The Colorful Work World
Ch. 70 New Years 2

After the train stops perfectly and the train door opens. I went straight up after waiting for the person to come down. The ethics of getting on the train is to allow the inside to get out first. Then do not stand in the way of the passengers who are down. Because they have to come first. After the passengers disembarked, the passengers began to board the train.

If at Palmerah station is usually not too crowded. Because most people have already ascended from the land of Abang. From this station that goes up even the number of people a little. But usually the train is full of people. It is rare to get a seat for this train.

I was standing in a position to look towards the window. At least I can see the view of Jakarta all the way. When I'm bored, I usually listen to music with earphones throughout the trip. Or read some articles on the internet using a mobile phone.

It's a pleasure to listen to your favorite song while riding a train like this. It is a bit troublesome if suddenly the internet signal is lost. Music may be killed due to buffering. It is safer to store songs offline so that we can listen anytime and anywhere. As long as the phone has a battery. But I do not do that because it will only make the hp storage full.

I rarely talk in the KRL. Especially for passengers who are sitting. Because most of them close their eyes or are busy with their own mobile phones. Usually I only make a quick observation of the passengers on the train.

Because it's the new year's atmosphere. I see very few people who wear uniforms or clothes to go to work. Most passengers are people who are on a trip and carry items such as luggage.

The car I was in was mixed between a girl and a boy. It is amazing why there are women who do not occupy the train car specifically for women. But from the issues I heard. The carriage was even more bar-bar than the mixed one. It's a pity that if one girl's mothers are like what, suddenly the opponent of the other mothers. What's hectic about that car?

I remember when I was going to Jakarta, I was at Sudirman Station. The contents of the car were full and crammed. Even without a grip I won't fall. I will tell you about it at a later time. For now, I'm still on my way back to Tangerang's contract.

The train I was in was now quite relieved and not too crowded. Even though I didn't get a seat. My feet are still free to move to and fro. Because of tremor also if the legs must use the same muscles to stand continuously. An hour later, I finally reached Serpong.

I see the weather is still raining. Fortunately, I always carry an umbrella when I go to the office. Because when I came home from work, I was once rained. Since then, I always put an umbrella in my bag. As the saying goes, get an umbrella before it rains.

From the station I went to the road where angkot ngetem. Just like most angkots, they are lined up waiting for passengers to board their cars. As I always did, I chose the angkot that was at the very end.

Because usually the angkot that has been at the end will leave and will not be too long. Successfully riding the angkot, I again waited about half an hour until I reached the destination. Get off near the JPO like when you get home from work.

On the way, I saw clearly the impact of the heavy rain last night. Until now, rain still falls on the earth. Many corners of the city are strained by rainwater. There will certainly be many damaged roads that appear after this incident.

Fortunately, I just walked to the contract. It doesn't matter if there is a muddle, just step over or jump it. After a few minutes of walking, I finally got to the contract.

I can't wait to rest in my palace. Your house is your palace. But how shocked I was, when I opened the door, all the stuff inside was already messy and filled with water and mud.

"Astaghfirullah, what's going on here? Is there a vane?' I said in my heart.

Looking at me who was surprised, my neighbor said that last night there was heavy rain. This causes water to enter the contract and cause flooding. I can only resign that all electronic goods have been flattened due to flooding. Because there are so many things I put down.

Starting from the laptop, PS Vita, to the books and comics I bought. Everything was indiscriminately flooded. Whether after finishing taking care of this, some can survive or not. Very sad if it turns out the electronic devices that have been monitoring me have all been damaged.

When I want to clean the contract, I remember that in the contract there is absolutely no mop. That's why I borrowed it from my mom.

"Assalamualaikum, excuse me. Can I borrow the mop? I want to clean up yesterday's flooded room."

Mother boarding went straight inside to take the item I asked "This is mas, I wanted to clean, it was locked the door. Keep on the phone and sms not picked up. Can I help you clean up?"

"No need ma'am, I can do it myself. Later bed linen and carpet can I laundry here Mom? Wet all because of rain."

"That's fine, just bring it right here."

