...~Living the Hardness of Life~...

Hearing Kak Dini's words, Andri just smiled. They finally went home. I went inside the house, "Tomorrow I started looking for work, happened not to be far from here many restaurants, I could register as a waiter," I said with a gesture to Grandma.

"No, just find another job. Grandma can't bear to see this beautiful granddaughter of grandmother has to be a waiter."

"No papa, Grandma. While looking for experience, say you know tomorrow we have our own restaurant," I replied with a gesture. Grandma just shook to, after persuading my seduction Grandma finally allowed.

The next day, a sunny day with a burning spirit, I started to walk in search of work. I booked an ojek online, the car in the old house was unused because no one could drive it. Not too far from home there was already a restaurant, I went in and asked with Security, I wrote, "Sir, is this place opening job vacancies?"

Security read my writing, then asked, "You're mute?"

I nodded, The Security then smiled, his smile looking disdainful. "Sorry, this restaurant does open vacancies but not for people like you. So, please find somewhere else" said Security with a laugh.

I walked down, wanting to be angry was free. Going to another restaurant, the result is the same. Everyone I met just insulted and laughed at me. Starting to despair, I sat on this beautiful beach, hoping that someone would accept my job application.

With my heart calmed down, I stood up and continued on. There are only 1 restaurant that I have not tried, go in and give a cover letter. The service is very good and friendly, but the restaurant is not opening job vacancies.

All hope is gone. Grandma said, I shouldn't be looking for a job. While walking towards the exit, a man wearing a suit and tie called out to me, "Miss, wait a minute."

I looked up, the man approached. "Is Miss looking for a job?" said the Man.

I nodded, The man said, "It so happens, I am the owner of this restaurant, it looks like it will be more maximal if it adds 1 more waiter. May I see your cover letter?"

Smiling widely, giving a cover letter to the restaurant owner. After reading, the restaurant owner said, "OK, no problem related to your shortcomings, the important thing is to be able to deliver food well and clean this place. I'll accept your job application, come back tomorrow and start working."

I kissed the restaurant owner's hand and wrote, "Thank you very much, sir."

"Yes.. same tomorrow at 8 am has come."

I respect her, I'm excited, I walk around laughing happily. Rushing home impatiently wanted to tell this good news to grandma. Arriving at home, I was surprised when I entered to see grandma lying on the floor, running to approach grandma.

Clapping his cheek, but never conscious, I hold his hand turns out there is still a pulse. Panic mixed with fear, confused what to do. If you call your sister Early time to go home very long.

My grandmother laid on the couch, then I went out hoping someone would pass by and I could ask for her help. Looking at the right and left of the streets so quiet, it was very rare for me to see anyone passing by here.

When he saw Grandma lying on the sofa, Kak Dini immediately approached Grandma. "What's going on?" ask Kak Dini.

I shook my head, Brother Dini lifted Grandma into the car. We rushed to the hospital. Arriving at the hospital, the doctor immediately examined Grandma. I can only cry sitting next to Kak Dini, "Don't worry, Grandma must be fine," said Kak Dini as she hugged me.

Shortly after, the Doctor approached us, "After I checked it looks like the patient has bleeding in the brain due to impact, for more certainty we will do scanning, please be patient waiting," said the Doctor.

I hugged Kak Dini tightly, unstoppable tears, what if I lost Grandma, that was always what I had in mind. "Patience, we just wait," said Kak Dini while stroking my back.

Further examination was carried out, Grandma was transferred to the examination room.We waited for 1 hour, finally the doctor came out. "As I suspected, the patient had bleeding in the brain and had to undergo surgery immediately.

"About how much does it cost, Doc?" ask Kak Dini.

"I don't understand that, please go to the administration to ask about the cost."

The doctor then left, Grandma will be operated on after the fee is paid off. Kak Dini and I immediately went to the administrative officer to inquire about the fees that must be paid. Only money left from the sale of my house, car, and savings are not much.

The amount to be paid off turned out to be quite large, but my savings and the remaining money from the sale of the house was enough to pay for it. I said with Brother Dini gesturing, "Take me to the Bank, I will pay off this afternoon as well so that Grandma can be operated on immediately."

Kak Dini drove me to the Bank, I know Kak Dini actually wanted to help but, the money he had certainly not that much. After we took all the remaining money from the sale of my house and savings, we rushed to the hospital and paid off the operating costs.

Grandma who was lying in the treatment room, then moved to the operating room. Before the operation began, I was told to sign all the papers in case something unwanted happened, roughly speaking if the operation failed and Grandma died.

"We can not guarantee the success of the operation because of the patient's advanced age, just pray this operation is successful" said the doctor and went to the operating room.

The doctor's words are very painful. Grandma has to be healthy again, just Grandma I have, I don't know how to live life without Grandma. "Hani, believe Grandma will be fine," said Kak Dini.

The operation began, My sister and I could only wait outside. Walking back and forth, panicking, and impatiently waiting. "Hani, just sit next to my sister" said Kak Dini. Her tears came out of her eyes.

Kak Dini also looks very worried, just more able to act calm. I sat next to Brother Dini, holding his hand so I could be calmer. For four hours we waited for the doctor to come out, the doctor's face was very limp, saying with us, "Sorry...."
