Dret.... Dret .... Dret, Erik's phone vibrates as Erik walks under the hot sun. It was from Mira.
"Erik, how'd you get the job?" asked Mira who loved her the most. He is confused what to answer because he has not been able to work.
"Mira, I'm sorry I haven't gotten a job. But will try." replied Erik .
"Where do you sleep? How much money you have left. I'm thinking of you here" he said.
Sitting looking at people and passing it all this time sleeping on the side of the road, even eating frugally. His clothes were also loose.
"It was that I could sleep anywhere, there was still calm Lah." he said.
Knowing the breath, Mira Sounded worried about Erik "Erik, come home already. Work in the village is okay." Mira.
But Erik thought if he was in his mother's village would definitely scold him. He also did not want to give up even though things were difficult.
"Calm down, it's okay. Don't worry so much. Yes, I want to find work again" said Erik hung up his phone.
Walking back on his way, his shirt was already soaked with sweat all the way he just drank. Seeing the people working on the project he also stopped."what I'm trying to work here just ya." his murmur.
He went to the project worker, "mas.., what do you want?," asked the employee who worked on the project, his age as above Erik. "Well, there are still job openings" said Erik while looking at people working.
Seeing Erik wearing a white shirt, he wondered why he was wearing a formal shirt. "Ga knows, but I asked ya to the foreman first. Why apply here.."while moving on to the project. "I applied for a mini-market job but it was not accepted he said not experience." Answer Erik.
Project employees laugh, "working in a mini market only has to be experience, indeed there must be people working now if there is no money. " Say her. Erik just smiled .
"Sir, someone wants to work. Already yes I want another task," said the employee who had delivered Erik.
The creepy-looking foreman, he was standing before Erik . "Have experience?," he asked, "not yet sir, but I am ready to work."sohut Erik while looking at him.
"I'm sorry, there's a lot of people here. I need someone with experience there to go." Expel Erik.
While walking Erik no longer know where to go? he was desperate to find work. "Will I just go home "though Erik thought as he walked.
The day went on from the morning he was looking for work yet to be able to, only to see a little money left to buy bread and water from the stall. The stand itself in the building that has not yet become looks deserted.
Dret... The phone vibrated, saw the message from mira \[Rik, you've eaten. I haven't\] Mira's message. \[I'm sorry, not to mention nyari but unfortunately all must be experienced.\] Reply.
Back to walking, soon night comes he also sits in a crowd while looking at people and passing by. Erik could only see while they were eating. His stomach keeps sounding just eat one loaf of bread he's not full.
Erik was seen crying while looking down he wiped his tears, had parents who did not love him, nyari hard work also he had nothing else but the provisions of his girlfriend Mira.
I had to sleep again at the store that night. While putting his hand in his pocket fumbled the paper Erik remembered his number Devi. He immediately contacted her.
\[Devi, this is Erik can I ask you\] send a message, while sitting staring at the phone. Erik awaits a reply from devi.
A little relieved, that was what he felt in his heart. See Devi reply \[yes it's just here. \] Reply, Erik immediately went up with a stomach that kept the sound he was walking in the crowd of the city. He thought living in the city would be easy to find a job but in fact it was not as easy as Erik imagined.
"Heh, where are you going? Midfielder's been banned from going in there go." The security guard saw that Eric would enter if he was kicked out, "my brother wants to meet my friend." Erik said, but the security guard couldn't believe seeing a dirty Erik. " San go, look at you're a jerk." Dawned.
He sent a message to Devi, [Dev, I'm ahead but I'm still bullying me.] Erik saw himself, and sure enough he was dirty, Smell .
"Erik.."call Devi she comes up to Erik, "sorry, come on..." While walking the security guard saw Erik and Devi enter.
Erik's stomach kept sounding, Devi who heard laughing "Lo hungry, don't eat?"while looking at Erik. Erik smile she's embarrassed . "Dev I'm outside just ya wait," saw Devi look beautiful.
Entering, Erik waits outside. "Rik, this is eating." Devi bought rice erikpun directly eat. Devi smiles seeing Erik eating voraciously. "Rik, this is 2jt money you're looking for boarding there. Don't sleep on the road. "While giving Erik money was shocked because the money was so big for him. "But it's okay, "that's okay."that's okay, that little money "said Devi like it's so small.
Suddenly came a guy who looks cute, his body is tall, clean using a big motorbike.
"Darling, what are you doing, who is he?" asked the guy like Devi's boyfriend.
"It's a pity to remember when I told you that night when I came home from work he was the one, Erik "said Devi.
"This elk Boby "Devi introduced me.
I smiled but Boby seemed disgusted at me. "Honey him, how rich the gembels smell again." he said. Erik immediately looked down "husss dear, don't talk so."sahut Devi defended Erik.
"Tell him away, I'm not strong." he said while throwing his face at erik. "Devi thank you yes I go first."Even go with a heart that is so calm after being helped Devi even though she was despised but she did not care about it .
Keep walking while you look at the city crowd, Dret.... Dret.. suddenly the phone vibrates when Erik sees a new number.
"Yes hello" said Erik as he walked.
"Erik, this is my father. Father Rik thinks about you How are you ?"ask Erik's father.
"Sir, Erik is fine. Don't worry too much." Legally. Erika was glad her dad called
"Yes, how did you get a job? The neighbor's father called." I heard dad coughing.
"Yes sir, you're healthy." Reply Erik .
"Thank God, you're fine, yes already if there's anything to do with this number." said his father while hanging up the phone.
Erik was forced to lie, he did not want his father to know that he had not been able to work. Continue to travel. See the skyscrapers under the rich eating while chatting and laughing. "When I can be like them" Erik muttered as he looked at her.
Sighs and walks back. With the money that Devi loves he also looks for a cheap place to live. But Erik also knew in this area there could not be cheap costs. Erik continued his journey.
Already walking far enough, he was surprised to see there are slums among the skyscrapers. It feels like 2 different lives. Erik saw them at work. Like peeling shells, also children who play without wearing clothes.
There's a rich man, but when walking here looks Kumu, erikpun enter he wants to know if there are cheap costs around here.
"Mas, where are you going?"ask the mothers who are at work peeling shells.
"Mom, I want to find a cost here if there is," replied Erik.
"Kalo nyari kosan over there, there is nothing here. "The female lead who looks young while pointing at the direction.
"Oh yes thank you," erikpun go, so the fishy smell of social inequality is so pronounced in the city. It looks like a lot of kosan apparently true many young people his age are hanging out their bikes work too.
As Erik walked in, people noticed Erik because of the kumel. "Mas, where are you going?"ask a young man . "You ask me what is here still accepting the sick." said Erik.
"I'm sorry, I'm not in a social parlour and I don't accept vagabonds either." They laughed at Erik.
Erik left with a wounded heart, tired of hearing the insults of many.
