| EGG |
“Crack…..”
sound of my breaking egg. It felt down from my bucket into the stony land. I
was slip. Five hundred rupiah was lost. The problem will come when I arrive at
Mr. Tongki’s house. He usually gets angry and throws the other eggs when I come
late or missing the egg. He is my customer, my boss, and my life. I can avoid
Mr. Tongki by going back to home, but who will give me money? And also my
father will really get upset. His sharp moustache will be like a knife. Okay, I
will continue this journey, whatever the risk. Due
time is when the sun rises. I must walk quickly.
I
just walked around one hour, only one third from all. I must walk for 6
kilometers, passing emerald-watered river, and walking beside high trees is my
everyday food. I face a muddy road. This sandal is not good enough. It can’t
help me to walk on a muddy road. Really really slippery, sometime the left belt
detached. I am forced to wear that black Sunly sandal. The price is not too
expensive, only four thousand rupiah. But my money is limited, sandals is not
my priority. As long as I can use this sandal, it will protect my fragile foot
skin. I have to release it, and throw to the end line of mud. I walk without
sandal and hold my egg bucket tightly. I really watch my step.
