TWILIGHT IN THE PINE FOREST

SRI

I walked with Sri. He didn't say much this day, maybe he remembered his sisters. I feel sorry for him.

"Sir, is it possible that we will continue? " Sri broke the silence between us.

"Of course not Sri. We must be strong, passionate, and patient" I replied slowly while looking at his face. I saw those clear eyes almost crying.

His hands give him strength.

Sri nodded too.

We went to the restaurants and shops where we worked.

I'm part cashier and Sri part waiter.

Sri is happy to be able to shift with me.

"Mbak Wah has come "Erni the cashier who is on duty, happy to see me .

"Yes, I'm ready anyway not yet two o'clock I still have time to relax first" said as he sprinted behind the locker.

I put the bag down and I get the store uniform.

Sri is approaching me.

"Will be able to go home together, right? I want a little story to mbak "Sri looks at me expectantly.

"Yes calm down, wait a minute . "I replied as I blinked.

Sri finally laughed.

Then he walked to the window cleaning and arranging the goods.

Our shop was a little visitor.

I looked out the street a little bit.Economy was difficult. Everyone survives at all costs.

I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to work.

If I can be honest, I'm not too nervous either.

Especially the more often I miss my mom.

Sri I observed from earlier moody. What's wrong with her?

Sri always remembers my kanku to mother.Name of my mother is also Sri.

maybe it's because of this that I got close to her. I feel like something is pulling my heart.

Today is very long. I can't wait to close the shop.

Sri and Eko are ready to clean the goods.

It's nine o'clock in the evening, it's time we close.

Always bring me a cup of coffee.

"Bothering this on. if every day I get coffee" I do not feel good to refuse the gift.

But if every night I shif always give me coffee sometimes plus snacks.

Other friends often whisper. I'm a new kid.

"You always say that, don't refuse the windfall" he said as he passed.

I also just stared at his back.

*Cie cie.. who got the bonus coffee "Sri and Eko giggled teasing me.

" Apaan is normal the next time "I was wrong.

"Mbak.. Just accept.. Mas Sigit was good. "said Eko .

I glared at him too.

Eko ran forward to close the door.

"Come on. I wait in front of "Sri is done .

"Alright "I'm going to the barn get the bag.

"Mbak let's just walk ya "take Sri to me.

Tracing the path of sorts reminds me of the two people present in my heart.

Mas Ari's.. Educated.. Remember you guys to me? I asked in my heart.

"I want to resign mbak "Sri's words made me stop walking.

Not finished I imagine Mas Ari and Didik Sri have succeeded in making me surprised.

"Why Sri? you said you'd hold out until the Eid. In less than three months" I want to be angry.

not because of hate, but because of love.

Although he was still young, his way of thinking was mature. I often learn from him.

"I miss my sisters, if I'm at home I can help take care of them" said Sri.

"But you're here for them too Sri" I said.

"You want to buy them clothes, toys and shoes" Sri cried. I also came to cry.And the night increasingly felt gripping among the glitter of the capital.
