The Journey
Part 5's
"Thank you to yourself, pick you up when you fall, support you a little while staying upright, although often an excuse. Have you?"

A small blue black object, lying next to the flower-patterned pillow sounded. Again and again. But the little face was still firmly attached to the pillow.

The sound of a notification indicates that there is an incoming message. But still. There is no desire to open message after message on his butut phone.
Still speechless with occasional sobs the deliberately held voice screeching greeted the air.
The perceived tightness, the decision that had been taken, the matter that seemed to end his entire dream, struck the tiny soul hard.
Increasingly dissolved when a swarm of memory runs through the mind. The small figure that had tried so hard to come this far, was fragile. The shadow of every loved one's smile when he first moves into the city. Every support, how to be accountable. Uh. Like a thousand sword dilemmas.
Awakened from his sleep due to fatigue crying a few hours ago, Line went to the bathroom to clean the body. After bathing and changing clothes, Line rushed to the kitchen looking for the rest of the cooking this morning.
It was late, but Line did not find any of her dorm mates, who she thought were in the dorm because she was in the semester exam.
Walk towards the kitchen by looking in various directions looking for the presence of his friends.
"May they pray together? ' he thought in his heart.
The location of the joint prayer for the children of the dormitory is located in front of the dormitory. There is a special small cave to pray with a holy statue in the cave. Naturally Line thought so because Line was at the very back of the dormitory.
After filling his stomach, Line returned to the room and went back to hiding behind his woven cloth. The spirit to join his housemates also disappeared.
He had his little cell phone. Line thought to immediately tell one of his relatives about the problem that was being experienced.
Have not had time to make a call, now Line's eyes are getting watery. Line read every message on his phone.
"Line, pick up the phone" _Richard
"Miss, come in tomorrow, said Ms. Mia. Remember the race we represent. Come back", _ Devi.
" Line, ko evil. Ko has not been pleased with sa. Ko where.? " _ Lilis
"Still in the dorm or your little mama's place? Tell me sa. Let sa go. " _ Lilis
"Come on, come on again tomorrow. Let it be a follow-up today. The test is 2. We wait. "_ mr. chairman.
"We humans, ko made sa with lilis very hurt, so ko really did not enter a full week yesterday because of this. Ewa, I have a. " _ Yanti
"La 'i. Ko comes in tomorrow ew. Mia's mom says it's okay. He will be responsible. Jagan like this. We are less members . I with Devi couldn't take the Race on my own. Later we will have the same selection class acceler." _ sir chairman
"Line, ko's not sick. You can make this decision. We wait for you tomorrow. Lilis was crying. We were all sad when Mia's mom made the announcement in class. Turn su tomorrow. Don'tstop. " _Joe.
"Lamen, I'll find you in the dorm. Watch out you don't exist. Sa with Didi later." _ K Tito's.
Each message is opened one by one. Crying again and again. The guilt of not having time to say good farewell to his classmates and friends at school, made Line worse. Something sharp without form pierced his heart.
Cuddled up crying while holding tightly to his cell phone. The desire to call his relatives disappeared, even to continue to open the message that was still left in his inbox, Line was not powerful anymore.
The world is unfair to him. The only way to change his life is with education. At least, that's what many people say. But the reality received, although classified as capable in terms of learning, is still lacking.
The more thoughtful thinking of his direction ahead. I don't know what he's gonna do. How his parents responded. What the village will think, and how disappointed his classmates will be when tomorrow they find Line not taking the test again.
*Cring cring cring
Cring cring cring*
The mobile phone that was gripped rang, instantly resuscitating Line from her grief.
"Hello." Line answer short after pressing the button symbolizes the green phone handle.
"We're in front of the dorm. On terrace. Get out first' replied someone behind the phone.
Without thinking long. Exit line to the terrace asramany. While holding his eyes. Line looked straight out of the window as it was clear someone was looking at him from behind the window.
The opening of the dormitory door, and in an instant Line had set himself behind the body of the medium-sized man.
"Have, already." The man wiped Line's tears.
"Didi told me everything, why not tell me with kaka? " Add the man.
"Sorry" Line replied with an occasional drop of white fur while glancing at Didi, her best friend who was sitting in the guest chair.
"Hmm, it's okay, you guys go on like I don't exist" Didi was upset.
"Capek-capek here just to see ko cry" added didi while thrusting fried foods below.
Line takes the fritters, before it hugs her best friend.
"Thank you." He said while trying to put on a fake smile.
"Sana makes coffee, sa with Tito is still long here. But ko is alone. Your friends still seem to be there ."
Didi informed while pointing towards the house that was crowded with visitors, Line went to the kitchen to prepare a simple banquet for both guests.
