The Torrent of Longing

Occupations

>>News from the view Fadhil<<

That day I just found out that my twin is a successful businessman in his city. It is very different from me who lives very simply in a very remote village in Kalimantan.

After he left me disrespectfully, I was still sitting in the same seat without even budging. I didn't have time to say anything after I told him everything, he just left me. Truly, people who have been successful do not want their time to be used in the slightest for other things. I thought, what about her son? Is he just more concerned with work than his son? Or is she unmarried for being too attached to work? I don't know.. I don't care about that arrogant guy anymore.

The day started late in the afternoon, I left the cafe after a long time of contemplation there.

I came home feeling very disappointed. Because the person I've been looking for hasn't welcomed me. I'm confused now what to do. My only purpose here is to see him.

Shortly after I got home, someone came. But, he didn't say anything. He just gave me a package that I don't know who the sender was.

I opened the package and it turned out to contain a heavy meal that I was guessing was definitely an expensive meal. But, who's the sender? I'm here with no one. Or is this Fadhli's shipment and put poison in this food to get me poisoned?

I just looked at the food, without daring to touch it. I think a hundred times to eat it or not.

"If this food is poisonous, then I will die of poisoning. And if this food isn't poisonous, then I'll starve to death because I don't have the money to spare in the future" my inner self

I also decided to eat it. I don't know what's going to happen, it's business lately. After all, I've been feeling hungry ever since.

I'm trying to find a job in this town. I don't know, trying's better than just sitting on my hands. If rejected it is common, even though it hurts. The unusual thing is to keep trying even a thousand times, because failure is not the end of everything but the beginning of a real life match.

I've tried applying for jobs in various places, but it's all for nothing. It's getting late, maybe the money I have now is just enough for lunch. I looked at my wallet and there was only 20 grand. I spent a lot of money just to get here, to the town where my twin brother lives. I decided to buy mineral water and a packet of bread to prop up the stomach.

"Maybe later in the afternoon I can eat well" my mind

It's late afternoon. I asked someone who was waiting at the bus stop.

"Sorry pa.. Can I have a minute?" much

"Yes. What's up?"

"Do fathers have contacts who need workers? Right now, I really need a job"

"Eum.. For a moment. Last week there was, someone was looking for employees to work in the store"

"Can you still pa?"

"This is my business card. I was in a hurry. Later you just call me" he said as he entered the bus that was in front of him

"Good pa. Thank you very much"

I still have hope of surviving in this town. May luck be on my side.

(A few months later)

I'm so grateful. Now I've been entrusted with managing a rather large store. I became Store Manager at a pretty famous cake shop. The Goddess Portuna was very on my side.

After a few days of getting a job, I ventured to see Fadhli again. Maybe this time he will appreciate me because I already have a position. Hope so.

I waited in front of his office, waiting for lunch. And the time has come.

I walked up to him while fixing his collar.

"Excuse me, can I have a minute for you?" much

"Gee.. You have been successful now, right? Who have you managed to fool?" he asked in a soft tone after paying attention to my appearance from the bottom up

It is a very painful statement and question. But I try not to get emotional. Because everything will be in vain if it is resolved with emotions.

"I'm sorry, but I want to talk to you. I don't want to find trouble with you either" I said

"You want to talk, especially? Do you now want to claim to be my real father? Or the messenger of God? Or even you want to claim to be a fairy who can grant anything in exchange for money? Hmm?" he said with a condescending tone as well as being soft

I clenched my hand even more, for a long time I could not hold back the emotions with this person. People who don't know how to appreciate others.

"Alright, alright.. I will take my time for you 'Mr'" he said, stressing the word 'Master' and with a very irritating facial expression

He walked to a park not far from his office, and I followed him.

"So, what do you want to talk about, sir?" tannya

"I wanted to clarify our problems at that time. I want to prove that I'm not the trickster you think I am. Can you see this?" I said while showing you a business card

"Ow.. Manager huh?" he said somewhat underestimating

"Once again I stress, I am not a fraud. I just want to tell you what really happened to both of us. Although I don't have any solid evidence, but I do have your old home address"

"the relation?" tannya

I told him everything from beginning to end, from looking for his address and being able to meet him here.

"Why are you so sure of me?" ask her with a voice that has been humbled

"Take a look at this" I showed you the address of the house I was looking for a long time ago

"Is this really your old home address?" much

He was silent for a moment and then suddenly he hugged me. With reflexes I pushed him, because I felt disgusted to cuddle with men in public.

"I'm sorry for all my treatment.. I believe in you, forgive me.. Once again forgive me" he said in a trembling tone of voice as people wanted to cry as he continued to hold my hand. Honestly, I feel so uncomfortable with that, but what can I do

"Easy-after.. Where is mom now? Is he still alive?" I asked while trying to release his hand

"I-mom.. Mother.. I may have met my father in a different realm than ours" he said

"Innalilahi wa innaliahi rojiun" I said

"Can you take me to his grave?"

"Can-can.. Maybe he will be happy if the arrival of a child that he has not met for a long time" he said

"Now? How's work?" much

"Either.. I want to do this as my apology to you"
