"Dad, you finally got to my boarding house, how was it on the road smoothly right, not stray ?" cecar Lilis when opening the boarding door for Inayah the friend from the village.

"Yes, I was in the middle of a good-natured motorcycle taxi until here, where it's free again" replied Inayah enthusiastically.

"Free ? but you're not at anything, are you? gini day, in Jakarta where there is free anyway, just pee pay !" cerocos Lilis while watching Inayah carefully, afraid of something happening to her innocent friend.

"Yes, free, handsome again his motorcycle taxi, not rich motorcycle taxi in our village, here his motorcycle cleaner, fragrant, wear uniform again, rich people aja aja yes?" baboteh Inayah who is still amazed and amazed by life in Jakarta.

"Eat him, watch television, so know the development of the era, it's called ojol, aka ojek online, the message must use the application on the phone" explained Lilis.

"You forgot, if I don't have a tv ? At my ex-in-law's house there is tv, still can not watch, the work there is no completion, busy continues, if there is free time yes, just a mall for sleep." luh Inayah recounted her experience at Adit's parents' house.

"Partially, you can usually choose to marry the 'belegug' (dumb/sundanese language) Adit, before I'm the same ex-husband from the past," sumpul Lilis showed a hateful expression towards Adit.

"Well, what the hell, maybe this is God's way for me, Lis. How else ?" inayah Pasrah.

"Here it is, I like to get carried away with emotions when talking about the belegug, mending you eat, keep resting, tomorrow morning follow me to the factory to give up all the requirements" said Lilis ended the conversation.

A few days later, Inayah had worked as a laborer in the same textile factory as Lilis, Inayah had now rented her own room, too, because it feels bad if you have to continue hitchhiking in the place of the Lilis boarding house which is fairly narrow in residence by Lilis alone, especially if it must be added himself.

Inayah kost in the same place as Lilis, a room with a single-size foam mattress, one wooden cabinet one door with a mirror in front of it, and, then the small kitchen that only fit the stove one furnace and the narrow bathroom next to the kitchen, oh yes, there is still a small table in the form of a box where to store food or other items, or even, usually the table is used as a dining table.

He works as a factory worker with a system of 8 hours a day, meaning he starts working from 7 am to 4 pm, every Monday to Friday.

Where in a day is usually given time for 45 minutes to rest and 10 minutes to break at 9.30 and 15.00 hours, if working outside the hour it will be calculated overtime.

Saturday and Sunday holidays,

Usually Inayah leaves with Lilis until the big road, then wait for the employee bus invitation to pass, which usually takes factory employees, as well as when coming home from work, they prefer to use the free facilities provided by the company for all of their employees, because it saves more money on costs.

"Depart lilis mba, mba Nisa?" greet Liam that morning upon seeing Lilis and Inayah come out of his boarding gate.

"Eh, yes Liam, the tumbens are not uniform ?" lilis basi.

"Yes, again not interested, go to campus !" the answer passed while throwing a sweet smile towards Inayah who was silent did not speak.

"Lis, it's the motorcycle taxi driver who came here the other day, when I just arrived from the village" Inayah muttered.

"Oh, mas Liam, pantes at that time you said the carpenter was handsome, if the mas Liam mah, not handsome anymore but super handsome !" lilis hysterically herself.

"He's in college ?" ask Inayah wonder

"Yes, here mah, it is common, not a strange thing students work side by side so ojol" said Lilis explained, Inayah only mangosteen mangosteen just agree to the explanation of Lilis the friend.

Day change, a month already Inayah working in Jakarta, Saturday morning This morning Inayah is ready to want to walk the road after yesterday received a salary and overtime money that is quite a lot, according to him, so Inayah wants to buy something that she really wants is a television, so she does not have to evacuate to Lilis' room to just watch television.

"Nisa, where are you going, tumben alone?" greet Liam who is heating his duck motorbike in front of the boarding house,

The boarding place is indeed inhabited by most factory employees such as Inayah and Lilis, because of its location which is not so far from the factory, the boarding house which is thought to consist of about 30 rooms is indeed intended for men and women, there are even some young married couples living there, with room sizes that vary according to the rental price.

"Iya kang Liam, Lilis is having her boyfriend, so I go alone this," replied Inayah kindly.

"Where are you going, Kasian is very alone. Let me drop you off, you guys go to college" Liam asked.

"No, take it easy," Liam thrust his helmet at Inayah for her to wear.

"Nis, we go to my campus for a while yes, just meet the lecturer, later after that I anter you around Jakarta" he said a little screaming because unpretentious to the noise of the streets.

"Yes kang, just finish the business of kang Liam, I am relaxed, really" replied Inayah with a rather loud voice as well.

"You wait here for a moment, yes, I just ngasiin this to the lecturer for a while" said Liam while showing a pile of A4 paper in a neat volume. Inayah nodded.

Inayah looked around, as if amazed by what she saw at this time, a campus that only she heard from the story of the son of the boss in her village who had the opportunity to study in the city.

"Hihi, it feels like a dream, can set foot in this luxurious college place" muttered Inayah softly.

"Don't just dream, come on, you can do it. I'm the only ojol who can lecture." the voice of Liam who arrived there next to him surprised Inayah.

"Eh, kang Liam makes it surprising, where maybe people like me can go to college in a place like this, the cost must be expensive" said Inayah.

"Ish, don't be discouraged, you're still young, you're still a lot of opportunities, how old are you now ?" ask Liam.

"Emh, 20 years" answered this.

"Excite, you are still very young, pursue your dreams" Liam said encouragingly.

"What age is Kang Liam?" ask Inayah.

"I'm old, this year will be 26." Liam chuckles.

"Ish,, that age is still in college, if in my village that age already has 2 children" plain Inayah.

"Hey, I'm in college post-graduate" Liam replied with a laugh looking at Inayah's stupefied facial expression, seemingly less familiar with what Liam said.

"Advanced college after graduating S1" explained Liam

"Oh, that S2, huh?" Inayah only understood after explaining Liam, and Liam nodded.

"Let's go now where the anter is going, my business is done" Liam invited Inayah back to the motor park on his campus.

"Emh, that, actually I want to buy a television" replied Inayah hesitantly.

"Well, like that, don't be stiff talking to me, don't me I'm all rich talking to anyone, one more, I don't want you to call me Kang or akang, I don't want to hear you call me, okay ?" said Liam who was happy that Inayah no longer used stiff language when chatting with him.

"Yes, sorry" said Inayah.

They walked down the street to the electronics store, on a motorcycle. Inayah is very happy to be able to buy the item she really wanted since childhood, namely television.

It was late in the afternoon by night when they reached the boarding house, they were too busy walking the road and like Liam's promise, he said, earlier Inayah was invited to tour Jakarta with a duck motorcycle which said Inayah motor type was only a child of a young man who could have it if in the village where he lived.

"Thank you for taking me around Jakarta, and driving me to buy this" pointed Inayah towards the television cardboard she had been holding along the way.

The 24-inch flat television was probably a very mundane item for most people in the city, they even had a television as big as a tancap screen in their home, but for Inayah, it was not, that's his biggest achievement right now, he can buy and own a television from his own efforts.

"Come, I'll help you put it in your place, you won't be able to install it yourself, will you?" Liam took over the cardboard box and took it with him.

*are we thankful today ?

(self reminder) may all brothers succeed always...*
