The Struggle of a Child

The Struggle of a Child
Readings from friends part 2


The upright school wall stood firmly looking and caressing my weak little body along with its warm backrest and removing the veil. Ants lined up on the wall looked at me suspiciously as if full of question marks, what's wrong with me?


Tears that bore in the eye patch stared softly at the floor while holding down the falling crystal grains soaking both cheeks.


This morning I was so electrocuted, a violent blow struck the tiny body of the weak that it made me tremble far into the corner of the wall. Silent, silent and stiff. The pale lips that could speak even though they were stammering now seemed to tremble. I could only swallow the pain that made this weak little body feel full.


A family life of deprivation and a sickly little body made me eat breakfast to the pain of filling every second.


My suffering so felt dragging into the valley to piluan. I want it to feel like this hand is taking and throwing everything away. But that's the world! The world can only see and add as it pleases. If only he could throw it away for a while.


Again I was so depressed hearing what I did not want to hear insults, insults and even slurs that made my crown want to break.


The age that should be filled with happiness. This is even filled with shackles that make themselves more down.


Every second I just ask myself, am I being reviewed or not today? Every time I stepped up, the question always accompanied me as if he was guarding myself so that I wouldn't run away from him. Every second I have to neutralize my heart at times I don't want to.


Widia looked so sorry for me, she was so loyal to be next to me, guarding from the slurs of Ecy and Tania.


"Hey! Widia you know what about that!" Pekik Ecy with a high voice. "You're still a kid, you don't know anything."Continue Ecy. Cynical.


"You don't know about sin yet." Connect Tania. "By any child is innocent." Ticus. Glancing Widia.


Instantly I was silent to see Widia who got a hardship from the two of them.


"Widia, let's just get out of here." Take me in a soft voice. Approaching Widia. "I'm afraid, their voices are too loud." My whisper in Widia's ear. Trembling looked forward and glanced at Ecy and Tania.


The hallway of the class filled with flowers lined up neatly heard their loud voices as if jolted and wanted to get away. A voice that so disturbed the calmness that stood on it.


"Hey Liyan! Why are you leaving us? You're embarrassed, aren't you? Ask Ecy in a soft tone of voice. "Therefore, you don't want to go to school here!" Continue Ecy. "This is a school for people with a lot of money. Not someone like you. Poor people! The pocket money is less!" Hina Ecy with a mocking face. Grins.


"It's Ecy!" Welcome Tania ketus. Swing your feet to the end of the stone slowly. "You don't know, our pocket money!" Tania continued arrogantly. "Here you go, ask!" The bridge again spread the money to my pale face.


Previously I who stood still looking down beside Widia, silent and listening to what they threw at me while gripping my fingers firmly, I did not feel this sad. Seeing the money that Tania put on my pale face made me see nothing. I was so embarrassed and humiliated that I was beaten.


Beautiful eyes can no longer see. It was as if I felt like I had made such a big mistake that it made me close my eyes.


Batapa not? The money he has is not worth the money I have. That is the harsh reality I must admit.


"Widia, let's go to the cafeteria, come on!" Take slowly. Seeing Widia.


"It's already! Let's go to the cafeteria. They're too mean to you." Cetus Widia's. Seeing with annoyance.


"Liyan, are you going to the cafeteria? Don't worry, you sit there until the bell comes in. You have no money." Sindir Tania with arrogance. Walked.


"She Widia, you don't want to take Liyan, she'll ask for your money." Connect Ecy with a grin. It was as if humbling Liyan with pleasure. "If he asks for your money. Your money is over! Then what will you do?" Connect Ecy back. Walking while looking at me with a humbling face.


"I have money!" I said softly and embarrassed. Walked.


"Your money exists? Ahaha! At most just buy two sweets." Sindir Tania glanced with a smrik laugh.


So stunned was my heart, as if a hard punch came hitting with all its might that it made me unable to lift my head upright.


"His turn is asking for Widia's money." Connect Ecy with mock. "People like him where there's pocket money." Ticus.


"There's my pocket money! Last morning my father gave me a thousand." My speech is plain.


Ahaha! Ecy and Tania's laughter was heard breaking the earth violently. " One thousand! A thousand get what?!" Sindir Tania while looking at the pocket money he held.


"Dapatla Tania! Cetus Ecy slowly. Looking at Ecy while laughing mockingly which was aimed at me.


"Can what? Ask Ecy to know. Looking at Tania with question marks. Enter canteen.


"There's an Ice Candle, one!" Tania's ejek slightly pressed her speech while raising her lips upwards with a mocking face and swung her one-finger hand into the air as a justifying gesture.


The weak legs that stepped so trembling heard the ridicule from them. It felt like it was destroying all parts of my life, as if screaming to get away from them. However, again it must be stopped because the tiny body is weak so close everything tightly, so there is no small gap for fragile.


As much as possible I continue to survive and support all by myself without the slightest complaint, let alone deep regret until it must contain all become tangled.


While Widia who continued to be at the side walked along with me. It was as if covering his hearing from the words of Ecy and Tania who were not praiseworthy.


" Liyan, we've reached the cafeteria." Widia. See.


"We're sitting here Widia!" Take me. Walk toward the long chair that unfolds neatly near the wall, right in the corner of the door.


"Alright Liyan! Then we'll just sit here." Cetus Widia's. Sit over.


For the sake of a fragile soul I must endure. Sit with heart sorrow. Enjoy being together with other friends in the cafeteria. Feeling the breeze that tucked in the ear so that it made my hair scattered. The warm sun touched the body as if burning all the slurs that greeted without being expected. Withstand small crystal grains that will fall that can make the floor moan sore.


