Eva is an 18-year-old girl, she works at a young age. Eva started making money when she was just 15 years old. Yes.he dropped out of school, he just graduated from elementary school, he did not continue to the next level because of the cost factor.
His parents only worked as a farmer in people's fields. Eva has 2 younger brothers. They are 8 years and 2 years old, respectively. Eva now works in the city of Jakarta as an employee at a fairly large supermarket there.
His arrival to Jakarta is because he ran away from the matchmaking that will be done by his parents. Eva is forced to marry into the third wife of one of the rich men in her village. Eva did dream of being rich and all-sufficiency, but not by marrying Erman a rich man who is arrogant and fat . Mr. Erman often helps the villagers by giving away some of his property, but with a high enough interest.
Both his wives were victims of the debts of his parents who could not pay the debt to Mr. Erman, so they had to let their daughter marry him to pay all their debts.
But Eva's parents never owe her anything, they avoid it so much, they think it's better they don't eat than they owe and pay Erman a big interest.
Mr. Erman wants to marry Eva because he is indeed in love with a little girl who is even 16 years old, Mr. Erman offers a variety of treasures, including a house, cars and fields for her parents if they allow Eva to be her third wife. With persuasion, Erman's parents Eva agreed to match her daughter with the rich man. Because her parents thought they would not be able to finance the lives of their children, especially Eva dropped out of school, especially what a girl would do if not married. At that time Eva also still had no intention to work, he just helped some of his parents' work in the field, or sometimes sell some of his crops.
Eva who always told her parents about her dream of becoming a rich person, of course it became the reason her parents betrothed her to Mr. Erman. Eva's life can be guaranteed in the future, even her parents as well.
Of course Eva did not want to just accept the match, because she wanted to become rich with her own hard work, with her own efforts not Instant like that. Even being the third wife of that fat and arrogant man was simply not her life choice.
When both of Eva's parents insist on asking her to accept a proposal from Mr. Erman, Eva is made even more depressed. Where could he just resigned and accept the marriage, Eva did not want her life to stop there. Accepting the fate of marrying someone like Mr. Erman at a very young age.
For that Eva chose to leave home, with borrowed money from her close neighbors she ran away from home and tried her luck to work in the capital Jakarta.
Yes this is now Eva's life. He lived in a narrow boarding room, consisting of only one room measuring 3x4 meters. In the room there is a bathroom that is not less narrow with a size of 1x1 meters. It was in this room that Eva lived all this time. The room that became a silent witness of the struggle of an Eva in the city of Jakarta.
Eva is a sociable, sociable, always cheerful and very kind girl. It is from this nature that Eva easily has many friends in her current life.
He worked in a fairly large supermarket there, which provided a variety of daily needs
That day at 2pm Eva was home from work. As usual, he walked to the narrow hostel. The distance is quite far from the supermarket where she works, but Eva chose to walk to save the money she had.
His salary in the supermarket was 2 million but he had to share it with his various needs, to pay the boarding, also to eat and other needs he needed. Not to mention to send some money to his parents in the village, to help the lives of his parents and younger siblings.
Eva arrives at one of her flagship stalls, the cheapest stall there, which provides rice and various side dishes at affordable prices.
Not usually the stall was very quiet, there was only Eva and one young man sitting next to her.
On a typical day, the stalls are very crowded, the buyers used to queue up just to buy a pack of rice . Not to mention the people who ate on the spot.
Eva said to the middle-aged woman who owned the stall she was in. Her name is Mbak Lita she herself is a widow who has 1 child who is still 6 years old. Mbak lita has been selling there for 5 years, the stall was already very famous among the lower middle because the price is friendly in the pocket.
With that money, Lita can support her children properly, because the sales are always running out and selling well.
"eek...Eva...eggs doang nih ..pake chicken no..."
greet Lisa friendly to Eva who has often bought in her stall.
"Hehe..egg aja mbak.pantong again dry..usualah mbak old date..."
eva replied with a light laugh.
"Pay later also gapapa kok va.just relax with me..."
"It's mbak..gak deh..later the continuity again...."
"Hehe yes deeh.wait a minute..."
Lita is preparing an order for Eva while Eva herself is playing with her phone.
Unaware of the man who was beside her several times was seen glancing at her. The man was eating a serving of chicken rice in front of him.
The appearance of his clothes looks shabby with a lot of dust, splashes of cement liquid and paint seen here and there. His skin was slightly brown with a tired face and sweat that had not dried up was visible on his face and neck.
Toni's name, she is a construction worker who is building a hospitality project not far from the stall mbak Lita. Toni also often eats there even almost every day Hats stop there, to fill the emptiness of his stomach.
Toni lives alone, she also lives not far from her project, staying one hostel with her friend who is both a project worker.
Toni's parents have been gone for a long time, she started small already living in an orphanage because no relatives who want to take care of her after both parents died due to a motorcycle accident.
Toni still remembers when she was 5 years old and she had to be in an orphanage. Without a parent who is willing to adopt him until he is 17 years old. Finally Toni out of the orphanage and looking for a job to connect her own life in downtown Jakarta.
