The Struggle of a Child
Hoopla on the road

"Well, what's wrong" I said, looking at Solihin.

"Your clothes will be dirty, Liyan," said Solihin reprimanding me who was acting like a child. He was so happy to see me as if he was in this game. Her leg t-shirt that had been wet from the splash of mud she paid no heed to it at all. " Liyan, do you like to play mud?" the question is getting closer to me. Seeing my shrewd feet dancing in the mud.

"I like to play in the rain" I replied seeing Solihin walking over wanting to play as well. While Fikri, Rasyd and Widia gawked at me acting like a child. I was amazed to see my feet filled with earth. They also occasionally snorted bitterly while Widia shook her head looking at him. However, Rasyd, whose hobby also likes to play, ran and shouted. "We play first, yuk! Ahaha!" Laughing raised his feet high chasing us both that is, me and Solihin. The hilarious behavior that is almost similar to Solihin is increasingly difficult to prevent. If the two of them have united, let alone play which if the game is equally liked by them then they will both be more difficult to prevent. This is what makes Fikri and Widia more restrained. They could say nothing more, let alone shout preventing his best friend from playing. Even I'm even more happy because I'm going to play longer and they're not going to be able to ban me. I'm getting knotted sweet my wits are getting to work with ignorant to survive and keep playing. Fikri who can't see me grieving, let alone crying is increasingly becoming a powerful weapon for me to stick with my will. I continued to play with a cheerful shout with Rasyd and Solihin. Today I am so happy because I am free to play even though I don't know what will happen after I get home. For a moment I forgot that and played until I was satisfied and made a small statue from the ground.

Sumringah laughter also accompanied me who made my own statue. Suddenly the ignorant Solihin came to damage the half-prepared statue a bit. I was shocked and saddened that the slightly finished statue had been partially destroyed. "Solihiinn!" my screams are tight. "...you have ruined it" I said softly pointing to the shattered statue. Looking up with my body still crouching on the half-dry ground saw Solihin who was in shock hearing my screams all of a sudden.

Fikri's voice sounded. "Solihin what are you doing?" asked Fikri running in panic. Seeing me. "Haha !" He laughed when he saw it.

I was shocked to hear a voice laughing at me with pleasure. I was so upset and hated it so much . The voice was so content to laugh at me as he pleased. The voice that sounded suddenly seemed to tear hearts apart. I was very sad and pouted because Fikri and Solihin were acting similarly laughing today.

"You're both evil," I shouted in an adorable annoyance.

"Haha ! Hey, Liyan, you don't get angry!" ledek Solihin teased me to stop pouting.

"Fikri, why are you laughing, Liyan?" widia asked softly heard by me, followed by my eyes glancing at the end of the shoe that suddenly stood up.

I then turned my eyes away from her seeing Fikri directly. He then mingled with guilt. Close his lips tightly. Pretend to be looking for something missing. Holding the bag strap with his left hand and his right hand holding his hat above his head set it neatly.

Then he threw a mixed look of embarrassment for having reflexively laughed at me. The look that looked down continued to steady the muddy road with socks that were still dirty. Slowly he approached a tree, I who was still following his footsteps widened the eyeballs mixed with annoyance.

Then glanced at Widia who shook her head and rubbed her sock that was hit by mud violently. Walking away from me followed Fikri who stopped. Widia is getting pias set in her steps.

I who crouched occasionally saw Fikri and Widia who stood far away. Fikri who was standing and was upset. Now clean his slovenly socks due to mud. He opened his shoes and took off his socks. Then he rubbed it with wet leaves. He took the water on the wet leaf. Then he doused it in his dirty socks. He seems to have done that repeatedly. While Widia is looking for a place she can sit. He walked around looking around and finally he found something that made his heart relieved. He was very happy when he found a stone that was not too wet and sat down while stretching his tired muscles.

I was still looking at him fixedly, followed by him who was also looking at me. She was indeed a little patient towards me, even though our current friendship was no longer what it used to be. However, he never stayed away from me even once, the attitude he gave was extremely cold towards me.

The lips I pulled with a smile lowered their heads after a while and re-formed the ground into something I wanted. Rasyd and Solihin shouted to play football by kicking a puddle.

"Rasyd the water is like a ball" Solihin joked. Kicking the water getting stronger about my face.

"Augh!" I'm appalled.

