YOUR EYES GAVE ME A SOUL MATE
85. Merantau To Kota.
Najwa and Butet seemed busy looking for job vacancies in several newspapers with various brands. Their forehead is sometimes tight, and sometimes slack, when reading job openings that are quite economical writing.
"This is a locker for the bimbel teacher. You're interested in not?" ask Butet.
"What is important is halal. Master bimbel is not bad either. What if tomorrow we just go to the city. We can find any job there. Rather than here, the gossip mak kempong," said Najwa.
"You still want Asti?" ask Butet.
"Yes. All the mothers who shop for vegetables in the mang Word he shared all know. To the point that I'm embarrassed to leave the house." Answer Najwa.
"Cuek ajalah Na. He did not know his punishment. You just pray that his lips are tinsel," Butet said.
"Hustttt.you can't say that. Even if the bad guys are like us, we have to keep doing good with them" Najwa said.
"I'm upset with Asti. From you're still a girl, she's always looking for trouble. It looks like he's jealous of you" Butet said.
"Anything she wants to tell me is Tet. La wong other than kissin, a chaotic career, I am already a widow 3 times. It's only right that he's using me."
"You're wrong Na. Want as poor as any person, what kind of status that person. He has no right to insult the shortcomings of anyone including you. We as human beings with high dignity, must dare to deny or teach such people a lesson" said Butet.
"Huh.ya it's Tet. So how's this? so don't we head to town tomorrow?" ask Najwa.
"So dong. After I thought free living was good too huh? not bound and do not need to think about schoolwork," said Butet while chuckling.
"It's not like Tet either. Free life is good, but so teachers in schools are also noble.You know it is not easy to make the nation's children intelligent, maybe we are both teachers who failed because they gave up first," said Najwa.
"Yes, we will go to the bimbel place, or any work. The important thing is that we are not unemployed anymore and can get money to buy softek," said Butet.
"Well, did I go home first, Tet? want to be ready to leave tomorrow," said Najwa.
"OKAY. I also want to be beberes," said Butet
Najwapun go home. For some make the need to wander the next day.
"Are you sure you want to go this fast?" sumirah asked as she saw her daughter packing.
"Yes buk'e. Lagian Nana doesn't like being unemployed. Let Nana find work to collect money, for Buk'e and Pak'e to go on Hajj." Answer Najwa.
"Buk'e doesn't need to take the hajj. As long as you are happy, buk'e is happy," Sumirah said.
"Buk'e just pray Nana will have a lot of windfall
Indeed, Nana has had the intention for a long time to ride Buk'e sama pak'e hajj. Now Nana doesn't think about soul mate anymore. Nana wants to focus on finding money for buk'e" Najwa said.
"It can't be. Your future is long. If there is a soul mate, do not be held back just because you feel ashamed of the neighbor. Besides buk'e also want to carry grandchildren," said Sumirah.
"Sorry Nana is buk'e? Nana's always fussing about buk'e," Najwa shed her tears.
"You're my only-nation daughter who's most devoted to parents. Ridhoku is always with you. One day you will find happiness."

Bend day....
"Ah..eventually come too," Butet said as she stretched her body after riding a rickshaw.
Najwa paid the rickshaw fare and then dropped the suitcase tied up in a rickshaw.
"Where are we going to travel now Na?" ask Butet.
"We'll find a contract first." Answer Najwa.
"Where? if the nyari in the city center must be expensive," said Butet.
"Find the origin of the angkot just pass." Answer Najwa.
"Uhhhffftt.mayanlah even though we live in a long bedeng like this," said Butet, when they have entered into a contract that they can.
"I see on the tip bedeng there is a stall, we can later buy an electric kettle to cook instant noodles before we buy cookware," continued Butet.
"Yes." Yeah." Answer Najwa.
Butet who felt hot came out of the house to see the surrounding area. He saw some girls outside the contract while huddling a lot of things.
"Eh.there's a new neighbor apparently. What's your name, what we know first" said the red-haired girl.
Hearing the accent the girl used, Butet was pleased. Butet felt as if he had met the village's brother.
"Include my name Butet" said butet as he extended his hand.
"Well, my one-man village apparently. I'm Marina. But don't you think I'm a big brother's handbody brand name" Marina said, chuckling.
Butet met the other girls, and chatted with them.
"Home brother apparently?" ask Marina.
"Went alone with my friend. He's inside again." Answer Butet.
"Who do you live with?" ask Butet.
"I'm with my friends from P. It's just work here." Answer Marina.
"Where's work? because we went to the city to find this work," asked Butet.
"Working in the mall. What kind of brother wants to do? I happen to know the manager well" asked Marina.
"What vacancies are there right now?" ask Butet.
"Cashier." Answer Marina.
"Yes, then my friend and I put the proposal to you. Can you?" ask Butet.
"Can brother. Tonight make the proposal, I guarantee you will work immediately later," said Marina.
"Thank you Marina. Moga launched your fortune," said Butet.
"Take a sis." Answer Marina.
"I'm going in first. I want to give my friend this good news" Butet said.
"Let's come out again, brother? we are waiting for the speaker package to arrive. Later we can karaoke together," said Marina.
"Boleh-Boleh. Let's test your speakers. I'll donate a song,"
"Are you still a girl?" ask Marina.
"Yes. But my friend is a widow." Answer Butet.
"Yes, it's 5 o'clock out, right? I want to invite big brother to sedain the handsome widower across from our contact," said Marina while chuckling.
"Eh? still your girl. Why should I miss the widower. Pursue virgin eggplant," said Butet.
"This is the superior quality of sister's. Durian is durian montong." Answer Marina.
"It could be you. But I like your style. I finally met a friend as crazy as me" Butet said, chuckling.
Butet looked towards the house that Marina meant. The house is surrounded by shady trees and there is only one house.
