Buih Becomes a Tapestry

Chapter 1

Alula Farhah, commonly called Lula, is a 20-year-old girl who works as a laundry worker from house to house. This kind and fat girl has Bulimia Nervosa disorder, which is a habit of excessive eating without her realizing it.

In addition to having a bad face, it turns out his life was eleven twelve with his appearance. Lula lived together after her mother died three years ago. While his father lived luxuriously with his wife's son.

The girl with two braids had just finished breakfast and rushed out the 4 square meter room. Although minimal he is grateful to have a shelter from the hot sun and rain.

Towards the magrib, Lula had just returned to work, she wanted to immediately lay her body on the mattress. But his intention stopped after knowing the door of the boarding room was difficult to open.

"It's really hard to open, did I take the wrong key," Lula noticed the key in hand. He tried to ransack his bag and found some other keys.

"True feeling, this is the key!" Lula remembered very well that the key he held was the key to his room.

The heavy voice of the middle-aged woman shocked him from the side.

"Hey, Fat! You don't let me in, before paying off the rent for these three months!" anita snapped while showing her three fingers. The other hand is waist-tracked. The sound of the owner of this boarding house sounded jarring to make the key in Lula's hand fall.

Lula turned towards the source of the voice.

"But ma'am, it's getting dark in a minute and I haven't had enough money to pay off any of this. Give me one more week, yeah," Lula tried to negotiate with Anita. Lula clenched her hands together pleading with a face slashed.

"The reason is only you, you fat man! Find what job you do with your ugly appearance! I don't believe it anymore! Take all your stuff and leave this place!" Anita had packed up all of Lula's belongings and threw a bag at her.

Even though Lula whined and pleaded, the owner of the boarding house still did not want to heed his voice. He kept driving Lula away.

"And take your butut bike!" point Anita at a rusty bike, not far from her stand.

Finally Lula picked up the bag and pedaled his bike away not knowing the direction.

The day was getting late, Lula stopped at a house she had visited this afternoon. Hoping that his boss would be happy to accommodate him even last night.

A slender woman came out after Lula knocked on her door.

"You, Lula, what's wrong? These nights came out with bags, too," the slim woman asked in surprise.

"Madam, I was kicked out of the boarding house, let me stay overnight at the Madam's house," Lula said loudly saying but she had to, because there was nowhere else she had to go. It is also impossible to live on the roadside.

The woman looked at Lula with pity, "Alright, pity you, come in! But, only last night you can stay."

"Thank you, Madam! Tomorrow finished work I'll find kos-kosan." Lula enters and her master tells Lula to rest.

Next day.

Lula had started with her routine, washing dirty clothes. Because there were not many dirty clothes, Lula finished earlier than usual.

The employer in the house was turning on the television at the time, Lula was passing by about to ask for his salary.

"Well, that guy's handsome!" lula murmured in the heart.

Lula was watching the television. A handsome and charismatic man in the show starred in a shampoo commercial, Kevin Aluwi, 27. The man managed to steal Lula's attention.

"Lula, here's your paycheck!" the voice of his master managed to make Lula's daydreams scatter.

"Oh, yes, Madam. Thank you Madam!" Lula received the envelope. "After this, I will no longer work as a washing worker. Although my diploma is only a high school graduate, I will try to apply for a job elsewhere" Lula said confidently.

"That's good Lula, an energetic girl like you deserves more income, than working as a laborer here. So where are you going to move?" her employer looks so good that she even adds severance to Lula, even though Lula rejects her pretty hard.

"Not yet to know, Madam. Thank you, for your kindness, I'm sorry!" Lula leaves her employer's house.

Lula opened an envelope that felt thicker than usual. Salary today and yesterday he collected to find a place to live. Of course at a cheap price.

It's been two hours and the day is getting late, Lula just found a boarding room that suits the money he has. Gratefully Lula threw herself in her dorm room which despite looking crowded.

"Tomorrow I will find a new job" he said with confidence, because too tired to travel far, Lula was asleep.

Through social media, Lula manages to find the identity of the man who has stolen her heart. Kevin Aluwi, a young CEO at a PT. INDO LESTARI LIGHT. Lula intends to apply for a job there, in addition to earning income he also wants to be closer to his idol.

With just a high school diploma, Lula has arrived at a very large building.

"Wow, this place is so big! I hope I'm accepted to work here!" Lula circulated her gaze then confidently stepped foot towards the receptionist.

It turns out that where Lula is headed is currently lacking employees in the clean-up section . Since Lula is only a high school graduate, she is accepted and works as an office girl.

"Thank God, I'm welcome!" Lula was not grateful. He immediately changed his clothes in a blue uniform. From that day on he also worked. Because of his fat body, making the tightness of the clothes he wears until it is clearly visible folds on his body.

"I can't give up, even if it's just a janitor, it's a noble job. All the rooms I'll clean. I like cleanliness. Because cleanliness is part of faith." he said eagerly. Although Lula's energetic looks mask her nervousness, especially when she eats.

Lula started working from the ground floor to the fifth floor. Being too excited made him miss his lunch hour.

It was only 14:00 that Lula ate lunch so voraciously in a cafeteria. Lula quickly finished off all the food at the table. Finished eating he continued his work, cleaning the CEO's room.

"Okay, I'll bring this file for me to learn first. The meeting is over this afternoon!" the voice of a CEO in his room.

Just hearing his voice, Lula was really made drunk.

