In Kanak-Kanak Park that morning, there were two young mothers waiting for their children to pass the first day of school. Actually, maybe Anaya can go back home. However, considering the first day of school was an important day for Citra, then Anaya decided to wait there. After all, the school gives permission to parents to be able to accompany children for up to two weeks. After that, all children must be left behind and trained to be independent in learning.
"The image of the school, I'm the deg-degan," said Anaya now.
Khaira who sat beside Anaya smiled. "Yang school his son, who deg-degan mama well .. I used to be Syilla who school is also like that. Syilla's at school, I'm the deg-degan. At that time, Mas Radit was on leave because he wanted to enjoy the first moment of school children" Khaira told Anaya.
"The first experience of nyekolahin children yes Kak .. so it feels stubborn. This was also Mas Tama want a real vacation. However, many jobs are in his office and there is a maintanance of the company's website. So, I said the Papa was working" Anaya later told me.
"Sama .. earlier Mas Radit wanted a leave of absence, but this is an auditing report in his company, so well had to work. Yes, let the Papa work, and the Mama wait for Shaka," Khaira replied.
Actually last night Tama had spoken with Anaya about her desire to leave and wait for Citra on her school day. However, due to the large number of jobs, Tama also can not leave. Anaya did not mind either. After all, later when at home it is certain Citra will also tell a long story to her Papa.
"At Shaka's house closer to his mother or his father?" ask Anaya then to Khaira.
"Shaka is closer to me. That Syilla was Papa's son. Very close to her Papa. Yes, it is true that people say that the daughter belongs to her father. So, already looks from small just as his Papa nempelan only. Shaka was a real draw, but he's a lot closer to his mom. Imagery too? More of Papa's son?" ask Khaira.
Anaya quickly shook her head. "Partner is closer to me. From small. Yes, the same Papa is close, but usually at home he is nothing little to call Mama, and also sometimes ask me time with Mama," Anaya replied.
After that, both of them laughed. Sometimes the kids at home are so funny. Some are typical of Papa's children, some are typical of Mama's children. However, children have their own characteristics. That is what makes a child unique.
The first hour of waiting for school children to pass. However, in the second hour. There was Miss Lusi who came down and looked for her parents Citra.
"The name is Citra" call Miss Lusi.
Anaya stood up and walked over with Miss Lusi. "Yes, Miss ... What's wrong?" tanyakanya.
"This is Ma'am ... Imagery crying. Can you please calm down? Looking for her Mama" said Miss Lusi.
Anaya also boarded the class on the third floor and she saw Citra crying. Although there is Arshaka who holds his shoulder as if to calm Citra, but in fact Citra is still crying until a hiccup.
"Why Nak?" ask Anaya slowly.
"Fear, Auntie ... does not want to come forward for acquaintances," said Arshaka who seemed to be a spokesman for Citra.
Anaya also smiled at the behavior of Citra and Arshaka there. Then Arshaka spoke to Anaya. "Shaka was friends earlier Auntie ... Her image wept looking for her Mama" Arshaka replied again.
"Thank you Shaka" replied Anaya.
The little boy nodded his head. "Yes, Aunt Anaya," he replied.
Then Anaya invited Citra to come out first and calm her daughter. "Why is Citra crying? There are a lot of friends. There's Shaka too, right?" ask Anaya slowly.
"What makes the image afraid?" ask Anaya again.
"Don't want to come forward to acquaintance and sing" he replied.
This time Anaya smiled. The answer given by the image sounds funny. But that is how children are. The first day that has been prepared well from home, giving encouragement to children. Sometimes hope is not in accordance with reality. The image that is usually smart and confident, now just crying like this.
"Kan Kak Citra Pinter at home is brave and confident. Why did school win?" ask Anaya again.
"Conscious friends" he replied.
Again, this is a funny answer. However, there is also a point if stared at by new people can make a child feel uncomfortable and also feel insecure. New environment and new friends. Of the 25 students in his class, which Citra knows now is only Arshaka, maybe it is also what makes Citra cry because of fear and not confidence.
"Yes already, it's gone back inside well. Don'tbeafraid. There is a Miss. There is also Shaka who saw Citra from the classroom. If Citra is embarrassed and not confident, see Shaka aja, Citra's friend. Okay?"
Anaya gave such advice to Citra. If you feel afraid and not confident, Citra can turn her eyes to people she already knows. In that class, there was Arshaka as a person who Citra already knew.
"Yes Ma" he replied.
After Citra's cry somewhat subsided, then Anaya delivered Citra to re-enter the classroom there was Shaka who had run to Citra.
"Learn again yeah," asked Shaka.
"Yes," Citra said softly.
"Yuk," Shaka asked Citra.
Anaya smiled, hopefully Citra can get through today well. After Citra cried, apparently there were some other students who cried and seemed soothed by Mama. Afterwards, Anaya went back downstairs and sat down beside Khaira again.
"Why is it his image?" ask Khaira to Anaya.
"Had she ... asked to come forward for introductions and singing. He said he was looking at his friends. It's new, he's not used to it, and in class nothing is known, only Shaka is known" Anaya replies.
"It's okay. A lot happened on the first day of school. We parents need to support the child and raise his spirit. Slowly get used to it and be friends with everyone" Khaira replied.
"True Kak .. It's okay. The first day of school was hard, but at least Citra had tried."
There are countless things that can happen on the first day of school. The child loses his confidence and feels something else that scares him.
