Joya is grateful that she still has some money so she can buy groceries. Joya struggled with the ingredients in her hand. This morning, Joya bought groceries from a vegetable seller who passed in front of her house. He also bought several kilograms of rice to him.
After finishing cooking, Joya set the dishes on the dining table. Even though the house he is in is an old house, fortunately the things in this house are complete.
Starting from cooking utensils, cutlery and even gardening tools, everything is available. And oddly enough, all of the tools were clean and usable, as if someone was always taking care of them.
Check!!
Joya glanced at her husband who had just left the room. Her face looks fresh with wet hair and the smell of body wash perfume from her body.
"You cook? Where do you get groceries?" asked Irwan while staring in surprise at the food on the table.
"Earlier there happened to be a vegetable vendor passing by, so I bought side dishes and rice," answered Joya.
Irwan frowned, "Do you have money?"
"There are two hundred thousand. And now there are one hundred and fifty thousand remaining," answered Joya.
"Just save the rest. I can't give you money yet, so you save your money," said Irwan. "For groceries, let me just buy it," he continued.
Joya was about to argue, but the man interrupted her first. "I will find work to meet our needs," he said.
" Okay! Now let's eat!" invite Joy.
Irwan pulled a chair beside Joya and sat on it. Joya also sat down and beat the rice for her husband.
"Do you want the vegetables to be separated or not?" asked Joy.
Instead of answering, Irwan looked closely at his wife's face. There were a few wrinkles on his forehead.
"Do you want to be separated or not?" asked Joy again.
"Just put it together," Irwan answered quickly. Joya scooped up the vegetables, then poured them over the rice. Then Joya put the plate in front of her husband.
Thank you," Irwan said in a low voice.
Irwan stared at the food in front of him. Meals with simple side dishes, only soup vegetables and tempeh.
Joya knit her eyebrows seeing Irwan who was just staring at his food. " Why? Don't you like the side dishes?" asked Joy. Earlier he only bought ingredients for soup and tempeh because that's all that was left.
Irwin shook his head. " Not. That's not it, I'm waiting for the rice to cool first," he replied while removing the rice on his plate.
" Oh!" said Joya, then started to enjoy her breakfast. One thing that Joya has to remember, Irwan doesn't like hot food. Joya smiled as she watched her husband eat heartily. Last night, Joya and Irwan didn't have time to eat dinner, so it's only natural that they were hungry this morning.
After breakfast, Joya tidied up the food and covered it with a rice hood. "Has anyone lived here before?" asked Joy.
" Nothing, but Alex always sends people to clean this place. Grandpa told me to keep this house clean," said Irwan.
"Oh, I see! No wonder all the things here are well maintained," said Joya while nodding her head. "Oh yeah, I want to find a job. Today I will be going around sending cover letters. Can I?"
Irwan was silent, for a moment his jaw hardened, but a second later his face was straight again.
" Up to you! Because I can't give you any money yet," he replied. " No problem. I just want to help meet our household needs," said Joya.
Actually, Joya wasn't sure that Irwan could get the money. Because all this time, he had depended on Windy for his life. But, Joya will try to trust her husband. At least Irwan already intends to find a job.
Joya took a step with her heavy feet. Several companies have visited Joya, but no one has yet accepted them. Joya was even kicked out by the security guard, because he was considered to be disturbing the order. In fact, Joya only wanted to ask about job vacancies.
Tired, Joya decided to rest under a roadside tree. Joya flicked the folder she was holding, hoping that her tiredness would dissipate a bit. The hotter the weather, the more dry his throat felt. Joya wants to buy a drink, but the money she has is barely enough.
Joya looked sadly at the blue money in her hand. Because they have to print job applications, Joya's money runs out and only fifty thousand is left." I have to save money, this is the only money I have," he muttered.
Joya rose from her seat. The goal this time is to go to Lung Corp, the largest property company in Asia. Joya was actually hesitant to apply for a job there, but there's no harm in trying.
When he arrived in front of the company, Joya was stunned to see the tall building in front of him. Joya's guts are shrinking seeing how big the company is." Would a company this big accept me? It's a miracle that I was accepted here," muttered Joya. With hesitation, Joya walked into the company. You can see the company security guard looking at Joya with a probing look.
"I want to apply for a job, sir. Where should I go?" asked Joya to the security guard in front of her.
The security guard looked at Joya from head to toe. "Are you sure you want to apply for a job here?" asked the security guard with a scornful look.
Joya nodded. "Yes..who knows there are vacancies that I can fill. It's okay even if you have to be a cleaning service too," answered Joya politely.
" Oh! Want to be a cleaning service. I thought you wanted to apply to be a secretary," said the security guard with amused breath.
Joya pulled her lips upwards, trying to smile. He realized that his appearance was a little shabby because the clothes he was wearing were dull. Therefore, earlier, Joya was kicked out by the security guard because he was thought to be asking for donations.
"So, where should I go sir?" asked Joy again.
"You report to the receptionist first, later he will direct you," he replied.
"Okay sir, thank you!" Joya lowered her head, then entered the lobby. Joya's body felt fresh when the cold air conditioner touched her skin. The thirst has lessened a bit. Joey walked towards the reception desk. He saw two beautiful women standing and smiling at him.
Joya got another scornful look when she conveyed the purpose of her arrival. "Please, Miss, go straight to the HRD department on the 4th floor. Incidentally, they are holding an interview," explained one of the beautiful women, pointing to the elevator which was not far from where Joya was standing.
Feeling uncomfortable with the two women's gazes, Joya immediately left and walked towards the front of the elevator. There are three elevator doors in front of Joya. One door reads 'Executive' and the other two doors read 'employees'. Joya stood in the middle of the elevator door for employees. He will get into the elevator that arrived first
Ting!
There was the sound of the elevator stopping, followed by the sound of the door opening. Joya ignores the elevator. Because the elevator is specifically for company executives only.
"Miss, are you not coming in? We are in a hurry," said one man.
Joya turned. He was flabbergasted when he saw the man in the lift." Irwan," muttered Joya.
