AFRAID OF MARRIAGE ??

Episode #2

Today I am preparing to go with my friend to work, because my friend invited me to work in Banjarmasin City he said there was a job vacancy for me.

I have to work hard for my family. I must not give up and just keep quiet, because if I just keep quiet I will not be able to produce anything.

Moreover, my sister Nelly has to pay her semester money. My sister Nelly just went to college and she took the Department of English Literature, I have to prepare funds for her to pay for next semester.

But I was still confused about having to leave my own sister at home, all this time my sister never lived alone and was always with me.

"Abang, where are you going? How neat," asked Nelly when she saw her brother was ready with his carrying case and his clothes were neat.

"Abang wants to work de, brother can not be like this continue, brother wants to give the best for you and also mama," I said to Nelly who is now sitting in front of me.

Actually I can not bear to leave my own sister but what can be done, I have to fight for this family that I love so much.

"Don't go! Who am I gonna be here for?" asked Nelly who was crying and held my hand.

I was in a dilemma, but I had to be firm on my stance to go to work. Actually I can open a business but my capital has run out all there is no left.

I decided to leave and I will accept my consequences. I was still waiting for my friend who never came, while persuading my sister who is now no longer crying.

Brando, he was my friend who invited me to go to work in Banjarmasin city, South Kalimantan Province.

Far away indeed, but what my day is because it's the only option and so I get a permanent job there.

"Where else is this Brando, long I waited," I said as I looked at the clock that was stuck in my hand.

"Abang please think again, I'm here alone bang. Mamah also definitely needs a brother," said my sister who is still trying to persuade me not to go.

"Sorry deck, brother has to go. Brother promised to return with success that would guarantee our family," I assured my sister.

Before long, Brando finally came to pick me up. I also say goodbye to my sister. With a heavy heart Nelly let me go.

"Abang leaves on deck, later after he gets there brother will tell you," I said while stroking my brother's head.

"Yes, be careful, don't forget to tell Nelly" Nelly said.

"Surely my sister." I said with a smile.

Brando and I went to take my trip to Banjarmasin by sea transportation, because the cost is cheaper . On the way I kept thinking about my sister whom I left behind.

"Richwan why are you daydreaming, what's wrong?" ask Brando to me. Right, my name is Richwan the name I have to live my real life now.

"I'm not daydreaming, I'm just thinking about my sister. But yes, I went for him too, I believe that he will be fine" I said.

"Come on, if you continue like that what about your family life? You didn't think of that?" ask Brando.

"You're right Do, I have to be strong." I said that I now get a new spirit from my friend.

After a day trip last night, the ferry that I was riding arrived at Trisakti port where I was headed, Banjarmasin City.

People say, Banjarmasin there are many tourist attractions. Nature tourism one of them is even more other tourism such as educational and culinary tourism.

I also found a contract to stay. I contracted without Brando myself because Brando lives at work. I will stay alone in the contract.

Still crossed my mind about father, he is a man who has betrayed mamah until I have to like this complain fate in the city of people.

I called my sister Nelly and told her I had arrived in Banjarmasin. Nelly is happy because I got there safely.

I informed my sister and told her my place of work is in a well-known food stall in the city of Banjarmasin. I'm happy that Nelly has now accepted her brother's departure and will be waiting for my return after this.

***

After one month I lived in Banjarmasin city and worked in a food stall I felt not at home because this one month I worked it turned out my salary was not in accordance with my expectations and was far from perfect.

Indeed, no one is perfect but at least get perfection is a bonus especially about the salary that must be proportional to the energy spent.

But yes it is okay I sincerely the most important now I already have a job.

I told my sister and I told her about my salary, my small salary was my hard work and most importantly it was halal for me.

📞 "Hallo deck, how are you? Brother misses you. Today's payday brother, brother will send this money to you yes," I said through my mobile phone that I bought while my father and mother were still fine.

📞 "Abang, good news bang. Brother how's it there? I want you to come home soon!" nelly said from across there.

📞 "Thank God that you are good news there deck, brother will go home soon but later after brother get success here," I said again while looking at the wallet in my hand that contains my payday money is not much.

After my conversation was over with my sister on the phone earlier, I immediately went to the Bank to transfer money for my sister as well as my mama.

