I MISS A SIMPLICITY

part 3

One day after my arrival in Jakarta, I began to be taught the same mas rizal how to make a hardcase. The process turned out to be quite long, but not too complicated in my opinion. Starting from cutting plywood as the base material, arranging it into a box according to size, to coating it with a cloth as a finishing. They taught me everything patiently. Fortunately I caught it quickly, so once twice I was taught to understand.

Mas Rizal actually has two freelance employees who he calls if there are orders. People around here too. But since now the order is few, and there is me too, then they are not called. Instead, I'm the one who's working on it.

Just thought by me, if the story is like this is the same as I take the sustenance of people? There was an unpleasant feeling. But, how can we survive in this hard city of Jakarta if we do not take every opportunity? The important thing is that I don't rob, I don't steal, and I'm not fake, so that's legitimate. And that's the message that Rizal gave me.

Today is Saturday, it just so happens that Rizal will not go anywhere. No important business he said. So this whole day taught me how to make a hardcase from start to finish. And thank God, although not as good as others, I can already do it.

"Living tidiedihin aja, and dipepetin aja work,” that was the comment given mas Rizal earlier.

So cool to do this fun new thing, it does not feel like the day is approaching afternoon. Why do I find this job fun? Because every process requires calculation and accuracy that I am quite interested in it. Starting from measuring plywood and other materials needed, to calculating the estimate of how much material is used, everything requires precision and I really like it. I don't know, there's a kind of power alone when I can do it perfectly.

"You take an architect only ian, it's the size and image that you make is very accurate, it suits you. Especially you if it's a cepet, right?" advice from Rizal.

"Ah, do not know mas, see later, hehe, after all expensive is not the architect's lecture?" reply me.

"I said you don't have to think about the cost,” he said again with a bit of a sewot face but I know he doesn't have that fuss.

"Yes mas, later I think again, hehe,” reply me while grinning.

It feels so good today. It feels like this is looking for money. Tired, definitely. This includes rough work. Hot, dry, clear. I don't know why I enjoy it so much. Even Mba Endang told me twice to take a lunch break. The first one I ignored was because it was so cool. The second, of course, I do not want to be disobedient by not listening to my own brother's orders, even though in fact I am also starting to get hungry.

A tiara? He came to me and his father a few times to joke. Sometimes with nosy he even interfere with our work, but we do not take it seriously, instead consider it as entertainment and as a cure for our fatigue. Oiya, today she's off school. Like most schools in the city, their Saturday is off. Unlike in the village which usually enters until Saturday.

In the afternoon, after feeling enough, mas rizal told me to stop my work and continue tomorrow again. He said that the order this time is not hunted. If by any chance the customer is relaxed like this delicious, we are not chased by time. But if there are more orders and the order gives the target goods must be sent when, not infrequently mas rizal and his employees work on this hardcase until midnight. And it looks like I should also get ready to stay up until midnight if I get customers with such characters.

As soon as I entered the house I found that Ms. Endang was watching television together with Tiara in the family room. I want to join them. Mas Rizal, again smoking like that.

"Nikmatin mba, exciting, hehe,” answered me.

"Well, I don't forbid you want to work or learn to find money, but once my pesen yes ian, you have to continue school, I want you to be a successful person later. Happy mom in the village. Yep!! Know what I mean,” the message again.

"Hehe, yes mba understand,” reply me while grinning. Suddenly my gaze turned to Tiara who was aware of it turned out to be watching me from earlier.

"Eh, Tiara, how come you see that?" ask me confused.

"Om ian jeleek, dekil, the smell of acem, hihihi,” his teasing while giggling. After I noticed, my body was very dirty this afternoon. But naturally, after what I've been doing all day. Rese is also a boy, if you say so. It looks just like his father. Haha.

"Hahaha, you're the one who smells aceeeem, hasn't bathed was weeeek,” reply me joking. He stuck out his tongue.

"Hus, tiara!! ga may say that ah same om her, ga polite,” reprimanded mba Endang while glaring. Tiara just laughed in response.

"Ga what is kali mba, his name is also a small child, right tiara?" defend me to my only nephew.

"Iyaaa oommmmm..haha.but really jeyeeeek deh hihihi,”. I laughed hearing that. Haha. This is really a kid. It was designed but still cutecin. Mba Endang just shook his head to see the behavior of his son.

Happy mba this one. Have a loving husband. What a funny kid. His family is perfect. When am I? Haha, work hasn't thought about family yet.

After joking with mba endang and tiara, I continued my activities that afternoon by sweeping and mopping the house. Yeah, like my previous determination that I don't want to live for free here, so I do my homework. After a brief argument, I got some rations, mopping and washing dishes plus all the other dirty kitchen utensils.

At first I was just given the task of taking care and mopping. But I also do the dishes. If you wash your clothes, each. And I can't even wash my underwear in Endang. Cook, it's clear that's the main task mba Endang. We all eat well.
