A day, two days to a week of work, Myria felt unfamiliar. Several times he almost spilled hot sauce. However, the caterer who had been trusted by Erika's mother was quick to respond. The woman immediately moved Myria to the easier part.
The 18-year-old girl has now moved into packaging and shipping. The first day of moving parts, all is well. Just a sense of tiredness that does not diminish in the least. It was only natural that Myria was working after school.
“Myria, tomorrow weekend. I heard your school is off, so I can be full time for work tomorrow.”
Myria nodded. It was indeed such a rule that he agreed with Erika's mother before entering work. He would work briefly from four in the afternoon until nine in the evening during the week days. However, by the time the weekend arrived, working hours had increased from nine in the morning to nine in the evening. Twelve hours Myria used to earn.
Salary is not as much as permanent employees in Erika's family-owned catering business, but still enough to live and save on school costs. Myria had to cut off her desire. He must accept life as it is without the help of anyone.
“Bu, I can definitely get through this life even though there are no brothers. I can be an only child now without any parents. Mom must have been very strong.”
Tiredness should be paid immediately with rest. Myria stepped towards the side of the highway in search of transportation. The streets began to be quiet because since the afternoon it rained. The workers actually provided mess to stay, but because it was still in school and needed a place to focus on learning, Myria still wanted to live in her own boarding house.
The originally cool air turned cold as if it was bone-piercing. Myria tightened the jacket with two hands tucked in the right and left pockets. School shoes that still wrapped his feet were also moist because they passed through the muddy streets.
As she reached the end of the alley and reached the side of the highway, Myria was shocked by a group of foreign men. Just this time he saw people with such a creepy look were there. As a woman, of course Myria was worried.
However, whatever the circumstances, there was no way Myria would turn back. He lowered his head in prayer as his feet continued to step in order to get past the group of foreign men.
“Chick.”
One sound captured by the ear is able to make a heartbeat. Myria pretended not to hear and accelerated. However, in fact, destiny is not always good. Four men with black sweatshirts and ripped jeans were compactly approaching.
“Eits, acquaintance first, dong,” One red-haired guy with two piercings in the left ear is blocking. Myria reflex stopped and gripped her jacket tightly. “We-we just saw a girl as sweet as elo through here. New resident, huh?” said the man with a scary smile and followed by the laughter of his friends.
“Kok, diem?” Another man replied and successfully made Myria more backward until it was difficult to leave.
“Still rain. How about if you shady first with us here. Guaranteed not to be cold because we can make lo anget.”
Myria was silent while shaking her head. Anyway, answer there will be a problem. He walked back a few steps, then slipped and ran to the left of the horde. His little legs besides having to be strong to support life, it turns out to be ready to avoid danger.
“Eits, where do you go!”
Myria's backpack is attracted to the hijab that is worn. He looked up and was in pain for the red-haired man. “Please, sister, take me off,” Myria said in a vibrating voice. As much as she could, she endured the fear and tried to speak well.
However, it was not the freedom that Myria had gained. In fact, the girl's voice made the four men smile. “Not only look lo sweet, lo sound also turned out.”
“Allet her body, Bro.” Another friend replied and again followed by laughter.
Myria continued to shake her head and tried to withdraw. He kicked one leg of the man who pulled his bag, then hit the other men with elbows. On release, he had to immediately run without looking at the direction.
The drizzle is getting faster with the night getting quieter. The clock keeps moving, while freight is hard to find. Myria confusion. The men who were bothering him were unwilling to give up and continued to chase. In fact, I'm getting tired with my breathing.
Prayer came out of Myria's mouth. At that time a motorbike stopped and the driver shouted, “Good, My!”
“Kasa.”
“Buruan!” Space screamed even louder. His two eyes were still cautiously looking back to know how close the pursuing men were still eyeing. “Myria!”
Myria hurriedly ran up by lifting the skirt. In fact, the uneven pavement of the road almost makes it fall. Meanwhile, Angkasa was still watching, then immediately reached out for Myria to easily ride the motor.
“Woi!” The screams of one of the bully men who had barely arrived, caused panic for Space. He immediately got ready to go. How not to panic? Although Space is also male, but one against four people is not something that can be underestimated.
“Handle, My,” Space said and immediately pull the gas lever. The motor darted in the rain and left the creepy place.
When the vehicle had gone several kilometers, Myria in the back sobbed. The girl's mind was immediately confused if bad things really happened to her. The man is always there when he needs to be. Whether intentionally or not, Myria deserves to be grateful and say thank you.
From the left rearview mirror, Angkasa continued to observe. The streetlight pendants could not clarify Myria's face. However, the boy knew that his classmate was crying. He was silent and waiting for calm.
“Lo sure don't want to marry me, My?” Space spoke after lowering Myria right in front of the boarding room. “Gue can anter lo anywhere and does not need to be kayak gini. It's too dangerous, Myria.”
Myria raised her face. His whole face was red from crying for too long. In fact, the girl was still as excited as the events that had just happened almost destroyed all the future of her life.
“Lo no longer need to work. School fees or all things, can be helped Papa same Mama. We are young, My. You should be able to focus on learning without thinking hard about life. I don't mean ngremehin lo or how, but I want to see you live a normal life like children our age.”
“Kasa ...”
“Don't tell me you're used to it.” Menukas. He seemed reluctant to hear the defense from Myria. “Adult-adult people in umuran we gini, I am sure in the bottom of your heart also want to live like other young people.”
Myria. He didn't answer anything. Different from previous days who often argue, his lips now seem to be sewn into the thread of fate.
“Follow me home now if you agree.” Space makes decisions. Still in the same spot as the rain-spot conditions began to disappear, he waited for an answer.
Like being chased and pressed for a situation, Myria was worried. His mind was dead-end and stopped in place.
“Trust me equally. I won't say anything even if we get married. I wait for you to be ready.”
As much as anything said in Space. Myria simply observed without retaliating. The girl's lips began to turn blue as it held back the cold. Not to mention, uniform conditions are no less concerning, all wet as well as Space.
“Change your shirt. I'll wait here.”
The Space bid was not answered at the time. Myria still lowered her head and crushed the tip of the hijab she was wearing. However, after that, he did what the guy in front of him said.
