ANTHOPHILES

WHOAREYOU?

The cold began to spread throughout Leah's body,

the coldness that finally woke Lea who was asleep with a sitting position

Lea woke up and saw a clock that indicated the time of dawn.

"ah pantes aja very cold, it was already dawn"

Lea moved from her sitting position to then go to the bathroom because she would be ready to pray.

30 Minutes passed, Lea had finished praying.

Then Leah lay down on her prayer mat,

her mind was blank, Lea had no idea what she was going to do today.

*CRUB*

It was so loud that Lea's stomach was just beginning to feel hungry and realized that she hadn't eaten enough yesterday.

Soon Lea cleared her mucus and then headed to Bunel's shop.

*Lea sat in the stall and immediately picked up the bread that was nearby*

Bunel watched Leah who was eating the bread, then asked.

“where are you from?”

“from outside the city ma'am, so far away anyway"

“why did you get here son? why are you here?”

*then Lea told Bunel* everything*

Hearing Lea's story, the bunel continued to ask.

“why don't you go home?”

Lea was silent, the question made Lea think of mother and Lily. Lea was crying.

Bunel who was confused to see Lea crying was immediately approached and hugged her.

“Sorry for your question wrong”

Bunel's embrace made him feel calmer, though,

“gapapa Ma, I just keinget mother with my sister aja”

Then Lea told me at length about mom and Lily.

Bunel could not hold back his tears, hugging Lea bunel said.

“start today, think of mother as your mother ya nak”

Lea nodded with a smile.

Today, there was not much Lea did, she just stayed home while writing songs to entertain herself.

Thinking about what he would do to make money.

Suddenly, Lea's gaze was fixed on her favorite guitar.

*Lea says in hati*

"it looks like I should really sing at the cafe"

Then Lea got ready and set off to find the nearest cafe that could receive it.

Doesn't feel like it's far enough Lea walked.

Lea almost lost her spirit as she felt very tired,

he was silent for a moment while paying attention to the buildings around him.

Lea's gaze was fixed on the cafe at the end of the road, which was,

lea immediately visited the cafe.

It was not too difficult to ask permission to sing in the cafe, finally all day Lea sang there. Lea felt very grateful, for her it was a very pleasant experience, because singing was her hobby.

While singing in the cafe, Lea accidentally saw a poster that was always displayed in the cafe, a poster that caught Lea's attention.

The poster shows a photo of 4 men.

..........

Now Lea lives her new life as a cafe singer, it does not feel like Lea has lived in the city for almost a month.

It was time for Lea to pay the rent for the extension of her residence. But Lea was confused because it turned out that the savings were not enough to pay the rent, he said, although Lea had tried to save her portion of food still could not be enough to pay rent because the income in the cafe was not too large.

That night, Lea just sat down while thinking about how she could pay the rent.

*CRING*

The phone call broke Lea's daydream,

Lea checked her phone to see who called her.

''Uncle?'

To Lea's astonishment, he picked up the phone

"uncle Hallo, what's wrong?"

"oh Leah, you're such a big boy"

Leah did not understand what her uncle meant.

"uh uh? Lea what kind of uncle?"

"you haven't come to my mother's funeral and Lily's, and you're just sending money for the funeral, until there's no do'a together for your mother and Lily"

With great regret, the uncle continued.

"You mean what? are you taking care of the family here to take care of it and finance it all? you think we're a lot of money what?!!!"

Lea was very surprised and could only be silent listening to her uncle who kept scolding her.

Because Lea was lazy to argue, Lea was only able to apologize so that this problem was not prolonged.

"sorry uncle, Lea does only have that kind of money because here Lea has not performed singing and Lea has no income"

Uncle still keeps cursing Lea.

"have your dream been altitude, it's been great instead of helping the night troublesome"

*Dial is dead, uncle turned off his phone*

Lea cried so much, she felt very disappointed by the nature of her aunt, but it was clear Lea left quite a lot of money to her aunt.

That should be enough to meet all the costs needed.

Sitting on her knees, Lea continued to cry because that was all she could do.

Not long after, Lea stopped her crying.

With an unstable feeling, Lea packed up all her things.

He thought he just wanted to walk away without knowing where the destination was going.

