My babysitter Maduku
Chapter 45

"Arini, where are you going?" hendra asked Arini who was walking at a fast pace out of his yard.

Arini stopped her steps and then approached Hendra who was now standing in front of the fence of his house. "Actually I want to make a job application letter, Mas. I want to find a job, but ...." Arini stopped her speech and her face looked sad.

"Why, Arini?" Dodi stared fixedly at Arini's face that looked tangled.

"Actually I doubt I can get a job if I only graduate Junior High School. Who wants to accept a Junior High like me, Mas?" lirih Arini's.

Hendra was silent for a moment. What Arini said is true. Nowadays, let alone Junior High School graduates, High School graduates are very difficult to get a job.

"Ehm, I'm sorry, Arini. If I may know, what kind of job do you really want to find?" asked Hendra carefully, he did not want Arini to be offended by his question.

"Anything! The important thing is to work, as long as it is halal and yielding" Arini replied with confidence.

"If you work in the school cafeteria, would you? You see, I heard, they need one more person to help them there" Hendra said.

"Mas, seriously?" asked Arini enthusiastically.

"Yes, I'm serious" replied Hendra.

"Yes, Mas. I want!"

"alright. Today I will ask, hopefully there is still your fortune there," said Hendra later.

"Amen!" sahut Arini's. "Ehm, Mas Hendra, can I ride ahead?"

"Of course, why not. Coincidentally I also want to leave," said Hendra with a crisp face.

The man rushed into his car and pulled the car out of the yard. He opens the car door and invites Arini to enter.

"Come, Arini. Let me anterin you ahead" said Hendra with a warm smile.

Arini immediately went in and sat down next to Hendra who was now driving his car. Unbeknownst to them, it turns out Dodi showed the togetherness of Arini and Hendra just now. The man was really upset, but unfortunately he could not do anything for now.

Meanwhile in the car.

Several times Hendra glanced at Arini with a warm smile. While the woman remains focused on the front direction.

"Arini, how's your wound?" ask Hendra.

"It's a little bit quiet. Yeah, well, at least I don't feel the pain anymore." Arini was silent for a moment while taking a deep breath. "Actually not because this wound is starting to improve, but because the pain in my heart exceeds the pain I feel in the wound in my body," Arini said with a blank look.

Hendra stroked Arini's shoulder gently. "Patience to you, Arini."

"What's? Dodi is getting married?! My God, it's really hard on you, Arini," said Hendra, shaking his head. However, behind that, he was so amazed to see the figure of Arini who was so strong with all the trials that approached him.

"Yes, how else. All this has happened, inevitably, just not willing, I have to face it," replied Arini.

Right at that moment, the car that Arini was riding in was close to the place he wanted to go. Arini patted Hendra's arm slowly then asked the man to pull over his car.

"Stop here, Mom."

"Alright," said Hendra while pulling over his car.

Arini rushed out of the car and thanked the man. "Thank you very much, Mom."

"Yes, equally. Really, just here?" ask Hendra to make sure.

"Yes, Mas. Just here," said Arini, throwing her warm smile.

Hendra nodded and then returned to his car after saying goodbye to Arini. After the car driven by Hendra disappeared from his view, Arini rushed to the place. A store that serves the sale of new and second phones, as well as various accessories.

Slowly Arini approached the shop owner who was sitting relaxed in the store. The man smiled kindly then greeted Arini who was now standing in front of him.

"Can I help you, ma'am?" ask the man very kindly.

Arini pulled out her phone and placed the flat object on the mobile phone display case that became the barrier between herself and the man who owned the phone.

"Actually I want to offer you this phone. How many do you do, Mom?" asked Arini hesitantly. He hesitated because his phone was blind and outdated. However, it still functions normally and has never been serviced.

"Awhile, Ma'am. Let me take a look" the man replied as he grabbed Arini's phone and examined it carefully.

For a long time the man fiddled with Arini's butut phone, until finally the man smiled back at him.

"This phone model is already behind, Ma'am. I dare only 750 grand, how?" said the man later.

"750 grand? It can't be made into a million, can it? You know, my husband used to buy this expensive loh," said Arini with a tangled face.

The man shook his head slowly, with a smile still on his face. "Sorry, Ma'am. I dare to just that."

Arini breathed heavily. There was no other choice for Arini. Right now he really needs that money. "All right, I agree."
