Between Love and the Idea

Eps 41 Past life

At exactly 11:00 pm, I woke up to my worms demo asking for his rations. I widened my eyes to look around and look for a figure who had been sleeping with me.

"Where are you, are you outside" I muttered, leaning against the bed.

I saw on the table there were 3 boxes of food and of course it was food for me. As fast as lightning I put on the towel I stepped on this morning and put it on. I tried to come down and I stepped foot to get my food rations.

"Acchh.... Why is it so sick. Should I walk like a duck? You perverted boss....!!!" I forced my ass to sit right on this soft sofa.

"Waaow... Chicken penyet sambal matah." said I while wiping my iler see this food menu. It is simple, but I like it very much. The heat today in addition to the side dish will make sweat pouring.

"Honey, it was awake" said Arya from behind the door surprised me

"Ah yes mas, I woke up due to worm demo asking in love ration. Not just your banana asking for rations" I said with a glance

"Hehehe yes yes dear, sorry yes. Unfortunately, I can resist the temptation of your body. Moreover, wearing a towel like that" he replied by looking at me wanting to swallow it back.

"Enough.. I'm tired of resting kah first, just want to eat cooking yes to disturb again" I said with a frown.

"Dear, quickly finish the food, after that it's my turn to eat you" she smiled.

I also ignored his words, I better finish the food and rush to take a shower.

Golden light on the horizon

In the western horizon when the day begins to dusk

I glanced at her eyes when I looked at her

The beauty of the creator

The sun is preparing to drown

Inviting friendly peace of night

Sipping light >>...

Such was the picture of Delia's current mood. He sat on the balcony staring at the drowning dusk. A smile expands on these sweet lips.

His mind wandered by what happened 3 years ago. Where when he had to be strong and strong to live this life. Looking for a job to meet the needs of the school and help his mother.

One day, his mother did not have money for school fees because the crops in her village decreased drastically and it made the farmers bankrupt. The same happened to Delia's mother. Inevitably Sari's mother borrowed it to the coach Basuki. He was the only one who could help him.

With the capital of courage, Sari's mother came to the residence of the lawyer Basuki to borrow money. And it doesn't matter to him, As long as Sari's mother pays her debt on time with her interest. It is impossible if the master Basuki did not ask for flowers, because it was from that flower that he could become rich like this.

Two months and three months of installments of Sari's mother smoothly for the boss Basuki, but in the month four and five onwards he had to pay little by little because of the money he used for treatment at that time.

Inevitably the boss Basuki came to his house forcing to pay now if not Sari's mother had to be in prison at that time. Delia who heard her mother had to be in prison inevitably she came out of her room and asked for time to pay off her mother's debt.

Unlike the coach Basuki, he looked at Delia like a cat looking at a salted fish ready at the prey. With nervousness Delia dared to ask for time and promised to pay it off.

The request was agreed on the condition that within 2 weeks must be paid off, otherwise a mysterious smile appeared that wanted Delia to be his fifth wife.

Delia who understood with that look also immediately convinced herself to pay all her mother's debts.

The return of the coach Basuki and his henchmen makes me dizzy to find money where. Plus I just graduated Junior High. It is impossible if I have to work while my diploma graduated from Junior High.

I move my feet towards the back of the house, a quiet place but here if there is a problem I calm down. I took my pants and took this thing to contact my best friend.

Tania, well because she's the only one who understands me, she's also a childhood friend who's always been there for me. I press the green button that is directly related to him. With my heart I said what I felt and asked for advice from him, who knows he has an acquaintance who can help him.

About five minutes I had discussed with him, I will finally try to go to the shophouse at the end of this village.

The next day, I rushed to sit down with my mother and expressed my opinion to work at the store. At first she refused, because my insistence was not willing to obey my wishes. I shook my hands and rushed to work.

Right there I said I meant to work there, the store owner was doubtful about me being a boy graduate of Junior High School. I finally explained everything from the debt of the boss Basuki until I got here.

Luckily the owner of this store was kind to me, I was accepted to work here after coming home from school. Well I intend to continue my schooling for the fee I have. With my diligent study and part-time work finally two weeks that I can pay off all my mother's debt.

After that I was relieved because life pursued by debt was not calm. It feels like living in a ghost by the shadow of money continuously.

(flashback off)

"Why daydream here hem,? are you sorry about what happened this morning?" ask Arya to investigate.

"No, it's just that I'm imagining my life now with what it used to be. I must be required to be strong and independent before my age" I replied with a wry smile.

"Different from now, everything like a spinning wheel sometimes is below sometimes also above. We as human beings just need to live this life with gratitude. Thank you all because God has his own plan" I continued, staring at the drowning twilight.

"Of course, forget all your past. Make it an experience and make yourself better. Remember, we are just a puppet played by the power. Isn't the mastermind behind this puppet the power? So enjoy every scenario he has created for us" Arya hugged me back.

"You're right, thank you for being in my life. Accept me a village girl who Tek has what.

"We'd better get in, 'cause it's getting dark and it's gonna keep you cool in the night air." We both walked to the room to rest for a while.
