The Poor Girl's
Shy But Mature Girl

After you entered the house, Elin continued her work. Transporting things one by one into the house.

Elin lifted the item with both hands on the chair on the terrace, then turned to lift the item with the back exactly like carrying. As usual, Elin is this way so as not to feel heavy to hold the load.

While trying to lift the item, there was a voice that Elin was very familiar with. Elin was not surprised at all, this was indeed common to him.

"Girl, tweet.cuit..," a male voice teased Elin.

"Hi, wonder woman." Welcome again

Elin turned her head and just kept quiet not responding to the seductive words of someone who was always nosy to tease Elin. Elin passed by just continuing her work regardless of the man.

"You don't want to help me, here's my brother helping me." Still not giving up the boy just kept teasing him.

Elin's cheeks flushed in embarrassment at the man's temptations. Elin who was basically shy grew embarrassed. He was silent not because of indifference, more to his erratic feelings.

Unwilling to linger in such conditions Elin sped up her work. If you are constantly close to a man he will be nervous and groggy.

Arriving at the last item Elin felt a little relieved because after this it should not be the attention of the man anymore.

He's the IMAM's man

handsome man in white, has a high posture compared to boys his age, the same age as Elin but still sitting in 1st grade Junior High. He is handsome but unfortunately his brain is classified as unintelligent until several times staying in class. That made Elin ilfeel to her.

Even so Elin did not look down on the Imam, only he did not like the Imam who was often seen playing around compared to studying. Isn't he grateful to have plenty of time to study?

Elin finished her work. He entered the house without saying a word to the Imam. In the living room, I was counting my income today. Today's income is quite comparable if trading in a market near home.

"Elin take food, huh Bah?" tawang Elin

"Yes." Yeah." Said a short abah because he was busy calculating his actual income is not much.

Hearing the brother reply, Elin immediately walked towards the dining table to prepare a meal for the brother. This also included the habit of Elin preparing and bringing food to the abah, already the task of Elin's days. Unlike the mother who does not want to bring food.

After the plate filled with rice and sambal. Elin walked to the place where he was sitting and placed a plate filled with food and drinking water in front of his brother.

Elin sat in front of the abah, immediately Elin was filled to see the more and more aging days clearly visible wrinkles on the face with sweat continues to pour on his forehead.

"When will you continue this way?" inner Elin.

"Umah abah is old still have to slam bones to support us, abah has been working as hard as this long ago. There is still no improvement in our lives." The whisper of Elin's heart

Elin looked at the wrinkled face with a sad look, her eyes began to glaze over with glass unable to remember the struggle to make a living under the hot sun. There was no tear from the end of Elin's eyes. Soon Elin diverted her reflection to cover her grief from the abah.

Trying to withstand the tightness in the chest, Elin inhaled a deep breath trying to neutralize the feeling, repeatedly she did. After a little quiet Elin turned her mind to look for the invisible mother.

Not finding the whereabouts of mother, Elin asked. "Where's mom, Bah ?" ask Elin

"Have you eaten?" added Elin

"Behind maybe, look and ask if you've eaten yet?" abah who also did not see the mother had answered soberly. As well as remind Elin to ensure the existence of the mother.

Elin stood up and walked towards the back of the house, Elin found her mother lifting her clothes.

"Let Elin alone who lifted her clothes Mak," It seems Elin did not have the heart of mother just returned home looking for money, had to work alone at home.

"Emak rest, my mother is still tired just came home," Lirih Elin.

"Max have eaten?" a series of words spoken just like that from Elin, without giving mother a chance to respond.

"Mak just take Lin's change of clothes, your cupboard is empty." said Mak

At least the clothes that are owned by the mother, requires the mother to change clothes from clothesline because some are still not washed and some are still moist.

"What have you eaten?" ask mom.

"Make Mak eat." Answer Elin

"You go in first, take a shower" said the mother.

"You pick up the dry one," mother continued before going to take a shower.

Mak walks into the house to the bathroom, while Elin chooses dry clothes to bring into the house.

Finished his task Elin approached the brother who was still sitting in the previous place.

"Have you finished eating it?" ask Elin.

"Add Bah ?" ask again

" Abah is full, please help you to break up again Lin," said Abah

"Yes Bah,"

"Where's mom, Lin? get the rice,"

"Again bath, said the mother wants to take a shower first," replied Elin mimicking what she said earlier.

"It must be tired, Elin pijitin ya bah," pinta Elin

It is clear that he groaned in pain on the back when going to lie down. Without waiting for an answer, Elin immediately stomped on his back repeatedly.

"Where is the trade today, not Bah's rame?" the middle of spying on Elin invites abah to chat.

"Alhamdulillah Lin, good than yesterday. Actually if the full-fledged merchandise income is probably going to be more, many buyers want some goods, but the goods are empty." The words sounded soft.

Already made sure Elin could feel sadness in the speech abah, sad could not complete the merchandise. Again.. and.again.pretty not enough capital.

"Thank you Nak has pijitin abah, I'm grateful to have Elin who understands the situation abah. Want to help abah and never be ashamed to help abah," Abah expressed his pride.

"May your fate be better than abah, be diligent in learning Nak. As long as you can finance your school, stay upbeat. For the future we think about it later," said Abah

Given that Elin will soon face the National Examination, you do not want Elin to think much about the continuation of the next school.

"Ami... Elin will always remember your advice" Elin said

"Here son, have this good back. You rest first, surely you are tired since the morning has not rested?"

Abah always understood Elin's situation. Although Elin looks always spirit, actually Elin resisted her fatigue.

"So good really, Bah? Elin was not tired of the bah, who was tired of it from morning until noon this new can rest. If Elin had been on break at school, there would have been a break." Elin is still trying to convince you that she's okay, not tired at all.

Elin had always been able to cover up her anxiety when worrying about her, she did not want to be overwhelmed by her circumstances.

Quite difficult economy so burden abah, not again he adds to the mind of his parents. That's what Elin thought.

His young age is able to think, with the thought of him like that. Understanding and understanding the condition of the parents makes it appear mature in attitude.

Feeling better as he fell asleep on the floor, Elin was unaware of it. Abah's position is behind him.

Elin continued to look at his back with a pushy look. Wrinkled skin is inedible age, not age.more precisely old because of the bitterness of life that forces to work hard. He looks older than his age.

"May you be healthy always and live a long life." Elin
