VIRGIN SYSTEM
The Bitter Story of Kalina
"Both of my parents are dead, Fi."
a shocked face was again seen on Rafi. He stared fixedly at the woman who was smiling responsibly and looking for lies from his eyeballs. But unfortunately Rafi did not find the lie in Kalina's black eyes. Even the woman did not turn the slightest away from Rafi's eyes which showed that she was not lying.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean ..."
"What's wrong, I know."
The two threw smiles at each other and turned their eyes to the other direction. Meanwhile, the rain seems to be back heavy because the rain stubs are getting longer and longer. Rafi also turned her eyes to the cellphone and she was confused about what more to open the chat so that the atmosphere was not awkward like this time.
"Both of my parents died when this country went through a pandemic, and they were victims. From then on my life changed," Rafi was stunned to hear Kalina's story. He then turned his head back and looked at the woman who one of his hands was looking up under the drops of water huja.
"Why can it change?"
Kalina turned her head and smiled faintly, then she faced Rafi. Kalina told me that since her parents died, she has been living with her uncle and aunt. Kalina thought they were kind and sincere people, but as time went on, the kindness of Kalina's uncle and aunt was only in the beginning. As time went on, they showed their true faces. They do not like Kalina who lives with them. Though the house they occupied belonged to Kalina's parents, but they arbitrarily controlled the house.
Even more painful, the land letter of the house was pawned to a loan shark. Because the uncle could not redeem the land letter, the old loan shark with two wives asked the uncle to marry Kalina to the loan shark. That was the reason that Kalina escaped to the capital.
"God! That seriously happened to you?" rafi asked with an endless face of surprise.
"Well, continues? Do you think this is a soap opera?" sulk Kalina.
"Hahaha. There are still people like that. Can't pay the debt uh the nephew's assurances."
"Well, that's how. I also did the astonishment. Uncle and aunt's lives are always lacking. They're too greedy. They also have a girl. I have a house even I will be sold. huh mending I run away right? Good thing I kept my mom's gift necklace well. I sold the necklace pawn for the fare to escape to the city."
"Yes, hopefully, even if I doubt it too."
"Yes, don't hesitate. Optimistic only. Who knows you'll be a noble person and show it to your uncles and aunts."
Kalina smiled broadly. "Hopefully. It's been a night, Fi. I'm back in the room first, right?"
"Oh yeah, okay. I'd also like to close the gate and keep sleeping."
Finally, the same two human children have a bitter story that is separated because of the agency that is not supportive to continue chatting. Time crawled forward, making the two inevitably have to separate to rest their bodies. The rain that fell back, making them more quickly sleep in the warm blanket that covers the body.
without feeling the day changed again. At eight o'clock Kalina had prepared herself to go around looking for work. Rafi who saw the departure of Kalina, of course only gave her support so that the woman was not discouraged and did not feel alone.
As time passed, and the day was already heading towards noon, Kalina was still seen walking at a fairly slow pace. Sweat is pouring because the air this afternoon is very hot. Hunger began to whack with fatigue that came together.
"Where else to look for vacancies?" he looked so desperate. Feeling unable to walk, Kalina decided to rest in front of an abandoned shop. Her tired and confused face mixed into one.
in the guard post, inexplicably Rafi herself was struck by not being calm with her current feelings. His mind was full of Kalina's name since a few hours ago when the woman left. It's only natural that Rafi put her worry on that shoulder-haired woman. Because she knew, Kalina was no friend and also did not have a broad enough insight about this city. Rafi is afraid that the woman is lost or that someone is doing evil to her.
Until a few hours later, when Rafi's worries began to peak, Kalina was seen returning with a very shaky step. "Kalina!" screech Rafi and she comes straight closer. But at the same time, Kalina's body immediately collapsed.
"Kalina!"
