Real Story

Chapter 19 Working

Flash back 4 years ago, when me and Mas Udin were getting married.

In 3 months, Mas Udin and I have set a wedding date. The busy preparing everything makes us rarely meet, understand my home and Mas Udin quite far although still 1 city. The journey to get there by motorbike must also be taken with a time of 2 hours, it is included quickly. But even though we rarely meet, we always take the time to call or video call.

'hallo mas, what else?'

'hello deck, this is again a letter to the next Monday list in kua, you are not sleepy? tomorrow's work morning, right? sana just sleep first so that tomorrow the wake is not bad luck' he said as I saw he was choosing a lot of paper.

'huwaahhhh yes it has started sleepy, I slept first deh, daaaaa, muah'

'yes, yes, muahh'

I closed the video call connection with Mas Udin, understandably still dating so the default is still alay and lebay that, hahaha.

"bismikallahuma ahya wabismika amut"

I always make it a habit to pray before closing my eyes, let's not have nightmares too, considering I'm a bit timid as well.

'Kriiiiiiiiing kriiiiing kriiiing'

I was shocked when I heard the alarm on my phone. I just sat down and I turned off the alarm, I saw it was 5 in the morning.

"I think baruuuu aja brushes this eye, it's already early in the morning" I muttered while leaving the room with a towel.

"hemmmm smells so good to mom... Cook what?" I said while looking at my mother in the kitchen, it has become a habit when waking up in the morning will immediately cook, make my provisions work. And usually again, when I wake up the rice and vegetables have been neatly arranged in my nasal container. Happy that I am the only child, no one will be envious when mom always prepares her food for me.

After the shower, I went to the dinner table for breakfast. I am happy, want as much as I eat, rarely my weight rises, the body remains small as this.

When all was ready, I put on my shoes and heated my pink bike. Mio M3 output 2016, although only a second motorbike, but I'm proud because I can buy it in a way in the installments. Where possible cash, yes, only factory workers can have a lot of money, hehe.

"Mom, it's 6 o'clock I leave first, so I can be more relaxed carrying it" I said while kissing the reverence of the back of his hand.

"salamaloret..."

"yes heart, waalaikumsalam..."

I do have to leave early in the morning because the journey from home to the factory is quite far, 20 minutes if speeding. Where in the factory at 6.50 has a bell in, if it is too late to cut the salary for sure.

It was still early in the morning, so I took my bike off casually. Sometimes afraid also if speeding, because the streets are very crowded along with the departure of students to their school.

"Kok rame really yaa, usually not a very rame, whether there is an addition of employees yes" murmured while parking my bike in the parking lot.

Well tired of going to work here, the parking lot to get to the workplace is a bit far away, where the climb again, if relaxed can be up to 7 minutes walk to the top.

"tumbeennnn morning, usually also mop a new bell looking at his nose, hahaha" said my friend who has been longer at this factory.

In this factory there are almost 700 employees, so I sometimes do not memorize the name of the person, I only understand his face.

When I got to my seat, we all had to greet each other, let it be more familiar. But there's 1 stranger here that I saw. Looks like he's new, but how I feel rich to see yaa, it's salting aka misbehavior, where he's a guy again.

After the 2nd bell rang, we all did the work according to their respective parts.

"it's so hot today, don't you have a drink?" ask the girl friend.

"take dong, will you? I'll get ya first" I replied as I went to get a drink under the table.

At 12:00 and the break bell rang, I went to the bathroom to clean up before eating.

I went straight to the place where my friends and I usually eat, we would usually share the contents of the lunch. This afternoon my menu is simple, white rice with orek tempe and sambal.

"you want to taste it, my mother made it, it must be delicious." I said as I put one plastic sambel in the middle of us.

"waaa want dong, hemmm nice nihhh"

"iya dong, who used to make, my mother hahaha"

I answered while laughing.

"yes yes believe, son of mama.hahaha"

Such was life in the factory, meeting with many people. If the baperan certainly will not be at home, because here the people are mostly talking about delay.

"hhh already bell again, it's 1 o'clock. I started work again"

We cleaned up where we ate, packed up and got ready to go back to work. Usually if I'm not overtime, I'll be home by 3pm. If again there is overtime sometimes at 4, most in the afternoon at 5. I have never been invited overtime until night, if you have reached the target already, go home.

Although tired I like working in the factory, because every red date must be a holiday. Before I worked here, I worked as a shopkeeper for shoes and bags. But I can not ask for a holiday on the red date, because if in the store every red date will surely be a lot of people come to shop.

Doesn't feel like the bell has rung, it's 3 o'clock for sure. I clean, wash my hands and face. Then take the bag and get ready to go home.

"Who's home? by yourself?"

Suddenly the guy who had been looking at me this morning was now beside me.

"haa, uh, this is it myself" I replied nervously, because it was a shock that he had arrived to come.

"carry motor? if not all of you are the same as me" he said with a high level of confidence if I would definitely want to.

"yes take it" I replied briefly and tried to walk faster.

"know Dong first, I'm Adi. You who?"

Instantly I immediately stopped and turned to him, not very handsome handsome, but not papa if only friends. I also want to get married soon.

"i Sri, already in the afternoon afraid of rain"

Immediately I stater my motor and I put forward quickly, with the intention of avoiding him.

As usual I always tuned music and connected it with earphones while riding a motorcycle alone.

When I glanced at the rearview mirror I was shocked, it turned out that Adi was behind me. I was far away.

"Kok behind me anyway, he wants to follow me or indeed his house in the direction of my home" my mind while increasing speed.

When I saw the fork in the rearview mirror, he turned to the left.

"ahh it turns out I've been to PD an first, hahaha, inget sri inget... you already want to marry, hang with your guy also times, hahah"
