Darkened

foreign land

I walk slowly. I feel the atmosphere is so quiet.

There is no sound of a motorbike or car driving.

" Isn't it still late afternoon, why it's so quiet ". I thought in my heart.

My hunch is not good, my mind is all right.

" May there be nothing" I said as I quickened my pace.

But suddenly I heard a voice like three men, not four, were walking towards me.

They stopped right in front of me, there was something behind me, next to me ,

they encircled me.

"What do they really want?"

" Hey you're a blind girl, give me your money"

said one man screaming.

I hugged my newspaper tightly, and the money I put in that black plastic bag.

" Didn't you hear ha , are you deaf too !"

yell at the others again.

" Please don't take my money, this isn't mine, I have to deposit this to someone else" I said.

But all the men did not respond to the plea, they all laughed out loud.

I'm getting shrunken, sweat dripping on my forehead as well as my face.

My body was shaking, I was really scared.

Then I felt a rough hand take my black crackle forcibly.

" Please don't take my money, please give it back ". I swung my hand in all directions, hoping to hold my black crackle again.

But the result is nil, I didn't touch anything.

I was crying and all the men who swarmed me laughed more and more.

" Halah money is just this much, this is really for gambling is not enough" said a man while walking away from me.

" Let's all go "take her again.

Then I felt it all move away, it all went away.

I felt it all around me. There's only me who's still crying.

" Why is it always my luck is shit like this "I'm crying louder and louder.

" fuck shit shit "my curse.

I cried in that place for so long. Until some people passed by, but no one cared about me.

My tears are drying. My head is so dizzy.

I walked slowly, because my head was heavy.

It was as if I was about to fall.

Finally arrived at the place of Bang Muis, did not feel my tears melted again.

" What should I say to him "I said in my heart.

I was very confused, until finally Bang Muis approached me.

Because he saw me silently staring while crying, not as usual.

" What's the cit, where's your deposit today ?" ask Bang Muis.

" Anu bang, that's the money uh.." I said nervously.

" You why the image ?" ask her again.

" Bang the money was lost , taken by a gang of men on the roadside earlier "I started as much as I could.

I'm so afraid Bang Muis is angry. I was nervous waiting for his response.

But after that, I think there was a warm hand that touched my head.

" Yes it's okay cit, today let's just say we are alms yes "Bang Muis so soft.

" I'm really sorry bang, I promise tomorrow I'll be more careful" I said slowly.

Then suddenly from inside the house Bang Muis came out a woman with a little run she approached me with Bang Muis.

I know, it must be his wife. His wife was fierce and angry.

" I'm definitely going to get angry now" I said worried.

" It's good that you're cit, say money won't change, just apologize, you think buy a newspaper don't use money ??" he screamed right in front of my face.

I slowly back off.

" You always tease my husband, so he's kind and forgives you" she said.

I felt an index finger tapping my forehead violently.

" It's not so mbak Lia, I accidentally, I can't do anything when the money was taken "my hands.

" Halah most also it's just your reason, lest they are your friends yes, so you can divide the money of the robbery was "mbak lia getting rougher.

He keeps nyerocos, makes me hear it not at home.

My head hurts more and more.

" It's been mah , it's been , it's not a misimage , he was also hit" said Bang Muis while holding his wife to not hit me.

" the image of you just go home yes, no need to think about the newspaper money earlier, it's okay you just go home and rest yes"

" yes Bang Muis "I passed by with shaky and lethargic steps.
