Pellucid
Chapter 26 - New Life
Solo City, Solo,
Bening lives in a modest boarding house on the border between the cities of Solo and Boyolali, Central Java. Per month the cost is about five hundred thousand rupiah.
Though usually his life is all-round and luxurious. Now freefall for his survival and also the baby in the womb.
He is often called Ning. Because from the beginning he claimed to be named Ningsih.
His boarding mother was named Minah who was even sixty-five years old. This old woman lives with her adopted granddaughter named Ayu (19 years old).
Ayu told Bening to call him fixed with the name Ayu without the frills of Mbak or Brother in front of him.
The distance of age that is only one year apart, makes Ayu comfortable with Bening like a friend. Because all this time no one wants to be friends with him. Just because Ayu is an orphan from an orphanage who was raised as a grandchild by Minah.
Minah's life is also fitting and makes Ayu unable to continue college. Every day Ayu works as a waitress in a restaurant not far from the residence of her grandmother, Minah.
Bening who said from the beginning needed a job to sustain his life in Solo, then Ayu gladly helped him. Soon Bening was accepted to work at the same restaurant where Ayu worked.
It's just that Ayu as a waiter for the delivery of food to guests who eat on the spot as well as delivery orders to customer houses. Because Ayu can ride their motorcycle.
Bening cannot drive a motorcycle. SIM (Driving Permit Letter) only does not have. Because the father never allowed himself to learn to drive both a motorbike and a car.
So that every day he only relies on the shuttle Mr. Rudy, his family's private driver and online taxi only.
Finally, she works in the kitchen. But because he was a new employee, eventually assigned to the vegetable peeler and dishwasher.
If the father knows the work of the Clear now, he may have a heart attack. The son of a Police Commissioner General who served as a Police Public Relations Officer who was predicted to become Wakapolri in the near future, it turns out that his daughter works as a manual laborer in a kitchen of a simple restaurant. How ironic.
But that is the life he must live. Bening is determined to do any work while halal. She didn't want to feed her innocent baby with something that didn't come out well.
As she was crying silently sitting in the front corner of the restaurant warehouse, where the servants used to rest, Ayu saw Bening from a distance looking sad.
Coincidentally the atmosphere around the middle is quiet because the clock is the turn of only Bening who is resting.
"Eh Ning you cry anyway? Wh why? Scolded by the boss?" asked Ayu who came suddenly and surprised Bening.
"Eh, eng_ not Yu. Just saw the sad event so follow the cry," great-granddaughter Bening while wiping her tears.
"Haha. Uh, where are you from?" tanya Bening switched Ayu's conversation and immediately turned off the television in front of her.
"Well, it's turned off anyway" Ayu protested, pursing her lips. Manyun.
"Udah. It doesn't matter."
"Where did you end up?" ask Bening back.
"Introduction of orders to the Village office. Later at night see the screen tancap nyok in the field. All buy snacks. There is usually a cheap night market if there is a tancap screen. Surely you have never come to such an event," ledek Ayu while laughing.
"Kok know?" ask Bening wonder.
"Yue that's it. Haha.." said Ayu proudly while laughing out loud patting d@danya.
Bening also followed a small laugh to see the joke Ayu who he had declared as his best friend. Because all this time he had no friends.
Ayu also just guessed that Ningsih his new friend is from the group of people who are wealthy. Because his skin is white and clean. Unlike her who is tanned mature impressed kuel.
Because it is often hot on the streets. Especially if the order delivery order is quite a lot alias booming. Address all day can-can himself on the road continue.
But Ayu does not know the origin of Bening. Because Bening has not said who he is. And Bening also deliberately changed his appearance.
Formerly Bening had quite long hair and deep black color. She now cuts her hair short and brown with a slight blond accent.
He also wears a brown soft lens. And he accidentally put a tompel or tah! a little fly on his cheek.
He had been undercover since he was in Solo. For he did not want to be known by his father nor anyone else who knew him. After knowing the news that the plane he bought his ticket but did not board it fell, he remained undercover.
She was determined to live independently with her baby. He decided not to return to the father or Arjuna even though he was declared dead in the fateful event. Let it be considered dead by all.
"The old "silent is dead. May Papa be healthy always and keep smiling like this continue," Inner Bening when seeing the picture of the father who he brought is smiling with his late mother who is pregnant with him.
