A Man Who Can't Fall In Love Because He Was A Woman
CHAPTER 5 The World is called Jakarta


Lila is in the center of Jakarta, in the Bundaran HI area. Near the statue of Pancoran, metropolitan with thousands of activities. At that time so many people for the sake of people who came, gathered, went, and did their respective activities.


Such as jogging, trading, waiting for public transportation, and others. Lila noticed one after another, the characters of the residents who were here. From the start of clothes, there are neat tie, wear formal office clothes, in uniform school children, some wear clothes that are good at sight, some are not, some are working, some are idling, some are idling, sitting on the asphalt pavement on a cardboard deck, his hand reached out asking for a request.


This city is a little similar to Magonda, there is a large and tall building towering to the sky, but not as high as the building in Magonda, Magonda, the streets that look clean through Lila there is still garbage hiding. Food waste, plastic waste, bottle waste, and others. In Magonda there is nothing like this.


Here there are public transportation, such as angkot, taxi, online motorcycle taxi in the green uniform of pride, bus, busway, and many more. Humans here contact each other physically, some are selling merchandise, some are offering a ride, some are standing waiting for transportation on the side of the road, some are chatting while walking, some are talking, some are alone while listening to music.


Lila realized this city was a different version of Magonda, this picture is a little similar. But the creatures that are in it are different altogether, they do not do the things that humans do.


And it looks like Lila has officially become the people of Jakarta, arriving only.


"The hut!" The sound of hunger that had not yet eaten breakfast.


Lila's stomach for the first time felt the name hungry, when Lila saw there was a porridge cart and filled with buyers who were sitting in plastic chairs while eating a bowl of warm porridge.


Then it made Lila gulp, Lila could not carelessly sit there. And asking for a bowl of porridge to the amang of the seller, he also could not think of the food in his mind and appeared before him miraculously, for this was not Magonda.


This is Jakarta, where there is a price to pay. As they hitchhiked, and got to their destination. They have to pay, when they eat on the roadside they have to pay, they pay for every service they use and the food they eat.


They also pay for the items they buy, for example gas balloons bought for free by a mother to calm her crying child. What they spend, what they pay for, just a few sheets of paper are called.


Of money....


Paper is everything it turns out, everyone depends on the paper called money. Who made it so great, because it created an item that could organize everything, buy everything, and mean everything.


How did Lila get it, Lila began to think. And on the other side of the road he accidentally met someone who was a profession with him. A skinny, dry jamet guy, his hair funk color ijo, he carries a guitar. And he began to sing to everyone he met, he came to the one sitting and was silent.


Sing a song and pluck his guitar keys, after a few minutes he does that. He stretched out his hand and he got the money, it was easy to get it. Lila smiled okay, "Let's do it!"


Footsteps covered with boots that have been hollow. Lila started coming to everyone, though,


"Excuse me!"


"Listen to my adored woman, tonight I'll tell her" Lila began to sing.


Somehow his instincts like no stranger to this activity, he felt familiar with what he is doing now.


"Thank you!" Finally Lila managed to get the first dime in the morning.


It made him smile in gratitude, Then he started to increase his reach. He kept trying to bushy, full day, his spirit was not broken, even when sweat began to wet the body, he did not care anymore. For him he had to raise a lot of money, buy everything he needed, and immediately look for Salwa who was trapped in Lila's body.


For starters there may still be residual happiness, as Lila busks. He still gets some dime, and some good responses from the people he sings. When they refused to pay for the small entertainment services that Lila did, they continued to be polite.


But he also met some people whose character is very bad attitude, he began to get some insults, mockery, abuse, and so on.


One of them when he came to some young people who were hanging out,


"Beautiful is that? Mending's running around in the bar? You will get a lot of money easily. Than the loh must be tired capean ngamen in the streets rich gini,"


"I'm sorry what does yah mean?" Lila said instantly dismissing her singing.


"I mean, mending loh ngelonte!" The disrespectful man stood up and approached Lila.


His hand sassyly touched Lila's ass, "Loh don't know how? Do you want Abang Ajarin? But you have to give me a test"


"Brug!" He immediately let go of the dappled nose hand, he stared intently at the guy he pushed before leaving.


