TRAPPED IN A MARRIAGE
GET DOWN TO WORK
"You I accept work here” said Bu Sandra shoe store owner “Your job is to serve the buyer, tidy up the goods to be neatly arranged on the display shelves, clean the display case, clean the storefront, looking for shoes that consumers want ...”. He explained at length what Ninu had to do from coming to getting home.
The working hours in the store are divided into two shifts. The morning shift starts at 8 to 4 pm, while the day shift starts from 2 to 9 pm. Each shift consists of five employees, three women and two men. For days off alternating every day one person from the morning shift and one person from the afternoon shift starting from Monday to Friday while weekends all employees must enter, no one is off.
For clothing, employees are given two uniforms, maroon red shirt suit with white and blue strip on the sleeve and shop name on the left chest combined with a black span skirt to wear on a regular day, while on the weekend that is Saturday and Sunday employees wear batik shirts and black trousers.
The salary Ninu received every month was 1.5 million, no food or snack. Maybe for others such a small salary but for Ninu it is quite large compared to his income in the village, especially when compared to the weight of work to be done, which must be done, so the shopkeeper is not too draining, just have to be strong to stand.

To increase income, Ninu also worked as a waitress in a cafe. Ninu was recommended to work at the cafe by Ms. Sandra, because the owner of the cafe was Sandra's sister. According to Ms. Sandra Ninu a diligent and hardworking employee.
Working hours at the cafe are replaced by working hours at the store. If in the store he shifts morning, then in the cafe he is in the day shift which starts at 5 to 10 pm while the morning shift starts at 8 to 1 pm. Indeed, the working hours at the cafe are not full because they have to adjust to the working hours at the store, fortunately the cafe owner does not mind because it is considered part-time work.
Every day Ninu left at 7:00 am and returned to his boarding house around 10:30 pm. Tired, but he is enjoying his new world. There are many things he knows and learns. Since Ninu was basically a smart girl then she was very adaptable and understood many things.
Ninu really lived a simple life, he saved as much as possible so as not to spend a lot. Because in the cafe provided a meal once, he only spent money for breakfast alone by buying yellow rice or nasi ubuk. As for transport Ninu prefers to walk when going to work. He only rides ojeg when he comes home because he does not dare to walk at night alone.
Every month he sends money to the village. Ninu had Ima open up savings in the bank so he could transfer every month. According to Ninu it was better not to trouble others.

Let's just take it short, guys….
It didn't feel like Ninu had been working in the city for three years. There are a lot of things he can do, from new friends, new habits, and of course a new life.
Now Ninu looked even more beautiful. The skin is not as brown as it was in the village. Now it's cleaner and fresher. His hands were not as rough as when he was still working to make bricks in lio. He is also more mature and good at speaking words that are friendly and polite, because he is used to facing consumers he also has to be more patient.
In addition, for two years he also continued his education by following package C. Ninu was firm on his desire to become a clever woman.
From his income, Ninu was able to renovate the bathroom of his home in the village. He asked his uncle to make the bathroom in the house so that mother and Ima more easily if you want to shower and so on. He also bought Ima HP to easily communicate considering Ninu rarely went home. For entertainment Ninu also bought a mother and Ima television. Let it not be outdated, said Ninu when the mother asked why to buy tv. Unlike Ima, she was very happy when she found out Ninu bought her a tv. For a long time he wanted to have a tv like his friends.
Now Ima is sitting on the bench of Junior High. She and her mother also helped her sister by selling yellow rice every morning at home. Of course it's from Ninu. Mother said, good enough to add the pocket money Ima. Now she looks healthier too. Perhaps it was because his joyous heart had a positive impact on his health.
Now Ninu could really breathe a sigh of relief. His family life is headed towards a better change. He was determined to send Ima to college. She wanted to see her sister successful and proud of her mother.

Tok tok ….
Ninu blinked his eyes. Who's the one who knocked on the door. There were rarely any guests in his room. Even if Agis wants to visit, he usually tells you first.
It's still morning Ninu murmured.
Tok tok …
“Excuse” voices of women behind the door.
“Yaa... briefly” Ninu said, get up and tidy up her tangled hair.
“Who is it?” he asked as he opened the door, still narrowing his eyes due to the glare with the sunlight that barged in.
“Eh... still sleeping? I'm sorry to interrupt” the woman's voice replied.
“ya okay. There need what tea?” ask Ninu.
“Teh sorry to borrow a broom, can you?” ask the woman.
“Oh. It”
“Thank you yes, later I return” said the woman smiled sweetly.
⚘
“Teh, here's the sap” the woman came back again about an hour later. “Kalatin tea my name Ira” smile is friendly while reaching out “I just moved here last night” he continued.
Oh pantesan last night was very noisy, muttered Ninu, apparently there is a new person at the cost.
“My room was” he pointed to the door of the room opposite the room Ninu.
“Oh yes greetings too. I Ninu” replied Ninu welcoming Ira's hand.
“Whose stay is here?” ask Ira.
“I myself” replied Ninu.
“Sama dong tea, I also myself” Ira grin.
He seems like a nice and cheerful person, the proof is that he always smiles when he talks. Her face is beautiful with a complete makeup polish and plump eyelashes.
What are false eyelashes?, Inner Ninu.
After that, the conversation continued. Ask each other's identity, where they come from, where they work, and so on.
