Destiny Gintani
New Job

"Thank God, O Allah ! Thank you for your help ! May today be better than yesterday." do'a Gintani.

Towards the dzuhur, Gintani also finished cleaning his rented house. For a moment he laid himself on the carpet that was held in his living room. Yeah, there's not a single piece of household stuff in that house. An empty house that is completely empty.

After a few minutes, Gintani goes to her room to carry her purse in her purse. Gintani took out his wallet and opened it to check the contents. Gintani took out all the money he had in his wallet. There are 1.2 million more. Hmm, I'd better buy magic com first along with the rice. For the side dish, I'll buy it later. Let it be more economical.

Gintani immediately went to the bathroom and cleaned himself up as well. After a few minutes he came out of the bathroom, changed his clothes and performed his dzuhur prayer.

At 13:00, on foot, Gintani went to a traditional market located not far from the riverbanks where Gintani contracted houses.

Arriving in front of the electronics store, Gintani immediately bought magic com at the cheapest price. After paying, Gintani resumed his shopping at a grocery store. There, Gintani only buys a sack of rice.

The transaction was completed, with the help of Ojek's brother who was on the edge of the market, Gintani went home. Not to forget at the rice stall, Gintani stopped to buy side dishes.

Arriving home, Gintani asks his brother Ojek to bring a sack of rice inside and store it in the corner of the kitchen. After paying his motorcycle fare, Gintani immediately went to the kitchen to wash the rice and raise it.

While waiting for the rice to ripen into rice, Gintani opened his phone and started surfing on social media. Instantly his eyes were perfectly rounded as he watched the video of him slapping the man. Gintani sighed, just as she was angry with me.

After waiting a few minutes, the rice was cooked. Gintani scoops his rice and starts eating his food. Not to forget, Gintani also set aside some of his rice for supplies later to the hospital. Tonight Gintani intends to stay at the hospital.

Today Gintani only spends his time in his rented house. Given that time was too late, Gintani decided not to look for work. Late in the afternoon, someone knocked on the door of Gintani's rented house.

Tok.dok...

"Assalamualaikum...! Tan...., are you home ?" ask that person who is none other than Alya.

After saying his salutation, Gintani immediately went ahead to open the door.

"Oh, you're praying, huh ? It's worth a long time to open the door." said Alya.

"Yes, Al. Sorry !" gintani said she felt bad.

"Casual times, I haven't waited too long either ! When I got home from work, Mom said you got hired. That's why I came straight here."

"Yes, alhamdulilah Al ! There is an empty contract. Yes, I'll take it. I don't feel good having to hang out in your house anymore."

"You sure don't feel at home, live in my house ? Let alone sharing a cramped room with me, he..."

"Ish, that's not Al ! I'm not comfortable because you don't sleep in your room. You just came in the early hours of the morning, the effect was as if I was dominating your room."

"Ish, you're too brave, Tan ! Before there was you, I was used to coming home at that hour."

"By the way, what do you do Al ? How did he get home that late ?" ask Gintani curiously.

Alya who initially wanted to hide her work because it was considered to have a bad image, finally could dodge again. With a heavy heart, he was forced to tell his second job.

"Actually, I work in a pub that is in the center of the city" Alya replied.

Gintani was surprised, but as fast as lightning he hid his surprise. He did not want his best friend to be offended by his actions.

"You must be surprised, huh ?" ask Alya.

"Eh.., anu..., i...!" gintani replied.

"Nothing, Tan ! Everyone would be surprised if they knew such a place to work. They immediately think negatively of women who work in a pub" said Alya.

"Sorry, Al !" gintani lirih. "If you may know, what is your job there ? So that I don't misjudge about you !" ask Gintani.

"I work as an OT, Tan ?" answer Alya.

"PL ?" gintani asked not to understand.

"Song Driver. So, in the pub where I work, there's a karaoke where people let go of their fatigue. Well, my job is to accompany customers as long as they're in that room." Alya tried to explain.

"But, you're not messing around, are you, Al ? I mean, you didn't serve them with your body, did you ?" ask Gintani, plain.

