It has been a week since Asel was left by his parents, his condition is still not stable. For two days he just woke up and fainted when he remembered his parents were gone. Then, on the third and fourth days of his work, he just cried and locked himself in the room. Lucky on the fifth day until now Asel was willing to leave the room even though his gaze was sometimes empty.
Fevi as his cousin felt sorry to see the condition of Asel now which is still sad. Being told to eat was very difficult, no wonder if his body has now been transformed like a crusted skull. Plus some neighbors who instead aggravated spreading rumors if Asel's parents committed suicide because of being chased by loan sharks. Acel's parents accidentally bump themselves into a roadblock as the loan shark chases after him.
Fevi knows that Asel's parents are in debt with a loan shark whose value is not small. Although it has been paid by his mother for two months, but still the debt can not be paid immediately because the interest is swollen and the period taken is quite long. He refused to believe that Asel's parents had committed suicide when his mother told police about the condition of Asel's car in good condition. Even Fevi begged her mother to keep it a secret so that her cousin would not get sadder.
"Cell, try a banana sponge made by my mother, it tastes good!" bargain Fevi while placing a plate containing pieces of cake on the table Asel study.
"You're good, yeah. You still have parents" Asel said in a sad tone.
Fevi fell silent, his heart's intention to comfort his cousin, but instead made him sad because he had to remember his parents who were gone.
"Sorry, Cell." Fevi immediately hugged Asel who was back sobbing. "You have to be strong, you can't keep going, Cell! Your parents must be sad if you keep getting rich."
"I'm .. I'm still tough----"
"Sstt .. You can't keep gini. Now is the time to get up. You're still sad enough." Fevi rubbed his brother's shoulders. "You know I have to go home later, so you have to fight and you can't give up!" his sweat.
Grief is possible, but if it dissolves into endless sadness, it is tantamount to suicide. It was hard for Asel to rise from a painful slump, but anyone must have a problem, and the choice was to get up or stay in place.
A situation that required Asel to re-serve, his sanity had slowly returned after several times he wanted to end his life. He realized if he caught up with his parents, he would only make his aunt's burden heavier. The words of his uncle last time that secretly really made him slap quite hard.
"Heh, kid! You don't realize that your uncle's trouble with your aunt continues? You're so humans should be of little use, don't be rich your parents are running away from responsibility by the way of death," the speech that was spoken slowly was so pronounced that it felt so piercing to the deepest part of the heart. Provides a feeling of tightness in the chest along with tears that return to flow.
"If you try to die, you're worse than your useless parents! His job is just to owe and be a coward to be billed!" The final sentence that made Asel's chest rumble wanted to be angry. It was like he was replying to his uncle's hurtful words, but rather than that, he would prove directly if he was not like his parents and he would not trouble his uncle anymore.
When his aunt left, he was tricked into an ATM card with a password to use if there is an urgent need, of course Asel did not accept, but finally accepted because it was urged. To be honest, even though he felt a lot of pressure in his life, but the hassle of continuing his aunt also made him uncomfortable. Moreover, his uncle was blatantly as if he felt burdened by it. When he was offered to live with Fevi's family, he refused.
For two days after his aunt's departure he was still at home alone, playing a few lectures from some religious figures to help
utakan. At least that way, his desire to give up and die could he kick all the way. As he once said, fight to stay alive, because life is full of struggle. So, he must keep fighting to continue his life so as not to be a waste for him.
Some goods that can be sold have been sold to be used as rupiah coffers to pay off some of his parents' debts elsewhere, with a small amount. At least with the lack of goods at home, he can sell his house and rent a cheaper contract. Regarding loan sharks, want him to move anywhere will be known, so there is no story he can run away from debt.
Thought about the phone phone card that he accidentally released because he was lazy to connect with his friends. Because of the impulse of curiosity he finally put it too. Some notifications immediately appear on the top screen. Most notifications from chat apps. There are some friends who defend condolences, but there are also some who even kepo and ask about the relationship of death and the debts of his parents. Honestly, it made his heart hurt again.
Lazy to add to the pain, he chose to take off his first card and immediately he broke it, then floated beautifully towards the trash can. He is determined to start his day from the beginning, he will not let his past bring up the things he wants to keep close. Even the plan to move there was also interference from his sharp-mouthed neighbor.
As if having a book about the disgrace of others, the neighbors love to cuss and expose the disgrace of Asel's parents. Almost every day he heard the disgusting chatter, making him really feel lazy to stay at home. So moving away from those annoying people feels better. His new neighbors will not know his past.
