The Colorful Work World
Ch. 62 Return to Tangerang

After I finished charging the rent, I returned home to rest. Unfortunately although I was tired of bringing a laptop home, I rarely used it because more sleep due to tired travel than playing laptop. Because the mood to play is even lost when returning home due to fatigue.

I used to spend the day until Sunday afternoon. I have to get ready to go back to Tangerang. Because Monday I have to work back there. Other options besides the afternoon, I could have returned to Tangerang Monday morning.

But if you leave on that schedule, I'm afraid I'm too tired to work. That's why I chose to go home in the afternoon one day before. I must have been with my family first.

“Mama, sisters. I went back to Tangerang first" said myself while ordering an ojek online.

"Yes, be careful on the road. The hard one works. Must be upbeat and never give up."

"Good mah"

While waiting for the online taxi to come, I chatted with my mother for a while. Unfortunately, you have not been able to deliver to the station because it is still being treated. Even though he is not sick, I will also definitely still use the ojek so as not to bother. Rarely do I ask people at home to take me to the station.

When the ojek had come, I immediately brought my bag and rushed to ride the ojek. Because if it is too long, the driver will not be able to pull the next passenger. After I boarded, don't forget I reminded the motorcycle mamang ojek to drive slowly and carefully. Driving safety is number one, because the family is waiting at home.

The train departure schedule is still quite long, so there is no need to be too rushed when leaving. The journey to the station does not take much time, only about five minutes. On the way, I could only enjoy the view. Seeing people passing on the sidewalk to see various kinds of cars passing there and here.

Arriving at the station, I went inside after giving the helmet to the motorcycle taxi driver. I didn't pay for it in cash because I paid for it through an electronic wallet. At the ticket post, I already bought the tickets online.

So I just need to do a scan of my phone. I just waited for the train to come. While waiting, I just stared at the phone screen while reading the news.

I dare not talk to the other side out of embarrassment. The ability to talk to strangers is not yet available. So I just observe them. Because it's quite interesting to see the people who are going to ride the train.

Some are alone, some are married couples, some are with their families going together. I watched them while looking at the news on my phone.

"The train to Rangkasbitung is coming soon. Please wait behind the yellow line" The sound of the train announcement has already appeared. Looks like the train is coming soon.

I looked at the tracks, I saw that the train had started coming to the station where I was at the moment. There is nothing special about this train. Just like any other local train. It has several cars but no restaurant cars. When the train had stopped completely, I started to climb onto the train.

Usually at this moment we can test how dexterous the train passengers. Some are quickly and confidently using the stairs that have been provided. There are also those who dare to jump high through the train carriage door without using the stairs. I use the stairs myself so as not to consume too much energy.

One car has about 100 seats. The seat is divided into a to e then in front of him there is a bench number. Unfortunately this local train still has no division of seats based on numbers.

So if you want to sit, you have to wrestle with other passengers. So lucky only. Sometimes you get a good seat, sometimes even stand up to the destination. Each car also has a toilet for passengers.

Unfortunately if we leave the chair, the possibility of our chair being taken by someone else is quite large. That's why I intend not to go to the toilet at all along the way. I prepared myself by taking care of it in the toilet. You should also use the train toilet before boarding the local train. Because the WC in this train is not comfortable.

Luckily I got the best seat, right next to the window. But unfortunately this place is close to the toilet, so the smell of the bubbly often I smell. That's why I'm wearing a mask to get on this train.

Bad smells don't just come from the toilet. Sometimes the passenger next to me has a pungent smell as well. It seems like he has gone through a long journey. That's why I can only be patient. It is only an hour and a half away by this train.

While waiting for time to pass, I enjoyed the view outside the train window. Sometimes I also check the phone who knows there is a chat from a friend who entered.

"The train will soon arrive at the final station of Rangkasbitung. Passengers who will disembark at Rangkasbitung station please pay attention to your luggage. Do not be left behind or confused. Thank you for using the local Merak Rangkasbitung train. We look forward to your presence on the next trip."

