The Fall of the Star
Chapter 31 Day Interview

And the anticipated Monday arrived. Ayudia had deliberately set off early in the morning wearing formal clothes in the form of a long-sleeved white shirt covered with navy blazer and black pants. She also started wearing a hijab and styling it as neat as possible like the usual Goddess wear. Later if indeed he will work in the office, then there will be no more sultry reason in the production room if you have to veil.

“Wah, pangling loh me, usually wear production uniform without hijab, hehe.” The goddess greeted when she saw Ayudia walking towards her. The head of HRD who will be interviewed has not yet arrived. You just wait there jerk, yes.” The goddess pointed at a long chair in front of the office door

“Endingly want your kayak that,” Ayudia replied as is. Yes, all this time he also wanted to veil but if you remember his work that sometimes is in the shoe material press machine that was very sultry he became lazy. Maybe that guidance hasn't come yet. What is clear is that the transition period from the time of Ayudia has not experienced memory pain with the aftermath is indeed a lot of changes in many things both outside and inside Ayudia.

“Oh yes, later will not be discussed about me who is just a High School graduate, right, Dew? I'm nervous, nih.” Ayudia asked again about that. Though since yesterday afternoon he had called Dewi and kept making sure about it.

“Ngak will. Surely he will see for himself in your CV, He. The important thing is that you are confident and show your abilities. We have a Microsoft Office certificate from school. That's enough, really. I used to do the same high school diploma, He. Don't be nervous dong, even if you are nervous later you look not maximal, loh.” The goddess warned that Ayudia was confident and seemed confident in herself. After all, administrative work must be controlled by high school graduates even though they have never practiced work in the field directly.

“Duh, yes. Very nervous I know.” Ayudia seemed even more nervous now. Glanced at the watch that still shows the number seven less than half an hour. Holy hooch! The closer he gets, the more nervous he gets. Even his palms are now cold and start to water when they usually never.

The goddess who saw the anxiety of her friend's face was finally telling her to pray dhuha first in the mushalla office.

“Sana you should wudhu and dhuha prayer first if not,” his advice while entering the room. Before long he returned while carrying a small folding mukena bag and handed it to Ayudia. “Let his heart calm down and ask to be launched during the interview. Gih, there's a way to the left!” point the Goddess to the left of the office corridor.

Yes, Ayudia has never set foot to the top floor where the office is located. He only dwells in the production room on the first floor only a very large area.

Ayudia also according. He had not prayed dhuha at home. Too nervous to make him miss a lot of preparation. Holy hooch!

And miraculously, after performing the two rakaat sunnah prayer he felt much calmer. If you do not remember the clock has mepet time to enter the office which is seven hours, then he will definitely increase the number of rakaatnya. Because it turns out that prayer can indeed provide calmness and confidence in yourself. Whatever the outcome, the important thing is that he has tried his best and only the sustenance of God will determine whether he was successfully received or not.

The folding mukena was returned to the room of the Goddess who blinked one eye to encourage the friend. It was exactly seven o'clock and Ayudia stayed waiting to be called into the HRD head room at the end of the large room where the Dewi cubicle and many other servants were located.

“Ayudia Maharani?” The HRD chief finally opened the door and mentioned his name while glancing towards Ayudia who was sitting upright in the waiting chair.

“Iya, I, Sir?” ayudia replied as she stood up and fixed the neat location of her hijab.

“Let's go in,” he said leave the door behind him open for passage through Ayudia.

Ayudia said Bismillah in a clean manner and also read as much shalawat.

'Shallallahu 'Ala Muhammad Shollallahu 'alaihi wasallam' Ayudia's inner self repeatedly.

But his nervousness had completely disappeared. He can control his steps and himself to keep looking firm and not nervous in front of the head of HRD who is a man in his forties, black and half-bald hair.

“Please sit!” the short statement of the head of HRD which is now visible from the name tag on his desk is named Mr. Hartono.

And Ayudia was sitting in a chair right in front of Mr. Hartono's desk and prepared through the interview period as perfectly as possible. He then put the CV he carried on the table and was taken by Mr. Hartono. The middle-aged man flipped through his paper and momentarily read a few pages.

“So you previously worked as an employee in the production section and came out because of permission after having an accident after work, right?” Apparently that was discussed first by the head of HRD.

“Betul, Sir. Already about three months ago the incident happened,” replied Ayudia complete the information.