Today he plans to find a contract that he can live in for a while, while he also seeks money so that his parents' debt can be repaid immediately. With the second motorbike he bought, he began looking for a location a little far from the area where he lives now.
Several times*******tiredness just escaped from his lips. Life is difficult to guess and full of surprises. Yesterday he was able to indulge with his parents, knowing if the next day he had to fight alone. His dreams must run aground. Her happy times have also run aground and left only the debris of hope that will either be realized or not. Simply put, his hope only wants his parents' debt paid off as soon as possible.
After successfully obtaining one empty contract, Asel was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief. The price pegged is also not too expensive, so his ideals for a frugal life are easily realized. At least before he found a lick seller on the side of the road. Even save becomes wishful thinking.
The buyer who is not much into his consideration to buy a friendly schoolboy snack in the bag. Besides, sometimes snack feels no harm, alibi.
"Bang, want--"
"I go first!" sidestep someone while nudging his shoulders hard enough. "Buy the ciloknya twenty thousand!" he added with the style of petenteng petenteng cool.
"I go first, Bang. I will arrive first," Asel protest a little unacceptable.
Isn't there a culture? So why is the person next to him acting as if this lizard is his subordinate who can be as he asked.
"Woi! I got there first, so you just back off!" tell the man rancidly.
It is not entirely surprising if the behavior of the child is far from manners. From one look Asel also knew if his appearance was the one with the hair that was messy and clothes that were not neat-tidy it was not a good category human being. The nickname of street thugs is more suitable pinned on him. Precisely if the man even spoke soft words, Asel could faint in a place so shocked.
Lazy storm, Asel chose to give up. A typical human who does not want to succumb like that is good preserved into a block of ice in Antarctica. Luamayan is for the display of polar bears in his cave.
"Oi, Deck! Do it with the girls!" knock someone else. "Bang, this one girl is just first," he told the cilok trader.
"Eh? Chick?" acel was half upset. He is not small, but even seelakinain katainunyil.
"What the hell, Brother! It's l--"
"You brother said to Mama that you're still on the side of the road!" deny the big brother.
Asel no longer cared about the chattering of the brothers who were fighting the argument, the most important thing was that the order had been made. Not even a minute has the order been completed. He also only bought the hawker five thousand, so the content is also only 10 cilok seeds.
Asel almost forgot one thing, he had to thank the brother of the human minus adab earlier. In addition to making it an early turn, the debate with the sister made it uninterrupted when buying.
"Thank you, Om!" said Asel to the man whose status was the brother of that annoying person.
There was the sound of a loud laugh from that annoying fellow. His intention was to thank him, but calling himself unyil also could not be taken for granted. After all, the person who helped him was also suitable to be called Om. He may be 26 years old.
While walking towards the parked motorbike he ate a peek of his. He drove his vehicle to the market. There are some vegetables to buy for dinner.
Because the market is open almost 24 hours, so the supply of vegetables even though it is noon is still a lot. He only bought a bundle of mustard vegetables and spinach. Then for the side dishes just buy tempeh and tofu.
In the parking lot he saw the figure of an old woman in simple clothes carrying a shopping bag containing vegetables. The woman who was worthy of being called grandma was standing on the edge of the hot shop. Naturally, because the shade is used for a place to sell. Though the grandmother had been there since Asel entered, but until now had not come home too. He approached the old woman.
"Mission, Grandma. Grandma going home alone or waiting for an invitation?" ask Asel politely.
"Wait for my granddaughter to pick up, but don't know this is not yet picked up," he replied as he rubbed the sweat that had flooded his face.
"Where's grandma's house? Can I take you?"
After showing the address of the grandmother who lived in the Permata Indah Jaya residential area, the grandmother agreed to be delivered. He told me that he had waited almost an hour, but his grandson did not come home. This makes Asel's desire to drive the grandmother bigger. He was afraid if the grandmother was deliberately thrown out, considering the house and market were quite far away, and the housing was inhabited by many conglomerates. At least that's what he knew from his best friend, Dina.
Asel was quite amazed when he presented a row of luxury homes that he passed along the residential complex. A car overtakes and stops in front of him, making him shocked and braking suddenly. Lucky not to fall.
Two men got out of the car and immediately came in behind the car, his hands crossed his chest. So cool, inner Acel.
"Woi, get down the granny behind you!" tell the annoying guy who is none other than his cilok rival earlier.
"They're kidnappers from rich families, huh?" mumbling slowly.
