That afternoon, Bayaman village was very hot, the weather was very hot.
Nagin is still busy looking for firewood in the middle of the forest. The wood collected is still small.
Nagin did not complain, he was still looking for firewood to sell to the market.
This is how the life of Nagin, the beautiful girl, noble heart and not arrogant, daily work is just looking for firewood in the forest.
Nagin only lives a kara. His life is very concerning. Not a little bit of maki that he received.
The people in the village always insulted and laughed at Nagin. But Nagin remained patient in dealing with the behavior of the villagers.
Nagin kept walking while looking around to see if there were any broken twigs.
The time runs until the afternoon, Nagin's hard work this time is very good. Can be sold to the market and can buy some necessities for the kitchen.
"Naginnn.." said a grandmother passing through the middle of the forest. Nagin turned his head and answered the grandmother's greeting.
" Yes, grandma.." Answer Nagin.
" Home already started late in the afternoon, it's not good that a girl is still wandering in the middle of the forest looking for wood". Said the grandmother. And Nagin rushed home.
On the way, Nagin meets his Aunt Mia. Aunt Mia is Nagin's neighbor. Aunt Mia has a bad nature, sometimes she is good and sometimes she likes to underestimate Nagin. It changes - change.
" Nagin....are you not ashamed, daily looking for firewood?? go to Nagin city, so you know how life is in the city. Don't you want to get married? have family?have kids? look at my son, Mooly. He is rich, has a beautiful and handsome son, has a good husband, his life is good. While you?you're just Nagin's firewood prospector. Don't you want to change your fate?, do you want your life to go on like this? you see Nagin, you are indeed beautiful, but is there a man who likes you? is it Nagin??wh why??yes, because you live poor, your work is only looking for firewood hahahahaha".
" Aunty Mia..how do I want to go to the city?I have no family in town. Where should I stay?" Nagin replied sadly.
" It's a pity that you Nagin, already poor, has no family. Well, if you want, you can stay at Mooly's house. Aunty will tell Mooly to pick you up at the terminal. Nagin, you live a kara, look for your partner Nagin, so that your old age will take care of you". Aunt Mia said with a brush.
" He's bi, I'll think. Thank you very much Bi". Nagin leaves behind his aunt Mia.
Nagin always thought about what Aunt Mia said. It's also good what Auntie Mia said.
Nagin the beautiful, noble-hearted girl lives in Bayaman Village, a beautiful and cool village.
There are many people living by farming, there are rice and vegetables.
Nagin lived a kara, his parents had long since died when Nagin sat in the bench of Junior High School.
To support his needs, Nagin every day went to the forest looking for firewood to sell to the market.
In the village, Nagin's age children have gone to school or college outside the city.
Nagin is the only girl who lives in the village. He has no friends. That's why he was always busy with his wood.
Nagin lived in an old house, which was only made of woven bamboo walls, covered with straw and covered with soil.
And lighting that still uses kerosene, even though Nagin's neighbors have used PLN electricity.
Because Nagin lived so hard, he could not afford to install electricity.
Nagin only has an old house left by his parents. If it rains, the old house will leak.
In the village, not many like or care about Nagin, because Nagin lives poor, many mocking Nagin even no one wants to hire Nagin to be a day laborer in their garden.
Let's see why people don't like Nagin that much. In the village of Bayaman , a lot of help came for the local people, but Nagin never got that help. He is always patient with the behavior and attitude of the people towards him.
Time passed and Nagin finally intended to go to the city. For a while Nagin would stay at Mooly's house.
Mooly is the son of Mia's aunt. Mooly has 2 children and 1 husband.
Mooly's life is so good, Mooly is so rich, her husband is such a successful businessman that Mia's aunt is so haughty. He always showed off his son's wealth.
Upon Nagin's arrival in the city, he was initially very amazed - amazed by the beauty of the city. Nagin hopes he will be happy living with Mooly.
However, it is not easy to live in someone's house, even if we know the person.
Nagin, the innocent and kind woman, was forced to work as a domestic assistant at Mooly's house.
It was not that he was treated well, but Nagin always received harsh treatment from Mooly.
Every day Nagin is always scolded, reviled, thrown with goods if there is a bad job in front of Mooly.
One day, Nagin was cooking food for dinner. When everyone sat down at the table, Mooly got angry and called Nagin.
