"Who is that man? Why did it happen this afternoon, as if it was a way to always meet him? It sucks." I cried during the trip.
Not wanting to go home, I finally decided to go to Madam Lola's brothel. I no longer have a purpose in life other than that.
As usual, a night like this is already so crowded with visitors. Seen from the parking lot that there is almost no gap for other cars that come.
" Tan, not a holiday? How come?" ask Wulan to me.
"There's work at home too. Mending here, eat and drink for free." I replied.
"Yes how, the atmosphere again rame. But you are sick again. Madam won't tell you that." Wulan told me.
"Leave a sore lip, others not too. Anyway, where would om-om the same pockmarked girl like this." I chanted to her.
Wulan just smiled crisply, and took me inside the house.
Wulan is a country girl, just like me. His fate was unfortunate because it was sold by his own biological father. It's just that, he doesn't have a regular customer like me, because he's not experienced. Therefore, I often set aside my payment a little for him.
"Tan, what's going on here?" ask Madam, same as the wulan question.
"At bosen's house. Mending's here, right?"
"If you can't stay here, you have to work. Especially rame nih."
"Father." answered me, who was sitting at the singasana. My place used to wait for a customer to come and tell me to serve him.
Wulan continued to accompany me, while learning how to serve customers well. I was like a tutor to him. But indeed, he had only been close to me all this time, when others had always puffed him up with faces that were not as beautiful as others.
" Why should we be aggressive? Shame, I don't have any self-esteem." replied Wulan spontaneously.
I nudged his wide eel out of annoyance.
" You know where we are? We're at home P*l*c*ran. From the beginning we came here, that self-esteem was gone without ever coming back" I replied.
"While I'm forced to go in?"
"Of all the girls here, no one accidentally went in, no. You see Niken? She even sold her husband to cover her debts. Arin, he's a street kid who's in foster care for this job. And I, I did come alone, but it was all for the sake of that man."
"If it's still a grudge, why keep taking care of it?"
"This is what it feels like, when we're in between words anyway. A word that requires us to accept reality, even though the heart of the city rejects it outright. But, anyway, he's my father."
"Yes... I understand how it feels."
Wulan and I talked for a long time. No one approached us at all. Because indeed,. I chose a place in the corner that was rarely seen by others.
"Muild... You here? Um don't think you're in?" call Om suryo to me.
"Hmm, Diamond's off again, Om. Look at this, bruised all because of the sick yesterday. Fearfully, if forced labor, even can not satisfy the customer." I replied with a little temptation to him.
Om Suryo reached into his wallet, grabbed a few pieces of red money, then gave them to me.
" This, make the cure. Poor, beautiful like this is Bonyok's face. Later, if it's healed, directly contact Om ya." he said flirtatious, as his hand poked my chin.
