clear morning dew soaked the earth, I was ready - ready to begin my historic day. A day that will be my first step towards a better life. That morning, I was ready, complete with neat clothes and letters in my hand. At that time I saw Mr. Anto who had come to my old house.

" Eh Mr. Anto, come here" Sapaku.

" Yes, it's Den......... You know, Den where are you going so neat ?" Ask.

" Want to find work sir" I replied.

" Huh, looking for a job ? Is it really Den ?" Asked surprised.

" Yes sir..... Oh yeah, about my whereabouts, you didn't tell my family, did you ?" Means back.

" Be calm Den, everything is safe" replied Mr. Anto while giving his smile.

" Huff, good sir, yes I've left first" I said while wearing a jacket.

" Yes Den, hopefully get a job, yes" he replied.

" Yes sir, assalamualaikum," I said as I passed away.

" Greetings waalaikum" replied Mr. Anto.

I walked out the fence of the house. With determination and firm conviction, I will strive to realize all my dreams, dreams and ideals. The adventure will begin, an adventure looking for a little hope to achieve a dream. It all started in front of the gate, the gate of a house of memories. I walked without a neighbor knowing it was me.

When this body that has been possessed by a strong determination reaches the highway, now is the time for me to fight for a dream. Every workplace I go to, but no one needs an employee. But I don't give up, no matter how sick my body is, I have to prove that I can hudup without relying on my parents' property.

" Excuse me sir" Sapaku to a security guard at a company.

" Yes, can I help you ?" Ask.

" In this company, are there any job openings, sir ?" I asked the thick-bodied security guard.

" Ohh.... If that's not what I know, my. But the mas can directly ask the boss of this company," he said.

" Em, if you may know, where's the room ?" My toot.

" On the 2nd floor, the room at the far right" he answered.

" Ohh, thank you, sir, excuse me" I said as I left the security guard.

I walked up the stairs, even though there was an elevator, but it was not appropriate for a guest to just use the facilities of others. After all, somehow I always feel scared when in the elevator, especially when alone. I have arrived at the 2nd floor, and seen a room referred to by the security guard. That door, maybe that's the door for me to enter and achieve all my dreams and ideals. But it could be, it was a door where a little bit of that hope was lost.

" In...." Answer a woman who was there.

A sense of doubt enveloped my heart, but I threw away that feeling and tried to open the door of the room. And there was a beautiful young woman with hair hanging down. He let me sit down and shake hands with me. With a shrill voice, he introduced himself. The woman's name is Rita, and is commonly called Bu Rita. Sure enough, he was the boss in that company.

" Can I help you ?" He asked very kindly, even interspersed with a sweet smile.

" Gini ma'am, I'm looking for a job, is there a vacancy here ?" My toot.

" I'm sorry, but the company is full, so we don't need any more employees" he replied.

" That's mom, that's okay. Thank you ma'am" I said as I shook hands with him and left.

A little bit of my hope has been lost, but my resolve cannot be lost. I kept looking, several times I went up and down the lot, and several times I went in and out of the place where a job existed. In the afternoon, I saw a big company. Without further ado - I met the boss of the company that I previously got information about the existence of the boss of the company from an employee.

" Excuse me sir" I said to a man who was already that old.

With a greeting and a friendly look, he told me to sit down and greet me.

" Can I help you ?" Ask.

" I want to apply for a job sir, oh here are the letters," I said as I thrust the sheets.

He read every word that was in it, like a researcher, he read it very carefully.

" School diploma yes, but it's okay - what, I'm in need of marketing employees, do you want ?" Ask me.

" Want sir, will," I answered excitedly.

" Yes, tomorrow you can work" said the man.

" Good sir, then I say goodbye first" I said and then regretted it and moved from there.

It turns out that a little hope is really there, even if it is small but means big. I walked with great pleasure, under the beautiful orange color of twilight. My adventure is over, and I have hope. Stay how to make that hope into a big mind.

The orange color of dusk had dimmed, I was still on my way home. Sometimes I think, I always want to adventure in the twilight until the moonlight appears. But the adventure I was referring to was really adventure, not just a long journey with or without a destination.

At home, the gate is not locked, but the door of the house has been locked by Mr. Anto. Using the key Mr. Anto gave me, I opened the door.

That night in my room, I couldn't sleep, thinking of something very important in my life. Tomorrow is the day I start living my life like an adult. No matter what my job, no matter what salary. The important thing is that the work is halal and I can prove to the world the unyielding determination that is within me.
