FAITHFULLY YOURS (BSBB)
Chapter 6
...Chapter 6 | Faithfully Yours...
The quarrel incident that made me have to be called to Adel's school earlier, made me forget one thing that was just as important. I missed the time to apply for a replacement lecturer on campus. The mood of my heart was completely gone to take care of it. Finally, I went home to the apartment and when I got there, Rara had cried apologizing to me. What else is this? My feelings are really bad.
"Ra ... why?" I asked to see him as he pleased and now kneeled before me.
"Mil ... Ma-sorry I ... I'm sorry I ...."
"Ra, why the hell are you?" I just don't understand what happened anymore. "Try to speak clearly."
"We're out, Mel ...."
Another fact should slap me with proof that Rara had missteps by putting all the money we collected, all of it, into a shackle investment. With the promise of investment of money of Rp. 15,000,000, we will get 30% in 30 days. Who is not tempted?
I also agreed. We have received one time period and Rp. 4,500,000 have we cantongi. However, when we invest more capital, which is Rp. 90,000,000, in fact the site disappeared like swallowed by the earth. Of course with our money lost without news.
For God's sake, I really don't know what to say. I'm upset. I was really angry with Rara. At first he begged me to double our savings through it. Stupidly, I trusted him and put all my money there. Now look what Rara did.
I can't stay with this guy anymore, that's what's on my mind. I'm a real moron for giving up all my money on that investment. It's all because of Rara.
"Ah, stop!" I was very upset and took some clothes and put them in a big bag. I decided to get out of the apartment we shared and Rara. After all, we won't be able to extend the apartment rent anymore. "Gue assumes we have no relationship anymore. Males I'm dealing with you," I said ketus.
I got out of that apartment and drove aimlessly, went out of nowhere this road took me. My escape eventually came to a halt in a blue minimarket. I think a cup of coffee would make my mind calmer.
Apparently, no. Sitting for hours in this place, on a cold minimarket iron chair with a chaotic mind, managed to make me like a person without direction. Counted, I had four cups of coffee spent, but I this fool is still lamenting the fate until the cold of the night greeted. The most frightening thing that happened. Falling poor is the thing I hate the most.
Then, what do I do now? How can I send Adel to school? My promise in the center of the deceased brother must be completed I fulfilled, send Adel to college. Only then can I repay the kindness of my brother and his wife to me in my lifetime. It was just this that kept spinning in my head.
It's been three years, yeah, Bang. You and your wife have left us. Why did you guys leave that night? Though you already know the rush of rain is pouring on the streets. Why do you guys take your lives voluntarily on that goddamn toll? The worst accident I will never forget.
Y'all remember? We are a small family that always shares. We are quite and happy. Now, look. Not only Adel you left behind, but also myself who now has no place to lean on, take shelter. I'm just trying to stand up straight, but I don't know how long this will last. I'm losing my way.
I looked at the dark sky far up there with a mind that had gone out of nowhere. The highway in front of me that's full of motorcycles and then running, I don't care. I raised both legs and hugged them in front of my chest. Did I just take them?
From then on my stomach felt uncomfortable and now something like flowing down there. I went in and checked in the toilet. Sure enough, I'm coming by the moon. It's been a mess my day. Plus the coming phase of 'monthly guests' that makes my mood explode. I took the thing for the woman from the supermarket shelf and paid her to the cashier, then went to the toilet to use it.
I realized that Mas Kasir had noticed my gelagat. Moreover, at ten o'clock this evening not many buyers come to the minimarket. Yeah, just let it be. No, I didn't steal anything.
I want to go home, but I don't want to go home. To be precise, there was no place to go home. A very confusing and exhausting dilemma. I decided to spend the night at the daily boarding. There is still money left to last some time.
I took mineral water, fresh bread, and peanut butter setoples, as well as some bath items. I put it all in the shopping cart which is also blue. When going to pay, the Cashier checks the expiry date of the bread that will end in two days.
"In two days, what's the bread, brother?" the ask is friendly before scanning the barcode on the item. "So, the expired date is only two days."
"Yes, not pa-pa. The bread just stayed on the shelf," I replied briefly without looking. He then continued scanning the prices of all my stuff.
"Okay, the groceries are already more than Rp. 100,000, this, brother. You want to redeem the cheap shampoo, right?" ask again.
Already, Mas. Don't ask too many questions. I was lazy to talk. But, after seeing the same brand of shampoo I took, "May, deh. Same variant as I took." After paying, I put the groceries into my shopping bag and hurried away.
"Sister," call the Cashier Mas. I'm turning. "The return." The Cashier offered me a few thousand change.
"Make it," I said.
"Thank you, Brother. Please come back." The typical minimarket greetings I only returned with a smile that I forced. On this hard day, it was hard to smile.