The ground I stepped on seemed to help me to walk solidly. The laughter of the children in the cafeteria seemed to comfort me though indirectly.


Widia and I ordered food to our taste. Food that will fill an empty stomach. The long chair we were sitting on now we left and moved closer to the storefront sitting firmly on the table.


"Liyan, what message?" Widia asked while looking at the window. Stand up and approach.


"I'll order a donut." I answered seeing a doughnut sprinkled with a chocolate topping on it. Stand with Widia looking at the storefront.


"If I were Liyan! I'd like to order some condiment noodles. That's my favorite snack." Widia continued to look at the noodles located in a small bowl while looking at the spices stored in a closed container.


The other children were busy with their attacks approaching the canteen which seemed busy serving some teachers. So that it overwhelmed him.


Uwa is none other than Uwa Elis who has been selling for years in our school. He is very friendly and joking, so many students and teachers like to come to buy into his cafeteria. He who had been standing for a long time, approached the two of us. Ask what we want.


Ahaha! The laughter of Widia and I was heard instantly which made Ecy and Tania look so heated that her face was flushed red like fire.


"I bought uwa condiment noodles." Widia flat. Swallow.


"If Liyan pes...." Suddenly uwa Elis stopped continuing his talk.


"Let's say he doesn't have to ask! The money doesn't exist, then he can't pay money." Cut Ecy. Throwing a glance at me with a sneer.


"It's uwa! It will go bankrupt." Tiani Typhoon. Take fried foods.


"....engga may be so, you guys are friends. So, fellow friends can't mock, it's a sin. You're a sin, aren't you, son? Continue to see Ecy and Tania while preparing an order of seasoning noodles. "If he has nothing! Uwa will give thanks! You do not need to pay as long as you do not steal because stealing is sinful and harms others. If we give without being paid, it's called alms." Walk taking a spoon.


"If often - often, we can poor dong uwa." Reply Tania spontaneously. Fried chewing.


"Who said poor?! That's a fool!" Uwa! Uwa engga poor, but uwa more and more in love, hahaha" Cetus uwa Elis by opening a little lips. Looking at me while giving me the doughnuts I ordered.


Ecy and Tania were so restless to hear the advice of Uwa Elis that they shifted the topic in the other direction. His ugly face seemed to hit me so much that it became a subject of conversation.


They were so biting both molars strongly. So that makes me as fast as possible to take a donut from the hand of uwa Elis .


"Thank you Uwa." My answer. Ducking while turning the body. While Widia was still standing with the seasoning noodles in her hand as if she wanted to join the two of them.


"Where's the spoon?" Ask Widia. Standing slightly closer to Ecy and Tania. Widia seemed to be eager to swallow them both looks from her sharp gaze and tight face.


"Oh boy! Means Uwa forgot because Uwa was too happy advising." He said with a smile. Walk and pick up a spoon located in the corner of the storefront. "It's the spoon!"


"Thank you Uwa." Sahut Widia walks away from Uwa Elis, Ecy and Tania. Walking with the condiment noodles in her hand sat down near me.


"You two don't like to mock a friend like that!" Uwa Elis softly advised. "That's no good, son! If anyone else hears, Uwa is sure you're angry." Uwa Elis. Staring at Ecy and Tania.


"Uwa, we were just telling Uwa. If the sales person can't get into debt." Connect Tania. Piqued.


It was as if Tania felt that the cause of uwa Elis saying that to the two of them was because of me. So that his pajas face was so sharp glanced at me.


They both seemed to not accept the delivery of Uwa Elis. Everything I heard, even though it was so slow, made my heart heal for a moment, even if only for a moment.


The chocolate doughnut that filled my pain so gently slipped in my throat.


Highlight my eyes, trying to get Widia to talk.


"Widia, they're so happy to laugh at me." Saying with a clean sliver. "I saw it from the tail of my eyes they were so happy." Holding donuts.


Then Widia stopped the spoon swinging in the air near her lips. With a spontaneous look he saw Ecy and Tania sitting at the end of the chair right opposite me.


Their laughter was so crisp and cynical looking at me as if I was so laughable to them.


"Liyan, you shut up! Don't fight them. I'm afraid they'll hit you." And the teacher will definitely scold you and defend them because they're rich kids." Cecar Widia with a soft look. Looking at me with a pleading face and a slight nod as a gesture that I should follow what was said by him.


"Lt Widia! I am also brave with them. I'm afraid my father will scold me. Because my dad doesn't like it when I fight with anyone." I put doughnuts in my mouth and bit. Spoons.


"What did your father do when you fought with your friend?!" Widia asked inquisitively. Put the last mouth in his mouth.


"Defend on the outside, but....!" Suddenly I stopped my next words. Looking at the doughnut that stayed a little in hand with a soft and sizzling softly.


"But...what's Liyan?" Widia asked inquisitively. Staring at me.


"....If it has reached home I was angered back by my father." I continued with sadness. Insert the last piece of donut into the mouth slowly. Turn your head towards Widia.


Widia's face was so sad to hear it. He gave me candy so I could be quiet.


"Candy?!" I muttered little while looking at the candy. Raising my head straight saw Widia as soon as my sadness disappeared for a moment.


"Well, that's candy my mom said, good for sad people." Widia said so confidently. Seeing with a faint smile.


"This is gum, long bear !" I said softly stunned as I swung the candy into the air. Staring fixedly by curling my pale lips. "Where do you know this is good for sad people, which means how Widia I don't understand." I returned with wonder. Shaking his head slowly.


"Liyan told my mom that we ate this candy! Sad we're gonna be gone." Cetus Widia firmly. "Because if we chew it we will definitely keep it from being swallowed because we must be afraid that the candy is swallowed. So, sad we're missing!" Widia continued with a smile.
