Conscious After a Treasure Depleted

Nimang Cucus

At 04.30 WIB Zarina was awake even though she was slow to sleep last night but the hours of waking this morning remained because she was used to it. He always woke up early when the residents of the house were still asleep in a blanket and they would wake up when all the work was done by Zarina and food for breakfast was ready at the table.

This morning he was still doing work in the kitchen until everything was done as usual and then lifted his belongings to the terrace of the house because Erni had reported that the person who would pick him up had gone.

Hearing the sound of the main door creaking, Mr. Gunawan woke up and while rubbing his eyes he approached Zarina who was ready to leave.

"Good morning, Om, I say goodbye first and please apologize to Auntie, Tini, Dawn, and Irfan for not waiting for them to wake up because they want to pick me up is near!" Zarina. He reached out his hand to shake Mr. Gunawan's hand and at the same time a silver car was already in front of the house.

A man came down to help Zarina lift her things to the car. The man was wearing a black hat, riben glasses, and also a mask. Zarina did not want to bother to know what the man's face was like because the most important thing is now that there are people who will take him to the boarding house.

There is a sadness that is depicted on the look of Mr. Gunawan's face to release Zarina's departure. How not, as long as the girl was in her house, she felt always cared for. Zarina who always makes coffee every time she wants even without being asked Zarina already knows when the time Mr. Gunawan wants his favorite drink.

"Thank you for picking me up and helping me to get these things into the car!" zarina said sincerely.

The man who picked her up just nodded his head.

Zarina got into the car and waved to Mr. Gunawan who was still glued to his place.

Thirty minutes drive finally the car boarded by Zarina arrived at the house of Ibu Leni. On the terrace of the house Erni welcomed his arrival with pleasure.

After all Zarina's belongings were taken down from the car, Erni approached the driver and did not know what to talk about. It may be a matter of cost but Zarina has asked her best friend to bail first because at this time she really has no savings. He dared to borrow because in two days they would receive another salary at the office.

"Thank you, driver!" zarina shouted from the terrace of the house when she saw the car that came to drive her had moved. He did not care whether the person heard it or not because the windshield of his car was closed tightly.

"How was the trip?" erni asked while helping to lift the bag to the room that Zarina would inhabit.

"It's normal, but the driver was very quiet, never once did he respond every time I spoke, he just shook his head and nodded. Is your friend mute?" zarina was a little upset.

Erni laughed at her best friend's comment.

"It's not mute but he's very talkative. Maybe because I just met a beautiful girl because when I met her, she was the most bar-bar guy," said Erni.

"Oh, yes," Zarina the mangosteen heard Erni's explanation.

After all Zarina's bears have been moved to the room, Erni and Zarina say goodbye to Ibu Leni because the time has shown at 07:30 WIB. Both were afraid of arriving late at the office.

Meanwhile, Algae who are already in the office feel anxious and want time to run quickly and hours of rest soon arrive. He wanted to prove whether Zarina would do his bidding or not.

Ten minutes before the break, there was a knock on the door and Alga was very sure if it was not Zarina because there was no way the girl would dare to leave her job before the break.

"Mother! What's the matter, ma'am, suddenly coming to the office?" ask Alga after opening the door. He was shocked and surprised because this morning when he left for the office, his mother never said he would follow too.

Gita's mother has not answered her son's question, suddenly Seyla appears to irritate Alga.

"Hey Aunt... How are you?" greet Seyla as warmly and as polite as possible.

Unwelcome by Alga, Seyla took Mother Gita's hand and went in and sat on the sofa.

Alga was increasingly furious to see the behavior of Seyla who always tried to find face in front of her mother.

"Alga, here sit dong! I came here on purpose because I wanted to see the extent of your relationship,"

"What relationship, Mom?

"Yahh, your relationship with Seyla, dear. I can't wait to nimang grandson because at home always lonely, no friends. Well, if you're married and you have kids, I'd love to have friends at home,"

Algae breathes heavily and exhales slowly. He wanted to protest with what was delivered by his mother but he realized, this is not the place because surely the edges will be noisier again. Free to challenge the will of the mother, so it's better to just be quiet.

There is a lot of advice from Ms. Gita for Alga who basically wants her only child to immediately marry the girl of her choice, Seyla because she thinks the girl is perfect. Seyla comes from a distinguished family, her face beautiful with a clean and smooth white skin, kind and loving and caring. That was Mother Gita's judgment. All this time he never gave Alga a chance to explain what Seyla was like in his eyes.

Unbeknownst to them, Zarina had heard everything. He stood at the door of the room with a map in his hand according to the orders of Mr. Alga. Her chest ached hearing the fact that Algae would soon be married to Seyla.

Long enough Zarina was there because there was no way he would knock on the door while Mr. Alga was having guests, until finally the bell rang a sign that the break was over.

He walked with gontai towards his room again while cursing himself. I told you, don't expect and try to live as you are by knowing yourself!

"Where are you from, Za?" ask Erni.

"Sir Alga asked me to take this map to his room but he was having guests so I did not dare to disturb" said Zarina.

"Ohhh," Erni responded to her best friend's answer and went into the room to continue the work that was waiting.

The Alga in his room cursed after his mother and Seyla came out. His meeting with Zarina failed again because the break hour had passed.

He wanted to slam the stuff on his desk.

In his turmoil he grabbed a cell phone and contacted someone and shortly afterwards Udin, the office's broomsticker, came knocking on the door.

"Lake in!"

Udin entered with a bowed sign of respect.

"So during the break, did you see a female employee who came in front of my room?"

"Yes sir, I saw the woman who was carrying the map and was standing at the door of this room for a long time,"

"Yes, thank you for the information and please come out!"

Algae back on his feet then scratch his head that does not itch. Zarina must have misunderstood again! Why is there always a barrier and a hindrance?
