The Journey
Part 2
"Your first scratch, it may have been accidentally written by someone else's hand. Follow the flow or change the path? "
The days passed as usual. Opening your eyes and staring out the glass window of the room that was accidentally not covered by a curtain was a favorite beginning. Staring at the sky outside the window and the green tree across the room, his soul seemed to be in a world of private property. Admiring nature for him is more beautiful than admiring people in fields torn everywhere.
The room was 3 x 4, with one of the outer walls a large row of glass. Minimalist-sized room on the second floor kos it makes the line must rotate the brain to organize. There are not many items in the room, window cloth is removed to give the impression of spacious. Medium size wooden cabinets hold clothes that are not much. A small bed is in the corner of the room. Beside the mattress was a small table with a photo of a girl holding a toga flanked by two people who were no longer young. The walls of the room are filled with bookshelf hangers containing books . For those who are new to visiting will think the place is a mini library.
Yep. For Line, books are a beloved collection. Beside the closet there is a mini-sized table with a laptop and a bag that looks neat ready to be taken away the master. I don't know, what it is. A medium-sized mirror hung near the closet. Don't ask about make-up. The little girl, everyday only uses baby powder and lip gloss. Let alone full make-up, the eyebrow line immediately changes shape to be cycane. Hehe, it feels like it's the biggest weakness that's hard to solve. It is better to find a needle in a haystack than to explore the magic of beautification. The life principles of a Line.
Naturally, tomboyish life is still inherent in the Line like sugar and coffee
Eh?
Why not glue?
Been already!
Author at war with himself.hehe
Line has indeed graduated from S1 in the field of English education. But decided to continue the work he pursued during college. Yep, so admin and instructor at the campus-owned language institute. Often, Line will be asked to be an interpreter at a bilingual event. That was the life the little girl lived in the big city for a year and a half after graduating.
If you want to say good, yes delicious. With a fairly good salary, Line can support himself and help his family, especially the affairs of the school of his three little dwarves. Why did it have to be Line? , because as the youngest and only child who had a better level of education than his four brothers turned Line into the backbone of the family. And Line did not want his nephew to experience the problems that Line had been through. Achieving life now is not as young as turning the palm of the hand.
Flashback.
The little line is a pretty smart kid. At the age of 3 years, he was good at writing or reading. Thanks to Line's grandma. He was the one who had taught and not Line's parents. At the age of 4, Line began attending elementary school. Of course, not as an official student. Just follow along, because you can read and write. Plus, the rules at that time did not accept students under the age of 7 years and there was no PAUD or Kindergarten in the village.
Line remained a fake student at school until the age of 7 and began officially until the end. Because of knowing the families who are less able, Line did not even want to continue his studies to the level of SMP. Line's friends went to town to sign up and came home with satisfied faces. For Line, being a library keeper and working in the garden was enough.
One of Line's friends who are curious because Line is included in the best graduates of the district's SD level comes to the Line at home.
In the village, residents always use Lua language in communicating except for immigrants or visitors.
"Oa kaa noo." (No money), though,
Ketus answer. Because after all, abandoned his friends give complaints in his heart.
"Molo u sai, I'm leku neti poi you book ko nggili holiday." (Well, I'll bring you a book when the holidays arrive) Timpal Ndole, his best friend, calms down. Because they know, Line likes to read the most.
The decision that Line received was not entirely Line's will. Seeing both parents who are reluctant to talk about the continuation of the child's education, finally Line can only work and live. He did not want to burden his family, while he understood very well how their lives were.
Everything goes right. Early in the morning the line had to cook. After that, Line immediately went to SD to guard the library according to his request to the principal at that time. He allows because Line has never perfected the name of his school while still in school. The day changed, Line's friends had already gone to town for school. A crowded village, for a while as clean as Line. Line did not even do a small demo to his parents and acted as if he was fine. Until one morning, it felt that Khalik was bored with Line's resignation and began to speak his way. Always magical.
