Mine motor that carries passengers slowly wading through the strait of Rengit to the city of Regency. Motor mining is a term used by the Malay people of Riau which means a ship that transports passengers.


It has been two hours Mumu hot and huddled in this mine motorbike. But that doesn't make him feel tired. Even on his face was always engraved with a smile because soon he would set foot in the city of Selatpanjang.


Selatpanjang is one of the regency cities located in Riau Province.


...How wonderful that is!...


Said people working in the city was nice, casual work every month nerima money. Therefore, armed with his High School diploma and with a variety of mature considerations, Mumu finally determined to work in the city of Regency.


Half an hour later the mine docked at the port. In awe, Mumu followed a rush of passengers who rushed the bridge into the shop hallway and finally appeared in front of the Chinese shop.


Your mom breathed. Ah, this is the smell of the city. This is Juling's market. As far as the eye could see, shops were lined up along the beach. Pedestrians, motorbikes and rickshaws back and forth filled the streets adding to the noise of the city.


"Sir, Sister?"


"Ngojek, Brother?" some people offer their services.


"If you go to Dorak street near the Regent's office how much does it cost, sir?" Previously, Mumu had been informed that the office area of this Regency city was on Dorak Street.


"Thirty thousand, Brother."


"Can't be less, sir?" Mumu tried nawar. After the bargain was finally agreed the cost to be twenty thousand rupiah.


It is true said his father, in that city we must dare to bargain.


Your money is not much. Considering soon he will get a job, then what's wrong a little extravagant Mumu thought.


The Regent's office building is very grand. Mumu was so amazed to see it. If only Mumu knew that the Regent's office was relatively simple when compared to other districts, maybe Mumu would faint.


After hesitating for a moment, Mamu ventured towards the guard post beside the Regent's office gate.


"Please, sir, are there any job openings here, sir?" ask Mumu as decently as possible.


There are three men in this post. Using uniforms and sturdy bodies coupled with whiskers and bewok make the look of the three guards very macho. But all three of Mumu's gaze was slightly down, seeing their super narrow clothes on the protruding part of her stomach, the macho impression suddenly disappeared from Mumu's mind.


"There are no job openings here" said one guard who was playing the game in his phone. "Go back!"


You wonder, you just ask why should emotions. "Any work can be done, sir. I happen to have a high school diploma." This time Mumu's gaze turned towards the middle-aged man who was smoking his cigarette.


"Do you have a record?" The middle-aged man answered Mumu's question by asking back.


"What is the record, sir?" Your mama's scratching her head.


The middle-aged man looked at Mumu with a look of pity.


"Do you have a brother who works here?" tanyanya.


Mumu was more astonished. What is like this is the way to find work in the city.


But Mumu did not have time to answer, suddenly the guard who was playing the game earlier stomped his hand on the table. His face was red withstanding anger.


"You said there are no job openings here. Go there!" the hardic.


Go quickly! Before I kick you out!"


With a forced Mumu also turned to walk away.


"I told you, get out of here. Walk like a snail." His impact.


"That's it, Har!" The middle-aged man reprimanded the guard.


"Are you okay, brother?" He pulled Mumu to stand up. "Hurry and get out of here. Otherwise you'll be beaten by him."


"Thank you very much for your help, sir." Your mum cleaned up the dust and a little blood on her face. With a sick heart he began to step away from the gate. Asphalt scratched face can still be withheld, humiliation without a clear cause really makes the heart feel sore.


"Eatya if you want to find that job do not come from nyosor, man! The village people!" Suddenly a voice had shocked Mumu. He immediately turned away. At the gate stood a young man who was shaking his waist while laughing sarcastically. I don't know when he was there. Next to him was a beautiful woman with shoulder-length hair.


"Sorry, bang. Whose brother is this? Coming straight to people. It's a question of what my brother is with me. Just know not." Wonder Mumu. What is this attitude of the city.


I like to have problems with others.


"Hm. It's up to me, what I want to say. My mouth, my mouth. My tongue, my tongue. You as a village should be self-aware. You don't deserve to be here."


Mumu just stared at the face of the young man named Roni. Lazy he retorted. Not yet finished the problem with the guard had now also arisen a new problem with the arrogant young man who likes to look for things.


"Ha ha bang Hardi long time no see." Seeing that Mumu did not reply to her words Roni immediately greeted the guard while walking towards them. While the girl remained silent while following where Roni went.


Since there was no interest here, Mumu immediately left from there.


But the goals are still being heard chatter Roni and the officer named Hardi. Si Roni seems to have deliberately raised her voice so that Mumu hears her needs.


Apparently he came to take the girl who followed him earlier to work in the Law Department.


Mumu no longer cares. At least he has begun to understand the meaning of job vacancies here. If there is an inside acquaintance, it will be able to work.


But Mumu doesn't believe all offices are like that.


Therefore, with the remaining despair in the chest, Mamu continued his footsteps to other office areas.


Although his spirit is still imprinted on the chest, but not as strong as when he was still in the village.


It is not easy to find a job in the city.


The High School Degree that he was very proud of turned out to be difficult to do here.


...****************...


"Why were you being rude to that young man, Har?" Ask Mr. Somad while sipping coffee.


Hardi who was playing the game unconsciously stopped his game. There is a little bit of a sense of reluctance towards Mr. Somad.


"The kid is so annoying. I've said there are no vacancies but still ngeyel."


"Why should emotions up to physical play everything? Is it because of the kid's resentment or because you lost the game?"


Hardi remained silent. Because what Mr. Somad said is true. He lost the game. So that kid was just an emotional outburst.


Who told you to come at the wrong time, Hardi thought.


'Look at you if I see you again, I'll hit you until I get to the hospital. Because of you, I was reprimanded by Mr. Somad.' Hardi murmured in the heart.
