FROM THE DARK TO THE LIGHT
RACHEL'S BUSYNESS
Rachel's Apartment
At 07:45 in the morning
"So we move now Chel?", asked Alora as she and Rachel sat on the living room couch of Rachel's new apartment for 4 months, before Alora's accident.
A few minutes ago, the two of them reached Rachel's apartment and Rachel told Alora everything.
"No Al. I want to pay the rest of this apartment installment I used to keep selling at a more expensive price. The money is good enough to buy another house", said Rachel while sipping cola from the can in her right hand.
"Okay Chel's. Em..", Alora was silent and lowered her head.
"Why?", asked Rachel.
"Sorry just a nuisance. If I'm not blind, I will help as much as I can Chel. Sorry about Chel. Ever since I was blind, the idea has only been a burden" Alora said with a gloomy face.
Rachel stunned. He forgot that Alora was with him. He forgot that Alora had experienced something much worse than her current condition.
Since her parents died, Alora has lived independently in small boarding houses in a fairly slum and crowded area. Alora always tries to find odd jobs even though she is in college. Alora wakes up at 3am and starts working. He received cleaning services and ironing at his home, received cake orders and healthy dessert messages, opened a small snack business, a used goods seller, so as to become a restaurant employee.
Before entering class, Alora usually entrust her merchandise in the campus cafeteria and offer her merchandise if there are empty classes. With his efforts, Alora was able to buy a motorcycle and pay for the needs of the campus and his writing tools. Alora is also a Mobile Legends Bang-Bang pro player who opened an account jockey service and bought and sold diamond games.
"Std. That's not it. Don't sad. Lo suh my sodara. I am also responsible for Al. No papa. My doain can arrange everything well well" Rachel said as she held Alora's hand and warmed it up.
"Sorry Chel", said Alora again, this time it's true Rachel's guess, Alora cried. His nose was red and his lips were trembling.
Rachel smiled and hugged Alora warmly while patting the back of the crybaby girl patiently.
"Cup cup. No papa" Rachel entertained.
Alora was just crying in Rachel's arms. Although she seemed quiet and cheerful, Alora was very sensitive. Despite trying to be independent and eat the acids of life, Alora still grows into a crybaby girl. Even Julian, Nathan, and Rachel are always ready with dry wipes in their bags or pockets with Alora. There was just something that made Alora shed her tears.

"I'm a lager" Aayra said after cleaning herself in the bathroom in her room. The plan, he and Riri stay at Julian's house for 1 month.
"Tuhh Julian's cooking again. Patience is dear. You come here, I play" said Nathan, who was sitting leaning on Julian's living room couch with a cellphone in his hand.
Aayra shook her head and sat on Nathan's lap. Nathan circles his hands around Aayra and puts his fingers back to play Free Fire.
In the kitchen, Julian was busy cooking with Riri.
"Yes. The fried onion ambilin in the buffet dong", Julian's ink that had just tasted the beef rib soup he had made just now.
"OKAY. Bentar", replied Riri while opening the buffet above Julian and took a jar of fried shallots and then closed the buffet door again and gave the jar to Julian.
"The drink is ready. Bowl, spoon, fork, rice, meal, everything is ready at the dinner table. Wait for the sop so. Vegetable fried noodles with fried chicken are also already kutaroh on the dining table", Riri reported in detail.
Julian smiled and gently stroked the top of Riri's head.
"My girl is pinter. Well, it's ready. You call 2 more burden dating it to the dining room. I'm gonna put this on the dinner table. I'm waiting for you there okay", Julian said.
"Riri answered, "wearing up", giving Julian his right thumb and walking out of the kitchen to call Nathan and Riri who were joking in the living room.
Julian turned off the stove, put on the oven mitts, and lifted the hot pot of soup into the living room and put it in the middle of the dining table. After seeing everything was ready, Julian just took off his apron and attached it to the back of the chair which he then sat on.
Shortly thereafter, Nathan, Riri, and Aayra arrived. Nathan took Aayra's hand. Riri sat down on the chair beside Julian's right. Nathan and Aayra sat opposite him.
"b . Eh Ay's. Let's eat", said Nathan who almost keceplosan mention the name Alora.
"Who is this?", asked Aayra who suddenly wiped the smile on her lips after hearing the name Al called.
"Nathan means Ay. Swipe his tongue because it's too laper like it" Julian said
"Well, baby" Nathan said with a fake smile.
"Ohh that" continued Aayra while raising her shoulders.
"Eat. I'm the laper", said Riri while taking rice for Julian.
"Yes dear", Julian replied with a smile. He glared at Nathan. Nathan only looked at Julian's gaze while drinking water.

"You found the location, boss. Diamond Apartment, room number 450, PIK", reports a man in a black uniform who stands behind a man in a dark green suit standing on the edge of the rooftop.
The man in the green suit was holding a glass of red wine that he shook with his right hand to make a ringing sound.
"Nice. Keep an eye on him. Don't let him know he's being spied on", said the Boss with a slanted smile on his lips.
"Ready Boss", replied the guard.
The bodyguard returned to the row of dozens of uniformed guards like him who were standing behind the Boss.
"Step by step. If it is stuck like this, what can you do?", muttered the Boss as he sipped red wine in his crystal glass.