“Yes, listed here the date of his resignation as well as a description from his hospital,” comments Mr. Hartono while returning to flip through his paper.

“Then, why when you want to work again in this company, instead of applying again in the same foreman but instead choose to the administration?” ask Mr. Hartono again. The man's eagle eyes looked towards Ayudia's eyes and detected nothing from there.

It appears that Mr. Hartono nodded his head and then went back to flip through the pile of paper on the Ayudia CV.

“SMA graduation with many A values and 9 numbers. Goody. Microsoft Office certification is also A, okay. For standard qualifications it does qualify actually. It's just that the fans in this section are not just you. Later eight o'clock will also come again other applicants who may have been educated bachelor or at least diploma ..” Mr. Hartono deliberately paused his sentence. Let Ayudia respond first to his words even though it is not a question that needs to be answered as well.

“Iya, Sir. I knew from my friend that there would be several applicants interviewed today. I think you should look for the best among existing applicants first because that is the duty of the Father as the head of HRD,” replied Ayudia finally.

“Then, what do you think makes me later will be sure to give this job to you? Can you mention maybe your advantages from other applicants later?” ask Mr. Hartono who was very trapping that once.

How could Ayudia possibly know what the advantages are compared to other applicants that he himself does not know.However, Ayudia, his brain immediately worked quickly and drew the conclusion that surely what the head of HRD wanted to know was the advantages that Ayudia had that could be favored with regard to the job he was applying for.

“I don't know how the other applicants, sir. But as a former production employee at this company, I think I will be more quickly able to adapt at the office here and also better understand the ins and outs of production administration and conditional affairs there. I think that's my advantage over other applicants who are not departing from their own company environment.” That was Ayudia's answer. He let out a long sigh while hoping inwardly that his answer would not be a blunder to himself. For if the head of HRD will even conclude that Ayudia should be returned to the production section only because he was so qualified there first.

“Good. I like your analysis of what my question means. And instead of looking for other weaknesses, but you focus on finding more points that you can give yourself. Okay, I guess that's enough. You will get a second call if indeed later you are the chosen one, yes. Good luck, Ayudia,” said Mr. Hartono as he rose and greeted Ayudia.

Ayudia smiled as she said, “Thank you, sir.” Then turn around and leave without forgetting to close the door of the HRD head's room. Dewi looked up from her position and asked with a shoulder movement because she was busy and could not approach Ayudia directly there.

Ayudia just lifted her right thumb while smiling confidently even though she did not know the result would be accepted or not. The interview results are good, he thinks. Just stay to see if the other applicants will be much better than him or not. That's all that will determine everything. And of course the factor of sustenance from Allah also plays a role in it. Praying, Ayudia was in her heart all the way home.

Arriving at home, the curious Bu Nani of course immediately asked to be told about the experience of the interview earlier in the office. He was so curious about what was going on there that Ayudia told him at length because he also wanted to ask his mother for her opinion.

“Well, you did your best, son. What matters is effort. The result is that let us share God, yes. Don't forget to keep praying.” The wise Bu Nani said to give encouragement as well as comfort.

Ayudia then rested in the room and did not forget to call Elvira immediately after her chat and knew that her best friend was not busy in her college eye class.

“Wah, I'm going to wait for the results. When is the announcement said?” Elvira asked in amazement.

The girl is still very amazed at the people of her age who have faced the world of work while she still has to struggle with the dictate book, exams and also hunt for task scores.

“Entah later after all applicants are interviewed or maybe tomorrow. The word Goddess is usually direct, El. You have to rush to fill the empty place left by his old employees who want maternity leave, right. This is why I dig-degan very much nih.” Ayudia answered honestly.

“But I'm sure you'll get it, he. You've always been amazing,” entertain Elvira encouraging her friend.

“The problem was also mentioned about how if other applicants are graduates or at least diploma? Geez, it's like I'm so low that only SMA, El.” Ayudia expressed the reason for her disbelief.

“Yes but if the graduate means his age is older than you. Some people prefer a younger age. Just be calm. That's a sustenance thing. Ask God to be loved. Yuk, we pray together, yuk,” invite Elvira then he himself immediately membatin pray for success for the friend.

He knew very well Ayudia was eager to get away with the job because it would be a fairly significant increase in the level of just rough production employees to office employees in the administration. It was a great opportunity for Ayudia and she as a friend also very much expected Ayudia managed to get the opportunity.
