The Ark of Love Nurmala

First See Aldi POV

2000 Years

I'm Aldiansyah, supervisor of a garment company. For 5 years I have worked here, as a regular employee, now I have been appointed as a supervisor, who can walk around, not sit in front of the roar of the machine like I first came here.

I'm just a high school graduate from a suburban village, away from Bandung. I was desperate to go wandering and until now have not told or sent a letter. Maybe my family already thought I was missing or became a vagabond and didn't dare go home.

It was outrageous but that's what happened, I was reluctant to go home before success.

Here I have no brothers, only friends who used to take me to work in this place, but he has moved to Kalimantan. But it doesn't matter to me, anywhere if we're good, it'll have friends and relatives.

One day I went around observing the work of employees. I saw a new employee, a straight-haired young girl, braided one to the back, beautiful eyes, plump eyelashes, thick brow.

"Don't put it up!" I reprimand his unrighteous work. He looked shocked and nervous, his cheeks reddened, his eyes seemed to be about to cry. I feel sorry to see his face.

"What's your name, new boy!?" Ask her.

"Nurmala Mas, uh sir!" the answer.

I felt her eyes so beautifully piercing at heart when a glance of our eyes met.

"This is how Nurma does it, watch how she holds the cloth!" I gave an example while occasionally glancing at her innocent expression. Really, is she beautiful, or is my heart already captivated at first sight?.

From then on without her knowledge, I began to search for information about Nurmala. He recently graduated High School, from a remote village in West Java. Armed with the ability of sewing lessons in his village Nurmala wander to the city of Bandung, looking for experience while looking for money to help the lives of his parents.

One morning at 07:30 WIB all employees had lined up apples before entering work, I looked for Nurmala, but did not appear among the female line. Fifteen minutes into the apple, he suddenly ran from the gate.

Once the apples are finished, all walk regularly towards their respective machines.

"Nurmala, to my room!" My orders are firm, like angry people. He was downcast because he felt guilty.

He walked in, sat down in front of me with his head down, "Why are you late!?" tanyaku.

"Sorry Mr. Aldi, last night I could not sleep, the power outage from ten to two in the morning, as long as I could not sleep. So late wake up" he said innocently.

My heart feels sorry to hear it, but I have to stay firm. " Huh, Reason!..Don't you have any candles or other tools?, so keep it bright and you can sleep?!"

"No sir, want to buy it late at night shop on the close, so I closed my eyes but also can not sleep" said Nurmala.

I was stunned to hear the story, it turns out that there are people afraid of the dark to not be able to sleep, this is unique and sad.

"Okay, please come to work, don't be late again!" I said keep warning. Nurmala nodded weakly, her blinking eyelashes making me pity.

Nurmala walked to her desk, stood up and went around checking on the employees. I saw a man next to Nurmala's desk. I approached.

"Soni, get back to your job!" my orders. Soni clings to her desk in the row opposite the Nurmala table

When returning home from work, Soni had followed Nurmala's steps towards the angkot subscription. Seeing her body language and her eyes, Soni has a crush on Nurmala. I don't like his attitude.

Damn, their subscription is also a vehicle that I usually ride. I entered at the very end, so sat by the door. Soni and Nurmala sat side by side in the back seat facing forward.

Nurmala looked clumsy to see me enter the angkot, I pretended not to see it. Angkot drove between the roar of the city vehicles, some passengers had already disembarked, there were only four people, I, Soni, Nurmala and Niha, his boarding friends.

Angkot drove back, only I and Soni were still sitting together in an angkot, he was silent without a word, so I just looked at the streets. A little later I got to the contract. "Almost Son!" My base is on him. He just smiled and nodded. Soni is still driving with angkot.

It was Sunday morning, I used to walk casually enjoying the holidays while exercising around the complex, and the village with Rudi my boarding friends. I deliberately chose an unusual path, this time I asked Rudi to follow my route, my goal in order to pass through the Nurmala boarding house.

We continued walking while talking, in my heart hoping that as I passed by, Nurmala was in front of the complex, so that I could see her smile. I didn't understand it from the first moment, I always wanted to look at her innocent face.

My heart thumped as I approached Nurmala's place. I put a step forward when I'm right in front of the hostel, "Ah, baby Nurmala's door is shut tight."

We continued walking until the town square. From a distance I saw the figure of the girl I wanted to see. Nurmala and Niha were sitting in the corner of the square, and Soni was with him.

I chose another corner to rest, I bought two bottles of mineral water, for me and Rudi. "How's your office Rud?" askaku amuse myself.

"Still with Al, it seems like it is just a matter of time!, the office itself becomes the termite!" said Rudi. Two years I've been friends with one contract, he works at a KSP not far away.

I saw Nurmala, Niha and Soni walking away from the square. I also invited Rudi to come home.

"I'm really lemes Rud!, take the angkot yuk!" my lament, Rudi followed my steps to the side of the road stopping the angkot.

Soon there was an angkot passing by, offering us a ride,. When we entered, it turned out that the three people were already inside.

"Sounds like you guys came home?" my many.

"Still muter-muter sir!" niha replied, Nurmala just silently looked out the window.

Angkot kept going, a small discussion to just be able to talk and talk we said, Nurmala remained silent, occasionally she smiled at our jokes, but her eyes looked out again.

"Have you bought Nur's wax?" askaku say hello

"Oh, yes sir, I have!" nervous answer.

"Last-lately PLN has been blacking out!" rudi said to chimed in on my words.

"I'm also surprised, why officials say PLN is always a loss, even though it's a company that monopolizes national lighting?!" Nihaya added. Nurmala remained silent, her gaze far away somewhere, rather she daydreamed of something.

What do you think of Nurmala? tell me!. Inner asked.

Soon the angkot stopped because Niha asked for it. Three men came down. My place is a little further away.

"Niha is a factory with you Al?" ask Rudi

"Yes, why? Fancied huh?"

"Haha, maybe!" answer Rudi short.

"Left Bang!" I stopped the angkot, we got off.
