Before it's time to go home from the office. I've been thinking of a path to go home this time. Usually when I go home, I use the bus to go there. But from my current office, it is faster to go home by train. During working hours, I had booked a ticket to return home from Rangkasbitung station.
From Serpong to Rangkasbitung, I use KRL with the schedule provided. After the calculations, I should have been able to arrive at a time not too late. Finished making a plan, I immediately run it when the time comes home. I quickly took an angkot to the station.
Fortunately the road conditions are still quite crowded so there are still quite a lot of angkot passing by. While riding the angkot, I pay attention to the road situation and also the time. Because it can be troublesome if you get late on the train. I could be stranded on the road later. I saw this time the angkot ride quite a lot, especially mothers. Because this angkot route passes through a market.
Getting to the station, I got off without waiting for the angkot to be directly across from the station. Because the road conditions are very congested and jammed. The forward transport is very slow if this happens. Inevitably, the rest of the journey I took with my own two feet. With my laptop on my shoulder, I walked along the asphalt to get to the station. Walk faster in these conditions.
Naturally the area around the station became jammed. Because many people come here to travel. Surely then the people here are quite dense. Near the station there is a market. Already complete are the factors that make this road jammed. People who often pass here must not be surprised by this jammed condition.
On the way I also smell various kinds of goods in the market. Starting from the salty smell of fish, to the fragrant smell of fruits. Luckily I managed to get through it all and got to the station on foot.
When I was at the station, I immediately tap the entrance of the KRL and wait for the train to come. I have enough e-money balance because I can check it using my mobile phone. It's not in vain that I bought a phone that has NFC. Indeed it turns out features like this if in Tangerang is very helpful. No need to bother checking balances at the station or top up through the nearest minimarket. Just buy through a mobile phone, more practical.
When I got on the train, I breathed a sigh of relief because it was impossible for me to be late on the local train from Rangkas later. But the challenge is still not over, I have to stand for another hour before I get to Rangkasbitung station. This is indeed one of the challenges when riding KRL. Because this KRL departs from Tanah Abang, so there is very little chance that I can get a seat. I can only hope that there is someone who goes down first near where I am at the moment.
Arriving at Rangkasbitung, I immediately bought water and then drank it directly on the spot before continuing to climb onto the local train. Because as far as I know, current regulations do not allow passengers to eat and drink on the train with travel hours under two hours. After the condition of the body was stable, I took the train back to the station near my house.
The last trip I went through with an angkot then the rest on foot. Because the location of the angkot drop off to the house is not too far away. It's only about five minutes. Getting home, my body was very tired because I had to walk while carrying a laptop in my backpack. The mother who saw me back home was shocked and immediately asked me.
“Loh Ray! how do you get straight back here? not contracted there?.” Asked my mother in surprise to see me coming home tired.
“So gini mah sisar”
I started to tell you about the full incident at the office. Hearing my story, my mother immediately worried and said. “Already son, no need to expect to work shift. It's safer tomorrow just contract, break there. I'm not going to come back here at the end of the week.”
Hearing my mother's opinion, I agreed with her and immediately contacted the contract where I contracted first. Later that night I prepared some items that I would bring to the contract such as clothes and others. But I didn't bring too many things, I decided to buy clothes later just there. Because I want to be home still left clothes that I can wear.
Taking care of everything, I immediately took a break in the room after undergoing a tiring day. NIkmat once after tired all day, bathe at home, then sleep on a soft mattress.
*The next day*
I woke up and immediately got ready. Unlike yesterday, this time I will try to go to Tangerang by using public transportation. Coupled with the clothes I could carry as well as the folding mattress I used to wear, my luggage today was quite heavy.
Before leaving, my mother told me to leave the goods alone at the security guard, later when the new home was taken again. I nodded at my mother's words and then started walking back to Tangerang.
Just like yesterday, I took the local train then KRL. This time I got on the train in the morning. Unlike yesterday I went up that afternoon. Arrive at the office, following the advice of the mother. I put my luggage in the office security.
“Ya, what's up?”
“Can nitip first do not pack this item, later fitting home my office take again.”
The security guard received the item I gave and gave a smile while waiting for my arrival later when I returned home from the office. Having a problem with the goods, I returned to the room I worked in yesterday and went through the days just as usual. In front of the laptop then work on the application requested by the user.
The difference is, today has started fasting, so I do not have to eat lunch. But as a result of that I ran out of a long way, my body was limp all day. I was lucky to survive and finish my job well today. When it was time to go home from work, I immediately left and went back to the security guard room to pick up the item I had left.
“Mission sir, want to grab the item that was”
“Oh yes, this is the item. Safe under control.”
“Thank you yes pak”
After thanking the security guard, I immediately boarded the angkot. Unlike yesterday, this time I continued to go up to where I used to go down in the Tangerang contract. But the difference, this time I contracted in a different place. Even though I was still in the same complex After getting off the angkot and walking a few meters, I finally reached where I contracted before.
“Eh, mas Ray has arrived. Monggo mas enter first. Open the fast first.” Said mother boarding while opening the door after I said hello.
“Thank you bu.”
Incidentally because it is now the month of Ramadan, office hours come home faster. This makes the time of my arrival to the contract fitting with the time to open. I ate all the food and drinks they served. We opened up while chatting a few things, especially about the contract that I will occupy.
“Iya mas Ray, the place that yesterday mas Ray occupied already ngisi. Now there is another empty place, papa? Because it is a contract that is very sparse filled by people again.”
“By deh, later try a month first, if convenient. Continue signing him.”
“Alright then, let's get me to his room”
I followed the landlord and followed him to the back area. On the way, I saw the rented room that I had occupied before. It was true that someone had occupied it. There were some good memories of the few months I stayed in this one. For a moment I was silent to remember almost a year, settled in this rented. Before proceeding to a new contract.
When I arrived at the rented room, the rented mother opened the door and then showed me the contents of the contract where I would sleep today. There are two rooms, the front and back. The front room is quite spacious with a size of approximately 3x3 meters. Enough for me to sleep alone.
The back room contains a place to put the stove and also the bathroom. It was narrower and cheaper than my previous contract. But I think it's enough to stay for a while. After all, later if not at home can move the contract again next month. Before this contract is occupied, there is still something to be done…. Beaked
