Jakarta In Today
Accept it
Jakarta besides a place full of cruel things like like like jungle law, who is strong he won. But here is not the power that is the benchmark, but who has the money he is in power.
Many people prostrate themselves as the footwear of those who have money, how often they lick the shoes of the rich, the generous pretender, that's the key to success to reap the benefits of change from their pants pocket.
And also including Jakarta is a city of change, it's not about building or electoral campaigns, but the changes of innocent people who do not know the world of demons, he said, within a year they could have become demons themselves.
Like a village man who always obeyed both parents, diligent in worship, not arrogant and fond of saving. It could change from the beginning not knowing what it is drunk and brand liquor, will be a coffee addict with four-seed toothache medicine mixed in it.
There are also, innocent girls, shy and do not know about makeup, lipstick or perfume. In one year understanding about all kinds of cheap cosmetic products that contain 99% chemicals attached to the face of a plain woman. changed the lifestyle of a woman who became like a biduan dangdut under a red light with a glint of ouchai eyes.
All of that happened because of lifestyle, association with his friends and curiosity that made them interested.
Soldiers had crossed paths with a classmate when his SMK first. He is Beny Sopiyan, the city is rightly called it.
Different from those who are village children, where sometimes their parents give a makeshift name, even as remember anything in the mind or looking for money to and fro, meditating under a guava tree until found a name for the child when he saw the old fried newspaper.
Sujiro Cristiano Robet Ramirez was born, crazy is the name, according to the father who gave the name because he wanted his son to travel the world.
Sujiro is like the Japanese name, Cristiano from Argentina, Robert from America and Ramirez from Spain.
Even though his father did not know about foreign affairs, because the most distant place he had visited was only limited to the next district when he met his distant relatives who were married.
But Beny Sopiyan, Soldier does not know what it means, or the meaning behind the name of the village boy, hick, look innocent. Where this one friend has the same fate line from most other Javanese nomads.
In the village of Beny, primayasa. Much more remote than the village where the Soldiers live is equally small at the foot of the hills, isolated by asphalt roads, dirt roads and still visible mud in the middle. From pebbles to boulders that stay waiting for heavy rain to bring rolling.
Beny's persistence to go to school brought him to SMK who gave scholarships to the poor in the village and also as an act of the government to eradicate illiteracy from the community.
Apart from the meaning of a name that has been given rice tumpeng, Beny's figure now turns 180 degrees, in the past at school he would cough when inhaling cigarette smoke even that from a distance of 10 meters. But now on his lips like in black paint because it is often smoked with cigarettes every minute.
Hair that has a child style obeying the rules with haircut cepak 321, now it is not because half his hair is long and half bald engraved batik style.
"Jakarta will leave us if we can't keep up with the globalization mode."
So he replied as Soldier asked about his new crazy-like appearance with torn pants and upholstered clothes.
Of course Soldier realized that this was the result of life in the city of Jakarta that brought his friend Beny Sopiyan to the steep current to the ravine called free association.
Who knows what God said, the two of them briefly chatted about the usual thing for a nomad in a reunion meeting, which was asking for work.
"Elu is the former best coy student, while this cave boro-boro can rank, just kkm aja already happy cave." That's the answer, with a bumiayu dialect mixed with jakarta sok kota.
The soldier smiled as it made him sound funny.
It's just, it's no longer funny when Soldiers realize that Beny is offending him. Studying 6 years in elementary school, 3 years in Junior High and 3 years also ended as a graduate of SMK students. Whether best or not, Soldiers feel humiliated by reality.
"So what is the ranking relationship with work, in fact in this world, being unemployed is bitter if lived. No matter the business of grades, no matter how good a math lesson is, it's impossible to use for a Selsman's plate, because all they need is the ability to make up stories." Askar replied with good and correct Indonesian words according to EYD book.
But a moment later, the one man gave the solution of the problem in the army's territory. He even laughed like a mock, but it was appropriate to see the current state of the Soldier.
The clothes that Soldier used smelled musty, cheap perfume that he sprayed out of the smoke and also the hair oil had melted to his head, bitter taste if he accepted the reality of the nomads' lives.
"Ok, if Elu is indeed a rather menginan work, tomorrow You meet the cave at the terminal kali deres."
"Do I need to bring a cover letter, CV, photo 3 x 4, and certificate of application."
"What do you do?, all of it is useless, let the Cave talk to the boss, You take care of it."
"Wahhhh great really are you."
For the first time Soldier used insider power while looking for work, but seeing Beny's appearance, it was certainly impossible if he was an HRD or something like that.
"Well... The cave has work now, you're ready for tomorrow."
Sipping black coffee from a glass like a thirsty person, giving a dime from the pocket of his pants and immediately go and it is also still lacking.
Walking back to the contract, Narmo still sat meditated with a dreamy face staring at a poster that became the relic of the previous owner.
Avril Lavigne, yes even though soldiers are villagers, but she also knows a little about famous songs inside and abroad.
But what makes Narmo even more strange, he suddenly just hummed the song 'The essence of love', it is definitely not a song from Avril Lavigne.
