Part 7's

Day after day the two children continued to work hard until they finally got a wage.


"Son, we're going to the yuk market. I'd like to buy the same dress shoes, all buy cel4n4 d4l4m. From yesterday my underwear was - it was dry washing. Maybe if washed in the pool, the fish are dead." She whispered for fear of being heard by Jhony and her grandmother.


"Hihihi.. same! Me either. My CD also smells ******."


"Masa? You've been pretty cool all along. But inside, it stinks! Hihihi..."

In the market, they are busy picking out the shirts and shoes they like and bargaining until finally they get the right choice.


Then in a food stall, they pour out their hearts and their past.


"Son, this time I can change new shoes. Yesterday when I went to Jambi, I only wore sandals. And come here anyway, still wearing these shabby sandals." Indra said while looking at his joints whose soles had been thinned.


"Well, put the shoes on."


"Eits.. don't dong! Dirty later!"


"Eleh..eleh.. lebay very! Shoes are bought to wear, not to store. Or you just fuck up your shoes so they don't get dirty."


Hearing his chatter, Indra immediately put on her new shoes. Then he said again, "When I asked for pocket money, my mother always said, 'It's good that I can give you some food. Than your father, there is no responsibility at all.' Just this time I was content to spend my own sweat money."


"Same. I'm also." Soni.


"I remember, when I was Junior High, so I could snack, I worked to pick up camp in the fields." Indra said as his facial expression began to be serious and sad. But innocently, Soni asked him back,


"Pollute men? You stole?"


"What's? You crazy huh?" Indra asked inexhaustibly. Then he said again, "I was paid 20 thousand. So after school, I went to collect candlenut so I could snack."


"Well, that's how life is, heavy! It hurts more to not have money. Aye right?"


"hey are. Can't eat well and buy new things." Answer Indra.


Then suddenly he got into his mind about Dani. His old friend almost tricked him in the rock field.


At that time, during the day, Dani asked Indra to borrow money on his behalf to the owner of the stone field where he worked.


At the break after they finished banging and breaking stones, Dani continued to speak to persuade Indra to borrow money on his behalf, because his own name was already defective in the eyes of the owner of the field. But the money was not for his purposes but for the benefit of his friend.


Because Indra had often been taught by his mother to be wise, Indra also told it first to his mother before acting.


At night, she approached her mother and asked. And her mother refused her out loud. "Don't! Don't be fooled! She's just like her mother, both cheaters. Don't get tangled up! I heard yesterday his mother borrowed money and gold from one of the neighbors. After getting it, his mother ran somewhere leaving no trace."


And it's true. The day after the inducement was launched, Dani was gone and no longer worked there. He left without a trace.


Hearing all the stories, Soni simply said, "Good! Good thing you're wise. Not bijaksini. Wise, the danger. It means your brain is shallow. While wise, your brain is far ahead thinking.

After they finished eating, they decided to go enjoy the various scenery there. The soft and comfortable feeling was so felt in his heels as he stepped. While his flashlights immediately he threw it out of the stall.


After being satisfied to have fun on the tourist island, they decided to return home even though it was afternoon.


The journey home in the afternoon was so beautiful, because the orange color that stretched widely in the afternoon sky. The atmosphere they use to take photos.


"Forward forward a bit. Look that way. Don't look at the camera." Soni exclaimed while looking for the right angle when he wanted to snap.


"Now, look at the camera. Smile well. Show me your teeth." Sally again.


He kept busy asking for a stylish Indra and took lots of pictures.


But when Soni got her turn to be photographed, Indra actually took her.


After getting tired of being an impromptu model, the two looked for a seat in the corner of the ship to see what the results would look like.


"Hey, why are the results blurry and dark anyway? Why doesn't my face look so clear?" Ask Indra.


"Well, that's because you're standing on your back against the light. After all, your phone is not an expensive phone with a good camera. Your phone camera is still VGA. So it's natural that your face doesn't look clear."


Then he looked at the other pictures, but none of them were good enough to upset him.


"Hey! How come only my teeth are shining but I'm black as a shadow?"


"Well, how do I know." Answer Soni.


While he was upset, Soni seemed happy because the photo that Indra snapped the pedestal, actually produced a good picture and background. "Haha... My picture is even better than yours. If the original was handsome, photographed must be handsome." He said in a satirical tone.


But Indra did not subvert his insinuation and went into the ship, sat down, and slept until the ship docked.

When they arrived at the port, heavy rain accompanied by strong winds suddenly fell. The details of the water that fell to the earth, felt like a sharp whip that was ready to bulldoze the skin. Even so, they still chose to go home.


Along the way, their faces and heads were unceasingly under attack. "NO!... OH..HHHHHHHHHH...! NO...!" The sound of falling rain grains whipping their heads, sounded like the sound of marbles being thrown to the floor. So strong and sick. It was getting painful because their heads were without helmet protection.


"I think my head is leaking!" Soni cried out strongly. Because the sound of the wind blowing strong, reduce the volume of his voice. But despite sitting behind him, Indra could not hear him clearly.


"HUH? WHATDIDYOU SAY?" His shouting.


"THE RICH ARE BOTHERING AGAIN MY HEAD LEAKED...!" Shouted Soni again.


"WHAT? BANNYA LEAK?" Indra asked back because the voice she heard was not so clear.


"CHIEF LEAKING!!!" Shouts again.


Soni's eyes kept narrowing focusing her gaze on the dark and slippery streets while maintaining the balance of her motorcycle. As for Indra, he took cover behind his back and did not care what happened.


*********


Then after an hour of storm, they arrived at Soni's house with wet conditions.


That night it was 10 and physically they were so tired. So after changing clothes, they both immediately slept on mats.
