The Poor Girl's Match

Chapter 9

 

The afternoon. The bus that is boarded by its final sari arrives at its destination. Bus stops at the terminal. The clock shows at 5 pm, the journey that should be 5 hours, becomes more because of congestion.

Sari and maam marni get off the bus, before they continue their journey back to the boarding house, they stop by first to the soto stalls around the terminal. Their stomachs felt very hungry, because it was only in a wedge with bread.

 

After they sat in the stall and ordered the food, Sari asked the place of the boarding house.

 

"His cost is ma'am far from here?"

"Still quite far sar, later we ride the angkot just go home to the boarding house. Now we eat first fill the stomach that was rumbling from earlier" said Ms. Marni while holding her stomach.

No need to wait long, the end of their order came, 2 servings of chicken soto and 2 glasses of sweet iced tea.

Sari and ma'am marni, eat very greedily.. Their stomachs were really rumbling. In a moment their food was gone. His final fullness approached them.

After they finished eating and paying for it, they went to look for public transport.

It's not hard to find her. Still afternoon like this there are some public transportation that is still waiting for passengers around the terminal.

On the way home, in the angkot sari asked mam marni.

"Is it still far away from her nyampe?"

"In a moment until sar, why?" ask marni back.

"Sari want to take a bath mom, the taste of the essence body is sticky, not at home" said cengengesan sari while holding her body.

"I guess why.patient, wait a minute, not nyampe 5 minutes anyway! " said mama marni.

Not until the last 5 minutes they also arrived at the boarding place bu marni.. From the way they descended from the angkot, they were still walking into the alley about 100 meters away. And arrived at the boarding house of Miss Marni.

Miss Marni immediately let the sari in.. In a small cost there are only 1 mattress, 1 cupboard, 1 table and there is a bathroom.

"Let's come in, said her you want to take a bath, but sorry, the boarding is small" said the marni while putting her luggage on the floor.

" It's okay\-nothing ma'am, even looks comfortable if according to the sari. Yes, I want to take a shower first, ma'am" said sari.

Then take a change of clothes in her bag, and go to the bathroom.

Miss Marni has lived alone in the hostel for a long time. Since he first came to Jakarta. Just like the sari, mama marni also has no relatives here, only herself struggling to support her family who are in the village.

Ms. Marni's job does not require sleeping in her place of work. His boss allows him to go home or sleep at work. But mam Marni prefers to go home to the boarding house, because it is more free.

Not long after the sari had finished bathing. Her body now feels fresher and more comfortable. Along with the time of the adhan maghrib who has been reverberating, sari immediately took the mukena that is still in the bag, then performed his worship, before his sari had ablution along with his bath earlier.

Then replace the marni who took a bath, because she also felt uncomfortable with her own body.

After everything is done, from bathing, praying and tidying up each other's clothes. Miss Marni and sari lay her body on the mattress on the floor because the boarding house does not provide a bed. The mattress is large enough, enough to accommodate the body of the sari and bu marni.

While lying down they talked to each other and shared stories.

"When do you know where Marni lives?" ask sari

"Mother lives in watu kulon village, if you?" ask marni back.

"You live at home with everyone, and why are you looking for a job here, is there no sar work?" ask mam marni bertubi\-tubi.

"I'm in the village living with mom's parents, I'm an only child, so at home only three. Before I came here I worked selling tofu in the bu market, but because income is erratic and not enough to meet daily needs\-day, finally I intend to go here looking for a job". clearly sari is long.

"You choose the right path, your intentions are good, you are young, and your future is still long, you have to reach your goals and dreams. Make your parents proud, God gives fortune can be from anywhere and anytime.

"God willing, ma'am, sari will struggle even though sari does not know where to find a job, but tomorrow sari will try to find a job. Doain sari ya ma'am!" sari

"Mam mar doain. In the past mother was also like you, came here did not know where to work, with capital desperate and trying, pray, the end of her mother got a job, even though she was a housekeeper, she said, but the mother feels comfortable and happy, because of the results of work for 5 years, the mother can send the children\-children and meet their needs" story mam marni at length.

"Mar Bu great, wonder womanlah his tree, sari salut same mother.sari also want the spirit of kayak bu mar" exclaimed sari while giving 2 thumbs to mam marni.

"Should be spirit dong. because with passion we will not feel tired with the burden we bear" said mam Marni.

"Siapp ma mar"....

After performing the prayer, mam marni offers a meal to the sari
