Visible Loser
MEET PRINCESS
Three days went by, not feeling like this was my first weekend overseas.
The more days, I get more and more familiar with the residents of other boarding houses.
They were all far away coming to the capital, flat as factory workers. Naturally during the weekend, the atmosphere of this boarding house becomes crowded.
Kost Mak Jah, contains about twelve rooms and only ten rooms. All of the residents were male and only three residents were students before I lived there.
Every night sunday comes. If the residents of the boarding house do not return home, all residents of the boarding house are said to always gather on the terrace.
They are like brothers, they also often hold a meal with banana leaves.
Sometimes there are guitars even to sing together.
At the beginning of the month, they usually hold agility fights playing soccer games with makeshift prizes.
On that note, there is a television. Not big, maybe only twenty-four inches and two pairs of chairs were challenging him.
The terrace was not fenced at all. But said all residents of the boarding house here, the television was always safe from gondolan burglar.
The television was already there from Kost Mak Jah, which was in 1904. Haha... It's a jamu factory.
He said it's been four years, the television has not replaced even lost.
The atmosphere of the hostel this time happened to be crowded in holding a football game tournament.
I love a time like this. In addition to adding closeness, I can also show off my skills in playing games.
When he was cool to start the match, suddenly we were all surprised by the sound of Mak Jah from behind us all.
"Come good light, manganese manganese!" he said, bringing a tray full of white rice and fried rice as a side dish and not forgetting the sauce.
Everyone cheered with joy. Getting a free subsidy.
Information from Nevi, Mak Jah always does this with a different menu every weekend at the beginning of the month.
The goal is to provide rewards for residents of boarding houses who pay on time, as well as collect boarding money.
Although somewhat jutek and fierce like a middle-aged mother, Mak Jah is actually a substitute mother figure for the residents of the boarding house here. Anyway Mak Jah is the best if said son kost here mah.
The presence of Mak Jah was overtaken by a young woman. Maybe like a teenager who's still in high school.
Interestingly enough, the appearance of such an identical village girl was innocent and timid.
(Princess described as Anggi taught talent search in 2022).
Nevi nudged me, she whispered and told me that this is the Princess. The figure of the woman who the other day is always called by Mak Jah. Then I just answered "Oohh.. Ok."
"Mas Andre's. Piye, like kene ?" greet Mak Jah.
Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to call him like this. Because I'm here the status hitchhiking. Even in addition to hitchhiking, I am often in herbal medicine by Mak Jah.
Nevi said, ever since I was here. Mak Jah always asked me where I was and always cared about Nevi.
In fact, Mak Jah said he always told Nevi to go to his kitchen for dinner and said they were told to bring me dinner too.
However, because Nevi knows shame. I too, sometimes embarrassed.
My mom's marketing strategy is amazing. When looking at the prey, the taste continues. Especially seeing that there are two rooms that are still empty.
The cost here, actually not too expensive. Only one hundred and fifty thousand a month. Free electricity and use water.
But because my status is still unclear, I make sure to ride here goods a week first.
Sometimes, when approaching ashar or when the terrace is dirty. I love taking the initiative by happily sweeping that porch.
I sometimes find out Mak Jah shows up and watches me sweep the terrace.
Maybe Mak Jah also feels happy, if the hostel is always clean since my presence.
"Sett... This is far away."
"Sorry.sorry ! We go back when Mak Jah greets me."
"Alhamdulillah be at home or Mak." answered me.
"Oh yes Mak, tomorrow the day after that my announcement is accepted or not to lecture here. Please pray yes Mak." continued me again.
"Aamiin" instantly, the entire cobwebs answered my prayer.
"Come on, jo.lali yo.. Ngekost nang kene yo." said Mak Jah.
Instantly Nevi, coughs cough.
"Nopo koe Nev ?" ask Mak Jah.
"Ora Mak's. Niki loh, sambel genengan pedese puol." replied Nevi.
Instantly everyone laughed out loud when they saw Nevi's behavior.
Amidst the frenzy, there was a helping hand asking in the hands towards me.
"I'm the Princess, Mas." greet the girl.
"Oh yes, I am Andre ya." my handshake.
Then we drowned in our grasp.
After shaking hands, the Princess immediately returned to her home leaving Mak Jah alone who was arranging her food buffet on the terrace.
"I'm my son Mas." said Mak Jah.
"Oh yes Mak. Princess Mak, beautiful." praise me. "What class is Mak ?" ask me.
"Tekok dawey loh, mrono." seduced Mak Jah.
Hearing that sentence, Nevi suddenly coughed back.
Suddenly my face became red from embarrassment. My stale base doesn't feel good.
Finally that night, we spent playing games and eating dinner from Mak Jah.
