Pomegranate stared at the mound of land in front of him sadly. Ida, her beloved grandmother had just died of illness. He is 70 years old. Three days before she died, her grandmother said she was not her grandson. She was just the girl that her grandmother had found as a baby at a patrol station in the village where she lived. Pomegranates were shocked and beaten. All this time he thought that he was his grandmother's grandson and his parents had died. It is true that her grandmother had a son and daughter-in-law who had died, but they were not her biological parents.
Her grandmother asked Pomegranate to go find her parents to Jakarta. The grandmother gave her a necklace and pendant with the initials A, a photo of the baby Pomegranate, along with a business card. In the business card is written a name and address of the company listed in City J. Her grandmother said that she found the business card not far from where Pomegranate was thrown away. Her grandmother said that it was likely that the person was the one who threw out the Pomegranate. I don't know if it's his parents or just people
errand.
“Eric Stephenson..”, muttered Pomegranate while staring at the mound of earth in front of him.
“Del, let's go home.” Miss Nisa, Pomegranate's neighbor, invited her home from the funeral.
“Money Ma'am, sakedap malih. Miss Nisa can go home first.”
“Yes. Later if Pomegranate anything just say to mom huh?”, Pomegranate nodded.
“Grandma, thanks. Grandma has been taking care of Pomegranates to this size. Pomegranate dear grandma. Pomegranates promise to find Pomegranate's parents. May Pomegranate's parents still be alive.”

Pomegranate entered into a simple house that was occupied all this time with his grandmother. He went into his room and his grandmother. During this time he and his grandmother always slept together because his grandmother's house there was only one room. He took an account in his name containing ten million dollars.
‘Fifth, grandson. In the table drawer there is a content account of ten million. Get ready to go to City J. Grandma asked for
sorry I can't take care of Pomegranate. Now it's time for Pomegranate to find her biological parents Pomegranate.’ that's how her grandmother said before she was critical and eventually died.
“Grandmother.” Pomegranate shed her tears again.

Pomegranates stared at the astonishment of the large and storied buildings visible to his eyes. Just this time he set foot in the big city. Since long ago he was very rare to the city in his area because the distance is very far. Pomegranates have been on foot for an hour since getting off the inter-provincial bus. He wanted to find a man named Eric Stephenson, but instead he was confused where now.
“Better to find a contract first yes.”, the inner
Pomegranates walk while occasionally asking people on the side of the road about the rent or boarding around there.
Pomegranate saw a woman sitting at the stop drinking her boba.
“Excuse me, Brother. I'm looking for a cheap contract here, do you know the place?”, asked Pomegranate
“There's no, will I take you? The contract has my tanti. It's safe to be calm. Close to the market and the online ojek base.”
“Ah.. Thanks, Brother..”. The pomegranate and the woman walked together into a small alley.
“Call me Nina just mbak. Whose name are you and where are you from?”
“Ah, I'm Pomegranate. I'm from XXX area. Want to find work here.”
“Laise, Del. Don't be so formal. It looks like we are the same age as.”, Nina said with a smile.
After 15 minutes of walking, Pomegranate finally arrived at the boarding house owned by Nina. After meeting with
tantenya Nina and agreed with the price, Pomegranate took the money from her bag and directly paid the rent for 3 months.
“Stay looking for work. And. looking for Eric Stepenson. I have to ask that guy. Could he be my parents?”

“Delima, would you like to cooperate with me? Coincidentally my working company again needed a lot of Office Boy and Office Girl.”, Nina came to Pomegranate's contract early in the morning and told Pomegranate that she was eating her breakfast. Just a bowl of noodles from Nina, because she hasn't been shopping. Nina is very kind and caring. Maybe because he knew that Pomegranate had just come. Nina's house wasn't far from Pomegranate's. Just walk for 5 minutes.
“Hah? Did ya? I want.” Pomegranate answered happily.
“Totally. The company I work for has just been renovated and needs more Office Boy and Office Girl. So you want to? We will work together later. I'll tell Viana ma'am. Go first. Terms can follow tomorrow.”
“Thanks, Nina. You are so good.”
“Sama-sama, Del. I am very happy to have a new friend. Ah how are you of which descent? Your face is kayaking
not Indonesian.”
“Say neighbors in the village are too. Said I was weird hehe.”
“Your skin is white, you know. Your face is smooth too. What skincare wear? ”, Nina asks while grinning.
Pomegranate grimacing. “Gak use any, Nin. In a village where there are skinkers. Just use the same well water bath soap. .”
“HAH?” The pomegranate was aghast as Nina shouted. Pomegranate shakes his head.

“Thanks, Miss Viana. I will try to work well.”
Pomegranate is very happy because he feels lucky. Just arrived in Jakarta, he immediately got a job. This was all thanks to the help of Nina. One day he must repay Nina's kindness.
“Alright already yes. I'm waiting for you tomorrow. Now you start cleaning the lead room on the 15th floor before the owner comes. Do nothing but clean the place. Understood it? The uniform can be picked up in the closet over there.” Viana pointed at a closet in the corner of the room.
“Iya, Mum.”
“Do well. If not, you will be fired.” Viana stared at the intense Pomegranate. “Btw, what do you use skincare for? How can your face be so smooth?”, Pomegranate looked at Viana while smiling stiffly. Two people have asked him about skincare. He only wears bath soap!
“Skinker what a jal!**?”, exclaim Pomegranate in the heart.

“Wir!”
“Gosh, don't call me War Wir like that my name is Wira!”
“Stupid about that! Is the hiring of Office Boy and Office Girl done?”
“Of course it's Young Master Devano Anderson Wijaya.”
“Good. Thanks, Wir.”
“Please.” Wira, the assistant and his best friend is upset with the nickname of his boss.
Devano smiled only thinly. Don't care about that. He looked out the car window. It's Monday now. He sighed. Today there are many meetings with clients.
“Prepare all my schedule.”
“Good, Boss.”
