"Goddessa!!! I was rejected again, time!!! A graduate of a top University in the U. S. You know, I'm!"
I squeezed instantly, as soon as I received a message through my email, about my CV, which was again rejected by a company in this country...
Yeah...
Almost a year since my return to Indonesia, I have sent CVs to several companies, ranging from large companies that are very prestigious, to medium-sized companies.
None of those companies are interested in accepting me to join them!
Fuck the college degree!
In fact, my title as a graduate of a top University abroad, has no effect at all in this country!
Age, and at a minimum, work experience!
Yeah! That's always the reason they rejected me!
Huuuff... If only they had known that I had served as a financial manager at one of the world's leading companies! Note it! THE WORLD!
Uhh... Never mind...
There is no proof!
I worked there, not until a year, then, just left after handing in the resignation letter, without knowing, how the response of the company...
Yes tuhaaann... Remembering that, it made me think of two men who have been in my life...
Why was my life so easy, when the two men were by my side???
"Aaaaaarrrrrgggghhh!!! Surah gw!!!"
I ruffled my hair again, and closed my laptop again, and closed my eyes on the arm resting on this table.
'Tok...! Tok...! Heck...!'
"Jen!!! Lu why!!!"
Clara went straight into my room, you know, this room wasn't locked.
He rushed up to me, who was still in the same position.
Very reluctant to respond to his presence in this house, which is not since when
"Lu why, Jen!" Said worriedly
I turned my head lazily towards him, and glanced at the large mound on his stomach.
"Don't think about it... Think first it's your stomach that's getting bigger! I'm so glad I saw it!" I said lazily, then returned to my original position
"Darahi!!! Yenol!!! No fun, I'm coming!" Pissed Clara
I turned my head back lazily towards him, then rose from my seat limply, also a face that was clear.
"You're so gw, you'll be like gini, Ra..." I said then 'throw' my body on the bed, with the position of the face down
Clara came up to me immediately, then sat right next to me.
"Yes, you tell me, donk..."
"Gw rejected again... Huo... Huu.. Hu..." Whiney
"Geez!!! I'm kirain what the fuck!" Clara said casually
His words woke me up instantly, then sat right in front of him, to stare straight at his face!
"Kok 'gw kirain what'! Crazy times you ya! You just shadow! Time, yes! Gw who graduated from a top university in the US, with the title 'Summa Cumme Laude' dozens of times rejected by the company!" I ranted
"Reason?" Clara said casually
"My life doesn't fit the criteria!"
"Emang, how old are you?"
"Different a year doank equal you!"
"How much?"
"Three... Ahhhhhh!!!!"
"Hahaahahahaahahaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!" Clara laughed heartily at me, who was now acting like a little boy in a tantrum, on the bed
"Yes, let's go outside first, yuk! We've made a pact with the kids, we're going to gather today!" Clara
Clara's words, instantly, distract me, and wake up from my 'tantrum'
"Oh yes, yes! Yuk, come!" I said, then hurried
Clara was really astonished to see my attitude that could change 180° so quickly!
"Lu why?!" My astonished words, seeing Clara's attitude
"Eh? W-whoa!" Then, get up from her seat.
As soon as we walked to the door...
"Change first, woooyy!!!" Clara said, stopping our steps
"Oh yeah, yeah!" My legow
***********************
"So, just because of age?!" Dennis said, behind the steering wheel, occasionally looking at me in the passenger seat
I nodded softly, bending my face
"Lho, how old are you, anyway?!"
"Dennis! The devil! We are the same age, yes! I'm only a year older than your bini! That's why it's so weird, huh!" Piqued
"Hahaahahaahahaahahaaaaaaaa!!!" The couple mocked me with their laughter
"Sorry, sorry... That's not what I mean, Pel! I mean, I mean, you know! Three five is not old! Except four five, maybe!" Dennis continued again, as if correcting his first words
"Well, there it is, Den! In this indo, ribet, you know! His age limit makes no sense! Maximum of two five! Hihhh anjir! Is it a waste not the title gw?!" Myl
"Make it worse, now!" Clara Imbuh
"In Switzerland yesterday, age 50 can still be you know, working at fast food! In Germany, yes! A lot of people are still at work! What gw?!" I'm upset again
"What do you want, gawe at fast food?" Dennis said again
"What a hell, yang!" Clara's protest to her husband
"What the hell, Den! What matters is that I am not angry! Very nice, you know, no!" Whiney
"What a fact, Jen! Dear your title, lah!" Clara is back in protest
"Ra, what is the meaning of the title, if nyari gawean aja, it's difficult to build a thousand temples in the same time!" My legow
"Diiihh!!! Lebayy!!!" Sahut Clara
"Well, yeah, anyway! It's hard to find a job in your own country! Yes, I am a foreign graduate! No kayang deh, the original graduates indo! Youhhhh!!! It's horrifying!" I said shuddering
"Work at my cousin's, will you?! His salary is big, but the boss is a bit complicated he said!" Dennis
"What job, which?" Clara
"That's what Good said yesterday, you know!"
"Ooowwhh..."
"You, gw!!! GO, Den!!! YOU!!!" My leg is full of spirit
"But the boss is ribet, he says... Emang, anyway..."
"YOU, DEN!!! W MAUUU!!!" I immediately interrupted Dennis' words, with a fierce spirit
"Open BO, will you, lu!" Sahut Clara
I stared intently at Clara, who was sitting right in the chair next to her husband
"Crazy you, yes!!! Amit-amit! Amit-amit!!!" I knocked on my head and knees with my knuckles
"Hahaahahaaaaaaaa!!!!" The couple laughed with satisfaction at my attitude
"Yes it is impossible, my man who is at once your thick friend, nawarin the work is to you! Think of it one time, Jen!" Clara said, interspersed with laughter
"So secretary, Pel! But the boss sumpaaahh..."
"MAU GW, DEN!!! MAAUUUU YA TUHAAAANNN!!!" I exulted with excitement
"Yes, I'll talk to the good guy, yeah!" Dennis said again, and I nodded excitedly!
Yeah!
At least, there was a speck of hope for me this time!
And to be honest, what Dennis said earlier, really affected my mood today!
It was seen when I finally reunited with my friends, whom I had not seen for a long time, except Ginna of course!
Because the last time we communicated, a few weeks ago, the beautiful girl is now preparing for her wedding in America!
Ahhh... I am so happy for my best friend's wedding!
And I, even Clara was unceasingly smiling at the change in me at the moment, remembering, she was so aware of my journey some time ago
"Gw is so happy to see you now, Jen! Keep going, yeah! I like Jenny who's like this..." Clara said with a very sincere smile
I interrupted her with a smile, then hugged her tightly...
"Surely, Ra! I have promised Joey, same bokap and nyokap gw, if I, will live happily ever after... I'll face whatever happens in the future..."
Clara outlined her embrace, then looked me in the eye...
"Lu also have to promise, same pounding you who jerked again want brojol!" Clara said, gently rubbing the large mound on her stomach
I knelt down, facing towards Clara's enlarged belly, then rubbed her slowly...
"Mommy promise! You are unwritten proof, the birth of mommy's happiness... And your presence will be a witness to the happiness of mommy... Mommy Saaaawhat a shame on you!" I said then I kissed Clara's stomach
Clara even shed happy tears...
Aaaahhh...
