Conscious After a Treasure Depleted

So Fed up

Elis' mother and her husband were shocked and in disbelief when Zarina expressed her intention to move to a boarding house located not far from the company where she worked in order to reduce travel costs because every day must issue a fee to pay the taxi as much as Rp 10,000.

"Did your parents know about this?" ask Elis' mother.

"Yes Aunty, I've spoken to them" Zarina said.

"Trus, what's their response?" ask Elis' mother again.

"Dad and Mom agreed because he said I had enough of being a burden on the family here and they also left a thank you to Om and Aunt for accommodating me in this house and an apology because it has been troublesome," replied Zarina.

Mother Elis's face seemed disappointed by Zarina's decision. He felt comfortable for approximately two months because there is no need to spend money shopping for needs in the kitchen because there is Zarina that covers these needs. During this time he was increasingly wasteful to use his money for personal shopping.

That night Zarina packed her clothes into a bag because Erni had contacted someone she knew to pick up Zarina's belongings early in the morning before going to the office.

Zarina does not want alpa to enter the office even for a day unless in a state of illness. So he had taken into account the time to deliver his belongings to the boarding house and he could still enter the office on time.

After finishing packing her clothes, Zarina felt thirsty. He went to the kitchen and passed the family room.

"Not sleeping, Za?" ask Tini kindly.

Zarina stopped her steps in surprise and was shocked to hear the greeting from her cousin's sister who was not as usual.

"Here we go watch!" take Elis' mother.

Zarina was confused. Why not that seramah before? The turn was about to move, they just changed. Nah! I can't be influenced by them! Sarina muttered inwardly.

"Yes, I want to go to the kitchen and get some water" Zarina said, then stepped into the kitchen.

Elis' mother and son agree to persuade Zarina not to leave their home. All this time Tini also felt comfortable because he never again did work at home because everything had been given to Zarina. But if Zarina had left, she would have intervened automatically because they did not have enough money to pay for a housekeeper.

"Waduhhh, we will feel very lost, Za, if you leave this house" Elis' mother said as Zarina returned from the kitchen.

"Yes, Za, all this time we are happy because the house has become crowded since you were here" continued Mr. Gunawan.

"If Brother Zarina has moved from here, surely I am lonely because my father and mother are always rarely at home. Plis, don't go, brother!" rengek Tini.

Zarina was sick of hearing their words but she would not show them on her face.

"Thank you in advance, later I will often come here," Zarina said with a smile.

He was ready to go to the room on the grounds that he was sleepy.

Zarina did not respond again to Mr. Gunawan's remarks. He continued to step into the room to rest because tomorrow he had to get up earlier than usual.

It had been thirty minutes he lay down but his eyes were unwillingly imprisoned. He digested all the words conveyed by the host and concluded that it was all they did just to influence him not to leave the house because actually the energy and money is needed in the house this house. Om and aunty have a job but somehow they manage finances so that kitchen needs are sometimes not enough even before zarina works, often he just eats rice doused in vegetable water without side dishes.

He opened his cell phone in the hope that he would be sleepy and could soon sleep. It has been some time since he never activated his data and tonight he was re-enabled to read the novel as a bedtime.

He checked the incoming messages in the WhatsApp application before opening the Novel Toon application and there were messages from Erni and also from Pak Alga.

Zarina laughed in her heart reading a message from her friend who at length cursed her because her phone was not active when contacted and she remembered yesterday the same sentence that was uttered by her best friend when she met at the office's.

Next he opened a message from Pak Alga.

(Maybe your phone is off right now but I'm sure one day this message I sent will be read. Please do not torment this mind by avoiding when you want to meet or cross paths. I want to get to know you more and if you don't mind come to my room because there's something I want to say. A few days ago I went to your house but the one who met me was not you but a woman named Tini who looked like you and said you were nowhere to be found because you were busy working in the kitchen)

The deg! Zarina trembled after reading the message. Ever come home? Why do I never know? There's no way Mr. Alga has any feelings for me, maybe he's just a fad and I shouldn't expect too much! Do you want to reply to this message or not?

Zarina played the phone in her hand while thinking. Finally he came to the conclusion not to reply to the message for fear that it would interfere with Mr. Alga's rest hours especially now it is twelve pm.

He read once again a message from Mr. Alga and somehow his feeling flowery made a smile engraved on the lips. Ahhh, why am I like this? Zarina put her phone on the table and she tidied up the blanket that covered her body.

"Tin!"

His eyes were almost closed but his phone rang a sign of a message coming in. He became curious to see who sent messages these nights or maybe a house person who wanted to give more because he did not want to let go of himself to leave this house.

(Thank you for reading my message! I'll be waiting for you tomorrow in my room at break time! It's an order from the boss so don't refuse and don't forget to bring one of the maps on your desk!)

The eyes that had started to sleepy now returned brightly lit.

(Yes sir, hopefully tomorrow there is no barrier to enter the office. Good night and good rest!)

Zarina read once again what had been typed on her phone just sent to Pak Alga in return.

The message immediately ticked two blue.

(Thank you)

Zarina smiled after reading the reply from Pak Alga. He put his cell phone down and slept well.
