My Life Light

Chapter 7 The presence of an angel

I pushed the body away, I ran towards the room to pick up clothes, "I have to go! I have to run away.I can't be here" my mind cried out.

when I came out of the room there was Dandi who was trying to help his father, he was shouting at me but with the rest of my strength, I tried to leave.

after I felt far enough away, I tried to rest, I entered a house that looked empty, at first I was afraid but if I didn't hide, I was afraid they found me, so I better be here.

maybe so tired that I fell asleep in the house, I woke up with a lot of mosquitoes biting, I shifted to look for the side that was exposed to street lights because the house was without lighting, all night I could not sleep because my stomach was hungry, even I forgot when I last ate.

...****************...

days change until weeks change weeks, without feeling a month already I was in the house, I survive the way I was in that place, I went out early in the morning, once, I saw a vegetable-seller mom who stopped not far from the empty house, sometimes I helped her take the vegetables out of the car and I was fed,sometimes I can eat from a stall not far from here,until I finally felt like I was hiding long enough and this time I tried to get out of the house and find a way to meet anyone, anyone I knew or recognized.

I tried to get close to people to find out where I was, but somehow they got scared and went straight away, "do I look like a crazy person???" I said in my heart, for there was no one I wanted to ask so I walked in an empty stomach, before night I stopped at a place that looked not too bad, I'm trying to straighten my body.

because of the long journey and the hungry stomach I slept in that place, it was like a coffee shop that might not have been open for a long time, because some of the stools were already quite weathered. I woke up when I heard a strange sound, a sound that like I often hear especially when I clean Dandi's room, yes.. that sound was like the sound *******.

"who is it.." call me, but there's no answer, I'm trying to self-animate myself, not to lose the noise, it's getting noisy, because I was curious I looked for the origin of the sound and was surprised to find a pair of barely dressed humans behind the building, I immediately hurriedly turned around and intended to leave but the woman called out to me.

"wait" he said to make me sculpt, "who are you? I've never seen you here!?" tanyakanya.

"i. I. I. I. my house is not far from here, I live with my aunt not far from here, but I want to move from that place because I'm a big one." my reason for the woman was not long before I heard a noise then followed by a long groan, apparently without me realizing the woman's hand was still behind the building so she only raised her body. the man came out from the back of the building and even kissed the woman's lips for a while and left, which is all they did in front of me, "the base of aji mumpung" he told the man, and slipped the man's gift into his bag.

"whoareyou? I never saw you at all! "

"i ran away from my aunt and aunt, I left without saying goodbye!"

"there will be no smoke if there is no fire! there must be something that makes you leave the place" he replied again as if he knew something had happened, but I did not answer him. "it's fine if you don't want to say it! come with me, don't be here alone, you'll be bargained for people" he added.

for a moment I was still stunned, between going along with not until he finally realized if I didn't follow him. "i'm a bastard but I won't ask anyone else to follow in my footsteps." he said it again when he saw me moving along.

hearing that I followed him, why did my feeling say that I would be okay to follow him. I came to a small contract that I thought was big enough if he lived alone,the contract is located in a place that is indeed filled with women women at night.

"you've eaten? " i just shook my head, "want to eat? " ask her again and somehow like a shameless human being I nod my head instead, she smiled when she saw me patting my forehead slowly. "it's okay." he said then took his phone.

while waiting for the food to come we talked a little, "what's your name?"

"me??? I'm Gia ka"

"i'm Risa..."

"sorry to bother"

"it's okay! I know what life is like"

"thank you very much"

"yes" he replied with a smile, the sound of the door on the tap risa directly out and take his food, "eat! " he said to Gia.

Risa sees Gia eating very greedily, she hides her smile because she misses her sister, does not feel her tears fall, hastily she rubbed her eyes walking towards the dispenser and took a drink for Gia.

"thank you ka!"

"just relax" she replied, "what if you stay here?" continued again.

gia's eyes immediately rounded perfectly, so he had thought about where he would be after this, but Ka Risa offered to stay with him. "could you?"

