The Winged Angel

14. Recognition

Throughout the prayer my tears poured out, with a sob that I tried to hold. Surprisingly I can follow every prayer movement as well as the reading.

Is this a sign that I've done this a lot before?"

"You got a problem?" ask the girl who asked for prayers.

He looks at me pity. I rubbed my face that was wet.

"Oh yeah, what's your name? Can we get acquainted? Just call me Ayu!" The girl reached out her hand.

"I ... am Miss?" answered doubt. Be careful even if it looks good.

We shake.

"It's nice to know you, Miss. I hope we can be friends. You live near here? If I'm here, it just happens to cost. Let's get together at work." He spoke cheerfully while tidying his prayer kit in a cloth bag.

"I happen to be here looking for a job. Can you help me?"

Ayu looked at me in wonder. Watching my appearance for a moment.

"Why?" tanyaku.

"Ah, no. Excuse me. I'm just a cleaning service worker. Dirty work. Do you want to?" tanyanya.

"Mau .. which is halal."

"I can help, anyway. But at this hour, the office is closed. How will we meet again here tomorrow afternoon? Pas salat zuhur," he bargained.

I nodded quickly. "You're so good." I held the arm of the fertile girl.

"Cuman can help you meet HRD. Accepted or I don't promise."

"It's not papa."

"If so I go first. We'll see you tomorrow, Miss. Don't forget my name."

"Hum .. thanks Ayu."

Ayu moved out of that place. I also straightened the face I was wearing. Return to its place.

It's been very late afternoon. I'd better get back to the boat to see Tobi. The sky is still bright. I'm afraid I forgot the way back there. Hopefully tomorrow his boss Ayu will accept me to work for him.

****

Basically forgetful. Or my brain condition is squatting again. After a long time of circling. I just remembered the road to the boat. Huh .. finally met too. My breath is gone because it goes far enough.

The sky began to blaze the sunset. It's dark soon. I hope Tobi comes home. Even though the boat wasn't that big. But, it could be temporary as our residence. There is a roof that protects it from rain.

The closer, the sound of waves hitting the rock the more clearly heard. Tobi stuck a long wooden stick between the rocks surrounding the boat. It is shaped like a small cave that leads to the sea.

I walk in leisurely. Enjoy the color of the sky and the twilight breeze that began to feel cold.

"BONAME ... HURRY LARIII!!" Tobias's voice came from behind my back.

I flinched, turned to the back looking for the young man's voice.

Glekhs! I'm nervous saliva.

I watched Tobi stand a few dozen steps away from me. His hands were held by two large, dark-skinned men.

"FROM MISSAA!!! DON'T THINK ABOUT ME! THEY'RE MISTER SAAAM'S MEN! LARII!!!"

One of them releases his check on Tobi's hand. Run fast towards me.

"JUST!!!" Tobi yelled again reminding me.

"DON'T RUN!!!" One of them shouted loudly. His face looks fierce.

Like being chased by demons. I ran away to save myself. No matter which direction this foot is heading. Dare to look back again.

Run ... run .. and keep running.

Although I was tired I forced both legs to keep moving fast.

Hosh ... hosh .. breath is getting stung. I don't know what I've been through.

The sky without feeling dark.

I'm sorry Tobi. Ii'm sorry. In time I will return to fulfill my promise to you.

Ii'm sorry.

Seriate.

Snuffling my breath. Want not to have to stop. Squatting holds both knees that are already sore. Breathe again. Eyes fluoresce. The man who was chasing me was invisible.

Huuufht .. more regular breathing force. A heartbeat in the chest.

Where is this? I was on a narrow street of a settlement. Lonely state. Doesn't look like a traffic guy.

Thirsty. Dry throat. Not a penny of money I have. How fate?

I sat dumbly in front of the fence of a house, with minimal illumination. Everything looks dim.

"Heh ... want to swing, yes?!" The loud voice of the woman surprised me.

I was looking for the origin of the sound.

Byuru!!! Suddenly the water from above spilled onto my body.

"Aaaakhs!!" Spontaneous I screamed loudly. My whole body has been soaked.

Damnit damnit!

"Lha .. What is a girl's voice? You're throwing a nutty, aren't you?" His voice from above.

Oh, my God, so I thought I was the thief.

"I'm not a thief. Just sit down." I replied. Sweeping wet face with palms.

"Sit's sitting in that dark place? You're an empty kosan, aren't you?" A girl of my age was already standing close.

"I swear .. I'm not a bad person. I was scared of being chased by people. A little rest. If Mbak is disturbed I will leave soon," I explained.

The glassy girl's mouth was round.

"Owh." He looked guilty. "I'm sorry that. You're soaking wet."

"I'm sorry if you're disturbed." My feet will step.

"Wait a minute!"

"Yes?" I'm turning.

"Go inside first. I'm pinching clothes for a change. Your time home soaked?"

"Ngerepotin?"

"No. Comein. You're not mad I've doused you?" he said while holding my hand.

.

.

"It's kosanku. Come aboard!"

I followed him up the stairs at the back of the house.

"Sorry, yeah. I thought you were maling. You see only yesterday, the other boarding room was broken into the same match when left to work."

"Hum." I said as I hugged my body, starting to shiver in the cold.

"I live in this second-floor room. Who has a home living downstairs. Gualak. Fortunately, he is not home now. Usually forbidden by him, bring someone else into the boarding room." The girl with the glasses kept on snoring. Speak quickly.

.

.

"Didn't bring the clothes?" ask from outside the bathroom.

"Wake it up."

My clothes have changed with the dry ones. A long-sleeved t-shirt with her wide skirt subordinates, which I chose myself. After changing clothes, I came out of the bathroom.

"What's not afraid of, you're going out all night alone? Here when the night is quiet. Understand just the suburbs. Ramenya only because many tourists. That's also noon." He then shut his own mouth.

"Sorry, yeah. I said it hard. Don't know why. You could say the habit of talking. Ayu only likes bete when talking to me. Moga you don't. Hehe," he continued.

I chuckled at my new friend's funny behavior.

"Thank you, yeah."

"Either. My name is Roro. What's your name?"

"Miss," I reached out.

"Tomorrow, you turn back her clothes. Your wet clothes let the crackle enter." He headed for the nightstand and then came back with a crackle.
