The morning dawned leaving a dark night of sunlight shining down on the earth. Before the sun came up, he... Elin has started her morning activities helping her parents work as usual.
Elin was used to getting up early, at dawn. When her age is still sleeping soundly in a beautiful dream but not with Elin, she must wake up at the right time so as not to be late to school after helping abah.
At exactly 05:30 the work was done as Elin got ready to take a shower and left for school.
"Emak, Elin took a bath." Pinta Elin, because it seems that mother will also immediately take a bath with her hand holding a towel.
"Don't be long, mom wants to go to the market too." Say mak with a tinge.
It was obvious that her face was upset in Elin's eyes, "why do you, my mother often talks like that?" Elin wondered to herself what her mistake was so that her mother always acted snugly to her.
"What makes you always act like that to me?" inner Elin
"That's it. I have to hurry, you'll be more upset." Elin dispelled all her thoughts that might have slowed her bathing.
---------
"Presents." Muttered Elin who had just finished tying his shoelaces.
"It's time to go." Elin spoke as if to stir up the spirit of her morning.
Before leaving Elin stopped by the market where my brother and mother traded, he would say goodbye and ask for pocket money.
Paasar
"Elin's going to school, Mak, Bah." Elin.
This is the way Elin expressed her wish that she was asking for pocket money, she never said directly the word 'ask' because it seemed disrespectful to her. The mother who understood it immediately reached into her pocket and gave the pocket money to Elin.
"Here's your pocket money, remember hurry home and be careful." Said Mom while giving a 5000 bill.
Five grand? yeah.just 5000. Is it enough for Elin? sure doesn't. With that kind of money in the current state of course nothing compared to the pocket money of his peers, maybe he is the lowest in his pocket money compared to his peers.
If only in that position were other children, probably would not receive given enough pocket money to eat instant noodles only.But not with Elin, he received with a smile, he received with a smile, he did not question the pocket money that is not how much, for him the school to add knowledge not for snacks.
A little pocket money does not affect his spirit to go to school, precisely because of this Elin chose to go and go home from school on foot.
"Yes, mother." Answer Elin.
While smiling, Elin received the money she offered, not forgetting that she grabbed her parents' hand and kissed the back of the hand and said hello.
"Assalamualaikum" said Elin
"Waalaikumsalam," answered mother and brother together.
School
Elin seemed to enter the school gate with a breath of breath, a sign that she had just run.
"huh.huh...huh...nghuh.."
"Thank God it's not in yet, but why is it... This hour is still not in yet ?" Elin said as she looked at the clock on her wrist that showed it at 07:05. That means the children should have started the lesson at this time, but seeing the situation around there are still many children sitting casually chatting in front of the class.
His steps came to a standstill in front of 3B class when his gaze looked at the laughing male with the female with him, he was Reyhan and Ica.
Feeling sad, disappointed, happy, confused, and nervous mixed into one in Elin.Laughter that made Elin fascinated him, he said, the crisp and loose laughter that always overshadowed Elin's mind during this school. Disappointed in yourself who can not escape from the shadow because of him... Reyhan couldn't have had the feeling.
Elin was stunned and kept looking at the two people who were laughing, there was no awkwardness between them, no shame between them. They look familiar unlike him who always has difficulty controlling themselves when dealing with Reyhan. He was too awkward and embarrassed when dealing with Reyhan.
Elin is sad why can't be ordinary with Reyhan, if only he could be as ordinary as a friend maybe he can laugh together make friends and of course can be close friends with Reyhan. How thought.
It's all just Elin's mind. In fact, he can't. He can't act as if he doesn't have any feelings for Reyhan, the feeling of liking makes him nervous, groggy and awkward every time he faces Reyhan. That was the reason Elin couldn't get close to Reyhan even though she wanted to. This feeling is enough he knows, likes. No, not just love. Love in the heart!
She's too embarrassed if her attitude is clearly visible in Reyhan's eyes, even though she has feelings for Reyhan she doesn't want Reyhan to know, she'll be ashamed because she's a girl, moreover, Reyhan did not have the same feeling as him, he thought.
"Woy Elin's... Elin..." A voice called out to Elin who was apparently a call from the woman who was with Reyhan. Ica, yes...Her name was Ica.
"Again from earlier called not answer." Ica said as she approached Elin.
"Eh, yes I'm not horrified." Elin replied while trying to return his mind that was lost somewhere.
"On the first day, it's not good to know." Ica said, "taste tau kesambet you know." Connect again.
"I'm not bengong Ca, I'm surprised at this hour outside still rame children." After a few minutes of silence, Elin finally got a reason to cover up the truth Ica said.
"You don't know?" ask Ica
"You what?" Elin asked back
"Hadeh, you are. Where did you not hear what announcement?" Ica said in a slightly annoyed tone.
"I just came." Briefly Elin
"Tumben tumbenan you bad luck?" Ica said, "My method is always disciplined, this is the impact of bad luck." Connect the Ica that emphasizes the word tau
"So there's an announcement, if today we're free, there's no lesson time." Ica said, "teacher has a meeting." Connect again.
"Oh..." That's all that came out of Elin's mouth. It was so short that it made the interlocutor cluck in annoyance at hearing such a response.
"Oh? that's your reaction." Ica said in disbelief at Elin's usual response after hearing the announcement that freed them from today's lesson, quite different from the response of other children who were very enthusiastic and happy.
Ica left just like that with an annoyed face leaving Elin who was astonished by Ica's attitude.
"Why does he look upset?" inner Elin, "Emang I have to jump that?" mumbling Elin.
Not taking a headache Elin continued her steps towards class, she walked quickly because it seemed Reyhan was no longer there.
In a hurry Elin stepped up she was afraid that Reyhan would reappear before her. He was so embarrassed to see only Reyhan's face that was able to make him die of lice.
Elin walked quickly without paying attention to the left right, so that his shoulder hit the shoulder of someone who had just come out of the classroom that Elin passed.
Bruyne
"aww.. Ouch..."