On the way to the bank, I saw a mother and her child hanging in the street like the mother's son was sick. I approached them and asked them.

It turned out that the mother was looking for help because her son was sick and needed the cost of treatment.

I felt sorry for the boy, and then I took the mother and son to a nearby clinic. It was true that the boy was sick.

"Oh my God, thank you for helping us." said the mothers after the child was finished by the doctor.

"Together mother.." I replied.

I felt a dizzy feeling in my head after hearing the mother speak truthfully, it turned out that this mother was worse than my present life. But still I do not accept because now because of this situation mamah went to RSJ.

With a heavy heart I gave my salary to the mother to finance the treatment of her child.

"Allah thank you, may mas be bestowed his sustenance," said the mother while calling me.

After my business was done with the mother and son earlier, I immediately left the clinic.

"God! Why do I give all my salary to my mother, for Nelly how and pay my contract too" I said as I patted my cheek.

Dizziness and getting dizzy, I went straight back to my contract and had to be ready to spray the rented mother.

And true, the night the killer's rented mother came and banged on the rented door with her fast. I lazily opened the rented door and approached her.

"Where is the money to pay the contract? Pay up!" billih rented mother at the same time the expulsion of rented mother.

"There is no ma'am." I replied that made the rented mother glare like she was about to pounce on me.

" Tomorrow, if you can't pay, you'd better find another hostel "

The next day, Richwan tried to find a loan with his coworkers, but no one wanted to lend him, even though he had told him the truth but no one wanted to know about his predicament.

" Now you better find another boarding house, to pay for your boarding house forced mother had to take your phone" said the boarding mother to him.

With a heavy heart, Richwan was forced to give his cellphone to the boarding mother, with previously he released his memory card that stored several important phone numbers.

Richwan now lives on the streets of Banjarmasin city, if night falls, he sleeps in the role of a store with a piece of cardboard as the base, and the sheath as a blanket.

I can't burden others, but I don't know what to do about this town. Brandon his best friend was no longer in the city, not knowing where he went without a message to me.

I have also decided to stop working at the restaurant, because there is no way I work with my condition that is messy and unkempt because it rarely takes a shower.

What I can do, living on the streets I have to live. To be able to hold my stomach, I also have to scavenge in the trash can hoping there is something still worth to be able to eat, or if I don't ask for food to the guy who sells rice on the side of the road. Not everyone wants to give me food.

If anyone were to give me a pack of rice, it was a great favor for me, and I would eat it for 5 meals. I've never lived a life like this.

Rice has become porridge, what can be done now. Want to return to Jakarta no cost dime. to maintain life, I also have to scavenge in the end, although the results scavenged not how grateful I just.

My face that used to be white, and treated is now black legum unkempt due to the reaction of sunlight that every day hit my body, which walks every day to and fro .

For three days I have not eaten a single meal, minus I take from the river water that stretches in the city of Banjarmasin. The body is no longer taken care of, the hair is getting longer, the whiskers are getting thicker, the body odor is getting stinging because there is no more perfume, so many people think of me as a crazy person.

I was no longer strong to walk, plus my body started to feel feverish, dizzy. Let alone to buy medicine, buy ricepun I was not able to. I tried to strengthen myself that afternoon down the city road , hoping someone helped me. I was no longer strong walking, I was no longer able to walk, It rained that afternoon to take a shower, and I kept walking and walking from one store to another, and I fell unconscious.

***********

I finally realized, I saw around me why is it in this room? I started to dare to ask.

" Where am I?"

" You are now at Ulin Banjarmasin Hospital, I brought you here because we fell unconscious" she said.

" I want to go home, I don't have a fee to pay for the hospital" I said, who then got off the bed, but my attempt to escape was prevented by the girl.

" You take a break first, you don't think about the cost. later I help pay it" said the girl smiling at me.

" but...."

" you should rest first yes, tomorrow the doctor said you can also go home again."

I also obey the girl's words, I do need recovery for my health, especially my condition is not stable.

" Where are you real? "

" Jakarta" kataku

" Why did you get to be like this ?"

Just tell me everything that happened from start to finish as I can tell you.

" Yes, it's important now that you're healthy first, I'll help you find a job "

" Thank you very much for your help "

" Oh yeah, what's your name ?" ask the girl to me.

" I'm Richwan "

" I'm Aisha "