I checked everything I was carrying. Since I only brought one bag, it didn't bother to make sure there were or weren't items left behind. When the train stopped completely, I was waiting to get out of the train. Get used to the culture of queuing so that there is no commotion and everyone can be comfortable using public facilities.

After that I still have to move to the KRL train. Therefore I immediately went outside to tap on the front door of the station first. I filled the e-money balance so there is no need to bother going to the counter to buy KRL tickets.

After doing tap on, I wait for the KRL train to come. Because currently the train to Serpong only comes every one hour. Don't let me miss the train, because it's too late I get to Serpong.

The announcement has come out and all passengers are flocking to the waiting area as directed by the officer. Because this is the starting station. All the seats should be empty. No passengers have boarded this train.

According to my friend who once boarded this train, when using this train, there will be a war. I wonder if that's true. A few minutes later the train entered the platform and the door opened.

*Gruduk gruduk gruduk*

It turns out true said my friend, many people scramble to get a seat. Because it's my first time riding a KRL train. It's only natural that I lost my seat.

'hahaha, it's like a birthday in a restaurant, play the seat.' say while laughing at the behavior of the passengers of the KRL train..

Even if I get a seat. If in front of me there are parents, pregnant women, or mothers carrying children. I have to prioritize them and give you my seat.

'so I have to hang like this until the destination yes.' I noticed the other passengers around where I was standing. Visibility on the train is limited because there are doors between the cars and many other passengers that block the view.

Unlike my guess, it turns out there are also people who need more seats but the young one is indifferent and does not want to give up his chair. But there are also good people giving the chair. Not everyone in this world has a noble heart. I just hang myself while listening to music through my phone.

Unfortunately, sometimes it is not difficult to get a signal so that the music dies. I do not store songs offline because hp storage is inadequate. If I don't get the internet, I can just enjoy the view. Be it a natural sight or a human sight.

Because there are also beautiful girls who beautify the scenery I can enjoy. But not a few fathers whose faces are tired and unpleasant smell. Fortunately KRL has AC so it smells not as bad as the local train I was on

One by one, I passed through the station. Unfortunately every passenger who got off, where they sat far from my position. So that I continue to stand until I get to my destination.

"Serpong Station, serpong station. Passengers who will disembark at Serpong station please pay attention to your luggage. Don't let things get left behind and exchanged."

"Excuse me sir, ma'am, come down"

I stood by near the exit. Because it's easier and not to miss down. You can even get off at a different station. Travel time can be longer.

Arriving at the station, I went straight to the nearest dining place at the station. Fast food with chicken menu as usual. I eat at the place because it will be complicated if eating at the rented.

The driver until the contract stay directly asleep. No need to do anything else. When eating I was quite happy to see the scenery at the station. When else can eat while looking at the view of the train pacing in and out of the station.

After I finished eating, I prayed at the mosque station after using the public toilet. Beres did everything, I continued the journey using public transport. When I was in the air, I just focused on seeing the scenery as usual.

Because if playing hp I'm afraid there is pickpocketing or hp fell thrown out the angkot. This may happen especially if the angkot driver we ride has the blood of a racer.

"Sir, left sir" I said after seeing where I had to go down.

The rest of the journey I took with both my legs. Riding the bridge then entered the alley until finally reached the contract.

"Finally, quite a trip this time." I muttered while opening the door with the key I brought.

More or less I spent 4 hours to get to the contract from home. If you use the train, the travel time is longer. Relatively cheaper though. If using a private car must run out of 50 thousand gasoline and 100 thousand rupiah toll. But the faster travel time, just an hour.

Make sure the door is locked and then wash your feet and hands. I went to bed immediately after changing clothes and putting the bag in place.

'Working as usual. Monday will come again.' I said in my heart while closing my eyes and reciting prayers before going to bed.
