Comeback

It's been more than 30 years, and I'm still like this. Thinking about how hard it is to work in a big city, I increasingly realize that life is sometimes so unfair for small people like me.

Initially, by graduating from college, I would get a decent job. And from there I began to pursue a career, married a simple wife and had two children.

But in reality it was just like a dream. In this real world, without a background, without the support of a good family, I just ended up as an ordinary person at work.

I don't know if this is a problem with the work environment, or the culture in this country, where skills are sometimes not valued and instead connections and background are something that is more in demand.

"Hey... I'm 31 years old now and I'm still living with my parents, thinking about my mother who still has to work at the age of 50, I'm truly an unfilial child.

Thinking about my late father who died of illness, and my promises to him that I still couldn't keep, I felt like I had failed as a man and man in my family.

Not to mention my younger Sister who is already an adult and is likely to marry his Boyfriend in the near future in 1 or 2 years.

Makes me happy and sad at the same time, Really God. Sometimes I wonder if I'm not a sinner or a criminal but why does my life seem so not easy!!!!"

Sighing in a helpless tone, Wijaya Kesuma, a quite handsome young man lamented his fate sitting pensively in a City Park.

"If I could go back to the past, I could definitely make my life and that of my family easier...

Convinced my mother to immediately get out of her corrupt factory, and persuaded my father to rent a food place instead of having to trade around with a cart.

And thinking about evil relatives who only ask for help but in the end when the family is in trouble they disappear.

I really have to open the eyes of my kind parents!!!! Unable to think about the many tragedies that had occurred in his past, Wijaya felt that the burden on his shoulders was very heavy.

He doesn't seem willing to do all that, he wants to change it, but what can he do? He can only dream of being able to come back.

So he slowly closed his eyes, trying to relax his brain and let himself sleep for a while, escaping from the harsh reality of this world which was not easy for a small man without sufficient background.

Only what Wijaya didn't expect was that while he was sleeping, a cute little black cat was watching him.

Seeing that he had fallen asleep, the cute black cat walked slowly on its little feet.

And jumping onto the bench where Wijaya was sleeping, sniffing the scent of Wijaya's body, the cat looked happy as if he had found something he liked.

Then he skillfully jumped again and now he was right next to Wijaya's head, looking clearly at his easy helpless face.

"Meow...a small and cute sound came from the black cat's mouth.

And then, unexpectedly the black cat jumped over Wijaya's head and fell right on the other side, looking back where Wijaya still seemed to be sleeping.

The cat meowed again...and soon left.

On the other hand, in his sleep Wijaya seemed to experience something strange, where he dreamed that he was visited by a cute black cat.

Surprisingly the cat can talk and he asks what do you want most?

And without Wijaya realizing it, he wanted to go back to the past, back where he could change the fate of him and his family.

After listening to Wijaya's request, the cat just meowed and soon disappeared from his dream.

Feeling strange, Wijaya became stunned and confused about the meaning of his dream, only then a strange feeling enveloped him.

The feeling was like warm water washing over him and making his body and mind refreshed.

And after that, the noisy voices of many people seemed to fill his ears, feeling disturbed, Wijaya tried to open his eyes.

And what he saw was a large white board in a classroom. He was shocked when he saw it, then he looked to his right and left.

Soon an familiar face flooded his brain.

Feeling frightened by what he saw, Wijaya tried to wake himself up by pinching his hand hard.

But apart from the pain and soreness that came, he didn't feel anything else.

This of course made him worried and excited at the same time, now an important question arises in his heart, is this all true??? And not a dream??? If true then I am!!!!!

"Hey.....what was your name?" When Wijaya was preparing to answer the question asked by himself, a young man's voice sounded his eloquence.

"Ahhh...looking to the side at the young face with a little visible fat looking at him, seeing this face, Wijaya had many mixed feelings in his heart.

Because in front of him now is his best friend in the future, whose name is Rudi.

"Hey... why don't you answer my question? Rudi asked Wijaya again.

"Sorry...sorry...I was just thinking about something and got distracted, okay let's get to know each other again, my name is Wijaya Kusuma, nice to meet you Rudi" stretched out his hand and they shook hands.

"Nice to meet you, Wijaya I think we will be class friends," Rudi answered back in a friendly manner.

That day, if he remembers correctly, was the first day he met Rudi, his best friend when they attended class introductions at his campus.

And this happened in 2011 when he had just entered college, if he remembers correctly, this was just a brief introduction about the campus and the major they were taking.

They are gathered for approximately 1 hour, and in 1 class containing 40 new students in one department.

Talking about majors, Wijaya majored in culture and language literature, which is his favorite major, but unfortunately with his less broad outlook and inadequate resources, he could only end up with the profession of a teacher or salesman in a company, which is really sad.

In the end the introductory class just ended, and he, who couldn't wait to go back to his house to verify whether this was real or not, became restless.

So after a brief introduction about himself and Rudi, he didn't say much and chose to sort out the memories he had.

"Okay, see you next week Rudi, I'll go first" parting ways with Rudi in front of the class, Wijaya immediately went outside the campus building.

The goal is to go to the campus parking lot, to pick up the motorbike that is there.
