Long Journey of Tough Women
87. Job Search

Work will never come to you. You have to go to him and do it yourself. Because those who are successful are those who not only sit and put their hands up, but those who are willing to work and try.

Every effort and work is not as simple as our shadow. Because we have to drip sweat in order to fill our granaries and coffers. Eda Sally

After feeling that it was enough to recover, Erik immediately got up and changed his clothes in neat clothes.

"Where are you going?" Yuana asked in surprise because Erik was wearing neat clothes.

"I want to go to some offices to see if there are vacancies or not. I can't just stay home. I have to work." Said Erik then sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I'll go with you. I also want to apply for a job to help you. I don't want you to fight alone, while I sleep at home." Said Yuana rising from her sleep and sitting beside Erik.

Erik stroked Yuana's hair, and kissed her forehead gently.

"Don't! You're better off at home. I don't want anything bad to happen to you that's gonna drive me almost crazy for the second time. Enough's enough! I don't want to lose you again." Erik said then grabbed Yuana's body and hugged her.

"Then you don't have to work either. I still keep the check that the big master gave me when he told me to come here. That's a pretty big amount for our living expenses for two to three years."

"I know, honey. I knew! But I want us to keep the stash. We don't know what's going to happen in the future. Brother Bram will also send you every month, but I don't want you to live hard just because you married me. So, don't hinder my intention to find a job." Erik explained meekly as he continued to play Yuana's hair.

"Then I will accompany you to some office you will come to." Yuana insisted.

"No! I don't want other men to see you, let alone look at you with desire. I don't want you to make me jealous in there and not go along with my plan. Please!" Erik rejected Yuana's proposal.

"All right! I'll stay and wait for you here." Yuana said she relented in the end.

"Thank you dear. If you are bored and want to go for a walk, invite Alika and Habib to accompany you. Never go alone! But you better not go anywhere if I'm not home. I'm scared and worried." Erik was honest about what he was thinking and increasingly tightened his embrace.

"Yes! I knew! I'm not going anywhere." Said Yuana raising her face and smiling at Erik.

Erik immediately raised Yuana's face and kissed her gently.

"I'm going first, right?" Said Erik.

"Yes! Be careful on the road. If it's done hurry home so I don't worry." Yuana said solemnly.

Erik pinched both of Yuana's cheeks then immediately came out and immediately left. He used a taxi service, as they did not even have a motorcycle either. He was embarrassed to have to borrow a car from Agatha. He did not want to constantly trouble Agatha, because the girl had helped them too much already.

Erik directs a taxi to come to the first office he had been looking for before. When he arrived at the office, Erik immediately paid the taxi fare and got off then went straight in and headed to the reception.

Erik is seen talking seriously with the woman and occasionally nods his head. The woman seemed very eloquent in explaining what Erik asked.

When he finished, Erik was seen exiting the company and calling a taxi.

Uh! Hopefully the second office I'm looking for still needs employees.

Along the way to the second place that Erik will go to continue to pray so that he can be accepted there.

After arriving, Erik entered and saw there was an announcement of a job vacancy. He went to the receptionist to ask and convince himself of what he had read.

"Can I help you?" Ask the lady at the reception politely.

"Ahmm, I'm looking for a job and read vacancies that the office here still needs an accountant in the finance department." Answer Erik.

"It just so happens that we are in need of an accountant who can help manage the company's finances because lately there have been more frequent declines and it has caused no small loss. For more details, I will escort you to meet the secretary who will take care of everything with the master. Come!" The woman said politely.

Erik followed the woman into the elevator and headed to the 21st floor. After arriving, the woman directed Erik into the room in question.

"Sorry sir! These are prospective employees who want to apply in the finance department." The word resistor is polite.

Mr. Rex, the secretary, is seen observing Erik, then allowing him to sit down.

"So, you want to propose like our receptionist said?" Ask Mr. Rex.

"True sir." Erik replied politely.

"May I see your CV and cover letter?"

"By master! Erik replied steadily while handing over the files he had prepared before their wedding day.

Good thing Bram is smart. It has changed my identity and and also my diploma according to my new name. May this master not be meticulous so that I am accepted to work here.

"So you graduated from the University of Oxford?" Asked Mr. Rex in disbelief then observed Erik.

"True sir." Erik replied.

"I'll test you with some things you have to do now in front of me. You only have twenty minutes to finish it. Said mr. Rex.

"Okay sir! I'm ready!" Erik answered with a sigh.

Mr. Rex then moved up and opened the computer at the table next to him, then smiled at Erik.

"You can start now. Remember that! You only have twenty minutes. In just one second you won't let me work." Said mr. Rex

"Okay sir! I understand."

Erik immediately moved and immediately sat on the chair then his hands began to agilely do what was on the screen.

Although he has often done that, but only this time he feels working while at the value of people. Erik takes a quick look at his watch so he doesn't run out of time.

Mr. Rex is seen rounding his eyes seeing Erik's speed in doing what he asks.

Apparently he's not just anyone. It seems like he is used to doing things like this. But if he's an important person, why would he propose like this?

Twelve minutes later, Erik had finished his work and stood up.

"It's over, sir. Please check first!" Erik said politely.

"Have you?" Asked Mr. Rex in disbelief and immediately approached the computer beside him.

Mr. Rex observed Erik's work and then smiled at Erik. Erik nodded politely in response to a smile from Mr. Rex.

I didn't think he would only take twelve minutes to finish. It's really incredible.
