Passed Together
#1
My name is: Randa, age 23. Today, Friday the 1st of June 2020 the hour in my hand shows the number 20.39 I was sitting in my dorm room, with a feeling that I don't know where..
After running out of 3 cigarettes, which I smoked while thinking, I finally decided to write this...
an incident I experienced today that weighed on my mind I don't know why, but for four and a half hours, it weighed so heavily on my mind that the chicken satay I had bought in front of my boarding hall, I ate with delusion, until I forgot whether it was good or not. But I was full, even though the crackers in the little plastic forgot to eat,because I'm not a writer, just an employee at one of the malls in the city where I'm now. I won't mention the name of the city,and I'm not going to mention something that might hurt someone else (given that some of the books I've read and the authors are doing the same thing) because I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow,the day after tomorrow and so on.including I do not know whether this will be able to you/you guys, read it or not.and I still do not know whether this story will be long or short, will be interesting or boring, will be boring,I don't know what it's gonna end up like..
Before I get sleepy, and before my laptop lawbatt, I'll tell you...
I'll start the story with me this morning, shake off my misfortune and go to my workplace in a hurry and not have time for breakfast.lately, a few days,I do often have bad luck because since my friend Beni (who always woke me up early) decided to go home after going to PHK, because of COVID-19 (no need to explain), some companies do this. I arrived at work at 07:23 which means, 7 minutes before I was considered late.Today, as usual customers who came only a few people, not as much as before Covid19 entered this country. So, I took my free time watching TV, after breakfast with donuts, which I bought at the pastry shop in front of the cafe where I worked. At 12:00 I said goodbye to my colleague Ryan,going out for a break, I'm going to have lunch at the yellow rice stall where I used to eat, and have coffee, during the break.
I like to hang out there, because besides being close, cheap, I can also owe, and smoke because of course, in the area where my work is prohibited from smoking.
"Siang Bang" I'm the one with the stall.
"Yes Ran noon" he replied.
"Bang Toto, I miss you"
"ah..miss the Beni? Hahaha.sit..!you..want to eat what?"
"It's a habit." I replied, because he must already know what I'm going to order.
"okay wait a moment ya." he said.and went inside to prepare my order.
"OK Bang".I answered while burning my cigarette, and sitting on that bench.The stall was quiet just me the customer this afternoon.
Before long, Bang Toto returned, and served me some food.
"where's Enal?" I asked bang Toto..
"pulkam already"(pulkam\=home village),
"owh.when's bang?"
"yesterday, I told you, now it's a lonely customer, and then if the corona is gone I call him here again"
"iyya bang Mall is also quiet tuh..."
"so Beni, don't you come back here?"ask Bang Toto.
"Do not know bang. He didn't say anything.."
"It's not that he misses Ran, but he's still in debt.hahaha" he said with a laugh.
"Well..hahaha.later I pay this Bang All the same"
"And now the 1st, yesterday I payday bang so much more money hahaha..."
After chatting2 with bang toto, and then leaving because there were customers coming, I immediately paid, and returned to work because the clock had pointed at 12:52 and eight minutes more, he said, I've got to work back..
When I got to work, I found Ryan waiting and ready to get out, and get some rest.
"my turn Bang." she said with a smile.
"OK, don't be late."
"ready to bang."
after Ryan left, there were two girls who came, and after they came out, none of the customers came until Ryan came back from his break.
At 16:00 it was raining, I was getting ready to go home because Riky and Selfy had already arrived, they were sip employees tonight. The mall closes at 11:00, so, at my workplace, the ones that come in the morning, Me and Beni, and the ones that go in the afternoon until evening, Riky and Selfy.
"Sir Ran, come back later, outside the rain" said Selfy to me, when he saw I was ready to go home.
"Yes, I'll wait at the front stop until it rains" I said.
I can actually wait at my work place but at the Front Stop I can Wait while smoking.lagian distance kostku with Mall only about 300 meters just cross the JPO and enter the hallway.
"i go first." I said to them.
"Ok be careful" replied Selfy.
