JOBBING
[02] Meeting



I opened my eyes slowly–seeing the situation around me. "The room?!" I shouted while pulling my body to get out of bed and immediately ran towards the library room.


"There is! Haah .. thankfully it was all just a dream. There's no way an inanimate object can talk." I sighed as my hand rubbed my chest slowly. It felt good that it was all just a dream. I immediately took that thing.


"Not a dream!" chirps.


"Let's!" I shouted again to release the thing from my grasp, while my body reflexively pushed back and made me lunge down.


"Please don't faint again!" Further again.


"Yeah!" I was still screaming to see what was going on. I really can't believe any of this. That thing is now floating in front of me.


"Just as you please. I'm not gonna put you back in your room. Because it's not my job."


"Yeah!"


"Wasn't your boss? Just aaa, aaa, and aaa. Ah no! Not just last night, but since last night. I am tired of listening to it. Can't you do anything else? For example singing, wooo ho hoo .... "


"Tap–tap–tap–


"Tap–tap–tap what's Avlein? That's not a song."


"Where do you know my name?!"


"You introduced your name, didn't you?"


I beat both of my cheeks with my palms. Still can't believe what's going on. "Wake up! Build Avlein! Awake up!"


"Should I help as much as I can? You're not DREAMING!!"


I can't comment anymore. Because just now it made a very big sound. It was like a strong wind had just hit my face. It even made my library door slam shut.


"Are you awake now? Or should I help again?" slowly he began to approach me. While I shook my head quickly reply to that question.


"But what exactly are you? Why can you talk? And the most impossible thing is that you can float."


"I'm your direction. You still don't know what a clue is?"


"Compas?"


"Yes .. whatever you say."


"Is this really not a dream?"


"Do I need to help again?"


"No! Not necessary! But I'm talking the same ..." I was silent because I didn't know what to call him.


"Joba."


"Okay, Joba. You can talk and float in the air. I still can't believe this. All of this is impossible. Did you enter an invisible creature? Or ... Uh wait .... " I stopped my explanation of this impossibility. Because something very important happened here. Why am I just realizing it now.


"Don't it be the name of the grandfather who gave you to me?"


"He always used my name, if he met someone new."


"But why did he disappear after that? Are you that grandpa?"


"Haha ... Are you trying to cheer me up now? I'm Joba."


"Yes Joba or something, why is this happening to me?"


"Don't give me to anyone else!"


"Why? What reason? If you were just a bully in my life, I wouldn't hesitate to give you to someone else!"


"Wow don't be. After this you will surely regret what you said just now. Go to your room and under your bed there will be two rats that will eat the big loaf of bread!"


Hearing his explanation I did not comment anymore and rushed off towards my room. Immediately open the cloth that covered under my bed. Moments later it turned out to be true, suddenly two mice appeared who intended to eat a large bread. But what really surprised me was ....


"aaa! Bogi how is this? He's gonna kill us! We won't be able to eat anymore!"


"Quiet Bogu! We better take this bread and leave this place!"


Immediately I closed the cloth that covered under the bed. Without expelling the two rats.


"Well, how's Avlein? Have you regretted your words?" joba's chirp next to me.


"OK okay ... I regret what I said earlier. But why do I understand what they're saying?"


"That's because I'm with you."


"Hey come on, you just gave me an answer that doesn't make me understand the whole thing."


"That's Avlein's most correct answer."


"But all your explanations are not enough!"


"Quiet ... You'll understand it yourself."


"So you know the future too?" ask her again. "It's up to you to say what it is, but that's how I am."


After all the morning work I had done, I went to get my coat and went to the front door.


"You don't want to take me?" put Joba behind me. I didn't even think of taking her with me.


"Oh, you want to come? Okay, let's go." My reply went to pick up Joba who floated in front of me and draped her around the neck.


This morning I'm going for a walk. That'sallthatis. Because I forgot what to do after this incident.



Now I don't know why I'm sitting quietly in a park chair not far from my house. It's been about an hour. Don't know what I'm doing. People passing by just one by one. Am I just spending my time daydreaming?


"Quiet down! Soon there will be someone coming at you in a hurry." Suddenly, Bob started the conversation.


"You can also read my mind, Joba?!"


"Whatever you say .... "


I also listened to him–waiting for the person who will approach me that. Ten minutes later I started the conversation again.


"Haha, you're wrong, Joba. No one comes to me!"


"Tolowg! Helpme! You have to help me!" shouted a girl not so far from where I was sitting. It seemed like he was asking me for help, as I looked around there was no one from the direction he was asking for help except myself.


I began to move from my seat but he accelerated further until he stopped before me with an irregular breath. He clasped my arm and still asked for my help.


"Well come with me!" My reply was not to think too long and immediately led to my house. Why did I take her directly? And why did he go to my house? batikku.


Arriving at home, I told him to wait first there— the living room. While I went to the kitchen to get him a glass of water. Because there was no way he would not be thirsty after such exhaustion.


"Nuh ... Calm yourself down and explain to me what's really going on?"


The girl drank the water I just gave her. He drank the water as fast as he could and started talking to me.


"Thank you for saving me. I'm Vlivy. I was chased by two men with very large bodies. Because I have this!" Clearly taking out the same looking thing as Joba— put it on the table.


Going back no thought, I immediately took Joba out from behind my coat. Take it off my neck and also put it next to this girl's thing.


"Ooh ... I guess the same as I have, it turns out a lot of different."


"Because it's fake!" joba's chirp made me take a quick look at the girl. But he didn't suspect it. It seems like he didn't hear Joba's voice just now.


"Yes he won't listen to me. Because I don't want it."


"Yes right, the shape and color are the same, but there are a few different ones" the girl said. It made me refocus on what we found.


"Maybe that makes this thing different. But, why are they after this thing?"


"Content ... I don't know the reason either. My dad just gave me this thing this morning. He said I had to run to save this thing. Don't let that guy get it. And it turns out they found out I've run away."


"Where is your father now?"


"The last time I was with him was in my own house. But now I don't want to go back to that house. Can I be with you?"


"Whatchu mean? Nah! I don't want any women in my house!"


"Help me. Do you want me to die killed by that bad guy? Would you let a woman be tormented?"


I didn't answer the question just now. I just got up from my seat, took Joba and went to my room.


"Joba what am I supposed to do?" I asked to look at him who was already floating in front of me.


"Let her be with you."


"But I'm a boy and he's a girl. What would happen if we were both in this house? And it looks like he's younger than me."


"Help him, if you want to know what's really going on here."


"Why should I help her when I can ask you that?"


"You yourself, didn't you, who told me that everything I explained you couldn't understand? And anyway you have to be with her."


"But Joba, why a woman?"


"Well, that's your destiny. I can't deny the fate that comes to a person. Because I'm not the one who rules destiny."


"OK fine. I'll do what you say." I reply to go back to the living room. Once there I saw a small smile on the girl's face. Like I'm sure I'll let him stay with me.


"How old are you?"


"Sixteen years."


"Are you sure you want to stay with me?" He just nodded his head. "But I'm a boy and you're a girl–


"I'm willing to do it all, so you'll save me." The cut made me not return the words just now. I'd rather be quiet than her commenting that I don't want to hear anymore.


After that, I got out of my seat. I ordered him to wait here, because I wanted to take a walk. I think I need to calm my mind.
