Love Zainab

Sofia

This special part tells the life of Sofia before.

***

The closet doors were wide open, all the occupants were out scattered on the bed and on the floor. An unusual sight occurred in a girl's room. Suitcase put it down, he's still confused which clothes to bring.

Tomorrow morning, he will go to the city to complain about the fate of being a household assistant. He was invited by someone he knew 2 days ago, when he was sitting on the terminal bench. At that time he was feeling frustrated, because he had applied several times to the company, but no one accepted it on the grounds that he did not need employees.

Quite suddenly indeed, decided to work to the big city of Sofia did not think long about the work he received. He was tempted by the lure of a large salary, despite only being a household assistant. It is possible that the homeowner is an elite class, so that a household assistant can get a large enough salary according to him.

The mother was very heavy to release her favorite daughter. For for him it is okay to be more patient, in order to get a job in the city where he lives. Staying far away will make him feel longed. Although Sofia will always contact him via phone.

To improve the living economy. He should still go. He did not care that he had just graduated from one of the universities. Surely most of his friends are looking for a decent and decent job rather than having to be a domestic assistant. Sofia said she was ready for the consequences. For him to make Mom happy and his two younger siblings can still continue school, is a big responsibility in his life.

"You sure will go, tomorrow." I don't know how many times he asked his son.

"Mom's feeling really bad. I want you to work around here." Connect again.

Sofia stopped her activities. "Mother don't worry too much, there Sofia will definitely be fine. I just pray, I hope Sofia is at home and her employer is good." Her widened smile melted the worries of the mother's heart.

"When you get there, call us right away." Message the spoiled youngest.

"Yes Nesya."

"When Sofia's gone, who taught me who to learn?" Tita put on her sad face.

"You can learn with your other friends. Mbak went to the city to work, for you to continue school, for Mother not to be too tired to sell a traveling cake. Ma'am wants our living conditions to improve, can pay off debts."

"Mbak just wants to see you guys diligently studying. Don't have negative thoughts. As long as you leave, take good care of Mom. Don't let me get too tired, so I don't get sick." It is long at length.

Tita and Nesya slam into Sofia's arms. For them, this was Sofia's first departure. Feels very heavy. They could not imagine the atmosphere of a crowded house would be quiet, when He was not there. The vivid images of sadness seized their feelings and hearts.

The mother who saw her three daughters hugging tightly, could not resist the pace of the warm crystals from both of her eye sinks. To him they were precious gems of anything in this world. Although not infrequently among the three had been involved in a fight, but in fact they loved each other.

"It's night, let's go to bed. Tomorrow you must go to school" the mother ordered.

Hearing Mom's words, they let go of her embrace. Tita and Nesya wiped the remaining tears that fell on the cheeks. Sofia also feels the same sadness, will leave the people she loves. But this is all just a while, after his life improves, he will return home soon.

The sound of a car stopped in front of Sofia's house. It was the car he was going to ride, apparently there were some other women who would complain about his fate in the same city.

"Sofia said yes, ma'am. Mom's fine at home, don't mind too much, you'll be sick. Sofia will definitely be worried and unsettled during her work there. Send Sofia's message to Tita and Nesya, so they don't always fight."

"Yes, Son. You also take care of yourself, always tell Mom. And your sisters will miss too." His message. The smiling face is now gone.

"Mother why?." Ask Sofia carefully.

"What about Mom's bad feelings?." Ask again convincingly.

Sofia knew that her mother still hadn't let her go. Though the sound of the horn has been repeated several times. But the hands of the mother, have not been able to escape from Sofia's fingers.

"May God always protect you, son. There you meet good people.". Do'anya while releasing his hands.

Sofia hugged her mother for the last time before she walked away. Mom kissed him repeatedly. He wanted to cry, but tried to keep her from falling. After kissing her mother's back, Sofia steps into the car. His hand waved to his mother.

At 20:00 p.m. The car arrived at its destination. Sofia is still not awake. The look on his face was so tangled and his unattached hair looked disheveled.

"Wake up, get up, let's get up. It's good that you guys fell asleep." Shouted one of the men who did not know where it came from.

Sofia and the others woke up, hearing that startling scream. Sofia blinked her eyes because of the glare of the lights. He and the others were asked to get out of the car immediately, carrying their own luggage.

The five of them lined up. And Mia, the woman who a few days ago met at the terminal walked forward.

"The five of you will temporarily spend the night here. Tomorrow you'll know each other's employers. About the salary I have explained how much range you will get. And if your service is good and satisfactory, your payment will be accompanied by a bonus. It could even be a bonus that can be greater than your salary." He said in a tantalizing tone.

Everyone who heard, including Sofia, did not believe Mia's words. Curiosity is still pervading their minds, actually what kind of domestic assistant job will get as lucrative as it is. Anyone who listened to him would definitely accept the offer without a second thought.

"I think you understand." Added.

"Come on Bon, get them all in." His orders were to a man named Bono.

"Let's bring your things, and come with me." Bono's orders.

The guy's face was a little scary. Sofia looked up at him, her nape feathers standing up if her grin appeared. The jet blacks studded with tiny hairs added to the man's horror.

Bono looked for something in his pocket, after finding the tiny object he immediately opened the door. The dark and stuffy aroma from inside the house, like it was rarely inhabited. Soon bright light shimmered to every corner, revealing the entire room.

"There are 2 bedrooms. You can share it yourself." Bono handed over 2 keys and also showed where the kitchen and bathroom were located.

Sofia and the others just nodded in mahfum. Sofia feels there is an oddity, why not go directly to the house of the person who will be her employer only. However, again his common sense forced to obey the orders of the mysterious man.

Sofia sat on the edge of the bed, having placed her luggage on the floor. The fatigue in his body was getting worse. His stomach that had asked for food rations had not been fulfilled.

"Whose name are you?" Ask the woman who will sleep in the room with him. Looks like she's the same age as Sofia.

"I'm Sofia, are you? Ask back.

"I'm Alina."

They exchanged stories about each other's lives. And the reason why they were determined to go to the big city to pit their fate for the future.

Geck, tok, tok. The sound of knocking on the door made them stop and look at each other. Sofia ventured to open the door.

Chequek. The door's handle was turned. It turned out that Bono was standing in front of him, carrying a plastic cane in his hand.

"This is your dinner ration." Offering to Sofia.

Sofia grabbed the plastic. "Thank you." He said, closing the door and shutting it again.

Finally the stomach that was just now filled with rumbling also. Even with a makeshift side dish at least it has stopped hunger. After eating He and Alina hurried to sleep, they could not wait to see who the master would be tomorrow
