THE MOUNTAINEER'S STRUGGLE
Epsrr.11

The night is late. Restless bagas. His eyes cannot be closed. His best friend's words were still in the afternoon. Their eyes seemed to be mocking him. It is wrong to underestimate the physical appearance and clothes of Ayu. So that he looked down on the intellect of the mountain girl.

Bagas never thought the quality of the brain was so brilliant. Silent girls can have amazing rhetoric. Hands play a role when the mouth acts. His eyes were alive and fiery.

Clothes are so simple they tend not to be up to date. Faster to wear a mother than a young child. The skin of his face and hands was blackened by the sun. Pretty sweet compared to others. Bagas didn't put that on. If the wood Ayu for example chunks have not been sanded and varnished, it is still natural. Just a little polish then the exotic will come out.

The guy is very quiet. But, what is the wrong vision, if it was full of energy. It is not wrong that many of his colleagues so admire. What's wrong with that girl if the heart doesn't like it. Why always think about that girl. His bidat was finally the target of the clap.

"Oh, sick," she whispered.

"Why are you, Gas?" ask the awakened Panji to hear the sound of Bagas.

"Nyamuk nih, crazy cave eels are targeted. On the edge of tightness became sick," he replied grinning the horse.

If only Judas knew what was going on. Must be a target of ridicule.

"Kirain whatan, already sleeping malem yuk tomorrow we go home first," asked Panji.

Bagas. Mountain girl, this is because of Elu. Ih go why do not come in the eyes of the cave Mulu, expel him. The shadow of Ayu present seemed to sneer. Poking fun at him.

\*\*\*\*\*

That morning a musty fate befell Ayu. The car broke down in the middle of the road. The money still has to be paid. Tega sir driver, gerutu Ayu. Groped his shirt pocket. Addresses no allowance. The remaining money is just enough for the fare now and to go home.

Ayu finally gets to school despite her misfortune. Ismail's face is not that bad anymore. Either there are instructions from Mr. Ajid or are tired of giving punishment. Ayu just wrote on the agenda book and breezed in without a duck walk anymore.

Ayu's step into the class stopped in the middle of the road. His gene cry to enter the library deflected his steps. Empty teaching. His teacher didn't come in today

The library space that is usually spooky for every student is not for the students in Ayu school. The room is quiet. It's just that there is also provided food to accompany students when reading. In addition to seeking knowledge, seek food.

Ayu just silently watched her best friend enjoy snacks. His hand reached into his pocket. Just a piece of money there. Which is enough for a snack.

"Why not a snack, Ayu?" ask Thien

"It's fun to read, later." Ayu replied with a bland smile. Though fritters seasoned saos held by Thien is so tempting. Can only massage the chest.

A book by Buya Hamka in hand. Though his spit many times in swallow. The stomach is also rumbling, earlier the mother bothered to help the hawakatan did not have time to make provisions. Nurasiah saw the mimic of Ayu. Poor you, Yu.

"Today's my special day. You guys I'll buy it. Come on Ayu take whatever you want. You are also that if your stomach fits. It seems like everyone is starving. Eits, only now does that count. That's what goes into the stomach pay for itself." Nurasiah Jamilah the boss's son chuckled.

Nur knows the reason Ayu is not jajan. Ayu's stomach was heard from earlier. Nur sitting nearby also saw Ayu who occasionally gulped at the sight of the others engrossed in eating.

That's why I said that. Practicing without offending his best friend. Everyone doesn't know Ayu's condition. It's not nice to just practice it without the others. If the others are certainly full with snacks that are asabreg in the embatnya from earlier.

Ayu just shut up. I don't know why I feel like Nur is feeling sorry for him. It is not uncommon to ask for mercy. Abstinence for him to worship anyone even though he is papa.

"Nur, why do this?" whispered Ayu

"The worm in your stomach was singing from earlier. Don't be long, fainting to know the taste." Nur replied also in a whisper.

Ayu closed her eyes. Makes a funny look on his face. Duh worm, you can't compromise. Always legislation.

"Let's take another shot at the offer? Your stomach is pitying." threatened Nur

Ayu laughed, his best friend this one is doyan ngocol but the most sensitive and tajir among them.

