GREY MARNI
A Forest

Still confused, Rudi was still confused.

A disaster came to him without permission, his weekly allowance disappeared left some money that he had used as a boarding dowry and left for the rations tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is the day that he needs to count from now on.

The day was late, the wall clock showed at 23:23 Rudi was still awake thinking about what he needed to do before he really ran out of money. Right now all he has is a smartphone and money of 98,000 (Nine Eight Thousand) The best option is to quickly find a job or he has to sell the only communication tool he has.

Tomorrow it has been decided, Rudi will return to the terminal trying to find luck. He planned to search for his bag while looking for a job at the terminal. There are still many options he thinks of plan A, plan B, plan C. Rudi dissolves in expectations and guesses, what will be the day after tomorrow. It did not feel good Rudi with his eyes closed and the beauty of the darkness of the night.

...will there be hope...

...atakah grows deeper anxiety...

...***************...

A bright morning with a different view, Rudi came out of his room stretching the joints, looking left and right. Rudi walked forward two steps by folding both hands and leaning against the wall of the second floor Rudi widened his eyes to observe and look at the surrounding closely saw a young woman wearing a negligee and drying clothes a a beautiful sight for Rudi, not infrequently the woman looked down and squeezed her laundry, throwing and drying it.

Rudi was still observing the woman, vaguely like the two of them were connected. The woman looked up to find a teenager standing with a hard body. The two of them clashed with each other for a moment they looked like they would smile at each other and say hello. But things changed, Rudi felt embarrassed and turned his face away. He blushed to see the graceful face of the woman's face full of heaven's decoration, her dimples were like excavations full of chin gems that were being slightly taper, red pink lips, and, his eyes were still imperfect from his sleep and his hair was torn in pitch-black. Rudi felt a vibration. The question is, can he get it? will the journey be this fast?. Even though he was awakened by his dilemma last night, he had to rush to the terminal looking for clarity of what plan he should use.

After cleaning the body, dressing and dressing Rudi left for the terminal, down the stairs and across the clothesline of women who had a chance to see him.

"Mas, masss" said a woman he did not know where. Rudi was still searching for the origin of the sound.

"Mas, here..!!" A well-dressed woman, a white shirt and black pants typical of job applicants.

"Ohh, what's wrong?" Sahut Rudi's.

"There's nothing at all". The woman approached Rudi and walked together.

"Where are you going?"

"Where am I going to the terminal, where am I going?"

"It just so happens that we're in the same direction, I'm going to peace"

"peace building?" Ask a stranger Rudi by the name of the building.

"Ahahaha yes mas, kedung peace"

"What building is mbak?"

"Hahaha secret" Tengil! that's how Rudi copulated the woman.

A beautiful woman who is cheerful and full of laughter, the height of Rudi's shoulder was wearing tote shoes, her lips thin and dramatic, lipstick that faded with pink color is not too thick, and the color is not too thick, like just clarifying his real lips. "He's beautiful!". That's what Rudi's heart says.

"Why go to terminal?”

"Secret!" Reply Rudi.

"Muahahaha, ok 1 is the same"

Rudi smiled, observing the woman he did not blink his eyes.

"Whose name is mbak?"

"I?"

"No, who sells pecel rice there whose name is?” Strictly Rudi who does not accept.

"Hahahaha, I'm Salsa"

"Ohh no question" answered the woman while biting her lips holding back a laugh.

"Hahahaha, Rudi's the one with the magic chalk, huh?"

"Ahahaha, no, Rudi's the one with the catfish pool"

"haha"

"haha"

They walked around chatting until they were stopped by the highway. They stopped by the side of the road, turned to the right and left to intercept the green public transport that read the destination of the two of them.

Their journey was filled with laughter and getting to know each other until Salsa arrived at the place where she had to change angkot.

"Byee, tomorrow we go together again huh"

"Every peace warrior" Rudi replied with a big smile. Rudi was still in the angkot until he reached the terminal. He came down and paid the fare, stamped in Rudi's head as if he felt a loss because yesterday he rode a rickshaw that was quite draining of the bag. Just a day Rudi was in town and he had already lost the nature of his big bear, a trait he had never felt, the nature of worrying to spend more money. he felt from then on he had to skimp.

After getting off the angkot Rudi decided to look for a coffee shop, according to Rudi, it will be easier to find information if he is in a coffee shop where the drivers hang out and tell stories.

Rudi ordered coffee, lit a cigarette justifying his sitting position. Before long the coffee he ordered was ready and Rudi poured it into a cup and drank it slowly.

After a few gulps, three people entered the stall they were talking to each other. Rudi remained silent and waited for the right time to ask. Shortly after Rudi waited for two of them out Rudi got his moment.

"Sir, may I ask you"

"Ohh ask what deck?" the man answered and looked friendly

"So yesterday I took the bus, but my bag was left behind. Where's the son of a bitch?"

"Byeah? What's contents?"

"My clothes, sir, are the same as food from home". Rudi was forced to lie so as not to fall into things that he did not want.

"What bus did you ride"

"What bus? I don't know sir, it's just blue, that's all I remember"

"Goddess... There are many blue bus decks"

"Wow, so I can't find my bag huh?”

"Ahahaha, here-here! Sit next to me." take the man by waving his hand and tell Rudi to sit next to him. Rudi then moved and sat down next to the man.

"This is the deck, my experience, I'm the bus kernet yes, if there is a bag or whatever is left it is certainly lost deck, so you will not be able to find again"

"So for example I know which bus I ride how sir?"

"Everyone! Even though you know which bus, and know who to contact you won't be able to get on, you'll get in trouble." Rudi was silent for a moment, guessing what the man said. This is a very different thing from his previous life where when there is an item left Rudi never confused the item will be lost or will not be able to find who took the item, Rudi, but this time it is different like an environment that will not have humanity in it.

"Especially if the goods are valuable, wuhh sat set ilang deck". Added the man breaking Rudi's daydream.

"Dial the police sir"

"Instead the police report, yo even your double deck". Firmly the man with the language that Rudi understood.

The coffee shop conversation was full of exchange conversations and Rudi also had to carry out his other plan, which was to find a job. Rudi gets a call from the man to be a kernet on the bus where he becomes a kernet. Rudi had already resigned to his lost item and decided to sell the smartphone he had, exchanging it for some clothes and money for the next day's rations.

On the way home Rudi still does not accept this situation, the goods left behind in an agency that should protect the rights of passengers. No responsibility no commitment of honesty. A neighborhood inhabited only by the king of heaven, who will not be eliminated.

Rudi is like being in a wilderness full of predators or even worse, maybe the forest itself is the predator.
