Episodes 10

Dinda's departure wander in Cikarang.

In the morning at 5, after dawn prayers Dinda gets ready to leave for Cikarang. Dinda's mother had prepared breakfast for her. Before leaving, Dinda had breakfast first. A glass of warm sweet tea becomes a breakfast companion. Dinda finished her breakfast and finished her warm sweet tea. Dinda then went inside her room and picked up the backpack she had prepared last night.

Dinda had been carrying her backpack, and was wearing her socks and sandals. His mother and father and sister were preparing to release Dinda's departure to leave for Cikarang. After everything was ready, Dinda shook hands with both her parents and her sister. Dinda said goodbye to them, it made Dinda feel very sad. He had to part with the family he had been with.

Dinda walked to the front of her alley followed by her mother and father and sister. There was a pedicab boy in front of his alley, and then Dinda called him. The rickshaw is ready to take Dinda to the terminal. The terminal distance from Dinda's house is not so far away. Instead of waiting for the old public transport, Dinda immediately used a rickshaw as her vehicle to take her to the terminal. Once again Dinda said goodbye to her mother and father and sister. And the rickshaw on the other side finally made its way to the terminal.

Arriving at the terminal, Dinda saw the wall clock in the terminal. Time shows at 05. 45 minutes. Dinda looked around, Dinda had yet to see the whereabouts of Tini and her cousin. There was one who was sitting in the front seat of the bus payment counter. As Dinda walked towards the person, Dinda heard a voice calling out to him.

"Minda". Said someone who suddenly sounded by Dinda.

Dinda turned her head towards the voice, and it turned out to be the voice of her friend Tini. Dinda saw Tini walking with someone. A woman who looks a little older than Dinda. Dinda thought maybe it was Tini's cousin.

"Din's been here a long time, sorry it's a little late, waiting for the trouser to just wake up". Tini explained.

"Ga ko Tin, just nyampe, wanted to be the same person who was sitting in front of the bus payment counter. Eh gaunya there is a voice calling me, and it turns out you Tin". Dinda explained back to Tini.

"Ooh yeah, I've come down from the rickshaw I've seen you Din. So when I paid the rickshawman and his trickshawman to leave I called you right away". Tini said directly.

"Now what time is Tin, 06:00 in the morning. This bus socket is not?, but how is it still closed, Tin?, it usually open at what time Tin?". Ask Dinda after looking at the clock on the terminal wall.

"Yes Din, this bus counter. Yeah, it's still closed. Maybe soon, usually at 06:00 already open. We just wait for Din, the important thing is we are not late, usually crowded Din. Especially now, the school graduation season must be a lot of passengers who will ride this bus. This bus goes directly to Cikarang Din, so later it will be crowded". Tini to Dinda.

"Yes Tin, I don't know. Understand Tin, this is the first time I'm going to the terminal to go far. By the way, this is your cousin Tin, I'm Dinda Tini's friend". Said Dinda then introduced herself to her cousin Tini.

"Yes this is my cousin Din's name is Lilis, this is Dinda my friend. And this Dinda Mba is my cousin Lilis. Later the same Mba Lilis explained, but later when it arrived in Cikarang, is it mba Lis?". Tini said introducing her cousin.

"Lilis, I've heard your story from Tini. Yes later mba explain how to live and find work in Cikarang, but later if it has arrived yes Din". Said Mba Lilis while extending her hand to reply to Dinda's hand as a greeting of introduction.

Dinda and Tini and Lilis sat in front of the bus ticket payment counter. Not long after, many people came from all directions that had arrived at the terminal. They come to want to take a bus that will take them to their respective destinations.

Dinda, Tini, and Mba Lilis immediately got up and walked towards the destination bus. They stood in front of the front door of the bus to Cikarang. Many people will also go to Cikarang. They came to the front and back doors of the bus. Stand and wait for the bus door to be opened by workers from the bus. A worker came to open the bus door. The front bus door was opened, Dinda, Tini and Mba Lilis immediately boarded the bus. They sat in the third row from the front. Because the chair was only two, Dinda finally sat behind Tini.

They sit and wait for the bus ticket worker to give the passenger ticket. While waiting, Dinda saw people starting to board the bus they were riding. One by one the bus benches filled, finally until full is not left. Some arrive late, and eventually get off again in search of another bus. Next to Dinda is a woman whose age is not much different from Dinda.

The bus ticket officer came, saw the bench was full, the officer then gave the passenger ticket while asking for a ticket fee. The officers were on the bench of Tini and Mba Lilis.

"How many mba?". Ask the bus ticket officer.

"Three, me, this and this". Reply to Lilis while pointing at herself, Tini, and Dinda.

"240 thousand mba". Said the ticket officer while tearing three tickets to be given to Mba Lilis and then gave them to mba Lilis.

"Nih the money". Said Mba Lilis while handing over the money to the ticket officer, and received three tickets from the ticket officer.

"Thank you mba". Said the ticket officer.

"Yes, you're welcome". Answer mba Lilis.

Mba Lilis hands over the ticket to Tini and Dinda. Tini gave the ticket money in exchange for the money that had been paid in advance by Mba Lilis. And so did Dinda. After receiving a ticket from Mba Lilis, Dinda gave money to pay for the ticket.

They sat and waited for the bus to leave. Sellers of drinks, fried foods, sweets, tissues, and others came to sell their wares in the bus. The bus driver got on and sat in his seat. Likewise with his kernet sir, he also boarded the bus to see the bus passengers were already sitting in their seats. The checking officer was not left behind, he checked one by one passengers with their respective tickets. From back to front, all passengers do not escape from checking passenger tickets. After everything was checked, Mr. ticket checker finally went down. And he said all the passengers were in line with the number of tickets sold, and each passenger had his ticket. The bus finally left to walk.

Mr. Kernet bus closed the front door, and the driver began to carry out his duties to drive the bus we were riding. We passengers do not forget to pray for good luck on the way and arrive at the destination. The bus began to slowly leave the terminal, and eventually the bus began to walk on the highway.

Traveling from the city where we live in began, the walking bus will pass through several cities until it reaches Cikarang. Dinda who was sitting in a chair by the window only saw the street from the glass window. The journey, and the struggle to find a job will begin. From here Dinda hopes and prays that it will be facilitated and launched by God. All things are given to Allah, his life and death and his provision.
