Rita(The Adventure of the Conglomerate Grandchild)

Chapter 31: On the Run

Rita woke up from her sleep, the day was bright. With the remnants of his strength, he came down from the tree, and tried to find a tree branch to help him walk.

Slowly he went to find a water source. Not long after he found the highway. He followed the road and hoped that a truck or car would pass.

While walking he opened his phone still looking for a signal.

"Ah, there's still no signal. If on can continue to run out of battery." He decided to turn his phone back off.

Far enough away he walked, his thirst was unbearable, he finally fainted unconscious.

When he regained consciousness, he was already on a truck, surrounded by many middle-aged men. They seem to be project workers.

"Aware?" Ask one of the men

"Hmm.this where is it? Where am I?"

"The sister passed out on the street, it seemed like thirst, drank this" the father gave her a bottle of mineral water. Rita immediately drank it until coughing.

"Ohuk.uhuk.."

"Swinks!" The father smiled.

"Thank you very much sir!"Rita gives a bottle of water that stays a little.

"Make it, spend it"

Rita held the bottle, and tried to sit well.

"Sorry sir, I'm going to Sangeh, where are you going?"

"Well, this is the opposite direction from Sangeh, the opposite direction."

"So how should I sir?"

"Hmm. at the end of this truck stop, there might be a truck that goes the other way, you can ride there."

"A long distance sir?"

"Yes too, then you ask to stop here, then wait by the side of the road, who knows if there is a bus or truck passing by."

"If at this truck stop, there's a phone, sir? Or can I call?"

"It looks like the head of the project has a satellite phone."

"Then I'll come along until this truck stops sir"

"Yes, that's better."

It was quite a long journey that the truck took. It was late and there was no sign the truck would stop.

Rita goes back to sleep, in her dream she sees her father and Tomi has come to catch up with her. Rita screamed at them but no one heard.

"Dik.dik woke up already!" Reprove the father

Rita awakens from her dream and gets off the truck.

"Where should I go, sir?"

"Awhile, huh?" The father left Rita, he approached a man sitting in front of a small house with a window. Not knowing what they were talking about, Rita only watched from a distance. After that, the father approached Rita,

"Sister can come to the father who is sitting in front of it, seems to be able to help sister!"

"All right, sir, thank you very much!"

The father waved his hand.

Rita walked over to the man she spoke to earlier. Seeing Rita walking to him, he went into the house. The house is more suitable to be called a shelter, because it consists of only 1 room, with 1 door and 1 glass window facing the road.

The man sat behind the table .

"Tock.tok.tok.." Rita knocked on the door

"Lake in!" Answer from behind the door

"Good afternoon sir!" Sapa Rita's

"Good Day, brother, how can I help you?" Ask. The man was about 30 years old tall with a body not too fat.

"Can I borrow the phone?"

"It could be the case, the problem is his phone was brought in the same project manager!"

"When does the manager come, sir?"

"Maybe another hour or two, if you want to wait, sit here or on the outside bench!"

"Oo, alright!"

Rita obeyed the father's orders, for fear of disturbing him out of the house and sat in front of the window of the house.

Patiently he saw the busyness around him, looking for a truck that was about to leave, but not a single car or truck left. There's just a new truck coming in and parking there. Rita is getting uncomfortable, her feelings mixed up. Rita stood up and entered the office, she approached the father earlier.

"Sir, is there still a long time for the manager?"

"I don't know, you know, he's coming today, isn't he?"

At the same time, two men pushed and forced Rita into another room in the house.

"Eh.pak..what the fuck?"..Rita tried to break free, but because the room was too narrow for her to move, she was eventually taken by the two men. It turns out that in the house there is a ladder leading down. Rita was more confused, but she tried hard, in her heart she kept praying, "May she be nothing".

Long enough stairs down it, until he arrived at the door. One of the burly men opened the door and pushed Rita in. Then they locked the door from the outside.

"Please!!..please!!!"

Rita screamed in panic.

"Hey!!! There's no point in yelling here!, it's the basement!"

Rita turned to the source of the voice, apparently many women were confined there.

"Aakhchh.."Rita was surprised her back hit the door.

"Ouch!"groaning pain.

The young women looked towards Rita with sad faces.

Rita asked them

"Sorry, where is it?"

"It's a temporary shelter!" Said one of the women

"Residential?"

"Yes, we will be hired abroad as laborers!"

"Where's the country? But I just want to go home!"

"Well, you're wrong place means!"

"Huh?"

"Some of us were forced to become illegal TKI, yes, whose name are you?"

"I'm Rita, I passed out on the street from thirst, and was helped by workers, transported by trucks, until I got here"

"I'm the Goddess, it's Eka, Ria, Siti. You're Rita!"

"Damn!!!" Greet them simultaneously

"So how many days have you been here?"

"Either, it's hot, we're only allowed to go out once in a while, and that's just 15 minutes"

"What is this place really?" Ask Rita again

"Well, you could say a temporary shelter, before we were brought to work"

"Kog, isn't the place comfortable like this? More like a prison?"

"Perhaps to hide us from the apparatus, we work without permission, so as much as we can hide" said Dewi who looks older than others.

"But mba, I'm just straying here, I intend to go to Sangeh, but it seems I'm misguided"

"Certainly you were brought here?"

"I was pushed here by those two big guys!"

"This area is very remote, trying to run is also difficult, unless you can bring a vehicle, we can secretly escape from here!" Siti

"Don't! You know, the bodyguards here are fierce, if we are counted incomplete, others can be punished!" Said Ria in fear

"Then we run it together!" Rita said

"Ga can!, From the beginning I am here to work, if you go through the official line, it will cost more!" Eka Refutation.

"So how's dong? I'll be forced here" Rita was confused

"Then, when we rest later, we count, you don't show up, we're umpetin" Maya said

"That way, if Rita doesn't exist, we won't be punished!"connect Eka

"You go behind Rit, as much as you can do not appear in front of them!", the Goddess commanded

"Remember, friends, no one has betrayed us!"said the Goddess again commemorate

His friends nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, brothers and sisters, when we just met, but you guys want to make a lot of effort for me!" Rita is moved

"Gapa Rit, actually a few weeks ago, there was a girl like you, she was also forced here, because We were too ignorant and afraid of punishment, she said, as a result the child was tortured to his death" Dewi's story is sad.

"We are not here not to care, we are forced to not care.If we fight we can not work Abroad"

"But brother, how did you know, after work the money will be received? Isn't it illegal that there's no guarantee your sister's salary will be given to the boss here?" Ask Rita

"Yes, but for us, we're starving here, at least they're taking our lives." Maya says.

Rita was silent, not knowing what to do.
