Hope? : Between Dreams and Reality
Zero
The wall clock is at 11 p.m. The light of the sun is almost right above the head, then the tares of human activity back and forth enlivening the entire street was increasingly rippling in the streets.
However, a different atmosphere actually appears in the greenhouse. Right in that little alley, where doves fly. He appeared to be asleep, a young man in the house, wearing a t-shirt and his drawstring pants. It seemed like there was absolutely no activity that day. He's still fast asleep.
Maybe it was all because all night he was still staying with his friend, accompanied by a coffee and playing cards left at 3 a.m. I don't know what he was thinking, which obviously they didn't know at that time.
“There is no work, Mus?” he threw the playing card, the number 5 of spades.
“Alah Ro, I'm still unemployed.”
Throwing card 7 waru.
“Gini very yes, my school time, choose SMK, I think SMK is easy to find work, it turns out the same,” said Zero grumbled, he threw a card number 2 waru.
"Haha, lose lu Mus,” He put his hand into a cup of flour. Then cut it on Muslih's cheek. A form of stripes, like the character Naruto.
“Han, hit Han”, Zero said impatiently
“Boss Set.”
Rehan put his hand on the cup, then applied it to the forehead of Muslih, a form of konoha symbol.
The three of them laughed happily, there was no unpleasant taste for them at that time, although in every game there must be a win and a loss, but in their minds as long as they enjoyed it, he said, defeat is not something to be accepted.
So did Muslih, already almost dozens of scribbles coloring his face. Until his face looks bad. But he did not take revenge for it, he seemed to enjoy it.
That was how it was that night, they enjoyed the night with laughter and fun. At least, for them laughter is a way to cover up their pain, their misery of life, which really makes things seem meaningless.
However, it didn't last long. The night had changed with the morning, they had already returned to their respective homes. So does all the laughter that slowly fades away.
Return to Zeno, a young man who lives in a small green house, in a narrow alley no more than 1 meter, with a flying dove, and littering the streets with dirt that is difficult to remove.
He was still asleep, hugging his roll that looked worn. With a very messy bed sheet. His father and mother had left for trading this morning, at 6 a.m. They sell clothes. Until 3pm. The house is very quiet. His sister was in school, his eldest brother was a boy who sat in the 6th grade of Elementary School, while the other was a girl was still in the 1st grade of Elementary School.
Zero squirms, apparently his long sleep has ended, his face is still very sleepy, he sits for a moment. Look at the phone placed on the study table. He took that. On the table, there is also an album of his memories during high school SMK, he took it, opened the page in the night slowly. Each sheet looked at him with a sharp gaze, until he stopped on a page. He seems to be there with his friends and his homeroom teacher. It was a class photo.
“Huft,, heh.” He smiled lazily, then threw the album away.
He started turning on his cell phone, looking at the page of a sosmed. Suddenly 1 incoming message reads, it's his friend Muslih.
“P”
Zero observed it, lapse of a few blinks of the eyes, the next message came in.
“Ro, tomorrow send a proposal yuk.” Very short writing.
“Ok, what time?”
“do not be too early, 10 aja.”
“Ok,” type Zero short.
In short, that's how his days, since he first graduated from school he has not worked at all, maybe about 3 months. His life is endless without purpose. Even though before graduating from school he was a smart student, quite reluctant among his friends. But now that doesn't mean anything.
His teacher once said, “Life after you graduate is different from when you are in school, if you cannot adapt, you will only be useless garbage, the outside world is hard for you who are soft.”
And the fact that it was all true, now Zero and his friends just become the trash of society, reviled neighbors, so the talk of the citizens, even underestimated by the family.
That's their fate, even though before they graduated, hope was once passionate on the shoulders of classmates, some wanted to be a policeman, some wanted to be a soldier, some wanted to go to college, some wanted to go to college, some want to be PNS. But as with other dreams and hopes, they all enjoy dreaming too much, so they forget to make it happen.
But calm down, this is only 3 months where all the new journey begins. And at least, they are still trying to find work, at least so that they do not die in vain because they cannot resist embarrassment.
Zero rushed to take a bath, flushing his body full of saliva, but he did not have to rush anything to wait,
“Byurr”, the splash wetted Zero's body. After which, Zero fell silent, he sat on a squatting toilet, he daydreamed. Dreaming about something with her.
