The Cruel Destiny
LIMA
Elmira stepped down the sidewalk, trying to ignore her hungry stomach.
Elmira always wondered, why the destiny of her life could be this bad.Sedari little she only lived alone with her father in a remote village, her father became a vegetable farmer, he was, and from the results of selling vegetables are used for the cost of daily meals and also for the cost of himself entering school.
And as soon as he graduated high school, the smart-brained Elmira got a scholarship to study at Light Stars university.At first her father forbade her to come to the city,but Elmira continues to convince her father that she wants to continue college in order to become a successful person.
The father who loved Elmira so much in the end could not resist the wishes of his beloved daughter.Elmira also left for the city to pursue her ideals, and left his father in a village that is still diligent in his work as a vegetable farmer.
Where is Elmira's mother?.
Elmira herself did not know the figure of her mother, which she knew that her mother had died while giving birth to her.
An hour later, Elmira had a complex of narrow and slum flats.All who lived there were those whose economy was lower class.
Elmira lives there so that she can get a cheap place to live.In addition, the rented distance and campus is only an hour if taken by foot.
Elmira climbed a wooden staircase to go to her room on the second floor, the stacking house was wooden floor and plywood walled.So Elmira was very careful when stepping her feet, she said, for fear if at any time the floor he stepped on broke down and endanger himself.
Actually it is not good if teenage girls like Elmira live in such a place, those who intend evil can do his intentions easily, because there is nothing that guarantees the safety of the inhabitants of the complex.
But how else, it is the circumstances that make him have to live a life of deprivation.
After all if he complained or even cursed his fate so badly, it would not change his life for the better.
"Just come home El?"Saya was a woman about thirty-five years old, she was a resident in the room next to Elmira.
"Yes, Aunt Cira wants to go to work?"Elmira asked with a smile.
"Yes El, it's already Aunty left for work first yes"Jawab Cira while passing away.
RISOL Club'nBar is the name where Cira works, it is one of the most popular entertainment venues in the city.
After his neighbor left Elmira went into his room that was not too wide, a worn-out folding mattress seemed to be stretched out near the wall, there was a thin blanket whose color began to fade,in the corner of the room there is a cardboard box containing several pieces of his clothes.
Elmira closed the door to her room, then she put her bag on a small study table that could be folded.
Because his stomach was already feeling very hungry he decided to eat first.Elmira cooked rice using a rice cooker that he bought at a thrift store at a cheap price.
Elmira ate well,although the side dish is only in the form of salt and fried tempeh that he bought this morning.He is always grateful to still be able to eat even with the important side dishes his stomach is full and he did not starve.
After eating Elmira rest for a while, he saw the clock on his old phone had shown five o'clock in the afternoon more fifteen minutes.He must immediately get ready, he had to get ready, to work part time in a cafe located about five meters from the front of the complex alley.
Once felt enough, then down to shower in the bathroom located next to the building.There are three bathrooms that can be used by all residents of the flats.
All the inhabitants of this apartment numbered about twelve people including Elmira, and they were all always busy with their respective affairs.
Not long after, Elmira finished her bath and prepared to leave for work.
●●●
Exactly at six in the afternoon Elmira arrived at her place of work, she came in a brown work uniform, she was wrapped in a bag containing a module book that she would read at leisure.
"Good afternoon Brother Kenzi "Sapa Elmira with a smile.
The cafe has four employees, namely Elmira, Dita, Kenzi and Farel.The four of them are divided into two shifts, and Elmira more often works on the night shift, and the four of them work on the night shift,and tonight his shift friend is Kenzi who is a final-level student at a state campus in the city.
"Sore is also El, you happen to have come, please clean the table, let me tidy up the pantry table "Steel Kenzi who immediately gave the task to Elmira.
And the girl agreed with pleasure, lucky only the three seniors were kind to him so Elmira felt at home working in the cafe.
TWIST Cafe is famous among young people, in addition to the price of food and drinks are cheap, the taste is also guaranteed to be delicious.In addition there is also free wifi that makes guests more comfortable to hang out there.
Elmira who is in the pantry is in charge of recording orders and making drinks, while Kenzi who is more senior in charge of cooking food.
Not feeling the clock has shown at ten o'clock at night, Elmira and Kenzi began to clean up and prepare to close the cafe.
At half-eleven, they were ready to go home.
"El, come home with me" said Kenzi after locking the door of the cafe.
"It's okay if I keep having to take care of my brother?"Elmira asked a little.
Because for a week he worked at the cafe, if he happened to be one shift with Kenzi then the man must have driven him to the front of the alley.
"That's okay, the place is deket and also in the same direction" Kenzi's answer.
"Yes, but don't let brother Kenzi's girlfriend be angry with me because of jealousy "Seloroh Elmira.
"Look away, my sister's boyfriend is not jealous when his man "Kenzi said what it is.
Finally, Elmira also joined Kenzi who uses a matic motorbike.
Less than five minutes arrived Elmira in front of the rented house alley, because it was a short distance so it did not take long to reach it.
"Thank you, sister" said Elmira.
"Yes equally, if that brother goes home" Kenzi said then pulled the motor gas left Elmira who also directly walked to her contract which is about two hundred meters from the front of the alley.
Elmira walked quietly to her rented, because on the right left side of the road there are houses that belong to residents there.But still Elmira was vigilant, because crime can occur at any time and in silence.
But Elmira was always grateful because she always came home safe.
Until in her room Elmira immediately lay her body in a thin mattress, her tired body makes her quickly lulled in a dream.
There's not much Elmira wants, she just hopes someday her life will be better than it is today.
