The Seed You Threw

Chapter 5

The small door was in a wide open corner, it was a contract. The small contract will now be the shelter of a girl named Kiran Sarasvati. Living in a remote settlement in the city of Mumbai, he could not rent a good place to live. The rest of the money from the cost of traveling to the concert venue yesterday is only a little left. He had to skimp to survive.

When Kiran was looking at her new residence, a clear liquid from the eye pelup fell. Her life has now changed, no more cheerful and luxurious looking girl. The tail of his eyes looked at a plastic bag filled with old clothes. He bought the clothes for himself, the used clothes he bought were still worth to wear.

He put the clothes into a worn-out closet that was without a cover. The rented mother did not prepare the facility because Kiran rented the room was quite cheap, maybe if it was renewed it would be equivalent to 500 thousand per month. There was only a bathroom that was blocked by the room where he slept. There is no kitchen or living room.

Shortly from there, the owner of the contract came, carrying a large enough size cloth. The plan will be used for bed curtains. Seeing the situation of Kiran, the heart of the owner of the contract named Neha was filled. The girl told me what happened to her. At first, Neha does not believe it, but after seeing Dev's photo and she finally believes it.

"Rest first, if you need a job you can meet me" Neha said.

Kiran nodded. "Yes, Neha. earlier thank you for accepting me to stay here," replied Kiran.

Kiran had been living in the slum for two days, until she came to see Neha. Kiran needs a job because she can't stand still. Food will not come by itself.

"Excuse me?" Kiran came to the confectionery store managed by her rented owner.

Neha also came while tying her long hair, justifying the sari she used. The woman had a family, only she had no children.

"Yes, Kiran," Neha answered.

Kiran and Neha talk, Neha helps Kiran to work. The woman takes Kiran to her best friend's workplace. Work as onion collectors, separating good quality onions with ordinary ones.

Kiran was stunned, smelling the scent of onions made her very nauseous. Plus, with her pregnant condition. Instantly, Kiran vomited. It made the onion factory owner feel disgusted.

"Ish, how about work just come in has been vomiting like this," said factory owner Ajay.

"I'm sorry, she's pregnant. Understand that she's nauseous" defended Neha. "Give him a job, kasian."

"Alright, come along" Ajay asked.

Neha nodded towards Kiran, telling her to follow the man.

"Teach him" Ajay told his other employees.

It doesn't take long for Kiran to understand the job, it's pretty easy. It's just that he can't resist the stinging smell of onions. Then, a woman gave Kiran a mask.

"Thank you" Kiran said after receiving the mask.

"Later also get used to it, at first I did too," said the one who gave the mask. "Whose name?" tanyanya.

"Kiran, my name is Kiran" he replied.

Kiran laughed because it was funny, finally there are people who want to be friends with her.

"Do you know who my mom is now?" Kiran shook her head.

"You must know Devgan, right? It's a singer who is now on the rise, mom is very happy to hear his voice," he explained.

Intentionally, Kiran wanted to tell her about him with Dev. But he undoes his intention because the woman will definitely not believe, after all he also does not want to be called crazy anymore because of his confession. Enough Neha knows about him.

Not felt today passed by Kiran, although heavy but she lived to survive with her future children. When he arrived, he was hungry. Looking at the contents of the wallet was very sad, but he had to buy food. Not yet he opened the door, it was knocked on by someone from outside.

"Kiran, open the door" said the man.

Kiran opened the door and saw Neha coming with a tray of food. Normally, Neha would hand out the rest of her sales. And today he gave it to Kiran. Not only sweets, Neha also brought bread and an apple that she bought yesterday.

"It's for me, you haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Kiran nodded then accepted the food. After Neha left, Kiran closed the door and continued to eat. Whether because he was hungry, he ate very greedy. No longer nauseous when smelling food, only he could not smell the onion. Whatever the circumstances, life must be lived because the work can make him survive.

There was no food left, everything was gone. The simple food was able to make Kiran sleepy, finally she laid her body on the thin bed. Only beralaskan mattress floor that the end has been torn. The room was a lot of mosquitoes, maybe this is what Neha gave her yesterday. Inside that mosquito net Kiran was able to sleep well tonight.

Whether tomorrow will face what life is like, it turns out the outside world is quite cruel. All this time he lived a good life with his parents, but it was only temporary because he had always been a comparison with his sister. Doesn't everyone have a different way of life? Not everyone is lucky, and so is love. He had no idea who his heart was anchored to.

***

Noisy sounds from outside have been heard, it means the activities of the residents have begun. Kiran woke up, then opened the window of the room which was directly directed at the street crowded with people. The unpleasant aroma was immediately smelled because the room Kiran occupied was close to the trash can. Who would complain to? He had to accept fate, because God could reverse one's life in an instant.

Kiran was getting ready for work, this time she brought the cloth as a protective device. Limiting her smell because she is so nauseous smelling the scent of onions. He could only hope that everything would get used to it.

***

Somewhere else.

Dev has repeatedly contacted Kiran, but her phone is not active. She was very worried, but she also could not meet him due to his busyness. His schedule is quite tight, and he is currently getting ready to perform.

"Dev, hurry!" exclaim Rohit.

They will do the briefing first. Dev doesn't really understand what the team is directing. Until that's done, Dev starts to get on stage. And there Dev makes a mistake. Not fatal, but enough to make the fans disappointed. Dev was wrong to sing the lyrics because of lack of concentration.

After singing, Rohit nagged. "What are you doing, Dev?! Almost your fans are disappointed, fortunately your performance is quite good so it can be overcome with it."

Dev did not answer, his head suddenly ached, until Dev fell unconscious.
