By My Side
Chapter 3 The First
Today is the first day Vera starts her new world. Yep, Vera will start working today. As usual, Vera will clean themselves when the morning prayer rumbles, as well as to perform worship.
Vera bought breakfast for herself and also for Yuni. After breakfast, Vera pegs herself in front of a mirror on the wall of the hallway. Which is usually used interchangeably with other hostels.
Yesterday when Vera was told about her being accepted for work, Mr. Sholihin also explained a little about where Vera was placed, about the holiday, about the order in the supermarket P. Although not in its entirety.
Yesterday Vera also immediately got a work uniform. There are two colors, orange and green. Orange uniforms are used for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Green uniforms are used for Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. While Sunday free clothes origin neat.
Each employee will get a holiday 1 time in 1 week. The day is arranged alternately with other employees in one section.
There are also Vera boarding friends who work in supermarkets P, there is Anik and Heni. Anik and Heni have worked there for a long time, Anik has worked for 3 years, while Heni has worked for 2.5 years in the supermarket.
Yuni entrusts Vera to Anik and Heni to be guided in work. Understandably, Vera is still familiar with the world of work.
" Nik, Hen, I'll take my sister, please teach her the job so that it's true. If he is wrongly reprimanded, nothing. "
" Yes, Yun...kamu just calm down, I think your brother is his son is quick to respond, so it will not be difficult to teach him, right Hen? " Anik asked Heni for his opinion.
" Yes, Yun said, be calm, don't worry. " Hen answered.
" I'm quite calm because there are you there who can teach Vera. " Yuni said while smiling in relief.
" Yes already, we left first, later bad luck, can be nagged sir In." said Anik.
" Sir, I go to work first yes, doain I mbak. "valley Vera
" Yes Ra, real work yes, do not be careless at work. Dengerin mbak Anik loh yes "juni advice.
Vera did not reply, only nodding her head with a smile.

They walked towards the supermarket along with the other boarding children around there. Because the area is one of the crowded places will be the center of shops in the city of M.
Many shops line the area, ranging from clothing stores, groceries, sandals, bicycles, motorcycles, stationery, cooking utensils, and other shops.
When they reached the front of the supermarket, the self-service door was opened slightly just so that it could pass one by one person to enter.
After all entered, there will usually be a do'a together followed by a morning briefing, which usually contains directions from the owner of the supermarket, through Mr. Sholihin as manager. This self-service owner is commonly called Tacik.
Vera one part with Anik is in the palent. This section includes many items ranging from cosmetics, skincare, perfumes, bathing needs, pads, diapers or baby and adult diapers, even funny trinkets.
(ane ga nahan to snek 😂😂😂)
Just imagine, for example lipstick products, that one brand there are several kinds, some are glossy, some are matte, there is lip balm. And the code uses a number, how does Vera remember it? while Vera does not like mathematics, which is clearly related to numbers.
Vera is in the palent section with Anik and another male named Taqwin. Taqwin is a little funny, his body is thin, you could say cheque, likes to be stylish, the point is he should always look neat and handsome.
(i'm afraid to laugh 🤣)
Their job is to make sure the goods on display racks and storefronts are sufficient. When it runs out, they have to ask the warehouse boy to get it.
And the way is quite funny, so this warehouse is located on the second and third floors, in the earthenware section near the corner there is a hole that is directly connected to the second floor. From the hole there is a rope whose end is given a small basket as a container to put the paper request for goods in the warehouse. Just scream later someone will pull him.
This first day, Vera is assigned by Anik wiping the items on display. This is one of the marketing strategies, so that the goods look clean and attract buyers.
I don't feel like the break time is coming. Their breaks are divided into two sifs. First break from 12.30 to 15.00. The second break starts from 15.30 to 18.00. And, usually the employees who break the second sif will pray and lunch first.
Actually the break starts at 12.00, but the time is used sif second rest first, so after that the first sif break can break the meal prayer can also rest a tired body with a short sleep.
And the good thing is, here they get food rations twice a day, namely lunch and dinner before night. If employees are unwilling to take their rations, the rations can be exchanged for money.
Because Vera is new so, she is given a break with Anik, while Taqwin will be alone.
Actually Taqwin is good, but when Vera is present among them, Taqwin feels excluded as a favorite of Anik's men. (shadow the face of Taqwin, man but sulking so, ah ga nahan I🤣🤣 )
Vera like bringing a new color in the supermarket, how not, young, looks innocent, fresh graduated, and about the face, no less beautiful, can still compete with the language. You could say Vera is the youngest among the others.
After the break, Vera was still struggling with a cloth wiping the goods, not knowing when it would be finished. Vera just to sigh long continuously ( let alone this )
As the night approached the supermarket was getting crowded, so Anik told Vera to stop the lap wiping it, and just keep watch in the palent area. Who knows if there are customers who need help.
While accompanied by music from his alakadar radio, which is stored under the stairs of the palent area. Able to make the spirit that starts to dim because tired of being up again.
Self-service will be closed at 9 p.m. And after the cashier finishes the money count, clear all, then they can go home at 10 p.m.
Because it was only the first time to work, after cleaning up, Vera went straight to dreamland.
Yuni who also came home along with Vera, looked at the pity of her cousin's sister. Feeling sorry but at the same time proud, let alone hearing from Anik, today Vera works quite deftly.
