Seasons Will Always Change (Holly's Love Story)
Eps. 5. Whose Beloved

There was just a little change, your loud voice could no longer be heard commanding Holly to do this-that's all, that's all. The rest is still the same, Holly is still the mainstay of the people in this house. In the morning, Holly was still preparing breakfast for all, cooking rice all side dishes and vegetables for a new lunch she took a shower and left for school. To the school he was only on foot, fortunately the distance was not too far around five hundred meters only.

Daily routine that is no longer heavy for Holly because she has been doing it even since Junior High: coming home from school, she washes dishes, then washes dirty clothes some family members. Helny and Herlina have their own washerman. Not to mention if you have what needs for stitching, buy yarn, buy zippers, buy furing cloth, and other macems, all Holly, the girl is thin and not tall, the frail posture was actually somehow with what strength he could do all things.

It's been a week of exams, Holly's not going anywhere. Since the Hanie protests, since then, my mom has silenced Holly. Holly tried to talk sometimes, but her hard face made her lips twitch. But there's something he wants to say. So Holly tried again...

"Ma..."

Holly stood in the doorway of the sewing room.

Mom was silent, no reaction. What's in your heart, Holly doesn't understand. Because she was still being indifferent Holly left the room. There was papa Rudolf who came home after ten days of renovating a relative's house. Maybe talk to papa...

"Pa..."

Holly approached papa with a little fear. Weak and doubtful sounds are almost inaudible due to the large volume of TV sound, papa again watches.

"Lad..."

Holly shook papa's arm slowly. Papa who was disturbed turned to look with a sniffling nose.

"I'm done with the exam, pa..."

"Certainly? Papa already told me there is no further lecture yes, do not whine, self-conscious, we people can not afford!"

"I if there is a lecture Bidikmisi, not out the cost of development or registration.anything is still a process, there is no announcement..."

"Even if college costs money, buy the book with money. There's no money for that. Not yet your fare to campus, angkot twice from here, pp means every day four times times Rp. 4000, Rp. 16,000, what's the cost for a month??"

"I'll count pa..."

Hellen sat next to Papa and counted on his cell phone.

"Rp. 384,000, pa.. wah.. can buy a sack of rice. Udah.. Just accept not college, do not height his ideals, I just did not finish High School is not a problem. Make the future easy, find a husband who has a lot of money..."

Holly let out a sad breath, no one supported her wishes here. Even papa mama has often broken her heart with the word will not finance. Only Hanie understands her.

Papa and mama are the same, not parents who are concerned with children's education. Children are never encouraged to go to school properly, if you like school please, not school stupid very, rough like that. So the Hofny did not pass Junior High School, Hellen stopped at 11th grade High School, did not go up class anyway, so embarrassed to continue. The report of the child was never taken, invited to a meeting the parents were never present. And severe, always delay the payment of educational participation or child obligations to school. Finally in school there are teachers have memorized their behavior because there are several children who school in the same school, the same school, mr. Rudolf and Lisbeth's mother are hardest to collect for reasons of inadequacy.

"Pa..I mean, last week I finished the exam I was called my Guardian Class teacher, my diploma will not be given before giving participation for graduation. All the children have told me to stay who have not..."

"Later on. Don't bother, papa's watching."

Communication is impossible to continue, papa did not even glance at Holly, eyes focused on the TV screen. After work, papa buys a new TV, grabs the old broken TV. At home there's a TV but in Helny's and Herlina's room. Papa had intended to buy electronic goods, so papa accepted the renovation work offered. Like that papa's behavior actually, if there is something he wants then he will work, but if not papa often refused work on the grounds of high blood pain, but if not papa often refused work on the grounds of high blood pressure, can not be too long under the hot sun, while papa's work is said to be risky, afraid of suddenly falling from the roof 🤨

"Pa... I'm a pijitin huh... papa cape right?"

"There must be a desire for you..."

"Okay, you know..."

"Have you ever given papa without reward?"

"Hehehe. 68,000, really cheap..."

Holly immediately stepped aside to hear the conversation, must be given to me if Hellen asked, he's my favorite son. While Henny is your favorite child, whatever she asks, including mengekos on the grounds of home is not calm, mama let. Who's Holly's favorite?

¤¤¤

"Han... I'm coming with you to the store, right?"

Hanie looked at Holly's face in wonder.

"Not your school?"

"Waiting for an announcement..."

"Oh yes... But not afraid of being scolded by mama?"

"I'm afraid, but I need money to pay for graduation. Know for yourself it's hard to ask money to mom or dad..."

Hanie smiled wryly, her parents did not know the priority scale of needs.

"How much?"

"Mmm. You have been giving me money a lot..."

"Who else would love to give you money in this house? Who has given you a burden..."

"I mean.. Can I work in a store? I want you to be able to hold your own money..."

"Wouldn't you be going to college?"

"Still really.. although mama and papa do not want to pay.so I want to work, find your own money for later want to join SBMPTN will need money to take care of it..."

"Said there's a Bidikmisi?"

"Yes, I have registered through school, waiting to also pass not through the SBMPTN invitation line, if I do not pass I entered the Tumou Tou selection. Said my friend, if we pass the selection, the bidikmisi has not come out immediately, we have to charge ourselves first at the beginning. That's why I have to make money, buy college needs with money, too..."

"If you don't escape both how?"

"If I don't get through this year I want to work a year, then, next year will want to register a state university, college in private expensive. Well, it's easier for me, there's savings..."

