A Mate In God's Hands, Love Is Hard to Let Go
selection 1
dawn breaks, morning greet aunt nena still at home help nena camping needs for 3 days uncle nena has left first to the market to trade, aunty stay and will follow soon, soon, nena woke up earlier than usual at 5 a.m, nena woke up half 4 am with her uncle and aunt she prepared her own equipment and needs at times in the help of her aunt because her aunt also helped uncle who would go to the market first.
finished packing and checking elen who was also finished preparing, they waited for an invitation from the school. While waiting for them to talk for a while "el you bring anything"' asked nena looking up to face elen while looking at the luggage of elen.
"oh, it's just like you" said Elen briefly.
suddenly the aunt called nena "because everything is ready and your pickup car is already heading here, let's get ready baby".
aunt Nena loved him so much to treat nena like her real child she always prepared her needs at a time like this.
"this is your pocket money for a few days in the camp, do not hesitate to snack, for example, buy what you want to buy your provisions are in the black bag if there is time aunt will see you at the camp okay?"said aunt while giving some money sheet,
"alright bi, thank you aunt can leave the car the tub has arrived" while greeting her aunt.
"please be careful, do not hesitate to snack if you end up telling aunty through your teacher well, later aunty comes with uncle" aunt commemorates nena, nena, because he knows that nena is a very frugal child and very hesitant to spend his allowance, as long as he is not too hungry or thirsty he will not snack, he said, as long as he could hold it, he would not buy anything. That's the nena who doesn't like to waste money even though her aunt often gives her more money, she prefers to save, she just has her own savings account, by collecting the remaining pocket money for a week plus the money given by the bikinah for helping him in the canteen sekola, well after a break nena will immediately help make this serve the buyer in his canteen such as preparing dishes and washing dishes he will only eat a fritters and drink a glass of water and then immediately help make this happen, he felt that he had breakfast from home so there was no need to snack on food in the cafeteria, sometimes his pocket money would not be reduced in addition to a little money from making this because wages helped him, sometimes, bik inah is very happy because it is helped by nena who in fact is a diligent child, all teachers love him even though the school where he has education includes the elite although not as elite as SD chrysanthemum, chrysanthemum, at first many children who bullied him over time they no longer dare because many teachers protect him, even now there are some children who follow in his footsteps but work in other canteens they are happy because they can get additional snacks, he said, just entered 2 years he attended school in SD jasmine has been made an exemplary student because smart, diligent and hardworking. Bik inah pay based on the number of students and who eat in the cafeteria if many it will be more if less then only mediocre also given especially when the school held a meeting with the guardian automatic school students will increase the number of wages automatically increase, especially when meeting with the guardian automatic students will not learn during a certain time as long as he will help. nena very rarely plays with her peers during school, she will play after arriving at the house after finishing her duties at home. The nena savings book is already pretty much in it.
....
after finishing loading the goods nena and elen will go up to the open tub car but suddenly there is a car that stopped in front of their tub car, and it turns out it was a bryan car.
bryan immediately rushed down from his car and offered a ride to nena and elen "nena, you guys join brother's car just so happen to be brother also want to go to the camp site".
"do not let us just ride this car with our friends" replied nena politely.
but Bryan did not give up he immediately spoke to the escort teacher who escorted the students "sir agus let nena same elen come with me, sir? kan-sama going to my camp is quite saturated sitting alone".
mr. Agus was a bit dumbfounded then "ah well, it's okay. nena elen you guys just come along anyway this car is a bit crowded".
bryan was happy not to play because Pak agus wanted to help him to join his car "yes, no matter how it was too hot to ride the open tub like that" with a rather pleading face, finally, he collapsed and invited elen to get into a bryan car. "elen let's just ride here" while holding his best friend.
"alright" elen followed happily because there was no need for heat in the open tub car.
flashbacks..
bryan bengong staring at his urine equipment that has been packed in the car, suddenly senses call him "bro, I think I came a little afternoon because want to look at my grandmother first to the hospital you first aje, like, we're not all cars anyway, okay?".
bryan sighed "huft, alright". Bryan sat down for a while to check the names of the students he was going to be accompanying, read the whole thing he suddenly stopped at one name is SELENA ADILA, he smiled and muttered "how are you little girl" while imagining a face that she thought was very beautiful was also sweet "let's say you're already a bit big, like my underclassman or maybe a sibling with me must be nice" then shook her head "oh, what the hell was the time to like little girls".
from inside the house there was the sound of meiling "sister, I'm coming with you well, I also want selection".
"no ah, your luggage is a lot of fervent own car where your driver, besides brother there is still a little business" then melengos go.
bryan drove the car at medium speed suddenly passed a car with a banner SD rose group, a car with a rose, then remember he also turned back his car that almost arrived at the campground at full speed like a person in a hurry "hopefully still had time". When he wanted to be close to the location of the house he saw a car like carrying nena and elen goods and immediately wanted to walk, he hurriedly stopped him.
the flash back end..
