The End of the Betrayal

The End of the Betrayal
Arriving at Kampung Lapangan



After a long, long journey, I finally reached my homeland. According to my estimation, in about ten to fifteen minutes, I reached my parents' house. Previously I had already told the reason I came home, I reasoned that my work time was up so I would not want to go home.


Several times I pulled this lip as if I was practicing smiling, I was like a person who forgot how to smile. After a few practice times I can smile that looks natural, a myriad of answers to the questions of my neighbors and parents have been prepared. Maybe there will be a lot of paparazzi who kepo on the grounds I return home.


It has become a habit of villagers when we go home not on holidays, then many will ask what is the matter and why go home? Fortunately my house and Yuda is not one village, aka another village so that the news of my return can at least be safe to the ears of the Yuda family, and I also warned my family not to discuss my failed love story with Judah.


"Mr..." My sister who seemed to have been waiting since then immediately rushed into my arms, when she found out that I had reached home.


"Mother, where's Li going?" I asked when I only saw my sister welcome me home.


"Again the Mbak bean harvest, Lili was willing to come but said Mother let at home just waiting for Mbak Tia home," jatan Lili, whose sister is currently in high school in the first grade, looks very happy because I came home after a long time wandering.


"Yes yuk already in, Ma'am already very cape," I said, when I was actually a little unprepared when the neighbors knew that I had come home, coincidentally my hometown is the distance from one house to the neighbor's house far enough that my return is not well known by the neighbors. Actually the neighbors know I came home was not a problem, it's just that sometimes the villagers were too involved in what was not his business, in contrast to in the city sometimes the neighbors cuek-cuek.


I was preparing to thicken my ears. "Sir, he said Mbak Tia his work contract expired so go home?" ask Lili while opening her souvenirs that I bought while on the road.


"Yes Li, that's why Ma'am came home first while looking for another job," I replied from the origin, even though I myself am still confused what I will do in the future considering myself if in the village can not find a job, and if opening a business was likely to succeed very difficult considering my village population is not as crowded in the city, open shops, food stalls sometimes capital out of profit does not exist, and there is no capital, and the majority in Kampung ku are farmers and gardens so as it has become a hereditary tradition if the great choice is only two, namely being a farmer to continue the family business hereditary, he said, or else it'll go wandering like I did.


"What kind of job is Tia looking for?" asked Lili as if she was even more knowledgeable about her plans.


I inhaled a deep breath, not yet my sense of loss I have been asked to find a job what? "What is important is there work, you know for yourself that the mother in the village her job is just grumbling Mother and Father," I resignedly replied, the important work what do.


Actually, I could have joined the idea of the Mission yesterday to remain silent on the contract and look for a new job, which is, but if that's the way Mr. Gala will be easy to track me and I do not keep Mr. Piter's words. Even though I promised myself that I would not use the money that the rich man gave me, I'll keep the money in the bank and maybe if God brings us back together I'll give the money back. Not arrogant, but I better eat money that is clearly the result of my hard work. Than to eat money that is not clear.


"Mbak, kemrin Bi Isah nyariin people make work as maids Ma'am Tia would not be a maid? If you want to say the same Bi Isah, said Bi Isah her work relaxed her employer well, was once the employer of Bi Isah, but her son Bi Isah was sick, was sick, falling from the motorcycle so Bi Isah can not return to his employer's house so look for a replacement for Bi Isah's work," explained Lili with enthusiasm. I just kept quiet to see Lili's explanation.


Actually it does not matter if you want to be a maid or nanny, but the problem is that this is still hot when you have to take the bus again if you go to Jakarta.


"Will you?" ask Lili again, maybe my brother means well, he who already knows the people here must be afraid that I will be in the neighboring gibahin because it is only a burden on the lives of parents.


"Yes, you have asked Bi Isah. Ma'am wants to sleep first, last night on the road can not sleep," I said by preparing to change clothes and rest eliminate cape and thoughts, because it was too hard to think so that I could not rest all the way. Almost all my friends in one car travel at rest, I just can not rest. Ever since I left the capital, my phone has been turned off, all social media I deleted and I have changed a new number, I'm sure Mr. Gala is currently in a fog because usually I always exchange news, but since last night I have disappeared, all contact has been broken so that Mr. Gala can not find my whereabouts.


My heavy eyes were forced to open, as these ears were pierced by the noise. I saw the clock on my phone. "It should still feel sleepy, I just slept an hour," my mind but I was curious because it seems my name was said to be forced to go outside the room using a hijab when I was in school.


I shook hands with Mom and Dad who turned out to have come home from the garden, and did not forget I also shook hands with Bi Isah, well I know her Bi Isah after the middle-aged woman introduced herself. I don't really know her because her house is far away from mine.


"Tia, said Lili you're looking for a job?" ask Bi Isah without saying stale directly to the topic of the problem.


I looked at Mom and Dad whose face looked very tired, every day if not to the garden to the rice fields all for the sake of financing my sister's school, if I do not work there I am increasingly burdened with the needs of parents, so as the oldest brother I also want to help ease the needs of Mother and Father.


"Yes Bi, Tia just finished her contract so go home, and if Bibi has a job Tia wants, than in the village do not know what business?" I answered a little bit of a lie, but it's okay to lie for good.


"There's an Aunt working as a maid, but the former Aunt's employer is very good, actually if Bibi does not take care of Aunt's child, want to leave again, but if you leave again Aunt's child no one takes care of, actually, his job is just clean house, cook also not every day and nemanin employer because he only lives alone, a good employer does not bring make a salary of four million already clean, clean, and the matter of soap and all other needs has been borne by the employer. How do you want to not?" ask Bi Isah.


the class of four million salary helpers has included a large, yesterday my basic salary was four million because I was diligent overtime so sometimes it can be five million or even six million, and if this clean maid is four million, there's no reason for me to refuse.


"May Bi, who knows even Tia's sustenance from there," I said without much thought I could immediately. Regarding the cape is so much business, let the hot bokoong sit in the important bus seat I can return to work.


Yes, in the first try, Aunty just used to work at the employer from young to old gini, insyaAllah you will feel at home his master is good not bawel and like a friend himself. In fact Bi Isah feels already rich own house, but how well, say the same child than the employer," said Bi Isah, which I also became the spirit to re-saw the sustenance, which is good for me, excited to return.


We also continued to chat especially about the habits of the employer Bi Isah and many more are quite a basic science before I actually work as a maid.


"Continue to say when did Tia start taking off Bi?" I ask bia I can be ready.


"Later Bi Isah wants to ask the employer first, the important thing is that you are ready so if Bibi says you leave you are ready."


#Well, coming home is just a face for Tia?....


Seriate....