" You don't know how to cook? or do you deliberately want to love us to eat with village food like this???" Mooly asked angrily and threw the bowl of soup on the floor.
" Mom? you said I mbak???I said, You call me madam. You understand???" Mooly asked while pushing Nagin. " Now clean this floor, no glass debris. And you remember, because you made a mistake, your salary will be cut this month. Understood???we're gonna eat out, get off you....!!" Mooly and his family left the table.
Problems that always come bertubi - tubi make Nagin can no longer live in the house.
Living in the city does not make Nagin more comfortable and happy but vice versa.
Nagin quoted the glass fragment as crying. Sometimes he sees the food he cooks.
He was very sad, his life suffered. There was only one woman left, no one loved her.
This month, 2x of his salary has been cut. He did not know if he could set aside his salary to be in the tube. He should be able to skimp. He was also willing to eat the leftovers - the rest of his master.
That morning, Nagin went to the market. He accidentally read an advertisement. The ad was looking for a housekeeper.
Nagin took the paper and went to look for the address. Nagin ventured to find the address by asking everyone.
This time Nagin could not find the address. Nagin kept the paper. If there was free time, he would go looking for her again.
That night Mooly and the family wanted to eat out. They wanted to eat at a famous restaurant in the city.
Mooly invites Nagin, not that Nagin can follow the restaurant. If Nagin eats, then Nagin's salary will be deducted according to the price of the food order he eats.
Nagin also prepares everything especially for the needs of Mooly's children. They also left.
On the way, Mooly always told Nagin, never order food or drink or a salary that would float.
After they looked for a seat, Mooly reminded back that Nagin had not ordered any food or drinks.
Mooly told Nagin to sit on the bench or wait outside.
Nagin could only resign, and he had to endure hunger and thirst. Nagin also left the restaurant. He can only stand like a mannequin.
So cruel was Mooly to Nagin. But all Nagin did so that his salary was not cut again.
But from a distance there was a handsome man who noticed the mannerisms of Mooly and Nagin. The man's name is Bay.
Bay who from the beginning had seen the arrival of Mooly and his family, really made Bay's eyes uncomfortable with Mooly's attitude towards Nagin.
Nagin's feet were tired of standing for hours. Finally, he sat down in the restaurant corridor.
Hungry stomach, dry throat, he must hold for a small salary. Bay called the restaurant waiter and told Nagin to be chased in and given food. The waiter did as Bay ordered.
" Good night, miss...! sorry if I was disturbing. Miss, please come inside, I'll serve you some food and drinks. Come on in, miss". Pinta the waiter.
" No sir, I don't eat or drink. I don't have the money to pay for it ". Nagin replied, sad and ashamed.
" There's no need to worry miss, there's someone who will pay for it. Come on in, miss...!"
Finally Nagin came in. It was unbearable to be hungry and thirsty again.
The waiter asked him what menu he wanted to order. Nagin was still afraid to order food, because he did not have much money, let alone the food in the restaurant was very expensive.
But the servant still calmed Nagin's heart. Nagin simply ordered a plate of rice and a piece of fried chicken along with orange juice.
It was the cheapest menu in the restaurant. He was still afraid, and asked. Why are there still good people in this city and who are the ones who have been kind to him.
Food is also served. And Nagin ate with his heart. Mooly and his family saw what Nagin was doing.
Mooly approached Nagin and asked where the money could be eaten at the restaurant, whether he was begging or how.
Nagin could only shut up and cry. He doesn't know how to explain to Mooly, he's scared.
But Mooly was always angry with Nagin, so the people in the restaurant saw.
"Nagin....! you can eat, so you can go home by yourself, right?? you eat fast and you go home. You take public transportation because we still have other business. Arriving at home, you clean the house until clean. Remember Nagin to be clean". Mooly. Nagin could only be bowed down and embarrassed by being ignored by many people.
Mooly and his family left the place. Bay still sees Nagin's situation.
Nagin continued to eat his food until it was gone. After he finished eating, Nagin went to deliver the plates and glasses to the waiter. And while saying thank you.
Everyone saw Nagin's actions. He was embarrassed and immediately left the place.
On the street Nagin cried. He was very sad because his life had to come like this. Nagin always hoped that he would be happy.
