Let Me Choose

Travel is not necessarily the destination

Flashback 3 days ago.

Sitting a woman in one seat of a night bus car headed towards Java. Without a purpose without talking just close his eyes and occasionally rub his face remove the burden in his heart that is increasingly chaotic and tangled jelimet .

Where does this car take it, and where does this bus stop last, there it will go down. Ride from the departure terminal by buying a ticket directly at the terminal counter agent.

The bus stops and in control at the official bus agency, passengers there are out to go down either to the restroom or just buy food and new passengers enter.

A man wanted to ask the woman if the seat next to him was filled with passengers, because he wanted to occupy it if it was empty.

The man just sat down because the woman next to him closed his eyes even though the car was stopped, for fear of disturbing better sit slowly, so that the, after storing the backpack on the top shelf of passenger goods storage.

The woman shifted more and more docked to the side while fixing her sitting position knowing the chair next to her was filling and sitting next to her.

Does it mean not sleeping, think the man may be drunk on the vehicle, or dizzy or maybe sick?

The car began to walk back at first felt slow but over time became stable, the man glanced to the side wanting to chat acquaintances and mince words just a lonely kill on his own trip.

Why is this a woman? that hurt? what is lazy is just greeting a traveling friend, just closing your eyes, but not sleeping visible from his movements, drinking, and closing your eyes again no matter who and whatever is nearby.

"Sorry Mommy, you're sick? or drunken vehicle?"

"Emght.I just got dizzy."

"You want a hangover cure, let it ease the dizziness a little?"

"No, thank you." short answer was a little sloppy.

"Where are you going?"

"Come away!"

"Loh!? how to go without purpose? moreover, this night until there later about before dawn Ma'am going to go where?"

"To the final destination of this bus."

"Where do I mean?"

"I don't know where my footsteps lead me there."

"Bak ran away from home?"

"Can I say that."

"Is there no other way but to escape, to leave aimlessly? another problem with Ortu? a boyfriend? what husband?"

The woman just smiled sarcastically did not elaborate on the matter. Open your eyes to drink bottled mineral water in his hands.

"Guardo, let's have a good chat, Rendra!"

The woman glanced for the first time, and welcomed the offered hand.

"Alya!"

"Where are you going?"

"I don't have a purpose, where is Rendra going?"

"I want to go home to see my family, as well as see my village affected by the eruption of Semeru some time ago."

"Do you want to volunteer there?"

"I'm not the guy there, he wants it that way but I'm stymied by my daily work and chores here."

"Indeed, this bus car is heading towards the direction of the disaster of the mountain eruption that was in the news?"

"Yes, when you Alya did not read it, was there a car manager?

"I got on a random bus and didn't see where I was going, which is important I get out of the house and avoid the quarrels of my parents every day."

"So you really left home?"

"Yes." Yeah."

"My mind was mumbling and deadlocked every day my parents were fighting to find a solution to my problems, and every time I went home was always crammed with all my positional advice in the wrong state but all had already been done."

"You're still in school? going to college? what's work?"

"I've been working, it's more appropriate to take care of my own business learning small-time business in the parent's mode."

"Sorry, if you may know, but again sorry! what problems do you face that are so hard to find a way out? because I think all problems have a solution."

"I'm desperate, I can't think straight anymore if it wasn't for this life in my stomach, maybe I would've done something desperate."

"Astaghfirullahaladzim, are you two?"

"Yes, I was pregnant without a husband, and without marriage, all my family was born because of this pregnancy, they must be ashamed, the disgrace that is in me, this, so I decided to leave the house also from their lives."

"Actually it is not the best solution even cause anxiety in both your parents, but all has already meant you keep this departure a secret? what's your next plan?"

"I don't know, maybe I'll isolate myself, try to be independent and want to give birth to this child and take care of it, even though I don't know what it's going to be like."

"It's not easy buddy, living all that, it needs mental readiness and also the cost of living is not a little."

"I'll try it."

"How about I offer you one of the best options in my opinion even though it might not be best for you."

"What's that?"

"So volunteer in my village to just help those in distress, while calming down, who knows you get peace there, our energy is beneficial also we can share with others rather than go aimlessly."

Alya was stunned, looking at Rendra beside him who was waiting for the answer and reaction from Alya.

Alya's heart was stirred, and was so interested in the offer of men who were only a few minutes in the know.

"Think first, I do not insist, I only offer, you seem to be in a state of instability seek tranquility there. There can get acquainted with fellow volunteers from every region, so many people who need our energy, who knows our energy can we contribute to humanity."

Alya was silent.

"I have a lot of volunteer acquaintances there You can stay where my parents do not need to contract, you can have daily activities there can even have income if you want, you can even have income if you want, ever studied in what field? can be allocated knowledge there as a food provider, as a health worker, to the teaching staff for children who are displaced in education, as well as, it can also be as an entertainer just storytelling for children who are traumatized by the calamity that befell them a lot of opportunities there."

"The rendra! are you the angel God sent me at a time like this? I'm so interested in your offer and I'll come with you even if I just know you."

"Haaaa.. mediocre Alya, I am an ordinary person who has a hobby of traveling since college, nature lovers, camping, mountain climbing, climbing traveling and also in humanitarian missions to natural disaster areas, such as, but now I'm limited in channeling my hobby, most Saturdays of the week playing badminton that too if you have time and want, if you want, my friends are already on the spread out of town looking for the meaning of his life and treading each other's fate."

"You work now?" Alya is getting familiar.

"Yes, I was stranded in the city of Tasikmalaya and enjoyed the real world."

"meaning?"

"I enjoy the world of work in solitude, waiting for what is never certain..."

What kind of work is a Rendra?
