Elin stepped intending to head home, but her steps stopped getting a voice calling her name.
"Elins." Call someone who turns out to be one of the teachers at his school
"Yes, what's wrong, ma'am?" ask Elin
"You haven't collected the High School registration form yet?" ask a teacher named Ida.
"Tomorrow you must bring to school so that you can be registered. Otherwise, the day after registration closes means you don't have a chance to go to public school." Obviously mother Ida
"Yes ma'am, I'll bring it tomorrow" replied Elin
"Alright, tomorrow don't forget to gather to mother." Said mom Ida
Elin has now arrived home, the next few weeks she is off school. No more activities at school. Next goal is to apply to High School.
The choice fell on State 1 High School in the city, Earth City where he grew up. There are 2 State High Schools in the city.
The distance between Elin's house and State High School 1 is quite far, but he made his choice at the State High School.
There is another State High School whose distance is not as far as SMA Negeri 1, namely SMA Negeri 2.
Even so Elin did not choose State High School 2 on the grounds that the school was located close to where Elin used to live, at the time he was still sitting in Elementary School first. Which means if he chooses State High School 2 there will be a high chance that he will go to school with friends when he sits in Elementary School first.
She doesn't want to meet her SD friends. Elin did not want a school with friends when she was in Primary School, Elin was traumatized by her past while in Primary School.
Today as promised, Elin came to the school to collect a form containing data to apply to the next school.
After finishing with the school business, Elin immediately walked home. While crossing Reyhan's house, Elin sees Reyhan walking out of his house with a suitcase in his hand.
Elin's forehead frowned deeply, seeing Reyhan dressed neatly as if about to travel far away, Reyhan had not realized Elin was watching him.
Reyhan walked towards the car in front of the fence, as he stopped his steps. His eyes squinted to ensure his eyesight. He was more and more certain that in front of him Elin was standing looking at him.
Reyhan walked up to Elin, he smiled. Elin was shocked, as if Elin was caught stealing.
Reynan smiled, "Hi Elin." Sapa Reyhan's
"Hi Rey," Elin smiled awkwardly, she was embarrassed.
"Where are you from, aren't we on holiday?" Reyhan was astonished to see Elin's performance in the school uniform.
"I'm from collecting the High School registration form" replied Elin
"Which SMA is your choice?" ask Reyhan
"SMA Country 1" replied Elin,
"You seem to be leaving," said Elin revealing what was on her mind.
"Yes I will go to the capital, continue my education there as I have told you." Answer Reyhan
Elin was sad, "so fast?" Elin looked at Reyhan
"Yes, tomorrow's the day after that it's time to re-list. I have to leave today, school time there is earlier than school entry time in this city" Reyhan explained.
Reyhan could see the sadness on Elin's face, the mimic change on that plain face made her anxious. Unconsciously Reyhan rubbed the top of Elin's head and said, "see you next time," Reyhan said to pass.
Reyhan smiled then rubbed the top of Elin's head a few times, Elin was stunned to find Reyhan's sweet treatment.
His heart warmed, there was a different feeling there. I don't know what kind of feeling it is, but he's obviously really flattered at the moment.
After that Reyhan turned around leaving Elin, then got into the car. He sat on the passenger seat. Not long after the car started to run, the open car glass revealed Reyhan's face with his hands waving towards Elin.
Elin saw the car was running. Her.... Reyhan's first love leaves after she starts to get close to him making friends, Reyhan leaves after giving little hope for Elin's love.
"He.. go.." - Elijah Elin. When he gets closer to Reyhan, circumstances push them back.
"Even fate doesn't want us to be close together" whispered Elin's heart, along with it a clear drop of feathers dripping at the end of her eyes.
Elin rubbed the edge of her eyes, the deep sadness made Elin forget to return Reyhan's smile and wave. He regains consciousness after the shadow of the car carrying Reyhan disappears.
"My story with her is really over," Elin concluded, Reyhan's departure is the end of her love story.
Elin continued to move towards the house, arriving at Elin's house changing uniforms and starting her activities.
The new school year has begun, right today Elin started school at State High School 1 Earth City. Today she is very excited about starting a new day at the new school she is going to knit in despair.
It looked like Elin was already preparing in a white-gray uniform. The smile on his face continued to expand, radiating happiness on his face.
"Alhamdulillah mak, Elin still did not expect to be able to continue school," said Elin who felt his dream was realized.
"You're the right school, studying hard. How difficult it is for you to reach your wishes, remember always the difficult times when you are struggling to achieve the desire to continue to this High School. Remember those hard times so you can be thankful" mother advised Elin.
"Elin will remember everything mak, Elin will be diligent in learning. Elin will not disappoint mother and brother," Elin said with confidence.
"Are you okay wearing those shoes" she said, pointing to the shoes Elin was wearing.
Shabby shoes look faded, the color that should be black looks gray. The shoes are not new shoes.
"I'm sorry you can't buy new clothes for you" she felt guilty because in the new school year Elin didn't wear new shoes like other children.
"Nothing mak," Elin did not mind the new shoes or old, for her school to add knowledge. Just being able to continue high school has made him lucky.
"The lacerations on the sole of the shoe will be visible if you step, are you sure it's okay?" you know exactly the shoes that Elin is wearing at this time are not worth it, in the sole part of the shoe is torn and it can make Elin embarrassed.
Yeah, Elin's school with his old gear. There were no new shoes, no new bags, not even the uniform that she used in her old clothes while still sitting in Junior High, which looked different just a gray skirt. It was only that skirt that he bought the rest of the old clothes.
The money factor is a strong reason in this case, life is all short of making Elin rack his brain in order to stay in school.
He fixed the stitches on his uniform, he changed the logo on the uniform, really happened what he used to think.
There will be a time when the school uniform will be in use, as evidenced today everything he thinks.
"It's okay mom" replied Elin
Elin honestly felt less confident using the old equipment, even though she accepted this situation.
He is still a high school boy who wants to look like a new learner.
He was also an ordinary human being, who had a desire and shame when different from others.