Hanie shuffled her sister's hair, she was moved by her sister's unchanging determination despite the lack of parental support.

"Okay... get ready if that is so... but has it finished cooking? Let mom scream again..."

"Udah. but you talk to mama yeah, I want to work, since then. mama never want to talk to me, Han..."

Crystalline granules appeared at the end of the eyes that suddenly stung, like his heart.

"Yes already.Mama may be embarrassed or feel guilty about you, just realized that you are also the status of a child..."

"I am a Han child, my face looks a lot like Lina and Hellen, but I am a child who was not expected to be born but already made, said Helny I was a victim of mama and papa cold, cold, hehe..."

Holly laughed heartily, a laugh in sorrow.

"You can, you know what a cold victim is. After that, I'll tell my mom, let her let you work... Shower there, shampoo too, your hair is greasy..."

.

In front of the largest building store on the highway, Hanie and Holly were waiting for two store employees to open the store door from a large and heavy iron. When they arrive the activity starts. The gate was opened entirely. Examples of zinc, ceramics and other building materials began to be arranged neatly in the hallway of figures for display. Tarpaulins cover large building materials such as water tanks and various sizes of iron located on a side of the shop yard, lifted and folded by two people. It was noticeable that Hanie was the boss here, she was just commanding this-that with both of her hands around her waist.

"What did Mama say, Han?"

Holly asked beside Hanie.

"Mama didn't say anything. But from the look on his face I know your mama's permission for you to work...Calm down, yes, but I can't accept you as an employee, you know. You just help me, but don't worry, I can pay you, hahaha..."

Holly hit her brother's arm.

In the afternoon someone appeared in the store with his black sedan car. The store began to be empty of visitors and a little more time the store closed. Hanie was sitting quietly in the front seat of her desk, playing a game on her phone. Occasionally his eyes stared at the CCTV monitor screen beside him.

"Don..."

Tenry sat at a large table with his leisure.

"Ten... Where are you going?"

"From Marina, come here..."

"Where's the progress at Marina?"

"Surfing the hell out of two weeks of employee training..."

"If you need help tell me..."

"Hahaha.like you have time..."

"Eh...have recruited employees?"

"You know Ci Cun right..."

"Yes I admit your mama, very nimble, hardworking, gil a.. dawn has woken up, to and fro control all the shops, not yet another job, not yet another job, he can have stamina to work late into the night..."

"Hahaha. therefore his efforts can be big and many..."

"And many advantages.you who enjoy the work of your mother..."

"Well, stupid if not, but you know, I'm afraid actually can't keep trying as hard as them..."

"The time is... have you started long ago right, since childhood has been taught business, time not confident?"

"Yes... It's human that I'm afraid... eh... There's Lingling here?"

Tenry's attention was distracted by Holly's figure approaching them carrying a material a customer was looking for. Holly only glanced for a moment at Tenry, uncomfortable to look directly or say hello.

"Han, how much is this?"

Holly put a glass block on the table.

"Rp. 28,500."

"Not less Ko Han? We're subscribing here, you know..."

The mother who wanted to buy came to bid.

"Mom, the price is right, we are also the cheapest, you can check in other stores..."

"You take a lot, minus again yeah..."

"Yes, Rp. 28,000, that I can love you..."

"Girl, I took 5 blocks huh..."

The mother immediately spoke her needs to Holly. After a long day at work, Holly is now starting to be reckless. He took the mother's request.

"Han, 5 is a lot?"

Tenry laughed softly. But the eyes looked at Holly.

"How many versions of you..."

"Hahaha, at least ten of these..."

Tenry picks up a dus and helps Holly pack the glass block, while Hanie receives payment. Holly was uncomfortable with the help of Koko and still did not dare to look at each other, a little away when dus was tied using a plastic rope, and only thrusting scissors with eyes in the glass block. While the kind-hearted Koko smiled looking at Holly who was standing awkwardly next to her. Holly is back where she likes to sit behind a display cabinet.

"Han, Lingling studied here again?"

"No, I'm done with the exam, I'm off. He wanted to study work so I brought him here, help us out, instead of at home..."

Hanie didn't continue her sentence. Tenry caught something in Hanie's voice change, as well as a flash of emotion that was drawn a few seconds.

"Don't tell him to lift the heavy Han, feel sorry for his small body... I'm curious, you're all Lingling's brothers up high, why is she doing that mini..."

"Don't know, maybe because he was forced to do a lot of adult work in his infancy..."

Hanie replied in a low tone, she noticed the posture of her sister, actually said Tenry, the four average high-bodied sisters, Holly who is small herself in her family.

"You mean?"

"Yes that is what I know since Junior High he has been cooking, cleaning, taking care of 5 pounds as well. All work at home... It's also good that she can do housewives' work but sometimes I feel it's too much for her, but she never protests, stays diligent at home, she said, and unfortunately everyone at home likes to benefit him. That's too obedient boy anyway.so I'm glad he has the intention of work, at least he is free from the burden that he should not bear..."

Tenry looked at Holly from where she was sitting.

"Han.. get ready to close, the clock is also, we eat outside, yes, invite the Lingling..."

Hanie just nodded then ordered some employees to start improving, toch already deserted visitors. Tenry's phone rang, when he saw the name of the contact who called, Tenry simply shrank the volume without answering the call. Hanie who was working on the pink note looked at Tenry and found it strange that Tenry let in a call from Glo.
