My love is my first love
Koh Ahong's
Galih is still struggling with his computer even though the clock has shown at 12 pm and tomorrow he has morning class.
Born to a family that is not excessive, Galih's father and mother was a farmer on the mountain kidul. The life of the Galih family is very simple very far from enough.
Galih is used to looking for extra pocket money from small. In the past as a child, he had been a traveling cake trader, a newsboy, a parking attendant, a repairman and many more jobs that Galih had lived.
Being the eldest of 4 children, making Galih a hardworking and independent figure. He is not the type of weak man who gives up on his condition that is born not from a wealthy person.
From Junior High he never asked for pocket money to his mother and father. His mother and father only paid Galih tuition until High School.
Galih is already quite aware of the economic situation of his family which will be heavy if he has to bear the lives of 4 children.
Graduated from High School, Galih was accepted at State University in Jogja. He financed his own college by working part time.
Sometimes he became an assistant photographer, mobile phone service, electronics and he along with several campus friends opened a thesis type service.
As he is working on right now. Galih is typing the thesis of a customer who uses his services.
It's been 4 hours he's typing and soon it'll be done. Galih is known to be persistent in doing anything, he will not sleep if the work is not finished.
" Beres "Murm Galih in the heart. He finally finished what he was doing a few hours ago.
He rechecked every word he wrote and once it felt right, Galih stored it in a flash he would give to his customers tomorrow.
*****
Classes start at 7:30 this morning. Galih was already in class 30 minutes before the course started. He is re-examining the duties of Pak Ganjar, a lecturer in telecommunications engineering.
Although Galih is always busy with his side jobs, but he never forgets to make assignments. No wonder Galih's GPA is always above 3.5.
Mr. Ganjar also entered the class when some of Galih's friends were still cool hanging out outside the class.
Some of his friends who realized the presence of Mr. Ganjar immediately ran into the classroom.
" Morning child "Sapa Pak Ganjar while putting a book on his desk.
" What about the task you gave me? Is there any difficulty? " Task Mr. Ganjar while looking at the students present in his class.
No one answered Mr. Ganjar's question "Well, if everything is silent, it means there is no difficulty. For absences number 1 to 10 please prepare a percentage of the task. Later you will call his name one by one "
The class started boisterous, because previously Mr. Ganjar did not tell him that the task must be in percentage.
My name is called by Mr. Ganjar for presentation, thank goodness everything is smooth there are no obstacles. From the look on Mr. Ganjar's face it seems like he is satisfied with my percentage.
After returning from campus I went straight to counter Koh Ahong, my part-time job as a mobile phone technician.
As soon as I saw Koh Ahong directly calling me.
" Nah incidentally Lu already came, a lot of mobile service today "Koh Ahong then gave a basket containing mobile phones that must be repaired.
The phone is already in sticky paste that contains the name of the customer and damage to the phone.
" Any Koh, I immediately do "I go straight to my desk.
Some of the phones in service just replace the LCD so I can finish faster. I just need to replace the screen that suits the type of mobile phone, install the flex cable and glue back the LCD screen with the main body and finished.
" It's done all Koh, who changed the LCD again I rubber let the glue stick. All taken tomorrow, right, koh?" I asked Koh Ahong who was fanning.
" Wih fast also work lo ya, demen cave if so, oh yes Lih lo ga want to open the counter yourself? Yesterday the clay cave in front of your campus there was exactly an empty shophouse, definitely a rame "
" Which shophouse is Koh? "
" That's next to copy jaya's photo "
" I'm not even Koh "
" Would you open a counter there ? Sauce it's a place"
" I have no capital koh, still make pay for college the same life a day. Same if there's leftovers I send a little to the village "
" Umpung mumpung no chance, gw pinjemin first you capital. You can cicil every month, ga cave flowers-in just calm "
I was quite surprised to hear Koh Ahong's offer, because all this time Koh Ahong looks very frugal, I did not expect him to lend me capital for business, which is certainly not a little capital.
But I was still hesitant to take the offer from Koh Ahong, for fear of not being able to return Koh Ahong's money
" You people don't have to think much. Cave help you pure no intention what. You can cicil the cave every month, it's up to you but don't be a little "
" Really Koh? "
" When the cave lies with you, the cave only asks for 1 condition "
" What conditions are koh?"
" The cave wants you to help the cave if anyone wants to service, the cave settings pay rich usually. Because you want a rich nyari you gini is difficult "
Without a second thought I could get the terms from Koh Ahong. Mobile service is my food every day, it is not difficult to keep doing that even though I already have my own counter.
" Yes udh tomorrow you try to ask the rental price how much is a shophouse, later if for shopping pulse, electronics, accessories the same table so that the cave is ready "
I can't say a word, Koh Ahong's kindness is right beyond my reasoning.
I just worked with Koh Ahong not too long ago, only 3 years during my college years. But he already believed in me so much.
" Thank you so much "Kuraih hands Koh Ahong and I salimi as a form of my gratitude.
" Yes yes already, you good cave boy believe in you, please you keep the belief of the cave huh. Oiya the same later who guard during your lecture you find yourself yes, do not have time cave for nyari nyari "
" Well, Koh, tomorrow I'll go "
Arriving at the boarding house, I immediately took a bath and fell on my mattress that had thinned the bus.
Looking at the sky of the room that is already brownish yellow. Although my boarding situation is not so good, but it does not reduce my pleasure at this time.
It was as if the world was siding with me through Koh Ahong's hands.
