Mom, I Want School
13. IMPACT OF REGISTERING NEXT YEAR

...✏️✏️✏️...

I exhaled a breath of tightness in the chest after running far enough sweat managed to decay down soaked my forehead and all over my body with my eyes that had been drained with sweat water then I glanced at the figure of Angga, looking at the figure of Angga, Ami, Cai and Ririn.

After the incident we all decided to be on a dike, yes, the embankment is a place where we always spend time staring at the high mountain area and also the swift flow of rivers and trucks carrying sand and stones that every day pacing.

The simple thing was as if to be an entertainer to release fatigue after playing plus we were also quite tired after running from the rampage of the real sister Nur and not completely angry he was just threatening in a joke using wood.

"See the water there!" pointing Angga made us all look at a surface of water looks green because of the reflection of large trees on it.

"Did you all see that river?" angga asked us and was replied with a nod by me, Ami, Cai and Ririn who this time really looked so excited.

"My father said the place was very sacred because the former sand excavation place was very deep and as a result many people who have died down there," explained Angga with a facial expression that tried to frighten.

"I've heard that too" added Ami with a facial expression that added to the tension.

I nodded as Angga explained about the event where a child drowned in the river plus the occasional Ami who participated in explaining the detailed things of the story made this discussion more exciting.

Actually, I also know because I also saw the incident where a boy was saved by the biological father of Cai. Maybe the age of the boy was almost the same as my age now he died of drowning in a river of sand that is said to be quite deep. There are also those who associate the incident with mystical things but most of what I heard was that the child did not drown but the crocodile associated with the ancestors who brought the child to the bottom of the river the deepest.

What if you hear this? It's kind of awful, isn't it? Maybe this is just a myth but who would have thought if this event might be a reality. Not only once this incident happened even this incident has happened several times and the victims found are always in the same place.

"Ami, let's go home!"

We turned to look at the figure of Uncle Santoso, the father of Ami who was apparently behind us.

Ami quickly got up and approached his father. Uncle Santoso looked at me.

"How's Ari? Did you go to school?"

I smiled softly, I could not help the sadness from the look in my eyes. I'm sure Uncle Santoso can see it from both my eyes. I just shook my head slowly while looking down.

"Why? Why didn't you go to school? Wouldn't today be the last day of school enrollment if you didn't enroll in school today then you wouldn't be school this year."

"You'll go to school next year if you apply for school" he continued.

I raised my gaze to look at the figure of Uncle Santoso who this time was really waiting for an answer from me.

"I go home first, yes tomorrow we play again," said Ami and it means farewell sentences.

"Why don't you just sign up this year?"

The sentence seemed to directly slap me showing the figure of Angga who is now really looking at me as if charging an answer.

"I told you that Ari will go to school next year" I repeated an answer.

"Why not just this year?" ask Ririn.

"Our height means the same this year we're going to school together" Cai added.

"That mule, we have the same birth year means we also have to be together to apply for school" Ririn said again.

"What's the difference if we sign up this year with next year?"

"Of course it makes a difference. If you go to school this year then your age will be in line with your school age while if you apply for school next year then you will be the highest in the class."

"You don't know I had a friend of hers at school when she was 8 who had the highest body because we all had a smaller age than her and we all mocked her because he's the oldest of us in that class."

"Then what about your oldest friend?" my many.

"Of course he stopped because he was embarrassed."

I lowered my head for a moment digesting the sentence Angga described by him. Why was that boy so weak just because he was bullied he quit school.

"It's okay if someone bullies or says Ari just let the important Ari school," I explained trying to convince Angga and myself. The important thing is that the school of affairs is the back business.

"Yes it's none of my business but it's your business" said Angga who seemed to give up.

I smiled in a knot now I was silent with my gaze staring back at the scene taking a deep breath and exhaling slowly.
