Widow Before Marriage
Chapter 8 Applying for Work

Those days of struggle Summer had gone well. Thanks to the help of her cousin, Summer can raise her only son for three years alone. Without a husband standing by her.

Even though Billy was so intensely approaching her, yet he had not been able to open his heart to other men. They also decided to be friends. Because Billy feels very interested in the person of Summer who does not give up easily.

During those three years, Summer only worked to help her cousins in the clothing store, while looking after the young Alka. Moreover, Summer wants to give exclusive breast milk to Alka so that her son has good endurance and has a strong inner bond with his mother.

As of today, Summer was tidying up the clothes the former customer chose, while Alka was playing a block puzzle under the cash register table. The kids love to play puzzles. When he gets bored, Alka will doodle the picture book Summer deliberately prepared for her son.

"Excuse me, Miss Summer! I was looking for a black drill to make pants" said Mr. Juanda, one of Hanna's regulars.

"Eh, Father. Please come over here, sir!" Summer took the father to the east of the shop, which stored various types of cloth. Mr. Juanda followed where Summer took him.

"If it's not wrong, Summer graduated in English literature right?" asked Mr. Juanda who remembered his chat with Hanna at that time.

"Yes, right sir." Summer smiled kindly at the customers of her shop.

"If Ms. Summer is interested, it just so happens that the school where I work is in need of an English teacher. Summer's mother just meet the principal," said Mr. Juanda, continuing to pay attention to the girl who was busy picking up a roll of cloth.

"Well, what a coincidence sir. I am also looking for a suitable job. When can I get there, sir?" Summer's face was seen beaming at the offers from the middle-aged man.

"Tomorrow too, Ma'am!"

"Okay, sir thank you. Oh, how many meters is this?"

"Three meters, Ma'am."

"Good, Sir. Just a minute!" Summer immediately measured the cloth and cut it after getting the desired size.

He went straight to the cashier's table and gave the cloth to Hanna. Because Hanna herself holds the finances of her shop. While its employees serve the buyer and take care of the goods.

After Mr. Juanda left the store, Summer approached her cousin and discussed the offer from Mr. Juanda, because the shop happened to be quiet. So he could talk to Hanna.

"Mother Hanna, is it okay if I teach? Mr. Juanda offered me to work at his school, "summer said, sitting next to Alka.

"Maybe, let Alka be the same Ma'am. The shop has not been crowded lately either" Hanna replied with a look towards Summer who was looking at her expectantly.

"You can't stand that way, ma'am. I'm happy if you want to improve more. Because the job as a shopkeeper, will not make the knowledge you have learned in college will develop. Besides, now Alka has released ASI. You will not cry all day as you used to. Isn't that right, Alka? Play with Mom later! Your mother wants to work."

"Boyeh, Mother of boyeh keja. Biay Aka can beyi baby toys," replied Alka who has not been fluent in pronouncing the letters L and R.

"Smart Mother's child. Thanks Baby!" Summer kissed her son. He felt moved because Alka could always understand his circumstances as long as the boy was given a little understanding.

"We're going home fast today. Ashar is soon too. Ma'am sent a message to Bang Radid to get us here" Hanna said.

"Hoyee got Dad!" Alka cheered in excitement. He was very happy to be taken for a walk by car. Because it has become their habit, every time Radid picks up to the store, they will definitely eat out. Although not eating in a simple restaurant, but togetherness it makes Alka feel happy.

...***...

"Darling, are you beautiful?" ask Summer to Alka.

"Pretty sekayi, miyip bidadayi," praised Alka.

Instead of smiling, she received praise from her son, but Summer was immediately pensive. He was reminded of Rain who always said those words every time he praised him. While Alka became confused seeing her mother becoming speechless.

"Mother why? Aka make me say, huh?" alka asked with a hug to Summer.

"No, Honey. Alka will come with Mom to the store! Mother wants to go to school first, pray Mother yes, dear to be accepted to work there," said Summer by kissing her son's forehead.

"Yes, may you be successful" said Alka, who likes to watch the adults around her speak.

"Aamiinu. Thank you dear." Summer took Alka out of her room. He meets Hanna and Radid who are waiting for him at the dinner table.

"Summer, so you want to apply to Mr Juanda's school?" radid asked as Summer and Alka were already sitting at the dinner table.

"So, Bang. Alka can now be left behind. I'm sorry Ms. Hanna may later Alka will trouble Mbak," said Summer.

"It's okay, Alka's never a hassle. He's an adorable handsome boy. Customers in the store really like to see Alka," Hanna said with a sweet smile.

After talking and finishing his breakfast. Summer leaves for a private school that is quite famous in the area where she borrows Hanna's motorbike, while Hanna and Alka are escorted by Radid to the store. Arriving there, Summer asked the guard first.

"Excuse me, Sir! I want to meet the principal about which side?" ask Summer at the security guard who tagged 'DIKI'.

"I'm sorry, what's the matter, ma'am?" ask Diki, the school security guard.

"I'm going to apply for a job. Yesterday, Mr. Juanda was told to come here and see the principal. He said he needed an English teacher."

"Oh, please park the bike first to the guest motor park yes, Mom. I'll take you to the room later," asked Diki.

"Good, Sir!" sahut Summer's. He also followed what Diki ordered to park his motorbike in a special guest parking lot. Summer sighed deeply before she got off the motor. He continued to convince himself and pray that his efforts get ridho from the divine.

While Diki came to approach Summer who was struggling while removing the helmet. He smiled faintly at the behavior of the new teacher. Especially when Summer said she wanted to meet the principal because he told Mr. Juanda. But Mr. Juanda himself became the principal of his school.
