Criating... Criating... Kriii


The sound of alarms from the alarm clock that was placed on the study table in Andini's room sounded so loud, breaking the silence of Andini's room. The alarm shows four o'clock in the morning that every morning always wake up Andini.


Rushing Andini got up and headed to the bathroom to wash her face to relieve her drowsiness. Andini rushed to take a broom and swept the entire room of her house without a single corner being missed. Andini then gnawed the mop and water into the bucket.


That is the habit of Andini every morning before leaving school. He always helped his mother as much as he could. After finishing, Andini took a towel and cleaned his body without caring about the cold water like ice in the morning. Because after bathing Andini will feel his body fresh and not feel cold anymore.


Salamah's mother was in front of the stove cooking water with her husband. After Andini came out of the bathroom, Mr. Husein went up from beside Ms. Salamah and grabbed a towel that had been hung on the dining table chair in the kitchen.


"Mih, Dini want to leave early so as not to rush the road. Like cape pas nyampe school Mih if the way is spit."


Andini approached Salamah's mother who was still in the kitchen preparing warm sweet tea for her husband and just turned to look at Andini who was ready with a uniform and a black bag on her back.


Andini sat on the dining table chair, there was ready warm fried rice made by her mother. Andini ate up a plate of fried rice that has become his favorite food. Salamah's mother gave her daughter some money that she gave every morning as school supplies.


"Just leave now Mih.. Moor." Andini said goodbye to Mimih and Pipihnya, after kissing the back of the hands of her parents Andini said hello.


"Getishalight." The mother of Salamah and Mr. Husein looked at the back of his daughter who walked further away leaving the two of them standing in front of the porch.


After Andini did not look they both returned to the kitchen. Mr. Husein grabbed his garden clothes and after being ready with his work clothes Pa Husein pampit then left. While the mother Salamah as usual struggled in the kitchen to prepare food to be delivered to the plantation.


TENGS...TENGS...TENGS


The school entrance bell has rung, all students scatter into their respective classes.


"Mr Diiin! Shouted Rima from the front of the school gate.


Andini is still one meter outside the gate running gontay half dreamy.


"Din!" Rima rushed over to his friend and pulled Andini's hand to speed up his steps.


"Yepam!"


Andini half ran behind Rima who kept pulling her hand.


"Cepet ih, your path is very slow Din. The bell entered from earlier. You stand in front of the class."


Hearing Rima who reminded her of her homeroom sentence if there were students who had entered the class late, managed to make Andini run after Rima.


"You Andiniiii Huseeiiiin!


Shouted Rima a little annoyed towards her best friend. Rima also ran after Andini who seemed to not care about it. Andini suddenly stopped waiting for Rima and grabbed her best friend's hand.


"Rim, ah you make me wait for your run it's slow tauuu. Ayooo, I don't want to sit down by myself and watch you stand on the teacher's desk."


"Ga's wrong!" Rima pout


Andini laughed at her pouting best friend and then held her best friend's shoulder.


"Thank you Rim, you've been waiting for me. You are the best friend."


"You are also Din, always waiting too if I am late." Rima returned the smile of her best friend.


After the break went off as usual Andini and Rima mingled with her friends to the cafeteria. They buy baso fried tofu to prop up his stomach before filling the rice after school at 1 pm.


The break is still about 10 minutes away. Andini and Rima always head to the school library to wait for the bell to ring again, the break hour mark has been completed. This time they were just sitting in a chair that was in front of the school library.


"Din, how's home?" Rima changed the position of his chair facing Rima.


Ctr...Ctrk..


Rima took a ballpoint from the hands of Andini who had been in the mainin Andini.


"Din!" Rima patted Andini's thighs pretty hard


"Rimaaa's Pain."


"Eat him a short story, I'm curious." Rima ignored Andini's bulging eyes because she felt her thigh pain was patted hard by her best friend.


"On Mimih Pipihku..." Andini half asked and looked at Rima.


Rima nodded. "Yes, about your soul mate is Din." continued Rima so curious.


"It's not sure Rim." Andini is sad


He was back in his ears when he called a young widow. "Ga. Can't do. I don't want to be a young widow." Andini spoke to herself


"You're even daydreaming makes me worry." Rima again shifted her seat until her knees collided with Andini's knees.


"Yes Rim is not sure. You see, yesterday Mimih said he wanted to talk first with Pipih. If Pipih agrees yes I can continue school. Even though Mimih has supported me a little, Mimih can't stop before talking to Pipih." Clearly Andini while bowed held the clear fur in the corner of his eyes so as not to fall


"Teruuus... When did Mimih chat with Pipih you Din."


Andini just shook her head, her chest tight withholding tears. I could no longer open my mouth to talk. Because Andini knew very little he opened his mouth to continue what he felt. Andini will not be able to hold back her tears. Andini did not want her school friends to know that her parents were trying to match her with a man whom you did not know at all. Andini would definitely be very embarrassed if her friends knew that.


Seeing her best friend so sad, Rima did not force Andini to continue telling stories. Rima holds the hands of her best friend trying to support and strengthen Andini's heart.


They just sat quietly without a single word said from the two.


Rima who felt the sadness of her best friend was trying to find a way to make Andini cheerful and a little forget the problems she was facing.


"Din." Rima moved and looked at Andini


"There is gossip but real Din." continued Rima still staring at the face of his best friend.


"What mean.. Gossip but real."


Andini frowned. Instantly, a curious look on what his best friend said. It made Rima smile in her heart. He felt that he had managed to divert Andini's mind so as not to continue to grieve.


"You want to know Din."


Andini nodded


"You sure want to know." Sahut Rima slightly pranked Andini.


"Yes Rima gossip but real what does it mean, let's tell the story not for long." Answer Andini ketus.


"You know or want to know bangett." Rima mocked his best friend who looked very curious. Rima smiled and got up from the chair.


"Rima goes where, don't go. Stories first. Rima Melatiii!


Andini shouted as she got up from the chair she was sitting in and ran after Rima who was far away walking in front of her.


Rima ignored the screams of his best friend. She just smiled and kept going, Andini followed her best friend to class because the school bell had rung.