"Solihin, Liyan got hit," said Rasyd in surprise.

Rasyd was surprised and looked at me and saw the water swinging about from the tail of my eyes. "Solihin, slowly," Rasyd approached Solihin. "Be careful, Liyan will be hit" said Rasyd. Get close and watch the water splash.

"Liyan, does it hurt?" tanya worry. Dropping his body saw me wiping the water.

I just shook my head to answer it. "Solihin, play it carefully !" rasyd reminded me again. Turning his head looked at Solihin with a position that was still crouching.

"Yes I'm excited to play, sorry Liyan. I didn't mean it" he answered in my ear from a distance in a tone of guilt.

I stopped playing. Stand up to clean the ones affected by mud splashes. I reflexively remembered about Fikri cleaning her socks with the water on the leaves. I looked around to find a tree with low leaves so I could get some water. Little by little the water on the wet leaves I took to clean it. I followed what Fikri did.

"Liyan, we go home first, yeah!" widia said as if saying goodbye. Waking up from his seat with the bag that had been located on the root of a large tree.

I was aghast to hear it and turned the eyeball wide towards Widia. Looking at Widia who had gotten up from her seat and cleaned her skirt. I was in a hurry to wash my face. I hurried to chase Widia. "Widia wait! my screams loudly ran through the stagnant water.

"Liyan, the hunt," cried Fikri who followed Widia. Has improved.

"Hey, Fikri you want to go home?" rasyd asked from behind screaming and stopped his steps immediately and followed my steps and Widia stopped. I was the one who was swinging my left leg forward while swinging to a halt in mid-air. "Rasyd," I muttered softly which Widia heard. I slowly turned my body and placed my left foot on the half-wet ground.

"Rasyd, the day is going to rain again" said Fikri reply to Rasyd's screams. It was followed by me and Widia who were staring at Rasyd as well.

"Yes Rasyd" Widia said. "At some point I'm starving" Widia said loudly looking at him.

I was still standing on the half-wet ground listening to them. Rasyd who refused to go home was supported by Solihin. "Fikri if it rains, it'll get more exciting, won't it?" solihin said with a loud tone of voice. Turning his head towards Rasyd asked raising his eyebrows. Nodding.

"Yes, but I'm tired. We're going to have an exam tomorrow. I want to learn" said Fikri.

"Oh! Liyan was not busy studying" Solihin said.

"Liyan is smart," replied Fikri. Waving one hand into the air as a gesture of saying goodbye.

I saw those who disagreed today growing dumb. Fikri has a point too. Tomorrow we will take the exam so we have to study. I follow the opinion of Fikri and Widia who are already starving. I hurriedly cleaned my face with my uniform sleeves.

I then walked back to follow the two of them and left Rasyd and Solihin behind. They are not happy because Fikri wants to go home too soon. With fear they must follow. I who walked far in front of them turned my head to the side and glanced at those who were upset walking behind me by throwing a wry look.

Although they were upset but they both still remained cheerful as if they did not take it seriously at all. Rasyd, Solihin and my friends, especially I have never taken disputes or feuds seriously. I am neutral in being more calm if, I forget everything that happened just like that

like, a grown-up child.

Sometimes I'm funny and laugh at myself looking at myself. Especially when I look at my weird self in front of the mirror. I was so smiling that I saw this clever self mixed with stupid as well. Not infrequently when I look in the mirror, I laugh amusedly full in my heart staring at this self. I who often change my taste, the more I take me in the daydreams of a princess in a fairy tale wrapped in problems and then happy. Laughter as if to decorate themselves with sumringah.

"Fikri, you and Liyan are both smart" Solihin said loudly. Walk behind us.

I followed his loud voice turning towards the two of them who were still walking along with their respective behavior. Rasyd who was toting his shoes was followed by Solihin who took out his clothes and tore his shoes as well.

"...but, they have to learn as well" Widia said. Defending Fikri.

" If we don't have to learn. We are smart, really," said Solihin as he wished.

"Tomorrow you just cried, " I said because I was sorry to hear Solihin's words. "...finding a cheat spot," I continued on my way.

Widia stopped looking at me. "You're right, Liyan. Surely they're surprised tomorrow to see it's all hard, ptfff!" he said withholding laughter seeing Solihin's face turned instantly a little scared.

