The bus that took me arrived in Jakarta almost at night. I took a long journey of over twenty-four hours.
I immediately dialed the Tina number of the Lubuklinggau Labor agency to report if I had reached the terminal
"The car that will take you to training is waiting there, you tell me where you are now"
I wailed, I mentioned the characteristics of the car and where I was at the moment.
"Well, wait about five minutes, the car's headed there"
I close the call, then open the message menu, send a message to my umak
"Alhamdulillah I have reached Jakarta mak"
Undeliverable
Then there was a middle-aged man who came down from the car, approached and gave an identity card that read Foundation Cipta Mandiri, then he invited me into the car.
I am the one who just set foot on the land of Jakarta is really a village. I look at the skyscrapers in such amazement. The chaos of Jakarta, the hustle and bustle, the night lights, the sound of the horn became such a beautiful sight in my eyes.
About an hour later, the car pulled me to a stop at an office. The atmosphere of the office is still crowded even though it is night.
I immediately entered ushered by the driver earlier. I was escorted to the file check table, all the documents I carried were checked and stamped and stored.
"Welcome to join the Cipta Mandiri workforce training hall, hopefully that becomes the goal of mbak achieved" said the woman whose age is not far from me in a friendly manner.
On his idcard I can read if his name is Yunita.
I returned his friendly smile. Then he escorted me to a mess that was behind the office.
The Mess consists of a two-story building. The building is quite big. It turns out that there are many women who are practicing foreign languages
I looked at every door of the room that opened, the average content was the same, they practiced foreign languages
"Well, from now on it's beautiful" said Mbak Yunita while knocking on the door
Those inside immediately looked over
"We have a new member, his name mbak Indah, he will start tonight rooming with you, remember, who got along. I don't want any commotion. Remember, your goals here are all the same. Therefore, behave like a brother, okay?"
"Okay ma'am" answered them all
I see that there are five of them, which means that tonight in this room there will be six
After explaining and introducing me, Yunita left.
I showed off my smile to them, those who since my arrival were practicing now they stood up and greeted me kindly
"Welcome to the room cheerful Indah, introduce me Sumila, my origin from Semarang" said a woman who was far above me
I welcomed his hand and said my name.
"I'm Manda, I'm from Medan" said a short-haired girl, who I'm a judge of my age.
"I'm Yanti from Madura"
"I'm Linda from Kupang"
"And I'm Olin, I'm from Manado"
"Well, we are different provinces yes" I replied in amazement
They smile.
"This is your closet Ndah, this is yesterday's closet Mbak Fitri, but it has been three days now he flew to Hong Kong, so your clothes you can put here" said Sumila
I immediately went to the closet and opened it.
"You slept with me Ndah" said Olin
"It just so happens that the top bed is empty, the former Msbak Fitri" he continued
I nodded my head.
Then they re-open their respective dictionaries and books. I watched as I tidied my clothes into the closet.
"If you don't want to go upstairs, let's change it up" shouted Olin who saw me walking towards the bed of the level he had pointed at
"Don't you really have a trade?" much
Olin walked towards me. Immediately he moved the pillows, bolsters and blankets up
"I'm surprised you're afraid of heights" he replied seriously
I scrunched my forehead.
"Don't bother, rest. You must be tired, we still want to practice. Because I'm leaving for Japan in a week" he replied with a smile
I nodded my head. I am so tired indeed. From yesterday I was sitting in the car, and only briefly on the boat, my sleep was not good because all night I cried
...****************...
"The rules are that all communication tools are deposited with office employees, only on Sunday will all mobile phones be returned, and we can call our families" Olin told me this morning before we left for training
"Come fast, don't be late. We will be angry" he continued
I immediately wrapped around my neck hijab and followed in her footsteps.
Inside the large hall had gathered many women. Each of them has their own tools.
There was an instructor accompanying each group of five people.
"You come with me for a moment" said a voice beside me
I followed the steps of the woman, who was about in her forties.
"Please sit down" he said
I immediately sat in front of him. We were face to face separated by a table. I saw him open my file yesterday
"You're a former teacher?" ask without looking at me.
"Yes ma'am" I replied
"Because here I read you can speak a foreign language, so I don't think we have much trouble teaching you a foreign language" he continued
I nodded and watched carefully
"Welcome, happy fighting. Round your resolve. We used to see new people coming in crying because they remembered their families, but we convinced them that their purpose here was to improve their fate, and we will also channel our prospective workforce in accordance with the capabilities and countries it wants to target"
"I ask you to leave here, we will return Sunday, let you focus on training. And yes, what country do you want to work in?"
"If it could be Saudi Arabia ma'am, according to the passport I have made" I replied
He seemed to shake his head.
"Yes, you can join the others"
After saying thank you I immediately joined the others. Practice how to use a dust cleaning tool, clean glass, pick up the phone, and others
The whole day of practice made my sadness a little less. Our activities every day are like that. If the break time we will gather to meet each other and tell stories.
Saturday seems to be a very anticipated day by all tkw candidates here. Because after Saturday afternoon, we finished training, we were released to go out.
