Conscious After a Treasure Depleted

Receive Salary

The next morning Mr. Gunawan woke up as usual because this morning there was a course that would be taught at the first hour while his wife was still slitting but he did not want to wake up because the annoyance still stuck in his heart because of last night's problem.

He went to the kitchen and hoped there was Tini who prepared breakfast but it turned out the kitchen was still empty. Finally he went back to the bathroom and got ready to go to college.

"What time is it, ready to go to college?" ask his wife who just woke up.

Mr. Gunawan just cleared his throat and grabbed his bag on the table and then left using his blind motorbike.

He stopped at Mr. Egar's kiosk to withdraw the money that was still in the ATM because his stomach was getting hungry, understandably last night only ate a little at the thing when Zarina was still at home he always regularly had breakfast. This morning, he will have breakfast in the school cafeteria before teaching time.

His storage at the ATM was also not uh because he had to finance three children at once who were still in college while they did not have a side business, just rely on salary alone and the wife's income has been agreed to finance household needs.

Meanwhile at home, Elis' mother was also dizzy because the food in the kitchen was only rice and there was no way they would eat rice without side dishes. He had to go to Mak Ela's shop to pay.

"Ehhh, the tumben of Elis' mother who came to the stall, usually Neng Zarina who always came shopping!" Mak Ela's pleasantries.

Elis' mother just smiled stiffly because she was actually very embarrassed to say that this grocery item would be in debt, he said, next month's payday will only be paid but the sentence was forced out of his mouth and delivered slowly so as not to sound to each other who also came to the shop for shopping.

Mak Ela recorded in the book a list of all the groceries Mother Elis and wrote down the total price in the last line. All of them amounted to Rp 175,000.

"Please, Mother Ela, the next two weeks I will definitely pay!" whisper before leaving the shop.

"Yes ma'am, it's okay" said Mak Ela kindly.

Arriving home, Elis' mother began to clean vegetables and fish, after which she cooked.

He was shocked when he glanced at the clock hanging on the wall and showed it at 07:30. It means he is late for school, while there are hours of teaching him in the first hour of class XA. He took a shower in a hurry and then left for school on foot because the distance from home to school temoat he taught only about 75 meters

Arriving at school he gets a reprimand from the principal and of course makes his vows red with embarrassment.

Today Zarina is very happy because it is time to receive a salary. Last night he made a list to regulate the use of the money he would receive.

When he got home from the office he immediately opened the envelope containing the money and counted it carefully. The amount is not the same as the amount received in the past. Is there a pay increase this month? Zarina wondered in her heart.

After changing his uniform he immediately went to his best friend to the boarding room to replace the money that had been used to pay the cost of transporting his goods from Pak Gunawan's house to the boarding house.

"Sorry, I can pay now! Yes, if not enough!" he said while giving money as much as Rp 200,000.

"No need, just now the person said, do not need to be paid because he said he wanted to help," said Erni seriously.

Zarina felt bad because it had been troublesome so she forced Erni to give the money to her friend who had been kind to her.

"Ohh, gini aja, I will meet you and then you pay directly to the person," suggested Erni.

"May, let me know when he's here!"

"Ready!"

He wanted to send some of his money to his parents who were in the village, but who would he send through? He thought for a moment and now he remembered that his sister had an account number. He rushed to the nearest counter after receiving a chat reply from Yudi, his sister then sent money of Rp 1,100,000.

"Tit!"

Zarina opened her phone and there was a chat from Yudi.

(Sister, the one hundred storm for me, yes!)

Zarina smiled.

(Yes Dek, but you must be an honest child, please withdraw the money now and give it to father and mother, I will call them for a minute!)

(Ready Brother!)

Zarina was very happy because she could send money to both parents even though only a little but at least the third month's salary was able to send some to the village while the salary in the first month and secondly he could not set aside in the slightest.

Not yet reached the boarding house, Yudi again contacted him with a video call. He immediately touched the screen of his phone and his parents were seen on the screen of the phone. Zarina's tears trickled down from being moved by their call.

Yudi only three days now has a mobile phone. His two brothers, Samsul and Gedi, bought the phone as a gift for his seventeenth birthday. For the past few months Yudi has always whined, ask to buy HP on the grounds that the object is needed to support the learning process at school and his two brothers also agreed to buy it as a birthday gift on condition that it should not be misused.

Alternately, Mr. Adnan and Ibu Dina spoke to his son and did not forget they conveyed that Zarina take good care of herself in the region of people.

They ended the conversation after Yudi asked for his phone because he was going to school to participate in extracurricular activities.

So happy, Zarina forgot to eat lunch. He did not have time to eat rice at the office because there was an urgent job to be done. He only ate two slices of bread to delay his hunger and now his stomach was just rumbling.

He opened the bag that was used to the office and took the food box in it and ate it greedily.

"Trd... Trddtt... Trddtt...!"

There was a call from Erni but the phone was left alone to ring because the food had not run out. He ate quietly until the ludes then he made a hand and raised his cellphone which still continued to ring.

"Hello!" sapana.

"According to this info, a message from my friend earlier that he is waiting for you later at 07.00 WIB at the address I sent on WhatsApp!" erni.

"Why don't you meet me here?" ask Sarina. She seemed hesitant to meet the man who picked her up two days ago because of her reserved attitude.

"Not to worry, he's a good person and maybe he wants to meet you!" Ernie tried to convince her best friend.

"Yes, I'll see him later, but please tell your friend that I won't linger there!"

"OK,"

Connection interrupted. Zarina took a shower and got ready to meet the driver who picked her up the other day to pay her debt.
