SOMETHING IS DELAYED

01. Seeking self

Pambudi Jaka.

An only child from a wealthy family in town Z.

He was an ambitious young man, changing his poor life, by circumstances, by determination and conviction.

I come from a family in town Z. Her parents died, in a car accident 6 years ago, the car her parents drove into the ravine and exploded.

This incident occurred while Jaka was still in 3rd grade Junior High school in the city of X, and he lived in the school dormitory.

The accident was kept secret by the school on the grounds that,

Jaka is a smart and accomplished student.

Jaka is always the 1st general champion in school and the general champion in the middle city.

Jaka learns that his parents died in an accident, during a diploma retrieval event and his school farewell.

At that time Jaka was confused, why all the parents and guardians of his friends came to the event.

Only her parents were not present at the school's farewell.

Jaka insisted on leaving the school to return to the city of Z.

Finally Jaka was called the Principal to his room.

Mr. Karyo also explained that his parents had died, due to a fatal accident. And Mr. Karyo also showed newspapers reporting about the tragic death, a businessman named Setyo Adjie Pambudi and his wife Safira Putri Guntoro and his driver, whose car went into the ravine and exploded.

Jaka also cried 😭😭 when he heard and read the newspaper. She also vented her emotions and frustration in the room.

Long story short, the Chief apologized to Jaka. Mr. Karyo did all that so that Jaka could finish school with the highest and best grades. And, because Mr. Karyo also felt awkwardness in the news of the fatal accident, because he got a canned letter, so as to keep it a secret from Jaka about the incident.

Mr. Karyo also gave Jaka's diploma, report book, and savings book at school, as well as two envelopes containing his savings and additional money from school as a gift, as well as two envelopes, and an apology from the school for keeping his parents' deaths a secret.

Jaka also returned to the city of Z, with a car that had been prepared by the school.

His days were spent with the same activity. He was just daydreaming and daydreaming, when hungry he went out to buy rice packs. Then he went back to his rented bed behind the morning market.

1 Year has passed since the tragedy of his parents' accident.

Jaka became an adult prematurely.

At one time he was out of contract, he was confused about what to do, to get extra money. Finally he hung out next to the warteg in the middle of the morning market.

Suddenly a mother called him.

"Son, here son!"

"I'm Mom, what's wrong, Mom?" tanya Jaka is friendly.

"Please help Mom, take this to the pickup truck, son! there's my husband, Mr. Marsan, tell me you were told by Ms. Zubaidah." Answer Miss Idah.

"Yes Ma'am," said Jaka politely, while transporting Bu Idah's groceries.

After arriving at the specified car Jaka asked a man.

"Father, Mr Marsan?" ask Jaka.

"Yes, Mr. Marsan, what's wrong, son?" tanyakanya.

"I was told by Ms. Zubaidah to take all this stuff to your car" Jaka said.

"That's it, son, put the stuff on top of this first, here's the fare!" said Mr. Marsan, while giving money Rp25,000.-

"Thank you, sir" Jaka replied.

That was the beginning of Jaka became an impromptu pelvic lecturer, and began to dare to offer his services directly.

This morning.

In the usual place Jaka mangkal,

Jaka saw a Mother who carried a lot of things, limping from exhaustion.

The stuff he brought was too much.

There was a deep pity in her heart, a strong desire to help her.

"Here ma'am, I'll help you with the goods." Jaka.

"No, you don't want to take my things!" the mother said, angrily, after seeing Jaka's shabby appearance.

"Mother, if you don't want me to help you, don't accuse me like that! look there's a police station, just like I'm looking for a disease, if I take your luggage here! Anyway, I can scream! and those cops are gonna come after me, and arrest me!" jaka said annoyed.

The mother seemed to think, like a dumbass.

"Mom, if you don't want to be helped!" jaka said, while moving away from that place.

The mother also realized her mistake.

"Wait son!" yelled the mother.

So that made everyone, around the place turned towards the two of them.

Jaka stopped his steps.

"There's nothing else, Mom! you accused me, and now you're screaming! do you want to frame me?" ask Jaka, politely though somewhat emotionally.

"Well, son, please bring these things, to the car next to the police station, what's your name, son?" tanyakanya.

"Jaka Bu" said Jaka.

"Excuse the words of Mother just now Son, Mother again upset with the child Mother in the car, called many times not lifted up! In fact, from home has been talked, help Mom bring groceries to the car!" said the mother

"All right, ma'am, we've got this misunderstanding, let's just say it never happened" replied Jaka.

After arriving in the car, the mother banged on the windshield of the car. Shortly from that the car door was opened, came out a beautiful girl figure with her hands rubbed eyes because she just woke up.

"Rena! properly, Mama did not pick up the phone, it turns out you slept in the car. Quickly open the trunk of the car! mother said it was upset.

"Sorry Mama, I overslept," said Rena, opening the trunk.

Jaka also put the groceries he carried, into the trunk.

"This is for son Jaka," said the mother, while giving, 2 pieces of money Rp50,000.

After hearing Jaka's name, called Mama, Rena too, began to pay attention to Jaka.

"I think I know this guy" Rena murmured.

"No, ma'am, most of it is anyway" said Jaka.

"Mas! you're Jaka Pambudi right?" Ceplos Rena, while continuing to look at Jaka with curiosity.

Rena was once interested in the goodness of Jaka, when she was helped by the Big Brother of the class when she was still Junior High.

"You know me?" jaka.

"Well, it's Mas Jaka! I was once helped by Mas." replied Rena.

"When I was stalked by bad boys, near the angkot terminal. Mas Jaka was very good at fighting until 4 children who were lazy I was battered. I'm your little sister in Junior High" said Rena spirit.

"Oh, so what did you do first, Nak Jaka huh Ren?" ask mother.

"Yes Ma'am, this Mas Jaka who nolongin me first," ceplos Rena.

Jaka just stood still, listening to their conversation.

"Thank you Nak Jaka has nolongin son Mother, once again I apologize for saying rudely with Nak Jaka earlier. This is for Nak Jaka, please accept ya." said the mother.

"Yes ma'am, it's okay, and thank you very much" replied Jaka.

"Is Jaka's got an HP number?" ask Rena spirit.

Rena didn't realize, that her mother was watching her.

"No Ren, my HP is gone" Jaka replied lying.

HP was sold a week ago. Because there is an urgent need.

"When does Nak Jaka play at Mom's house? mother's house on Jalan Melati no 8, White Elephant Housing Complex" said Mother.

"Don't stop by Mas," ceplos Rena shy.

"Yes Rena, ma'am thank you for your kindness." replied Jaka, as he left the place.

Time passed too.

"Alhamdulillah, my fortune is good today" muttered Jaka. After arriving at his contract ahead of the Maghrib.

Years changed, it did not feel like 4 years Jaka lived alone, and became a porters of goods.

Jaka rushed to take a shower, and did other activities at home, then rest.

"This is Mas Jaka's fare."

"Oh yes Ma'am Tami, here's the change" Jaka replied politely.
