Mom, I Want School
12. THE FIGURE OF AUNT ATI
...✏️✏️✏️...
The scorching heat of the sun this morning was so stinging in my pores not a sting that was so stabbing every layer of skin but the warmth of the heat of the sun that warmed us. The screams of children my age are of course my friends, they ran away from me chasing him while holding a slipper that I would throw at my friends who are now opponents in this game.
This time the game played remains the same as the game a few days ago we played. I got sucked into a little hole in your old one on the edge of a brick kiln. A hole used to hold water so as not to stagnate and destroy dry bricks that are inside a burning place that we call bansal.
All my friends laughed and I just laughed and scratched my non-itchy head. It feels quite embarrassing to fall like this. I laughed with laughter at myself and soon their laughter stopped as I moved back to pursue it.
I shot my finger as hard as I could chasing after Ami who was getting closer to me. I with the attitude of throwing sandals that I hold I don't know who this sandal is that I hold. I threw it as hard as I could trying to land the sandal on Ami.
Pruak!!!
Ami fell on the ground after the sandal hit his back. All my friends laughed and so did I. I held onto my stomach as I laughed out loud while pointing at him who was also laughing, his body still lying on the ground.
I didn't intend to laugh at him just that this was too funny if it should be allowed to pass with a flat facial expression.
"Take care if you want to run!" said Angga who gives advice.
"Look now you've fallen," added me, who laughed afterwards.
The sound of laughter stopped me after hearing the sound of a quarrel between Ririn and Cai. I looked at the two girls pushing each other. Ah, again And again the two men again quarreled with their mouths and physical clashes.
"You stepped on me earlier."
"No, I didn't do it. I just didn't intentionally. Don't you have ears to hear?"
"That means you're stepping on me. You obviously stepped on me."
"Yes I know I've stepped on you but I didn't accidentally."
"You did it on purpose!" he screamed so loud.
"No, I didn't accidentally" he asked again.
Long enough they clashed their mouths and pushed each other until Ririn who had a smaller body compared to Cai who had a larger posture was even knocked to the ground. Ririn fell to her knees until she hit the surface of the rough rocks quite hard. She screamed, crying, looking up at the wide ceiling with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Ririn screamed more and more as fresh blood came out from the torn skin on her knee, her legs were bleeding I could see that.
"Why is that?"
The sound of a female voice screaming made me and Angga and also with others turned to look at the figure of a woman aged around 20 years who is the older brother of Cai.
He was seen propping up his waist and stopping his work activities while settling towards us.
"They were fighting," Ami fought so very honestly while pointing towards Ririn and Cai.
"It wasn't my fault, he stepped on my foot first" defended Cai before he was actually blamed.
"But I didn't mean it" said Ririn, who was still accompanied by crying.
"Stop crying!" pinta Abang Nur's.
Not even obeying the orders of Nur's sister, Ririn even added to the tone of her crying voice to make Nur's sister appear to round her eyes.
"Stop that sound of your crying otherwise I'll hit you!" threaten him while reaching for a wood not far from him.
Not caring about it, I was even scared to hear it but Ririn, the girl who really likes to cry even raised the tone of her crying voice to make her brother Nur step towards us while carrying a wood to make me, Angga, Ami immediately ran while Cai quickly came running but his steps stopped when Ririn tried to get up from the ground I stopped my steps could not bear to see the two figures who had been almost approached by Nur's sister.
One thing that amazed me from the two people, Cai and Ririn even though they always fight but still they do not want to see one of them there was beaten by Nur's sister.
Cai is seen running towards Ririn and helping her nephew to get up from the ground and run even though Ririn's footsteps look limp.
I saw the figure of Nur's sister who was now laughing and to be honest the 20-year-old woman was not completely angry, she was just threatening and did not fully want to really hit. The incident where Cai and Ririn who ran with limping legs made their laughter.
Here not only there is Nur's sister but there are both Nur's parents and also her 18-year-old sister.
Nur's sister is a woman who is now studying in the nursing department while Har's sister is now studying in accounting. I salute aunty Ati, the mother of Cai who has sent her two children high school despite only having a job that people think is quite hard and so tiring.
Do you want to hear an explanation or story about Auntie Ati? The woman who always gave me fish when her son-in-law had come back from fishing on the high seas.
Yes, maybe you will be interested but hopefully the figure of Aunt can be an example for everyone. I sometimes daydream about the activity of the middle-aged woman, she is a woman who is really tough because she has sent two children at once.
It doesn't seem like it's easy enough, and even harder, and I've heard that paying for college is very expensive.
Now I believe in the words of the mother if school is not an easy thing because I see the picture of the distress in the figure of aunty ati. A large field almost full every day filled with bricks that are still wet with the reason for the salary he got a lot and it was all so that he could finish college his two daughters.
Quite amazed me at the figure of Aunty or even my admiration always appears every day when looking at them. There may be many people who feel tired at work but not at the figure of the woman. If only I had a mother like Auntie ati maybe I had gone to school like Ririn and Cai but God had sent me on a figure that looked so heavy to send her son to school.