Alya smiled, "I guessed it, you would definitely assume that, like the people around my house. But that's a natural thing anyway, considering my work hours are not natural for a woman." replied Alya.

"Sorry Al, I didn't mean to offend you" Gintani said.

"Nothing, Tan ! Take it easy, I can still take care of myself ! Besides, my boss is good. He never told his employees to do such indecent things, yes even though he didn't forbid it either." Alya replied riddled with his words.

"I don't understand, Al !" Gintani.

"Bang Alex realized that the salary given to his employees might be a little, therefore he did not hinder his employees if they want to earn money by providing more services to customers. As long as their actions are not done in their place. Because in the pub he doesn't provide a room to pervert."

"Thank God you can still take care of yourself, Al ! Remember Al, the honor of a woman is very important !" Gintani.

"Yes, I understand. By the way, have you got a job yet ?" ask Alya.

Gintani shook his head.

"Do you want to work at my place ?" ask Alya again.

"Come, I'm not sure ! Besides, I don't memorize songs" replied Gintani.

"Ha.ha... A...! Don't worry, as time goes by, you can definitely memorize any song." Alya chuckled.

Gintani just smiled. "I thought about it, deh ! But if I'm waitress, I want Al !" answer Gintani.

"That's all right, Tan ! There is his job together. Even my boss can change roles as a bartender. That way, we are not interdependent. We are required to work together to provide the best service for pub visitors."

"Oh, that's it ! Is it in your workplace, still need employees ?" ask Gintani.

"Don't know, tonight I'll try to ask my boss, okay ?" answer Alya.

Gintani. Without feeling the time is approaching magrib. Alya finally came home to get ready to go to work.

After his prayers, Gintani went to Harapan hospital.

"Assynolayam !" sapa Gintani opened the door of her grandfather's ward.

"Eh, Gintan is coming !" said a nurse who was checking on Wira's grandfather.

"Ah yes, sorry to have so much trouble sister !" gintani said as he bent his body.

"It's okay, ma'am ! That's our job." he said. "Okay ma'am, excuse me ! If there's anything, you can call me in the guard room." he continued.

"Yes, sus ! Again, thank you !" answer Gintani.

Gintani immediately grabbed a chair and kept it next to his grandfather's bed. Gintani also occupied the chair.

"Assalamualaikum grandpa, how are you ? Sorry, Gintan can only come." said Gintani grabbed his grandfather's wrinkled hand.

Grandpa Wira smiled. "It's okay, son ! You must be tired after a long day at work. So grandfather understood that you did not have time to come to accompany grandfather." he replied.

Hearing the grandfather's words, Gintani's heart ached. Because, Gintani has not dared to tell about his true condition. Gintani can only smile, so that his grandfather does not feel suspicious.

"Why banana ?" tanya Gintani switched the conversation.

"Can, son !" replied Grandfather Wira.

Gintani also took out the banana he had bought on the road. After that he peeled it off and fed his grandfather affectionately. Only his grandfather made Gintani still able to survive in life.

"Bang Al, need more employees, don't you ?" alya asked as she was concocting drinks for her customers.

"Why indeed ?" alex answered while smoking his cigarette.

After serving her drink, Alya approached her boss's desk.

"What girl is a boy ?" ask Alex

"Girl." Alya replied briefly

"Yes, you just bring it here !" alex's orders.

"okay ! I'll tell him later !" answer Alya.

"Al, please clean room 9 ! Tomorrow my brothers will gather there !" back Alex gave the order.

"Ready, boss !" alya replied as she passed away to room 9.

Next day.

After returning from the hospital, Gintani immediately cleaned up and readied his application file. Today he will again try his luck in finding a job.

At 08:00 Gintani returned to the streets of the capital city center. This time he wants to find work in malls or other shopping centers. But as usual, from the dozens of shops he visited, no one would accept him to work. Gintani is desperate. Should I just accept a job offer from Alya ?

Gintani glanced at his watch. Time shows at 14:00. Tired of walking and not getting a job, Gintani finally decided to go home.

Arriving at his rented house, Gintani immediately saved his two legs that felt cramping. "O Allah, I have been looking for work for days, but I have not been able to. What should I do ? I need money for Grandpa's medical expenses. Not to mention the loan shark ? Ah, I think my head is about to break !" gintani.

