Asmara Anastasia

Decent Place

"When are you leaving?" ali asked Anastasya who was busy arranging clothes in a backpack. The thirty-five-year-old man himself was standing on the doorstep of his nephew's room. Still looks of anxiety on his face.

The girl looked over and smiled at the uncle.

"Tomorrow morning uncle."

"So fast?" Ali was worried.

"Yes, uncle. Tomorrow morning Uncle Rini will be back in town, and I will be with him. Anyway, if I go alone, afraid of getting lost."

I heard Ali breathing deeply.

"Ana," call Ali sounding soft.

"Yes uncle."

"Are you sure of your decision?" suddenly, Ali felt doubtful about the permission he had given Anastasya. Living alone in the city, made him very worried. Especially if the nephew is still a girl and beautiful face.

Anastasya stopped his activities, got up and approached Ali who was still standing in the doorway. The girl knew of the turmoil that her uncle was feeling. But what else does it want. Only by working can he achieve the hope that has been dreamed of. Produce the rupiah coffers, and help the uncle's family's economy to be better.

Anastasya rubbed both of Ali's shoulders gently.

"Ana sure uncle. Ana was never this sure."

"But, Ana..," said Ali hanging.

"Uncle don't worry, Ana will definitely take good care of herself."

Ali stared blankly at the nephew. Until he remembered one thing.

"Ana, wait a minute." Ali rushed to his room, and for some time he reappeared with an envelope in hand.

"Ana, take it." Ali held out a ladder, then gave the envelope to Anastasya. "Uncle still keeps the remaining money from the sale of your home and land. Take that as your life's stock in the city."

Anastasya knitted his brows. He stared at the thick enough amplob and opened it.

Of money.

"Uncle, why is this money still there. Hasn't the land been sold for a long time?" Anastasya didn't even think the money was left.

"real Ana. But all this time uncle kept it and it was only used to finance your school."

Ana was really touched. He hugged Ali and cried on his shoulder. Vukup lama both unravel decapitation. Anastasya reopened the white envelope, and pulled out half the money inside.

"It's too much, half of which is better for uncle and aunt alone."

Ali Voba refused by shaking off Anastasya's hand.

"No Ana. This is your money, uncle doesn't need it" Ali refused.

Uncle, in a state of having nothing you still say if you don't need it.

But the girl did not want to hear rejection. He quickly slipped the money into the man's pocket and refused when he wanted it back.

*****

Crying was no longer spared. Hugs and kisses abound on Ayu's landing on her beloved niece. Same with Ali. The four little boys were also seen crying, as if they did not want Anastasya to be far apart from them. Although heavy, Anastasya began to step up and prepare to leave his beloved home and family.

The girl left with Rini's uncle by car. They traveled long enough to reach the city.

"Later you'll meet someone. He's my friend and one of the seniors at your place to work" said the middle-aged man who was busy turning the wheel. Anastasya sat beside him.

The girl nodded too.

"Yes uncle."

"Hi," said Uncle Rini to the middle-aged woman after descending her iron horse. Anastasya followed, opened the door and stood behind the man's body.

The middle-aged woman nodded, then gave a sweet smile.

"Is this girl the one, sir?" ask the middle-aged woman to Rini's uncle.

The man nodded, then pushed the body of Anastasya who was standing behind him to take a few steps forward, aligning him.

"Yes, mom. This girl will work for you. Her name is Anastasya."

The middle-aged woman reached out and was greeted by Anastasya.

"I'm Ana Bu."

"Don't call mom, just call aunty. I'm Aunt Arum." The two throw smiles at each other.

"Ana, uncle excuse me. Take good care of yourself. Sorry, after this maybe uncle can no longer see you."

The girl nodded faintly, understanding if the middle-aged man was only on duty to escort her.

"It understands uncle."

Not long after, the middle-aged man left Anastasya and Arum. For a moment the girl was silent, staring at uncle Rini's vehicle which began to disappear on the road.

"Ana, come with aunty" Arum asked Anastasya. On foot the middle-aged woman led Anastasya to a building fifty meters from the highway.

"Well Ana. At work we provide facilities for this flats as a place to live. It's not fancy, but at least it can be a shelter to be overseas like us." Arum shows a stacking house not far from the front.

"So this Aunt Arum is an overseas person too?" anastasya asked half in disbelief.

"Yes Ana. Just like you."

They started to enter the three-story building. Arum guided the steps, while Anastasya tailed behind with his bag containing only shabby clothes.

Arum stopped in a room whose door was still tightly closed. He grabbed something in a bag of clothes and looked for something in it. It is seen if Arum finds a key, then opens the brown door immediately.

"Ana, here's your room. Do not be afraid, all the residents of this hamlet are women and also employees where you will work. Take a break, and tomorrow morning you're just gonna start work." Arum explained to Anastasya.

"Thank you bi."

"If you're hungry, you can find food vendors in the area. And if you need any help, you can ask your other friends for help."

Anastasya nodded in response.

"Alright, auntie go home first." Arum was about to turn his back when Antasya called out to him.

"Didn't auntie stay in this place too?"

Arum smiled faintly. "No Ana, aunt has a home of her own. Tomorrow aunt will show you. Now get some rest and aunt will be home."

Anastasya also let go of Arum. He pulled his backpack into the room. There is a warm and comfortable feeling when entering the 4x4 room. Although there are only folding mattresses and wardrobes, but the room is quite clean and not stuffy.

Anastasya laid her body on the bed. He felt quite tired after several hours of traveling from the village to the city. Until he decided to rest before cleaning himself.

God, thanks. You gave me a decent and comfortable shelter to occupy. Alhamdulillah
