The Unconsidered Bungsu

CHAPTER 69 Accepted Work

At night before bedtime, around 21:00 Raka sent a message WA.

[Aira, I've read your message. Winda also notified me this afternoon. Of course I prefer to work in the city of birth, let alone have you waiting for me 😊 ]

[So on, when to go home ]

[So I asked my boss for permission if he wanted to go home. I've also said the same sirde and bude if I can call the test. That's why I want to go home in the morning after dawn. ]

[Oh, tomorrow don't forget to tell me if you want to leave. Now you pack your things first, lest anyone miss. ]

[Sheep the princess, wait for me huh. Kangeeen really 😍 ]

[I'm also kangen, already now you pack first keep on resting. ]

[ Okay boss 😁 ]

Relieved. Finally Raka was able to call as well after waiting for about a month. Although in Surabaya he also got a job but I'd rather if he could work here alone.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I closed my eyes slowly, not long after I fell asleep.

The morning after the dawn prayer I still did not move from the prayer mat. Raka hasn't sent WA, but it's past dawn. Didn't he come home this morning, or did he have a bad luck so he forgot to forget about me.

" Mas Raka so go home today ? " ask Sri when I arrive at the shop.

" Don't know yet, he said he wanted to leave Fajr but kok has not ngabarin until now. Hopefully go home, just forget to tell me." I wish so.

" Mr Aira has sent a message yet to Raka mas ? " ask Sri again. He was worried about Raka.

" Already but not yet read, maybe not yet. Know for yourself if the morning bus ride must be full passengers. It might also be crowded so he can't open the phone." I'm just guessing.

Until I finished breakfast and I opened HP, there was no WA message from Raka yet. But my message is blue tick, meaning it's been read.

" Duh Raka you're curious anyway, hopefully nothing happens," I hope Raka is okay.. Than to think that no-no I also rushed to go shopping. I'll just ask Harti. After finishing shopping I accidentally passed in front of the stall Ms. Harti.

" Sorry Mom, Raka has sent WA to Winda yet. How since dawn has not told me the same." I asked Raka about her mother.

" Last night he said he wanted to leave Subuh from there, but I have not sent WA to Winda. Until mother left for the market there was also no WA from Raka. The kid's happy to make people panic." Ms. Harti answered me but also grumbled.

" Bad habit, it is this modern era but still often forget not to tell. Keep the phone for what try, fit again important this is not used." Ms. Harti is still grumbling. I just kept quiet. Mending me saying goodbye than seen people thought I was the one who was scolded again.

" Yes ma'am, I went to the shop first. Maybe Raka's HP is lowbat so it can't send a message." I persuaded him to calm down. My own feelings are not bad either. I'll be back at the stall soon.

When only a few steps left my eyes caught the figure of a man enjoying coffee and cigarettes. I'm no stranger to that guy, just that he looks a little thin and his skin is a little black. As soon as it gets to the door.

" Ra, Raka ?? " The guy looked at me. He blinked his eyes and then smiled. I immediately hugged him. He stood up to take my arms.

" Rakaaaa, why do you worry me. You don't know me, same Linda. Your mother has just taken it from this morning." Raka laughed. I pinched his waist because it was bubbling, did not know my feelings were mixed he laughed instead.

" Oh, well, dong's sick. I just got home and got hit with gini." He took me to sit. Fortunately, there were no buyers.

" So how the story is , how could not have WA Aira. It's suddenly here." Mom interrogated Raka.

" So gini, last night after chat with you I was packing. Keep me out for a while buying cigarettes at the stall. Coincidentally there was a neighbor who was chatting there, he was the driver where I worked in a carving craft factory. His name is Kang Patience. He said he wanted to deliver the goods to Jogja, while he needed a friend during the trip." Raka sighed for a moment.

" I continued to offer to accompany him, but only until Jogja just did not return to Surabaya because I want to go home. He immediately agreed, the important thing tonight is to accompany. Be me leaving last night around 23:00. Calculate the cost of hehe." Raka stopped her sentence and took a sip of her cigarette.

" Oh yes, last night Kang Patience asked for help so that I help him lift the items that want to be delivered to Jogja. When he finished, he immediately took off. Fortunately my backpack and other luggage I have prepared in the living room. I hurried to say goodbye to Pakde and Bude who had not slept. They're shocked that I'm going home at dawn."

Raka looked at me for a moment, then said, "I'm sorry I did, I've worried you. You see, Kang Sabar really did not give time to open HP. Last night he invited me to chat, at dawn we prayed and then all breakfast. Then immediately pull it out again. He said the customer asked for the goods until before 9:00 a.m. After that I can sleep until I forget to open the phone."

Long-long Raka tells of his journey. Pity too, it means want to reduce costs eh can not even rest. It turns out that Kang Patience needs friends on the way to be invited to chat, because he is afraid to meet ghosts. There's just Kang Patience ha ha ha.

" Yes now you eat first, then stop by your mother's stall and go home" I suggested to Raka. He nodded and followed me into the kitchen. After that he took out a small paper bag from the backpack and took souvenirs from a large plastic bag.

" This is a gift from Pakde, and this is especially for you. I bought it in Jogja." He handed me his paper bag. I took it there was another small package.

" Thank you, what the hell is that? " i asked as I fumbled over the package.

" It will be opened at home, so it can be tried immediately" he asked. I wonder what it is.

" It has to be later, it can't be now." I persuaded. Raka shook her head," Later, if it's dirty here." Duuh, get curious. But I still obeyed his request. I put the package in the paper bag again.

Raka went into the toilet and washed her face. He picked up a backpack and a large bag of souvenirs and prepared to leave.

" I go home first yes, want to continue to sleep very sleepy" he said slowly. I nodded and drove him forward.

" Don't forget to stop by mom first let's not worry anymore." Reminded him. Raka also nodded and said goodbye to mother and mother Sri.

I took the paper bag from Raka. Kutimang-timang, kuraba-raba, about what is it?

" Ciyeee purchased souvenirs, if curious open aja Mbak ! " sri mbak Sri who suddenly came into the kitchen.

" Later at home, Raka said so." I smiled while still holding the package. Ma'am Sri shook her head.

" Huh, people if they fall in love again it's weird." He said while crossing his index finger on his forehead. Fuckin ! I'm guessing stress. Ma'am Sri laughed.

________________

The next day Raka told me about fulfilling the call from the mineral water plant.

[Bismillah, I hope the test and interview go well. You can definitely ] That's my only message to him.

And all day he hasn't called me again, I believe he's been struggling to get a better job. That's why I didn't call her either, worried about being intrusive.

The next night he just called me, he said he was just interviewed. It turned out that he had already been accepted and the call was just to determine what job he should run later.

[That means you're clearly accepted, and you don't need to be selected anymore ] I asked again because I still don't believe.

[Yes, and tomorrow I start training. Thanks baby, you already support me 😘🙏 ]

[Yes, baby, but not because of me either. This is thanks to your patience and your persistence. I hope you feel at home with this new job ]

[Yes, so we can save for our future 😁 ] [Yes already mending now rest so that tomorrow fresh body when first working. Happy working dear 😘 ]

I ended my chat with Raka. I turn off my HP and put it on my pillow. I lay my body to rest. Thank God, you gave me my prayers. Hopefully Raka will fit in with her new job.
