Stepping on the Thousand Hope City | PART II | written by Augusta Sastroprajitno

After finished eating the rice wrap, obed asked "hei name km who?" And I replied "Untung bed" after the handshake obet ask "where live?" I was confused just shook his head, "Hahahahahahaha you human cardboard ya ?, Obed laugh.Masnusia Kardus is where we sleep in the night on a cardboard platform Stores and so on.

I was invited obed walking down the street in the middle of the city to luxury housing, I was surprised not to think I was invited obed right into a luxury housing, in my mind, this young man with rags tattered clothes not so neatly invited me into the residential area luxury , I just shook my head on the way.

From a distance obed shows "it's my house" tung "where the bed" I replied, "it's a dark one myself" I looked with wonder, a luxury house in the 80s among luxury homes in the millennium era, really did not expect my meeting with obed really outside Suspicion, that every human being can be anyone and anything it is up to want to be what it is.

Arriving me in the wide and grassy courtyard of the house, my feelings were confused and shocked, the man I had just met a few hours ago, casually took me away at his house, until I was at the door with teak carvings, just like a luxury mansion house.

Meet me with obed parents, "good night mas" greeted the old man with clothes I told kumel with this luxury house, I was more confused carried by the circumstances at that time, until ahir from that night many stories that I get from the figure of the parent.

He lived in that house for almost 12 years he was a former hero in the 60's because he joined the battle while still young, unlike my life who only know keasikan and chaos, that night really make me change, become someone with the mindset Which is more distant, and more respect for the life of others.

On the sidelines I listen to the story obed offers me a simple dinner, a sumptuous dinner for people like us, when I eat "why do you keep me in this Thousand Hope City" he replied with a small laugh "My son is not I just wait for thousands of dreamers to appear "I am more confused with every speech and babble.

He realized with my expression "nak should not have to worry about this life, there is no place for people confused and doubt in this Thousand Hope City" I just cocked my head and went to dinner

That night I told the story obed in the backyard, I asked "bed since when you and your father live without electricity ?, while the neighbors around your house is bright?" Obet burst out laughing and replied "hahahahhaha, this is not my house, this is a rich man's house left behind by a corruption case?" With that answer I feel there is something strange.

I and Dad just take the rain and take shelter from the Security Officer, you have to be careful with the security guard too, we can get caught, yes even if it's off, too, but lazy with this process and that "a new lesson for me Surviving in the Country Itself, a State that is said to be independent, struggling through life and not expecting the country.

When I showed up at 12.00 in the morning, I was invited to walk the road "Let me follow the beauty of the City of Thousand Hope" I followed every step of my new friend in this city, I arrived at a half-ruined old building, I started climbing Fence together obet in continue I stepped inside, obed said "after this we struggle to the top of this building.
