Half Cinderella

Independent Living

The first day Ardella lived independently, starting from today Ardella will find her own money to survive, all this time she worked on her own estate, which she worked on, because of that Ardella is still confused how to find money out there.

Ardella who was confused went to Ririn's place, when Robin was also with Ririn, those who saw Ardella immediately greeted.

"Ella." Ririn

"Tumben you're this early." Ask Robin.

Ardella then briefly recounted the problems between her and her father. The story of Ardella. Robin and Ririn drift in the story and feel sorry for seeing the theme.

"Ardella is patient, don't be sad. We will always support you." Ririn.

Robin says he will help her. "Rubber. I will also help and always be by Ardella's side. Therefore don't be sad, Ardella is not alone, we will always be there." Robin said with a smile.

"Where if you come with me, we can work in the clove garden of Mr. Kahrim, in a week he needs people to pick cloves. The salary is not much but quite you have income later. I work there a lot too." Ririn explained.

The solution Ririn gave him was good. "Alright Rin, I'll follow your advice. Please help." Saut Ardella smiled.

"I'll help you later too, after I finish feeding the cattle I'll follow you." Robin Said.

"Thank you to Robin for helping me." Her smile. "Oo, yes Rin. When do we start working in the garden Mr. Kahrim." Ardella asked Ririn.

"We start work tomorrow. Remember tomorrow you have to wear a straw hat, long-sleeved shirt and pants, keep having lunch problems as I bring you." Ririn.

Ardella hugged Ririn close her cheek to Ririn's face and thanked her . "Thank you Rin once again, I'm lucky to have a friend like you."

While Robin complains because it is not hugged by Ardella. "I helped too, but I wasn't hugged. It hurts my heart." Robin with a faint voice.

"Here I hug." Ririn's voice spread her hands.

"No way, I want a hugy Ardella" Robin laughed.

Ririn was still chasing Robin for a hug.

"Haha." Ardella laughed out loud. "Robin is so funny, he wasn't asked to be hugged." Ardella still laughed.

Robin and Ririn are happy to see Ardella's cheerful face. They both laughed together.

When I saw Ardella's face, something stuck in Robin's heart. "I'm surprised, if you're the son of the landlord in this area, many people will ask.you're not ashamed." Robin asked with a serious face.

"Why should Rob be ashamed. I just work. Which is shameful if I steal." Saut Ardella spoke casually.

"It's true, too, just calm down as long as there's Robin. Ella will stay safe."

"Woii, that's a lot, a lot more." Ririn slips into Robin's conversation.

"I'm not a lebai, but that's the truth. You still remember when Ardella was bullied by a guy from another class. I came to protect Ardella." Said Robin talking lebai.

"Yes I still remember, that's why your face bonyok beaten." Ririn said.

"But Robin was so cool to face them alone." Ardella said to Robin.

Neither did Ardella's two best friends continue school. Ririn's family is among the less able, therefore Ririn has been working with other people to help her parents, while Robin is busy helping her father farm, after finishing school they rarely meet, while Robin is busy helping her father, but today meeting them made Ardella even more excited.

Next day.

Ardella left with great enthusiasm. It feels like Ardella has hope again, she will begin to determine her own life.

***

Gardened.

Ririn took the pole, then taught Ardella how to take cloves from the tree.

"Must. It's not too hard, but you have to be careful to get a flake of cloves." Ririn.

"You want to try." Ask Ririn back.

"OKAY. Rin kok clove gk want to fall." Ardella who tried to pull the pole stuck in the tree.

"His way is not to be directed in his bosom, later the pole is broken. Try to put it on the branch of the clove, keep pulling." Ririn teaches Ardella's hand to take her cloves.

Brakk,, the cloves fell to the ground, Ardella took the cloves and put them in the basket. Ardella who already understood took the cloves. He took the cloves with vigor, until it did not feel the day of the afternoon.

"It seems like it's late." Said Ririn while collecting cloves. "We'd better take the cloves to Mr. Kahrim's place." Ririn said back.

"okay."

They hurried to gather and bring their quotations. Mr. Kahrim who saw Ardella and Ririn coming, he helped lift some of the cloves into his warehouse.

"It's late in the afternoon, you can go home." Say Mr. Kahrim while giving their salary.

"Thank you sir." Ardella and Ririn.

"Either. Tomorrow you come again."

"Yes sir." Saut Ardella and Ririn.

Ardella who came home from the garden still had to cook, he bought vegetables and went into the kitchen behind. Back kitchen with makeshift tools, Ardella uses firewood for cooking. After she finished cooking, she cleaned up and went to her room, although Ardella saw her father, she did not say hello and went straight through her father.

After a day's work makes Ardella feel tired, to reduce her fatigue Ardella wrote her heart in a diary.

Mama,, Ardella is now growing up, what mom saw Ardella in heaven, at this time the father and Ardella are fighting pardon Ardella for fighting against the father, but Ardella is very dear father kok Ma,,, watch Ardella Ma. Ardella's longing for mom is huge but Ardella knows she will protect Ardella up there.

In the house there was no sound, dinner together was no longer there, morning, afternoon, night everyone was busy with their respective activities, he said, ardella's father also let Ardella live as he wanted her to think Ardella would not last long in her situation now.

Now Ardella lives independently even though not every day working but enough money Ardella for his own costs, with Robin and Ririn they struggle.

Sometimes Ardella also went to the edge of the lake near the port.there he was still waiting for Batara.

The way of life is difficult, to form pearls alone takes a lot of process, without a process of no results, although the pain must still survive to make a beautiful pearl.waiting for you is not a difficulty for me. your presence will make me like a pearl and make me valuable.

By : Ardella.

Poetry written for Batara in longing.