Lea began to walk under the dark night sky, staring around as she occasionally stared at the sky.

His mind was blank, he felt like he missed mother and Lily very much.

Unintentionally his eyes were fixed on the mobile phone store, Lea thoughtlessly walked towards the store intending to sell her phone.

Long story short his cell phone, then Lea continued his journey. I hope there is a flower shop open that night

Lea wanted to buy flowers to treat her longing for her mother and sister.

Not long after Lea found a flower shop that was still open that night, immediately Lea went to the store and bought Azalea flowers and Lily.

While continuing on his journey Lea noticed the flower, he recalled the memories with his mother.

Leah spoke in her heart.

"mothers... Leah always remembered the advice from her mother that Leah never hated her mother's family. At all Leah never hated them ma'am, but at this time Leah decided to stop dealing with them, not because Leah hated them, but because Leah hated them, but because Lea feels this is the way Lea can survive without a mother, Lea wants to live a quiet life mom, Lea did not take the wrong decision right mom?"

It was a long way away that Lea walked, then Lea stopped at the bridge and gazed towards the rushing water"

While twirling Lily's flower stalk, Lea spoke inwardly.

"Ly... That's good, right? You do not have to struggle anymore, your life is calm there.

You do not want brother ever said that life must have a purpose, do not let life ngalir.

You must be ngetawain brother, now the big brother or the purpose of life, even brother does not know where to go tonight.

Life is funny huh Ly, strange though funny but sister can not laugh”

Leah was crying on the side of the bridge.

Amidst her cries, Lea was suddenly startled by someone who was hugging her from behind.

*BUKK*

It turned out that the person not only hugged Lea, but the person took Lea forcefully into the car.

Lea who was still in a surprised position could not fight because the energy of the person who brought him was greater than his strength, he had expected that the one who brought him was definitely a man.

But, who?

Lea kept trying to let go of the hug, after being forced into the car, only then did the person let go.

[IN THE CAR]

Lea realized if the person had let go of his grasp, got the chance that Lea just shouted trying to save herself.

"PLEASE"

The shout stopped because the person next to him closed Lea's mouth to make it difficult to talk.

"don't shout, we're not criminals or kidnappers"

Looking at the 4 men, Lea felt like she had seen them.

But where? Lea had forgotten.

Since Leah had not rebelled, the man let go of her hand covering Leah's mouth.

"it's a shame I've seen you guys before, but where is it"

*Lea is trying to remember their faces*

One of the men said.

"we know us, we're artists"

At once Lea recalled the poster she had seen in the cafe where she was singing.

"ohh yeah I'd love to see your posters, I just found out that you're artists"

"Keep, what do you mean you bring me?" Ask Lea.

The man beside Lea replied

"we want to call you, you want to go round, right?"

"jeez you want to go round because of breaking up with a boyfriend?"

Lea was confused at hearing their question, Lea just fell silent while digesting everything.

The man driving the car tried to explain what they meant.

"malem-malem gini we see you diem on the edge of the bridge while crying. what else if you do not want to be round right?"

Now Leah understood the meaning of their explanation.

"god....."

"your intentions are good, but you misunderstood"

"i don't want to go round, I just want to see water"

*one of the men interrupted Lea*'s conversation*

"whatever cry? what a hell is so gajelas"

Hearing the response, Lea also felt no heartache.

"ih whatans? I'm not asking you to help me"

"continue why again this road car continues, it's stopped"

*car also stops*

One of the men tried to calm Lea down.

"okay sorry if Jimmy's talk offended you. He said he had gasuka in mind first"

"but this is so bad, you are a woman is not safe if you are on the road alone"

"as our apology, what if we bring you home"

Lea felt a very prominent difference in character from these four men. Finally Lea can understand them, because after all their intention from the beginning is to help.

"i'm sorry, you guys, so you guys need my anther back"

*Lea opens the car door to get out of the car*

*but they kept Leah from going home on her own*

"please let's get you home"

Leah who heard they were eager to drive her home felt strange and suspected them, if they had any malicious intent on her.

"you don't know me, why do you want me? don't don't...."

Not yet finished Lea spoke, one of the men cut off Lea's conversation.

