Trapped by Love The Dishwasher
Finding a Kost Place

On a hot day, the sun was directly overhead. Tiara continued walking on the sidewalk pulling her large suitcase.

It's been almost three hours that he's been combing the place. Settlement on the edge of a densely populated city, he continued to walk looking for boarding for his place to stay.

***

Two months ago...

The lecture was over, Tiara was tidying up her study equipment before leaving class.

His friends were waiting in front of the class.

Today is the weekend, Tiara intends to spend the night this week in a cafe with her friends.

He walked cheerfully, out of the classroom was greeted boisterously by his friends because the lover had suddenly stood gallantly in front of the class, his right hand carrying a flower that was directly handed to him.

Everyone cheered at the scene. Adrian is the most wanted in college, he always treats Tiara very sweetly.

They flock to the campus parking lot, Adrian swiftly opened the car door for Tiara. Tiara got into Adrian's car. While his friends also headed to their respective vehicles.

In the car, the car suddenly rang. Adrian who was about to drive his car stopped him again, allowing Tiara to take a call first.

"Mama", muttered Tiara.

"Thank you, I'll wait" Adrian said.

"Assalamu'alaikum, Ma" Tiara greeted her mother on the phone with a greeting.

"..."

"What?" tiara was shocked.

Adrian who was beside him was no less surprised. She continued to pay attention to Tiara and asked with her lip gesture 'what' but Tiara ignored her.

"Yes, Ma I understand. Mama strong yes, Insha Allah I am here will be strong. I quickly returned to Serang. Wa'alaikumsalam". Tiara hung up.

"What's wrong?" ask Adrian curious.

Tiara was silent, she was still digesting the information she had just received.

Hix......Tiara suddenly cried.

"What's up, Ra?" Adrian was getting panicked seeing Tiara like that.

"Mr, Ad. Papa's..." Tiara stammeredly saying "Papa I went to jail". Tiara's words were accompanied by increasingly becoming cries.

"What?" jakak Adrian shocked.

Since then, his relationship with Adrian has been unclear. Adrian always avoids Tiara, he does not even care about the fate that befell his lover.

***

Tiara's life changes 180°, after the father is convicted and must end up behind bars for being entangled in a corruption case. As an official involved in a government project he must also be responsible for the misappropriation of project funds. Because of the actions of irresponsible officials, finally accompanied his father also became a suspect.

The mother who had been just a housewife became the most shocked person to find this reality. He has to take over the task of the father to meet all the needs of his entire family, there are still two younger brothers Tiara who is still in school at the junior middle level.

While Tiara, the eldest who lives separately because he continues his education in the big city is no less badly affected.

The entire supply fee he no longer gets, the final level of tuition he takes is now on the edge.

Luxury in the middle of the city is no longer a dwelling now. Waiting three months and not being able to pay made him evicted from the place.

There was not a single item in the boarding he could carry, the cost owner asked him to leave the items in exchange for three months' rent.

The large suitcase he dragged out of the boarding house only contained his clothes and college books.

He reached for a sling bag that hung on his shoulder, opened his wallet and counted the rest of the money he had. There were only five pieces of red money in his wallet. With the provision of money he hopes to get costs for his shelter.

No matter how painful his life was right now, Tiara chose to stay in the big city. Abstinence to go home because they do not want to add to the burden of their beloved mother.

To meet daily needs, his mother now sells cakes by placing them in stalls. Various scorn from the surrounding community kept the Tiara family received.

The rich are suddenly poor because of corruption. The title of corrupt family is now attached to the Tiara family.

Tiara took pains to convince her mother that she would be able to survive in the big city and complete her education. With the hope that afterwards he will get a good job with a large salary in order to meet the needs of all family members. He promised to work while in college to meet his living needs and tuition costs. Tiara did not want to add to her mother's burden.

But the reality is that until now even let alone work, Tiara has not yet found a place to live.

Adzan dzuhur reverberated, seen from a distance looks a mosque. With a quick step Tiara walked dragging her suitcase towards the mosque.

Arriving at the mosque, Tiara immediately took ablution and also performed congregational prayers.

Remove the mucus and fold it and then put the mucus back in the suitcase. Tiara was about to move towards the exit of the mosque, but suddenly a grandmother who still seemed energetic approached her. He asks Tiara for her purpose as she is seen carrying a large suitcase.

"Assalamu'alaikum", said the grandmother.

"Wa'alaikumsalam", Tiara answered her greeting gently.

"Where are you going, son?" ask grandma.

"I'm looking for a boarding house, Grandma, hopefully in this area there are cheap and affordable costs by me" replied Tiara honestly.

The grandmother smiled kindly, again she continued her question.

"Where are you from?"

"I am from Serang Banten Nek, is continuing my studies in Bandung and is now looking for a boarding place''

"ooh.".", the grandmother was just O ria.

For a moment the grandmother pensively watched Tiara from top to bottom.

"You want to stay at Grandma's?" hail that grandma.

Tiara frowned in surprise and was happy to hear the grandmother's offer.

"I mean grandma, grandma rents kosan too?'' tanya Tiara was enthusiastic.

"No, just grandma living alone at home. Grandma's house is quite spacious, there are three rooms there. If you want you can occupy one of these rooms." the grandmother explained.

Tiara nodded happily, but then she came back looking glum.

"But Grandma, what is the cost of renting a room in the grandmother's house? sorry I asked first for fear that the cost would be unreachable by me" Tiara said with her head lowered while playing the tip of her hijab.

The grandmother smiled at Tiara's behavior, as if she understood Tiara's current state.

"Whose name are you, son?'' ask grandma

" My name is Pearl Nek, Full-length Pearl, Grandma can call me Tiara."

The grandmother seemed to have heard Tiara's reply.

"Sorry, whose name is grandma?" Tiara asked the name of the grandmother.

"Salimah's grandmother's name, you can call Mima's grandmother."

They keep exchanging information. Tiara explained her current situation, including her financial situation. Grandma now knows a lot about Tiara's condition. He no doubt invited Tiara to stay at his house.
