LIFEWEAR

AFTER A HEARTBREAK

The days we started to run normally, more precisely trying to be normal. All residents of the house are active as usual. Everyone wants to look okay. Everyone is always trying to put a smile on their face. Especially in front of my mom. Fake smile.

"Mak. I'm leaving." One by one grab Mom's hand while saying goodbye. A sincere smile was engraved on his face.

"Today I'm a little long home, Mom. Orders are many."

"Yes. But don't forget to eat."

"Damn...I'm not a kid anymore to be reminded to eat." My murmur.

"Mom knows you're an adult, but when you're working you're like a robot." He said while gently pulling my nose. I can only smile wryly. His words are right.

I also left after saying goodbye. I enjoy every view that nature presents this morning. Step by step I beat with confidence. Do not forget the accompanying prayer there that I said in my heart. On a clear day, the sun began to shine from the eastern horizon.

A group of mothers were shopping for vegetables. Uh! It was so bad to meet them. Their mouths are often thick. I accelerated my steps to avoid them. Yet....

"Eh...Risa's. Where's the rush?" Ask a mother.

"Mum's work." My solute. I forgot to throw a fake smile at them.

"Loved college? he said you were in college. Did it stop, huh?" Another mother chimed in.

"Your mother anyway.pake collegein kids all. I know life is hard." Saying the first mother.

"The ideal of a college boy, would be a tailor." The other mother's. Welcomed another laugh.

I'm so upset. My hands clenched and my face flushed in anger. I want to take it and kick them one by one. But I still have common sense to warn that acting rudely to the old man is no good . I took a deep breath and exhaled violently. I changed my expression with a sweet smile.

"I'm sorry, Mothers. As poor as my family, never owed me vegetables. Brother vegetable maker also needs capital Buk time. Buy jewelry can, vegetable time even owe?!Excuse me." I said triumphantly. I'm leaving too. Their faces look upset.

They think I can be intimidated?! Wrong big! maybe they think I'll act like a good boy on a soap opera they watch a lot. Huh! Live in the soap opera world.

Suddenly a fancy car stopped right near me. I frowned at me. Who the fuck? My face turned bright when I saw a handsome man coming down from there. I was a little surprised and happy, of course.

"Grand?!" My peek.

"Good morning, dear. Come inside." He opened the door for me. From the corner of my eye I saw her lips pout. Surely those mothers will be gossiping in the middle of nowhere.

"When did you come?"

"I leave in the morning. It's about 6 o'clock." He said holding my hand while his hand was driving.

"Your eyes are a bit swollen?"

"Then anyway? Maybe because I slept a little late last night." Riled. I rubbed my face with one hand.

"Don't lie. It's like it's been crying all night."

"No. It's because I slept for only a few hours." I put the sweetest smile on my face. I don't want Gama to know about the problems that are happening to me. Not for now.

"Breakfast first yuk."

"Breakfast dikios ya, I'm a lot of work."

She simply replied to me with a soft nod and a charming, gentle smile. We stopped for breakfast and a few drinks.

Upon arriving at dikios, I immediately deftly opened the door and hung cloth. This kiosk only measures 4x4, so I had to arrange it in such a way that I could display my work plus stitching materials. Gama looks busy helping lift mannequins.

"Thank you, yeah." My words shortly after finishing struggling with the arranging event.

For a moment we stopped and started eating the food we had bought. My heart is so flowery. Hope began to appear there. I hope I can be with this handsome guy.

"Yes..." I said on the sidelines of our breakfast.

"I don't look very eccentric. Time just wear the same shirt jeans said look striking? If I come with a kebaya, it's just a flashy name."

"I'm serious.I'm serious.you're funny." I couldn't help but laugh at her words.

"I mean your car is too fancy. I'm lazy to be the neighbor's talk."

"You're usually just talking to people."

"I can stand it, but not with my mom." I lowered my head while stirring my breakfast.

"alright. Don't be a dong manyun. Next time I'll come with a motorcycle Tuta aja.Mobil I'll drop in his place." He rubbed my head gently.

"Thank you." I got out of my seat and started working.

"I want good news for you."

I stopped my work for a moment and paid attention to his words.

"Late this week, I want to invite you to the opening party of my company branch in this city. I'll stay here."

My forehead wrinkled. I don't understand his words at all.

"So I'll make a branch here. And manage all my efforts from here. Let it be close to you. How's it? You likey?"

I'm just gawking. I don't understand the way this handsome guy thinks.

"Or Ah! I'm dizzy. It's up to you." I also resumed my work.

"Are you sure you got the building?" I asked again later.

"It has. The Bukit Asri housing complex."

I'm just a mangosteen. Inwardly can only be amazed. The elite complex. The rich are free.

"How about you open a business there too. Must be exciting."

"Don't be crazy. Where's got the capital I rented a place there."

"I bought it for you."

"Honey. My customers are mostly mothers with a lower middle economy. If it opens there, I won't have any customers. I don't want to depend on anyone else anyway."

"Include me? This handsome boyfriend of yours?!"

"I just want to succeed through my own sweat. Let me enjoy every process." I paused for a moment and picked up a stack of leaflets that read "Dee Taylor" which I put in the corner of the room.

"Rather than you harass me continuously, you better share this leaflet. So that my efforts are increasingly known to people. Understand Lovely?"

"If I buy a bigger stall for you? How's it? I think this is too narrow that.let you work more optimally."

"Mr Gama..It is better to just share this leaflet yes.once it does not remain not." I handed him a stack of leaflets.

"OK baby. It was so easy. Quickly finish your work. So we can spend a lot longer." He said while blinking his eyes. He also passed.

Not without reason I told him that way. I just want him to know me and my whole life. I want him to see what life is like. It takes a tough fight.

I also want him to know, life is not always about money. There are human values that cannot be replaced with money.

I hope that by distributing the leaflets, he can meet with various kinds of people from among like me.

"Life I live is not easy Gama. Look and see.Know Me and my whole life. Before we fall in love, it's getting deeper." I said in my heart.