I'm the one who's only been here for a week, when everything's out for sightseeing or sightseeing I prefer to stay in the mess.
"Just go with us" asked Manda
"Yes, let's go with Ndah" Sumi insisted
But their call I refuse, I want to stay in the mess. I want to be alone, because right now my heart misses my three children.
After they were gone I pulled the chair and took him to the armchair.
I stood on the balcony, staring down, watching the crowds of tkw candidates coming out of the fence. I smiled to myself to watch them.
After they all left, I sat down on the chair. Pondering alone, I felt no tears as I remembered how Naura screamed when I left.
I covered my face, sobbing. My longing is deepening, it hurts so much.
"Beautiful.." said a voice that forced me to raise my face that I bent on my knees.
I stared in disbelief at the man standing looking at me
Spontaneously I immediately ran and hit his chest. I came back crying
"Abang.." I said stammered because it was exhausted by my sobs.
My chest shook violently, the t-shirt he was wearing was wet with my tears
"My kids bang, my kids" I said disconnected
I can feel you stroking my head.
For a few minutes I kept hugging and crying on Ariadi's chest. The guy who knows where I'm from knows that I'm here
I immediately took off my embrace, and wiped away the tears on my face. I smiled ashamedly so aware of my actions
"Why are you here?" asked my brother, holding my hand and taking me to the chair I was sitting in
I looked up at her face that was standing in front of me
"I should ask, why is my brother here?"
Ariadi's brother smiled in line
"Abang also does not know, so you can call from Tomo if he sees you, brother immediately came here" he replied
I nod my head.
"Sir Abraham how are you doing bang?" much
Ariadi immediately put on a flat face as soon as he heard Beautiful ask his bodyguard
"Why are you asking him?" ask her in a cold voice
I smiled. And Ariadi's heart beat is getting tighter when he sees a smile on the face Beautiful
"He was very good with me, so naturally dong bang I asked him the same brother, he was a brother" I replied
"Proposes are good" Ariadi still replied with a cold expression
"And your brother's question you haven't answered"
I was silent, I breathed heavily and got up, walking towards the balcony wall
"I want to be a tkw bang" I replied
Sontak Ariadi immediately turned Indah's body facing her
"Why?"
I looked into his sharp eyes
"Because I want to avenge Andi's humiliation and betrayal. I want to repay my heartache to his extended family"
"But not in this way Beautiful"
"This is the only way my brother" I replied
Ariadi shook her head, she stared in disbelief at the woman in front of her at this moment.
"But not with you so tkw!"
I took a deep breath, I looked up into his eyes
"If I had a lot of money, I would have paid for all their scolding the same as I bang, I would have shown Andi the same if I could have bought as much candy as Adam wanted, even more than candy, Adam, I would have, Adam my son only asked for a thousand dollars he bang, but Andi did not want to give it until Adam fell after him and his knee was injured, until now the scar is imprinted on his knee"
"And every time I see that scar, my grudge is as great as Andi's" I said, crying bitterly
"Then you cooperate brother, brother will give you a lot of money"
I looked back into his eyes while shaking
"Abang was lucky because he was born from a wealthy lineage. But not with my three children"
"Abang never felt how hurt he was humiliated, bang, never. My brother has never felt how his pain was belittled, humiliated, betrayed" I said with a tearful face.
Ariadi again pulled Lovely hug, rubbed his head Beautiful with love
"Then accept my brother's help"
I pulled my body from his chest. I shook my head
"You don't have to work, the important thing is that you're always there when you need to"
I smiled at hearing his talk
"There is no one who does not work but makes his brother's money" I replied
"Be my wife, be my companion, and be the mother of my children" Ariadi said, clasping her hand.
I swallowed it for the sake of hearing her words. I don't believe in my hearing. I stared dumbly at him.
"Don't leave me beautiful" said Ariadi lirih
I was silent, I was confused as to what to answer.
Ariadi who knew if Indah was in shock immediately brought Indah sitting on a chair and she crouched down in front of him. Clutching her shoulders and kissing the top of the head Indah many times.
"Abang came home, next week night brother came here again" he said as he stroked my face
I'm still flinching. I didn't realize that my brother had come down the stairs and come out.
Arriving in the car, Ariadi looked towards the balcony where it still looks faint Beautiful sitting glued
He immediately took out a cellphone from inside his jacket pocket and dialed someone's number
"Yes boss" replied from across
"Father Andreas as the supervisor who leads the Sumatra region right?
"Yes boss, right"
"Monday make a facsimile to Bengkulu. Fire the head of our branch named Andi Wijaya"
"Good boss, ready!"
"And one more, make a police report on the alleged embezzlement of company money"
"Okay boss, I'll do it tonight"
"Thank you, Monday I know he is no longer in our company and black list his name throughout the company in Indonesia. So he can't work anywhere anymore"
"Good boss, ready!"
Ariadi immediately put the phone back in his jacket and then looked back at the balcony, and before long he started running a car splitting the streets jammed capital