Everybody out, Kevin's in the room. Lula was confused, and seemed to think.

"I wait here until the boss comes out, or do I just go in?" muttered monologues.

His heart rippled despite being able to see the adoration of his heart from afar.

"Great handsome!" lula cheers in silence. He immediately went in and cleaned the room. Lula won't let a single piece of dust in the CEO's room. Lula is so obsessed with Kevin's good looks, that she loves anything related to him, including this room.

It's been almost a week, Alula works there. Intention, discipline and high morale, that is the work ethic that he upholds as the principle of his life. However, the plan to get closer to his superiors is not as smooth as he imagined. Lula often looked in the room Kevin alternated with women who visited him. It turned out that the man was 7 years older than him was a playboy. Lula admired him in silence.

"It turns out the boss is a playboy, yeah, ah that doesn't matter to me. One day the boss will be aware of all his actions, because it is wrong" said Lula who began mopping the floor.

"Hey, Fat! If you look around, the streets are still used too! You know, if someone slipped how, you want to answer, huh!" nagging Kevin when he wants to go out with his girlfriend.

"Yes, if I'm the boss, I can fire you!" chirp the girl who was beside Kevin while swaying spoiled. Kevin replied by rubbing his girlfriend's shoulder.

"Sorry Boss, I won't repeat this deed again!" Alula lowered her head.

After Kevin and his girlfriend walked to the elevator past him to go downstairs, Lula carried the bucket and mop down the stairs.

Lula will pay attention to her work for the better. He didn't want to make even a little mistake, because he could work in this place

it was an extraordinary thing for him, considering the education he had only graduated from High School.

The girl with the greasy face accidentally stepped on her friend's shoes, as most daydreamed about Kevin.

"Sorry, I did it accidentally!" lula was full of regrets. He did not dare to look at his senior.

"Hey, Fatty ! These are the new shoes I bought. Here's a clean lap!" kiki, 24 years old. Kiki showed me her shoes.

"Good, Brother!" suhut Lula without thinking anymore, she began to bend her body and crouch down. He did not want to fight or make mistakes that resulted in him being kicked out of a job that he loved so much.

"Wait!" emi's voice, 20 years. He's Lula's friend's seprofesi too, stopping Lula's movements.

"You shouldn't treat your friends like this!" emi's Reprimand to Kiki. Emi helps Lula stand up.

"Curtain, friend from Hong Kong! Who told you to use your eyes!" Kiki insisted on not accepting while folding both hands in front of the chest. His eyes turned panted.

"Where are the eyes to see, if the road is on the feet, just angry! Your shoes are not dirty!" Emi still defends Lula while watching Kiki's shoes.

"Already Em, besides I'm wrong, too" Lula tried to melt the atmosphere that began to tense up.

"No, you don't be so easily denigrated like this dong! Fight him!" Emi gives advice.

Just as the debate began, Kevin's assistant came. The woman in red shoes gave an announcement to all employees including office girls, that Kevin's boss will hold a thanksgiving event by inviting everyone to attend the event.

Kiki, who hates Lula, ends the debate and leaves.

"How about after work we buy clothes?" bargain Emi.

Lula who felt that she had no money felt inferior, honest from the bottom of her heart she did not have good clothes for the event later. I want to have nice clothes but no money.

"I'll take you with me" the lula who was inferior just gave a smile.

"You don't want to buy clothes?" ask Emi.

Not that I don't want to, but I don't have any money. I can pay the rent, I'm grateful.

Lula just shook her head.

After work around 16:00 the two girls entered the mall. Lula's eyes go around, it feels like he also wants to have a new and good shirt, but what power of the hand is not up. Emi had already chosen one dress that was very pretty for her. Lula's eyes highlighted the sharp pair of lovers who were also engrossed in choosing clothes.

It was Kevin with his other girlfriend. Alula felt inferior, she was like a foam when juxtaposed with Kevin's beautiful and elegant lovers.

When Kevin had a dinner party at a restaurant, Lula was there too.

"Em, I'd better not go with me" said Lula as she walked behind Emi.

"Sttt ...! Shut up, Lula, we will not miss this precious opportunity. Just imagine, when else would we eat for free in a place like this!" said Emi.

"But, I'm embarrassed by my appearance like this," Lula stopped her steps.

"Already, don't be fussy, let's go in!" Emi does not care about her best friend's anxiety and pulls Lula's hand into a fancy restaurant.

The first time Lula came to this place, she was unceasingly staring at all the food on the table. Every now and then he also steals glances, seeing Kevin from a distance, the man looks charismatic in front of everyone.

A series of events has passed, now is the time for all guests to eat dishes. Lula can eat food so fast that she can't feel it. Lula can't control that behavior. He did it without a plan. After eating he felt guilt, shame, regret and fear of gaining weight. Everyone who was there watched him with disdain. Lula immediately ran away from her desk going to the toilet. Spewed out all of it.

Emi also just found out the bad things that her best friend experienced.

Lula came back feeling nervous.

"Crazy, that fat chick is greedy to eat! I didn't eat ten years." Kevin said from the other side. Laughter filled the room. Lula who heard that bowed in shame, walked up to her desk. His heart ached getting scorn from the heart.

"Lula, you're okay, right?" ask Emi worriedly. Emi was the best friend of everyone there.

Lula raised her face, "I'm good!" he tried to smile when he was actually not okay.

After the event, Lula became a subject of ridicule. Even everyone thought Lula was a greedy girl.
