The Black Valley Becomes the Empress

The Part 16a

"Father never gets tired. He works day and night. Maybe he was asleep for a few hours a day. Early in the morning, my father left. When the rooster begins to crow, before the Adhan shubuh reverberate, before the sun shows itself and comes home in the evening to pick up the night. Go home just to shower and eat and then go again when the night wind starts blowing. Go in a green uniform and stand guard for village security, when all my neighbors are fast asleep. Our lives were very sad at that time, until one day we had to leave the house because we could not pay the loan amount. Then we live in the house of grandmother, the house is very small.diting house made of woven bamboo. floors of wood are arranged on the ground" Tears began to drip from the corner of my eye. "My childhood was taken away by a real burden I was not ready to bear. I was alone then. I have no place to share" I continued again. I was silent for a moment. Slowly I lifted my glass, put water in it through my esophagus and started smoking my cigarette.

"Why don't you talk to your father?" asked oom robi while I was still silent without continuing my words.

"I don't want you to feel guilty just because I'm impressed"

"Or maybe to your grandmother?"

"Even I've never met Grandma. My grandmother said she died when I was 6 months in the womb. The house we live in is a legacy for the father, the house is empty. I'm assigned the father to clean the house once every 2 days"

"Your father's family, uncle or aunt?"

"The father of an only child and mother said the father of an orphan. grew up in an orphanage" I heard a long sigh oom robi. "oom now it's 1 o'clock you know" I said.

"Oh okay means I still have an hour to listen to the continuation of your life story" I frowned. "Did he come here just want to hear a fairy tale about my life journey" I asked in my heart. Oom robi smiled, apparently understanding my confusion.

"I came here just to share my story" she smiled. "I tell you about my life, or am I listening about their life?"

"Huhahah, huh,. Oom robi... why not just tell a fellow oom robi?"

"They know me, they know my family. If I force them to tell stories, there may be parts that they think are embarrassing to be in the umbar they will just skip. Because of the shame maybe. or if I tell them, it is also impossible for me to tell you ever visited a brothel. hahahha. I choose you, because we don't know each other. Then I will be able to expose all my problems to you without having to be afraid if you will divulge my secrets" he continued. Yes, I do understand and understand very well the reason for oom robi, but I do not understand how to waste money just to chat like this.

"Can I continue?" ask him again.I who still do not believe in his words just now, back to tell the journey of my life.

"Just the day has changed, but not with our fate. The need continues to increase. My youngest sister is no longer drinking expensive formula, but our needs increase for the cost of my school and sister to my two. I had a chance to talk to my father, to just stop school. Let my two sisters only go to school. I'm the one giving up. That way I can help you make money. But my father refused my wish. I continue to be forced to go to school. Dad is still strong enough to send you to school, said the father when I repeatedly asked to stop school. Dad always said I had to go to school as high as possible so that our lives wouldn't be like this" tears were pouring down my cheeks. Ahh, if you know my work now I'm sure you will be very disappointed in me. The struggle first when sending me, every drop of sweat will be in vain. "The father is more concerned with us than his personal interests. Day and night you work for the school fees of the three of us. It feels so painful to remember all that oom. Every time I remember that day, I hate my mother" tears keep dripping from the corners of my eyes.

"Hmmm" said someone while elbowing my arm. I only glanced at her at a glance.The sweet smile was on my lips.

"Ehh" I said in shock.

"New girlfriend?" ask the woman again. He is my work partner too. The room is right next to me.

"No. New" I replied. Laughter sounded so loud in my ears.

"Where maybe the queen of this place until willingly nganterin his guests to the door, see also until the cross behind the crowd if not special. Can you please, huh?"

"Ah gak's. I don't want to be with him. From the first day she came home, I wasn't touched by her"

"Well, seriously?"

"Yes"

"Where is it possible?" he said his face looked confused.

"You were ever the same?"

"Even I just saw his face. Got him can't stand times. Hahahah" he said again. I was surprised to hear his last words, and then we laughed together.
