Kemarin sore, ketika langit gelap dan nyaris dilanda badai, seorang ibu mampir ke kantor Maverick. Namanya Ibu Eni, usianya sekitar empat puluh tahun. Anak sulung Ibu Eni, namanya Tya. Tya sudah lulus dari sebuah SMK pariwisata, bahkan sudah magang di sebuah hotel bintang lima. Ia juga sudah memasuki wawancara tahap final di gerai donat dan gerai kopi terkemuka.
Tetapi masalahnya: Tya tidak punya sertifikat kelulusan—yang masih menjadi prasyarat dalam penerimaan pekerjaan. Ibu Eni tidak sanggup melunasi biaya pendidikan dan ujian Tya, sehingga sertifikatnya masih ditahan oleh pihak sekolah hingga saat ini. Padahal Tya sendiri ingin sekali cepat bekerja agar dapat membantu keluarganya.

Usage
Main article: a (disambiguation)
In English, "a" by itself frequently denotes the near-open front unrounded vowel (/æ/) as in pad, the open back unrounded vowel (/ɑː/) as in father, or, in concert with a later orthographic vowel, the diphthong /eɪ/ as in ace and major, due to effects of the great vowel shift.
In most other languages that use the Latin alphabet, "a" denotes an open front unrounded vowel (/a/). In the International Phonetic Alphabet, variants of "a" denote various vowels. In X-SAMPA, capital "A" denotes the open back unrounded vowel and lowercase "a" denotes the open front unrounded vowel.
"A" is the third common used letter in English, and the second most common in Spanish and French. In one study, on average, about 3.68% of letters used in English tend to be ‹a›s, while the number is 6.22% in Spanish and 3.95% in French.[3]
"A" is often used to denote something or someone of a better or more prestigious quality or status: A-, A or A+, the best grade that can be assigned by teachers for students' schoolwork; A grade for clean restaurants; A-List celebrities, etc. Such associations can have a motivating effect as exposure to the letter A has been found to improve performance, when compared with other letters.[4]
A turned "a" ("ɐ") is used by the International Phonetic Alphabet for the near-open central vowel, while a turned capital "A" ("∀") is used in predicate logic to specify universal quantification.