"He can be seductive if he knows I'm a man. Why he still wants to be so seduced and nyolek nyolek rich that, ish! It's chic!" He grumbled, everyone who heard his grunts while walking in a hurry.


After that, he went to the meatball. Lots of people visit buyers. At first he came to his brother who was busy peddling meatballs into a bowl lined in the tray of the cart.


"Excuse me!"


"Don't come again love, how can I forget. Though I know you're not for me,"


Hearing Lila's false voice. That then made the meatball brother rose blood, he immediately doused Lila with water in the bucket of the former laundry bowl.


"Oh!"


"Whisper! You don't see me making meatballs anymore. A minute ago there was a busker who came here, you didn't see!" The father pointed to the busker who was busking on the buyer's bench.


Stupidly Lila even came here, a place that had been filled by other buskers.


"Mom! They are still young. Beautiful, I can still do my job. Why should ngamen? rich people who have no job! Sana went to work. You slackers!" Beaver amang meatballs.


Lila lowered her head to pay her sorry respects with her head. And he immediately went from there, his condition was soaked and messy. His clothes in kotori many leftover vegetables used meatballs, unfortunately the fate of Lila.


"Whether this is called sadness, it doesn't taste good. Miserable and unhappy," Inner Lila spoke.


Her stomach was rumbling, which was enduring hunger while walking on the sidewalk. His head lowered, his shoulders shriveled in confidence. Deteriorated, he was hungry and thirsty. But the money he got was not enough to buy food and drink, why should he feel hunger and thirst if he could not afford food and drink?


Oh God! Why did you not create them like the humans of Magonda. Not needing anything and not feeling anything, living alone, individualism, and no matter who.


It's the best, and what they need. Because they do not need to be tired of trying for a bite of rice, if they live well live. No need to need anything, food, drink, sleep, it seems like it is just something they do not necessarily need.


Because there are still many people who are struggling to eat, looking for money, do not have a home to rest, better than they are struggling because they are unable to meet everything they need.


Better they are created, without the need for needs that they must meet. Poor thing! They're tired! Tired up! Dizziness! Confused! Be miserable! Tormented!


It is better that they are created to live alone, to live life alone, to need nothing, enough. There is no need like Magonda who can grant all wishes, just simply do not need anything and just live life. Is there a world like that? Maybe the people who live in it will not be miserable and will be happy forever of course.


Lila crosses paths with a Mall, or a defense and entertainment center.


"The magnificent building is called Magonda, here Magonda is just a mall name."


"Oh My God! If only they knew what Magonda really was. Surely they're embarrassed to use that name for the mall they manage." Lila groping.


In front of the mall, Lila saw the people behind the glass eating fried chicken, happy, laughing, laughing, his face was beaming while shopping for everything they wanted and of course they had to have enough money to buy the thing they wanted.


In Magonda, whatever you want is already available complete and free no need to pay, stay shy and appear something you want. But this Magonda may be, the things you want are there, but not everything is complete, and you have to pay for it with money.


But the Magonda Mall and Magonda that Lila once lived in, have one thing in common. That there is happiness, everyone who enters the mall must be happy.


Watching movies at the movies, eating with your girlfriend, shopping with your wife. Lila was watching him from here, and they were smiling, laughing, and at least they were happy for a while. Magonda is a place where everyone can be happy.


Lila wanted to go in there, and it seemed like it was free. But when comparing the look he has with those who go in there, the clothes are fashionable. Try Lila's check, her clothes are filthy and dirty.


And they don't carry ukuleles in their hands, they carry bags and they're branded and expensive. Who brought the ukelele, and put on a busker to get into the mall?


Can Lila auto be kicked out if you go there, her security must be auto nething and think if pangamen like Lila enter the mall to steal or do other indecent things.


Physical appearance included aspects of one's judgment, so well Lila felt insecure. And undo his intention to enter the mall. A suitable place for Lila is just a hot street not an AC building like Magonda mall.


"So Lila you should know yourself, here you are just commoners. And live like a commoner Jakarta is not a commoner Magonda can do anything okay?" Lila convinced herself to look glassy. Who he really is here.


Just one day left, Lila was already miserable and like living in Hell. It seems that Lila began to realize that Magonda was Heaven, and now she has been expelled from Heaven for sinning in love.
