Like Rubbish

Chapters 11.

Andini continued to slowly step with a heavy heart. Not because he still wants to live with the three cruel people, but the way out of the house that makes his legs feel heavy.

The girl went down the deserted street. In the middle of the night like this, at a time when everyone might already be in dreamland. I don't know where he's going to walk ? to be sure, he had to keep away from that damned house.

His eyes were combing through every building he passed. Almost everything is dark. Only the street lights are on.

It's been an hour on his feet on the road. The pain and ache she felt was not at all. His heart was still bleeding beating the pain all over his body. Even occasionally Andini wiped her tears that always spilled every memory of the events in her life.

Andini is currently at a stop. He's sitting there alone. The night wind felt piercing his skin. The road is very quiet. Just a few vehicles passing by. What a cold night for a lonely soul.

The girl was pensive, staring blankly at the vehicles that sometimes passed by. Thought's dead-end. Where's he going ? there was no one else he knew in this town. If you go back to your hometown, it is impossible. All of his extended family would definitely not be willing to accept Early presence.

My life is really sad. I've lived in a city this big for years, but I don't have a friend I can ask for help.

Andini smiled crazily. The clear thread again flooded his shoulder face. The girl was very familiar with solitude and loneliness. At home, of course, there are no friends. In a school that is only until Junior High, no one wants to be friends with a girl like me. There was no chance to play and make friends, because he was busy with a pile of work in his father's mansion. Andini sure, if you had time to go outside the house, Ms Rahma will tell him to enter the cage immediately.

"Heyyy you guys ! I am human too ! why don't you guys want to be friends with me ?" he screamed as much. He hugged his feet back. Andini felt like she was the least considered to be her existence. No one cares about him. Only his late mother and bi Juju, also the man. Men are annoying but pay attention to him.

Why is that man I remember ?

Andini reached into the pocket of her belle shirt, taking out old-fashioned things that look strange in this day and age. However, that thing was very precious to him. Although there is no social media application, even no camera, at least Dini can drive away her loneliness by tuning the radio channel on the butut phone.

He just remembered that in his phone already stored Joseph's number. Should he call the man ? would it not be embarrassing ? but didn't the man himself tell you ? now that he is in trouble, it would be okay to receive help from the man.

Andini pressed the button to make a call to Yusuf's number. After five minutes of no response, the call was switched off. That guy must have been sleeping. Maybe tomorrow, then ? the phone is put back in your pocket.

He finally chose to close his eyes. It would be unfair if his eyes had to keep on spitting out water. Doesn't that part of his body also need rest ? Andini fell asleep still with a position hugging her knees.

The dawns of Andini's eyes blinked. He was looking for the source of the sound coming from his phone. Maybe it was the usual alarm he set. The old man's HP was already in his hands. Sure enough, the sound just now was the sound of an alarm. Andini. Just going to save the little thing again, the sound of his phone ringing again. Not an alarm, but a call came in Joseph's name.

Andini lowered her legs from the seat. Suddenly his heart was racing. The man called him this early in the morning blind. Dini was so nervous, should she pick up that phone call ?

"Huh..hello !" Dini tried to talk after pressing the green button earlier.

"Hello, An !" the voice across there made him creep. Not because of the strange call addressed to him, but rather there was a sigh that appeared in his heart when he heard the man's voice.

"Andini, are you okay ? hola.....An !"

"Ha..hello ! why call me An ? that sounds foreign, just call Dini !" his voice weakened as his body trembled.

"Your name is Andini, so it shouldn't matter if I call you An. I think it's sweeter. Are you having a problem ? I saw the notification on my phone. There was an incoming call from your number a few hours ago."

"I'm sorry, actually, I do need help. If you are busy, then no need. I don't want to bother you."

"Say, what's wrong with you ? where is it now ? you're not home, are you ?! are you on the highway ? I heard the vehicle." Joseph's voice panicked.

"I.at the bus stop."

"I'll be there as soon as I can. Don't go anywhere before I get to !" phone calls are switched off.

Andini put the phone back in her shirt pocket. He sat back and pensive. It was really strange, that foreign man who had only met him a few times, so panicked to hear himself being outside the house. Whether he realized it or not, his heart had been touched by the kindness of the man named Joseph.

***

A lot of people are at the stop. The streets are also crowded by passing vehicles. The city was again busy with the activities of the people. Joseph stopped his car after his eyes caught the figure of Andini sitting waiting for him. He called the girl's number back and told her to get in the car.

Andini's eyes were fixed towards the car that stopped in front of the stop. Slowly he approached. The phone is still in his ear. "Hello, are you inside ? I was afraid I was wrong to get in the car. Your car seems different from the car I was riding in." He stared at the windshield of the car in front of him.

