SIERA

SIERA
5.


"It feels very tiring, walking without direction and purpose," he murmured by wiping the sweat that continues to pour soaked his body, Anjeli continued down the road and there was no intention in the slightest to return, he really wanted to stay away from his family.


It does not feel like the day is almost changing at night, but Anjeli has not found the most comfortable place to shelter.


Because tired, Anjeli decided to stop at a roadside dining place that was very crowded.


Anjeli who is exhausted with a weak body condition is now almost unable to continue his journey again.


Until he finally asked permission to the owner of the stall to take a short break at the stall after eating simple food sold at the stall.


Almost three hours, Anjeli sat resting in front of the shop, until eleven at night there was a woman, with her clothes slightly open stop and greet her.


"Excuse me Ma'am..., if you may know, where to go?, I have twice passed this road but mbak was still sitting here,"


Sapa one of the women who accidentally passed for the second time and still saw Anjeli was still sitting on the front bench of his regular food stall.


"Let's go, I don't have a purpose!,"


anjeli replied with a long sigh.


"Then, if you don't mind coming to my house, at least for tonight there's a shelter and not sitting on the side of the road like this, I'm afraid there's some bad guy bothering me." He reluctantly invites Anjeli to stay at his house tonight, although he is not familiar with Anjeli, but pity softens his heart to help Anjeli.


"Thank you, you're so good."


Poor Anjeli meets a kind girl who invites him to stay at his house tonight, Anjeli who has no choice is only able to follow the advice of the girl, even though he does not know her.


After arriving at the front of the house that looks very simple with walls that already look not intact anymore and a terrace with tiles that have been cracked.


"Sorry, just a simple house, but Alhamdulillah is still worthy of shelter"


Staring at Anjeli who just stood in front of his house, while looking at the house in front of him with a sad look.


"let's go in, please"


Invite him again, because Anjeli is still silent in front of the house.


"Yes, I'm sorry to daydream,"


said Anjeli who just hooked up after his daydream was scattered by the girl.


They also entered the house together.


"sister.." cried the little boy as he ran towards them.


"He's your brother?.'


"Yes, he's seven years old, he used to live alone if I was working every day.


Oh..iya, from the moment we talked, I forgot to introduce myself, my name is elin and this is my sister's name is Anjas."


"i Anjeli, if you may know, what age are you now?," asked Anjeli though a bit unwell but he wanted to know should call the girl with the name of sister or sister.


".This year is 20 years old" replied Elin kindly.


"I'm proud of you at a very young age but already very independent,"


"It seems that I should call mbak a sister, like she's older than me."


"Yes.., I'm older than you, and I'm happy with brother's call."


"It's night, you better take a break, tomorrow we continue talking, this brother's room, sorry just the restroom." While taking Anjeli into the room which is actually his sister's room, but rarely occupied because his sister does not want to sleep alone, despite his age of seven years now.


"the room is very nice, I'm really very grateful, because of your kindness I don't sleep on the streets tonight."


"So my brother, don't say it again, you should rest, it seems you are very tired and a little pale".


"Well, thanks elin, good night"


"Good night to you too."


Elin went out and entered the room that was right next to the room that Anjeli now occupied.


"Alhamdulillah, tonight has a comfortable shelter. Now how is Siera?, may the boy not cry for me, and what is he doing now?, may he not vent his disappointment by drinking intoxication as before," guman Anjeli remembers the family he loved so much.


Because of the fatigue of walking all day, Anjeli also fell asleep.

In the Bagas residence, there was the sound of Siera's cries waking up and looking for Anjeli. His omnipotent speech is almost impatient to face Siera who is a bit fussy since the departure of Anjeli.


While Bagas has not been heard from until midnight.


"Where are you son?, you know Siera is fussy again you even go out and not tell mom from earlier," said Miranti who was increasingly upset because Bagas who had not yet returned home and did not give any news at all.


While elsewhere, Bagas who refused to go home and was still busy enjoying a beer at the cafe owned by his best friend.


"For you not to go home, it's late at night, isn't Siera looking for you?" Aga said.


"no, I'm lazy to come home tonight, let me here and don't bother me,"


said Bagas who had staggered, I don't know how many bottles he had finished gulping.


"The team who only thought Bagas was in a mess because his business was on the edge, could only sit and accompany Bagas to drink, but not to get drunk like Bagas."


After seeing Bagas very drunk, he decided to take Bagas to one of Bagas's hotels not far from his cafe.


Arriving at the hotel, he drove Bagas to Bagas' VVIP room.


Bagas who had been unconscious immediately lay soundly on the soft mattress of his hotel which had been bankrupted.


"It seems that your problem is so heavy, my friend, that you are like this, but I don't think this is because of your company case, but there are others that really make your heart disappointed, does this have anything to do with the lady friend?, or is Anjeli now leaving you?," whispered Aga to the unconscious Bagas.


Aga who is very familiar with the character of Bagas a little understand the problem that happened to Bagas even though Bagas did not tell him anything. For a long time their friendship was intertwined inside, unable to be hidden.


The curious Aga tried to contact Bagas' assistant and find out what was really happening to Bagas now to make him return drunk like before meeting with Anjeli.


And it is true that Anjeli left Bagas and surely this makes a very deep wound for a Bagas, who only loves one woman in his life, Anjeli.


"Finally the girl gave up too, I admit that Miss Miranti is indeed very cruel."
