The speeding Inter-city bus looks faster across the black paved road and has passed the freeway.
Some cities have passed until now to a Ship Port.
Almost all passengers fall asleep regardless of the heat outside because this bus has a special AC so they can sleep freely without heat. Maybe they are tired because this bus came from Jogjakarta to Lampung.
There were only a few passengers who were still awake, including the man who was still loyal to look at the handsome man beside him while continuing to keep the black bag he picked up from under the bus seat behind his back.
Maybe he was afraid there was a pickpocket in the bus. He was sure the bag would be valuable.
The handsome man who was none other than Fic was still slightly affected by the effects of drugs that someone accidentally injected him a few hours ago. It meant that Fic could not fight back when they forced Fic to lie in a cadaver bed and put Fic out of the hospital bed in their car.
Whose game is this?
Fic himself kept asking in his subconscious. Until he gasped when the bus shook a little hard.
Fic massaged his temples, rolled his eyeballs. His memory quickly recovered and realized that he was already inside a bus. He recalled a little when two men pushed him to forcefully enter the bus until Fic sat in the seat and couldn't remember anything else.
Fic dyed.
"Mas! Search this?" the man next to her held out a bag.
"Ah yes. Thanks." Fic accepts.
"If you can tell, where does this bus go?"
The man was a little dumbfounded by Fic's question.
"You don't know where this bus is going? But you climbed it? Whoa, fuck!"
Fic nodded. "Me, me.." Fic scratched his nape.
"You drunk?"
Fic shook. "No. I'm not drunk! I, ah, I just have a little problem. Like that guess." Fic gave me a little reason.
"You're out of the house?" The man continued to interrogate.
Fic simply nodded to avoid any more questions.
"HM. I guessed it."
"guys! Fees!" The driver poked the Man and Fic's shoulders in turn.
Fic quickly reached into the bag to spend money.
"How much bang?"
"Rupe!"
Fic counted for a while and then held out five hundred pieces of money, The man next to him was the same.
"Less man!" the eyes glared when counting the money from the man.
"Mas, I only have that. Please yes, mas. I swear I don't have any more." the man groans.
"Where are you from?"
"Jakarta mas."
"Where are you going?"
"Lampongs."
"Ongkos five hundred thousand, from Jogja or whatever the same tariff. Your money is only 150 grand. This is just enough until Attack. Quick Down!" Kenek was angry. Pulling the Man's arm.
"Mas, help me. I have to go home. My son is sick. I have no more money. The vow! To eat me alone is not there." the man again wailed.
"If you don't have money, don't go home. Does this bus have your great-grandfather what?" back to pulling the guy.
"But! Please let her go." Fic now prevents.
"Return the money, it's me who pays!" Fic held out five more pieces of money.
Kenek smiled and counted the money and left in front of them after returning the man's money.
"Thank you mas. Thanks!" The man grabbed Fic's hand and kissed with his forehead several times.
Fic just smiled. Sipped the mineral water he took from the item stand in front of the man that might have belonged to the man.
"You haven't answered my question, where is this bus going?" Fic repeated the question that the man had not yet answered.
"Lampung mas."
Fic looked at him. "A village?" Fic.
"Sumatra you mean?"
"Yes right!"
"This bus will cross the Sunda Strait?" back Fic asked while wide-eyed.
"No. This car goes in and into the ship. His ship crossed the Sunda Strait." replied the man.
"Just like!"
"No. Where can a bus cross the ocean?"
Fic just grunts now. His mind suddenly floated.
"Allena!" Fic rubbed his face.
'We'll be separated so far. It's not just the Sunda Strait or just the ocean any longer our distance. But the letter of agreement.'
'No. I cannot be weak. Ellena must live. Ellena had to heal.' Fic's tears almost dripped if only he didn't hear the ringing of the man's cell phone next to him that was so loud that he jolted from the daydream.
"Hello!" the man's loud voice as he opened his outdated old-fashioned cell phone.
"Oh God! Then how's Mom! I've been trying. I'm already on this bus. Please wait a minute." again the man sounded out loud against the noise of the Bus engine.
"I didn't bring any money home. How do I agree to it??"
"Dw.hu.." The man sobbed when perhaps the wife turned off the unilateral call.
"Hey..why are you crying?" reprimand Fic, confused by what happened to the man.
"My child? My kid?"
Fic shook the guy's shoulder. "Why your son?"
"He should be in surgery soon. He's got a bad appendix. It has to be his decision today. But I came home with no money. How can I agree to that?" the man was crying harder.
"Operation?" Fic jerks. His soul immediately re-shaken when he heard the phrase Operation. Fic recalled Ellena who might be currently performing the Operation or was done.
'What's the outcome? I want to know!' Fic can only scream in his heart.
"There's nothing I can ask you for help! I didn't make it to this town either. I worked as a private driver and got fired because my employer's car broke into a fence!"
Fic barely heard the man's words clearly.
"I'm looking for work again not yet, even told to go home quickly by my wife."
