Black Pen

23

It has been a month for me to work in the office of one of the famous tourist attractions in the Subang area .

The first taste I received, at first I felt happy, but finally I felt disappointed . Because the wages I get are not what they promised at the beginning of the meeting.

" This is your first wage, please count it.." Said a middle-aged man sitting opposite me he was none other than my SVP.

I opened the envelope that was thrust, it felt so far from being grateful, even though God had given me what I needed.

" Is it not wrong sir? " My question, a little bit angry.

"No, because this is the first wage, and your work is quite light.."

Without a second thought, I resigned that day. With whipped thoughts and feelings, humans are greedy, I should have just maintained, the sustenance has been arranged by God. If you remember yesterday it felt like a lot of things were missed that made me regret in the period that began to enter the head of these three.

"What the hell is this?". I thought as I passed home.

With a feeling of annoyance I tried to contact Akbar several times, until the sound of mermaid was heard from a distance there, I asked him to pick me up and drive me home to Mama's house.

He responded to my request, with such a long distance he still fulfilled my wish, since Akbar had always understood me, that was the reason why I was able to last up to 4 years, in fact, I am not the type of woman who is comfortable lingering in a relationship with men.

While I waited for Akbar while packing all my things. I noticed Farin who lately looked a little changed, his face looked pale, his body was always limp and vomiting. Unlike usual, some of the food that I eat was so hate him, when before he was not like that.

He also looks more sensitive in many ways, a figure that is usually jolly these days looks moody and closed.

I asked her many times what happened to her, but she switched the conversation and did not want to talk about it. Even though we have been friends for a long time, what is the point of friends if they have problems but are reluctant to tell stories? shouldn't a friend be a good listener? ah well, maybe he doesn't trust me, but I hope we can help each other, even if it's just motivation or advice.

I need to say, making the decision to resign is not easy, considering in those days looking for a job is not easy, even you have to spend money first before you work, besides, you have to spend money, I decided to resign not just because of the taste, but there was something else that was pushing me to go home.

Long stay with Farin does not necessarily make me comfortable, especially Reno slalu in my boarding house, day and night. Even I'm used to their situation.

The difference? sure, it was what I felt at first, but after a long time the feeling of unease faded with time. It's just that I still need some privacy, and living in my own boarding house will make it easier for me in many ways.

I still remember when I graduated MA, then living with Fitri. Mama said "The human nature will be discovered when we live together". And sure enough, living with Farin does not necessarily make me not bickering, we often fight, but not like teenagers today who end in jotos. Back when we were fighting just silence each other, he didn't want to talk to me, nor did I force him and leave him like that, and vice versa. Yes that's how a friend, no matter how bad you fight, they will still be your friend.

Long wait for the arrival of Akbar, it almost took four hours. Even though it was very noon, I began to worry and get upset because waiting for him was too long, although it was the distance that made it come too late.

"This is for you" He thrusts something neatly wrapped in black plastic. Unfortunately, I didn't even notice his arrival. Suddenly he was standing at the door with a black plastic bag he was holding.

"Open up" , Akbar went into the boarding house without me telling him to. He was sitting right next to me.

Immediately I opened the black package that Akbar gave me, it contained a pink teddy bear, unique doll had long legs, ribbons that tie the neck with a color that is in rhythm with his body, it also has short hands, although the doll still looks very cute. Even I gave her the name Diksi bear, haha somehow, all of a sudden that name popped into my head. Well, he almost knew all my passions, he understood me so much, understood everything about me and I loved him so much.

"Haaah, teddy bear" I took the doll out of the plastic and hugged it tightly, as simple as that, just because of a small attention it was able to make me feel precious in her eyes .

" Make it" I hug my new teddy bear while holding his hand, I don't want to let go of it anymore.

" Do you like it ?" Ask Akbar.

"I like it, but you don't know if I don't like pink." I'm a little sulking.

"Yes I know, but this doll is very unique, just look at its long legs, haha". Akbar laughed so hard as if there was no burden on his shoulders.

" Are you busy today? " I feel bad because he has picked me up, I finally took the time to ask. Just talking, but I'm afraid of people who are not happy, it feels very guilty if I interfere with the time he works.

"For you, I'll do anything, even if I'm busy". Akbar seduced me, My cheeks flushed withstanding shame.

"You're getting ready, right? We can't linger here, because it's test season"

"Udah just go home" . Exclamation

I move my stuff, pack it neatly, and get ready to go home.

Farin was already standing at the door helping me pack things.

"It used to play here often, right ? " The word Farin shows a sad countenance.

"Of course I'll visit often. But, are you sure it'll cost you here?" Looking at her rather thin body with a pale face I felt worried for her, afraid that something might happen to her.

"Reno will nemenin me every day ko, besides I also have to take care of my college right? you don't have to worry"

"Thank God" With a sense of relief, I immediately climbed into the motorcycle seat, Akbar was waiting for me to prepare for the road.

I looked at Farin for a moment before leaving, he waved with a sad expression. I replied to her wish before she completely left him .