"Yes, I want to sell my favorite car. It cost me 3 billion when I first bought it. Tpi because I used to wear long,gue sell 2 M aja. How?', Rachel asked her interlocutor who was sitting casually in front of her.
"Gue cicil can?. You don't have that kind of money right now" the man bargained in front of Rachel.
"Yaish you want me to tampol?. I need it now, not tomorrow" Rachel said, raising her right hand up.
"Bad lo. Sales people where there is a gini. Ah don't like", said the man in the gray shirt in front of Rachel.
"Sad. Don't need likes, you need money. If not gini. Lo bargain to your friends. Sell 3 M. The 2.5 for me, the rest for you", Rachel's serious.
"Okeh,deal", the man replied while shaking Rachel's right hand steadily.
"Kalo dikiran aja new maoo. Basic",liver Rachel.
"Well, you have to dong. Life needs money", said the man while rubbing his nose and smiling proudly.
"Judek. I went home first, I sent you the specifications plus photos of my car", camit Rachel while standing up from her chair and walking away from the table.
"Eh uh this is who paid the woy" the brown-skinned man yelled at Rachel.
"Yes, it's Luci Damasta. Byee", Rachel replied as she waved her left hand briefly at the man she had spoken to earlier.
"Aishh I knew. Eelah. Mending me a meal out of the mubazir", grumbled Luki while sitting back in her chair and finished off the fries, katsu chicken, and the coffee left on her desk.
Luki Damasta is Rachel's friend, who is a professional photographer. His channel spread around the world, making Rachel ask for his help to sell her car.
Rachel called someone as she was walking toward her parked car not far from the Magenta cafe and stuck her phone to her right ear as she continued walking towards her car.
"Gue wants to sell my shoes, clothes, and accessories. Not for sale, but for the things I used to wear everyday. Please open your auction this afternoon specifically for me. I'll give you a 10% commission%. I sent you all the photos of my stuff around 3pm. Okay thanks Bill. Bye", Rachel closes her call and looks for other contacts in her WA.
The one he called was Billy Herdianto. Billy is a well-known influencer on all apps who often opens auctions for expensive items, even the stuff of famous artists.
Rachel called another contact and stuck her phone to her right ear again.
"Des, please cancel the photo shoot event for promo. I myself will photograph all the products together with the same model. There's a little problem but I can handle it. Yes, thanks pretty Desi. Bye beb", Rachel closes her call with Desi Fatmawati, her olshop shop manager, then puts her phone in her trouser pocket.
"Huft tired", Rachel said, brushing her hair and tucking her hair with a black hair pigtail on her left wrist.
Her beauty radiates until people see her while she is pigtails her beautiful long hair. Stupid with people staring at her, Rachel opened her car door and walked in.
Soon, his car drove down the street, toward his apartment. From afar, it seems some people took pictures of him from the time he came to the cafe until he got out of the cafe.

Rachel's Apartment
At 12:35
"Assalamual'alaikum", Rachel said as she walked into her apartment and closed the door again.
Rachel took off her shoes and put them on the shoe rack and changed into house slippers. He went upstairs and checked Alora's room.
"l. Wake up, have you prayed Dzuhur belom?", asked Rachel as she patted Alora's shoulder gently.
Alora opened her eyes and blinked a few times.
"Now what time is Chel?", asked Alora with a distinctive hoarse voice waking up.
"Hour 12.36. I have prayed Dzuhur in the mosque on the way home earlier. Kalo lo belom prayer, prayer first continue to the dining room okay. I want to take a shower and keep preparing the food okay", said Rachel
Alora nodded. Rachel helps Alora stand up and drives her into the bathroom. After Alora closed the door. Rachel came out of Alora's room to her own room and took a bath. After finishing the bath and changing into casual pajamas, Rachel came out of her room and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Arriving in the kitchen. He took a pot handle on the stove and filled it with tap water and put it on the stove. Rachel turned on the stove and walked up to take the little green chair she used to take out the things stored in the buffet. Because the buffet is at an altitude of 2.4 meters and Rachel is only 1.6 meters high.
Rachel took 2 packs of boiled noodles inside the buffet. 1 taste of soto, and 1 more curry flavor. Alora she chose curry, while Rachel chose soto. Rachel then went down and put the 2 packs of noodles on the kitchen table, near the stove. Rachel walked to the refrigerator not far from her and opened it. Rachel took 2 chicken eggs from the refrigerator and closed them again.
After boiling, Rachel broke one of the eggs and put it in the pot. Yep, Rachel wants to make boiled noodles with eggs as a complement.
In the room, Alora was praying Dzuhur solemnly. Rachel had already marked the floor so that Alora would not be wrong.
After the prayer, Alora prayed until her tears came back.
10 Minutes later, Alora went downstairs and headed for the kitchen. He smelled the scent of soto and curry mixed with the delicious smell of boiled eggs.
"Nakanya", Alora said as she walked closer to the direction of the smell.
"Wuh surely. Sitting on the carpet only Al, while watching TV", said Rachel who then brought 1 tray containing 2 bowls of cooked egg noodles, 2 spoons+fork, and 1 bottle of drinking water.
"Yok", Sahut Alora while walking behind Rachel carefully

Rachel placed the tray on the thick blue carpet carefully and then sat down cross-legged. Alora sat down beside Rachel slowly, so that she would not nudge the bowl or anything Rachel was carrying. Alora also sat cross-legged, just like Rachel.
Rachel placed the spoon and fork on Alora's right and left hands and started eating her own soto noodles. Alora also does the same after previously drinking water from a bottle that Rachel gave her before Rachel gave her a spoon and fork. She really likes Rachel's egg curry noodles.
The two of them ate quietly while occasionally laughing at the jokes made by Disney cartoon characters who were acting on the television in front of them. Although she could not see, Alora understood their words.
Seriate...
