I stepped towards the hospital parking lot, actually I felt sorry for having to leave my father at the hospital with my two older brothers. Hopefully they have really changed, and love Dad more. I'm actually confused about where I should get that much money, but for the sake of Dad's recovery I will try.
Because my mind was empty and there was no other choice because if I had to borrow that much money from Mrs. Tari, I would feel bad. That woman has contributed a lot to my life and my family.
Finally, the public transportation I was waiting for stopped right in front of me, then I got into the public transportation and sat in the front seat so I could find the address I was looking for.
"Where are you going?" asked the driver who was driving me.
"Go to Evacuation Road, Sir, get off at Agency Kartika." I answered without looking at his face.
The driver seemed to notice me and smiled.
"What are you going to apply for there? to be an office girl?" asked the driver glancing at me briefly.
I just nodded because I didn't want to talk to the driver for too long.
After taking a few minutes, I finally arrived at the Kartika agency building that Mr. Dodi Darwis referred to.
I opened the business card in my wallet and matched the building with the photo of the building on the business card in his hand.
"Stop sir, I'll just get off here." I said to the public transportation driver who was driving his vehicle at medium speed.
The driver stopped his vehicle at the side of the road, and I gave the driver ten thousand rupiah.
I slowly opened the transportation door, and immediately the public transportation car left me standing still in front of the Agency building.
"Wow, what a big building," I said, amazed by the majesty of the building that stood towering in front of me.
I walked slowly while paying attention to my surroundings, there were lots of people who were going to enter the building and the appearance was very glamorous.
"Good afternoon, how can I help you." said the security guard smiling as he opened the door for me.
"Sorry sir, I want to meet Mr Dodi Darwis. He invited me to come today." I said by giving a business card to the security guard.
The security guard accepted the business card I gave him while frowning in surprise, I don't know what was on his mind.
"If I may ask, where did you get this business card, Miss? Because it wasn't just anyone who got her business card." Asked the security guard, which made me even more surprised.
"I got this business card from the person directly, sir. I met Mr. Dodi when I was in the park." I answered honestly, because the security guard looked at me in disbelief.
The security guard seemed to think for a moment, and he left me to go to the reception desk and I saw he was calling someone.
The security guard immediately shuddered and immediately hung up the phone and ran towards me. I myself felt confused by the security guard's behavior.
"Okay, please sit down first, Ma'am. I've told the assistant and he happens to be having a meeting with a client. He also told Miss to wait a moment." said the security guard as he stepped into the lobby and invited me to sit in the available guest chair.
"Thank you very much sir. Sorry, who exactly is Mr Dodi Darwis? Is it true that he employs models?" I asked the security guard innocently.
The security guard smiled briefly at me and answered softly.
"Sorry, Miss. It's true that Mr. Dodi employs models here, but he is the owner of this agency"If he has appointed someone to come, usually he really wants you to become a professional model here." The security guard answered, looking at me with an appraising look. When I was stared at like that, I felt uncomfortable and immediately stood up.
"Sir, please watch your eyesI am indeed a poor person but your gaze makes me uncomfortable. "I said, giving a warning to the security guard.
"EE... Yes, sorry Sis. Well, I'll stay for now. "Once again I'm sorry but I'm just making sure what's special is on her until she's selected for the Fashion Show in New York next month," said the security guard awkwardly and feeling guilty.
What did he say? New York? What's more, I just want to get a job here, either as a waiter or an office girl, not as a model. Moreover, it was chosen for the Fashion Show in New York. Everything seemed absurd to me, but I tried to dismiss it as perhaps the security guard was just joking.
"Oh yes, what was your name, let me convey it to Mr Dodi through his assistant." The security guard said, turning towards me.
"My name is Yuni." My answer was short, I felt annoyed with this security guard because he had underestimated me. If it weren't for needing money for Dad, I would have run away from this place.
The security guard stepped away from me and returned to standing where he first opened the door for me, I just shook my head slowly. Suddenly I was shocked and remembered that I had not asked Mrs. Tari for permission not to come to work because my father was hospitalized. Actually, I didn't pay attention to Mr. Dodi's offer and just thought it was a passing thing. However, because my father needed money for hospital fees, I was finally forced to come here to accept Mr. Dodi's offer.
I took my device out of my shirt pocket and looked for Mrs. Tari's contact name. After I found Mrs. Tari's name, I immediately contacted her because I was afraid that she would be disappointed with me if I ignored her.
After waiting for a while, the call was finally answered by the owner of the number.
"Hello, how may I help you?" Mrs. Tari asked without looking at the number of the person calling her because her other hand was busy with her laptop.
"Assalamualaikum Mrs. Tari, I'm Yuni." I answered in a frightened tone, I didn't want to make him think badly of me.
"Walaikumsalam, O Allah. I was wondering who was calling, because I didn't see the name on the front of the screen," said Mrs. Tari while shouting.
"Mother, sorry I didn't come to work at the shop today and maybe I didn't go to work at your house either." I said in a trembling voice.