After borrowing the tools, I immediately cleaned my room. All unsafe items such as cardboard and direct foodstuffs I dispose of all. From inside the room, all the items that can not be used I throw out of the house. Although this is disrespectful, but to speed up the cleaning, I was forced to do it.

The rented room consists of 3 parts. Front, middle, and back. The front part I usually put shoes, cardboard, and things I rarely touch. Like the warehouse functions this front room.

I decided to clean the front first. Because it's easy to clean. Everything here automatically becomes trash. The front room is sorted out, the stuff in the middle and can still be saved I put it forward first.

Things like books and clothes I put in front of the already clean. After that, I cleaned the back. This part is quite easy as there are almost no items here. There's just my dirty clothes and the stove.

Honey, it looks like the stove is time to be thrown out. I'll try it after I clean up. If it does not work, the time for this stove to stop to spend space in my place. Two hours of struggle, finally the rented room was finished I cleaned. All the mud and scabs in the room were clean. The floor is also mop. This is the first time I mopped my boarding floor.

I gave a wet carpet to the laundry. In addition to the carpet, I also put clothes that did not survive the flood to be washed by them. Because I want a full rest tomorrow after cleaning my room.

"It's you, just wear it first."

"Well, who's really Mom? Thanks, I borrow it first."

Mom lends you a carpet to sleep on. Fortunately my mattress is a mattress of wind, so even though it is wet exposed to water. The water will not seep into the mattress and the mattress can still be used. But unfortunately, the carpet in the room did not survive. Though this carpet is very useful for me to do activities while in the middle room. Fortunately there was a carpet given by the boarding mother, so tonight I still have a carpet so that my skin does not need to feel the coldness of the floor.

After putting the carpet on, I foraged outside and ate outside as well. Because all the cutlery I haven't washed. All the food stocks like rice, noodles, and cornets I cleaned. Worried there are germs or bacteria in it. To find it safe, I threw away all the food I had.

"Miss Ma'am, eat here one."

"Who are you, how are you? Safe from flooding?"

"Alhamdulillah wet all ma'am, hahaha."

I am currently at a restaurant in the desert. I often buy food here. Usually the purchase is wrapped, but because this time I have not had time to wash the utensils. This time I had to eat on the spot. The waiter at this place was pretty good. No need to wait a long time until the food comes to the table.Because it is only to take the finished food, there is no need to cook first.

“This is the meal, enjoy!”

“Thank you. bismilbornrahmanirrahim”

After the food came, I washed my hands and prayed first. The taste of this food is very delicious, especially after tired of cleaning the room earlier. I felt a few percent of the energy in my body return after I finished eating. After dinner, I went back to the contract and updated the latest news to my mother and other siblings.

"Thank God your good news, son. Damaged goods can be searched again. What matters is that you are healthy and okay"

"Yes, thank you. Yes, yes, I want to sleep first. The body is tired"

I informed my mother of the current situation. Starting from whatever items are damaged. Activities during the new year, to the current condition of my room. At a glance, my room is now facing a minimalist style, because many items have been discarded due to flooding.

After greeting my mother, I turned off the phone. Making sure that nothing was left behind, I got ready for bed. Closing my eyes, I imagined what had happened all day.

Stuck in Jakarta due to heavy rain, new year parties, and rent exposed to flood. There are so many things I've been through for one night. But if you remember, it seems like all this happened because Zul came late to the gathering place.

If only he had come on schedule and I had come home as planned, there would be no way I would have suffered a loss like this. Anger began to grow inside me and was about to hit the person if he was in front of me.

'enough Ray, patience, can't blame someone like that. You have to fix yourself. It's more important than blaming others!' it's easy to blame someone else when something happens. But it's better if we direct everything to us. To become a better person and have a growing mindset.

For example, just try I can be faster to decide to go home, just try not to agree to stay at a friend's place. Or I could just drop the keys to the rented mother. There are so many things I can do to avoid this.

But the rice has become porridge. I'm sure the plan above is better than all plans. One day, who knows, there will be wisdom I get from this incident.