"What is Pinger Shrimp??"ask Riky.
"It's over!" I answered with a little scream because I had run towards the Stop in front of the Mall.I arrived at the Stop, I immediately sat waiting for the rain that was getting heavier redah.kun lit my cigarette, and then,and I took my phone to play the game so as not to get tired of waiting.After a few minutes I sat there, from the direction of the JPO, I saw a girl running towards the Stop without an umbrella, I saw a girl,and carrying a sizable bag and I estimate it's quite heavy. He came and sat beside me.about²two meters away from my place. He didn't wear a mask (now everyone has to wear a mask), so I could see his face very clearly. She's so pretty, I have to say that, because she's so pretty. I don't know why, maybe because she's a little nervous, I took a cigarette and lit it with the fire from the cigarette I had lit when I reached this stop.when I looked at him and our eyes looked at each other, I smiled a little, but he didn't, and his face was very flat I don't know, maybe because of the coldness his lips were a little pale and I saw his hands shaking withstanding the cold. He opened the bag he was carrying and then took a jacket from the inside and put it on.
Scroll clock in my hand, showing the number 16.20.I was still fun playing the game, and the rain began to fall. I decided to go straight home to my boarding house. I glanced again at the girl and I saw her looking down and hiding her face between her knees raised up on the seat at the Stop with her arms crossed in front of her. and I heard an attack, which made me sure that she was crying.Why is she rebuking? I don't know either, and I don't think I have the right to ask that. So, I went straight home (still drizzling), and walking towards the JPO. from the top of the JPO I tried to look towards the Stop and I saw that girl was still there and still in the same style. I was wondering, why is she crying?. Ah.cuz..Everyone has their problems, including the woman.
When I arrived at the boarding house, I immediately put my body on the bed, still with my shoes, and a mind that was still curious about what I saw earlier.I tried to forget it, and rushed to the bathroom, and was still curious about what I saw,then I took a shower and changed my clothes.I checked the rice in the ricecooker and it's still there, enough for dinner tonight. I took my wallet in my work pants pocket, and came out of the boarding room, to buy something in front of the hall for the side dish tonight. When I was in front of the big road, I walked towards the workplace, which was under the JPO that I had just passed when I came home I looked in front of the Mall across the street, and I was very surprised because the girl who was there was still..and it made me even more curious.Was she waiting for someone? But he didn't seem to be waiting, why didn't he come home? And I saw his face looking forward with a blank look, with a very sad face. If I wasn't shy, maybe I'd been there and asked what really happened, but I didn't. After buying chicken satay there, I walked back to my hostel. I looked at the clock and it was 18:30 and the girl had been there since about 16:20 so, about 2 hours she sat there..I have to be honest, I'm very curious, not because I always care about others, even according to the people² around me, I'm a very ignorant person, and that's right. And maybe because of that, now I don't have a boyfriend.former me there is one and one²nya SMA time his name is Sita, he's my neighbor in the village. But we broke up two months after I was in town because he didn't want LDR, which is why, I rarely tell you. I'm sorry I shouldn't have told you that, but, that's me. so cute, and you have to believe it.
but why am I dizzy now and keep thinking about what I went through this afternoon? couldn't I just be so sick as usual and forget about it??
I'm pretty sure it all happened because the girl was so pretty I didn't overestimate²but, I think she's the prettiest woman I've ever seen in person, and if you're the one who's experienced it yourself, I think she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen, (i.e., if you're male and not in a mental disorder or perhaps a sexual disorder) meeting a beautiful girl with her circumstances, you'll definitely experience what I'm going through right now,filled with questions and curiosity is He okay? Is he sad? Of course. is he hungry? Might as well. Is he still there?. Hope not to be disturbed by thugs. Or has he gone home? Young hopefully. All these questions kept filling my head for that long and I kept thinking about it while eating, and you already know what I'm doing next and you can read from the beginning again if you want.
The last question is, has he gone home? I'll answer tomorrow because it's late, and the boarding gate is closed because it's 22.44 and tomorrow I have to work.so, I'll sleep, and I'll see you tomorrow.
