Cring... Cring...
The sound of a bicycle bell I was driving towards a bookstore at the end of the alley, at a crossroad near the highway. Where I work.
My name is Princess Naira, I was 20 years old a few months ago. And now, on this sunny morning among everyone else in the morning, I was paddling my bike to my favorite workplace.
"For Nai!" greet the cactus after I get to my workplace.
Seriously, his name is Cactus. He's about 22 years older than me. Mini's brother, my coworker at the bookstore.
I parked my bike in a normal place. I don't need to lock it, 'cause who wants to take my really flashy bike. I deliberately decorate it like I would join the seven-dozen parade. I'm sure no one's so confident driving her besides me.
"For Brother Tus!" my greeting.
"Well, uh, breakfast balloons? we're mojok yuk at the front fried banana mamang!" take her while pointing to the fried banana booth opposite the bookstore.
"It's still morning Brother, ngajakin mojok aja. Aren't you ashamed of the mop?" I said as I glanced at the mop in the corner of the bookstore.
He even chuckles.
"Udah almost a year this brother try ngajakin you date, never succeeded! what kind of guy do you want to be your girlfriend? Mini also said, he said Si Haris tuh your work want to deketin you are also difficult!" he asked me with a curious face.
I laughed at hearing that question.
"Oh tickle the horror, how do I feel this way huh? actually not grandiose, Nai just want to have a guy with two eyes, two ears...!
"His hands are two, his feet are two!" connect the new Mini out of the store.
"Oh, all the guys are Nai's times too! you saw my brother who was this ngenes. Two eyes, two ears, eleven fingers even!" exclaim Mini annoyed like her.
"Did, what!" protest Brother Cactus whose fingers there are only ten.
"Udah sono go home Kak, why the heck disturbin Naira continues? I'm his own brother never bothered?" ask Mini.
I chuckled at Mini's words.
"Stress dong brother if disturbing adek alone. I want to go home, help Abah make bricks. If you go home, call your sister, then you will pick up!" exclaim Cactus brother while looking towards Mini.
A second later he looked at me.
"My aunt candidate, brother went home first huh. You be careful ker...!"
Plaques
Not too late, the brother Cactus talking, has hunted in the same clap of his hand Mini.
"The hunt back home, prospective makmum. prospective makmum, Mini says Abah yes, told to najai aja ka..emmpt!"
Mini protest, and before she can finish her sentence. Brother Cactus silenced his mouth. Maybe because I didn't want Mini to say something I couldn't hear.
Brother Cactus came home, me and Mini went into the store. It is still at 7 am and the store is actually not open yet, because this Ko Acong store is open at 8 am.
Me and Mini were still sweeping and mopping the floor when Haris came.
"Good morning my concubines!" greet Haris while putting her bag in our locker near the cashier's desk.
Haris immediately carried out his task of checking the copy machine and also turned on all the computers that were in the rental here.
I only snorted with laughter, but Mini hugged the handle of her broom while looking at Haris who was busy with her work. I know Mini likes Haris, but she never talks about her feelings. Although he was honest with me, but he forbade me from telling Haris. I have great respect for his decision, so I don't interfere anymore even though I want to help him.
"Good morning!" answer us three and gather.
We all prayed together, as usual every morning ko Acong will lead the prayer, but in accordance with our respective beliefs.
"Pray start!" exclaimed Ko Acong and the four of us lowered our heads.
A few minutes later.
"Done, may today God give Riski and blessings for us and this bookstore. Amen!" he said, then rubbed his face with both hands.
"Amen!" say the three of us, me, Mini and also Haris and then do what ko Acong do. We rubbed our faces with our palms.
We continued to work, not feeling the hour after hour passed. It was a busy day, and it was time for lunch. But the shop customers are still very crowded.
"Well, there's not much lunch that's still computer rental!" lamented Haris.
"I'm not busy, I bought lunch for us. What are you going to eat?" ask Haris and Mini.
"Sheep anyone with double rice!" haris answered and took the money out of his pants pocket.
"Now!" he added while handing me a piece of twenty thousand. I grabbed it and switched to Mini.
"If you're a Mini?" ask me.
"Same on, but it's a month's worth!" mini replied timidly as she glanced at Haris.
"Wokeh, I'm leaving!" I exclaimed after Mini handed me a piece of twenty thousand bills as well.
I got out of the bookstore, walked up to my cute bike and pedaled it to the booty chicken booth not far from the bookstore. Arriving at the booth, the waiter there who already knew me immediately asked my order.
"Obviously Nai?" tanya Indah is one of the employees there who is also my neighbor.
I quickly nodded my head.
"Yes, here!" answer me while paying.
I sat for a while waiting for my order to be made, from here I could look outwards. And there was a scene that so focused me in that direction. There was a woman in a red dress, very minimal chasing a man who had just kept clasping his hands and trying to stay away from him.
I shove my shoulders looking at her, I just feel that as a woman it is not necessary to chase after a man.
"This is Nai, what about the bookstore? Rame?" tanya Indah while putting my order on the table.
"Alhamdulillah Ndah, how is it here?" ask me to mince words when I see from earlier visitors come and go.
"Alhamdulillah too!" the answer.
After that I came out of the chicken booth to my bike. It turns out that because it is very crowded, other visitors park it close together. I had a little trouble getting my bike out.
Brakkk
"Geez!" I screamed when I managed to get my bike out but a big motorcycle fell and hit a fancy car parked next to it.
I left my bike and looked towards the luxury car.
"Well, to a severe scratch! how about that!" I panicked and closed my mouth.
Seriate...