Slowly the window of the car opened and revealed a beautiful figure in it. Andini until glared at the man who felt increasingly sexy in his eyes.

"Road up !" the glass was closed again.

Andini keeps her phone in her pocket. He immediately opened the car door and entered, sitting in the front seat side by side with the kind-hearted man. At first the girl thought Joseph was a bitch, but now she thinks that Joseph is actually good.

"Sorry, I've been a hassle. Are you going to work ?" Andini asked without looking.

"Yes, I have to go to the office. But no problem, I'll take care of you first. Tell me, why are you at the stop ?"

"We'll find a place to eat first. I know you're starving. Your stomach is singing." Joseph smiled a little.

Andini held her stomach, indeed from waiting for Joseph, her stomach felt sore. But why did the man next to her have to hear the sound of the rumbling ? though he thought Yusuf would not hear it, but it turns out that the man has super normal ears.

Ahhhh shameful !

The girl threw her gaze outwards, hiding her red face in embarrassment.

"Stop ! there's a chicken porridgeer !" Andini half-cried to make Yusuf brake suddenly his car.

"Why ? what is the porridge maker ? did it fall or did something break its wares ?" Joseph panicked.

"Ahhh no, nothing happened. It's just, it looks like the porridge is good because many buy." Andini grinned while looking down.

The girl squeezed his fingers. It's stupid what he just did. So happy to see the porridgeist, he wanted to stop the car he was riding in. Walk towards the wagon and order the food that had been her favorite since childhood. If he had the money, it would not matter, but there was currently not a single coin in his bag. Want to ask for mercy from the man next to her ? it was so embarrassing and not knowing.

Joseph can catch what exactly the cute but cute girl wants. He re-applied his car to find a nearby parking lot. After parking the car, Yusuf took Andini down and followed him. They walked to where the porridge cart had been.

"Why did you bring me here ? this is the porridgeman I was talking about ?" Dini aligns her steps.

"I'm curious to try it. You said a lot of people buy, which means it's good."

Upon Joseph's arrival to the place, all pairs of eyes looked at him in amazement and wonder. Handsome guy and definitely from the upper class why can stop by there ? are rich people tired of eating in restaurants or something ?

Joseph did not care about them. He looked at the girl who was currently watching the buyers eating there. It seemed like the girl wanted to quickly devour the porridge. Perhaps his saliva had dripped a lot.

A middle-aged man approached the two and bowed politely. "Sorry sir, can I help you ?" he thought a man who looked like Joseph would not be able to snack in his place. Maybe the rich man just wanted to ask for an address.

"Sir, please make us two servings."

Jederrr ! is that really what he heard ? rich man orders his merchandise porridge ?

"Ba.baik. Eat here or wrapped ?"

"Just here." Joseph also wanted to feel the sensation of eating on the side of the road.

The father swiftly prepared two chairs for Joseph, wiping them clean. "Please sit down, sir. I'll make you a porridge soon."

Joseph and Andini sat there. The people who are still there, relentlessly monitor the movements of the handsome and rich man. What a rare sight. Some of them even knew Joseph.

"Isn't that Mr. Yusuf Hadi Wijaya, CEO of Angkasa Group ? one of the most successful young entrepreneurs ?"

"Like, but I don't think so. How could a man as famous as him eat on the side of the road. Especially in the company of a girl I've taken care of."

Two people talking. From a distance they watched Joseph and Andini. Fortunately, their words could not reach Joseph's ears because the two stood some distance away.

Andini felt bad about being next to that very conspicuous man. The appearance of the catty and chaotic is very different from the figure of Joseph who is full of allure. Moreover, those people were looking at him in wonder. As if to say, that girl seemed completely incompatible with a man as cool as Joseph.

Ahhh bodo very, the important thing is now I can eat porridge even though I do not know yet, will it be treated or will it have to be replaced ?

Orders are coming. Andini immediately devoured the food. He's like a possessed man. In a short time the porridge was gone. Joseph was so proud of it. He had not even eaten a mouthful as he was busy watching the girl beside him.

"An, haven't you eaten for a year ? or is it greedy ?"

"I haven't eaten this for a long time. So now I want to eat to the fullest until it's completely clean."

"You want to add more ? looks like you're after mine ! if you want, just order."

"really ? but, pay it ?"

"I treat. Just relax !"

With the spirit of the girl approached the merchant and ordered a complete chicken porridge with quail egg satay and also ati. He sat back down after getting what he wanted.

Joseph smiled in astonishment at the appetite of the girl who turned out to be bigger than his body. Just this time he saw a girl behaving indifferently, as is and not being so graceful.
