The Ark of Love Nurmala

New Motor

That night Nihaya had returned to work but Nurmala was still waiting for the condition of her strong body to work throughout the night. Aldi noted the sign of Nurmala's presence with illness.

"Niha, how's Nurmala doing?" aldi's question when meeting Nihaya in front of the entrance of the production room.

"It's good Mas, but it still needs rest" Aldi nodded with Nihaya's reply.

Working time begins, all employees sif night in their respective positions, Aldi around controlling their results carefully. At first glance he saw Nurmala's table which was still empty. Aldi smiled remembering Nurmala's embrace the other day, "Really, the scent of his body I can't forget" Aldi said.

The night shifted closer to morning, not infrequently among employees yawned because of the sleepiness that whack, then they stood up to make a cup of hot coffee so that it could last until morning.

Aldi realized this is the risk of working in a place where people, must follow the rules of their game. There is a strong desire for Aldi to be independent, but he feels not enough experience and capital, one day he wants to have his own business.

At this time his savings will be bought a motorbike, so that the transportation is easier and more efficient. Next he will just think about independent business capital.

Aldi came out of the production room at a third of the night, crossing his arms and looking at the moon and the stars in the sky. It became Aldi's habit when he was on night duty. He felt a peace of his own imagining and remembering both his parents in his hometown.

Some time he stood outside, then went back in and around talking to employees. Until dawn they are still working, then dawn prayers for those who run, and back to work until six.

***********

Aldi woke up from his sleep, immediately took a shower and rushed out of his contract, he had an appointment with a friend who wanted to sell his motorbike.

Aldi came out carrying an old helmet he had bought before he had a motorbike, walking quickly to the highway to wait for the angkot to pass. Long enough to wait, finally Aldi can ride the angkot that passes the destination.

"Left Kang!" Aldi stopped the angkot, descending on a large iron-fenced house. Many people work next to this house.

"Assalamualaikum, gunten...Rizal is Kang?" ask the workers.

"There, but still out Mas, he said, if there are guests tell wait a moment!" said one of them.

Aldi observed, the place produces types of school bags and office bags. Aldi considered Rizal quite successful with his independent efforts. He sold the bike because he wanted to replace it with a new model. If sold to Delear, the motor will be purchased cheaper than the market. So he chose to sell it to someone else, Aldi was the one who was interested in buying it.

Aldi observed the production process, he considered making bags easier, simpler, and capital is not as big as making clothes.

Shortly thereafter Rizal emerged from the front fence. Rizal looked fatter.

"Hi Al, from earlier?" ask Rizal

"No, I'm studying here!' Aldi replied as he walked following Rizal inside the house.

"You're great Zal, three years out of the factory is now like this!" praise Aldi while patting his friend's shoulder.

"Alhamdulillah Al, but for capital I am assisted by parents and in-laws!" razal.

"Yes yes.indeed the business needs capital, but reckless capital is more important!!" said Aldi who was greeted with laughter from the two.

"Each time you get married, find a girl who wants to be miserable!" Rizal joking.

"Hahaha, where there are parents who allow their children to be invited to live Rizal miserable, there are-there are you!, now I have found the girl of Zal's dreams, but later on the conversation yes, I have a lot of business, I have a lot of business, how's the bike?, so you sell it?"

"Deal!!, your bike is mine" cried Aldi happily. Rizal handed over the keys, STNK, and BPKB to Aldi.

Shortly after, Aldi pampit with Suzuki RX motor in 1999, classified as new because it was still a year in the hands of Rizal. Aldi is very happy with his achievements. A smile rose along the way from her thin mustachioed lips.

The roar of the motor is like the singing of a success from a regional country who wants to go home brings success. Suddenly Aldi pressed the brakes and clutch firmly and turned towards a helmet and jacket shop.

After choosing, sorting the model and color Aldi back drove on the streets. A cardboard box containing a helmet he placed in front of his chest, a bundle of plastic bags in his left hand.

He stopped at Nurmala's contract.

Tok.shock.tok.."Assalamualaikum, punten!" a long wait no one answered. Aldi repeated his words, only then did the door open.

"Waalikum greetings, Mas Aldi?" Nihaya opened the door. Aldi's eyes are still looking for someone.

"Nurmala's still in Mas's bathroom!" Nihaya ketus, because Aldi must be looking for Nurmala not himself. Nurmala came out of the bathroom door.

"Nurmala!!, look for Mas Aldi!" shout Nihaya. Nurmala went into the living room.

"What's the matter Mr Aldi?" nurmala asked while standing with her wet hair covered in a towel.

"I'm gonna go get my jacket, here's your jacket, put it on at work so you don't catch a cold!" Aldi handed over the package. Nurmala hesitated between accepting and rejecting.

"Thank you Nur, let's keep you warmer overtime!" Nihaya gave her advice. Nurmala finally accepted.

"It's Nur again, helmet!, so don't get a police ticket when you get on the bike with me!" said Aldi while shaking off his thin smile.

"Receive Nur!, later if I can buy a motorbike let's not get a police ticket as well!" Nihaya asks Nurmala to accept Aldi's gift. Nurmala could not stand in front of her two seniors. The jacket and helmet were in Nurmala's hands.

"I went to Aldi's room first!" Nurmala. Aldi nodded.

"I'm saying good to Niha!" Aldi walked out onto his bike, but went back in, because his jacket was still in Nurmala's room.

"Nurmala, the jacket!!" exclaimed Nihaya, shortly afterwards Nurmala came out carrying Aldi's jacket.

"Niha, there's a greeting from Rudi!" aldi said while wearing his jacket. Nihaya scrunched her forehead and said "Waalikum hail!!"

"Rudi kost mas Aldi's first friend?"

"Let's right, Niha!, say hello back?"Nihaya was silent at Aldi's question. He had no interest in Rudi.

"Well, I'm going!"

Aldi approached the bike, then waved with a smile. They have not yet moved in, for a moment want to see the departure of Aldi drove away with his new bike.

A smile of success spread throughout Aldi's body, his lips whistling singing, his body slightly swaying to the left right. Sometimes his smile expands because he imagines Nurmala in a bonbar with her hands crossed at her waist.
