THE FIRST GUEST
Although a pimp is in a place that is not good, Sundari is a good woman. No one knows that Sundari never is separated from the SALAT fardhu 5 times by his faith. Just to get away from this place Sundari does not have the courage. Not a matter of sustenance, not at all. Sundari believes that God will set his sustenance. Only, she's not ready to return to the environment of ordinary people. She was not yet ready if you hear the words slur as a slut or a former butterfly of the night.
"You were young once, Kartika. Are you still in school?"
"Still Mrs, I'm still in high SCHOOL. I don't know if
I will sell myself that day. Mother just dragged me to go with her and then I left at home, Mrs. Sania."
Sundari embraced Kartika with warmth, making the young girl was a little surprised. Treatment Sania and Sundari are very much different. Sania is more fierce and very cynical, while Sundari is so soft. This certainly makes Kartika confused.
"If my son is still alive, he's of age, Kartika. No need to wear the name Karla yeah, just continue to be Kartika. May I ask you something?"
"Wh-what, Mrs?"
"If in front of the other children, you can still call me Mrs. But, if only we both call me Mom. Do you want to?"
Tears Kartika unstoppable again, she was crying in the arms of Sundari.
"Thank you, ma'am."
"I will take care of your ID, Kartika. By the way, you have to learn to save, dear. Wherever possible, the Mother will give you a good guest and not too coarse royal in giving money tips. So you can quickly get out of here. I don't want you to suffer the same fate as the Mother. Grow old in a place like this. Do not linger in this place, kid. You're still too young and you're still entitled to feel a much better life. Well, now you're back to your room. Dress up pretty. Usually, guests come at 10 pm. The mother will select the property that is good for you yeah, boy. There, guests are only booking to accompany karaoke. Don't always have to accompany above the bed."
"Once again, thank you, ma'am."
"Same-same, Kartika."
Kartika went out of the room and back to his room to join Neneng and Euis. Kartika was starting to wear make-up. As usual, she only chooses the natural makeup, she doesn't want to seem too visible.
"You are delicious, Tika. Your face is white ain't spotty, and yes, it's a piebald rich of our face. Try to see my face, but if you don't use a foundation that much is certain plasticity that if I a lot of acne," said Euis.
"Ah, not so, Sist. I do not want to dress up with a thick. Later people will not be able to recognize me again," replied Kartika
Suddenly, the sound of Sundari calls Kartika. Kartika who has just finished their make-up and changed clothes immediately approached Sundari.
"Wear shoes and bring your bag. Guests want to take you to Karaoke."
Kartika was by, he grabbed his bag and put on his shoes.
Hotel Kartika a young man of high stature, was quite handsome. From his appearance, he was only 28 years old.
"It's called Mr. Johny, brother is working in Awiligar. You will help to Hollywood Karaoke oke. Don't be afraid, it'll be in between again here, really," said Sundari. Kartika just nodded.
Johny direct held hands Kartika her in his car. They headed to the streets of Sumatra. A Karaoke place there. The place is not too big but the rooms are quite nice. So also with the sound right. Most importantly the songs are quite complete. So that Johnny said.
"You're the new kid, huh?" asked Johnny in Kartika.
"Yes, bang. Just this afternoon I got."
"Inappropriate, pimp said there's new stuff. Age you must be still smaller? Look from your face. Different from each other in there. Already on age, you still fresh," said Johnny.
When they get a woman of high stature and straight-haired with white skin smooth to greet them. "This Mami Marisa, I'm usually always booking children here, but, since the last Mami Sundari phone, so bring your you. Mami, this is my friend his name is Kartika."
The woman who called Mami Marisa was instantly held out his hand. He smiled kindly at Kartika.
"So, the night is not booking the ladies here?" asked Marisa. Johnny shook his head, "next Week bout, here again, Mrs."
Johny was renting a room-sized and also order food and drinks. Drink in the book by Johny only soft drinks and some snacks such as French fries, nuggets, and fried chicken usual.
"I'm not a drinker, so I can't take that book drink weird. Anyway I indeed hobby singing, not to get drunk. The work I make enough tired, and I need refreshing," says Johnny again.
Kartika is not too much to say. He was quite happy to listen to Johny talk this and that. They sang together, sound Johny according to Kartika pretty good. "The sound of you is good," said Kartika.
"Well, so dong. From the last, I want to hear you talk. This happens even I so radio battered continuous talk," said Johnny.
"I'm ashamed," replied Kartika honest. Johny only stroked the hair of Kartika slowly.
"You're there on the wish of you?" asked Johnny.
Kartika shook his head, and a sad story about his mother also flow from the lips of Kartika. Johny who heard the story Kartika involuntarily shed tears.
"How could your mother. So, you've never met again with your mother?" asked Johnny.
"Not yet, bang. To be honest, I also don't want to live in that place and become peddlers of love. I still want to go to school and enjoy my youth. But, everything is not going according to what I expected. I've become a pariah. I'm already dirty and not worth it for anyone," said Kartika finishing the story.
Johny gave a deep sigh. He felt compassion heard the story of Kartika.
"If you need anything, ask for Mrs. Sundari to call me. I will come for you if I can help you yes I will help as much as possible. Let's just say I'm your brother, Kartika."
"Thank you so much for your kindness, Brother. I think all the guests who come only need satisfaction in bed. But, it turns out there who need a friend to talk to like a brother."
"Don't look at everything from the outside, Tika. Not all that bad it's bad. And, not all that good that it is also good."
