Wingless Butterfly

CHAPTER 67 SCAVENGERS ARE ALSO HALAL JOBS RIGHT ????

The next day I was awakened by the sound of the chicken Cigarette alternating unpretentiousness. I woke up today because I wanted to enjoy life. After cleaning myself I went to the kitchen to help Mom cook. This time I was cooking moringa vegetables, steamed tempeh and crackers. For us, this food is ternik and cheap festive food.

" Mommy, Rissa just came home today, right ???? "

" You don't want to stay here any longer, do you ???? "

" No ma'am, Rissa can't stay here for long. Rissa needs to get home today too, ma'am. "

" Yes, eat first. "

" Let's eat with Mom. "

" You eat first, and Mother will follow. "

" Yes, Mom. "

We immediately had breakfast this morning with delicious, Mother's cooking is second to none. Very delicious and makes it darn. When I finished eating, I didn't know Mom was busy especially in the kitchen. I went straight into my room and packed up to prepare for my return home. I collapsed for a moment while waiting for Mom to finish her work in the kitchen.

I want to call Farrell in the moments I need him most. But I canceled my intention this time, considering Farrell had not contacted me in days. How could I suddenly contact her first ?????.

Suddenly I felt a strange feeling in my heart, it felt like I was dying to meet Farrell. Sometimes I do realize that I'm starting to love Farrell, but sometimes I still don't accept the fact that I'm getting interested in him. Maybe I just felt baper on him.

" Riss... Come here, "Mother's cry breaks my daydream.

" Oh, Ma'am, "I replied as I immediately went to see Mom.

" This bring food to eat at kosan. "

" Is this Mom ???? "

" Your favorite food, potato fry sambal and petai. Lauknya Spicy soy sauce cob your favorite. "

I'm overwhelmed by what Mom has done to me. He woke up early and kept busy in the kitchen even to the point of putting aside his meal time just to cook my favorite food. It turns out he cares about me.

" Thank you Mom, I've been bothering to cook my favorite food. I'm not feeling good, Mom. "

" It is the duty of the mother as a parent to cook her child. I also bought a shred of cow for you, so you just have to buy warm rice for breakfast. "

" Rissa likes cows at all, Mom, in the expensive city. "

" Yes the same, yes already put in your bag afraid to miss later. "

" Yes Mom. "

" Riss, "

" Yes Mom, what is it ???? "

" Please give this to Mr. rickshawman who has helped you. "

" What is Mom ???? "

" Mom can only give him this, two packs of cooking oil and also sugar. It's okay, Riss's weight, because the rickshaw man did not want to be given money, so I thought to buy him this. I'm sure she needs this too Riss. "

" Yes Ma'am, anyways why did you bother buying this Mom ??? Later the money can not even make pay for other needs Mom. "

" Yes already then, Rissa all said yes to Mother. Sorry if Rissa's been bothering me all this time. "

" Not at all, son, don't talk like that. Because it can hurt your feelings. "

" Yes Mom, sorry. ''

I finally said goodbye to my mother, I kissed her hands and cheeks and asked for my blessing to get a new job.

" Mom, pray that Rissa gets a new job soon. "

" Yes son, I must pray. "

" Yes, then Rissa said she'd go home now, Mom. "

" Yes, be careful not to forget to give this parcel to the rickshawman. "

" Yes Ma'am. "

When I was about to wait for the bus, there happened to be a bus passing by so I didn't have to wait a long time. I sat on the front seat behind the driver. I accidentally saw Farrell riding his bike and didn't know where. At least a glance I can see his face, a face that I'm beginning to miss.

Not how long finally arrived, I immediately headed to Mr. Rickshaw who had helped me. Thank God he is still in his usual place.

" Sir, sorry to interrupt the time for a moment. Please accept this parcel sir, this is from my Mother Sir. "

" O God, son, you will sincerely help you, son. Why is it still given this anyway ???? "

" My mother forced sir, please accept yes sir. Let me calm down too, sir. "

" Yes already then, son, I accept. May Allah reward all of this, my son. "

" Yes Sir, Amin. Then excuse me sir."

" Yes, Son. "

Somehow there was a sense of relief when the Father wanted to receive a parcel from my mother. At least I don't feel indebted anymore. It feels so good this heart. I know that Father is equally in need.

I tried to get to where I work at Laundry, but my boss said he still doesn't know when it's going to open again. Because the atmosphere of schools and lectures is again a holiday so automatically laundry business is also quiet.

Finally I returned to my boarding house, soon I have to pay Kosan money. The money I have is not much either. I was confused to find a way out of this problem. I finally decided to find another job.

The next day I tried to find work around the area close to my Kosan. I have been walking for hours looking for a new job, but no one wants to accept me. The reason is not to accept new employees. I felt desperate because I didn't get any results.

Under the scorching hot sun, I sat down to rest by the side of the road. I bought ice at a nearby stall. While enjoying the cold ice that I was now sipping, I saw scavengers crossing me by looking for used items that were sold.

That's where I got the idea to scavenge for sustenance. I have been rejected several times to work in several places, on the grounds that they do not accept new employees. Maybe by the way I became a scavenger, I could earn money to get by.

I must not be ashamed, nor should I be prestigious for being a Scavenger Also a Halal Job Isn't it ?????. Because only in this way can I get the money back. If I were still a prestige, there I wouldn't be able to survive.

I've solidified my heart to begin scavenging tomorrow. Bismillah may be a good start. May this new job be a blessing.

** Amen......
