The Poor Girl's Match

Chapter 7

 

The morning was bright, as if the sun was shining on the earth. The little\-birds that were chirping each other, added to the shahdu this morning.

 

Right today the sari is about to leave for the city, starting to improve life by migrating there. The destination city of Sari is Jakarta. A city full of frenzied people overseas who look for a mouthful of rice there. But it did not scare the sari nor undo his intentions. With the intention that he had, Sari ventured to complain about his fate there, for the sake of his two parents, their happiness, sari would do anything as long as it was still in the way of God.

 

Pak pardi and bu siti are waiting for the sari in the middle room. Sari who was still in the room tidied up the clothes to be put in the bag.

 

Just a few pieces of clothes that he carried, because his bag could not hold many items, just a small bag that he had.

After feeling all was done, sari then out of the room, and meet her parents who were waiting for her.

 

Sir, mum.... Sari's leaving, yeah"! said sari, while sitting approaching her parents.

 

"Yes son, you be careful there, take care of yourself well.don't forget to pray" said the glassy bu siti.

 

"Yes mom.... Mother and father just calm down, sari can take care of themselves, do not worry about sari, doain sari yes.hopefully sari can get a job as soon as her" said sari grasping her mother's hand.

"We will always pray for you, son, because only prayers can be given to you. Father's message, if later you are there not getting a job, go home, do not force yourself, the door is always open for you" said pardi.

"Yes sir.... Yes already, the sari departs now yes, later in the afternoon, the same father of the mother take care of himself as long as the sari is not there" said sari while kissing the hand of pak pardi and bu siti.

" I'm sorry you can't drive you, you're careful\-care" said pardi.

"it's okay\-what sir, until next sari ride ojek make to the terminal....

 

assalamualaikum" said sari.

 

"Walaikumsalam." said bu siti and pak pardi together.

 

"Be careful son". said the little lady who cried because Sari had walked away from her house.

Sari replied with a wave of her hand as she continued walking, towards the front road.

 

Ms. Siti and pardi look sad to see her one\-one child go far, only this time they abandoned the sari maybe in a long time. Ms. Siti who had shed tears still stood in front of the house to see the departure of her child, even though the sari was no longer visible.

 

"Already ma'am, don't cry, go to work not to leave us. If sari saw mom crying for sure he would be sad" said pak pardi calm his wife.

"Mommy's just heavy sir let go of the sari go far. How will he be there sir, there are no friends or relatives" said Ms siti sad.

"Sari is big, has grown up, do not think that is not\-no ma'am, should his mother pray sari, not even cry over her" added pardi.

Ms. Siti wiped her tears, true what her husband said, only prayers can be given to her child, her only child. Although the heart of bu siti still feels heavy, but bu siti must give up, anyway the departure of the sari for both of them. Mr. Pardi and his final bu siti went into the house. Once in the taste of the sari is really\-a long way away from home.

"Wait for sari sir, mom. sari will return" inner sari while continuing to walk.

It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the front road, which is the main road out of his village.. Sari's headed to the ojek base. Sari chose to take an ojek to go to the bus terminal, the distance to the terminal is about 30 minutes by vehicle.

"Pak umar, sari asked to be escorted to the terminal can?" ask the sari to the ojek builder, who turns out to be a sari neighbor who works as a motorcycle taxi driver.

"Sari, where are you going to take all the bags?" tanya pak umar was a bit surprised to see sari carrying a bag.

"Let's go to the city sir, want to work there" replied sari sober.

"Jaudah sari let's take you to the terminal, hunt for daylight, let it not be hot!" mr. umar said without saying much more.

Sari immediately got on the bike and then went to the terminal.

Arriving at the terminal, Sari spent money to pay his ojek.

"This is his money pack" said Sari while giving up 50 thousand money to pak umar.

"No need to sar, just save the money for your fare to the city!"pak umar refused to give the sari.

"Do not do so sir, this is already the right of the father.sari there is still money to charge there.please accept yes sir!" said sari...

"yes I have received, this is the change" said Mr. umar while reaching into his pants pocket.

"No, sir, you keep the change. Sari hurried\-hurry, later afraid she missed the bus, thank you sir... Sari...Assalamualaikum" said sari as she walked to the bus.

"walaikumsalam...thank you sar...you are careful\-care there". said pak umar with a little shout, because the sari is getting away.

Sari headed to the bus parking lot, there are several buses that are still popular. Sari chose a bus with a major in Jakarta.

After finding his bus soon he entered and looking for a comfortable seat, because the distance to the city will take a long time, about 5 hours.

Not long after the sari sits, finally the bus leaves, heading to Jakarta.

"Bismillah, may this be a good beginning, always protect the servant and family of the servant of God.

Sari chose to sit behind the driver next to the window, so she could look ahead or to the side to see her long journey. Understandably, only once did sari take the bus and go far. Enough to make the heart of the sari happy to be able to see around from the bus.

Over time drowsiness approached... The end of her sari chooses to sleep.continue the journey along with her dreams.
