Zara and Leo were tidy that morning, it's a day off. They will meet Zara's parents at the Senduri Bus Terminal. Coincidentally the Bus Terminal was close to their boarding. They leave on foot.
"Leo it's them" Zara said pointing to her parents.
"Oyeah, come on Zara" Leo said
Leo and Zara headed towards the direction where Zara's family was sitting waiting for the departure of the bus that was heading to the city of B.
"Good Morning Father and Mother" Leo said kindly.
"Yes good morning" both Zara's parents said simultaneously.
Leo and Zara shake hands with Zara's parents. Zara also hugged her three sisters in turn. They were all talking about various things while waiting for the bus. When the bus starts arriving all passengers enter the bus. Passengers are seated in the seat as booked.
"Leo tipped Zara, take good care of her" Iwan's father said as he patted Leo on the shoulder.
"Okay sir, I will always take care of him" Leo said.
"We will visit times when there is time" said Ms. Sari.
"Be careful in the way, Father, Mother" Zara said, crying bitterly.
His three younger siblings also say goodbye to Leo and Zara. His father and mother gave Zara some advice before boarding the bus. Zara looked sad as she waved her hands to her parents and three sisters who were riding the bus.
**********
Zara's life difficulties are just beginning.
Now he must be stronger and independent. Various problems will come to him. Leo and Zara go down the road trying to find work again. Leo and Zara split up again.
Zara continued walking until in front of the Amusement Park. It's a long way off today. Zara saw a paper job vacancy in front of the Amusement Park. Zara tries to get into the front area of the Amusement Park. Zara met the security officer and asked about the vacancy. The security officer escorted Zara into the Amusement Park office. Zara was met with the Amusement Park staff.
"You're ready to work today" the staff said.
"Yes" said Zara sure.
"Later you wear a Panda costume to entertain the children who held a birthday event here" said the staff.
"Yes, I want to" Zara said.
The staff explained about the work that Zara was going to do. It's kind of a call job. Zara will be called to work if there are children who hold birthdays at the Amusement Park. And his daily wages after he works. It just so happens that today there is a child with a birthday. Zara can work right away today.
By the afternoon, Zara's work had been completed.Zara earned a wage from the work of 100 thousand. Zara's heart was delighted. He earns his own hard work. Zara walked over with a wide smile and a radiant face. As he was walking, there were two young people wearing black clothes and his looks were terrible. The young man's body was covered in tattoos and his lips pierced. The young man approached Zara.
"Hi pretty girl has no money?"asked one of the young men with his hand that touched Zara's chin.
"Son" said Zara lying.
"Ah, beautiful girls have no money" said another young man.
"Do you want to give yourself the money or be forced?"said one of the young men.
Zara was terrified to see the two young men. The hands of the two young men began to grop Zara's arms. They checked all of Zara's pockets. They took 100 thousand Zara's money working all day.
"Don't take the money" Zara said in a frightened voice.
"I'll give you the money back or you'll trade it for another" said one of the young men who teased Zara.
Without answering the young man's words Zara immediately pushed the young man, and ran away with all her might. Zara doesn't care about the money anymore. For him what was important could leave both the strange and dangerous young man behind.
When Zara ran so far, fortunately, she met Leo. Zara was so happy to meet Leo. Breathing that still makes it difficult to talk.
"Zara you why?"ask Leo
"I. I. I'm afraid of Leo" Zara said in a frightened voice.
"What's wrong?"ask Leo.
Zara told me everything that happened to Leo. Leo wanted to return to the place where Zara was bullied by the two young men, but Zara forbade him. Zara doesn't want to happen to Leo. Zara takes Leo home. Leo is actually a fighting guy. That's because he used to live in the night world. But now Leo's safety is more important and Zara is also unwilling to add to the problem.
Leo and Zara bathe and change clothes. Leo and Zara ate the packaged rice they had bought. They ate one pack of rice together with just tofu side dishes and long bean sautees. They are very frugal sometimes eating only 2 times a day. Their money is up, tomorrow they have to try to find work again to be able to eat.
"When I had money but.." said Zara (her tears dripped remembering the incident earlier).
"Don't be sad Zara, tomorrow I'll try to get a job so we can eat" Leo said.
"Yes Leo, tomorrow we will try again" said Zara who was still sad.
"Tomorrow you wait to be bored" Leo said.
Leo was worried about what happened to Zara. Leo asks Zara to wait for him to be bored. Today's incident was unexpected. Leo tried to calm Zara down and encourage her.
