When I first came to this place, there was a feeling of fear coupled with the thought of guessing, later I have to how, have to do what then think, how heavy the work I will receive. But as soon as I walked through it, everything just seemed to flow. And when the duration of the time was over instead I felt reluctant to leave this place.
On this day it has even been three months, me and my other friends are now sitting in the meeting room of the Kartika hotel for the release of interns. Sad, sad, laugh and happy mixed into one step we will switch back to continue studying to school.
The turn is now my name is called by the Executive House Keeping to receive an internship certificate accompanied by congratulations that I was chosen to be an exemplary apprentice in this period.
Now after the release event we gathered with other employees to convey the gratitude that has guided us during here, and also do not forget we say goodbye to them.
"Lha's crying?" said Mr. Roni pay attention to us, especially the girls who are sad.
"I don't want to go back to school sir, he wants to be here" said Sarah and other seniors now respond with laughter.
Mr. Roni shakes his head. "School was diligent, son. There are also meetings, but the gate in the hotel is always open, if you miss the seniors who work here, you can visit anytime," explained Mr. Roni again.
"Well is good, later still often come here," chirped one of my friends named Hera.
"Yes dong, Ayu will be here because to work," said Sarah in response to Hera's remarks.
"Work, why?" sandy said quickly.
"I'm a partimer at this hotel," I said to Sandy.
"Why did I just find out" said Sandy who looked like a confused person.
I shrugged both of my shoulders in response to Sandy's words. But Sarah quickly said, "Yes because Ayu didn't tell you."
"For a get-together here, let's get overrun!" shouted Mr. Akram who had just emerged from the door, seen in his hand carrying a box of chocolate that was distributed to us apprentices.
"This is special for you" said Mr. Akram to me as he held out a box to me. It is now the center of attention of my friends.
"Come Ayu open, we want to know," said my friends in unison. But there are also those who ask why the gift is only intended for me while others are only given chocolate.
"Let's Ayu quickly opened, we can't wait to see what it contains," said Sarah who now approached and attached to me.
"It's really for me" I asked still unsure, even though the gift box had moved into my hand.
"Yes for you, the gift from us seniors as a memento has become an exemplary apprentice in this period," explained Mr. Akram and in fact made some of my other friends disappointed. Because when they work in doing each task is not done as much as possible. Because they think this is just an exercise, but actually every thing we do with our heart is also sincere, the results will come back to ourselves.
I also now open the gift box in my hand and the contents are a pair of black fantofel shoes with medium size high heels.
"Now tried, if not fit can be exchanged to the store before 24 hours," said Mr. Roni with a joke.
I also happily began to try my new shoes, in fact the size is very fitting for my feet. Actually, my own shoes are already worth replacing, but I think because it is still dear and can still be worn I have no intention to buy it, I think, but is it possible because my seniors pay attention to my appearance so the gift they buy is definitely useful to support my appearance. Ah, I feel ashamed, if they think I can't afford shoes.
"Have you come home straight away?" said Mr. Akram disperse my daydream. In fact, my other friends have partly fled.
I myself now think, confused to answer Mr. Akram's speech because there is no agenda at this hotel, all internship assignments are completed and partime tasks do not exist, he said, because I'm the one who never answered now Mr. Akram again said, "After work if you don't have an event can accompany me?"
"Where's Sir?" I doubt a little.
I thoughtlessly mentioned my mobile number now. "085123987654" I said.
"Ok, I'll call you after my work hours are over. Congratulations on being an exemplary child," said Mr. Akram while scrambling the top of my head and then passed away.
"Cie's on a date!" said Sarah while nudging my arm and of course after Mr. Akram was not seen again.
"What hell! Yuk's home!" I said and slipped my hand around Sarah's arm to invite her out of the place.
"By the way to be invited on a date where is Mr Akram?" ask Sarah when we get to the parking lot.
I put my shoulder around and said, "I don't know. Uh but—." My words now hang the sentence and it also makes Sarah turn her face to look at me.
"Why?"
I sighed and began to say in a lethargic tone. "So Mr. Akram asked for my mobile number..."
"Then?" sarah's quick.
"But the only obstacle was that a few days ago my phone died."
"Why is that?"
I'm shaking. "It's probably time to change" I said. "And what if today I ask you for help" I said expectantly to Sarah.
"Solicit what please? fix your dead phone?" saith.
"So, even if it's used, it's not possible in a day."
"Then?"
"Buy a new phone" my great-grandson.
"You sure?"
I nodded too. I think it's best anyway how can I be contacted by Mr. Akram if my phone just dies. While I am also no longer in this hotel, automatically my time to meet Mr. Akram less and less, and again only in this way we can still communicate, my mind.
"Well, I'll take you with me" said Sarah, who walked up to her bike.
"But take me home first yes to take the money," I said.
"Ok, boss!" sarah responded.
We also started to leave the hotel area and the motor began to drive through the streets with fairly hot weather, because the time was almost showing at twelve noon. In my heart, I hope that what I do is the right step so that I can get closer to Mr. Akram.