Line prepares warm coffee favorite of his two best friends, at least that is considered Line so far. In contrast to one of them who put Line on special expectations. Hope is still being held up today, although it often openly shows his feelings.
When asked about the certainty of taking the exam, Line's answer remained the same. How not, Line himself who has faced the school to decide all the problems until here.
Line then explained that if it had to return at least Line had to pay the semester money before the exam day. But now it is test time. He felt he could not pay school fees. Line decided to quit school without telling her parents first.
"What I'm worried about, father responded. He was the most passionate about my school. Yep. Mama might be disappointed, but mama is the most understanding. The huft! " Sighs and looks far ahead at the darkness of the night in front of his dorm.
Seeing his best friend back sad, Didi immediately took the initiative to approach Line to calm Line. But not yet implemented, Tito is already beside Line and gives a warm embrace.
"Huh, looking for an opportunity. Basic usurper"
At least that's what Didi thought in her heart. Condemns his best friend who supposedly snatched Line from him.
"I should have been here alone" Didi finally said.
Hearing that the gloomy Line turned cackling like there was no problem.
"Wuahaha. Ko jealous Di, hahaha. Here" Line releases Tito's embrace and puts his hand on Didi's shoulder. Spoiled as usual.
Seeing Line's behavior, Didi hit bad laughs at Tito. Tito can only curse Didi.
"Aren't you guys friends from childhood, not satisfied either? His. Ko also has no girl, let Line with me". Tito grumbled annoyed while finishing his coffee.
Line who did not think Tito's words just laughed watching the strange behavior of the two.
"How will Ko stay in this dorm?" Tito asked who was still upset by Didi's attitude who was spinning Line's hair while occasionally gulping down the rest of her coffee.
Line explains his plan to return to the village. For him there is no use for him to remain in the city.
Deciding on school and re-electing the village was a very tough decision for Line. How not, not yet a year of gray-white time, already had to turn the body, leave all the leaders. Feeling unreserved by the circumstances to continue his love in hoarding knowledge in his mind and soul, Line felt pain sliced like an indiscretion.
Line then continued that some time before, Line had met Mr. John, the vice principal at the time. Line hoped there would be a waiver, but apparently the time given was only a week until before the exam time took place.
Line is cornered in its helplessness. How not, lack of education costs have an impact on the continuity of Line schools. Line hopes to pay off after the race, which is what Line plans and says to John but nil. Line eventually decided to quit school.
Hearing that, Tito grew more and more compassionate about what Line was facing. The figure of the girl who to him was unusually strong, turned out to be as difficult as this plot of his life. While Didi who already knew the problem clearly, only continued to memainkn long hair Line that had been spun.
"Well, I'll go back to the village. Maybe in a week. I also have to say goodbye to Mia's mother. He might be surprised by this." Say Line next to his story.
"Then, I accompanied my mother's house," Tito who felt he did not have much time left with Line immediately offered himself.
Understanding the situation, Didi did not want to argue and agree with Tito's wishes.
"You can go together. I want to study for a test" Timpal Didi glared sharply at Tito
"If you're not unkap this time, don't blame me for being a bully"
Didi muttered inwardly as if hoping Tito caught her through his cold gaze. Without Didi noticing, Tito had planned the same thing.
"Alright, but the day after tomorrow, I still have business tomorrow. Go to little mama's place. Maybe you can give advice to explain to the father in the village." Line then explained the character of his father who might be difficult to accept his current condition.
" All right, tomorrow I'll drop off. There's no buts." Tito feels the need to spend more time with the girl he likes, because he does not know what time will be presented about them in the future.
"OK" That's all that came out of Line's mouth.
"We're back, it's night." Didi said as she moved from her seat and flicked the Line hairpin she had been holding. Not realizing the time has shown at half ten in the night.
The two then moved to Tito's motorbike which was stuck in front of the dormitory.
"Daaa, tomorrow I pick up after the exam" Tito said as he drove away. Line watched the two disappear and walked towards the house where his training was after storing dirty glasses and dishes in the kitchen.
The night was calm, after some time the sleeping drug Line was exhausted after crying. Not with tonight, a little relieved, and calm. Line fell asleep after returning from the choir. Late in his own expectations, hopefully tomorrow can be a little friendly and give enough space for Line to breathe next to his difficulties. Before going to bed, Line considered a few things.
"Everything these days is like trying to eat away at my whole spirit, I have to be able to forgive myself, if not how I deal with my father"
Line's mind again imagined the pieces of emotions of the father who loved so much. Imagining disappointment sooner or later Line will embed in the heart of his father, immediately resa mastered his fragile soul. Not willing to let the dilemma take over his consciousness. Line decided to sleep. If it is written, there is no harm in continuing until the end.
