Afternoon. Ayu and Zahra who were enjoying dinner stopped for a moment because they heard the front door being knocked.
Surprised and felt Ayu. The door that had just been opened by him displayed the figure of a thick-bodied boarding house named Bu Rosa.
Ayu understood the arrival of people in front of her who did not alone bring along two confidant men with breastplates to look at her. "Do you know of my arrival here?"
Ayu nodded. "Mom please give me another grace period. I promise once my salary comes out, I will pay immediately," he said trying to ask for understanding.
Rosa snorted, unfolding her hands, turning her waist-random position to look at Ayu with a cynical look. "I've heard thousands of excuses from residents of costs and rent that can not afford to pay. The reason is the same as you said. And how many times have I rebuked you? Three times. Not enough yet!" emphatically.
"But yesterday was hit by a disaster, ma'am. So I beg you to understand again" said Ayu who tried to beg.
"Look off the leg from here!" rosa's strict orders the owner of the boarding house. "Before I change my mind and forcefully remove your belongings from within" he added.
Glancing at the two people behind Rosa, Ayu felt faint. A large, stocky body with a thug-like look. The tattoo is flat on the arm, similar to the people Ayu had met in the past when her house was confiscated.
"Then where will I stay. It's almost night. Please give me time to find a new place to live."
Screeched. Rosa then laughed mockingly. "That's none of my business. Here you are late not paying. Quickly clean your stuff. I'll give you an hour!"
"There are also items here Vina Ma'am. It can't be that fast."
"You guys, get all the stuff out inside. There's too much nonsense talking to this boy" Rosa told two of her confidants.
Ayu immediately prepared to head off. "Let me alone come out my belongings," said Ayu quickly.
Ayu turned around to enter her room. From the inside he still heard the order, only an hour he had a chance to pack up the goods, and the rest would be Rosa's and confidant's business.
Lucky this afternoon Ayu had tidied up the items in her boarding room. So now Ayu just put it in a tote bag and if there are no need and belongings Vina he left.
Zahra the boy seemed to understand what his brother was doing. As he approaches and Ayu tries to explain that they are going to move. Then asked Zahra to put the textbooks in her backpack.
It wasn't until an hour Ayu got out of the boarding room. Some of the other residents of the cost pay attention to what Ayu is experiencing. And such a sight was as usual for them.
Ayu used to be helped with Vina's help. Vina often covers the cost of their residence and sometimes even refuses if Ayu gives half of the monthly allowance of the boarding place.
In Jakarta, there is no doubt about the economic level and high cost of living. Although already trying as closely as possible, Ayu was still in the fog when it arrived at the end of the month.
Before leaving Ayu glanced in the direction next to where she lived. There's one he knows, Bang Fahmi's cousin Rico. But it feels Ayu can not ask for help again to him, because Ayu has been a lot of trouble him.
With the money left and taking into account where Ayu can while staying, he decided to look for an online taxi.
Not until Ayu opened the fence padlock, he was surprised by a security officer who reprimanded him.
"Who are you looking for?"
Sontak Ayu turned her body. Trying to smile kindly. The person in front of him was the one he often met at the front guard, near the entrance bar of this complex.
"Oh Ma'am," said the security guard who stood in front of Ayu who little recognize. "There's a vested interest in what you're here for. It just so happened that Mr. Akram the owner of this house came out and left this house guard to me," he explained.
Ayu is confused to answer what is the reason honestly she wants to hitchhike while staying. With doubt Ayu said, "Indeed Mr Akram already occupies this place Sir?"
"Yet. Only occasionally come check the place. But it looks like it will be lived, because the renovation of his house seems to have been completed from a few days ago."
Ayu nodded. "Then, when will Sir, Mr Akram be back?"
"If that I do not know Mbak because Mr. Akram here is not necessarily. Try to just call Pak Akram's number."
Ayu shakes. "I didn't keep the number, sir."
Glancing at Ayu's luggage and also thinking that the girl did not come alone, the security guard took the initiative to call Akram. Because indeed he keeps the number of the owner of this house which is notoriously friendly among other residents. Even when Akram first bought this house, the security officers were around.
"I try to help contact Mr. Akram first," said the security guard reached into his phone from inside his pants pocket.
Ayu waits anxiously as the person standing not far from her is talking by phone, informing her of Ayu's situation and condition. Before long the security guard approached him. "Said Mr. Akram, Ma'am told to wait a minute."
Nodding. "Thank you sir."
"Yes it's nothing Ma'am. Or you can just wait at the post office, there is a seat. Poor little brother squatted there a long time."
Ayu shakes. "Thank you Sir. We're just here."
Nodding to say thank you Ayu, the security guard said, "Well then, I went back to the post. If anything can find me there."
Ayu nodded in agreement and after that the security officer left to continue his duties.
Over twenty minutes Ayu waited. His feet were tingling because they supported Zahra's sleepy body, not to mention the mosquitoes that bit her. But he braced himself to persevere, convincing in his heart that the person he was waiting for would arrive.
And right, before long the light from the end of the road increasingly visible light approaching. The bright light increasingly burst through his retina. By narrowing his eyes and trying to sharpen his vision, Ayu slowly rose from her crouching position while still supporting Zahra's body.
Ayu's forehead frowned. Acram? he's not sure. And when the owner of the car in front of him opened the car door to go down, Ayu's lips moved to say the name, "Sir Kevin?"
