Because of a Dream

Part 7's. Waiting for the Employer

One night, Christine dreams of meeting her idol. In his dream, he could hug the idol until satisfied very tightly. He also kissed her face and the man did not mind at all. Then he poured all his overflowing heart on the idol. He said,

"You are everything to me. I hallucinate meeting you every day. Just imagining it makes me happy. You are so beautiful. Whatever you do, it's beautiful and good in my eyes. Even if it's a mistake. Maybe I'm blind because of this stupid feeling. I felt like a slave so I often lost control and lost my mind. I want this slavery to end. Please marry me. I want to be by your side forever. Whatever you ask, I will obey. Please." Please."

He pleaded with her very much in front of him. Until finally softened the man's heart. The idol fell and fell in his arms. They even ended up in marriage and eventually got a son.

What every fan wants for their idol. But all of that can only be manifested in dreams and hallucinations. Anyone can dream.

Dreaming can make a person happy. But dreams can also make a person afraid.

But even if it was only in a dream, he was very happy. His face was beaming while he was sleeping. The boy sat down near her and watched her for a moment. He could not wake her up even though it was noon. He let her sleep and even covered her back.

Then he took his drinking water and went to work. He wished his employer was home so he could go home with the money.

While on the street, he heard there was a commotion in the market. He ran to the crowd to see what was going on. And how shocked he was when he saw his close neighbors beaten and judged by the mob to be battered and almost killed. He tried to steal in a gold shop to pay for his wife's delivery. But it was fortunate that the police soon arrived there and secured the situation.

The situation made him anxious and afraid. And for a moment he wanted to undo his intention to leave to see the state of the man's wife when he heard the bad news. He promised to continue working for his sister.

So once the atmosphere was safe, he encouraged himself and went to his master's house.

Arriving there, he saw the gate of the master's house was not locked. He thought maybe his employer was back. Then he went straight to the warehouse and took his equipment.

He started mowing the weeds and cleaning them. Some dead flowers are also removed and thrown away. He also drizzled the surrounding soil and sprinkled fertilizer. After that, he watered some other plants. The garden was so vast that it would not be finished if it was only done for one day.

Then without feeling the day is already late afternoon. But the master was not seen. Because it had been a long time to wait until late and there was no result, the boy decided to go home. This time he also came home empty-handed and he was very sad. He didn't even have time to scavenge for food that night.

She was so sad to tell her sister everything. He said,

"What are we going to eat tonight? I went home without any money. I thought my employer had gone home because the gate was open. I worked until the afternoon. But my master did not come. So I decided to go home."

"Tonight we drink water. We promised not to take the money we saved to buy food."

"But you'll be sick later. I don't eat often."

"I am too."

They agreed and spent the night with a stomach full of water.

**********

That morning he was very excited even though he had eaten nothing last night.

After the boy left, Christine who had been home all day later became bored and dissatisfied with her current situation. Especially at this time he had to obey his brother's orders to stay quiet at home.

So after thinking for quite a while, he finally decided to go scavenging. He picked up the sack and the stick his brother used to wear and went to a sizable pile of trash. Landfill in the area. He began to scrape through the trash one by one in the pile to look for things he could sell.

Then after the entire day, he could collect a lot of trash that could be sold. Then he went to someone where people used to sell the proceeds. He was very happy to get enough money. But one of the women who saw him became envious and pushed him to fall into the got.

Although many people saw him, he was not afraid to do that. But Christine didn't retaliate because she didn't dare. He got up and cleaned his clothes and ignored every word of insults and threats that the woman said.

Then he went to the food stall and bought some food. He chose a few pieces of fried chicken for him to spend alone right then and there because he was so hungry after not eating last night. Not to forget he also bought food for his brother and he took it home.

He came home with a very happy face. On the way he stopped by a store and bought the latest poster of his idol artist. He said in his heart,

"For now I can only buy posters. But later, I'll meet you in person. Just wait and see. I'll raise a lot of money and work hard."

When he got home, he replaced the old poster with a new one. Then she sat down contemplating, thinking about what reason she would say later when her brother came home and inquiring about it.

When it was late afternoon, the boy came home. That day he also came home empty-handed. Even so, he still cleaned part of the park while waiting for his master to come.

With a sad look on her face she said to her sister,

"I'm sorry, sister. Today you can't bring money and buy food either."

"I warned my sister. But yeah, that's it. I've prepared food for you."

"Food? From where?"

"Someone gave it to me."

"Are you mingling with the people here? Did I ban you?"

"No. A mother bought food for her son. But her son didn't like it and he gave it to me. I was sitting in front of the house at the time. I took it and kept it for my sister. That's it, brother."

So without asking any more, the boy immediately went and washed himself and ate. As for Christine, she went to bed because she was tired.
