Spend The Night At Shelter

At 9.30 pm, he arrived in front of the PN Shelter. The building looked more as a large warehouse than a shelter. For a moment he hesitated to move on, but he had no other choice but to stay here instead of sleeping in front of the shops. It's probably safer here, at least free from police raids that come to pick up homeless. Indeed, it was not every day that the police raid poor people, but recently had often been carried out due to the security situation not so conducive.Praveen dragged his steps towards the entrance of the shelter towards a table near the door. A man in his fifties with a gray mustache and beard sat there like a watchdog."Good night, Uncle." Praveen greeted him. "Can I stay here for a night or two?"The man looked at Praveen probingly. Maybe he didn't expect a young man in neat clothes to come to sleep in the shelter. His appearance was far from shabby like most homeless people"Why do you want to sleep here?""Because I have no place to stay. I just got kicked ou

Welcome To Dharavi (1)

"Make sure everything goes according to the plan. Don't let it go wrong. Wherever she is, make sure someone is stalking her unnoticed. Is that clear?" Narendra Prasadh said to Rajesh."Yes sir! Everyone is ready. I have clearly instructed them.""Is it clear where she placed in Dharavi?""Yes! Even our people are already there.""Good. But don't make it flashy or even revealed. It might all fall apart. If she finds out that everything had been set, it's still better. What I'm worried about is... if the people find out that she's my daughter. Her safety could be in danger." There was still a hint of worry in Narendra Prasadh's words.He knew that placing Zoya in Dharavi was indeed a high risk, especially in terms of safety and security. However, he would not reverse the decision. His daughter needs to get some mental training before taking the CEO seat. In Dharavi her sensitivity would be honed. At least she was more concerned with the working class so that later she would not be arbit

Welcome To Dharavi (2)

"Can you take me to Dharavi?" Zoya asked approaching."Of course!" replied the taxi driver with a big smile. He was a young man with the age of about 29 years. "Use the meter or not?""What is the difference?""If don't use a meter, it's about 200 rupees.""With the meter?""It's a bit expensive, it could be more than 200 rupees," said the taxi driver. He seemed to have memorized the tariff by heart."You don't have to use the meter, then.""Please get in!" the driver let Zoya in.Zoya opened the back door. She put her bag in first and then sit. The taxi immediately moved.Ten minutes Zoya was silent while directing her eyes outside. Her chest thumped a little thinking what she should do there. Obviously she would find lodging first. She knew there were also hotels worth staying for a while before getting rented.The taxi driver occasionally glanced at her through the rearview mirror. Looked like he wanted to talk, but hesitated.He cleared his throat a few times."You live in Dharavi

House Without Toilet

"Is it still far, Anil?" asked Zoya continued to follow the footsteps of Anil, the taxi driver. To be honest, she was starting to feel stifled through the narrow, stuffy, and cramped alley. The smell of curry mingled with the smell of sewers, and the smell of burning plastic bothered her. She wanted to cover her nose but she didn't do it, afraid she would offend the people around. They looked relax. Their noses must had been immune to those smells."About two hundred meters, Miss!" Anil replied looking relaxed. He jumped over a small ditch that was clogged and the water was black. Water pipes were milling over it. Zoya jumped it too. Luckily, she wore low shoes so it didn't obstruct her steps.The alley turned to the right and seemed to be getting narrower. The deeper they walked into the Alley, the houses getting densely and there were many small alleys on both sides. Zoya tried to scan the place and marked it as she was sure, if the driver suddenly run away, she could get lost.She

Handsome Man on The Side Of The Road

Ten minutes later Zoya and Anil were already on their way back to the taxi parked on the side of the road. They followed the path they had taken before. Zoya seemed to be observing the path which was nothing more than an alley. Let alone small cars, motorbikes may not be able to pass by, just for people passing by."What are you looking at, miss?" asked Anil surprised to see Zoya looking around."I want to make sure the alley we passing through so that tomorrow I don't get lost here. It's a bit hard to remember the route.""Really? It's easy!""For people like you who were born and raised here, of course it's easy.""It's still close to the main road, we haven't entered the heart of Dharavi yet. Inside, it's more complicated, there are many small alleys like a maze," said Anil, continuing to walk a little faster. "By the way why did you choose Dharavi as a place to live, Mumbai is so big isn't it?"Zoya was silent, unprepared for Anil's question."At first I thought it would be cheape

