chapter 2 Call


This morning began with the fanfare of the hostel. Busy with each other's activities, while waiting your turn to use the bathroom.


There are those who sit daydreaming while enjoying the morning sun, some are having breakfast first, some are wearing scrubs, some are nagging because the ones in the bathroom a long time never go out.


Vera and Yuni relaxed while enjoying their breakfast. Vera had taken a shower during the morning adhan reverberated, deliberately so as not to need to queue. As for Yuni, as usual, entering the afternoon can be a little more relaxed.


While busy chatting casually, suddenly Vera's phone rang because of an incoming call. Gegas Vera picked it up even though the number was not stored in the memory of his phone.


" Asalamualaikum's chat.."


" Wa'alaikumsalam.hallo, is this true with the sister of Verawati? " the voice across was heard.


" Right, I'm alone" replied Vera.


" Can you come to do an interview at the All Colors fabric store today at 9am? " the voice was heard again.


" Could, I will come later at the appointed hour, "he replied with a happy hue emanating from his face.


" Good then, we wait for your presence, good morning. "


" Good morning, good ... well, thank you very much "he replied then with a fluffy smile on his face.


" Thank God I was called interview. "the story goes to Yuni beside him.


" Alhamdulillah, hopefully it will be smooth Ra. "


" Aamiin. "


Shortly after, Vera's phone rang again. Soon Vera raised the call.


" Openetrish..."


" Wa'alaikumsalam. "


" Morning. "saut Vera.


" Is it true that I'm talking to Verawati's sister? " the voice was heard again.


" Right, what need is there? "


" Will today Vera's sister be able to come to interview at P's supermarket at 11 p.m? "


" God willing I can. "


" Well then we'll wait for the sister's presence at noon, good morning. "


" Morning, thank you, "replies Vera with a happy look on her sweet face.


" O Allah, what was the dream last night? this is an interview call, how can you go with gini? " the story of Vera returns to Yuni with enthusiasm.


A happy face accompanied by a smile that expands on his lips can be interpreted how happy Vera feels at this time.


Yuni smiled at the happiness of her cousin's sister.


" Yeah, now the spit is ready, later afraid late. At the interview we have to give a good impression of Ra. Do not make mistakes that end up harming yourself. "guideline Yuni at length.


" Yeahaaaaa mbakku dear, O Allah I deg deg an gini yes, " said Vera still with a fluffy smile.


After finishing getting ready, Vera immediately set off to do her first interview. Vera wore a short-sleeved white shirt along with a black skirt below her knees slightly.


Vera, who is actually not feminine at all, must be willing to be targeted by Yuni for make-up.


Understandably, Yuni works as a cosmetic SPG, which is certainly good at using make-up.


For shoes, Vera does not have fantopel shoes that are commonly used for work. Even with heels, Vera can not use it for fear that her legs will be sprained when unable to compensate for the shoes.


So, Yuni volunteered to lend her work shoes for Vera interview to wear.


After walking for about 10 minutes, Vera has now reached the All Colors fabric store. After asking the receptionist Vera was directed to the room where the interview was conducted.


This first interview has not given any good news to Vera. Because the receiving staff of prospective employees said they would contact him again after the decision was taken.


Not discouraged, after exiting the All Colors fabric store, Vera continued her steps towards the P supermarket where she was also called to interview.


About 10 minutes walk to Vera at the supermarket. Without wasting any more time, Vera came in and immediately asked the attendant who was on guard at the daycare.


Vera was ushered directly to the manager P. Because the rules in the supermarket require that prospective new employees will be interviewed directly by the manager of the supermarket.


After going through a few interviews, Mr. Sholihin as the manager asked for a moment to discuss with the owner of the supermarket and the supervisor and staff of the supermarket office.


Vera was asked to wait. About half an hour passed, finally Mr. Sholihin came at once to give the news that Vera was accepted to work and could start her work the next day.


With a happy feeling, Vera's spirit shook Sholihin's hand slightly. Which makes Mr. Sholihin laugh with him.


The excitement was still evident on his face. Which it emanated clearly through the smile on her sweet face that did not fade, even after arriving at the hostel.


" Assalamualaikum..all.." said cheerfully.


" Wa'alaikumsalam." replied the residents of the same hostel who was gathering at noon to enjoy their afternoon rest.


" Widiiihhh... Like happy again, there is good news, Ra? " tap Elly, one of her hostesses.


While the other residents looked at Vera with a curious look at the cause of Vera so look happy.


" Thank God, Iya nih mbak, there is good news." replied Vera with a big smile.


" What.how are you happy? don't you get accepted for work? " ask Sofi.


" Yes, really, thank God I was accepted to work at the supermarket P, and tomorrow I started work" replied Vera enthusiastically.


" Alhamdulillaaaaah." they answered in unison.


" Congratulations Ra.." they said.


" Yes, thank you, " replied Vera.


" Ra, have you eaten yet? let's eat together. "give Yuni.


Vera looked at Yuni and the other hostesses with a cengo look. Vera forgot to buy lunch, because she was so happy to be accepted to work.


Grinning Vera replied "I forgot to buy mbak. "


Getting the answer Yuni patted her head slowly while the others laughed satisfied because of Vera's stupidity.


" I bought a meal before I ran out of the menu. "


Gegas Vera went down the stairs to go buy food. Understandably, the lunch break must be many who buy food. And we can be sure the menu of choice will run out quickly.


" Your sister is funny Yun" Sofi told Yuni.


" What's funny mbak, oneng kali mbak." replied Yuni with a small laugh.


" Understand Yun, your sister just graduated from school, still not much experience, different is the same we - we are already faseh" said Sofi again.


" But I'm the same as Vera, she's not jaim her son, want to help make a picket clean-up kost." said Ani chimed in with a cry.


" hehehe yes" Yuni replied briefly.


Actually Yuni is upset because Vera likes to help other hostel residents to clean the picket. Although it was a good deed, but it could make other residents would casually ask for his sister's help again.


Not without reason Yuni thinks so, because Yuni had seen Vera help Sofi who was hit by a picket turn but woke up late. Vera finally took the initiative to help him.


Yuni hoped that her younger brother who looked innocent would not get into trouble during his stay and work in this M city.
