No customer coming for massage. So i read books, history of Indonesia especially the kingdom in 1200. I also read 48 laws of power from Robert Greene, huge new vocabularies to store in my head.
I am sure to forget them most, and novel about Irish family in London with weird behavior. I read them all because i get bored with one book, i read ten or twenty minutes each. After fade up with books, i want to go out, but where? Let me think, what about beach i heard myself say it, since it is close.
I put my butt on the black sand, grab the long stick before me and draw half moon. People lurk under the trees. A skinny kid offers me snacks on plastic tray. He holds it with both hands on his tummy, it looks heavy with his lanky arms.
I want to buy something but i am full. I regret it when he is gone. I should buy one. I am touched by his hard work.
Two young boys come and dig the sand and bury half body of his friend. I am thinking how happy i am if i have a friend doing it for me. But i hardly have any. I am a loner.
A lady is approaching the beach in white kebaya. She holds daksina and prays to God Baruna (ocean). Lay daksina there and she cleanses herself in the water. She is doing purification. Today is Kajeng Kliwon is a good time to do the ritual.
A fat father with his little daughter playing with the wave. He looks like happy Buddha with big belly and white skin shining by the sun. He smiles a lot. His little girl is frantically happy playing water.
Five girls are strolling with cellphone in their hands. Nowadays it is hardly seeing people without phone. Strong fragrance chokes my nose, does female usually wear it excessively. Since i often smell it from them. I spray fragrance just a bit just to smell by me.
I see a ball running on the sand, follow by young men giggling. I wish i have sportive spirit in me. But i don’t, i don’t like sport since in school. It is six pm it is time to go home. Bye beach see you again.