Phone Rental

Praveen had been going around looking for the address Auntie Neha gave him, but couldn't find it. From Morning till noon, he was still going around in Dharavi. He even asked people by handing a small piece of paper written by Auntie Neha, all of them shrugged and shook their heads.It was too hard to find. Too many nameless alleys. Too crowded houses, and too many misleading clues. And what annoyed him was many people he asked gave different answers. Some of them pointed to the north, some pointed to the south, and not a few pointed to the east.What a confused! He cursed himself. Did he have to look for the address in all directions?He was getting tired of walking down Dharavi without result. At noon he felt thirsty and hungry. He persisted not to have lunch. But keep looking for. His stomach was smarting to be filled. But he didn't care. If today the address he looking for was not found, he would inevitably return to the PN Shelter to stay overnight. It didn't really matter if stay

Citizen Hotel

With definite steps Praveen headed the Citizen hotel located at 90 Feet Road. The hotel was not far, only about 700 meters from the one he called earlier. He had passed the hotel twice. From a physical point of view, it doesn't look like a hotel. Only a small three-story building and painted orange that has faded. At the front there was also a restaurant. There was a large neon sign in front of the hotel that reads Citizen Hotel & Restaurant. He would wait for the person who would pick him up right in front of the hotel. Praveen hastened his pace even more. He couldn't wait to get there. It was better for him to wait first. *** Zoya received her room key after she registered and checked in right away. Her room was on the second floor number 203. She was a little overwhelmed to climb the stairs because of the bag she carrying. Even though it wasn't that high, her breath was a little ragged when she got to the 2nd floor. Uh, it must be because she's rarely been exercising. While in

Unwanted Job

Raju took Praveen inside the Dharavi through a narrow and winding alley. Throughout the journey he was silent and looked around."It's your first time to Dharavi?" asked Raju."Yes. I'm from Chandrapur.""So you are same origin as Mr. Anand, right?""Yes.""What's your relationship with him?""Nothing. He's just my aunt's friend.""Oh, I thought you are his family from the village."Praveen didn't answer. He continued to follow Raju's steps. Fifteen minutes walking down the narrow alley, they finally arrived.The atmosphere seemed busy in the house that as well as the clothes factory. The house was two floor. Downstairs was production area. Ten people seemed busy working. Some of them were sewing, some other cutting clothes similar to jeans. They just followed the pattern. All seemed to be skilled with the job.Praveen was still standing at the entrance. Raju had returned to his work right away. Praveen was left alone outside without being told to come in.But not long after, a rathe

Gossiping In The Night

After walking around looking at Dharavi's situation, Zoya returned to the hotel. She felt tired, all her joints felt feeble after walking down the row of shops selling various goods. She had marked important places such as clinics, ATMs, restaurants, grocery stores, and so on. It turned out that her worries were baseless. Even though Dharavi was a slum area, but all the places she needs are available there. Of course she didn't go into the alleys leading to central Dharavi . She was afraid to get lost, knowing she was a new comer.Arriving at the hotel it was too late. It was Dusk. She immediately took a shower and rested. She had bought a bag of snacks to accompany her through the night. Tomorrow, she would check out before 2 pm. But she wouldn't wait to long, maybe a bit early, because she had a lot to do.Just finished taking a shower, her phone rang. Ramya's name was on the screen. She immediately answered the call. Just as she said hello, her old friend chimed in."Where are y

Stalking

At 7 am Praveen had started work. He received brief training from Uncle Anand using a sewing machine and sewing pieces of jeans. In a moment, he understood and started sewing. It's not difficult because he just followed the pattern. The material of the pants had been cut.The stocky man repeatedly reminded him to be careful, there was no need to hurry because he wasn't as skilled as the others. Praveen understood that if he were wrong he would have to untie the seams and do it again.He slept curled up all night because the room was small and occupied by 7 people, making him sore that morning. Yes, the workers sleep upstairs. You can imagine a room measuring 3 by 3 meters filled with 7 people. Just like Sardines. Much better at PN Shelter. But he had no other choice. Luckily 3 other workers lived not far away, otherwise 10 people would be more crowded.By 10 am he was getting bored. Only this time he worked just sitting behind the sewing machine, not moving much. Do sewing. Finish one
