The same effect also applies to one of the Soldier's village friends, namely Narmo, for education matters should not be asked, because confused to explain anything about this one man.


Where since the beginning he only graduated from Elementary School, it was graduated because the teacher was lazy to see Narmo who repeated twice in sixth grade. But we don't judge a book by its cover, it would be appropriate if it wasn't Narmo.


Like a book without a cover, Narmo outside and inside is almost the same, he is always honest no matter what happens, acting according to instinct. Or more like his natural instincts as a human being.


Soldiers really understand, because he has known Narmo since childhood, so to be sure, people like Narmo if he was approached by police when carrying a motorcycle on the road, he will not seek excuses for his mistakes.


Although everything is complete from the rearview mirror, lights, engine, teahot, tires, spentil caps, even the motor is there, all do not escape complete inspection.


So did Narmo use a large SNI-branded helmet in front of the glass, but when the police came, then he was the one who apologized first, and pleaded guilty even though nothing was wrong.


"I'm sorry sir, maybe it's because my bike is blind and inappropriate on this street, so I'm sorry dear police sir ."


The policeman would prefer to let go of Narmo because he felt sorry to see the face of the hick guy like he was on the verge of a great calamity in life.


The reason, courtesy narmo because he so admires the figure with the rank hanging around the police pack shirt.


But do not expect narmo will be as polite if the memberhentika is a village security guard, Narmo can rampage because it was only because Narmo vehicle forgot to turn on the city lights.


"Well, our man is in the village sir, I don't have city lights so don't bother the esteemed security guard ."


That's how people like Narmo live.


And now....


After Narmo at PHK from his job as a seller of shatterproof plate company, Narmo was not so dizzy for the first three days.


Because it is used to being unemployed in the village, so there is no difference in Narmo's life when he becomes unemployed again. Moreover, there is still a little leftover last salary is still enough to eat three meals a day for one week with rice Padang side dish rendang.


Indeed like that typical character from Narmo, he is still relaxed and complacent in his free time after working like a horse selling dishes that he considers a vacation.


But after the end of the third day, then the end of the relaxed period when Narmo saw the contents of his wallet with the remaining fifty thousand money, along with ID card and SIM A (permission to keep Chicken ).


The harsh reality makes Narmo head over heels to find a way out in his problems. Even if he could, any object attached to his body would be pawned.


The type of person like Narmo is a person whose brain runs smoothly when the situation is squeezed, slanting, back and forth and back again repeatedly, it made him think harder and more often it gave Narmo a crazy idea.


Like the whispers of the devil who instigated Narmo to steal chickens or even commit heinous acts against neighboring chickens, but Askar can be sure, Narmo will not do such a thing.


As a young man who obeys the rules and all the commands of the mother, Narmo will throw away the vile thoughts that are in his mind.


While thinking of a way to find Narmo a job, briefly see a green flag with crossed sickles and hoes and a rice field hat right on the Kopaja bus.


Soldiers themselves like to see the pirate flag in a carebean film, just that different is no longer the background of the story, because there is no story of a pirate flag flying on a copaja car, but what was strange was the motto written beneath it,


No matter how bad the problem is about the economy of the country, it is not a problem. For the poor nomads who think about what to eat tomorrow, it has become a problem .


It was written clearly like a disappointment full of struggle, felt awesome in the view of the flag on the kopaja, it was like a pirate but unfortunately this is in the terminal is not the sea.


More like a road driver carrying the aspirations of the people who are angry because the government's problems about the economy have never once solved the problem of poverty in this country.


Of course with curiosity Askar tried to ask the driver of the owner of an old iron-plated vehicle carrying the flag of public aspiration.


He is a middle-aged man who does not look so old, but as it looks how much the man has experienced hundreds of times the suffering of the city of Jakarta, all are clearly drawn on the wrinkle line of his forehead. Except the red line on his back it was a scrap .


The line of struggle on the old face is rough but tough, strong but so soft, he is a man who does not change even a dozen years of life in Jakarta, but does not forget the origin of himself.


As a Javanese nomad from the land of the hick-eyed village, laughing released all fatigue by talking about him.


He was Warju bin Suherman who turned out to be Javanese nomads one village with Soldiers, but because of different generations, Soldiers did not know this middle-aged man in the least.


"Yes tong, kowe his son Mr. Sopian anyway, subhanallah, pangling me keg, it turns out kowe was already big, when in the past, I was small, you were not born." He was full of disbelief.


"You know my father?, but why don't I know him ?." Soldier Reply.


"Who doesn't know him, the gentile father often helps my family, tong."


It felt great when the father who was nothing more than a building porters, was now like the hero of the savior of mankind.


"Is your father healthy ?."


"Before leaving for Jakarta is healthy sir" replied Askar.


A smiley face escaped from Warju...."Thank goodness then."


Little conversation was halted when work had to be carried out as a vehicle guard at this terminal.


Running there - and the one who saw him still laughed out loud to applaud, he was still not used to all this .


But unlike the father of Warju bin Suherman, he showed himself as a human being with respect to anyone who struggled to make a living, without shame even though it looks embarrassing.
