Along the street, along the paddling of my bicycle, I always remember anthing happened yesterday and the days before today. Then I try to find something good and bad of those experiences to make some mark advices for my self better. Surely, anything has a moral value to be learned.Everything happens for some reasons. We do then we will get the effects of what we did. When some people swear something bad on their life since they hate it. I would prefer not to do that. Ouch, saying this expression;I would prefer not to do that, reminds me to one of the short stories by Herman Marville. Let me tell you reader a little about it which is entitled Bartleby The Scrievener. This tells about A Wall-Street story which tightly relates to how American people face their life. The depiction about the exact environment there is the point I can learn from it. Doubling, responsibility even the failure to connect with the circumstances meant isolation here are some pictures of this condition. I opinion, every region has its own story about the situation, indeed in my lives here. Ah humanity!. Ah the existence!

Around twenty minutes I need to get to my work place. Cycling is my favourite thingwhile listening some good western musics, I like it so much. By cycling makes my body healthy, even now I am so sweaty, this becomes such kind of cheerful way for myself. Working in early morning keeps me off from vehicle polution. What makes me cruel is when the time reaches to 7 a.m, when some people in rush go to work, then I must deliver some newspapers to every house, this makes me smell the bad polution from people's vehicle. What a madden thing!

People who have just seen my appearance often call me as a cool girl. In my age which is almost twenty years old, sometimes a girl starts to make herself up and imitate what the mainstream fashion is. Not for me, I have my own style and I feel comfort with this. No glamour and fashionable, indeed. The straight long hair and bangs covering my forehead become my favourite part of my body. And most of my friends know me as the girl who always ties the hair in approximately 30 minutes times. That's a cute statement. They know me as who I am. My uniqueness is my identity. When some young girls expect the ideal body such as a good height and weight then they try to get it as they can by doing anything treatment, but it's not for me. 162 cm and 51 kg are enough to be grateful on what I have, no complement. My watch in the left wrist, headset on my ears, warrior shoes and a blue old sweater are some stuffs that never be forgotten to wear. This rumpled jacket was bought by daddy when I was in the last year of yunior high school as a gift because of my good rank. Though it is an old jacket but I like it most, the thing which can cover my body from the sunlight. Indeed, Karina Nismasayu, the nice name which is actually stated a simplicity and identity of myself.

From the distance, approximately two meters, I can see already Mr.Joko in front of terrace in Kedaulatan Rakyat Building. There are many distributors there, not only him. Along the terrace is the place where they distribute the products to their employees. Likewise, I and other delivery men try to be in this place before the newspapers shared by the central employer of Kedaulatan Rakyat. The first time being a part of them. Not to be sleepy is a hard thing. Then I never find people sleepy. Mr. Joko said to me that is because of they have already adapted with the situation.One day, I can be like time also. In fact, how I am. As like them who have to stand by here from 3 a.m to get their space and portion of the newspaper. A carpet is the thing put for sitting on the floor. This job is valuable work for me. Waking up from sleep and going to work when some people are still sleeping. Ofcourse, not all people could do this even hard for each of them. Moreover, this is so hard for people who commonly live in the comfort zone. Indeed, the employees here, they have the same goal, like me, they want to fulfill their family's need. Yeah, for the sake of family!.

My arrival creates a beautiful smile from Mr. Joko. The hat man who always wears a short simple T-Shirt and flip-flops and never forgets to put a small bag in his waist.


Mr.Joko: "Good morning cute girl, hows life?"

Karina: "Good moorning too Sir, what a great life! it must be always, right?"

Mr.Joko: "You are really a good woman Dear. Proudful!. Do you know why the moon now is still showing its presence and the sun is still hiding from the sky?"

Karina: "So, why? Not know Sir. (Curious) "

Mr.Joko: "Do you want me to answer this? (Big Smile)"
