Pov Arfan
Two days after accompanying Karla, making a report about the mistreatment by her superior to the authorities. And Alhamdulillah that day also the authorities, arrested Karla's supervisor. and threw her into prison, and, while awaiting court proceedings.
I started to work, following in the footsteps of Saiful, who scavenged the sustenance of the garbage can. At first I felt disgusted, because it turned out in the trash can, not just plastic garbage.There are many other garbage, there are still many other garbage, even human excrement was lodged there, but after a few tries, I got used to it.
"This way, not full?" I asked while lifting the sanitary pad with a cilong. scrap iron paint roll sharpened the tip.
"Skew, fan! good for nyimeng." replied Saiful reply to my joke
"Seriously! I'm just, what's the practice?" I asked back.
"I'm! Take it to the beauty clinic! because according to some cave information, it can cure acne." explained Saiful with a smile maybe feel funny with my question.
"Times, anyway!" I asked while frowning.
"Exit dumped! You're a real slob, so people!" Gerrutu Saiful.
"This is a slob! cook the garbage that is thrown into public places.are they not ashamed, if there are people who imagine his." said I while throwing the object in the direction of the trash.
"The next time it's Omes, the time is just like that, you get to think there!"
I just smiled without replying to her words, I continued to help Saiful find, collect plastic bottles and used cardboard. While continuing to be interspersed with jokes and laugh so loosely.
At 10:00, finally the cart carried by Saiful, was filled with plastic waste and used cardboard.
"Alhamdulillah! quickly yes, if you collect them both like this." said Saiful while putting the last plastic bottle into his trash cart.
"Emang usually until what time, if until the cart is filled with full.
"Hour 12:00, if good at 11:00 is also full. But if it's bad, it can be until 01.00 or 02.00, I can just go home." explained Saiful
"Oh so!" while puffing his cheeks. "continue Now where are we going?" I asked back.
"Go home! want to do it again, later if not tired, finish praying zuhur and lunch.we gilong again!" saiful said as he walked towards the front of the cart, then he pulled the wagon to leave immediately.
"help push not full?"
"Push, come! if not push.later your salary, cut cave!"
"Much sadists! got a boss."
"Haha! later, if there is an incline, then you help push! if flat like this the cave can be alone." said Saiful terkehkeh.
Finally we both left the trash can, then walked to go home to Saiful's house. Maybe he wanted to save the trash this morning first. Then he will continue again after performing the prayer of the Zuhr.
"Sir Arfaaaaaaan! Brother Arfan!" Call a woman's voice from behind.
Saiful and I stopped, looked at each other, and then threw the gaze, towards the voice.A beautiful, short-haired girl came running over.
"Lu, you know that beautiful woman?" saipul asked while whispering. His eyes remained focused the same as the woman who was approaching.
I did not reply, only shaking my head, while continuing to stare at the woman who was getting closer towards the two of us.
"Sir Arfan! This is right, brother Arfan!" ask the woman to make sure after being in front of us.
"Yes, I'm Arfan, but I'm sorry Ma'am, or who is this mother?" I asked while narrowing my gaze, remembering the woman in front of me.
"It's Vina, Brother! my brother used to visit my cafe, when my brother was taking care of the work of making tourist attractions, which were in my area." explained the woman in front of me
"Vina! Vina!" I muttered as I continued to rotate my brain memory, recalling the past.
"Yes Vina! Time, Brother forgot?"
"I can't be wrong, I remember this brother Arfan. Although now her hair is a little long and dressed like this. I can't possibly be wrong, sis!" Bela Vina who does not want to lose.
"Sorry Mother! I still have a lot of business, I am sure Mbak wrong people, because the person Mbak mentioned earlier, is the person who is taking care of making tourist attractions. I'm sorry, I'll say it first, Assalamualaikum!" I said as I pushed the wagon, coding Saiful so that we both quickly leave this place.
"Wait brother! wait up!" vina stopped the wagon.
"They! solve your problems first! let you work quietly." said Saiful mediate, Maybe he felt sorry for the woman's struggle.
"What to finish, Ful? I don't know this woman." My answer that does not want to be prolonged to discuss the problems that I am facing. Because the longer I chat with Vina the bigger my background will be exposed.
"Yes already! you just explain first, Who knows this woman is pregnant and looking for the father of the child in the womb. You must not run away from problems! I wait at home." said Saipul as he pulled his wagon, then he left regardless of me again.
"You have a good time, ful! leave me here alone."
"That's a girl, Bro! beautiful anyway.if all kinds of you can be decked with your body. He must be quiet." said Saiful without turning his face, he kept walking away from me.
"Sorry Mother! I think you're really wrong people."
"Hiks! Hicks! Hicks!"
Suddenly the woman was crying, bowing down, making me feel uncomfortable and afraid of being suspected badly by passers-by.
"Why are you crying? I'm not doing anything about you!" I said, not knowing what to do.
"My Cafe business was closed. Because the hotel was used as a place of prostitution, now the person I admired all this time, even though only once met.he pretended not to recognize me." Said the woman while choking, Like a person who is feeling so deep concern.
"Already! don't cry yeah! I now remember that you were the woman who had a cafe business at the hotel where I used to stay, when I handled the project of making a tourist spot." I pacified Vina.
"Why did you pretend you didn't recognize me." asked Vina as she looked at me, her eyes making her look sweet.
"I'm ashamed, I'm now broke Vin." I said honestly.
"Why should I be ashamed, I never look at the status of people, sis." explained Vina.
"Yes already! we look for a shade, so we can chat quietly." take me while walking first, looking for a lush tree, a tree lined up neatly beside the road.then followed by Vina, the, we sit side by side in a flower pot, which is made of potting.
"Don't come near! your clothes will get dirty." I asked Vina while shifting my seat, to get a little away from Vina.
"It's okay! If I'm being honest, I'm broke now too, brother!" vina said while bowed down, her eyes condensing, showing deep sadness.
"Why? Then why is Vina here now?" I started asking.
"Now I work as a domestic assistant, in one of the houses, in this complex. Coincidentally earlier, when I was about to take out the trash, I saw Big Brother. Although I was hesitant at first, because I could only see big brother from behind. But I'm sure, it's a big brother. And sure enough I'm not the wrong person." explained Vina.
"Patiently yes! maybe now we are at the lowest point, but I am sure one day we can rise again, can build our business empire. indeed Sometimes life has to go down first, but sometimes life has to come down first, to be grateful when we are on top. Like the wheel of life that will continue to spin, following the pattern set by the creator." I gave motivation.
"Amen! I hope so. Oh yeah, where do you live now?" vina asked, her beautiful eyes staring at both of my eyeballs.
"I live in one of the villages, near here" I answered honestly.
"Sometimes, I can't go to my sister's house. Later take me for a walk around this city, I want to know the life of the metropolitan city. But later on, if I have a payday.and my employer allows me to take a vacation." said Vina while breathing heavily.
"Yes, God willing, Yes! now you go back to your workplace! later sought by your employer." I give advice.
"Yes Brother! thank you, next time don't pretend not to know."
"I'm sorry, I completely forgot."
Finally Vina got up from her seat, then she walked up to one of the houses in the compound, Waving her hands, and entered the gate.
