The Poor Girl's
Elin's Nervousness

The time shows at 12:30 o'clock sign that the lesson hour is over and the time for students to go home from school.

The bell rings as students leave each class. Elin walked out of the classroom towards the gate, as usual Elin went home on foot. If the morning Elin went to school walking looks different if at home, Elin seemed to walk home in crowds with other children.

The way home was a lot of fun for him because he did not feel alone and the journey did not feel far. In the middle of the journey Elin saw not far from where he was walking looked like the man who had met him this morning was in front not far from his position now.

He also came home on foot.

"Don't Reyhan usually come home on foot?" Elin wondered to herself

"Why did I see him again?" mumbling Elin.

Elin was nervous and embarrassed every time she saw Reyhan, not to mention that she was confused about what she would behave like.

Amidst the confusion Elin kept stepping, there was no way she would stop, it would be very nervous.

The more Elin steps the closer she gets to Reyhan. Reyhan noticed Elin walking over, he smiled at Elin.

"Pass Lin?" ask Reyhan.

Sounds like a stale base. Of course that's not a question that's obviously still being asked. Funny...

"Yes," One word came out of Elin's mulit.

"With yuk," Reyhan asked.

Reyhan looks relaxed as always. But not with Elin, surprised would not believe in taking the road together. Glad to be mixed confused nestled in Elin's mind. Confused if he had to accept his invitation, because surely he would not be able to behave normally. Yeah, he understands himself.

In the end Elin refused, not unwilling. Only avoid embarrassment if later can not control his nervous and groggy behavior when together later.

"Sorry Rey, I'm ahead. Hurry up, "that's why Elin

Without waiting for Reyhan's reply, Elin walked quickly away from Reyhan.

A few minutes later Elin arrived home.

"Assalamualaik." Elin said a greeting, but there was no answer from within. A sign that no one is in the house means that your mother and brother have not returned.

Because there was no answer, to make sure Elin crouched down to see the house key, whether it was still in place or not. Apparently there's.

Elin pulled the key from its place then walked towards the door, inserted the key and opened it.

The open door looks like a living room with woven mats that when seated only fit 4 people. There are no sofas and no wall hangings. All make things clear, the owner of a Simple man's house. Very homely.

Elin took off her shoes and rushed in because she had to cook for her parents, who might be coming home soon. Given his parents trade among the far, it would certainly be tiring to also feel hungry.

Cooking here is not like cooking most people with various side dishes and vegetables. Cook in this family in the sense of making food that can be eaten for friends to eat rice, not necessarily side dishes and vegetables. Just potluck.

After changing clothes, Elin headed for the kitchen. Looking at the existing supplies it was impossible for Elin to saute or fry due to the absence of oil. If you have to buy he has no money because it was not given money to shop this morning.

Confirm what's inside the hood. Elin towards the dining table opened the hood which turned out there was only white rice, no sambal.

Elin decided to make sambal, for both parents Elin must have sambal to eat them, it was enough.

That's what Elin had in mind.

All in ulek into one chili onion, mangosteen, do not forget to add salt and flavoring. Finish the chili in the moved to the container and ready to be eaten with rice.

Sambal matah this family version is ready, yes. Sambal matah is much cheaper and easier way to make it, they are already accustomed to this way all because of the circumstances...

"It's ready" muttered Elin.

"Why you haven't come home yet..." Elin was restless

Because the day had already shown at 14:00, moreover the journey of his parents far away made Elin worried.

"I eat first" muttered Elin

While waiting for the return of his parents Elin ate with sambal matah, his empty stomach was asked to fill from the trip home earlier. But the encounter with Reyhan eliminated the hunger in his stomach.

Already accustomed to a difficult life, Elin never complained about what was eaten, for him this was common. When asked delicious? of course it is better to eat with kale stir-fry, but whatever the power.again obstacles he does not hold the money.

Sambal matah which is interpreted with this family is raw sambal in the sense that it is not fried.

They do not know and do not understand the making of the current sambal matah, again the situation.

If most people know sambal matah it is really made from raw but not with them.

In the village of mother and abah sambal matah is actually the same as the manufacture of sambal matah Elin version.

Different may be the situation if they have a television to add to their information, especially Elin.

Be honest... Elin was confused when watching television at the neighboring house she saw the chili sauce made by the chef on TV was different from the way of making the sambal matah Elin.

But he didn't think much of it.

Tok...

The sound of the door knocking.

"That's my brother and mother" thought Elin.

Buru-buru Elin walked towards the house into the living room and opened the door.

Chequelek

The door was open, it was true that she looked old and mother with her tired face.

"Assalamual." Abah and mother at the same time.

"Wa'alaikumsalam Mak, Bah." Elin replied as she reached out to welcome her parents' hands, kissing the back of her brother's hand and mother alternately. It's a form of respect for his parents.

Elin is always taught to be polite and respectful to parents. That way when it comes and goes from home.

After that, Elin went out to help her transport goods from outside in brought into the house. This habit of Elin helps you without having to ask. It's Elin's job if you come home from among the people. No, not a job for him. More precisely a must for Elin.

"So come in Bah, Elin continues everything." Elin.

Elin could not bear to see the reddish black skin on his face that proved that he had been facing the blazing sun everyday, basking in the rays to make a living to support them.
