ISHIHARA (Blind Color-Real Story)
The Ocean of Light

Late August 2005

No need for that sedan

I am an animal ******

From his group of outcasts

Let the bullet go through my skin

I remained inflamed crashing

Wound and I can take him running

Run

Until the sad fairy disappeared

(My Poetry, Chairil Anwar - March 1943)

Unlike the raindrops that will surely stop, time never runs out. Time keeps moving

leave the old sheets of life. Then enter a new destiny sheet every day. Never stop until death comes, for that man can not be silent, must move on with time. Even time forces footsteps to run.

I ran away leaving behind all the memories. As my father said, School in city High School means starting a new life. There will be a lot of things that have changed in my life. Change as disc size changes

the sun always seems bigger in the morning and then shrinks by noon. The morning sun is visible in the path of two small towns.

Oplet tray two small towns always pass my crossroads in the morning. When

be late for a while, then I must be missing. No more vehicles after that. I must be late. For that I have to stand by the road,

wearing a gray-white uniform, waiting in the company of dew scattered by the first beam of sunlight, so as not to miss the path of the two small towns.

In the path of those two small towns, I often paid attention to life. There was a Father

craft sellers know, gura aren and all sorts of things. He always hoped that what he brought out was sold out in Kuantan Bay City today, for the sake of his children. There is also a group of vegetable selling mothers who always tell stories

economic pressures are squeezing the foundation of their income. There was also a middle-aged man who blew cigarette smoke every morning. The smoke came out the window where I was sitting. I sat on the edge, near his path

the air so that the cigarette smoke spread to my head, half an hour more I felt smoked. But that smoker guy I only see occasionally in the oplet. I

I'd rather not have him.

In the middle of Slow Rock music, the car drove softly. I've always heard vegetable-seller moms complain about rising prices of staples by

BBM subsidy cuts. One of them asked about the new Mr President's tenure, “ How much longer ?”

How long again.

Yep. How long I'll finish High School. Despite all the hardships and hardships, to enjoy the hard work so far. When I go to school, the high school boy in my village is just about to take a shower. When I came home, when I got in front of the door, always the high school boy in my village had gone back and forth to play. They're wandering

enjoying their teenage years. While I was unable to, I took a break from recovering after nine hours at school, receiving lessons with the added energy of a plate of barreling. On Sunday, the high school boy in my village is on vacation. I actually help my father and mother, we collect rubber leads, for tuition to school. At other times, I prepared a task-task

schoolwork. Automatically, I only had a little time to play, socialize with the high school boys in my village. It's true my father said that there will be a lot of things that have changed in my life.

How long I'm going to go to college, learn just the lessons I like, biology, physics and chemistry, science. Learn to draw wisdom on what God shows in nature, like the sun disc I saw from the two-city oplet tray. When the oplet crossed the road on the side

the swamps that stretched, at the end of those swamps the morning sun had been born perfect. The sun's circle has appeared round intact. The size of the morning sun is greater than the sun during the day. But the morning sunlight is warm with enthusiasm while the sun is right at noon more blistering.

I don't know why the sun's disk is so much bigger in the morning than it is in the afternoon.

Just as I do not know why in the soul of man there is kept one evil, persecuting others, without consideration of compassion.

As a child, from my grandfather. I've heard stories about an ocean. In that heaven there is an ocean more beautiful than any ocean on this earth. The sea is called Arrahman, the sea of love, to see the ocean we must be good human beings.

Sports lessons are conducted by several classes in the school field. Today there are three classes

who coincidentally had a schedule of sports lessons at the same time. The school field looks crowded by students who are exercising. The sport starts with a warm-up, which is stretching exercises that are continued running

around field. After that Mr. Guru gave the materials of Penjaskesrek Learning, then,

When the Master has finished delivering the material, the children can play

vollly or play basketball on the court.

For children who do not have a place to play can watch, rest, or chat under a tree on the side of the field during teacher supervision.

I heard the chatter of a 3rd grader under a tree, which happened to be us under the same tree. I can conclude that they are talking about life after high school, college or work. There was something interesting from their chat, about a gift from the oil company in Riau. The gift is

scholarships awarded to third-graders with the best grades. A darmasiswa, free education with guaranteed work in the oil company

those.

I know for sure no one saw that a lamp had been burning brightly in the corner of my head.

Oil is expensive, an increase in oil prices of two thousand rupiah can horrendous news in a country as rich as Indonesia. Price hike

oil can raise other prices. Of course, working in an oil company is a good future life, has the guarantee to live a happy, happy mother and father. Working in the oil company will

have money that can replace all the effort of mother sacrifice in finding tuition fees. Therefore I approached the group of third-graders to ask.

“Sorry Bang, scholarship from oil company?” My broom.

“Oh okay, Ya”

“What is Bang ?” Asking back.

“A scholarship granted by the largest oil company in the province to a child with

best value, you should be number one”

“Not only that dik “ Add others.

“Oh yes, let alone Sister ?”

I asked the woman next to him.

“To follow the selection, you must become a general champion at the end of the semester in third grade, at least three general champion”

“After it can ?”

“Not yet, will be tested again to be one school representative, the best among the three people it”

“After it can ?”

“Not to mention, after becoming a school representative you have to take the test again at the district level,

beat the children of other High School districts, the lowest ranked fifth.”

“Five people from each district, they are the ones who will follow the quarantine by the oil company to receive the scholarship amount”

“This is the process so far Bang ?”

“For success is not as easy as turning the palm instead ?”

“Iya definitely “ I agree.

“Guaranteeing education and working from oil companies is something great. We'll be successful, though,

have enough money even more.” My class brother explained more.

“For parents, and a loved one ..” Add my upperclassman. When he uttered

the word love, his voice sounded deep. Indeed, we must have a guarantee of life, a cool job to earn money, in order to provide convenience and happiness for anyone

the one we love.

Then the break bell rang. Our conversation has stopped. My class brother left too. I fell silent

think. In my mind, being one in three, then being one in five, which means being three in two hundred more then being five out of all the third-graders in the Kuantan Valley.

Later.
