Being an online driver is difficult. There are times when I find a passenger who rese, ask to be escorted there to here while on the way home, but all he gives is the fare listed on the application. Even if he did not ask to be escorted to another place, of course, I could drive him faster and could get another order again.
Sometimes it's tired of working and then pulling passengers, but I have to do it for my future, with whoever I am, of course I don't want to take my wife to a hard life.
At ten o'clock in the evening I just came home, tired, this eye sore from the wind, it felt a little loss of my bones. A week of being an online motorcycle driver has made my time with Vita less.
Vita was crying when I just got into the house, mother held her and gave her a bottle of milk, but Vita brushed it off so violently that the bottle fell and rolled on the floor.
"Eh, it's dad coming home" said the mother pointing at me who had entered the house.
"Vita why, Mom?" I was confused, because the mother did not give news if Vita was fussy. Usually will ask me to quickly go home or leave it to the Goddess.
"Don't know, nih, from earlier magrib fussy continues. Not a fever" said my mother. I took Vita into my sling, with the child immediately silent, only a moment's breath. It was seen that she was crying so much because her eyes were swollen.
"Vita why? How crying? Is anyone sick?" I asked Vita. He doesn't answer, usually if I ask like that he'll point at him and say 'uh' (uh).
"Your parents, he would not normally sleep if there was no you," said the mother then went into her room.
I took Vita into our room, put her to bed, but this spoiled child would not lie down. Still tightly hugging the neck.
I asked again, but he still didn't answer. Confused, but don't know what's wrong with him. Be tonight I sit leaning against the wall and hugging it tightly. I fell asleep without changing my clothes and sitting.

"Man, you don't do it in the afternoon. Poor Vita from yesterday fussed." Mother spoke while putting provisions into food containers for me to bring to the factory.
"Yes, anyways Hilman is tired, Mom. Very stiff body," I complained.
Today I forced myself to go to work, factory is my priority while being a driver is a side. Don't let it just because I'm resting get me fired from my job.
Just about to get out of the yard I found someone outside the fence. Waving my hands told me to come closer. She was my neighbor who yesterday along with the Goddess came home from school.
“What's up Mpa?” ask him.
“Not nothing at all. Just want to give info aja,” he said.
“Info what?” ask me with curiosity. I looked at the clock on my wrist, still enough time to listen to the info from him. I don't know what it is, but I'm honestly curious.
“You know that the Goddess already exists?” ask him later.
“Hah? Meaning?” ask me confused.
“Ih, you are stupid or pretend to be stupid, anyway?” ani asked me, sounding a little annoyed.
“Eh, what does this mean? I don't know you suddenly said Dewi there's a thing?” ask me back to him.
“Dewi yesterday confided, he said there is a man who has asked him to be with his parents,” said Ani again.
Deg.
Instantly my heartbeat thumped hearing Ani say that.
“Who is that boy?” ask me to Ani. The woman with the two children only shrugged her shoulders at a glance.
“Don't know, but not the people of the village here.”
“Keep, Ma'am talking to me is why?” askaku.
Suddenly he patted her head a little hard. “But you are this. I said so that you know, and you fight Dewi.”
“Hah?”
"Eh, even gawking! Do you know the code?" the question is getting upset.
"I know that you like the Goddess, right?" ask him again.
"Eh, you dream like that. Just info's. If you really like her, you better talk to the Goddess. Looks like the Goddess likes you too."
I looked at him in disbelief. Whether or not it was true, he would speak 'likely', it was still unclear whether it was the truth or not.
"But not necessarily, Ma'am. I like him, but he doesn't like me. How would her parents accept me like this? You know what the case was yesterday that mom got?" ask him.
"Yes, you have to try first, rather than later you regret that he has been with others. Rarely is a woman as good as her. Patience, kindness, understanding. If she's with someone else, who will you be with?" He asked while looking intently at me.
I'm just quiet now. Don't know how to. Now in my mind can I make her happy? Can her parents give her to me?
"Yes you have left there, it is already noon. I just want to give you the same info. Don't let you regret it, man." Ani then left in front of me.
I was still silent on my bike. Thinking about what the future will be, the woman who was in yesterday became my mind and always became the object of my fantasy will now be inspired by others.
Should I ask her parents first?
The clock on the wrist continued to move, was it a little late than usual because Ani just stopped me. For now I will go to the factory first. Hopefully before that time comes I can convince mom to propose. This time I am sure this heart wants it. I hope he has the same feelings for me.
Damn it, because of the info from Ani this morning I can not concentrate on working. The shadow of the Goddess has always appeared in my mind since I left here, making me unfocused in my work, also making my meal unpleasant. Several times my subordinates awakened from the reverie.
I really can't let this go. True what Ani said, if he was already together with the others then only regret I can get. Don't let this regret torture me. At least later in the afternoon I'll try to talk to him. Whatever decision I will accept if he rejects me.
This afternoon I went home. It is still the same as before with the shadow of the Goddess dancing in the mind. It was so distracting that I almost hit the car when the red light came on.
Arriving at home I immediately keep the bag in the room, immediately set foot back out. I can't wait to meet him.
“Where are you going, Man?” ask mom when I pass her. Vita also just looked at me from her seat next to mom.
“To the house of the Goddess,” my answer is short.
“What's up?” mother asked with a tone of wonder.
“There's a minute's business. Mother please take care of Vita,” my door to her. Without waiting for an answer from my mother I immediately set foot quickly to the house of the Goddess.
The door of his house I knocked quite hard, a little longer waiting I thought he wasn't there. When he was about to set foot back to the house, there was the sound of a key being opened from inside.
“Hilman? What's up here?” tanyakanya. I understand why he opened the door long enough, it turns out he just finished bathing visible from the towel on his shoulder and the hair is still wet.
“Can we talk?” ask me firmly.
“Boleh” replied and then invited me to go inside. The door of the house opened very wide.
“You want me to make coffee?” I shook my head and said no need.
“I heard you already have anything?” ask him. Only then did I realize that there was no call ‘Mbak’ as I mentioned.
“Eh, you know from whom?” He asked back with a confused person staring at me sharply.
“No need to know, what I am now asking is it true you already have something?” I asked again the same as before and now I don't care about the usual name. I would love to hear his answer, whether it is true or not.
The goddess lowered her head, she bit her lower lip.
“Jawab, Wi!” my door with a loud voice, I want an answer I don't want to wait anymore.
“True. There are indeed people who have asked me,” he replied. This body felt limp hearing the answer just now.
“Keep answering what?” I want to know.
She's quiet.
“Wi, tell me, yesterday you answered what?” I am getting more impatient.
