CHARM GIRL LOVE (CONGRAT)

Repeating the Past

I'm still quiet. Getting sick of listening to this woman's sweet mouth.

"Ra! You heard Mami talking, right?" I was still indifferent and focused on playing my phone.

Not desperate to get there, Mami continued to advise me with various reasons. But I'm still quiet. Still don't care about all his words. Many times he asked 'you why?' But I still didn't budge at all to respond to it.

"Eh, is Mami here? From there on in search of it too." The goddess came into my room.

"You've been worshiping?" ask Mami.

"Already, Mi. Just finished."

"Bas hypocritical," I murmured. But it can still be heard by them.

"Lho, still craving, Li! Haven't moved on too from last night?" The goddess returned to me. No, he's not a bully. He was just asking, but I felt that question was like my ridicule. I'm more and more upset with these hypocritical women.

"Yara, why was it last night?"

"Gini Mi, the story...." Dewi told the chronology of the incident last night to Mami. Mami who is poured and highly respected in this place only listen to the words of the Goddess. Until the Goddess told me about being carried away by feelings and robbed the objects they were using. If not wrong, the Goddess called it 'Bong'.

"Yara follow the meaning?" mami didn't believe it. The goddess nodded convincingly.

"Oh my God, Ra! What have you done? It's worth saying today that you're hard to tell!" mami yelled at me.

Not staying silent, because I felt cornered back like last night, I defended myself. "No need to be hypocritical, Wi! Pretending to be good in front of people. You did it yourself!" snapped flaming.

"Haha..." He's laughing at me. "Lia...Lia..., how is the nature of your door not lost either, anyway?" said chuckle. "I'm just ekting, you know! Let them be glad that I am willing to follow their will. Wouldn't they pay us for entertainment. No more than that. So our job is enough to just make them feel entertained so that they are happy. No need to be pretentious to everything, deh," he said cynically defending himself.

"Ngeles," I said, not to lose.

"Bloon base," he replied again. "But, why don't I get drunk, try? Not like you, to get up is hard."

Yeah, too, anyway. The Goddess as usual. Keep looking fresh and vibrant. Unlike me who might currently look moody and lethargic.

"Oh, yes Mi. Today Mami's scheduled to go to the parlor, right? Goddess of nitip yes!" My lyrics Goddess took something out of her pocket. Like a white envelope and gave it to Mami.

"You're not coming?"

"Not yet, Mi! The goddess needs a rest. Bring energy for tonight. He said the man who last night wanted to come back. That's good, Mi! Occasionally get a guest of the sultan like a guest of Mami!"

"That's what I'm asking for, Mi! So don't be a man." The Goddess orders Mami while pointing at me by pursing her sexy lips. Sexy, anyway. But a lot of bacots, nyinyir.

"Do you want to, Ra? Accompanying Mami? We will take a walk. Never have you been around Batam City?"

I who heard his offer was tempted as well. Moreover, during this city I have never traveled anywhere. No one ever wanted to take me on a trip. Though I see, they often travel a lot and even travel to get abroad, such as Singapore or Malaysia for example.

But, is. Who would want to take me. All this time my salary was nothing. Even some of it I have to send to pay the debt that is still piling up in the village. Almost every day, there are those who come to collect the same debt. While Bang Diki himself does not know where there is news. Hopefully he'd better just die, already. Let my status be clearer. Unlike today, it was hung.

"Do you want to, Ra?" Mama offered me back.

I nodded in agreement. When else would someone take me for a walk. Moreover, the same goes Mami who is famous and also generous. He's definitely going to buy it all. So, I just sit down sweet.

We arrived at a foundation or orphanage. There were a lot of kids gathered there. It seems they already know there will be guests coming to visit them. We are also welcomed by some of the founders of this foundation, maybe.

I thought we were going on a rickshaw. But my mind was wrong. We came here by car. And I didn't expect that Mami could drive either. Although this car I know is an inventory car from the company. But as far as I know, only Mr. Gontro often takes him. Mr. Gontro is the head of security at the place where I work. But not the head of security, but the head of a thug. He never wears a security uniform.

After getting out of the car, Mami gave some snacks parcels and clothes to the children. We were also on the road for shopping. I also chose the clothes we brought. His clothes are funny, anyway. Adorable. Although most of the ones I choose are only boys' clothes that range for a four or five-year-old. I thought Riki would wear it. How is Riki there? When can I take her for a walk and buy her a lot of clothes. Really, I miss him so much now.

About an hour we spent in the home. Mommy looks so dear to those kids. It was seen that he was very enthusiastic in entertaining and encouraging the children who were there. Not his son either. 

"You know, Ra! Why do you come here so often?" I shook my head, because he had never told me either. "Mommy's son used to live here too."

"Lho, Mami's son used to live in Batam? Didn't Mami say she lived with her grandmother on the island of Java?"

"Yes, that was when Mommy still had a husband. But after Mami's husband leaves with another woman leaving Mami and the children. Mommy has to work for her own living. So, Mami decided to leave the children here for a while, until Mami had enough money to take them home to the island of Java," he said with tears.

I held his shoulder to strengthen. It turns out Mami was a victim of the casting as well. Everywhere that actor is always unsettling. I also did not expect that Mami had a dark past. I felt guilty for ignoring her this afternoon. I'm really sorry for my own attitude. Like someone who does not know thank you, but has been helped a lot.

"I'm sorry Yara, Mi! It was bad to think about Mami," I said sincerely and joined in crying with her. Yes, now we are both crying in a car that has not moved from the parking lot of Orphanage. Lamenting the dark past that is hard to forget. Why do men always act selfishly and at will to women?

Is it because they think that woman is weak?
