Since that day Indra began to rarely return to his boarding house. Many dirty clothes were hung on the walls of his room which all smelled.
There were also many cigarette butts found when her brother cleaned his room. I don't know when it was sucked. He doesn't know.
That afternoon after work, he soaked all the clothes and cleaned his entire room until it was clean and fragrant.
Then when he went back to his room to rest after cleaning the room, he saw his sister coming home. He looks like a thug. Black earrings, metal necklaces, and torn pants as well as hair that was pushed up, made his heart upset but could not be expressed because all the occupants of the boarding room were there, so he was embarrassed to be angry.
"Your room was cleaned. But you're the one who washes your clothes. That's what I've soaked."
"Yes." Yeah." He answered briefly, then went into his room and closed the door.
He left her and lay on the bed very tired.
*********
When he was hungry, he went out to buy food. She also went to her sister's room to ask if she had eaten or not. But when he opened the door, his room was empty and dirty from cigarette ash. I don't know when he left. He also saw that the clothes he had soaked had not been washed.
"Oh.
UHH! If I could teach you!" He nodded while clenching his hands.
*********
Then to the ice in the afternoon, he deliberately went to his sister's room to see if he had come home or not. But again he doesn't exist.
His clothes are still in the water.
It was left on for days until it stung like the smell of a carcass.
One of the residents of the boarding house there until the protest because of the smell, besides he wanted to use the bucket. Because the bucket he used to soak was public property provided by the owner of the boarding house.
Seeing the man chattering, he was forced to wash the clothes while enduring anger and emotion.
"I'm tired of work! I also need to wash my clothes! UHHHH...!"
He clenched the cloth furiously, and slammed it tightly.
The water was very murky when it was spilled onto the bathroom floor, and the people around him covered their noses and continued to protest.
"That's a hell of a smell!" Flush a lot of dong so that the smell is gone!" Speak to those who are going to the bathroom.

In the morning at the place of worship, his sister's master's wife came to him. She said her husband gave her a second chance at work as long as she apologized. Because he felt compassion for children who wandered from far away.
"Thank you, ka. I will try to tell Indra. He hadn't come home this afternoon so he didn't worship."
"Yes. Children of that age are still unstable and easily affected. At first, he was very diligent."
"Yes ka. Maybe he was affected by the same children who were on the edge of the rail so wayward. I've often told you not to hang out with them, but still not to be listened to."
"Mmm.. later my husband tried to advise him again."
"Thank you, you."
So when he came home from the place of worship and found his sister in his room, he immediately conveyed it to him. Thinking her sister would be happy, she refused. "ah! I don't want to."
"Why? Are you ashamed or afraid? Just apologize. You will not be scolded. You haven't apologized to your boss once, have you?"
"ah! I don't want to."
"Trus what do you want to do?"
"Is. Anyway, my friend will be looking for."
"Have you eaten?"
"Yet. There's no money."
So her brother gave her a little money to buy food that night as well. "Well, here's some food for you."
"The time to buy your food is lazy! I ate home from worship. Buy it yourself!"
"Ah.. I'm lazy."
"Yes already. Just keep you starving." Said her sister and went back to her room.
But inside the room, she was so worried that she finally went out and bought some rice wrap for her.
"Well, here! Eat up!" Said her brother while handing the food to his sister.
********
Day after day they share food because her brother's salary is not much. Even the rent for the room was paid for by the brother.

One afternoon, Indra was pushing a gallon cart of drinking water. Then he lifted them one by one to the top floor to each room of the people's order.
A person who saw her told her brother when she stopped for a while at the home of her employer's relatives. The man himself is his assistant. He said,
"Yesterday I saw Indra pushing a gallon cart. Is he not working with Mr Santana anymore, huh? I see him getting black and dirty. Not rich yet, pretty neat and clean."
Hearing that, he did not know what to answer other than just being able to forcefully smile. Yet deep down, he was actually pitying. If only his sister wanted to be guided, maybe he wouldn't be that hard.
When he came home and saw his sister, he immediately asked to confirm the truth. And it turns out everything he heard was true.
"Oh, that's so stupid of you. There's good work, but you're picking hot-heats pushing a gallon cart. Lifting gallons of water to the second floor all the way to the third floor. It's a tough job. You can go down the stomach for a long time. Look at how you look now! It's like a child who doesn't have a father or mother. You're a long way from Medan to here just to lift a gallon of water. You just need to apologize to your boss to get back to work. Yesterday I apologized. But the one who should be apologizing is, you."
"It's only a while until I get another job."
"Where? Any company would accept people without Izazah. Think it! How much is his salary?"
He didn't answer. Then her brother asked again,
"The salary is small, right? Just eating a day is not enough. How's your cost money?"
"W... ! That's enough to gather."
"Where's evidence? The proof is that I paid your cost money. Don't be so stubborn when you say."
"Yes. Aye." Yeah." The answer is disrespectful. Then he said, "There's a match in your room?"
"There? What's for?"
"My cousin itches. Take first!"
So his brother went and gave it to him. Then he sat on a wooden chair on the terrace near the roof. The room is upstairs. While on the lower floor inhabited by the owner of the boarding house.
There he scratched his itchy, dirty ears. But his brother had warned him to throw his trash in the trash.
She answered him by lowering her head while enjoying her ear-fighting.
But in the morning, when his brother was about to leave for work, he saw that there were a lot of discarded ear matches and scattered on the roof. Quickly he went to his sister's room and told her to clean it up so that the housewife would not get angry.
"Yes. I'll clean up." Say it with a bete face.
"Don't lie! Clean it up before you see it!"
*********
The people who lived in the room were disgusted when they wanted to hang their clothes.
"Who the hell threw away those old ear matches here? So dirty. There's a dumpster."
"That's Indra. Last night he had a match here."
"Crazy yeah. So dirty."
