The Poor Girl's

The Poor Girl's
National Examinations


Elin could not control her feelings, her heart was pounding, her heart was already unsettled, she could not focus on the current events. Moreover, his hand had come into contact with Reyhan's hand when he welcomed the helping hand.


In the heart of Elin cursed her who could not cover up this awkwardness. Yes, Elin was really feeling awkward, she started to feel uncomfortable hearing Reyhan's last words.


Not wanting to make himself more embarrassed, Elin immediately went home


"I have to go home to Rey," Elin still lowered her head to hide the face that had been flushed with embarrassment. Elin passed by without waiting for Reyhan's reply.


"Yes be careful," Reyhan said with a wave, because Elin had already stepped out of the fence. Elin turned her head and waved back at Reyhan.


Along the way home Elin seemed to keep smiling, a radiance of happiness visible on his face.


"Finally I can be friends with Reyhan," Elin was delighted that her desire to be close to Reyhan materialized


"May I be kind to him, may I act like a friend." Elin hopes she can bring herself to adapt to her new status. That way he will be able to learn a lot of communication with friends.


He understands his lack of sociability makes him often silent when he is gathering with his friends. She can't talk, but this time she wants to change herself to make Reyhan feel comfortable being her friend.


The clock is 04:30. In a room measuring 2×3 meters, Elin looked hardened her eyes trying to normalize her blurry vision because she just woke up.


"What time is this?" elin muttered his eyes glancing at the wall clock hanging above the plastic cabinet in his room.


This 2×3 meter room does not look like a room, a narrow room is only enclosed in a fragile plywood wall that contains only one small sleeping temple and one plastic cabinet. There are not many rooms left, only enough space left to do prayer only.


Elin started her morning activities as usual. At exactly 06:00 Elin left for school. As she was about to walk through Reyhan's alley, Elin stopped to look for Reyhan's whereabouts, hoping she could see Reyhan. But the one in search is not visible, it looks like his house is still quiet.


Elin continued walking until she arrived at the school gate. He met Ica standing in front of the gate.


"What was the Elin yesterday? what the hell is Reyhan talking about?" tanya Ica urged who was deliberately waiting for Elin to ask this.


"Nobody matters" replied Elin who did not want to tell her the truth.


"Your spy Lin, don't want to tell me the same story. Come on Lin I've had a lot of stories to challenge me to you." Ica squeezed, her hands twitching in Elin's arms.


"He felt wrong about me yesterday when Reyhan came home from school apologizing" Elin said as she walked to class.


Ica's forehead frowned in surprise, "I apologize?" reload Ica


"I'm sorry about what?" Ica walked quickly after Elin who left her. "Hey Elin, wait for me." call Ica


After successfully following Elin's steps, Ica bombarded Elin with questions.


"Why is Reyhan apologizing to you Lin? what mistake did he make? Why don't you want to tell me the same story? Lin come on. I'm your friend," the question came out without giving Elin a crack to answer any questions.


"Where do I want to answer, you from now on just do not give me the opportunity to talk," said Elin upset


"if it's one-on-one" continued Elin


"I can't tell you what made Reyhan feel guilty and sorry, it's Ica's privacy." Said Elin staring at Ica's face,


"Sorry," Elin felt guilty seeing Ica's disappointed face as she refused to tell me what made Ica curious.


"You're not cool." Ica was upset to leave Elin just like that.


The announcement of the implementation of the National Examination has been posted on the notice board, all students began to prepare themselves for the National Examination as soon as another week of exams will be held.


During this one week all students in grade 3 or IX are encouraged, in order to use the time off to study.


The reality is not with Elin, there is nothing different with Elin's activity. She still works to help you trade, and also do housework like a housewife. At night, he could use his time to study.


"Well, I'm sorry Elin couldn't help you these few days?" Elin did not feel the heart to see you alone doing a night job that is not small.


"What son, later mother also help abah, you just learn." Obviously abah


"Tonight there wasn't too much butter coming, don't think about it. You have to focus because this concerns the results of your learning these 3 years Lin." Abah looked at Elin to let Elin down.


"Alright, Elin studied in Bah's room" Elin passed to her room. Elin studied until almost midnight.


During the holidays Elin never miss his time for unimportant things. Elin studied and prayed for her graduation.


Monday is the day that has been determined to hold the national exam. Just today the exam was carried out, it seemed that all the disciples were ready in front of their respective examination rooms.


Elin sat holding the book open, she was seriously reading and learning what the book was about, a second later Ica broke Elin's concentration.


"Woy, seriously. No need to strain so napa, if the fate of graduating yes still pass, but if the fate has failed ya.. keep failing," Ica said casually, feeling no burden.


Elin did not respond, she continued reading the textbook, for Elin to pass the absolute necessity, there was no time to playfully respond to Ica's words.


"I'm on peanut," said Ica with a clear face, "you never change yes.


"I'm learning again, don't bother," Elin said without looking at Ica's face.


This kind of attitude that makes him not have many friends, his attitude that seems indifferent and not talk much makes the interlocutor bored.


"Not fun!" cetus Ica with a tinge, he passed leaving Elin who continued to focus on his book.


"The children's assistance does not want to be friends with him, too quiet is not fun," Ica who was upset continued to grumble while walking.


The bell rings, a sign that the exam will begin. All the students went into their own rooms.


Elin was already sitting on her bench, she looked ready for the test. Although he looked calm, in his heart he was agitated. Will he be able to answer the exam correctly? he continued to pray for the smooth running of his test.
