Tonight I feel like a famous artist. When he walked out of the slums where he lived, he was now the center of attention.
The views of the people to him looked different, even the residents of the wild boarding house, some to the thumbs up to him.
Anang just nodded his head with a smile, to the people who greeted him, as it passed among the residents of the boarding house who were relaxing on the narrow roadside, among the wild buildings, as it passed, under that bridge.
She looks cool with her new look.
Moreover, coupled with the guitar hanging on his back, it really looks like a famous singer who will go on stage.
Likewise when he walked to where he usually busied, on the edge of the city. When passing people who are also walking on the sidewalk, Anang can get free smiles from women who see it.
Although only wearing regular jerseys with trousers, paired with flip-flops as usual, but changes in his hair really affect the overall appearance of Anang.
When he arrived at the outskirts of the city, visitors there seemed to be getting crowded.
Anang can no longer be like an open concert while busking there. He had to sing alternately from table to table, where the visitors ate.
Each table, there are visitors who ask for a special song, there are also those who only let Anang sing whatever song Anang wants.
"But! I don't like local songs. If you know a western rock song, I want to hear it. Sorry about bang!" said one of the visitors at one of the tables in the place.
"But! Don't keep old songs! Bored bang!" Back Anang got a rejection from visitors.
Although there are those who want him to sing, but the appreciation they give is not much.
When Anang moves into one of the tables that seems to be filled with one family, Anang gets a little information from one of the visitors' children.
"Nobody's never heard a song online? Now there are many new songs. Nice-nice. Why is her sister singing only songs that were there before I was born?" said the boy, before a mature woman, who might be his mother, reprimanded him, and apologized to Anang.
"I'm sorry, my! Understand my son is still a child. Sometimes just say the origin," said the mother, then put the money in a plastic bag belonging to Anang.
"Oh! Nothing, ma'am ...! Thanks!" said Anang.
Anang's performance affects the way people communicate with him, but not with his songs. People seem to be getting bored, even though Anang's voice is quite melodious.
It is not easy to entertain others. Especially with the progress of the era, Anang can not be surprised. There must be a lot of changes in the entertainment world, although Anang does not know what it looks like.
Song online?
Is that on the phone?
Anang saw the results of busking it this time. Less than one serving of meatballs.
I thought about finding more information.
Although the people he met now, looked more friendly to him than usual, but his income did not increase, it even seemed to decrease a lot.
"Sir! I'm going first! Thanks, yes, sir!" Excuse me for the old merchant who sells there.
"Oh! Are you going home yet?" ask the old man, while still poking his peanut sauce.
"No sir. I want to try to find a new song. People seem to be tired of those songs" Anang said.
"I go first, yes, sir?! ... Excuse me!" keep Anang on.
"Yes, Son!" said the old merchant, then Anang passed away from there.
Anang walked while looking around to and fro. He was looking around for a store that sold cell phones, which were still open around there.
Anang walked over, then entered the place.
Glass cabinets are neatly arranged, showing a variety of forms of mobile phones that are almost similar, with different names.
Anang took a look inside the glass display case displaying all the phones, which were made to look more attractive by the store owner.
"Search what?" asked a woman, who when Anang entered earlier, was seen sitting facing one of the glass cabinets, now approaching the closet where Anang stood.
He looked at the woman for a moment. White woman with narrow eyes, and looks friendly.
"My mom wants to look around her phone first, can you?" ask Anang slowly.
"Can, Mas! ... What do you want? ... I'll help you later" said the woman kindly.
"I want someone to listen to a song online" Anang said.
The woman smiled. But don't laugh at Anang. Maybe he knew, that Anang really did not understand about cell phones at all.
"Want a good one or something ordinary?" ask the woman.
Anang was silent for a moment, thinking.
The better the goods must be the more expensive, and the less likely it is for Anang to be able to buy them.
If Anang can buy the usual, then how? Can it work well?
"If it's the cheapest what's the price, huh?" ask Anang carefully.
"If it's too cheap, I don't recommend it. Usually, the resistance is not good. There is also no guarantee" said the woman.
The woman then opened the glass cabinet from the inside where she was standing, then pulled out a cell phone from inside.
"This, for example. It cost five red notes. But, the guarantee is not there, also the specifications are very low. Not able to function properly, if too many applications are installed....
... Suitable for children who only play offline games." The woman explained while showing the phone, and showed Anang all the details on the phone.
Hearing the woman's explanation, even though there were some that Anang did not understand, still the one Anang caught was just that the object could not function properly.
Although cheap, but easily damaged, it is a waste of money.
"Hm ... If that is, is there? How much?" ask Anang more curious.
The woman put the phone in her hand again into the closet, and put it in its original place.
"This is standard. It cost twenty pieces of red banknotes" said the woman, pointing out another cell phone, which she had just taken from the cupboard.
The woman then gave the object to Anang so that she could see it clearly.
Carefully, Anang picked up and held the phone while playing slowly looking at the color and paying attention to the model.
"It's been pretty good, huh?" tanya Anang was still curious.
"Yes. There is also a guarantee. If there is damage that is indeed congenital from the phone, Mas can come here for warranty claims....
... This phone has a promo. So if you buy this, you have got the first card of one of the mobile network providers. Free internet for three months after being activated," the woman said, explaining in detail.
