Arriving in the city of Malang, does not immediately make Dhito can immediately move or find work. However, Dhito chose to carry out a private quarantine for 12 days at home. His only activity was meeting with his father and mother. In addition, Dhito chose to be in the room. While his own sister Diva is also often in the room. Especially if you are studying online using zoom. Therefore, Dhito is also more in the room.
Sometimes the young man thought about how to get a job again after now being unemployed. Dhito became a person who felt directly to be a person who lost his job in this pandemic period. As the firstborn, also he did not feel good if lingering idle.
However, on the one hand Dhito is self-conscious if indeed the diploma he has is S1 hospitality, and now almost the opportunity to work in the hotel does not exist. Many hotels choose to close because it is impossible to get a turnover during social distancing. In addition, the operational cost of the hotel was very large, so it was impossible to finance all and staff when no one would stay at the hotel.
"There's no locker info, Va?" ask Dhito to his sister.
Unique way of speaking. Diva was inside the room, while Dhito was standing by the door. Just to speak, keep your distance.
"Many are unemployed, Mas. What job vacancies? Work in a mini market only, Mas," reply Diva.
That is also because near his house will open a mini market. So the Diva says so. At least work first, rather than being unemployed. Although the degree is not comparable to the types of jobs available.
"Out of the office, cook in the mini market anyway, Va," replied Dhito.
"Rather than not working, Mum. Actually not in college, Diva also wants work, but surely Father and Mother want it Diva focus on college only. Moreover, the condition is new like this, definitely can not go out of the house far away," replied Diva.
Dhito nodded his head. He agreed with his Father and Mother, Diva who is still in college is also better off in college first. Don't think about work. My mom and dad are still working. In addition, Dhito himself will also certainly work. Not wanting to be idle for too long.
"Yes, yes .. You go to college first. Quickly pass, let Father and Mother also more loose," replied Dhito.
"Mas Dhito is hard work, he said he wanted to marry Mbak Dhita. So no?" joked Diva to her sister.
Dhito nodded his head. "Yes, definitely, Va. I've been dating for three years too. Been a long time. Already have to think about housing," replied Dhito.
"Yes, that's why it's odd job, Mas. Let me marry Dhita. Later that courtship feels bland, Mas. Especially never met," replied Diva.
Honestly hearing what his sister had just said made Dhito come to mind as well. Indeed, people often say that for a long time dating, it can feel bland. In addition, also the long distance makes the relationship of the two is also vulnerable.
"Yes, already .. the day after I applied to the mini market first, rather than not working," replied Dhito.
After that, Dhito chose to go into his room, then he made a cover letter by writing it directly by hand. In addition, Dhito is also looking for photocopies of his diploma, so that it can be accepted to work. Yes, even though it is not in accordance with the diploma, the important thing is to be able to scavenge Rupiah to help his parents, and save for his desire to propose Ardhita.

Two days later ....
Now Dhito is preparing to apply for a job. As he had applied for a job at the hotel, Dhito was wearing a white shirt and black trousers. Don't forget to wear the black shoes that he used to wear to work in hotels. There is a sense of regret for returning to work at the hotel. Look good, and be in the AC room. However, now all he wants to apply for is a job in a mini market.
"Nobody ever knew about life. The sun always shines, but the twists and turns of human life change drastically. In the past, I was a comfortable worker with a decent salary in Makassar. Who would have thought, I even became unemployed and now apply for a job that is much different from my profession before," said Dhito by tidying up his appearance.
Finally the young man sighed a few times and then put on the mask first. Eventually, Dhito set out to apply for a job.
"Loh, her son is really neat Mom .. Where are you going?" asked Miss Lastri to her son.
"You applied for a job, Mom," she replied.
"Where are you applying for a job, Dhit?" ask Miss Lastri again.
Dhito smiled faintly. Unfortunately, the smile was closed because now he was wearing a mask. "That's in the mini market ahead, ma'am. Want to get into our housing" he replied.
Miss Lastri nodded her head. Even though he was sorry for his son. However, indeed since graduating from college, Dhito was also far-sighted. He wanted to work immediately, and not be a burden on his parents. So too with this moment. Dhito also did not want to linger idle. The longer the unemployed, the more the parents will be burdened.
"Yes, it's already .. it's okay. Take the job first. Getting a new job is also difficult, so well already. I pray that it will be accepted, Nang," he replied.
Sometimes Bu Lastri and Pak Hardi also call his son with the name 'Nang' or 'Children' which means is a boy in Javanese. Parents certainly respect. In fact, if Dhito is not in a hurry to work, it is also okay.
"Pangestunipun nggih, Mom," replied Dhito who asked for his mother's blessing.
"Sure, Nang ... Mom and Dad always give thanks."
After that, Dhito said goodbye to his Mother and Father. Just ride a motorcycle and take an interview in the mini market. Hopefully we can get a job later. Whatever the job is not an important matter. Later, if the earth has improved, Dhito can apply to work in a hotel again.
