Early today his mother and son were busy in the kitchen preparing sales items for his daughter who would be brought to school. They start cooking after tahajud prayers.
“Bu, it's Thursday. What's mom fasting tomorrow?” Ask the girl while reminding her mother.
“Iya son, fasting,” replied Siti.
“Kita sahur together ya Bu,” pinta the girl to the mother.
“Iya son, can,” replied Siti
Arumi and her mother always observe the Sunnah fast. After the meal they continued cooking. They stopped at dawn.After they finished making their wares the girl left for school with her sisters.
Arriving at school, the atmosphere at the school is still quiet at 06.40. The girl went into the classroom putting a plastic box of fried foods and crackers under the table. He took off the bag on his back. Arum pulled out the book from the bag. He read the book. Ardi watched Arum from his seat. Ardi watched Arumi who looked very beautiful.
Ardi walked towards Arumni's desk.
“Hai..” Someone surprised him from behind.
“What,” replied the girl
“Ngapain?” Ask Ardi
“Don't see me read,” said the girl.
“Ooo..” Sitting in the front seat of Arum.
Arum was still busy with the book in his hands.
“What?” ask the girl later. He looked up at the man in front of him.
“Nothing,” replied Ardi briefly
“Terus?” Ask the girl back.
“Let's be UN and pass. Are you continuing college?” asked Ardi with a bit of hesitation.
“Do not know ah, dark,” replied the girl.
“Why, it's a pity that you don't continue. What's your plan?” Ask the young man.
“There is no money for tuition. You see for yourself what my condition is. Son of a vegetable widow.” The sad voice of Arum.
“Perhaps after graduation from SMA I will work,” with a thin smile.
“Energy. I support you,” said the man later. He tried to give energy to his best friend.
“You?” The girl asked back
“I plan college at UI take medicine,” said the man.
“I do’ain pass,” said the girl sincerely.
“Still,” reply Ardi.
“If you pass, don't forget to treat me yes,” the door.
“OK want in what treat?” Ask the young man.
“Bakso.” which is the girl's favorite menu.
“Bby,” replied the man.
“You fast?” Ardi knew that Arumi had never stayed on his sunnya fast.
“Iya, you?” Answer the girl.
“Again M,” reply Ardi.
“Lazy or masturbate?” Canda Arumi.
Ardi glaring, “since when did tau masturbate.” He asked with a frown, looking at arum with a sharp look.
“Hare that guy talking often. What is masturbation?” Belagu doesn't know.
“Emang really don't know? Want me to tell you?” Challenge that man.
Arumi immediately glared and said, “no need. I know it already. Studying biology at ulasin.”
“Udah is starting to flirt with you,” said the man with a faint smile on his lips.
“You first,” said Arumi while smiling shyly, and trying to dodge.
Again engrossed in the story, his classmates began to arrive.
Ardi Wijaya son of a camat in his village. The largest plantation owner in the village. So if he graduated medicine. His father could not afford to pay for his son. Different from Arumi. Who had to fight to help his mother.
The doorbell rings. All the kids came in.
During the break the girl uses her time to sell. The girl looked around to each class offering her merchandise fried foods. And thank God today it's all gone. It seems that the girl was very happy. He does not have many friends, it can be said that very rarely anyone wants to be close to him. He just spends his time studying and selling.
Not felt, time passed so quickly. Arumi faces national exams. Within this week. He's busy testing and not selling fries and crackers. The girl was so focused on the exam. After the exam period. Their school announces students who graduated from State University through the PBUD pathway. And it turns out that Ardi graduated from UI medicine. Arumi was very happy to hear that. He glanced at Ardi who was so happy.
“Still do’anya Rum,” Ardi sits on an empty seat in front of Arumi.
“Sama-sama,” said back.
“Let me you promised, said the girl who reminded her friend's promise.
“Come, I'll give you a treat. Even you are free to eat how much,” reply Ardi.
Arum nodded his head.
Ardi hugs the girl with his red Kawasaki Klx motorcycle. Eating in the city was their main destination. About 1 hour from the village they finally currently sit in a meatball stall that is quite famous there.
“You order what deck,” ask the meatball brother.
“Devil meatballs, drink iced tea,” said the girl.
“Ordinary meatballs, iced tea,” said the young man when the meatballer asked him.
Ardi fell silent. He looks pensive.
“Hai why daydream,” Arumi said break the atmosphere.
“I will rarely be able to meet you,” said Ardi with a face that looks sad.
“Call me if you miss,” replied Arumi while raising her eyebrows and smiling.
Ardi smiled at the girl's behavior. The meatballs came. They ate the meatballs.
“Enak meatonya,” said the girl with an inexhaustible mouth insert meatballs that have been cut into small pieces.
“Iya,” reply Ardi.
“I didn't tell mom that I went with you Di. I'm afraid mom's worried. We go home yuk.” Arumi said after finishing her meatball.
“Iya may,” replied Ardi.
When going to pay it turns out Ardi asked the youngest meatballs 3 more.
“Nih,” said Ardi while giving three packs of meatballs to the girl.
“For whom?” The girl's face without touching.
“Mother and your adek-adek,” reply Ardi.
“Still,” says the girl. The girl's face was very happy.
Ardi brought the girl home.
“Hold, later fell,” Ardi said As the girl climbed on the motor.
“Already,” said the girl.
“Mana,” tanya later.
“Nih.” Hold the iron in the seat.
The man turned his head back. He smiled when he saw Arum holding the iron behind his motorcycle seat. Arriving at Arumi's house, Ardi said goodbye to her mother. And home. The meatballs under Ardi of course make the scenes happy.
It felt like that time was running. The graduation announcement has arrived. Arumi becomes the student who gets the highest UN grade in their district. And after that. Arum looked a little confused. He has to dare to step. It is impossible to survive in the village. He should try to wander.
“Mother..” after strengthening the heart. Finally, the girl ventured to talk to her mother.
“Iya son,” replied the mother.
“Bu, Arum going to Jakarta,” said the girl.
Mom's eyes immediately glared and said, “can't.”
“Why bu?” Ask the girl later.
“You know Jakarta? What else mom no money.” Siti asked with a pale-looking face.
“Know mom. But Arum wants to find work in Jakarta. And if you look at the value of UN Arum. It seems the company would accept it. If it's money, Arum's got a stash. Mother need not worry. Arum wants to lighten the burden of mother.” Obviously Arumi was at length to convince his mother.
“But son, Jakarta is very dangerous,” said his mother who still maintains her stance so that her son does not wander.
“Arum can take care of yourself and martial ma'am. Arum has often been to Jakarta kok bu,” said the girl assured her mother.
“But it's the same entourage,” replied Siti later.
“But Arum can bu. I don't need to worry,” said the girl reassured her mother. He did not want to see his mother have to feel excessive anxiety. Because it is very bad for the health of the mother. After convincing his mother. With a heavy heart, my mother finally allowed it.
