Ding .. Ding .. Ding ..

My Whatsapp message tone goes off. Friday night, precisely at 21.30 WIB, I received a Whatsapp message from a junior who was also my playmate.

I am currently working as an apprentice lecturer at a private university in the next city. Because the Corona Virus pandemic has not yet ended, I have to take a break from my job and more precisely don't work other than guarding stalls at home.

Being in the room now feels so empty with books, snacks, PS Joysticks that are still scattered beside my bed. The clock's hands were ticking fast. I feel like time wants to eat me. It was a dark night and made the heart raging even more, it felt chaotic and felt even worse.

Yes ... I'm not young anymore. I dream of being able to marry the idol of my heart this year. But I can't do anything. I want to save money but instead have to take a break from work. It felt so bad that it felt like a useless person. The S2 diploma that I was once proud of, the title of a lecturer that I used to wear, is respected by many people, now, it's like being wasted.

Irham sent me a message,

"Ji .. want to not be a courier at my place of work?".

I thought about many things. In my mind I thought, would you be ashamed if you knew that her child, who was a lecturer, was an expedition courier? What will the neighbors talk about me in front of my mom? I'm not ashamed of any work. But I don't want my mother to feel insulted by me.

Before I had time to reply, I took my cellphone and opened my Game Application. A few seconds I logged in the game, suddenly my whole room changed. I was like I was in my own game with the Hand of the Hook, the head with the helmet horned hat, the thick mustache and the big body. Yes .. Franco in the Mobile Legends game.
