AFTER YOU GO ~Story About Farrel~

SISTER SISTER

Kartino and Suryo stared at each other and occasionally glanced at Hanun who was still sitting on the chair right before them.

"What do we mean?"

Kartino looked at Hanun who was instantly glaring at him.

Suryo sighed, trying to find the right solution for this task. Suryo stood up and circled Hanun who was sitting like a sick person on trial.

"Let me go home! I'm not stealing here." Once again Hanun tried to find a gap to break free from that place.

"But unfortunately Mr. Farrel told us to take care of you."

Oh, that guy's name is Farrel.

"Okay, look at this .. We won't report you to the police, but ...."

Suryo paused and whispered to Kartino, not sparing Hanun's attention.

Kartino looks to nod in agreement.

Well, Hanun wants to be flanked.

"But what?"

Hanun was really impatient let alone seeing the whispers of the neighbors in front of him.

"For a month you have to work here without being paid."

Hanun immediately screeched in disagreement.

"I can't."

"That's a mutually beneficial solution. You're underreported, while Mr. Farrel gets his responsibility from you."

"I work too. How could I work in two places at once."

Suryo and Kartino are back.

"You work till what time?"

"Till afternoon."

Hanun threw a paled face, why could he be here? He also avoided something.

"You have finished your magrib here. We'll open until ten o'clock."

"But what am I doing here?"

Hanun surrounded the workshop with his eyes, those huge trucks were terrifying for him.

"anything. Deal anyway!"

Suryo extended his hand before Hanun intending to shake hands. The hand was not immediately greeted by Hanun who was still thinking.

Is this a way to make up for his mistakes?

Finally Hanun welcomed the hand and there was an agreement between them.

***

After the trial, Hanun left the workshop on foot. There is no money only to be used on public transport.

Damn me today. Why did Bang Dodo see me?

Then why should I meet again the same person I snatched? Ughb ....

Hanun grumbled in his heart.

Hanun is an ordinary girl who lives alone without any relatives. Somehow the story, Hanun was able to meet a thug named Dodo.

Hanun grew up with the thugs, without the affection of his peers. Hanun doesn't remember anything about his past. Hanun only remembered how he used to be forced to beg on the streets. Then after adulthood Dodo also forced him to become a snatcher.

Only one that Hanun is grateful for is that Dodo does not sell her as a woman. Dodo only extorts Hanun's money and forces him to become a criminal.

Ever since that night, Hanun was caught snatching by Farrel. I don't know why he felt so embarrassed. Hanun felt very dirty as a woman. The next day, Hanun is determined to change his life.

It just so happened that time Hanun saw there was a vacancy in a bookstore. Although with a deep sense of condolence, Hanun ventured to apply for a job there.

Miraculously, Hanun is accepted unconditionally by the old pregnant shopkeeper and needs a worker to help him.

And now what? Only half a day's work Hanun had run away without saying goodbye. What would a pregnant woman think of her?

Ah how come now Hanun is coming home. So, Hanun stepped foot towards the bookstore where he worked.

Hanun quickened his footsteps even though his breathing was hunting and wet with sweat soaked all over his body. Hanun kept walking.

***

A few energy-draining minutes, Hanun finally arrived at the bookstore. Hanun rushed in there. The reduced buyers made the situation in the bookstore quite quiet. Hanun walked in to look for the shop owner.

When he saw the female figure with a bulging belly was sifting through the books in front of a shelf, Hanun walked quickly to him.

"Mr ...."

The shopkeeper turned and smiled to find Hanun approaching him.

"Sir, I'm sorry .. that was .. that was ...."

"Help me separate the title of this book dong Nun!"

Eh?

Instead of asking or getting angry, the store owner acted as if nothing had happened.

Even so, Hanun had to still explain what happened. Hanun wanted to be a good person, just this once.

"Sir, I'm sorry I left without permission."

Putting down the book she was holding, the pregnant woman smiled back. "You must have been unintentional, right?"

Hanun nodded quickly his face full of regret venturing into staring at his master.

"So something happened, so I ...."

"I understand, help me get this over with quickly. After that we close, my husband's gonna pick me up soon."

"Good Ma'am."

Hanun immediately worked and tried hard not to make a mistake. Having a good employer may be a bonus from the Creator for him that he has never gotten.

***

After the store owner came home, Hanun left the bookstore. Hanun returned on foot to his residence.

Ah Hanun is lazy, surely upon arrival at the Dodo house will scold him or more than that.

Heavy breathing accompanied Hanun's every step towards the house.

Fear and worry he had to face. Hasn't he been used to being scared since childhood?

***

Arriving in an old house, more precisely a hut with each wall attached to pieces of cardboard to dispel the wind that pierced the skin.

Hanun opened the door of the bamboo carefully. Hanun spread his gaze into the house that only had one room.

Where's Dodo?

Hanun did not find the thug inside the house. Hanun breezed inside and sat on a newspaper that was held on the ground floor.

Hanun wiped his sweat while fanning his body with the hat he had worn. Not long after, the door opened featuring a tattooed man on his left arm. The man was a Dodo, he was surprised to see Hanun at home.

"Where are you?"

Hanun's long hair was pulled backwards by Dodo making Hanun grimace in fear.

"I-I work Bang."

Dodo laughed loudly without letting go of Hanun's hair. "Where's the deposit today?"

Hanun squealed in pain as Dodo strengthened the grip on his hair.

"Another week, another week I'm paying Bang."

Dodo pushed Hanun's head hard until Hanun fell to kiss the floor.

"Stupid! There's a repentance story here."

Hanun lowered his head not daring to answer, however Dodo had given him life, giving him shelter even in the wrong way.

Yes, Dodo is a little thug who has a heart when he met a little girl who cried at a red light. Dodo was moved to help the girl but circumstances also made her have to use the girl to connect her life. The girl was Hanun who was then five years old and Dodo who was already a teenager. They are destined to be sisters, but not in a beautiful way.
