Love In Tanjung Priuk's
Follow My Command

Geck, tok, tok.

Adifa who was compiling a road letter in her 2x3 room stood up to open the door.

"What's up, sir?" ask him to Mr. Indra. Chief driver there.

"At busy, sweetie?" Not that he answered, he asked back.

"Not really."

The potbellied man took something out of his pants pocket, took Adifa's hand and put something into Adifa's palm.

"This was a daycare from the children, do not refuse ya, dear."

Adifa opened her palm, apparently a white envelope whose color had changed due to their sweat and slight chafing. "What is this, sir?" adifa asked not to understand why she was suddenly given an envelope. "I'm no longer a marriage, why is it?"

"We heard he said his dad loved the accident, and that's for our father-in-law."

Adifa understood, her chest felt a wave when she heard it. "Where did you hear? Why bother? My father is okay, thank God he is healthy," said Adifa with tears in her eyes.

All he knows about the accident is his friend. What did Adinda tell the drivers? Even if Adinda tells these drivers, they are also not obliged to make a donation. These people have more needs than Adifa, why think about her?

"It's okay, honey. That's our father-in-law, don't be rejected, baby. Our love is rejected. If rejected, our hearts will be broken." Adifa looked at the man while hugging his white envelope.

Only a month he joined into korlap, but the togetherness of the drivers so thick. "Thank you, sir," said Adifa, unable to hold back the feeling of haru.

"Greetings to your father-in-law, hopefully get well soon."

Returning to her desk, Adifa opened the envelope with trembling hands and chest. When he saw the contents of the envelope, Adifa could no longer hold the clear circle that he had been holding since when he saw the small amount of money that was scuffed from two thousand rupiah, up to ten thousand rupiah. When calculated, the number is two hundred thousand, a decent amount of a total of 30 drivers and kernets. Only this time he felt so close family, first when he worked in the office. Hearing he was sick or his parents just treated his office friends as if not heard.

Working among many men makes Adifa feel loved and cared for. Early became korlap, can not be lied to if Adifa feel anxious, other than those who sometimes do not want to be regulated, the nature of most men can not keep their eyes, they are not, therefore, Adifa never dress neatly other than using fragrant oil.

The thing that Adifa only knows is also from the drivers, if they have a group and cash that is drawn ten thousand per person every month. The group is not only a driver group from jabodetabek, but comes from a combination of all Indonesia. It was formed, if among the drivers had an accident, and the money was used to help them. Of course the one who holds the cash, the one who is very trusted.

Lunch, Adifa and Adinda choose to eat meatballs on the side of the road. The hot weather made the two women drool to eat food made of ground beef mixed with hot sauce, plus sauce and sausage that was able to make saliva more flooded.

"Din, this morning the drivers gave me money. He said to papa, they roughly know where ya papa's accident came from?" adifa asked her best friend to deny the meatball sauce scooped to cool quickly. "Nobody knows but you." Adifa stuffed a large meatball into her tiny mouth.

"Sorry, Dif. This morning I accidentally slipped. I asked them if you went in, if you didn't come in because your dad had an accident."

"Thank God your problems are over, but new problems arise."

"What problem?" tanya looked at Adifa who was sitting in front of her. The lips of the two girls looked red from the spiciness.

"Former wallet, but the money was taken, not returned. Who has a bule wallet. The bule guy turned out to be smart, he saw the hospital cctv footage. Because it was discovered, inevitably I pawn ktp the same id card I," Adifa took a deep breath. "Id card I'm not too much trouble, but ktp. It's too bad to do it again? I was also afraid that I might be wrong. Where we don't know each other."

"Kok can-can you love a card as important as that same person you know anyway, Dif? If it was used for a crime what? Moreover, today's bule is serem-serem. The crime is scary." Adinda's voice was slightly raised, how could Adifa be that reckless.

"The name is also desperate, Din. How are you gonna do it again?" Adifa's face already implied a lot of fear. He's reckless, why didn't he think about it last night? Easily and trustfully provide his personal important data to people he does not know.

"If you can, make me a new id card, so if there's nothing I don't have to."

Because it was too serious with his chat, Adifa and Adinda did not realize that there had been people they had been talking about eavesdropping on their conversation. When Adifa stood up to pay for the meatball, Adifa accidentally glanced at the man sitting next to her while enjoying his spicy meatballs.

"Loh, you?" Adifa touched Mahawira's shoulder. Mahawira was not bothered at all with Adifa.

Adinda looked at Adifa asking for an explanation. But Adifa is focusing on Mahawira again. "Why are you here, you're following me?" Adifa again took a seat beside Mahawira, asking for an explanation of the handsome man.

"I live near here, is there a problem?" tanyanya glanced at Adifa.

Adifa faithfully waited for Mahawira to finish his meal, the blaster-faced man finished two bowls of spicy meatballs at once. Adinda came back first because the work piled up.

Slurpphp.

Mahawira sips meatball sauce so deliciously.

Geez, good-looking luck.

Glug.

Adifa took a sip of saliva to see the way the man ate, even though he had already eaten. Plus seeing his thin red lips, making Adifa not only want to eat the meatballs, but also the lips of Mahawira.

"Bakso, Chinese-Indonesian cuisine. It comes from the word Bak-So, in Hokkien which literally means ground meat. It was first made by a man named Meng Bo in the late 17th century as his dedication to his mother." Mahawira looked at Adifa. "This food is famous in Indonesia because it is cheap and tastes good."

"What was your purpose in following me here?" Ask Adifa again, because it's strange why she always meets Mahawira.

"I'm just making sure you're working here." He rubbed his lips using tissue.

"You think I'm lying?"

"Now we can't just trust anyone else, right?"

"God, I should be worried that you might use my identity card to commit fraud." Tandas Adifa's.

"Yes, I seem to agree with the idea."

"Huft, don't mess around. I can sue you."

"Where can a kisser like you sue a rich man like me?" Mahawira turns her lips mocking. But somehow in Adifa's eyes the fall looks sweet. Adifa's heart is like ice cream in the heat of the weather.

Lord, please take care of my heart.

"If you want your debt paid off, you must obey what I command." Mahawira's words made Adifa flinch consciously.

"What order?"

"I'll tell you later." Mahawira pays the meatballs, then leaves Adifa.
