"Master," Tania ventured to speak to Rakha for wanting to convey something.
"What's wrong?" Rakha asked without looking at it, his hands looking very busy pressing the keys on his computer keyboard.
"Tomorrow I've been working a month,"
"Continue?"
"I asked permission to return to the village."
Rakha was silent, not immediately confirming Tania's request.
Because according to their agreement at that time, every one month Tania works for permission to return to the village to see her mother.
"Yes, go. But I only allowed you for three days. After three days you've got to get back to this house."
"Good, Sir. Thanks."
"Yes." Yeah."
Tania is very happy because she has received permission.
"Remember, Tania. Your contract is still five months away. So don't forget to come back here."
"Yes, Sir."
***
Tania stuffed some clothes into the bag for her for a few days in the village.
"Ah, can't wait for tomorrow. I miss my mother. Even very missed."
*****
"Master, I'll go home first." Pamit Tania to her master who was already standing in the middle of the door. The man's face was the same as usual, cold and expressionless.
"You don't want to bring gifts for your mother, Tania?"
"Later I can buy it at the Terminal, sir."
"How do you get back to the village without money?"
"I have money, sir. The money you gave me."
"There still?"
Tania nodded. Rakha looks to frown. He's astonished.
"No, I think all my needs have been met in this house, sir."
"Here you take, here's your pay this month." Rakha thrusting a small envelope the size of brown money, the envelope was extremely thick.
"But, didn't you give me a salary in the beginning?" This time Tania was astonished and could only stare at her master.
"Take this as a bonus because you've done a good job."Answer Rakha.
Akhs! This guy's. He really does not calculate if the money problem.
With trembling hands Tania picked up the envelope that Rakha gave her.
"Thank you, sir." Said Tania, not only her hands .. her lips also quivered.
"Yes." Yeah."
*****
It was a sunny day, at 10am but the heat had started to pierce the skin.
The long journey is not so pronounced, because Tania so enjoy the journey, which she very rarely do. Because he used to spend time at home alone, and help his mother sell.
There is no time to just wash your eyes, or get together like most girls do. He was too busy for all of that.
Hours passed, hours passed,
The Village Gate is already visible, Tania will be arriving soon. Riding Ojek to his home.
*****
"Bang, can you take it to Jalan Pinang?" Tania asked a young man who was Kang ojek. Now he was at the gate of the village which was crowded by motorcycle taxi drivers and passersby.
The man then rushed down from his position that was sitting on the motorbike. Then he wiped his motorcycle seat. For a few seconds he looked at Tania's face. The girl was just silent in astonishment.
"Can, can. Yok, up." The man said kindly with a smile. His teeth are clearly visible. The face of this young man was familiar to Tania's eyes.
Wh who?
A tall and filled young man. Although only ngojek he looks very neat with a long white shirt. He also looks more conspicuous than the other Kang Ojek. Ahhh...
Tania got on the bike, and put herself as comfortable as possible behind the man. Very many people cheered them, and chortled. The man only smiled as did Tania who blushed in embarrassment.
The motor drove, towards Jalan Pinang. Tania's home address.
