The Struggle of a Child
The Road
I opened my eyes and saw what else? Turns out he's nervous. Maybe, because my bed is so uncomfortable. Because I saw him moving his body back and forth. Come here looking for a comfortable place.My bed is not comfortable because it is only made of a few pieces of board and does not wear a pedestal like, mattress! Perhaps, he was not as used to the bed as I was.
My father didn't have enough money to buy a mattress. He was just, a paddle-piercing carrier whose income was just enough to eat us. In fact, sometimes it was lacking and my father was not infrequently too, he had to owe.
My brother and I were taken care of by my father from childhood. After my mother's death, I was very understanding to my father. We never demand beyond his ability.Sometimes, we often hold back what we want.
In the middle of sleep!
My mother's snort was heard in my ear. As if he was saying, what the hell is this bed? so hard that my body hurts to sleep here!
A little, I pity to see it but, what? which I can do. I was a kid and I couldn't do anything.
Sleep, ah! I murmured in my heart.
Morning!
"Dad! Where's my breakfast?"I stood beside my father with a sweet smile.
"This, boy! Ready, eat it!" While my father was serving rice in front of me.
"Dad, don't you work?"
"Yes, son! Work ?"Ask my dad to come back to me.
I also sat alone with my father. While enjoying the dishes that my father has served.
Meanwhile, in another place a woman who is none other than my own mother. Standing in front of the mirror while combing her hair with a bit of a sour face. Walking into my room while glancing at us.
"Dad! I'm leaving,ya! Assalamualaikum Father." Walked out into my father's hand.
"Yes, be careful, boy!"My father answered while stroking my head.
After I walk into my school. Suddenly I saw my friend who was in my direction.
"Liyan, wait!"He screamed while chasing me.
I walk the fun. Enjoyed my simple journey. Not so, hearing the scream because of the number of motors that pass on the road. It made a loud noise in my ears.
the puk!
I was also immediately surprised. Instantly my sweet footsteps came to a halt and looked back with a slightly pale face of fear. My heart was beating rapidly at once.
"Wid." I said by removing my chest.
"Wait me! From then on, I called you. While I run until my leg is hurt." Widia said while looking at her feet.
"Sorry! I didn't hear. The motor is so loud." I said with regret.
In such bright sunlight. We too, walked while crossing such a long road. The black asphalt was seen shining due to the scorching sunlight. It's not just us. The boy who crossed this road. There were some of our schoolchildren, and they also looked like they were walking a lot. Like, we are, on foot.
The road I walked with my friend. Finally, send us also to the gate that all the children go to, the "school gate", I said in my heart. While smiling cheerfully. Seeing my beautiful school that is growing many trees and flowers that bloom.
From the school gate. I looked back. Precisely, to the body of the road I just passed earlier with my friend. I saw another boy who was so happy. Talking to a middle-aged woman while smiling happily. He spoke to the woman. As for me, I immediately thought of my long-gone mother. Even my mind, immediately walked to remember him.
I have to face a sad heart. Wrestling thoughts about my mother. While standing at the gate looking at the child and the mother who was so, full of affection. Reminds me of going back to my childhood and getting overflowing with a mother's affection. Although, I don't remember it completely.
I turned my eyes to the left. Again I found something similar. Where, a child who holds hands with his mother while chatting sweetly.
While I., the.,,
I was silent as I looked at myself who was still standing still at the gate.
I miss mom. I said in my heart as I watched the mothers passing by at my school deliver their children.
I'm the one still standing. Remembering my mother's rapid departure. I never saw his face. Not to mention, for her face that I must remember. For his love, I did not get it.

Sudden meeting!
I'm the one stepping into the classroom, all of a sudden!
Hooray! Shouted the children of the class close to my class. Instantly, my eyes were a little shrinking because of my sadness. It is now wide open to hear the cries of children.
My curiosity also appeared in my heart. What's up, huh? However, unfortunately my feet were not so fast I stepped onto the scene. I'm still gawking at my place which makes me so comfortable.
"Let's runii fast!" The children who ran near me. While throwing their hats to the boys. While for the girls all on a leisurely walk while laughing happily.
"Liyan! Why are you here." Said my friend Maharani.
With a confused face. I just looked at it without answering the question.
I look like I look like a freak!I said in my heart while looking inside.
He too, kept looking at me fixedly. Just coming towards me, standing still like a fool.
"Hey, Liyan!" He said while hitting my shoulder.
"Th-it." I said nervously.
"Why are you still standing here?" Ask me.
"Emang why?"
"We're home."
"Ha, what?" I was immediately surprised.
"Come home?" Asking back.
"She, we have a sudden meeting, so all the students are asked to go home."
Going home? yey, I can play with satisfaction today ." While staring at the sky. The air I felt this morning. It still feels fresh.
Heem! It's good, not school and not learning." My heart, too, continued to dance happily.
Ah, home la. I said in my heart as I walked out the gate.
My heart is so happy to dance. Imagine the game I will play at home later, with my friends after arriving. I can't wait to get there. I said inwardly while carving out a smile on my little lips.
On the side of the road I went through which many overgrown with lush trees. Making a way too, it feels so cold. As if, I don't want to leave under a cool tree.
I walk alone. It lingered as if, I didn't want to leave so quickly under the tree.
It's yummy! Yep! Under this tree is cool and cool. I said in my heart while looking around the trees and the lush leaves.
My own journey to my home as soon as I enjoyed it.
