The clock is still showing at 4:00 am, but Ayatha is already walking on the road leading to her workplace.
The air felt piercing like never before. Her hands were trembling, Ayatha had already turned off her phone, Ayatha was afraid that uncle would call her and she helped her back.
From a distance Ayatha saw aunt had just opened the door, Ayatha immediately rushed to her. Aunty looks shocked to see Ayatha from a distance, so surprised she even came to Ayatha.
" Ayatha, where have you been? you know your uncle called us last night, he was worried about you. What did that fierce guy do to you?, "Aunty seemed so worried, he said, until he held her cold Ayatha hand like ice cubes.
" It's okay aunt, I stayed at my friend's house last night, " said Ayatha holding her hand again, trying to quell her worries.
" Ah, very good, let's go in first, I'll make you some hot tea, will also inform your uncle, " said Aunt pulling Ayatha in.
" No need for aunty, I'm here to ask for some of my work, I want to go aunty, and please don't tell me anything about this, nor uncle, either, just tell me aunt doesn't know where and where I am now, " said Ayatha lirih.
" Where are you going?" asked the curious Aunt.
" I will go to the aunt's capital, there I will work fulfilling my own life, " said Ayatha smilingly.
" You're a very strong young girl.o.wh. for a minute, don't go anywhere Auntie will take your money first" Bibi said immediately into her house.
Ayatha looked around.Silent, the hallmark of her quiet little town, Ayatha would definitely miss this place, she had never once left this small town, yet this was the time, this was the time, He's already attached, I can definitely!!! Ayatha said in her heart to encourage herself.
Before long the aunt came out and hurriedly approached Ayatha.
" This, "Aibi said as she thrust the envelope at Ayatha.
" Thank you aunt, " said Ayatha took and opened the envelope, Ayatha look at the money in the envelope, why so much?.
" Aunty, this is too much, I only work a few days, " said Ayatha.
" Have it.save it.you'll go away, let's just say it's a little help from Auntie, besides over here you've helped a lot, a lot, let's just say it's a mother's gift to her daughter when she wants to go to a new place, "Aibi said she held Ayatha's hand again.
Ayatha tears wanted to drip, she was completely moved by what aunt said, she had never been treated like this, she saw aunt, aunt seemed to be holding back her cries as well, Ayatha immediately hugged her, she said, he only patted Ayatha's back a few times.
" Thank you aunt, this is so petrified, "said Ayatha wiping her already unstoppable tears.
" Together, hurry up and leave before you miss the bus, "Aibi said
" yes, Auntie, and please don't tell anyone I've met auntie and where I'm going Bi, " said Ayatha again.
" Surely, " said Aunt.
Ayatha looked at auntie deeply.she would miss aunty, she looked back to hold back her cries and immediately walked over, and several times trying to look at auntie, she just waved her hand, ayatha replied to her with a slight smile, she said, then steadily Ayatha walked forward.
_____________________________________________________
Sunlight disturbed Ayatha's sleep, she woke up and looked out the window of the bus. It's a pretty long journey of about 8 hours drive . Ayatha rubbed her eyes, actually she was still very sleepy.
" You just went to the capital?" said a girl beside Ayatha.
" Oh.eh.iya, " said Ayatha in shock to see him.
" Hey, I'm Risa, I'm also going to the capital, my house is there, "he said as he thrust his hand, Ayatha noticed, she's a petite, sweet and very lively woman.
" Oh, I am Ayatha" Ayatha said as she shook her hand.
" Wow, you have a beautiful name" he said, looking delighted.
And along the way Risa kept telling me about herself, she was very passionate about telling all that, she was from our mother, she went to school there, she went to school, she had just returned home to the small town where her grandmother was staying for a vacation and more, Ayatha did not listen too much to all her stories.
" Nah, now you, how? What are you doing there? "anyanya suddenly made Ayatha surprised and thought...right said Risa? He never came there at all.
" I don't know, I've never been to the capital before, " said Ayatha innocently as she was.
" ha? In seriously? Never been to the capital and you've gone alone unattended?" she said with a very surprised face, actually Ayatha was also surprised to see Risa's over-expression.
" Yes" said Ayatha.
" Wow, that's great" he said in disbelief.
" Great?" asked Ayatha.
" Yes, I always wanted to be able to go somewhere, alone without anyone watching me, I felt it was so cool, so he can't go home first, otherwise I would have gone home with him.You know it's really annoying if you're always followed by my sister, my sister is so annoying," she said with a very funny expression.
" really?" say Ayatha again
" Yes, really.. ehm...you have a brother?," he said again.
" No, I have no brothers or anyone," said Ayatha looking straight at me.
" You're really cool" she said almost half-creaming, making some passengers look at them, Ayatha just looked straight at the window, and Risa kept telling me about her, until finally he was exhausted and fell asleep leaning on Ayatha, from the story it seems that she was a child spoiled by her mother's father, because she was the only daughter.
" Ayatha, where are you going?" said Risa suddenly.
" I don't know" said Ayatha innocently.
" Then come with me, I have a boarding room that I usually use for hiding, you can use it for a few days or a few weeks," risa said while pulling Ayatha's hand towards a car near them.
