The Poor Girl's
I Want to go to Jakarta
Elin confirmed the word Ica. He had always thought the same as what Ica said, especially to get a High School diploma is not easy for him. Many struggles that he went through when going to enter High School first. Even so he couldn't whistle hard to work because the parents didn't approve of him.
Currently Elin is eager to register with the company mentioned Ica, especially hearing Ica's narration about the large salary that will be obtained if working there.
"I'm interested but I'm not sure I can sign up. Working here alone is very difficult to get my parents permission what else if working in the capital. That's not possible." Answer Elin weakly
"You talk to your parents first, maybe hear a good job and a big paycheck, they'll let you." Ica's advice to Elin.
Elin nodded and continued to eat as well as Ica. They ate in silence, after eating out each meatball, Ica again voiced.
"How many cell phone numbers are you?" Ica asked as she reached into her bag and took her cell phone inside.
Elin mentions her mobile number which is then recorded Ica and save it in the contacts on her phone and then make a call. Elin's phone sounded indicating an incoming call.
"That's my phone number, you call me if you have a decision. You have only three days to make a decision, because in 3 days I will leave. The application should be in the week. We don't have much time, don't think too long?" Ica Clear.
"We'll leave together if you apply for a job there. So your parents don't have to worry because you're not alone." Reciprocity.
"alright. I'll talk to my parents first, I'll let you know as soon as I can Elin replied
Elin and Ica went home. Elin undoes the intention of finding a job in the market, he wants to convey his desire to his parents. Arriving at the house Elin entered the room sitting on the edge of the bed thinking of an offer from Ica. He could already guess what he would get if he talked about his wishes, certainly the rejection he got.
Elin pondered over the path so she could get permission. There was a desire to ask the opinion of sister Nita about this. Elin grabs the phone looking for Nita's contact and makes a call.
"Hallo, assalamu'alaikum." I heard Nita's voice from across the street.
"Wa'alaikumsalam sis." Answer Elin
"What's up, deck?" ask sister Nita.
Brother Nita who is still on his way to feel anxious because he has not long departed already got a call from Si sister. She was afraid that something bad would happen to her parents because of her disappearance.
"Where have you been?" ask Elin
"Say what's going on Elin?" nita sounded panicked.
"Nobody I want to talk about." Elin said a little doubtfully
"Quick say," Nita's voice grew slightly impatient to find Elin rambling.
"I want to go to Jakarta." Finally the word that came out after a long time Elin thought would start a conversation like what.
"Well, what do you mean?" Nita was surprised to hear Elin's words.
Elin shrieked to find her brother's reaction, she felt her brother would behave the same as his parents, would hinder his desire. He hesitated to continue his words. Elin silently petted her will she convey her wish or not.
"Elin!" nita shouted across the street, sounding impatiently waiting.
Elin regained her senses, she ventured to continue her words.
"I want to work, brother. I have a High School diploma unfortunately if not utilized to apply for a job. I have information about PT. Indoraya in Jakarta is opening a massive job vacancy, I want to apply there Kak. My friend told me and he also invited me to go with him if I were to go to Jakarta." Clearly Elin explained with reasons that might be accepted by her brother.
Nita breathed a sigh of relief after finding out that what she was worried about was not true.
"You scared me, I thought something happened to my mom or brother so you called." Said Nita
"Sorry, Elin spoke at the wrong time. Elin had only 3 days to decide, as three more days Elin's friend was leaving. And the time to enter the application is also a week away." Bright Elin
"Why so sudden? just now at home you didn't discuss this, why was it that when brother left you just talked? if you had told brother earlier, we could have left together." Nita said a little bit.
"Elin also just got the info earlier, when Elin went to the market after the departure of her brother intends to find work there. Elin met Elin's friend there and she gave this information." Elin spoke softly so that Nita would understand.
"Don't you agree if I go to Jakarta to apply for a job?" ask Elin carefully.
"You really mean what you say? if true, my brother agrees. The company was the same place where Kak Danu worked. You're right, that company is indeed opening a job opening." Nita said
"This is your chance to show your mom and dad that your diploma is useful. Remember Lin, you are difficult to get a High School diploma so therefore you have to go to PT. This Indoraya is so that my mother and brother are proud." Nita's words raised Elin's spirit.
"Elin wasn't sure if mom and dad would allow it, you know for yourself how they've been against Elin all along." Elin's speech is weak
"All decisions are in your hands. Regardless of mother or brother not allowing, you must stick to your determination. It's Elin's good chance, not necessarily another chance after this. You have to choose your own path for your future, do you want to be the same fate as our parents?"
"We can only change our lives. If you stick to your mother's and brother's wishes, your life will not change. Look at this year, is there a change with your finances or business? there isn't, is there? then what do you expect to continue to survive under similar circumstances?" press Nita
"If you work, you have your own income, you can be independent no longer depend on your mother and brother. Not only that, you can also help your finances later after you earn, can't it improve the condition of our parents? That'll change things, Elin!" Nita gave an explanation opening up Elin's mind.
"It's important that your life won't be this way, your future will be better. You can save for your future." Connect Nita.
