Athena
Headed for the afternoon

Athena had just woken up from her sleep when it was late afternoon. There were sounds from outside the house. Athena tidied up her appearance before coming out to see things outside. Apparently many children aged 4 to 8 years when viewed. Wildan was seen playing marbles with some boys. While the girls are seen playing cooking using coconut skin.

"Haloo" said Athena to the girls.

"His brother is awake" said one of the girls.

"Hello brother" greet them together.

There was even one child, about two years old.

"His sister is very small. Are you allowed to play with your mom?" ask Athena.

"He's here with his brother, brother. Her brother was playing marbles" replied one of the children whose hair was scraped.

"That's funny" Athena pinched the cheek of the youngest child.

The boy just chuckled at the rabbit's teeth.

"You guys always play here?" ask Athena.

"No, sis. But I met Kevin at school, told him to play here" replied the girl whose dress was pink.

"Wildan, did Kevin go to school?" ask Athena.

"Yes, The." replied Wildan then resumed his game.

"What class are you in?" ask Athena.

"Class 3 SD"

"Class 2 SD"

"Class 1 SD"

"Well, on a pinter pinter all" Athena clapped her hands.

Ting Ting Ting ting

A sound of a spoon being hit onto a plate sounded.

"Masss" cried the children.

They scatter, race to a motorcycle that looks to sell something.

The motor stopped in front of the house that Athena was staying in for a while.

"My mother's 2 grand"

"Me too"

"I'm 3 grand"

"I'm 5 thousand divided in two"

"Crowded people?" ask Raga who just came out of nowhere.

"A lot of bocil oii" exclaimed Darren delighted.

"So he said he asked Kevin to come here" replied Athena.

The youngest child was not standing from his seat, still busy stirring leaves that were cut thinly like noodles.

"Sir?" asked Athena while stroking the sister's head.

"Wait for my sister" he replied.

"Whose name is dear?"

"Ayla" replied the little boy.

"La, this" a boy came, gave a little plastic snack to his sister.

"Maaci kak" said Ayla receiving snacks from her sister.

"That's what?" ask Athena.

"Somai kak, there is a seasoning of nuts, dikasambel also soy sauce, mantep bener" replied the child whose hair was scraped earlier.

Athena checked her pants.

"If 5 thousand is not much?" ask Athena.

"A lot of it, brother. The plastic can be full" replied the pink dress.

"Wait a moment well, brother buy first. It looks good" said Athena.

It turns out that Wildan, Darren, Raga, Eros and Kevin are already engrossed in eating with the boys.

"The snack too?" ask Kevin

Athena nodded.

"Son it looks like" he answered.

Athena ordered, without soy sauce. Only somai covered with peanut sauce is also a red sauce.

"The, Lo wake up?" ask Darren.

"Well, how?"

"That's, mostly. Entar Lo has a stomachache" pointed Wildan.

Athena chuckles.

"I often do" he said.

Athena passed by, she walked towards the group of girls.

"Well, got a red-red brother"

"Mama's words can't eat a lot of sambel, later the stomach hurts"

Athena grimaced to hear the words of the sisters in front of her.

"And my brother is already big, his digestion is more stable. But tomorrow-tomorrow not this bike really" promised Athena.

Unlike other sellers who use skewers, the seller was kind enough to give a small plastic spoon to make it safer.

"Like my brother" they answered simultaneously.

"His daily display?" ask Athena.

They nodded.

"Your mama's not angry?"

They're shaken.

"So the snack used the rest of the school's allowance" replied one of them.

"Embang to school in love how much?" ask Athena.

"5 thousand" they answered compactly.

"Lho, is it all 5 grand?" ask Athena.

They nodded, except for Ayla.

Five 5. What's he got in town A?

"Your school is far away?" ask Athena.

"No. Near the fork there"

Triumphant? It's about 2 kilometers from here.

"You guys delivered?"

"Streetings are the same" replied the one whose hair was scraped off.

"Great you" said Athena gladly.

In the past, when Athena was like them, she did not even need to feel tired of walking for the sake of studying. Every day his Daddy will pick him up, or if he doesn't have time, then Min will replace his Daddy.

The dark will say hello.

"Sister, we go home first. See you tomorrow" they say.

Athena waved her hand.

"Ayla, let's go home" call the boys.

Ayla stretched out her hand, asking to be carried.

Ayla's sister crouches down in front of Ayla, asking Ayla to carry her back.

"Bad brother" said the little boy.

"He's beautiful. Careful well carry her sister" Athena's message.

"Ready, brother" said the boy.

Brother's affection for sister is not to be doubted. Athena was the first child. Athena saw Ayla's departure, until it got smaller.

"Well remember his sister?" ask Raga who has no idea where she came from. He sat on the long bench in front of the house.

Athena nodded, then shook her head.

"Let's remember sister, but want to have a sister too" replied Athena.

"Lo's the first kid?"

Athena nodded.

"It's still better Lo, Lo has a sister. I don't even have another brother."

"You're an only child?"

Raga nodded.

"Sepi sure." guess Athena.

"Sepi, so that they feel at home friends with them" pointed Raga at his friends who sit in the bamboo gasebo.

Athena chuckles.

"Call the others in. It's night." tell Athena.

Athena went into the house first. He cooks rice, then fries tofu and makes sambel.

At 7, everything is ready. They then had dinner.

"Back of stomach I can one pack" said Kevin.

"Hooh, I feel like eating at home" said Darren agreed.

"Where is the gym far away anyway" Wildan lamented.

Athena chuckled at her friend's complaint. He loved his cooking liked by them. It's only their third day here, still 87 days left.

"Thankful our team has women, can cook anyway. At least we're not hungry, not drunk every meal. Go home later, you can do the gym as much as possible" said Eros.

"Ready, Mr. Eros" compact Kevin, Darren and Wildan.

Athena lifts the dirty dishes into the kitchen. He'll wash it off in the morning. The water is cold, always cold.

"Eros, can we not be happy for the children earlier?" ask Kevin.

"Where?" ask Eros.

"So I accidentally met their teacher at school when I went to the village hall. His teacher asked me if I was a student, right? I keep answering I'm still a student. Although he knew I was still a student, he asked for help to ngadain bimbel children around here. He is confident in our qualities, but his teacher knows that we are still high school children" explained Kevin.

Eros sees all his friends in turn.

"By the tuh" cried Wildan.

"Our time is quite free. No need every day, at least 2 times a week" said Raga.

"Judek. Every Thursday and Saturday afternoon" break up Eros.

They clapped. At least there are other activities they can do.