"My child! My boy! How about God!" the man cried as he pleased, banging his head in his front seat. Fic was stunned to see that.
"Hey."
Fic pulled the guy's shoulder.
"Call your wife again. Tell him to get the doctor to operate on your son immediately. I'll cover all the costs."
"You're serious?"
Fic nodded.
"You don't know me, buddy? I am the poorest person in the world. I won't be able to return your money later! Moreover, the cost of bowel surgery is expensive! What am I selling?"
Fic chuckled small. "I'm not asking for my money back, just so you'll help me."
"Say what do you want? Kill anyone I'm willing to if it's like this." replied the man seriously.
"Really?"
"Yes. My son can be healed. I'll do anything!"
Fic was stunned again, and Nathan and Ellena's shadows filled his mind again.
'All parents, it turns out like.'
"Mass? So helping?" the man patted Fic's pensive shoulder.
"Ah yes. Take me home to your house. I don't know where to go. I have no purpose."
"Bringing you?" The man glared.
"Where can!"
"I'll be on my wife's bailout for a moment!"
"Women can't look at men." - Fic.
"Ah that's not what it means. I'll be kicked by my wife."
"Our lives are hard! We still live in my in-laws' house. Go home instead of bringing money and bring people. The one I got kicked out of the house! Keep on living my wife and I'll be a widower. God, I don't want to be a widower!" keep the man at length.
"I won't bother you. I pledge. Take me to your village. To that Lampung." cut Fic.
"I'll find a job there." continued Fic.
"What work? You think in my village there's an office. There are only coffee and rubber gardens. Ah, yes. You can work in their garden and live in their saung."
"But, ah.. Where can you. Your hands are smooth like this. I'm not sure!"
Fic pulled the man's collar. "Bring me! I won't trouble you. Believe me!"
"Hem.. How ya?" the man seemed to think hard.
"Is there no company?" ask Fic.
"Your shaved company. There are many Begal! Lampung is famous for its bitches Bro! It's so great to begal, just want to be megal!"
"God! You're taking me no! You're not thinking about your son?" Fic pulled the man's collar back.
"Oh. Sure oes. Alright. I'll take you. Whatever you want there." snorted.
"Then call your wife. And tell him to get the doctor to take care of your son right away. We can pay the fee once we get there."
Without asking any more, the man immediately snatched his HP. He heard talking for a while and then finished. Back to Fic.
"Mas. I've spoken to my wife. But, are you really serious about having that kind of money?"
Fic opened his black bag. "You can't see this?" show it right in front of the man's eyes.
The man's eyes were wide open!
"That's all the money?"
"You think?"
The man suddenly hugged Fic tightly.
"Thank you. Thanks though. You've helped me. You saved my handsome son." cried as much as you could.
Fic patted the man's back gently.
"same. You're helping me too."
The man wiped his tears. "I'll do anything for you. I will repay all your kindness. I promise."
Fic just smiled again. Both of them were silent for a while.
"If you have a lot of money. You can be successful there. You can buy a rubber coffee garden or a vacant lot to grow crops. Planting corn or ketella. You can also buy livestock. Then you'll be a rich man there."
Fic looked over. "In that case, we'll buy all that."
"Well!" The man returned.
"Is your money enough? After you take the cost of my son's surgery later?"
"I still have a lot in the card you saw" replied Fic.
"You have nothing to lose taking me. But you'll lose if you don't take me!" connect Fic.
"You're this? Rich people? Why stop by? Why go to the village? Why not go out of the country?"
"Negri needs a Passport. That'll leave a trace."
"You really ran away from home?" the man accused.
"Or are you not a businessman who was caught cheating? Then your wife kicked you out?"
Fic chuckled, "I'm not married."
"Oh. Well, then, you're a rich kid who made a big mistake and you were dumped by your family?"
"In a foreign country. More precisely so." replied Fic.
"I have faults that are beyond their limits. I can come back from exile after I've changed myself."
The man nodded. "I understand Now. Alright. You're gonna start a new life there."
Fic finally breathed a sigh of relief. At least he can survive for Ellena and Nathan. Although he had to let Ellena go, but at least he still had a chance to see Ellena happy or just to hear the news.
"You should know, Lampung is hard man!" said the man.
"Much of our money will be looked at. Kere will be trivial."
"You're rich, you'll be trusted. But if you're poor, even if you say that the Sun rises from the East, people won't believe it!" pointed at Fic's chest.
Fic chuckles.
"Where is life in the world the same as that. The rich are powerful, the poor are weak. But it depends on the human. Not everyone is the same mind." said Fic.
"Be a strong man so that we are not trampled!" Fic Say. In his heart he held bitter.
He is weak, he is currently on the stampede. His pride is no more. Dumped and unwanted presence in the city that already holds a million memories.
But Fic is trying to be tough! For now, whatever he's gonna do for Ellena. The result later,
'We'll see, sir! Which one of us is the toughest!'
Fic has rounded his heart, set a new life there. Set up a proper plan, Then when the time comes, will intend to pick up Ellena!
'Wait for me Ellena!'