" But, " said Ayatha stammeringly but Risa did not hear or care at all what Ayatha would say.
" This is my car, let's go in" Risa said with a big smile.
" But I want to go alone Risa, " said Ayatha Sungkan because she refused.
" Don't want to know, because here are a lot of bad people, see that father is creepy right? there are often murders here, " said Risa as usual with a very, very convincing expression.
" Is that right?" said Ayatha saw a father with tattoos all over his body, then he looked drunk, when Ayatha saw him, the father even saw him fiercely, Ayatha became more afraid.
" It's true, so here I'm the good one. Come on.." said Risa first get in her car while pulling Ayatha.
" Yes" said Ayatha as she followed him because the father kept seeing her, Ayatha immediately closed her door?
" Pak walk to an ordinary place" said risa told her driver to leave.
They immediately left the bus station, along the way Ayatha stared out the window, looking at the crowded streets, the shops that lined up.wah, subconsciously Ayatha continued to look around at the jade, completely like a village person looking at the city, Risa just chuckled at the behavior of Ayatha making her aware and embarrassed.
" Look at that, that tall building is the High Empire building, it is the tallest building here and belongs to the High group, they are the richest family here," Risa said showing Ayatha, who is the most famous, then they saw it the same way, saw the building that was all made of glass, so tall, even Ayatha could not see the top from the car.
" If we turn right, there is a good ice cream shop, when we have to go there, " said Risa again with a smile
Ayatha just smiled nodding.
Then Risa started talking about all the shops she liked and some of them passed by, Risa was very excited to explain, Ayatha just nodded, nodding, Risa also explained that the place they were headed to was usually used if she was irritated or bored at home, he says that no one knows it except the driver and later Ayatha becomes the second person to know where she is, she also explains that maybe both her parents already know, but they wouldn't bother him if he had already decided to stay at that boarding place.
All Risa's story and seeing the car that Risa used, Ayatha was more convinced that Risa was the child of the person who was, just imagine if she was angry, she had her own place for herself.
Before long they reached somewhere, when Ayatha came out, she was a little surprised to see the place they came to, this house was not a room, she said, it's a pretty big house if it's only occupied to escape.
" This is it, my safe house, is very beautiful right?," said Risa in spirit once
" Yes, this is your hiding place? This big?," said Ayatha in disbelief.
" Hu-um.. right..I like it here, it's quiet, right?, "he said again
" Yes" Ayatha said nothing
Risa immediately opened the door of her house, then took Ayatha in, Ayatha still could not believe she was living in this place just to hide, she could not imagine how big her real house was.
When Ayatha entered, she was more stunned, all this furniture was very beautiful. Everything looked really like a fairy tale princess house, the curtains were pink, the guest seats were white with pink flowers, even the walls are white with beautiful pictures of cherry blossoms. This is truly a beautiful home... Ayatha did not expect that a house like this existed.
" Here, here is your room, you may stay as you please, because now we are friends," said Risa opened a room, Ayatha entered and amazed, beautiful indeed.the bed is carved like a princess's bed in harmony with the dresser, the decorations are also suitable. This room is really like a princess room, or more like a Barbie room.
" I live here?" the Ayatha said not to believe.
" Yes, do you like it? I'm a loh who decorates it myself, it's my ideals to be interior design," he said.
" Well, this is very good," said Ayatha smilingly.
" Well, thank you, I've never had a compliment on this" he said very very happy.
" Why do you believe me when we just met and you let me stay at your house?" said Ayatha politely.
" Because you're great!! I like you very, very independently! I want to be like you, too" he said.
" So well "
" Yes, I want to take a shower, you have to take a shower, then we go to my favorite place to eat well.there's a nice noodle, too," risa said as she walked out and closed the door without waiting for Ayatha's reply.
Ayatha looked around this room again, a strange place... Ayatha immediately sat on her bed, taking off the jacket she had been wearing. Here he is now... um... why do I get help again well? Is my face too pity, so always get help from the people I meet.or am I just lucky? Her thought.
After taking a bath, Risa immediately took Ayatha to a place close to the house, Risa ordered two bowls of noodles, she said these noodles are very good, what else is eaten when it is cold like today. Ayatha simply nodded and ate whatever she ordered.
" Next what are you going to do?" said Risa while eating her noodles with vigor.
" I just want to get a job as soon as possible" Ayatha said as she looked at her mienya.
" Wow, so excited, " said Risa.
" Yes, " said Ayatha smilingly looking at Risa's very spirited behavior eating her noodles.
Then Risa started talking again, about her school, she went to school in a place that she thought was like hell, unlike the school in general because most of them were children of rich people, and they were the children of rich people, no one betrays each other sincerely because they are friends just because of their possessions. That's why she had no friends at school at all.just like me, Ayatha thought to herself. If at school maybe Risa will be a person who will have a lot of friends, because she is good and very good at getting along.
That night they spent chatting, actually the spirited Risa told him all about herself, and Ayatha was only in charge of listening, occasionally Ayatha smiled looking at the expressions made by the risa, he's a really fun kid.
