The Colorful Work World
Ch 3 Job Offers
I prepare whatever I bring. Because I don't carry a lot of stuff. Just one backpack became my weapon to go home. Like other students. The things I bring are laptops, cell phones, and other supporting equipment. Certainly do not forget the wallet, ID card, SIM, and other self-identity documents.
This time I will use a plane to go home. The cook I chose was waterasia. This airline is a subscription that I often use because the price is cheap and satisfying service. The safety reputation is also quite good than that of macanair airlines. Traveling from my grandmother's house to the airport I took a motorcycle with my sister as an ojek.
“Dek. Busy again with deK?” I approached my sister who was casually playing HP
“ada what mas?”
“Anterin to Airport deck, mas want to go home”
“How many hours?”
“Later Sore”
“OK, I can if it's that hour. There is no class”
After informing my sister, I went to see my grandmother and other family members about my departure.
“what's Ray? Want to go home?” Ask my grandmother who is sitting back watching tv
“Iya yangti, I'll be home later in the afternoon”
“Bareng who's there?”
“Bareng Farid eyang”
Farid is my sister's name. He is currently also attending one of the public universities in Jogja. He is currently in Semester 6 and will soon face the thesis. Just like me, he also has black hair with a tall and thin body. I've lost my height to my sister. According to my mother, maybe the genes of the great-grandfather he inherited because in his life his great-grandfather was very tall.
“be careful on the road, already saying same Siti?”
“Not yet, this run out will only be part”
After the conflict the other day, our relationship was not changed. We keep greeting if we meet and chat occasionally if there is a right moment. But I personally tried as soon as possible to end the conversation. After that I went to the kitchen to face my tanti.
“Tante, I will be home in the afternoon?”
“Whose name? Same Lucas?”
Lucas is the only child of Siti's aunt. He has graduated from public universities but almost DO because it has been too long in college. He currently works for a private company in Jogjakarta.
“Not, same Farid later in the afternoon use motor”
“oh..”
After that there was no more conversation between us. I went back to my room playing laptop to wait for the afternoon.
“It's all ready mas?” Ask my sister while I'm packing things.
“It looks like already, there's not much I want to take with me. The rest just put it here first.” I purposely left some stuff behind because I didn't want to use the in-flight luggage feature. I also don't want to carry a lot of things while traveling.
“Be careful ya Ray on the road. Don't fall asleep and be careful with copet”
“Good y”
“Salam is also for families in the village ya”
“Oke that, we go first. Assalamualaikum”
“Waalaikumsalam”
My brother was driving and I was sitting in the back. We used the black Bario bike to travel. Because my Eye home doesn't have a car so we used a two-wheeler to get to the airport.
The trip was pretty smooth and there weren't many bottlenecks we encountered. It is never empty. Ordinary days are already crowded, during the long holidays this city will be even more crowded. Because many people go on holidays here. The journey to the airport is not too crowded, about 30 minutes.
“Thank you deck already nganterin” I said as I handed over my helmet and hand to him salim.
I searched the entrance and handed my ticket to the officer. Since I used my phone to buy tickets, there was no need to bother bringing a ticket for boarding. Technology is steady.
After getting into the waiting room, I waited for the plane to come while playing my device. I usually read some novels or news while waiting for the flight departure time.
“Waterasia aircraft with flight number ..” My train announcement has arrived. I got out of my seat and went in line to enter the plane. There were no significant incidents on the way this time. All is well and the flight attendant as usual is beautiful and pleasing to the eye. I closed my eyes after skimming the magazine in front of me.
This flight is a short flight so devices are not allowed while on this plane. Especially during take-off and landing. Must wear seat belts and also should not turn on electronic devices.
“The plane this time has reached the airport..” The plane has reached the destination. I opened my eyes and waited for the plane to get off the plane.
“tap tap...” The sound of my feet moving down the stairs while following the other passengers. From here we had to take a bus to get to the arrival terminal. I saw all sorts of people on this plane. There are those who ride alone, with family, there are also those who seem to be on an official trip.
I continued my steps towards DAMRI station. From here I took a bus to get to the area where my village is. While waiting for me to buy food for me to eat because my stomach was getting hungry.
There are a lot of snacks I can choose. But I chose a snack like Chitota to fill my stomach a little. Because it is a bit difficult to eat heavily while waiting for the bus to arrive. Do not forget to buy Caco-caco fizzy menuman to complete the snack I bought.
“Damri damri let's take the attack, peacock,..” my bus has arrived. I hurried up in fear of missing the bus. This bus has no seat number so passengers are free to sit during empty seats. The number of passengers this time is quite quiet, maybe because it is not yet the holiday season.
I was looking for a window seat to see the view. Although the view is always the same, it is quite entertaining to see cars passing by while listening to favorite music. I have been listening to Japanese songs lately. Especially as an anime soundtrack.
I traveled for two hours. I tried not to be too quiet and kept the luggage by hugging the only bag I carried. After reaching the DAMRI base I continued my journey by riding the angkot. After that just continue walking from the place down the angkot.
“Assalamualaikum, I'm home”
“Waalaikumsalam, how to travel?” Ask my mom with a smiling face.
“Safe mother, no problem. Everything is smooth” I replied as I took off my shoes and put my things into the room.
“Where, already got the job not”
“not yet ma'am, have I just arrived. Indeed, what is the mom about work?”
My mother told me to sit next to her and she told me that my aunt in the village offered me a job position as a substitute teacher. According to my mother, if the material is about computers I should be able to because I also had time to teach. When I was in college, I was a religious guide for the college program.
“can also be bu, while working can continue working as well as more suitable” I told my mother.
“Well if so, later tonight aunt Nia will come here to officially appoint you as a teacher.”
“Good, bu”
While waiting for my aunt to come, I rest first. Although the trip is not too long (about 4 hours), my body which is a home child is quite tired.
“Assalamualaikum”
“waalaikumsalam, let's go to aunte”
My aunt came to see me and explain what I was going to do. I will teach to a Private SMK with TKJ subjects. Because I'm from the computer field, this field should fit me perfectly. I immediately accepted the offer and will enter later on Monday.
He told me about the incident when one of their teachers suddenly stopped. From the story I heard. Most likely there is only a little miscommunication so the problem becomes like this.
“May be at home yes, indeed so the teacher salary is not big. But God willing, the reward will be many” replied Aunt Nia to me to convince me to accept this job.
“iya aunt, as a substitute only. If someone replaces him. I am willing to be replaced at any time” said I to make it clear that I do not permanently work as a teacher.
“ alright then” Reply my aunt while continuing the chat to other things. A few minutes later, my aunt worried about being distracted for too long.
While waiting for Monday to arrive, I prepared what I would teach later in class.
