Four Corner Park

Taman Sari is the most beautiful place in the city of Srikaton. At least, that's what I think. Located on the outskirts of the city, this place is arguably far from the hustle and bustle of citizen work activities. There are only peace and pleasure seekers here. Families who are looking for entertainment, students who might be truant until dusk, young men and women who are dating, some people who are looking for inspiration, and many more. They are all here.

There are four corners that are the favorite of visitors here. Each corner has a wooden chair, wooden table and shade that makes the user feel comfortable there.
Jaka. He is in the first corner. The corner closest to the road. He liked the place because he could see vehicles passing by in front of him. The place is quite lush and cool with a large banyan tree that grows.
His face always smiled when he looked at the road. It's not like a crazy smile. But a smile of hope that was full of something he saw.

But, is it just the road he sees?
Not the street. But a SPG girl is a beauty product that is hung on the sidewalk. Jaka doesn't know his name yet. But he had observed the girl four days ago. Jaka likes it, and he hopes to get it. Not just daydreaming.
But what is the power, Jaka's mentality is not as strong as his desire. Every day he could only count the words in his head as follows ...
"Acquaintance. No. Acquaintance. No. Acquaintance. No ... "That certainly will lead to no words.

The second corner is located near a mountain cypress. About twenty meters to the left of the first corner, and still close to the road. The second corner was occupied by a twenty-nine-year-old man named Mulya. He is an unemployed victim of corporate dismissal. For about two months he hasn't worked. He was confused. Want to apply for a job, but yesterday he sent his eleventh application this month. And, there hasn't been a single call. Want to open a business, but do not have capital. His wife at home can't possibly continue to rely on the rest of his severance! And, what kind of child who is only three years old will be given hope if the conditions continue like this ?!
Mulya contemplated his fate. He whispered softly, "Yes, God. What should I do? "

The third corner is located in the back corner of the park. Behind, and farthest from the highway. Located in the southwest, and bordering a river that is quite wide and deep. The name of the river is: Brantas River.
The corner is occupied by a girl named Olivia. He is a junior high school student who smells of kencur, who is new to love, and has just felt hurt by love. He cried after feeling betrayed by his girlfriend who also smelled of kencur: Josef.

Olivia who was still unstable wanted to sink herself into Brantas. He was still dark in the eyes, and did not see that his life was long. And, he also did not see that happiness was not only about going out with Josef.
The river current in front of him seemed quite heavy to kill him.

Jaka, Mulya, and Olivia, who were drowning in the darkness of each story, were shocked by a madman named Bejo. Bejo, who only wore tattered clothes, with a dirty face full of scabies, ran around the park. Bejo's behavior made some visitors feel scared and disgusted. Some of the visitors chose to leave the park.
Bejo, with his behavior that might be without common sense, also shouted in Javanese, "How come I got angel. I wae ra know mumet. Your crew is really sane, why is it really mumet! "(How come life is made difficult. I am the one who is not perfect never confuses it. You who are still sane / perfect are even confused!)
