"Why do you see me like I see a ghost?" tanya Agam saw the pretty eyes in front of her widened and sharp.
"Why are you here?" ask Cassandra.
"Hey! You're not grateful I want to live with you. Though I have never lived a hard life let alone having to pair with a poor woman like you," replied Agam furiously.
Cassandra laughed at Agam's anger.
"You're laughing at me?" ask Agam.
"Yes" replied Cassandra.
"Why?" ask Agam.
"Because you're poor you're still arrogant" Cassandra replied.
I thought about Cassandra's words.
"Listen to me! wherever I go, I will be honored unlike you" said Agam.
Cassandra twists her lazy eyeball. He kept walking forward.
"Where are you going?" ask Agam.
"Go home" replied Cassandra. He had to pick up the clothes and things he had.
"Your ugly house?" ask Agam.
"Yes, why?" ask Cassandra back.
"Nothing is a better house than that? Does your family not work so you can live more comfortably?" ask Agam.
Cassandra smiled. He knew Agam had never lived a hard life. He had no idea how difficult it was to earn money for such a poor person.
"Agam, my father and I work day and night. But it is Allah's fortune that governs his small size for His servant" Cassandra said.
Silently listen to.
"We cannot control our own fortune. If it can be sure everyone asks for the most fortune. Then who will work if everyone becomes rich?" added Cassandra.
Agam. Imagine that everyone is rich. Of course no one wants to be a driver, housekeeper, OB, restaurant waiter, garbage man, security and so on.
"There are poor people in this world to balance life. The rich need the poor to help him do all his work while the poor need the rich to provide for his needs. Balance?" Cassandra. He tried to explain it easily.
Agam. That's exactly what Cassandra said. The rich cannot live without the poor, the poor cannot live without the rich.
"Then I need you as a poor lady" said Agam.
Cassandra smiled faintly.
Kruucuk .. kruucuk .. kruucuk ...
There was the sound of Agam's stomach calling.
"That's your stomach?" ask Cassandra.
"No, maybe the sound of the wind" answered the prestige Agam.
"Wine there first?" cassandra asked while pointing across.
Agam turned his head in the direction Cassandra was pointing.
"Eating on the side of the road?" ask Agam. He was stunned to see that slum.
"Yes, there's rice. Suitable for breakfast," replied Cassandra.
"Hey, my stomach is the sultan. Where can eat cheap food," said Agam.
Cassandra is arguing. Agam will boast of himself continuously. He pulled the hands of the handsome man. Crossed with him.
"I used to eat bread with special jam and a glass of milk. Meal time on the road. Rice again!" mooing all the way.
Cassandra did not want to hear her husband's complaints. He approached the rice-man and sat down with Agam.
"Be quiet here, dear Lord Agam! I'll order you breakfast. I don't want you to starve to the point of fainting" Cassandra said.
"I won't eat rice. What food try? I usually eat in an exclusive place. At least in the restaurant," complained Agam continued to nag.
Cassandra let out her furious breath. Not wanting to make Agam's words. He ordered two dishes of nasi uduk complete with egg balado and jengkol. Then bring two plates to the table where Agam is sitting.
"It's what the fuck? I don't eat this much carbohydrate" said Agam.
"Eat it! The important thing is not stomach ulcers and other severe diseases" said Cassandra. He sat next to Agam.
"Okay, I eat both if you don't want to" Cassandra replied. He picked up a spoon and started eating rice.
Agam. He should eat rice sitting on the side of the road. Better to be hungry. He watched as Cassandra ate. The hijab-wearing woman ate voraciously without complaining of taste or discomfort. He even finished the meal without any leftovers.
"The food is not necessarily good. But you spent it" said Agam.
"Eating is not about good or not. But being grateful is better" Cassandra replied.
"Thankful?" sahut Agam's.
"Yes, the venerable Mr. Agam knows that many people have difficulty finding money even many people are starving. Some of them died and some were willing to justify all means to be able to eat a mouthful of rice," replied Cassandra.
Agam. He heard from the hijab woman.
"Esteemed Master Agam won't eat his rice?" ask Cassandra.
"No, I cannot eat cheaply" replied Agam.
Cassandra twists her lazy eyeball.
"Cassandra!" call a hijab woman. This is Safira Tania. Cassandra's friend at school.
Cassandra turned her head towards Sapphira who was standing not far from her.
"Safira!" cassandra Sahut. He got up and approached her. They were chatting on the edge of the rice-staff.
"Oh, my stomach is hungry" said Agam. At home where he was hungry. Everything is there and available in full. Sometimes glam rarely has breakfast at home preferring in a cafe or restaurant.
Agam watched the rice sitting in front of him. Fragrant bay leaves, lemongrass, and turmeric. Added coconut milk that makes the nasi uduk it looks sparkling. side dishes such as orek tempe, fried noodles, potato balado and egg balado decorate the top. Makes the rice look more tempting.
"Eat me! After this," said nasi uuduk.
"Sexy again satisfy me Mas," added nasi ubuk.
"Damn it! Why is this rice suture more flirtatious than my wife?" gumam Agam noticed the rice sitting in front of him.
Meanwhile, Cassandra chatted with Sapphira. They were talking about a forced marriage between Agam and Cassandra.
"So the news is true?" ask Safira.
"Yes" replied Cassandra.
"Including you and Agam in the car ..." Safira was not good at saying it.
"Me and Agam were in the car but we didn't do anything Safira" Cassandra said. He knew the news of the raids and forced marriage in the community hall must have spread everywhere.
"I trust you Cassandra, this must be slander. Patience huh?" said Safira while patting Cassandra's arm slowly.
Cassandra nodded. Eyes glazed.
"May Allah give you the best for Cassandra" Safira added.
"Amin" said Cassandra.
"How are your wedding plans with Fahri?" ask Safira.
"I don't know. I am now Agam's wife. I've done everything" replied Cassandra. He lowered his head. Her tears fell on her cheeks.
Sapphira holds Cassandra's hand. He wiped away the tears of his best friend.
"God loves you by giving you this test. Hope you get through it well. God willing, happiness awaits you" said Safira.
"Amin, thank you Safira" said Cassandra.
Safira.
They both hugged as friends. Safira Cassandra's best friend. He knew a lot about the hijab woman. They went to school together from Junior High to college and worked at the same school.
"If so I go home first, assalamu'alaikum" Safira said.
"Wa'alaikumsallam" said Cassandra.
Safira smiles. Then leave that place.
Cassandra again approached Agam who was eating the last rice.
"Honored Master Agam did you eat three plates?" ask Cassandra.
Agam surprised. He turned to Cassandra. His face seemed confused as to what to answer. He had already finished three dishes.
