The dancers still carry out their actions by showing shrewdness dancing on the iron pole in the middle of the club. Arumi, who had finished her task, immediately passed from the stage.
Some men approached the stage and slipped a note of money at a favored dancer.
Leon's eyes caught the figure of the dancer who resembled Arumi waltzing into the space behind the stage. He kept staring in that direction, hoping that the woman would come out again or be able to meet in the middle of the crowd.
Meanwhile, backstage, Arumi gulped down the water in her half-living bottle. He took off his mask, and the complementary accessories that were in his hair and face. Remove the makeup on her face, then change her clothes with regular t-shirts and jeans, then put on a jacket with a hoodie.
That night he was eager to visit a place he had long missed. He longs for his house that burned down first. The one he saw yesterday was a tent on the land where he lived. Arumi wondered who lived there.
Arumi exited the back door, and got into her car, and drove off in the dark of night. The sound of music and frenetic buzzing began to sound soft and disappear his voice, Arumi began to enter the city, heading towards the direction of his residence.
Arriving, in the ruins of his residence, Arumi was very surprised, because it turned out that not only one tent was there, but there were almost ten tents had been built on the land.
Arumi pulled over the car and parked it in front of a mini market not far from there. He entered the mini market, looking for canned coffee, and then took it to the cashier to pay.
"Sir, what is that place?" Arumi asked idly while pointing at her residential land.
"Oh, that."
Arumi nodded, waiting for an explanation from the cashier mother.
"It became the residence of the victims of the fire in the downtown area, which has now turned into a center for offices, entertainment, apartments, and malls." Said the cashier.
"When did it happen?" Cecar Arumi's.
"His fire on that land?" Arumi.
"Oh, that was about a year ago. So, at that time the residents actually rejected the plan for the construction of a multi-storey building in the downtown area. They prefer natural places, such as city parks or green areas, in order to cope with flooding. However, after they held a rejection demo. Three days later there was a huge fire in the area. And now there has been built a multi-storey building, which contains apartments, offices, and malls, there is also an entertainment place there. Most of the owners of that place are foreigners, and the higher-ups of this town, Ma'am." The story of the cashier.
"This is the change." Say to the cashier, while handing over the change and receipt.
"Make the change." Answer Arumi.
The cashier's mother was silent for a moment, knowing that there were many, because Arumi handed over hundreds of thousands of sheets, while she only bought a can of ready-made coffee.
"But.."
"It has. What's up." Arumi said with a smile.
"Thank you, Ma'am." The cashier smiled sincerely, shedding tears.
"Well, Mommy, how you crying?" Asked Arumi while staring at the cashier earlier.
"My family were also victims of the fire, Ma'am. Now we've lost everything. My father eventually fell ill due to the stress of losing our living quarters and stores. My mother also worked as a laundry and ironing worker. I used to work at Mr. Haris' club, but I don't feel at home. I'm not that kind of woman, Ma'am. I applied for a job as a waiter, but was placed in a row of girls of choice. Gisel eventually replaced me, and he also allowed my family to stay in his house first. Brother Thomas, also allow my family and three other girls to occupy their vacant home." The cashier told me about his life.
Arumi patted the back of the cashier's hand and smiled.
"I can nitip the car in front. I want to go straight. It's been a long time since I've been back in town."
"Oh, go ahead, ma'am. I'm even happy. The effect is so crowded. Kan, it's open 24 hours." The answer.
Arumi nodded, then passed from the mini market, towards the yard.
Arumi walked down the street in front of the fence of his house, then he entered through the gate of his residence. There are buildings left unburned, used as rooms. Then the bathroom which is just the roof is gone, becomes a public bathroom for them. Drill wells, which are a source of water, they use together.
Arumi sighed for a moment as she went around looking at the area.
The sound of a baby crying, Arumi peeking. A young woman tried to calm the baby by cradling and feeding him, then the baby looked calm.
"Mom, who are you looking for? Or looking for a place to live?" Ask the middle-aged man.
"Oh, I just saw look, sir. I haven't been back to this city in a long time. Why could it be like this? Then not, this used to be a big house owned by a businessman..." Arumi pretended to forget.
"Yes, this is Mr. Barra's residence." Answer the man with a smile.
"Why did it go like this?" Arumi pointed at the place from end to end.
"Yes, one year ago there was a big land fire. As a result of our refusal to plan the construction of the multi-storey building. It made us ordinary people, to be eliminated. We're pretty sure it was all intentional, but, uh, we don't have any evidence. And we lost our house, our possessions. We want justice, but we have nothing left to ask for our rights, for all has been consumed by fire!" The man said with emotion.
"I'm sorry, sir."
"Sir, would you like to stop by my place?"
"Can, which one, sir?"
The man led Arumi to the very end of the tent. He remembered, it used to be a barn in his backyard. Where he used to put whatever was unused. The barn had survived the fire, as if it had been separated from the main house. Now, the warehouse is locked into two places. One of them was where the man lived with his family.
Arumi saw her bicycle as a child placed in the corner of a tent.
Arumi was acquainted with the man's family and the man's neighbor earlier. They are very friendly and welcome the presence of Arumi with joy.
From the meeting, Arumi realizes, if all of it is reset the important people of the city, who thirst for money. Including Mr. Haris, Mr. Marco, and other city officials.
From their story, Arumi learns, that, Mr. Haris and Viona also recruited young girl girls to work at the club. They were looking for a young maiden who was still a virgin to sell for a high price.
It was late at night, finally Arumi said goodbye. They offer Arumi to stay, but Arumi reasons to stay near the area.
Arumi left the area, rushing towards the mini market, where her car was parked.
Arumi felt that someone was following her. He accelerated his pace, heading to that mini market. Then suddenly, someone pulled his arm, as fast as lightning, Arumi brushed aside and turned her body, and counterattacked the person.
"Auuhh, ouch!" Shouted the man earlier, not expecting, Arumi would attack and fight back.
"What do you want?" Look at Arumi sharply.
"Please, come with me, there's someone who wants to see you. Take it easy, we're not bad people." The man quietly agreed, reassuring Arumi.
Arumi was unmoved, he remained vigilant.
A black car approached them. Car door opened.
"Come, Rumi! I'd like to talk to you for a minute." Say the figure of the man sitting in the back seat.
Arumi was surprised, hearing the man know his name. He wasn't sure that person wasn't a bad person. He doesn't trust anyone in the city right now.
Arumi was preparing to run away, the distance to the mini market, just a few dozen meters away, however, it looked lonely. If he had run to his residence earlier, it was further away, but there were many people.
"Does of a hard choice!" Inner Arumi.
Then he decided to run towards the mini market, at least, seen some buyers in there, he could ask for help, if he could not fight everyone in the car.
Arumi finally hit the body of the man who caught her earlier, then she ran quickly towards the mini market earlier, and went straight into it. The car had stopped in front of the mini market before leaving.
"Who is that guy?" Arumi muttered while trying to catch her breath gasping.
