Old Beggar

So then Rudi took the old beggar to enter a small shop that sells chicken noodles, "boss give us 2 portions of special chicken noodles..." Rudi ordered when he entered the shop.

Seeing Rudi enter with the beggar, for a moment the peddler hesitated to serve.

And Rudi saw the blank face of the chicken noodle seller's boss as if he knew what was worried so then he said, "ok just pack my order, and this time makes it four" Rudi immediately said changing his order.

Rudi did not feel disgusted or disappointed with the actions taken by the sales boss, because basically when the sales boss wants to serve his order or not it is his right, so in this case, Rudi doesn't think too much about it, moreover helping is something that cannot be forced and only with sincere self-awareness will helping have a meaningful meaning.

Seeing that now the boss agreed to his request then Rudi turned his eyes to the old beggar, gave him a plastic stool to sit on Rudi then asked a little about the reason why the old man became a beggar in his old age.

Because when Rudi saw it in person he estimated that the beggar old man's age was around 60 to 70 years old.

"Old man, I'm a little curious. If you don't refuse and don't get offended, may I know why you became a beggar?" Rudi asked curiously.

"It's okay, nothing special, just an old man who lives without offspring in his old age," said the old beggar replied.

"Wouldn't you be able to live in a government nursing home instead of having to roam the streets like this?" Rudy asked again.

"I find it too boring there, and here is much livelier than there even though I have to starve but it's better than if I have to be lonely. Because for us elderly old men like this hunger are something normal and loneliness I have something we don't want to experience.

But as you can see now fate has other plans, I can only live and be lonely at my old age like now" the old beggar explained to Rudi the reason he chose not to be in a nursing home.

It's just that later their conversation had to be cut short because Rudi's order had already been completed, paying for 4 packs of special chicken noodles for IDR 40,000. Rudi then realized that he only had IDR 60,000 left, but even so, Rudi didn't regret helping the old man.

Because somehow he seems to see an old picture of when he will grow older in the future.

After paying for the order, Rudi then invited the old beggar to come home with him to his house, no fear crossed Rudi's mind to invite the old beggar to eat at his house.

Because there was nothing of value in his house, moreover, Rudi always felt that if he wanted to help someone, he could not do it with just half a step, so he sincerely invite the old beggar to his home.

And the old beggar was initially surprised by what Rudi did but after thinking for a few seconds he agreed to Rudi's request.

arrival at home, Rudi then invited the old beggar, and a short story, one night passed.

#####

In the morning Rudi woke up feeling much more refreshed, holding both of his hands Rudi felt a strong feeling coming from there.

"It's become much stronger," Rudi said with satisfaction at the change in his body.

Cleaning himself Rudi then came out of his room and found that the old beggar who last night talked a lot with himself was now no longer in the living room, after checking other parts of the whole house he found that the old beggar seemed to have left his house.

"Yeah... maybe he likes to be free, so let him be," said Rudi in a helpless tone as if regretting the departure of the old beggar, the night after he ate with the old beggar Rudi found that the knowledge possessed by the old beggar was very qualified.

Rudi who inherited the memory of his predecessor realized that the knowledge possessed him now, coupled with his previous life could be said to be very advanced but when he chatted with the old beggar, he found that the idea of ​​some simple things could become something very valuable when the old beggar spoke.

So then most of the night Rudi talked with the old beggar about various things, it wasn't until he felt tired and fell asleep at 01.00 at night that he returned to his room and only woke up when the morning was approaching like now.

#######

As a note the world currently occupied by Rudi has a great degree of similarity to his previous world, it's just that the developments in this world are 10 years behind compared to his world, see the date shows in January 2020 but with the feel of 2010.

Especially later after he realized that there would be someone who hated him and didn't like seeing him succeed, thus failing all the interviews he had, it was decided that he had to have another decision if he wanted to survive in today's world.

So without delay, Rudi immediately found out various things in this world, from the political economy system to culture and also entrepreneurship, all of which Rudi explored to see his potential and also develop himself in the future.

Until noon came and Rudi felt hungry, he immediately went to the kitchen to make lunch, only he found that apart from rice, there was only three egg in his fridge Seeing this, Rudi knew that he needed money right now.

Helplessly Rudi just fried eggs for his lunch together with rice," ahhh fortunately there is sweet soy sauce, it's a good helper" Rudi said excitedly when he saw that there was sweet soy sauce in his kitchen, this is something very good to add when someone eats rice with only a side dish of fried eggs or scrambled eggs, sprinkle enough Rudi.

After he was full, Rudi returned to searching for the information he was doing, but a sudden knock on his door disturbed him, "Who is this?? From the memory of his predecessor, none of his friends had ever been invited to come to his house. So in this case Rudi was surprised who came during the day to visit him.

Only when he opened the door did he know the answer, in front of him was currently a middle-aged man dressed in a neat suit with glasses smiling at him.

" Who are you looking for?" Rudy asked confused.