"why can't you?"

"sister is contracted, afraid it can't be the same who has a contract."

"iya ka. thanks ka"

Risa answered with a smile and left. Gia looked around, what should I do to repay her kindness, because Risa's ka is a pretty neat person, seen from the goods arranged very neatly.

...****************...

it did not feel like Gia had been at home ka Risa, the house became more crowded, full of laughter in it, Risa also looks more excited when leaving or coming home from work, Risa also looks more excited,because there was always someone who escorted and welcomed him at the door, he considered Gia to be like his own biological sister.

when they do not leave they will go for a walk together, to the night market or to the park, they are equally not like the mall or other shopping centers, so they just play both places.

unlike other people who feel aji mumpung, Gia always does not want to buy anything, whereas Risa always offers it, but certainly will be rejected, she just invites to play.

that morning, at about 2 am, when Risa came home from work she found Gia was sleeping curled up on the mattress, actually she was a little surprised because usually Gia had greeted him at the door, she immediately got an answer to her question after she entered on the same blanket as Gia.

Risa immediately opened the blanket and checked her sister's body temperature, hurriedly he took a thermometer to make sure it was really thirty-nine degrees hot,Although his body was tired he still took care of his sister who was sick at that time.

"don't cook" said Risa when she saw Gia getting up from the bed.

"but yesterday I bought it..."

"no, don't argue! " cut Risa.

"iya ka" he said, giving up and returning to bed.

That day Risa did not work because she took care of her sick sister, actually Gia was much better but Risa wanted to make sure Gia did nothing and just rested.

after recovering from illness, there are many restrictions that you make for me, especially for eating hours, because I am a person who always forgets to eat,ka Risa only allows me to cook 2 days because she thinks cooking will make me tired, the house is always neatened together and clothes all enter the laundry. Gia is very spoiled with Risa, their togetherness makes them share many things including their past, and their past,Gia also tells how she got there that night to make him meet with Risa, but Gia does not say what happened, that's enough she kept herself, he said,for some reason he thought it was just a disgrace he thought no one needed to know.

Risa told Gia a lot about her family and about how she got to Jakarta, because her whole family is in Malang, only she herself is in Jakarta.

the flashback

that night my mother and father had a big fight, my sister Silvia and I did not dare to come out of the room, we only heard the mother who kept crying and the father who kept saying 'can't mom! We had no other choice, ' then we heard the sound of the door slamming and from there we never saw the mother or father greeting each other, until finally the moment arrived,when I graduated from junior high school (SMP)

there was a debt collector who came and it turns out that my father sacrificed me to be brought to pay the debt, but my mother was angry she did not want me to be taken away by that man, I'm afraid I'm just being made into an outlet for lust.

the next day the mother tried to meet her friend to borrow some money for the sake of her son was not brought by loan sharks, her friend was Mami Luci.

"what did your son graduate?"

"just finished her Junior High"

"or just let him come with me to work in the city, later while I go to school. "

"just take it if you can, than here I can't connect the school anymore"

risa's story short turned out not to be schooled and reached the city, he was actually made a slave ****, at first he wanted to tell his mother about this, and he was right, but Aunt Luci her mama's friend always threatened her. Until finally Risa herself covered whatever happened here, making her parents do not need to know what Risa experienced here, she said,he also did not want to make his parents worry about him here.

flashback off

From our very accidental encounter, we became very close and kept one with the other. Risa also tells about her work that sometimes leads lives, especially if the clients she meets have a family, sometimes her wife comes to meet or her child who approaches and berates Risa.

his work like that does not make him instigate or invite Gia to do the same work as well, instead he directs the child to more positive things, even he had offered funds to make a restaurant because he thought Gia's cooking was very good.

but Gia did not dare, she only asked Risa's permission to go out while looking for a job, who knows if anyone needs it. make Gia Risa like an angel in her life who comes and gives many lessons and positive things.
