The Tomboy Babysitter the Heart Thief

CHAPTER 6

Suci breathed a sigh of relief when he found his cellphone which he accidentally put on the bottom of his bag. Although not a sophisticated mobile phone like a girl his age, it is still important for him. He bought it by collecting little by little the wages he got from taking care of the duck cage. Suddenly he felt guilty for not saying goodbye to the owner of the cage before leaving for the city. Uh! Let it be father's business.

"Alhamdulillah" he said.

"Thank God that your phone is not taken too," said the shop owner.

"Yes, Mom. If my phone is gone, I'll be more confused."

"Where are you going?"

"I am from a prosperous village willing to work in this city."

"What work?"

"Baby babysitter. Oh yes, Mum. I'd like to call my friend to pick me up. The money I have is just that in the wallet" said Suci. The owner of the shop nodded in understanding.

[Hello, Din]

[Yes, Ci. Have you arrived in town yet?]

[Already, Din. I just got to the terminal]

[Now you get out of the terminal, then take the blue freight. Tell the driver to stop at the Azzalea Estate. The cost is ten thousand]

[But Din. .]

[But why?]

[I don't have the cost of taking a ride. My wallet is gone]

[Gosh. Why are you so careless?]

[When I was on the bus, a passenger gave me a bottle of mineral water. I don't remember anything else after drinking it. When I woke up, my wallet was gone]

[It must be the passenger who stole your wallet. The drink has been mixed with sleeping pills to make you sleepy]

[Din, can you pick me up at the terminal right now? I don't even have the money to pay for food at the rice stall]

Dina who was across there fell silent.

[Hello, Din. You're still there, aren't you? Why are you quiet?]

[Sorry, Ci. My employer won't let me out at five in the afternoon]

[So, how did I get to the family home that needed the babysitter? You're the only one who can help me]

[Ehm, tell you what. How about I ask my girlfriend to come get you? Just wait at the terminal entrance. Let him drive you to the house of the person who needs the services of the baby sitter.]

[Sorry it's been a hassle]

[You're so rich talking to anybody. You wait at the terminal entrance. In a moment

Rio's going to pick you up]

[Thank you, Din.]

- Interrupted calls

"Sorry, Mom. I don't have the money to pay for the food. I promise if I have a payday later, I will pay my debt," said Suci to the owner of the food stall.

He thought the shop owner would get angry or tell him to wash the dishes to replace the food he had bought. However, he did not expect to still be met with good people in this foreign city.

"It's okay, I understand you're having a hard time. Money can be replaced sometime."

"Thank you, Mom." Saints grabbed the hand of the owner of the stall and kissed him full of reverence.

"I'll excuse you, Mom."

"It's a little money. Hope it's useful." The owner of the stall slipped some money in the hands of the Saints.

"What is this, Mom? Don't bother. Mom let me just owe you I already thank you very much."

"It's okay, Ma'am. God willing I am sincere. As humans we have to help each other, right?"

"Oh yeah, can I know Mom's name?"

"People here usually call me Bu Tegal. As per my hometown."

"I'll excuse you then. Assalamu'alaikum."

"Waalaikumsalam, be careful."

The time had already shown at half six in the afternoon but the person who was going to pick him up had not yet appeared. He called Dina again.

[My boyfriend said he was already heading there. Maybe we'll be here soon]

Sure enough, just a few moments after hanging up his phone, a man his age came and approached Suci who was now standing at the entrance of the terminal.

"You're Dina's friend, right?" tabya the man.

"I-i-iya, Mom."

"wait. It seems like your face is no stranger to me." The man then observed the Holy appearance from the tip of his hair to the tip of his foot.

"You're Holy, right?''

"How do you know me? It seems we've never met before."

"It's me, Ari. We were once a Junior High school class."

The Holy Turn that was observing Ari's appearance or that somehow his name was now changed to Rio.

"You're Ari Prasetyo, right? Who used to sit behind my bench? Sorry, I barely recognize you."

Prasetyo Ari. Although not a prominent student in his school first, but Ari is quite good at art lessons. Every time their teacher gave them the task of drawing, Ari was the one who would get the highest grade in the class.

"Yes, I'm Ari Prasetyo. Time you pangling with your own friends]

"Your appearance changed 180 degrees. Your body was thin and your skin was dark. Now that your body is full, your skin is also a little cleaner."

"Maybe it's because I work in an AC room everyday."

"Where do you work?"

"In Indo-May. Today I went to night shift. Yes it's gone up fast. I'm taking you to your employer's house."

"What is his house far away?"

"No. Fifteen minutes on the motor."

Suci then piggybacked on Ari's motorcycle.

When in the middle of the journey unexpected events occur. At the red light. When the switch from yellow light to black color, whether intentional or not, the, a red sedan car drove at speed overtaking the motorcycle they were riding to nudge one of the rearviews of the two-wheeled vehicle. The matic motorcycle also fell. Instead of stopping or apologizing, the car just drove away from the place.

"The car owner has no ethics!

If you're handsome I swear to be my husband!" the Holy Orphan while holding the elbow of his hand that was injured due to a fall on the paved road.

"Everywhere I swear it's ugly. Why do you swear that?" ari protest trying to lift his motorcycle.

"I don't know, all of a sudden those words come out." Saints chuckle.

"You're okay, right?" ask Ari.

"Just like this, small. It will heal itself."

"From the beginning you never change, tough and unyielding," Ari praised.

"The regime! Pim! Pim! Whoi! Walk quickly! You think this is your grandmother's street!" a road user exclaimed from inside his car.

"Is this how street users behave in the city? They do as they please" said Suci.

"Not everyone in town is as bad as you think. I've been working in this city long enough, there's still good people."

Fifteen minutes later, the two arrived at a house. Ari who already knew the security in the house also introduced Suci to him.

"I go first, hopefully you feel at home working here," said Rio or the real name Ari.

"Thank you for driving me."

Not long after Ari left the house.

"Come, Ma'am. I interceded to meet the master and mistress," said security named Bondan.

Saints took a deep breath before stepping foot in the two-story mansion. The house that will soon be the place to work to save his family. However, his steps came to a halt as he crossed a car parked in the spacious yard.

"Well, this car, …"