...
in the car ride was very quiet, before long elen started a conversation because the trip would be quite far "sister, why did you pick us up?" elen asked curiously just listening while looking to the side. With a reddened face held in shame bryan replied "ah, not to pick you up just by chance brother there is business near here because it happens to pass by and sister see you have not left as well so brother nawarin a ride rather than hot and narrow-narrow mending here right dah that lazy brother just himself no friends chat" while glancing nena through the mirror with deg-degan worried nena not believe. Indeed in the heart of not believing "what the fuck, obviously deliberately picked up still ngelak, boong bangat anyway" but the word was held unable to be expressed, can not be expressed, because nena was grateful not to need heat in the open tub although a bit selfish but at times this is not papa he was tired from the morning blind had to wake up wanting to sleep even if only briefly in the car here, he soon fell asleep. Elen who saw his best friend sleep intent to wake up but stopped bryan "do not look like he is sleepy" while removing a small ball-shaped pillow from the dashboard to support the neck, he stopped the car for a while and propped up his neck carefully in fear of waking up, elen who was looking just stared in wonder and bewilderment but not in wonder.
bryan who saw nena sleeping with a face that looked rather tired then asked elen "elen why could he be sleepy and tired like that? like people just staying up".
elen also told me about why nena can sleepy "how not sleepy brother, yesterday after school he did not nap, naga, directly prepare the equipment that will be brought today such as packing clothes and equipment and it takes up to 3 pm because quite a lot, because it is quite a lot, my mother who helped me pack my stuff can take up to 2 hours more especially nena who packs herself, after packing she does her schoolwork to be left to friends handed over to the teacher, our schoolwork was pretty much finished about 1 hour because he also helped me explain what I did not understand until he could do his own job would not be for at least 15 minutes because the guy is very clever, I am friends with him he is very lucky I was only ranked 10 or 11 even up to rank 15, after he moved to my school he always did the work with me what I did not understand he helped explain in school also I was lazy to learn so like to learn because he taught me in a way which is very easy to understand until now my rank rose up to rank 4 can even be 3, he said, many were amazed he was just a new student can champion 1 even the value is very high up to rank 1 general in the school. After doing chores with him, he immediately cleaned the house like a mop and mopped about until 5 pm his work ran out of it once his aunt and uncle came home he immediately helped tidy up his luggage and washed it did not feel it was dark he hurried to take a shower immediately folded clothes that his aunt washed until 8 pm was over dinner, dinner, finished that he helped prepare the sales materials of his uncle and aunt because quite a lot until the completion of the new 10pm he slept, he slept, still about half 4 in the morning he had woken up to prepare the merchandise that will be brought even though he usually woke up at 5 am, because he will also pack what will be brought to the campground, his aunt could not help because he was cooking for food and his uncle was even more busy preparing merchandise. Later all he just took a shower at 6 am, sleepy no, I'll wake up later at half 7 am" explained elen at length wide who was proud and concerned about his best friend.
bryan was stunned as he glanced at the sleeping nena he was so amazed how could such a small child do it all, was it strong? How can he, he might not be able to but it was all stuck in his heart, his heart seemed to be sliced to hear the elen explanation of nena activities, then asked "is she strong with all that she's just a little girl?".
elen answered proudly "sister, because it was a strong person he woke up at 5 a.m., before leaving school his activities were many, he said, even at school he will help make a stay in the cafeteria to serve buyers as long as the entrance bell has not sounded". Bryan flinched "huh, why did he help the canteen mom?"
"well he's looking for extra snacks, brother, he will help make this before the same morning apple at rest or empty hours, so this will give him a wage" replied Elen with a smile.
bryan was confused "is his aunt not giving him a snack?".
"love, even good enough in my opinion" elen looked up explained.
bryan is confused "continue to do work again, is he not playing that same thing you guys?".
"at school he won't play, he plays unless there is time at home, if he closes for some reason he will just read books and repeat lessons. At school often he brought supplies from home very rarely see my snacks that royal children can count so frugal thanks to the same management he, he said, his pocket money is stored in trus added which from this so quite another child his money runs out of school has he even increased" replied Elen.
"what does the money do?" bryan asked confusedly.
"make in the tube kak make moreover, you see him once he already has a savings account that his aunt helped take care of, you see, he already has a savings account, every once a week he deposits savings from the proceeds of snacking the same pocket money wages from the bik thisah and that's quite a lot, it's a lot, the pocket money that his aunt loved every day was twenty thousand rupiah because the canteen food cost ten thousand drink five thousand, the rest is for other snacks, the rest is for other snacks, the wages of this bik are different if it is quiet sometimes only 25 thousand if many until 50 thousand especially if there is a meeting of parents of students can be 100 thousand wages try to add-up to 400 thousand more income a week, especially if there is a meeting of parents of students can be 100 thousand, holiday he will help his aunt in the market and will be given a wage of up to 50 thousand do not enter the pocket money even though he does not want to thank because he helped just because thank you for being helped school, her aunt always pushers, her, every Monday afternoon he will deposit to the bank accompanied by his aunt for example, which will be deposited only 230 thousand will be added by his aunt so 300 as well as if 300 more will definitely be rounded up to 400 and so on I often follow them to the bank and well the savings and a lot I was envious until yesterday I opened my own account asking papa help fill hehe...?".
bryan was very very very surprised how there could be such a child well "continue his parents did not send that money?" search bryan.
"there is a brother, well but behind ama nena and that was added to him because he knew his parents were difficult, because, because there is no point in sending his parents just send him rice as foodstuff from their garden, aunt and uncle are happy with it, you know he did not buy the same school supplies. Great right?" elen asked bryan, bryan just nodded.
bryan was silent, in his heart was very admiring the figure of nena who worked hard and loved his parents, his heart was not because he felt crazy because he had admired the figure of a little girl, in silence he was dreaming "if he were my soul mate I would make him happy, wouldn't let him work that hard" he sighed deeply and then let go, in order to reduce the tightness that squeezes the chest listening to the words of elen about nena is very amazing.
...
it was not as if their journey had reached their destination.