For a while Gintani laid himself down. Trying to drive away his fatigue after hours of running around looking for work. His eyes were closed even though his heart still felt unsettled.

At 17:00. Gintani goes to Alya's house.

"Assynolayam !" greet Gintani as soon as she arrives at Alya's house.

"Waalaikumsalam ! Uh, son Gintan, go in yuk !" take Alya's mother who just opened the door.

"Alya's home, ma'am ?" ask Gintani.

"It has. But now he's in the bathroom. Please sit down, son !" her mother Alya said.

"Yes mom, thanks !" alya answered while sitting in the guest chair.

Shortly after, Alya appears fresh out of his bathroom.

"Eh, you Tan ! Was it a long time ?" alya asked who saw Gintani sitting in the living room.

"Just came along, Al !" answer Gintani.

"What's up ?" alya asked who was sitting opposite her best friend.

"I..., I just wanted to ask you about your offer yesterday, does Al still apply ?" ask Gintani."

"Are you sure you want to work there ?"

"I'm sure, Al ! Than I have no job at all." replied Gintani.

"I've been asking Alex bang all night. Said bang Alex, just come first. How about, Tan ?"

"Well, I'll come with you !"

"okay ! At 19:00, I'll pick you up !"

"Oh, yeah, I'm going home, Al !" pamit Gintani's.

Alya nodded and escorted Gintani to the outside door.

☘️☘️☘️

"Sin, see Alex's bang no ?" alya asked her co-worker who was making juice.

"So he entered private room number 9." replied Sindi. "Eh, who is he, Al ?" sindi asked as soon as she saw Gintani standing beside Alya.

"Oh yeah, know Sin, this is Alya's friend, his name is Gintani !" answer Alya.

"Sindi." said Sindi as she extended her hand.

"Gintan !" gintani answered welcoming a helping hand of his new friend.

"Tan, you wait here first ! I want to meet Alex first." said Alya.

Gintani nodded. He then sat in the front seat of the bartender's desk. Gintani began to circulate his gaze observing the work place of his best friend.

"New employee, huh ?" ask Sindi.

"Not yet, ma'am ! He was told to come first."

"Oh, but usually when it comes, it can work immediately, mbak !"

"really ?"

Sindi nodded. "In the meantime, I want to give this juice to the customer first" he said.

"Yes, please mbak !" answer Gintani.

"Oh, so this is your friend, Al !" said a man who was directly sitting in the chair next to Gintani.

Instantly, Gintani turned her head to look at the handsome man beside her. His heart was racing at the sight of his eyes full of gentleness.

"Yes bang, how ? Is there a job ?" Alya.

"If the work is a lot, but he will not ?" answer bang Alex while looking at Gintani from head to toe.

At that time Gintani wore a long-sleeved t-shirt combined with jeans and brown sneakers. As for working here, at least the employees must wear clothes that are quite pleasing to the point of view in order to attract more customers.

"Sir... What does bang mean ?" ask Gintani.

"Let's watch Alya !" bang Alex's orders.

Gintani glanced at his best friend. He started to observe Alya closely. Gintani smiled at Alya's feminine appearance. She wore a knee-length dress with a hairstyle partially tied in the middle. It is very different from the style of Alya when they work as office girls. Alya's face also looks more mature with natural makeup.

"Now, watch yourself !" orders bang Alex again.

Without looking closely, Gintani was able to find what his boss meant.

"I know, sir ! But I will try to adapt to the environment here.

Alex smiles. "Well, if you're ready, you can start working tonight" Alex said.

"Al, for a while, please teach him on the front only !" Alex pinta.

"Ready,bang !"

"Well, Gintan, welcome to this place ! Alya will be your instructor so you can do your own work. One more thing, don't call me sir ! Just call Alex bang, like everyone else." Alex said.

"Good, bang...! Thank you !" answer Gintani.

"Either. Yes, I live first !" alex said as he left them.

Thankfully, I finally got a new job. Although this is not what I expected, but I am grateful, at least now I have income again to sustain my life and my grandfather.
