I'm the Newspaper Seller

9. Activities Every Day

It was early in the morning that Bastian was already in the bathroom and getting ready to leave for work. As usual he would go to the newspaper master's place for absences and pick up the newspapers and tissues he would sell.

Bastian stepped in front of the mirror, tidied his still wet hair slightly and then touched the group of his eyes that looked swollen. Well, it's because of last night's incessant crying.

He certainly could not control his sadness. Especially when he saw his mother who was constantly hiccuping. Bastian hopes that his friends will not notice his swollen eyes. Shame if anyone knew she was crying.

For those children who like to cry are the children who are whiny and weak. Bastian didn't want all of them, his friends to think like that.

After a long time he wrestled with the mirror in front of him now Bastian decided to step down the stairs after saying goodbye to his mother.

Before Bastian left for work he had previously had to complete some homework, such as washing dishes, raking, sweeping, wash some clothes that have been used by his mother and also himself then the next task that he must do is to check the ingredients. Anything that is lacking in the kitchen such as rice, sugar, salt and much more is quite important.

Money is not too much so Bastian must be clever to sort out which ones are worth buying and which objects can be delayed.

Bastian stepped down the stairs, just now he wanted to step closer to Mandra's house not long after the door that the lights on the porch of his house immediately dimmed visible figure of a small child stepping out of the house.

Bastian smiled, it looks like Mandra today looks much neater, unlike usual who looks very dirty. Understand it is still morning and if you want to see Mandra become the dirtiest child then wait when he comes home from work because his entire body will be full of dust.

"You ready?"

"Yes, how are you?"

"I am too."

Mandra stepped down from his house after he closed the door and not long bkini Bastian and Mandra stepped together until in front there was Badrul and also Sodiq until they walked together heading to the newspaper master's assembly.

Coincidentally Joy also just stepped out of her house early in the morning while carrying her branded bag complete with her school uniform.

Yeah, actually, if you want to know that Joy always asks her parents for permission to go to school. There is no suspicion placed by both parents when Joy asked for permission to go to school at too early in the morning maybe her parents will feel amazed to see Joy who is so passionate in the morning they do not know that Joy left early in the morning not to come to school but she will sell newspapers.

I don't know if Bastian doesn't understand what Joy's thinking is that selling newspapers is more fun than studying at school.

The long queue is now back Bastian see when they all queue, it makes no difference when Bastian queues to provide the results of the sale of newspapers and tissues to the newspaper master.

One by one the children who are almost the age of Bastian are given several newspapers and a bag of tissue which if calculated the results of income will reach about one hundred thousand. There are quite a number of children who are members of the newspaper master so that the results every day are quite a lot of opinions that he gets.

"It's for you and the tissue. Today I want you to sell everything. Let's not have any newspapers and tissues left."

Bastian just nodded then stepped back after I got a few piles of newspapers and tissues.

Bastian did not go directly with his friends to peddle the newspaper and his knife but they all had to stand and neatly arranged into three long rows to the side.

Bastian and his comrades could see the figure of the newspaper master who was now standing gallantly while folding both hands in front of the chest just like the boss who was watching his men, who was watching over him, looks so brave and brave.

Yeah, looks like it's quite a match.

"Now before you go to find a buyer then all you need to know is the first do not introduce your origin to the buyer."

"I know a lot of buyers who will feel worship to you."

"The second thing if they ask about your family then just say that you don't have a family you're orphans."

"Third if the buyer asks where your house is then just say that you do not have a house and if you may say that you only live under the bridge. Understood?"

"Understand master," they answered compactly then after hearing those rules everything spread from all sides divided into several places.

Some child replies are placed on the right side, there are also on the left side, front and back. It's all spread out, pretty much. This is a strategy in sales no wonder if the income earned by the newspaper Master is quite a lot.

Today, as usual, Bastian peddles newspapers and tissues that he has been carrying crammed into four and two-wheeled vehicles and several other vehicles during red light stops.

Morning is the most encouraging time for them because the sun was not yet hot. It is too warm to touch the surface of the skin.

Slowly one by one however, not many end up there are some people who buy some newspapers and also tissues. It can not be ignored some people who give free money to Bastian maybe because he is sorry to see Bastian who has this appearance.

No wonder the buyers feel sorry to see the appearance of Bastian or also with his other friends, that's why the newspaper master always comes to his friends with a shabby appearance so that their buyers feel pity.

Yes, it can be said that this is also part of an act of fraud. Fraud to be able to grab a few pieces of red money is not much but, can make the selfish man smile big in his heart.

Sweat drenches the forehead and the entire body. The more the spinning time makes the hot sun increasingly blindly hit the surface of the skin makes the figure of Bastian again take refuge under the red light pole.

So exhausting.
