Healing
98. New Atmosphere

" Sister..kak Raya, the train has stopped. Now we go down ". Juna woke me up who had fallen asleep for a while.

" So we've arrived?", I asked like a dazed person because he just woke up. While wiping the rest of the tears that are still attached to the end of my eyelids. My head feels a little dizzy, maybe the effect of crying out for a long time, to fall asleep, making my head so dizzy.

While gnashing my eyes, I looked out the window, it was dark outside, and the atmosphere was not too crowded. I took my cell phone in my sling bag to check what time it was. It's only 8 p.m., but the station seems deserted.

I got out of the train car following where Juna stepped, it turned out that outside the heavy rain just deserved the station was not too crowded, even though this was in a big city.

" Are you hungry?, we want to eat here or buy food and take it home, eat in a rented?", asked Juna as he continued walking out of the station.

In front of the station there are many shops, and food vendors, including souvenir shops that despite the rain look crowded with visitors.

" We eat here only, so later until your contract is full", I pointed to the Padang restaurant located not far from our current position, and Juna agreed to eat Padang rice dinner that could be filling in order to sleep well tonight. That goes for Juna of course, because I've been sleeping long enough, and maybe tonight will be hard to sleep. Moreover, sleeping in a new place, needs an introduction with a new atmosphere.

" Two rice with rendang side dishes and one fried chicken, eat here Mom" said Juna while putting my backpack on an empty chair.

I sat down next to Juna and waited for the Padang rice seller to prepare our meal.

" From here to the contract you're far away Jun?".

Juna nodded at my question, "If the ride is about half an hour away. But if you walk maybe an hour and a half to arrive" explained Juna.

I just nodded in understanding, walking or riding in my vehicle was okay, it was just raining, so I asked Juna to book a car online, so that our luggage is not wet on the trip.

We both ate very well, because our stomachs were very hungry. It turned out that crying all the way was quite draining as well. Moreover, the taste of Padang cuisine is most fitting on the tongue if it is raining like today, the sensation of spiciness can warm the body.

Juna put half his fried chicken on my plate and took half of my rendang for her. That's what Juna and I have been doing if we eat out. Deliberately buy a different menu in order to exchange food. And it turns out that until now Juna has not forgotten our habits when we were children.

His attitude made me smile for the first time since we got off the train.

" I've booked the car online, Kak, later we walk out of here first, the car is waiting in front of the station" said Juna when we both finished our meal.

We both walked not too far away, and the car was waiting in front of the station, close to the Padang restaurant we visited earlier.

" To the village of ABC Mas?, Jalan Senopati gang 2 huh?", the online car driver asked the purpose of both of us, so as not to be wrong. Juna justifies the purpose spoken by the driver.

" Just coming from out of town, huh Mas?, the luggage is a lot?", asked the driver again when helping Juna put my backpack in the car.

" Yes bang", that's the only answer Juna gave.

" Know also not the same driver, why use a long explanation, answer 'yes' is enough", muttered Juna when the online car was gone. We both walked into the gate that was still wide open even though it was night.

" We have arrived in front of the contract, and my contract is my sister" said Juna, pointing to one of the rooms with the door closed and the lights still out.

Juna Contract consists of many doors and there are 3 floors, fortunately Juna's property on the first floor, so the place is right for selling. Nor is it tiring to have to go up and down stairs if on the ground floor.

I followed Juna. Occasionally Juna nodded and smiled at the people passing by. It was already night, but the atmosphere around the rented area was still crowded, let alone the rain began to subside. So many choose to go out of the room, find the wind.

" After going back and forth Jun?, a few days the rented lights died mute?", asked the young man who was sitting in front of the contract next to Juna's contract.

" Yes Bang, take out the letters to take care of the work contract tomorrow, bang Rasid not going home for the weekend?", Juna asked his room neighbor while unlocking the door of his contract.

" Somewhat, no one wants to look back. Since Babe and pretty no, males cave turning, at home there is only Mpok cave which hobby is really asking for money if cave turning".

" You brought who Jun is?". Rasid asked while looking at me fixedly.

" Kak Raya this bang Rasid neighbor rented Juna".

Rasid and I shook hands with each other, it seemed like Rasid was the same age as me, and from his accent he looked like a Betawi.

Juna had already managed to open the rented door, after turning on the lights, Juna invited me to enter. He came out again to pick up our backpack that had been placed on the front floor.

" Well, it's finished the training period huh?, don't you think you've been here long enough, still want first you come here with Miko, Miko still works at your place?", ask Rasid.

" There is still a bang, Bang Miko yesterday has been able to promote now has become a manager in the factory".

I could still hear Juna and Rasid talking about someone they knew.

Soon Juna went inside and closed the door.

" Sister sleeps in the room, and you sleep where Jun is?", I saw that there was only one small 90x200 mattress that only fit one person lying on the floor.

" Juna can sleep in the living room, there are mats and blankets, so it's not cold, tomorrow night we can find another mattress, all shopping for kitchen furniture, for sister cook".

I nodded in agreement.

Fortunately the weather tonight is not so cold, so it's okay for last night, Juna sleeps on a mat. Tomorrow we will go shopping to buy a lot of furniture. Hopefully tomorrow will be bright, so there will be no change of plans.

We both slept in different rooms, only in the bulkhead of the plywood board. And as I thought, I can't sleep tonight, because I've been sleeping on the train for a long time.

I chose to take my phone and make a video call with my mom and dad, let me know if Juna and I have arrived at the rented, Juna joined me when I , mama, and papa were chatting.

After chatting with mom and dad, Jun went back to the living room to sleep, I chose to browse Indonesian recipes. It's been a while since I've been cooking, and tomorrow I'll start again from the beginning, if I was a teenager, I can make cakes and fritters while taking care of the baby Shaka, now it will be easier, because I have nothing to take care of.

Suddenly I remembered Shaka, how is Shaka now?, out of curiosity I sent a message to Yoga. Of course to ask Shaka. Yoga only sees my message, but doesn't reply to it, for some reason, but it's very unusual. Because usually Yoga is very quick to reply every time I send a message.

At dawn I woke up to the sound of Juna taking a bath. Does he wake up every morning?. It turned out that Juna grew up to be a diligent and determined young man.

I got up and sat on the bed checking my phone. I hope the message I sent to Yoga gets a reply, but Yoga has not yet replied, instead there is a message from Bian asking how I am and how the atmosphere in a new place.

But I just read, because it's better that me and Bian are no longer as close as they used to be, we're no longer a couple, and it's not good that we keep in touch as intensely as we used to be.

Perhaps the wounds in our hearts would be difficult to treat if we kept exchanging news and showing concern by asking small questions about daily activities.

I put my phone back on the bed and I came out of the room to see that Juna had finished his bath. Replace me in the bathroom for ablution. Juna and I prayed at dawn in the living room. After that Juna took me out to get breakfast.

" We have breakfast at the front stall there, Kak, Juna will immediately leave, because we have to wait for a bus invitation at the front stop. Brother didn't papa go back to his own contract?".

I nodded, "Yes no papa anyhow not too far from the contract, brother can remember the way home".

" What every day you wake up and go to work so early?", asked Juna who was checking important papers that he would take to submit as a condition of the employment contract.

" Yes Kak, if you miss the bus invitation must start the vehicle again, and it must pay for itself, too much expenditure will be".

It turns out that besides being diligent and diligent, Juna is also very frugal living here. Hopefully his hard work will yield maximum results. Juna could be a successful person in the future.
