GREY MARNI
Waiting and Staying Strong

The flowers are blooming, the sewer water is starting to recede. God's power letters began to spread throughout the cavities of humans who began to doubt them. The beauty of destiny and all its trials is the art of life that cannot be missed.

For a few days Rudi did not work and always visited Salsa. Now he decided to work again so as not to lose the opportunity to receive a payday later in the month. He had already contacted Erlang that he would enter work from now on.

Rudi set off with a pack of fresh fruits. He decided to come twice a day to visit Salsa in the hospital. Morning when he left and afternoon when he came home from work. A job that is flexible enough to help prevent him from entering work late.

After meeting and delivering the supplies he brought to Salsa and then headed straight to work.

...----------------...

At the terminal, Erlang had started working then Rudi caught up with him.

"Lang, sorry late yes"

"New boy"

"Hahaha, just starting right?"

"She's just getting started, how's Salsa doing?"

"It's better"

Rudi throws the apples he left for Erlang and he eats them while working to find confused passengers who want to take the bus.

Erlang is a friend who never minded and envied his fellow workers, he principled that he would still diligently work even though his friends were lazing around. He thought that it was all to get used to himself and for his own sake.

It only takes 30 minutes and all passenger seats are almost fully charged. Mr. Darto has also come and heated his bus engine.

The bus began to leave, Erlang began to charge the passengers. Starting from the very back seat, Erlang charges one by one and occasionally flirts with some female passengers.

Rudi just stood in front and stared straight ahead. He didn't think about anything, just looked forward and called a few times.

Time passes quite quickly, the bus journey smoothly without obstacles until it reaches the destination terminal.

"Rud, let's go get a coffee." Bring Erlang.

"Come, I'll pay"

"Wokay!"

They headed to the shop as usual. The atmosphere is quite different, stalls that were once green have now changed color to all dark blue. Rudi and Erlang sat down and ordered their black coffee.

"Rud, yesterday the Marni got on the bus again, keep looking for you"

"Marni?"

"Yes, the old Marni"

"Keep he said what?"

"Nothing, just looking at you. I'm also embarrassed to ask him to talk"

"Hahaha, weak man!"

"Then njiirr..."

"Haha"

Once again Rudi was reminded of the figure of Marni, who exactly is this woman? Why does he know Rudi? Rudi was very curious and was eager to see the woman.

"Oh yes Rud, so every day you visit Salsa?"

"Yes"

"All I heard is he fell by himself"

"Salsa didn't say anything?"

"He hasn't said anything until now"

"What does the doctor say?"

"What?"

"Can he still talk?"

"Still like, the doctor just said the skin tissue was injured, the eyes and others are safe"

"Ohh... Thank goodness, I hope it heals soon"

"Yes"

Their conversation became very serious after discussing Salsa. Rudi also suddenly told her true background. He thought things would be easier when his close friends found out who he really was.

The break time was over, the two of them returned to the bus base which had begun to be filled by some passengers who had been used to boarding their buses. Rudi and Erlang started looking for passengers and helped them lift their luggage into the trunk.

After all the seats were full and Mr. Darto had not yet arrived, Erlang told Rudi to call him.

A few minutes after that Mr. Darto came and the bus started to leave. Rudi picked up the passenger fare for this time.

"You're so handsome, would you like to take no ghost?" Ask a mother.

"Hahaha, does this mother have a daughter?"

"There, much! There are 3 all pretty-beautiful stay select"

"Hahaha, I'm even selling"

"Hahaha, this is the youngest" said the woman as she stroked the head of a woman next to her.

"Wow, how can I not refuse!" Rudi.

"Hehehe, so how do we get married tomorrow?"

Mothers are so fond of slips, the woman next to him who is his son just fell silent and looked out the glass of the bus.

"Hahaha, his son is up"

"Hehehe, he's a little shy. Facing here, there's a candidate for you!"

At first glance the mother's son turned his face towards Rudi for a moment. An easy woman with a radiant white face, her clear eyes filled with warmth. At first glance Rudi saw it and was reminded by the sharp gaze from Salsa's tiny eyes. And suddenly Rudi felt a moment of sadness. He recalls what happened to Salsa.

"Hehehe, I'm sorry buk! I already exist"

"God... There's already a to's shop"

"That's fine! not your rejekiku nduk." Add the woman.

The children of the mothers look very depressed with the behavior of their mothers who like to be flat-headed.

Rudi left them and went on to charge some of the remaining passengers.