Ayu's stomach was full. Thank God there are also friends who understand the heart as well as the contents of his stomach.

"Thank you, Nur" he whispered in Nurasiah's ear.

\*\*\*\*\*

Apek back in Ayu's senses. It's been two hours waiting for the traffic jam to break down. I don't know what's going on. The car to the west is completely stuck. The direction to the east is long without inhabitants.

"Cracking accident, Kang, whirring turn back," exclaimed a biker from the opposite direction.

Ayu took a breath back. Adhan Maghrib sounds great. Regret in the heart is useless. It should have been agreed when Irniaty offered to stay at her house. That day Ayu was extra-curricular, Scout. Coming home after the Ashar prayer.

Usually you will pick him up at Cadas Pangeran. But last night I told him to stay at a friend's house near his home school. Father is in the house of a disgraced brother.

"Sorry, yeah, everything, it's jammed bad. I want to turn around please come down and don't have to pay the fare" said the driver.

Address staying on this street mah. Ayu's confused. The fare money in the squash. There is free money if the city transport does not pass through one. All passengers were equally confused after disembarking.

"Come aboard! We go home together" someone behind a full-face helmet invites Ayu and stops right on the side. Patting the back seat, a gesture to let Ayu be piggybacked there.

Ayu. Who is this guy? His voice was also less clear of the helmet effect on the head. What if this guy's a kidnapper? Ayu bergidig's. There are now many kidnappings and rapes. Maybe the owner of this bike is one of them.

"Come ... Wait what else? Don't know?" tanyakanya.

Ayu is still sculpting. The man took off his helmet.

"Sir Judis!" Ayu Peek

"Yes, it's me. Let's go home. It's been a night." he asked.

Ayu is still confused. He should go home with Judith. What the world says when we go home together. If not, do you sleep on the streets? Gamang.

Judis was waiting. The rain starts to fall. Why do so many considerations Ayu. In Bandung every person scrambling to be his lover or just looking for attention. This has been noticed even fear.

Judis drew Ayu's hand. The girl seemed hypnotized. Just shut up and obey. Sitting sweetly behind Yudhishthira.

Judis smiled. This must be Ayu's first time in a young man's bell. His face looked tense and frightened. What a plain you are, Ayu.

The motor is traveling at medium speed. Ayu just holds on to the iron in the motor. For some reason, Judis wanted Ayu's hand to be coiled around her waist. Ayu's body docked hugging her cold body of rain.

Unfortunately, you're not Cindy. If Cindy then will docked and hugged tightly. Ayu is different. He may be younger than his girlfriend. But, more mature. Judis occasionally stared at the rearview mirror. Seeing Ayu's tense face. Funnier. The wind hit his face and played the hijab he was wearing. The face was so shady, yet firm in the weight of life.

The road that passes now is not black asphalt. A rocky road that is more feasible is called a small river. Slippery stone mixed with red soil that further slows down the speed of the motor. The motor almost fell off.

"Ju take hold, the slippery road is now afraid that you will fall" Judis said.

"It's okay, brother, Ayu's used to it."

Judis remained silent. Though the hope is great Ayu will hug his waist. Forget Dis, she is not a city girl who is easily charmed by your handsome face. Drugged by your treasure. This is Ayu Lestari girl who is not easy on her body and heart.

It was night time when their bikes arrived. Everyone looked shocked to see the two people could be together. However, a little explanation all understand and accept. Ayu is not a girl with despicable morals. Judis is not a sloppy young man. The prejudice disappeared.

Hadi who also saw the wrath of her puja girl in the bonceng of people. Especially Yudistira, the coolest student team. It was clearly losing quality on his appeal. Hadi lost a landslide. What if Ayu falls for him? Perfectly rounded fist. His teeth were struggling with anger.

The night is getting late. Ayu finally fell asleep after cleansing her overflowing body. A smile on her lips led to her falling asleep. The shadow of Yudishthira dancing in the eye.

Judis looked at the ceiling of his room. Ayu's tense face was plastered there. Not Cindy's pretty face that she met this afternoon. The white ash with a tense face and a looming fear.
