Between Love and Traditional Java

East Warehouse

Uje propelled his motor as the light turned green again. Distance east warehouse and central store not far. Just passing a few shops and located across the road. Ten minutes we've reached the front gate of the barn. Mr. Satpam swiftly opened the door because he was familiar with Uje.

"Well, who's Maz?" greet the new security guard who also did not know me. This is the first time I've seen him.

"Temen from the Blitar branch sir," Uje told and walked in.

"Temen what temen," the security guard named Arif chuckled. I only used my smile to respond, then followed Uje.

Nofia who knew of my arrival and Uje was burning with jealousy. Rina said that she also likes Uje, since the move of Dawn to Blitar.

"Haih, all the boys are liked, just keep on going until dapet," I'm upset in the mind.

I also stood on equal footing with the other children. I helped unload cargo from the truck. We throw things at each other responsibly, hoping the work will be done soon. While some of the other men moved a large sack with a troly. The hour hand kept turning, almost nine o'clock the night the new stuff was finished being taken out of the truck.

Some of us are busy arranging goods in towering wooden shelves. Some code goods and record them as reports. I just looked at them, I felt tired, maybe because my pain had not really recovered. So that my body quickly lunglai. I sat in the chair and grabbed the available mineral bottles.

Drrt. drr..

The vibration in my pocket shocked me, I finished my drink and put the bottle on the nightstand. Because I'm tired of moving down between piles of clothes, so I can fall a little.

"What are you again?" Danial gave me a message. From the morning I haven't given it up. I forgot to tell you if I want to go back to work. My coordinator is already so noisy.

"I want to go back to Blitar" I replied briefly.

"Kok didn't say, I could have anterine, '" Danial offered.

"Whoa, I was escorted by my mother in the warehouse."

"You're doing that?"

I haven't had time to reply to Danial's message, Uje called me.

"Hey, back yuk, it's too bad," Take Uje to me who's sitting among a pile of unfinished clothes laid out. Some are still scattered beside the shelves.

For a moment I was about to stand up, my hand accidentally nudged a pile of clothes. I haven't had time to balance, Uje's hand has been holding the clothes that will fall. I bumped into Uje as if hugging her in shock. But Uje's hand wasn't strong enough to hold everything back, eventually all the stacks collapsed as well.

For a moment I realized our position, and then I dodged. Removing his hand on my waist.

"Sorry," I'm confused. I'm ashamed of being careless.

"Oh, sorry, that was a reflex," Uje also misbehaved. Then he swiftly cleaned up the piles. I helped her too. We were silent, the atmosphere was silent.

We're both left out of the barn. The other child had already returned early due to having to walk to the central store.

Half an hour passed and all the new piles were finished. Uje locked the door carefully and picked up her motorbike in the parking lot. While I waited for him in front of the gate.

"Would you go back?" asked Mr. Arif with an inexplicable smile. Like there was another point he was hiding. But it looks like a smile is embarrassed.

I've heard Uje's motor, I look back and she comes up to me. After saying goodbye to Mr. Arif, Uje launched his motorbike. Along the way we try to act as if there is nothing. Actually, there is nothing either.

"Laper no, want to eat first," Uje stopped in front of the shop gado-gado deket central store.

Uje turned off the motor as I got off. I immediately returned to the upper room. So did Uje who climbed the stairs to her room.

I cleaned my body, it felt like my eyes were no longer awake. I lay down my body while opening whatsapp.

"arrrghh .. Danial.." I patted my eel, for forgetting to reply to the message, and just read it. When I was typing, my phone suddenly died.

"Lowbat.aishh shit," I said. I'm looking for my charger in the bag. After getting all the plugs are being used. I finally went down to the kitchen to paint it.

"So you make noodles, lapeer.." I also take instant noodles from the cabinet. I turned on the stove and boiled the water. I let my phone charge.

Soon instant noodles boiled with half-cooked eggs, which I did not let the egg yolk break was ready to eat. Not to forget I sow fried onions as a complement.

I was about to devour the first feed, Uje and Fery came up to me.

"Eat alone" Uje surprised me.

"Want? make it yourself," I pointed to the cabinet and continued my meal. Uje and Fery smiled at my behavior.

Fery boiled noodles while Uje accompanied me to eat. Uje just kept talking about stories that I didn't know the plot. It was a funny story that made me laugh. Before long ferry brought two bowls in front of Uje.

"Manja really does not want to cook alone," I insinuated Uje in a joking tone.

"And I already have a cook, why bother," Uje embraced Fery on the grounds of friendship. Fery tried to let go of Uje's strict embrace.

"Gue ga fag, far away, unclean idih," Fery who was uncomfortable in the embrace immediately wagged his hand. Fery who looks like a big dipper can also throw Uje. The three of us laughed cheerfully.

The last mouthful I swallowed, and I went to wash my plate. That night I did not reply to Danial's message. Because the clock is pointing at eleven o'clock.

"Maybe Danial's asleep, too" I thought. I'll reply to the message in the morning.

At dawn, I blinked my eyes. My alarm was already noisy but I snooze from earlier. I got up from the mat and went to the toilet. I took a shower and prepared myself to go to Blitar. I waited for Mr. Rifai who turned out he was standing by in front with the child who will come to Blitar. Because of Ramadan there will be additional personnel.

"Sister, I'll be transferred to Blitar." Rina ran from the corridor of the room when she saw me going down the stairs. He hugged me tightly in joy. I also welcome him glad.

That morning, Lina and I became more familiar when they met. He's a great storyteller and I love hearing his chat. Along the way Mr. Rifai also grinned to warm the atmosphere.

Two hours drive we have arrived at the Blitar store. As usual Upil became the first person possessed, immediately ran after he saw me and hugged me tightly. For only a few days, I did not go to work.

Drrt.drr..

"His work spirit" a message from Danial published my smile.

"yes baby, you're fine, yes" I replied to Danial's message and finished my work.
