The Tarnished Hijab
46
In the morning, a girl was getting ready to leave. Her plan today is that she will apply for a job whether she will get it or not because she is only a graduate of Junior High School.
Suddenly his heart ached a little when he remembered that he was still a high school student, he should now be in the classroom to learn but what is happening now is the opposite.
"If I wasn't pregnant maybe now I'm still in school".he muttered in his heart while taking a deep breath and exhaled slowly and then he immediately shook his head
" What I just said. I must not complain, I must be eager to find a job for myself and my baby-to-be ".
" I have to get ready right away".he said as he prepared to go find work.
The girl came out of her contract but when she closed the door she was with someone
"Good morning".the sauce is friendly.
" Morning".reply with a smile.
"You want to go to Ana's work? he asked when he saw the girl was already wearing a work suit.
The girl just fell silent and made the person who was right in front of her go awry.
" I'm sorry if my question offends you".he said in a slightly guilty tone.
"It's okay Mba. I'm not working yet so I'm still looking for work".
" Oh that's it."
The girl was silent and the girl immediately said
"Ana, come with me just so happens to be the restaurant where I work again open job vacancies anyone knows you can be accepted".
The girl's face became bright
" Certainly Mba?
"Yes.Yesterday I saw there.But the restaurant where I work far from here ya twice ride the angkot".
" It's okay Mba I want".he said passion.
"Yes already then you come with me, we take an online taxi pay the joint how?
" okay".
"Then we leave now afraid it will be jammed".
The girl nodded and the two walked out of the rented area down the small road until they were both in front of the highway where their online taxi was waiting.
" That's the cab" Wita said, pointing at a black Avansa not far from their position.
Then both of them got into the car and the car moved away from the place.
Nearly an hour away, the car stopped in front of a restaurant.
"At hand. Come down".say Wita after he finished paying the fare.
Beana complied and now both of them were standing in front of the entrance of the Resto.
"Let's go in Ana".he said and again the girl followed him.
Arriving inside Resto Ana saw the state of Resto was still a little quiet maybe because the Resto had not opened yet.
" An-you sit here first, I want to go to Miss Santi's room to ask about the job vacancy for you".he said, telling the girl to sit on the chair.
"Yes Mba".
" Okay, I'm going away for a little while" he said, and the girl nodded her head in a yes sign.
Almost twenty minutes the girl was patiently waiting for the woman until soon the woman who was waiting for her finally came to her with a big smile on her lips.
"old huh?
" Yes".
"I'm sorry I was waiting for Miss Santi first".
" Yes Mba is okay".
"Let me take you to his room".
" Good".beana said as she stood up and walked in the steps of the woman from behind.
And now the two of them in front of a room that says Manager.Wita knocked on the door
Tok.
(the sound of the door being knocked from the outside)
"Get in".heard someone's voice from inside the room.
Chequelek
(the door is open)
The two rushed in and closed the door again.Beana saw a woman sitting in her big chair while her eyes were busy with a laptop on her desk.
"Mom".call Wita and the woman looks at the two.
"Yes Ma'am".answanted Wita.
Beana was still standing speechlessly waiting for her turn to start talking.
The woman named Santi scanned the appearance of the girl in front of him.
The girl wears a black long skirt, a long-sleeved white shirt and a black hijab and mixes with the sketch shoes. What a girl in front of him like she was still a high school student.
"We leave us both".
" Good Mom. Excuse me".said him as he turned to get out of the room.
The woman smiled
"Please sit down".he ordered and the girl complied. Now he was sitting in a chair facing the woman who was separated by a table.
" You want to seriously work here?
"I'm serious Mom. I really need a job"
"But the vacancy left as just a dishwasher do you want?
" I want Mom. I only have an SMP diploma".
The woman was silent for a moment and she said again
"May I see your cv?
" May Ma'am". said Beana while giving a brown envelope containing cv to apply for a job.
The woman opened it
"Your name is Beana Hermawan?
" Yes Ma'am".
When he saw the year of his birth, suddenly the adult woman saw him
"You're only 16 years old?
" Yes, Mom, I'm only 16 years old".
"Aren't you at that age supposed to be in school?
"Yes".
" Why don't you go to school?
"There's one very personal thing I can't tell you because it's so very, very personal."
"I'm sorry if my attitude is a little outrageous but I as the person in charge at this Restaurant I just want to make sure that everything is okay".
" It's okay Mom I understand. Maybe everything I did for the welfare of all the workers.
"Mom am I accepted to work here?
"Yes.Your working hours start from eight to four in the afternoon. Youunderstand?
"Yes Mom, thank you I will work hard".
" Well, work is diligent and do not let everything you wash break, do you understand?
"Yes ma'am, I'll be careful in washing her dirty dishes".
" You can go to work today".
The girl's face was suddenly cheerful when she heard the woman instantly accept it without any frills.
"But Ma'am there's one thing I want to say to Mom".
The woman frowned and then she said
" What about?
"I am now pregnant, Ma". she said and made the woman surprised and she just kept quiet.
" I'm sorry Mom.I just want you to know, that's all I want to say and if you don't want a job here I'd be happy to accept it ".
" I'm happy with your honesty just now.So my decision has been unanimous, you are accepted to work here. Happy working ".
" Thank you Mom".
"Together".
" I'm sorry to ask Mom".
"Yes".
The girl left while her lips kept smiling.
" Alhamdulillah, "he said, rubbing his stomach
