My Brother
New Friends, New Friends

Nurika, Henny, Nurmala and many more friends – friends Indah went to the same school with her. Just like any other school, and according to the annual activity plan every new student goes through the orientation period. But there is nothing memorable for Indah so the author does not want to tell the New Student Orientation Period passed by Indah. Mostly there are new Students interested in the Chairman of OSIS who is indeed a handsome teenager, clever and has the ideal posture for men – men his age, especially the new students.

Yes, only most but not all, not beautifully. Beautiful cold ice cubes do not care at all about the good looks possessed by Azmi the chairman of OSIS.

Three days passed, this was a very awaited day. Students to a number of classes. Lovely wants to know soon who will be her new friend. Indah also wants to immediately learn in a new place where there are no teacher children who always get class rankings.

“We will fight for intelligence and I will prove that I can beat you who only rely on your parents as teachers to win class during the R-1” Gumam Indah Elementary School after knowing where the class will be occupied and anyone who will be his classmate.

“Hai, let's go to the cafeteria! It's already break time!” Nurika a classmate in SD and a rickshaw with her first, now back to be her classmate in Junior High School.

Indah followed Nurika's steps to the canteen. On the road to the canteen, they cross paths with Faisal one of SD's friends. Lovely nudged Faisal violently.

“Faisal, here we will prove who is smarter. Me or you even though we're different class?” Beautifully challenging SD friends who for six years always enter the top three. Indah is convinced that the ranking obtained by Faisal so far is not purely because of his intelligence but because he is the son of one of the teachers in the school R-1. Faisal just kept silent not responding to Beautiful speech and passed away to go to class.

Many new friends owned Indah, Anik is one of them. In the seventh grade A Indah started advanced school. Indah begins her new friendship with Anik and Nurika. Where – where they are always three, but do not rule out the possibility for them to be friends with others.

On Sunday Nurika called Indah to invite her to play at Anik's house. Indah approved Nurika's invitation. They leave for Anik's house with bicycles – each. Arriving at Anik's house, Anik invites them to walk – way around Goa Lebar because Anik's house is also not far from there. Before arriving at the mouth of Goa, Indah remembered her best friend, Ika. Indah and Nurika agreed to stop by Ika's house to invite her to join even though they had different schools.

Ika join Indah and friends – friends. They head beside Goa's mouth and sit on a stretch of green grass and exchange stories from their entrance to school, Orientation Period to their new teachers. Not felt, arrived – arrived adzan Dhuhur reverberated. They ended their conversation and went home – each.

Before returning home, Indah made an appointment with Ika to meet again next week.

Mentari began to rise.

Say good morning

Birds – birds singing cheerfully

Flying in space

Lovely get used to waking up in the morning to take a shower and pray shabuh. A little help the mother sweep the house and yard, then breakfast continued by leaving for school when the clock shows six o'clock more thirty minutes. It's beautiful to always be home on time when the whole lesson is over. No more Mr. Ahmad who always pick him up because Indah left school on his Phoenix bike.

Beautiful school uniform is a uniform made by his mother. Mother Sri is very familiar with the character of her child so that the stitching results are in accordance with what Indah wants.

Every now and then Mr. Yusuf noticed his little girl growing up to be a teenager. But her attitude did not change, She was her little girl who remained cheerful even though she did not talk much.

Pak Yusuf remembers the word – said Bu Murni teacher SD Indah. “Begini Mr. Yusuf. Actually Beautiful is a smart child, but so far it is believed that your child is less active in answering every question asked by the teacher during the lesson!”. Mr. Yusuf thought hard so that Indah has high confidence in order to achieve his achievements.

The –-day daily routine is still carried out as usual, but Indah is no longer teaching at Musholla because she has recorded her Quran recitation three times. Pak Yusuf and Bu Sri had also held a prayer mat before Indah finally stopped teaching at Musholla. After Maghrib prayer, Indah chose to teach in his room. Indah faster hatam Al – Quran than Winda because Indah is more diligent when compared to the children of Pak Dayat

Flashback on ~~~

“Hai..!” Sapa Bu Sri to Sofyan.

Mr. Dayat sat on the porch with his mother while watching Sofyan's new steps.

“Great where?” Ask Mr. Dayat to Mom.

“Beautiful to go to school!” mother replied casually.

“Kata son – my son, sir justad there is an event so can not teach tonight!” Mr. Dayat was astonished and felt lied to by his two children.

“If Mr. Ustad was unable to attend Musholla, surely Indah has returned home after Maghrib prayer. But until now, Beautiful has not come home either!. Answer mother.

Without saying goodbye to mother, Mr. Dayat rushed home and scolded Winda and Habib who had lied to him.

seeing his son has finished praying isya’, Mr. Yusuf called Beautiful. Lovely sitting next to her father holding a notebook in her left hand and a pencil in her right.

“Honey!” Dad opened the conversation

“Yes, dad!” While opening her book, Indah listened to her father's words and occasionally replied if needed. Not meant to be disrespectful, but that was a beautiful custom that was also not forbidden by his father.

“Do you still remember what your homeroom Pure Ma said when we came to her house?” Dad started reminding Indah of her homeroom teacher's thoughts in SD.

“Iya, dad. I remember!” Mr. Yusuf did not think that Indah still remembered him.

“Then, what will you do to increase your confidence?” Dad continued the question.

“I'll try to be the best, dad!”. “I will be diligent in learning so that I can answer any questions that the teacher asks either verbally or in writing, or to answer questions written on the board though!” Beautifully answer father's question by looking intently ahead.

“Alright, son! “Dad wait for your promise!” Dad rubbed his head gently Beautiful.

At school :

During the break after queuing from the school cafeteria, Indah sat on the bench in front of the class with some friends. There is also Linda, a classmate who dominates their conversation. Beautiful attention to Linda's behavior and way of speaking. “Can I be like Linda?” Beautiful Mumbles

Beautiful wants to change her passive self to be more active and confident according to her father's wishes. Beautifully inspired by Linda's attitude that is not only active but also smart.
