Jakarta In Today

Kopaja Driver

Warju who more than 5 years wander from his village to Jakarta has shown his identity and started a new page.

He also added a side routine after working at Warteg mak Wajem which is as a night kopaja, in addition to increasing income, Warju also to add experience, courage, knowledge and acquaintance. Where most of the passengers are Javanese nomads from every corner of Jakarta.

A sacred intention that Warju created from the cruel life of the city of Jakarta, made him confident to establish a gathering of nomads in order to change their fate, he said, and make a new family that get along well and help each other.

Even among the great Warju stunts, he once saved a middle-aged drifter who was beaten up by terminal thugs for not giving them a dime.

Seeing that the mind warju increasingly remember the events at the beginning of the footsteps of the region to Jakarta, without knowing anyone, without concern by others, pierced like a flea from gray hair.

Of course on the basis of that experience made Warju's heart moved, because he did not want to see people fate as he once did.

But in addition, his job as an assistant of the owner of the newsman Mak Wajem is a means for Warju to dig deeper information about politics, about the economy, even about job vacancies.

Where it is still the same as before every morning until noon when the radio is playing RI, I always remember dozens of comments from Mak Wajem and now the hot topic that is being discussed is the question of changing the new President.

"Who cares, the president wants anyone, as long as he can be wise here and wise here, not carelessly about power, all must support ." Mak wajem.

While the Warju still responded with the members, Bang Tamro still bang tamro, many years become porters of goods, indebted at the same time and the same portion, too, fried foods remember but do not forget the warju count it.

Sipping bitter coffee with half a spoon of sugar.

Bang tamro commented. "Where do you know, ju, it's gone ."

"But bang, still find acquaintances first, if already many who agree new I nyari place to often ngadain group ." Take it back a piece of fried tempeh silently.

"Good, you can have the noble intentions of the rich, rather than just being able to swear the government at will ."

Of course the comment insinuated someone sitting casually beside his radio, hearing the words of bang tamro, mak Wajem glanced with sharp eyes as giving a warning.

'Kalo Elu raved a lot don't expect Elu to be calm with a debt loe'.

As the picture seen in Warju and bang tamro, even after seeing the sharp eyes of mak wajem, the guts of bang tamro immediately shriveled and threw his face, towards the trash beside him.

"Ju inget, you're young, don't do anything against the law, your intentions are noble, do it and help your neighbor ."

Said mak wajem with his eyes still glancing annoyed at bang tamro, from the bad habit of Mak wajem who always commented on the origin of the government, sometimes Mak wajem's remarks can always motivate warju when confused.

"He Mak, "

"Inget tuh Ju, Mak wajem is an example of an example that often helps his fellow man, "Lick Bang tamro.

Upholding the name of Mak wajem so that eye glances are no longer seen bang tamro, Mak Wajem is one of the people who can be made an example, not about the habit of commenting as well as his eyed berating the government.

And behind the warju life that is getting better, also met Abah Jamroji, a copaja driver who has for many years rode an iron rhino behind a round handlebar and horn.

Abah Jamroji used to be called Abang Codet, indeed because there was an incision on his left cheek, but it was not the result of a fight with criminals and slashed his face.

The wound was only limited to the time to shave the bewok with a sharp razor, because cool to see the TV show RI a variety of marine animals, who would have thought the razor stuck on his cheek.

And take Abah jamroji to permak levis instead of to the hospital, but just because a codetan wound it makes his name sangar and many are surprised when they hear his name in the terminal.

"Elu do not mess around aka Abah jamroji aka Abang Codet, can-can be razor stuck in the throat Elu ."

Once the answer from the ticket scalpers when they heard there was a person who asked Abah Jamroji's name bluntly.

But the truth is, abah jamroji is a loving, kind and very joking person.

The early Warju knew Abah jamroji because he was a friend of Mak Wajem since childhood, one village and considered a brother by Mak Wajem, even Abah Jamroji did not once dare to deny what Mak wajem said when commenting on the government, only replied.

"It's Mak, but don't get emotional later the rheumatism relapses ."

Abah Jamroji's words are subtle, polite and respectful of Mak Wajem's words although sometimes Mak wajem never changed, until decades still carelessly when commenting.

"She, Ji, uh how's the Warju, it really doesn't work ."

"Alhamdulillah Mak, he is diligent ."

"Once in a while teach him to drive, hopefully could be the office driver later."

"He Mak ."

So respectful Abah Jamroji, even if described with the appearance of the codet is not appropriate to say but so, it is, abah Jamroji is a pure Javanese descendant who always respects with older people even though it is only a difference of 1 day after birth.

Indeed, such is the character of Abah Jamroji, no more than a servant of the prophet Muhammad who became the high end adab of his ancestors as a Javanese, even the first Warju who saw him full of fear.

But it is like being amazed by his character, sometimes also like wanting to laugh because of seeing the scary face of Abah Jamroji like wanting to cry when angry by Mak Wajem.

It happened when his wife complained that Abah Jamroji was difficult to wake up at dawn because he was busy playing the same gaplek with other Kopaja drivers to forget to pray.

After Abah Jamroji's wife Fatmawati complained, in the damprat was Abang Codet this one.

Three hours no more and no less, long sermons without commas or points, all words of wisdom and motivation are said Mak Wajem with his hands showing high up.

Warju with pity and funny feelings made him want to laugh, but in his endurance to stomach pain.
