Two days at home, Habibah also began to take care of job application files at a Sawit company not far from his village. From taking care of health papers to taking care of a certificate of good behavior from the police he did it himself. After three days all the job application requirements are completed. And he was also picked up by a school friend first while sitting in Tsanawiyah Agus madrasah to both submit his job application letter to the personnel section. Two weeks later they also got an interview call, when in the interview Habibah got a question that he thought was a bit strange.
" If you are accepted to work in this company, which one would you like to choose to be a Kerani Office or Kerani field?" ask an Askep who interviewed her.
" I want to work in the Kerani section of the field" he replied confidently.
" why? Give reasons?" ask again.
" I prefer to be on the field because I can interact more with many people and get to know the character of people from various tribes. Besides that I don't like a lot of work sitting, I prefer a job that requires me to move more" he replied again.
" Are you not afraid of heat and dirty? Usually a girl does not like hot or dirty conditions. That's why more work in the field is done by men." asked Askep again.
" Sitting a lot is boring sir" Habibah replied briefly. His answer made Askep and the few Managers who interviewed him laugh. Because such an answer they almost never get especially from a beautiful girl also hijab.
" Well you can get out now, you can wait for news from us one more week. If you are accepted you will definitely receive a job call from us" said one of the managers while standing and extending his hand. But the girl did not welcome him, she just cupped her hands in front of her chest with a slight bow. They were a little surprised by the girl's attitude, but they finally understood that the girl did not shake hands with just any man.
One of Askep who interviewed Habibah was so interested in Habibah's attitude which was very different from girls his age who were happy to seek attention from the opposite sex. But the girl seemed to be closing herself off from it all. Rudy is Askep's name. A handsome man in his thirty-five years who comes from the island of Sumatra is famous for his rather flirtatious nature in girls. Seeing the attitude shown by Habibah he felt there was a challenge before him.
If he's really accepted to work here, I wonder how strong that girl is to stick with her principles. If I can't shake that principle, I'll leave this place. He bet on himself.
While Agus was in a different place with Habibah because Agus applied for his job application for a position as a security. That's why he had to undergo physical and written tests as well as oral interviews as well. More difficult than Habibah, so when Habibah came home, Agus could not go home.
Arriving home, the girl lays herself on her thin bed. His eyes suddenly saw something beside the suitcase on top of his wardrobe. Finally he got up from his bed and grabbed what he saw earlier. Uh, wasn't this a gift from mom and dad the other day, was it? I forgot to open it yet. He thought after remembering that the box in his hand was a birthday present from his employer the other day when he was going home.
Slowly he opened the package of boxes while wondering inwardly, what is it? Once the package is open, a box that depicts a cellphone. Is this really a cell phone or not? Or just the box? Ask curiously. Finally after opening, he was stunned to see the contents inside. Wow, really a cell phone..!! It's in the heart. In addition to the mobile phone in it there is also a starter card that is still sealed with a number that is very easy to remember for him with the end of his birth year.
" I didn't expect the gift of a mobile phone" he murmured slowly. He believes the phone is expensive (to be measured from his ability it is too expensive). He felt that the first person he should contact was his former employer. To say thank you to them. After that, he learned to use the phone through the guide book in the box. Slowly he tried to send a message to his former employer.
" Assalamu'alaykum.." said the man across the street.
" Wa'alaykumussalam warrahmatullah.." said Habibah with pounding. because it was his first experience using a mobile phone with the first call.
" Okay, how are you? Where are you now? Why did you activate your mobile number? mom has tried to call this number many times but has not been active as well. You want a new month to activate, I miss your voice." Meylan immediately leaned in with many questions on Habibah.
" I'm sorry Mom, I just opened my mom and dad's gift this afternoon, and I immediately tried to call mom. I guess my message did not arrive, it turns out that yes ma'am? Sorry ma'am, I'm still learning to use his cell phone." said Habibah plain.
The conversation continued for almost an hour, until Habibah himself did not know what to talk about with his former employer. Who told a lot and asked Meylan, Habibah just chimed in as much as possible.
A week later Agus came back to see him to submit a job call at the Sawit company which last week he went to interview. He really did not expect that he would really be accepted to work there with a position as a Kerani field. Wow, really in the field...! The excitement in his heart was joyful. Without him noticing her lips were smiling widely, and it was clearly seen by Agus.
" What dream did I have last night, can I see you smiling that wide? The result must be as you expected? Otherwise, there's no way we can be that happy, right..?!" agus said with a little teasing.
" You're right, I got accepted to work where I wanted to. KERANI FIELD.." he cried with a little held back even though still with a big smile still adorned his beautiful face in the afternoon.
" Yes, if so I go home first yes, the first day tomorrow you work not to be late huh..?!" the message before finally bringing the bike home.
While Habibah was still looking at the job call with a smile and still a feeling of disbelief with what he received at that time. He kept imagining how his first day of work was tomorrow, whether his boss was good or not, his coworkers and also the environment he worked in. All are in his mind. Well. look tomorrow ajalah, hopefully all is well.. Aami..
