Darkened

a different world

It's morning. I got up and got out of my bed.

As usual, I walked to my neighbor's bathroom.

Just like yesterday, even today I don't have any money to pay anymore.

I was so afraid of being caught by the owner of this bathroom, so I walked over with a little tiptoe so as not to make a sound.

Then, as fast as lightning, I entered the bathroom and locked it from the inside.

" Haaahh, thank goodness I managed to enter "I sighed while patting my chest.

" I have to take a quick shower and go "I said again.

Then as fast as lightning I took off my shirt and flushed against my body.

3 minutes later I was done, I eavesdropped behind the door, trying to listen to if anyone was out there.

It didn't sound anything, it was quiet.

Then I opened the door slowly, and stepped foot on my tiptoes again.

Suddenly..

" Hey, your image why, the rich street like that "The sound of reprimand almost made my heart drop.

" Ah mbak diamond, it's okay, I'm just afraid my feet are dirty "I'm relieved because it's just mbak diamond, next door neighbor who also often showers in public bathrooms.

" O yeaudah if that is so you are careful, do not fall yes cit" said mbak intan again.

" heye yes mbak intan "

Then there was the sound of a closed door, mbak diamond must have gone inside to take a shower.

I walked home normally, too ,

" It is also true said mbak intan, later if I fall will be a danger "murm me.

I headed to Bang Muis' house, as usual to take my sales newspaper rations today.

When I almost got to the house of Bang Muis I suddenly felt someone approaching me.

I was a little scared, because of the trauma that it was the person who would have evil intentions on me.

His voice sounded very smooth in my ears. From his voice he seems young around the age of 20 years and above.

" this man is very polite, there is no way he intends evil "I said in my heart.

" I'm sorry if you could hear what I said "the man said again because he saw me not responding.

" Yes, what is "my question.

" Look, I was looking for the house of Bang Muis who was the boss of the newspaper, I heard his house around here" the man explained.

" Do you know of Bang Muis' house ?" keep the man again.

" Yes I know mas , I happen to also want to go there , let me drop "say with a smile.

" Oh, what a coincidence, fine then "

I also walked in front as a guide. Actually Bang Muis house is very close, just walk a little.

Then I didn't feel like my feet were tripping over a rock as I walked. I staggered and fell backwards.

I gasped in shock, and was already feeling very scared.

Suddenly I felt a warm hand supporting my back.

" is it okay ?"

The voice resuscitated me, the man swiftly caught my body so that I did not fall to the ground.

" Thank you for saving me, sorry I wasn't careful "I said thank you.

" Mr here let me just hold, sorry is not meant to be presumptuous, but let's be safer and not fall again" said the man politely, holding my hand tightly.

Feels warm, and very comfortable in a hand-held like this.

I remember again, no one has ever been so gentle with me.

Then I smiled, and continued my steps towards Bang Muis' house.

Now we go hand in hand. I feel very anxious to know him. Who is this stranger beside me.

His hands and his words were soft.
