The fragile heart of women
Chapters 2. Wira Contract.



Tama and I followed our friend Wira, because only she had memorized the state of the city. Wira had already worked in that city, while we both had only first gone to the city.


"Where's your contract, Wir? Is it a long time?" I was impatient, I wanted to take a shower and rest. My body feels so sticky and stinky. Last night on the bus, it made me feel crumpled.


"There are soon, be patient!" said Wira continued to walk into the narrow alley, the two of us could only follow her footsteps.


"Rubby, Wir!" mooed Tama stopped his steps.


"Noh .. hire me!" wira said showing a house is not too small and not too big, made of wooden planks, elongated, two-story. There are many doors.


Wira took her two friends up the stairs made of bamboo to go to her rented on the second floor, after we were on the second floor, Wira immediately invited us to her rented room. How surprised we were, it turned out that the place where the contracted Hero had only one room that looked so narrow. I gawk at the contents of the room, or contract Wira . "This is your contract, Wir?" my many.


"Yes, why?" ask back, Wira.


"It's okay, because your contract is like our home in the village, he ..." I said with a grin.


"Seriously, this is your contract just this way? Is there only one room? Where will we sleep? Where's the bathroom?" Tama looks shocked, he stormed a lot of questions for his best friend.


"For while we sleep three in this place. Already ... do not on the carrot, put your things in the corner there, continue you if you want to take a shower, the bathroom is below. Let me show you the bathroom! Uh.. wait a minute, the waterman arrived at eight in the morning. Be patient if you want to take a shower!" said Wira makes us both more gawking.


"I mean, Wir?" my question is getting confused.


"I don't have a water stock, I have to wait for people to sell water around" explained Wira. Tama and I remained silent, not understanding.


"Buy water?" ask us both at the same time.


"Often surprised, don't overdo it!" say Wira with ease.


"Give it up, Tam, we'll just let it go. I've already come here!" I said to Tama who looked so disappointed.


"There's really no better contract than this, Wir?" tama asked as she wagged her hand as she walked to put her luggage to the corner of the room indicated by Wira.


"There is, but the rent is expensive, for building work like me, where it can pay." explained Wira.


"Calm down, it's only temporary for the two of you, before you both have your own money to rent a contract. Tomorrow I'll introduce you to a marketer who's looking for employees to help out at his shop!"


"Not far, the place from here, Wir?" my many.


"No, it's only twenty minutes from here" Wira said.


"Huh ...." Tama laid her body on the floor of the cement, barefooted. "Okay, I'm tired" said Tama can't think anymore because his body feels so tired.


I prefer to go out, stand on the terrace alone, while Wira down again down.


"This is the city of Jakarta? A place where many people come to find work in this place . Many people believe that if they come to this city, their lives will be much better. I thought the place was so pleasant, it turned out that the reality was not what I had imagined," I muttered inwardly.