"What's wrong Yun, why aren't you leaving today?" Mrs. Tari asked again, she asked in a probing voice. I feel bad because I skipped class today.
"My father was in the hospital, ma'am. This morning when I was about to leave for work and said goodbye. Dad's condition is very serious so I can't go to work today," I answered with tears in my eyes, every time I remember Dad's condition I feel like a useless child.
"Astagfirullahaldzim... now how is your father's conditionIf you have to look after Dad, it's better if you just let him, it doesn't matter how many days. "Because it must be a hassle for you to look after Dad and have to work," said Mrs. Tari wisely.
"Father is being treated, and his condition is very downI am very grateful to my mother who willingly allowed me to take care of my father. "I said in a hoarse voice, I am very grateful to God who has brought me together with Mrs. Tari, who I consider like my own mother.
"Yes, you're welcome Yun. "Then you now have to be patient and strong, taking care of your parents is your reward," said Mrs. Tari as she ended the cellphone call.
I actually couldn't bear to leave the shop where I first worked if I was asked to work here permanently. but still, for the sake of the money I have to collect for Dad and treat his illness, I have to choose.
I exhaled several times, not to mention I had to meet Erin, who knows what condition my friend is in, I hope Erin is fine.
I looked around this building, the atmosphere was so calm and not noisy like the shop where I worked. At the lobby table where I sat there were snacks and various snacks that visitors to this building could eat for free, and for drinks there were cups and various types of drinks available with a drink dispenser.
"This building is really nice. Moreover, it's very cold and clean here, I will definitely feel at home working here." I said while looking at a group of workers who were cleaning and mopping the floor which already looked clean to me.
I don't know how long I've been waiting for Mr. Dodi Darwis to arrive, but he hasn't arrived yet, I already look bored. However, to go back to the hospital I had to bring the money, so I decided against it and decided to keep waiting for Mr Dodi.
I saw a man who met me a few days ago walking towards me, he smiled broadly at me with wide strides. I only glanced at it, because I felt embarrassed that there were many women who had just gotten out of the elevator with him.
"Hi, we meet again Yun." Mr. Dodi said, looking different from before, he was now wearing an expensive suit and a sparkling shirt.
I also looked awkward because Mr Dodi's appearance, which seemed luxurious and classy, was very different from me who was dressed like a maid.
Mr. Dodi seemed to notice my appearance, and he seemed to shake his head while shrugging his shoulders. I looked confused as to whether I didn't deserve to be here.
"Sorry sir, am I inappropriate to come here?" I said while looking at my own appearance.
"It's okay, later I'll buy you expensive clothes like the receptionist there." said Mr. Dodi while pointing at a beautiful woman dressed in a shirt and knee-high skirt. Her appearance was truly beautiful and would amaze anyone. I feel like I'm nothing compared to that woman.
"Don't be insecure, you are actually beautiful. It's just that you rarely take care of your appearance." Pak Dodi defended him as he sat on the sofa right in front of me.
I sat back on the sofa in front of me.
"So what, do I look like a fraud?" asked Mr Dodi with a funny look.
I felt embarrassed because I had accused him and thought wrong things about him, I just kept quiet and looked down, not daring to answer Mr. Dodi's question.
"Okay, so do you agree to my offer yesterday?" Mr. Dodi continued asking me while smoking his cigar and exhaling the smoke.
"Yes sir, after I thought about it, there's no harm in trying." I answered firmly, because I needed a large amount of money.
"Okay, but what do I need to knowWhy did you change your mind? because yesterday you doubted me?" asked Mr. Dodi, looking sharply at me. When I was stared at like that, I could only bow my head, should I tell the truth now or later.
"Just say it, I won't be angry." Mr Dodi continued with a smile.
"Actually, I needed money for my father's hospital fees. So I decided to work with Mr. Dodi." I answered while looking at Mr. Dodi's face, who was shocked after hearing my answer.
"So you came here because you needed money?" asked Mr Dodi with a short smile.
I could only nod without being able to say anything. Because this is the first time in my life asking a stranger for a loan.
"Okay, I will give you fifty million but you have to quit your previous job, because I want you to focus on your work at my place." Mr Dodi said with a very serious face.
I took a deep breath, actually I didn't want this, but because I had to dare to decide for my father's good, I finally nodded in front of Mr. Dodi.
"Okay, I will transfer fifty million after you have been given instructions by my assistant about your work tomorrow, and the rules in my company on how to dress." Said Mr Dodi looking at me with disgust.
"I don't want you to look country like that, because soon I will make your song a professional model." Mr. Dodi said as he called his assistant and he asked for my account number and not long afterward he showed proof of the transfer on my account number.
I've only ever seen that much money in my account in my entire life. Thank God... I prostrated myself on the floor with gratitude and suddenly Mr. Dodi screamed.
"Don't overdo it, immediately go to my assistant and sign the contract and read it carefullyI have to take care of other things, excuse me. Mr. Dodi said as he left me frozen. God's help was truly unexpected.