"don't do what? we're artists, we're not going to do things that could hurt our careers"

"it's not hard to think strange, we're just not the heart of the women of malem-malem home alone"

*pull Lea's hand to sit back in the car, the car drove back*

"where is your home?"

Ask the guy who is driving.

Lea sighed.

"i'm the gate of the house"

*Hearing Lea's reply, all the men in the car were shocked*

*The man beside Lea holds Lea's head to make sure Lea is healthy*

"you're healthy? don't don't you get sick"

*quickly Lea brushed off the man's hand*

"heh don't hold hold ya"

lea said with a ketus.

"boiled what the hell GR really is"

Leah then explained how she got to this town.

They listened to Lea's explanation very seriously.

After listening to Lea's story, the man sitting in front of Lea said.

"before you tell me, I can already guess you are a singer, because you bring a guitar"

The man driving said.

"this color is so malem, what if you while living in our apartment? we have an empty apartment"

Hearing the offer, Lea was not happy and instead felt afraid. Afraid that they were actually mean to him.

"how can I trust you?"

"do you still doubt us?"

"all four men, I'm a woman myself, it's only natural that I'm afraid"

said Lea.

"it's up to you, we don't make it, if you want to come on if you can go down in front there"

Hearing those words, Lea was confused because the night was getting late and there was no other choice but to accept the offer.

''I'm with you" said Leah.

*Mobilpun drove calmly to the apartment*

[IN APARTMENT]

"this is your room, this is your access card"

*give a card to Lea*

"can't you pack it?"

"can, can" Lea replied.

They also told Leah.

"hopefully you're comfortable here, let's go home first huh"

"eh we haven't met you yet, I'm Lea"

"my name is Justin, this is Jimmy and Romy Shaga"

{ohh so that from earlier his attitude mature it justin}

*lea said in heart*

"thank you so much, you're gonna help me, I'm sorry I took care of you"

Justin smiled and said.

"it's a break there"

*They went away"

Leah went into the room, kept her things, and Lea laid her body on the bed.

"ah moreover, this is God, why I arrived to be reunited with them, may they really be good people"

Lea did not feel asleep because she was so tired of walking far tonight.

..........

The glare of sunlight woke up Leah who was asleep,

it's not unusual this morning that Lea woke up late.

*Hour indicates 8 am*

Lea felt less excited, because she did not know what to do today, plus Lea was getting obstruction to make it no spirit.

Then Lea took a bath, after bathing her intention Lea would go out looking for breakfast.

*finish shower*

Just opening the door, Lea was shocked because there was a man standing right in front of the door.

The man turned his back on Lea, though,

realizing that Lea had opened the door, the man turned his back. Then Lea knew that the man was Shaga.

"women wake up in the afternoon and I've been waiting here a long time" Shaga said.

Lea replied.

"usually I wake up early, but because today I want to do it again noon"

"alesan" Shaga said as she walked into the apartment.

*Lea follows Shaga in*

Because of Shaga's arrival, Lea thought that Shaga was here to ask for apartment rent.

Lea also took the money in her bag, the rest of the money sold the phone last night.

"nih... You're here because you want to collect rent, right? I just have this, I think this kind of money can make rent for how many days?"

*Shaga took the money*

"i'm not here to do this, but if you want to pay, I'll take it"

Shaga said as she sat on the sofa.

Then Shaga began to make her point of coming to Lea.

"i used to make songs and music, listen to your story semalem, I want to invite you to enter the same rich management I. management you used to be a pretty big management, it's a big management, surely they will not accept ordinary people"

*Shaga gets up from her seat and stands on a padlock*

"i want to hear your voice"

Lea was still silent, as if she could not believe what Shaga had said. Unwilling to waste the opportunity, Lea immediately brought her guitar and started singing in front of Shaga.

With her flat face, Shaga focused on listening to Lea sing.

*Without Lea knowing, as she sings Shaga has recorded her voice with her phone*

After she finished singing, Shaga clapped her hands and praised Lea's beautiful voice.

"Well I guess your voice must be good, because the person who can be accepted in management is probably a normal person aj”

"whose song was that?" Ask Shaga.

Shamefully Lea replied.

"my song"

"oh, can you make a song? can I see your other song?"

*Lea nodded then gave her notebook to Shaga*
