Hardwork

"It's breakfast first..."

eva said as she thrust out the plate and sat down next to Toni.

"Tumben you're awake..."

toni said softly, she felt lazy because she felt aching all over her body.

"Yes.I'm afraid you'll go to work early in the morning.meaning I get up and make breakfast for you...if you don't eat, you'll pass out later..."

eva replied with a smile teasing Toni.

"Hmm.I'm not that weak a time..."

Toni said as she fed a spoonful of rice to her mouth.

"You're right this job is quite heavy.maybe I'm not used to it. My body feels sore now..."

added Toni again with a mouth full of food.

"You are sick, then rest first today.do not force it..."

said Eva felt guilty because Toni had to work for money, for Eva who was a nobody for her.

"I don't know if I don't work what we're going to eat tomorrow..."

Eva was just speechless, confused to have to answer especially to Toni, because it is true what Toni said. Nobody's gonna eat if Toni doesn't work.

Breakfast and ritual self-cleaning has been done by Toni. He immediately went to the market where yesterday he met the little guy, Eko.

Eva, who looked at Toni out of her dorm room with a sense of laziness, felt guilty because she could not help anything to make money.

When Eva's idea to start helping Toni work, she tries to get out of her dorm room, offering her energy to wash or iron her neighborhood's crowded clothes.

Eva's offer was greeted enthusiastically by her boarding neighbors, some of whom began delivering dirty clothes to Eva to wash.

Eva with an enlarged stomach tried to wash the clothes in her narrow bathroom, rubbing some of the dirty clothes that her neighbors had given her.

With great difficulty finally Eva finished washing all the clothes, and drying them in front of her hostel room which was exposed to quite a lot of sunlight.

After finishing drying, Eva ruffled her waist in front of her clothesline. His waist hurt, probably because he was too tired to wash a lot of clothes in front of him now. Especially with a narrow bathroom that does not make it easier for Eva to move freely with her big stomach.

Eva went in and lay down on her bed, stroking her stomach gently to feel her baby wriggling quietly inside.

His head now feels dizzy, so he decided to sleep for a moment to release the fatigue that spread throughout his body.

The day had changed in the afternoon, Eva had just woken up and lifted the clothesline that had started to dry. Then he immediately took the iron he borrowed from his neighbor.

Eva began to iron painstakingly, one by one she ironed clothes until slippery and neat. And put it in plastic again.

"Toni where ya...until the afternoon he hasn't come home.."

eva said softly while continuing to iron a lot of clothes in front of her.

Eva had just said something about Toni, suddenly there was the sound of footsteps approaching her boarding house. It turns out that Toni just came home, Toni went into her dorm room and was shocked to find a messy boarding room full of clothes.

"Eva..."

asked Toni while looking at Eva who was already busy with her ironing.

"A. I. of course help you make money.."

eva said stammered because she was shocked by Toni's slightly raised tone of voice.

"Why do you do this va.you can get sick again later.and yes.you do all this with your already enlarged stomach.it is very risky.."

Eva answered while looking at her stomach which was moving following the baby inside.

"I know Eva.but would all be fine if you did all this..."

ask Toni again while approaching Eva.

"I'm fine ton.just calm down..."

eva answered casually, but in fact Eva also felt tired in her body, especially she is also pregnant now, it takes extra energy to do her job.

"Don't force yourself if you can't.I'm afraid you'll get sick again later..."

said Toni sitting next to Eva.

"And this is the money I made today...."

Toni put 45 thousand money on Eva, the results of her work from morning to evening.

"Said my friend fellow porters some load trucks don't come today.if they come maybe I can make more than that..."

added Toni again.

"It's been a lot.we can use it to eat and the rest to save..."

eva said as she picked up and put the money in a wallet.

"Eat.you must be tired..."

said Eva again.

Toni ate, after which she cleaned herself. Just out of the bathroom, Toni who saw Eva ironing, several times seemed to hold her waist which might start to feel sore. Toni felt pity and suddenly sat down next to Eva.

"Here let me iron the rest..."

"Eh..no ton.. Rest you must be tired..."

trying to push Toni's body away from her.

"Have rested there.you must not be too tired.I have become accustomed to my work.so I am not so tired as yesterday..."

said Toni trying to evade, but now his body was tired extraordinary, and the feeling of pagalnya this morning had not disappeared from his body. But her mother's sense of Eva pushing herself looks tough in front of her.

"Really.."

Eva looked at Toni trying to make sure.

"Hhhh, get some rest..."

"Can you iron Toni...."

"Of course you can.you don't underestimate me..."

Finally Eva relented and chose to rest her body that was very tired earlier.

They went through the same routine as today. Toni always helps Eva after coming home from the market. Although with tremendous fatigue Toni tried to look strong, he felt compassion because however all they live now is a result of Toni's invitation.

He felt a sense of responsibility for everything that happened to Eva, because she offered the job to Eva.

The days continued to change, Eva began to show symptoms of fatigue again. He often feels dizziness in his head, back pain and even fever are also often experienced. Eva often went back and forth to the midwife's house to check on herself and her baby which would have cost more because of her declining health.

Seriate....
