Say Hello
SH 23'S
From a distance, Dayyan saw Chan walking towards them while surrounded by some people who turned out to be SUN fans.
“That's Brother Chan..”
Dayyan's words made Lea, Chayra, and her mother turn at the same time.
Chayra's smile expands to see her brother getting closer, “I already know that brother must come”
“You can make a furore if this is” said the middle-aged woman while smiling at her child fans.
Chan slightly bowed, then whispered to his mother, “I didn't know it would be this big either. When I got here, I was secretly”
“Hei... Why are you pouting? I'm already here, right?” Chan asked Chayra.
“Everyone wants to take pictures with brother, even though I should be the main star”
Chan laughed at his sister's complaint. He embraced his only puppet sister, saying, “Come photos, I don't have much time”
Chan, Chayra, and her mother took pictures together. Not to forget, Chayra also invited Lea and Dayyan to participate. After taking some photos, Chayra's mother, unaware of the cold war between her eldest son and Lea, asks the two for a photo together. Lea wanted to refuse because Chan did not greet him at all, but when he wanted to avoid, Chan actually pulled Lea's hand and finally they took a photo together.
Chan fans were getting crowded, so the man rushed to leave his sister's graduation location so as not to make a scene.
Lea stared at Chan's increasingly distant back as she muttered, ‘It turns out, it was me who was too hopeful. Where could he have come to apologize, say no. Alright, I will also prove if his words are not true at all. I'll be successful with my own path’
.
.
Lea and Dayyan return home after graduation. A notification from her dress made Lea smile enthusiastically, but at once her smile faded.
“What's up?” Ask Dayyan.
Lea shook her head, “I think mom or dad sent me a message”.
Dayyan sighed, “Don't expect anything from them, even if it's just the words” said, then sauntered towards the room, leaving Lea still sitting in the living room.
Lea understood Dayyan's attitude, her sister's disappointment in both parents is still attached to this day. However, Lea always ber’a so that Dayyan will accept the fate that has happened. The family will never return as intact as before, but at least they can live without hating each other.
Recalling something, Lea immediately checked the device lying on the table. A message from the Sun.
The sun :
“Congratulations on his graduation. You must be the best graduate”
Tara :'s :
“Thank you, how did you know?”
The sun :
“You will be smart and diligent in learning. Your efforts will not be in vain, in the future also must be so”
Tara :'s :
“Thank you for believing so much and supporting me 😊”
The sun :
“I will always be in the forefront for you, so.. take a look at me”.
Tara :'s :
“What does it mean?”
The sun :
‘And whoever speaks like this is Mr. Chan, I definitely.’ Realizing with what was being said, Lea directly hit her forehead furiously.
‘How can I equate a good person like the Sun with a bad person, I must have been so tired that it bounces like this’ Mumbled Lea.
***The next day***
A woman is preparing to find a job. Neat appearance, a smile that expands, and a spirit that seems endless. First, Lea will submit a proposal to a large company, then a medium-sized company, to a startup or start-up.
Lea rested in a cafe after almost a day around, not only applying directly but he also submitted applications through various media.
‘Today there are twenty companies that I have visited, and fifteen companies that I have sent applications to by email. Before my savings ran out, I should've gotten a job. Dayyan's tuition must also be paid. The spirit of Lea’ said Lea to encourage yourself.
“Happy Enjoy” Said a waitress while putting Lea's order on the table.
Lea smiled kindly, “Thank you”.
The waiter said goodbye and passed from where Leah was sitting.
While trying to enjoy the food, an unknown person approached Lea and asked permission to sit together because the cafe was already filled with other visitors.
“Sorry, I made you uncomfortable” said the foreign woman.
Lea shook her head, “It's okay. Anyway, I'm also alone”
The woman smiled kindly. Looking at the brown envelope on the table, the woman spoke again, “Are you also looking for work?”
“Iya” Reply Lea while nodding her head.
“Hah... now it is very difficult to find work without relationships. I graduated from university five months ago, but still haven't got a job. In fact, my grade was quite high at graduation. My friend who when college and graduated with ordinary grades, has become an employee at a large company. He could easily get a job because of help from his parents” Light the woman with lethargy.
“Life is sometimes unfair, but we must not give up. I believe that there are still companies that are looking for employees in a pure” way, Lea said confidently.
The woman sighed deeply, “When I graduated, I also have great confidence and passion like you. But now I'm sober and starting to get saturated with circumstances. People who do not try hard do not even try at all can get something easily, while we are half-dead trying to still be in the starting line” He said.
“Among the many deceitful men on this earth, I believe there is still a speck of honesty. Hopefully when we meet again, we will be successful. I'm sorry” said Lea, then moved from her seat and left the foreign woman.
Along the way, Lea kept thinking about the words of the foreign woman. What she said was exactly what Chan said. Suddenly, worry appeared in his heart. He is afraid that he will not get a job, while his life must continue.
‘Akh.. again I thought of the words of the person I didn't even know’ Monologue Lea while walking down the road to the bus stop.
The bus came after ten minutes of Lea waiting. Since the bus was full of passengers, Lea had to stand. Faintly, Lea overhears the conversation of two middle-aged mothers about their son who is looking for a job.
Apparently, the two mothers had the same complaint about their son being rejected many times by the company. In fact, the son of one of the middle-aged women had already paid a sum of money to be able to work, but until now his son was still unemployed.
After quite a long time complaining to each other, the two middle-aged women got off at the stop. Lea breathed a sigh of relief from no longer hearing things that could stress her out.
‘Luckily they've come down, I can't sleep all night thinking about what people are saying today. Everyone has their own destiny, even though the woman in the cafe and the second son of the mother had experienced a road that is not easy when looking for work, but not necessarily me too. Although there will be difficulties, but I am sure I can get through it’ said Lea full of optimism.
