There were no tears as Habibah received congratulations and a charter on the stage. There was a sense of haru and sadness that was felt simultaneously he felt at that time. Moved because he did not expect to get a scholarship and sad because at a time like this no one was present for him. His father was always busy in his garden, his mother attended the raport book retrieval at Laily and Maryam schools which happened to be one school. Sometimes the girl always felt left out among her brothers.
He even asked his mother several times whether he was a real child or not? Her mother only cried every time she was asked about it. Actually Habibah is a biological child even used to be his father's favorite child. But because of his father's past that made me his father always remembered the bad thing when he saw the habibah. That's why the treatment of that girl has changed.
Habibah is a smart and independent child. Since he was in elementary school he has always been ranked in the top three. Even since the third grade he had started learning to work to earn money. He was every day "a messenger" by the teachers at his school. Like cleaning the official house of the teacher who happens to be rarely occupied or cleaning and tidying up the school library. Because the school doesn't have a cleaning worker. So the little girl happily did. That way he can get money to pay SPP money and save a little. He never snacked at school, if he was given money he always saved in a bamboo piggy bank that he made himself if at any time he needed money to buy school supplies then he would open his piggy bank.
The beautiful little girl had lived her life very hard since childhood. Who should still enjoy the world of children by playing he was busy working to help both parents. The harsh education since these kids made her grow up to be a hard-spirited girl as well. It's just
others would not have expected that the girl would have such a life if she only looked at her tiny body. But it would be visible when he saw the sharp and cold gaze of his eyes. Her tiny body did not reflect a gentle personality.
After receiving congratulations from his friends, Habibah chose to go home. His sadness deepened when he saw his friends who spoiled on their parents and there were even those who joked with each other. While he himself does not remember when to indulge in his parents and joke with them. Does he or she never know. While others smile cheerfully, the girl is sad. His envy made him feel even more excluded from everyone.
Two days after the farewell ceremony Habibah had prepared to leave for the city. For the man who will take him into the city will pick him up in two days. In fact that day was the day of Alvian's departure to the city, the man waited for an hour in front of the gate to enter the village where the girl lived. He still had hope that there would be a reply letter from the girl. But unfortunately until that long he waited no one came to him either the letter or the person, even though just saying goodbye to him. His heart was disappointed when his journey could no longer be delayed. Even Purnomo could not do anything when he saw his friend sad.
"OKAY. I'm okay Pur, I'm just wondering why he's so cold to me, am I not worthy of him knowing even as a friend? Actually she was the girl who how, I could not understand Pur at all, but strangely I could never stop to think about her. Okay then I leave first, Pur, see you later in the city" said Alvian, hugging his best friend with a forced smile.
Somehow it felt hard for Alvian to leave that place. It feels like something is left there. Throughout the journey of his mind can not be separated from the figure of Habibah that he could never approach and understand. And he regretted that in fact he left before he could get close and understand the girl well. He met the girl when the time of his departure was near.
"Oh my god, you're torturing me this way. Even I went without seeing him even from afar " complained Alvian inwardly.
