WSS 1 - Life Journey

"Please, don't confiscate your house." Please Raharjo to the bank officers who are sealing his house.

"Give us a chance, I'll definitely pay off all my debt." Raharjo continued to plead despite knowing his efforts would fail.

"Already Pih, no longer need to beg, we are bankrupt, Papih must be aware of it." Nia the wife tried to persuade her husband.

Raharjo goes bankrupt, he plays too much gambling so that all his assets are sold, remaining home, he pawns to the bank ends up being poor, as poor as he is.

That's how the world works, the wheels of life spin, sometimes below and above, depending on how we process it, if we continue to do good, be good, diligently save, save, normal life will continue to taste sweet, but if it is too foya-foya, live as he pleases, act as he pleases, then the bitter taste will be felt.

"We're looking for a contract." Nadin pulled the suitcase.

"Contract?" Nia is chasing her daughter.

"True, the contract, then where else will we stay? Do we have a destination? Do we have another house that's not confiscated?" ask Nadin.

Nadin is a very indifferent child, since childhood his attitude has always been ketus to everyone, when he sees new people he will definitely observe carefully, such as when meeting with his Papi business partner, Papinya, his eyes seemed to look for something in the person he saw, after that he would leave it, after his Papi guests left, he often commemorated his Papi, but unfortunately all was only considered nonsense.

Adults are sometimes selfish, they even find it difficult to pretend to accept the words of their children. Raharjo did that to Nadin, he ignored, did not find out, until finally he fell and began to gamble.

***

The sweet life that was supposed to go on, had been destroyed in an instant, what they had been defending was completely seized by the Bank.

"Where are we going, baby?" tanya Nia who continued to follow Nadin.

"Mommy and Papi just follow me, I know where the contract is, hopefully the contract is still empty." Nadin spoke while walking.

Nadin did not want his parents to sleep in the room, although he was annoyed with his Papi, but he was still quite normal thinking.

The three of them arrived at a house.

"We're gonna stay here?" asked Nia who saw the house quite large.

"Of course not, I can afford to pay this much" Nadin said.

"Want to?" ask Raharjo.

"This is the landlord's house, we'll ask him the price of the vacant rent that's right there." Show Nadin.

Both parents looked at the direction appointed by his daughter, how surprised he saw a small contract.

"Here?" ask her parents in unison.

Nadin nodded. "true."

"That small?" ask Raharjo.

"If Papi has money, we can find a bigger contract." Nadin seemed to know the contents of his papy bag.

Both of his parents shook their heads slowly while giving blank looks.

Nadin chuckled, he expected, his parents did not have enough money to sleep in a hotel or rent a house.

Not long after, a woman who already had enough gray hair in her hair came out and welcomed the arrival of the Nadin family.

"Please come in."

Nadin and his parents broke into the house of a woman who might be his grandmother's age if his grandmother was still alive.

"Sir, I'd like to contract in an empty contract."

"Oh, of course it can be neng, the price is also still cheap, six hundred thousand a month is not the same electricity, the electricity is using tokens so it can fill itself," explained the woman.

Nadin opened his bag and took out his wallet, he gave the agreed amount of money.

"Please be accepted and we'll fill it up tonight, can I borrow a broom and mop?" ask Nadin.

Since childhood Nadin is quite independent, he has been used to doing his own homework, especially cleaning his room, so it is not difficult for him to clean a contract that may be somewhat smaller than the size of his room.

"Come on Mih, Pih, we clean the house first, then we will rest." Take Nadin.

Both of his parents just keep following him wherever Nadin goes.

.

.

"Huh, so tired." Nadin sat on the carpet he was carrying.

"Where are we sleeping? There's no bed? Let alone AC," complaints began to come out of her mammoth lips.

"If Papi and Mami have a lot of money, can buy a mattress and AC, please buy."

Again Nadin seemed to insinuate both parents, certainly can not buy, to pay the contract they can not.

"Where do you have money from? How can I pay the contract?" ask Raharjo.

"My pocket money, I've never spent it, it's money I've always put aside, and it turns out to be useful in hard times like this." Nadin looks at the rented ceiling.

Raharjo knew very well his daughter again offended him, but Raharjo did not care, the insinuation did not apply.

Nadin heard the sound of traveling merchants passing in front of their contracts.

"Where are you going?" asked Nia by shouting.

Nadin paid no heed, he looked for the direction of the voice, and called out to him.

"Three bowls, Bang." Nadin's message to the roving chicken noodle pedangan.

His stomach was rumbling, he could no longer bear hunger.

"This is neng, what needs to be helped bring into the house?" ask the merchant is friendly.

"No need, let me bring it myself." Nadin held up a tray containing three bowls of chicken noodles.

Seeing their daughter carrying a bowl, the couple was so enthusiastic that, when they saw the contents, their appetite faded.

"Eat first, do not let us get sick, because illness is expensive, we can no longer afford to pay insurance dues at this time, so eat whatever can be eaten, and take care of health.

His parents were so in pairs, as if they were asking 'is this food edible? Is it worth eating?' that's roughly.

Beside the two parents who looked at each other, Nadin had already eaten his food first.

"Mih, Pih, let's eat it, it's sterile, it won't make your stomach hurt, I'm used to eating it."

The words of his son surprised them so much that they simultaneously looked at Nadin.

"I used to eat with my friends on campus, you often enjoy food from traveling merchants or street vendors."

Hearing Nadin's words, they quickly ate chicken noodles, their stomachs were also very rebellious.

Such is life, however we must remember and be introspective, we are not always at the top, not always struggling with property and should not underestimate the work of people, as what they are experiencing now, as they are, fancy meals did not mean they could not eat the food of the traveling merchants. Life should be Low Profile as what Nadin has been doing all this time.
