The Colorful Work World
Ch. 88 Arip Looking for a Job
Unlike this morning of graduation, this time we all went to take photos. Not only my family, Eyang and also Bude Nana participated for the photo session this time. Of course the photo we took was to capture the moment of Arip graduation. Not haphazardly, we went to a special photo studio to take our photos. Arip has booked in advance so we can do a photo session.
When I first graduated. There was no moment like this, because it was a fasting month so I was too limp to hold a photo session. Luckily we have some photos after graduation from campus as well as personal photos.
From the campus there is also a photo when the rector moved the toga. I remember the picture I took home. I don't know where the picture is now. Should be searched first where the photo is located next to where.
This time Arip is still using toga and became the main star of the event this time. I myself used a shirt and pants for this photo session. Dad wore a black suit with trousers complete with tie and pantofel shoes.
I wear the same kebaya as Yana. They use blue-colored kebaya. While Lamda wore a box shirt with jeans.
Eyang and Bude Nina also wore a red kebaya. I think this photo session will be quite colorful with contents like this. Maman did not take the photo and just waited in the car. He would often wait in the car if it was an event like this. Shame to join, he said.
"Excuse me mbak, on behalf of Arip is ready for a photo?"
"For a minute, I'll check." The receptionist checks the data on the computer for a few minutes.
"It's ready, brother, please go up to the second floor in room two. "
"Okay, thank you."
We all headed to the second floor to take photos. Somewhat bother to go up the stairs because the father and Eyang need help while doing it. Our young friends helped them to climb the stairs by leading them. Although we were not fully guided because the two of them still wanted to walk on their own feet.
On the second floor, we checked where our room was. Seeing that the photographer was getting ready, we used this opportunity to improve our appearance first. So that later when photographed becomes cooler.
"Please wait here. In a moment, I'll call the photographer first. "
Our room is quite spacious at the moment. About 2x3 meters. In this room there are several photo attributes such as sofas, paintings, and other decorations. While waiting for the photographer to come, we are satisfied to take photos with our mobile camera first.
A few minutes later, the photographer finally came and immediately prepared us for his photo.
"Yes, Mother, get ready to take a position. Adek that there is a bit sliding a bit of its foundation. Ready yes, one two three. "
The photo brother directed us to every photo session. There's Arip's moment in his own photo, a photo with the nuclear family. Just a photo with the whole group. We took pictures of him many times.
After being satisfied to take photos, we went out of the room to do a choice of which photos we would print. We should also get a digital version of this photo in addition to physical form. Usually the photo is given in addition to print, is in the form of a CD.
Arip and the mother both chose the photo to print, then they would clear up administrative issues such as paying for the photo. After everything was settled, we continued walking for a while then returned to the place of Eyang.
The next day, we were ready to go home. Because Monday will all be back to work. I myself will return to Tangerang first because tomorrow I will return to the office. So I went down earlier than the father and the others. Arip himself is still living in Jogja because there is still business that he has to settle. Therefore our formation when returning home is complete with the family except Arip, and Om Maman as the driver.
Because at this time it is still the beginning of a pandemic so it has not wfh. Our trip was quite tiring especially when the moment Yana lashed. This happened when we got to a rest area.
"Let's turn first, find some field food." I insist on forcing all the feet to eat the field.
He ate the food he ordered. Me, Lamda, and Om Maman did the same. After eating, the father with the pedunya smoked in the air-conditioned room. Funnily enough, the restaurant employee even brought ashtrays for him, instead of banning smoking. He said it was forbidden to smoke and even provide ashtrays, how strange is it?
Beres eating the field, I'm the one who paid the cost of eating. It will usually be replaced by sleep by the mother. After finishing eating, I saw Yana still craving because she did not want to eat on the spot because there was still a pandemic was. He wanted it wrapped so it could be eaten in the car.
Finished the eating problem, we continued our journey and finally I got off at Tangerang. When we arrived in Tangerang, there was enough time. Looks like they'll get home in the early morning. I brought the stuff I was carrying and got out of the car. Surely I have checked first if there are any items left behind.
"Father, mother, Raya said yes to the contract. "
"Yes son, be careful in the way of diligent cooperation huh. "
After parting ways with my family, I continued my journey on foot. Up to the contract, I immediately took a break because I was tired of traveling all day. Of course I have changed clothes first and wear clothes that are more comfortable to wear at home.
Tonight rest, and tomorrow I go back to work. Arip has graduated, it is time he sought a job that is in accordance with his field. Hopefully he can get a job quickly. Due to pandemic times like this, it is difficult to get a job. I can't find a job quickly if I'm in the same situation.
A few months later, I went back to my usual activities. I also got word that Arip has started testing here and there to find a job. In the end, he got a job opportunity after passing all the tests.
"Well, pah, I got a job. "
As we were all gathering in the living room, Arip told us that he was going to start online job training and would be signing a contract.
"Congratulations Arip, finally after going through many tests. You're gonna start working. Where's the show going?"
He said that the signature of the contract will be done at a hotel located in Jakarta. I was envious because in my old days, there was no such grand event. Even so, I am still happy that my sister has finally entered the workforce completely.
But it is quite a dilemma. Because if he accepts this offer. 5 years he must serve in accordance with the contract. Because he was accepted into one of the state-owned companies. Once he took this contract, he couldn't either get out except pay the fine.
Another thing that makes him more upset is the line of business that he entered in banking. Many of the studies I follow. Entering into a conventional bank and taking care of usury is illegal. Whether the correct rules are like what because many opinions from scholars who each law is different. Depends on which stream you follow.
I asked my other friends about my sister's work. Most of them choose to avoid banking. The thing is, all the money was originally from there and there was a lot there. Moreover, employment opportunities during pandemics like this are rare.
Fortunately I did not get into the credit offer section, he instead went into the IT section. The real job suits me better than my sister's graduate. Even so, I'm glad he finally got a pretty good job.
After a long debate and he had thought for a long time, he finally decided to take it. Because of the location of the hotel in Jakarta, parents again called Om Maman to deliver Arip to the location of the hotel.
I hope all my sister's office business goes well. Because he also still has to consider the contents of the contract before signing. I really hope he has to read in detail and understand all the contents of the work contract he will travel. So that in the future he will not get problems because there are defects in the contract.
O Allah, conduct my sister's business in the affairs of work and may she be successful in the path she chooses, O Allah. Aamyn