"But Liyan, you know nothing about the exam, later ?" rasyd asked curiously as if he was reminding me that I had not been to school for so long.

Gluey!

I immediately gulped when I heard Rasyd's voice. The voice stopped my steps slowly. The voice seemed to be a fear that engulfed the soul. The wide eyeballs are getting smaller looking at the watery road. The shoulder holding the bag is getting weaker. A few memories that had forgotten him were re-exposed. The disease that wants to kill it again reminds me to always be vigilant.

The steps stopped slowly as if counting how long I had not been in school. This step also seemed to count back how much I also went back and forth to the hospital. These memories further uproot the taste. It was as if someone wanted to hit me from an unexpected direction.

Widia's hand that was waiting for me forced her to come to him immediately. "Liyan, hurry! The day is overcast," he said urging me to run immediately.

"Widia, I don't think it's going to rain" I said, looking up at the cloud with an anxious heart. Soaking at will saw the end of the foot that continues to climb the road.

Widia followed me looking up at the clouds. "I think it must be raining, Liyan," he said worriedly seeing the clouds over and over again.

"The rain must have been down a long time ago," I said to seduce Widia to have her trust me while carrying the shoes. Walking looking at my feet and looking at Fikri was also the first one in front.

"Fikri, you want to leave us, okay?" rasyd asked, screaming from behind.

I turned my head around wanting to know them. "Rasyd, why are you asking that?" I'm getting more and more curious as to why. Rasyd and Solihin.

Rasyd looked at Solihin sharply. A sharp and mixed look of guilt also met each other's eyes. "I'm just curious" Rasyd replied casually. Clean the bag he was holding well.

Rasyd was getting tired from his face. He was increasingly claustrophobic at walking because repeatedly fix the bag he was holding. While Solihin who understood Rasyd's gaze was silent, took a breath and? rubbed his face violently.

"Liyan, Rasyd is not mocking you" Solihin said. " Yes, right?" he looked at Rasyd's face. Nodding.

The mat! The mat! The mat!

The rain drops again washed the earth. We who have not yet arrived immediately panicked and worried to see it. The rain that was falling was getting heavier and making the five of us confused.

Fikri who earlier walked first himself in front. Run around back to me and Widia. "The rain is getting heavier" he said, trying to protect his face from the rain with his hands.

"Yes Fikri" Widia replied with a voice mixed with rainwater.

"I'm afraid that Liyan is sick again" Fikri said in a panic. Seeing the increasingly heavy.

Rasyd and Solihin came to us. "We're just looking for shelter" asked Rasyd. Covering his head with his bag. The shoes he was carrying were no longer visible in his grasp.

"Where are your shoes?" manya curious.

Put the bag over your head and rotate the eyeballs sharply.

"To her, in the bag, he kept it" replied Rasyd cutting off our conversation laughing.

"In the bag?" ask Widia astonished. Pulling my arm strong to shade.

"Where are we going?" I was surprised when Widia's hand pulled strongly.

"There Liyan is !" he said he pointed to a terrace. "Come, we'll just go there!" take Widia to my arm.

The empty house terrace. I kept my eyes fixed on him. The terrace of this house is so creepy. My hair is getting goosebumps. The terrace that has been reok was very seedy and looks uninhabited. I looked at him more sharply.

The eyes keep turning to see it. Every corner and every wall I never stopped to stare at him. The timid me was getting scared to look at her and shifted tightly to Widia.

"Widia, is there a ghost?" manya panic.

"No Liyan," Widia replied in a soft tone of voice mixed with the rain.

"Why?" solihin asked curiously. Followed by Rasyd and Fikri.

"Said Liyan, this house has ghosts," Widia replied flatly with a face holding back an amused laugh when she saw the hysterical me.

"Ptfff, Liyan it's noon," said Fikri holding back laughter at the sight of rain.

"Where there are ghosts," continued Rasyd as if funny to hear it.

The rain is getting heavier too. I was also increasingly frantically wrestling with the two I feared - my father and the ghost. The shoes I hold the tighter I hold. Feet that do not wear a pedestal are getting colder due to rain and wind. The tiny body that was never again exposed to rain and cold air felt extremely shivering.

I kept staring and moaning in my heart because the rain never stopped. My father, I remember it right away. His face was fierce when scolding me.

The wind that blows gets colder. Widia and I walked back to the front to see the rain is still heavy or not. I who had been stunned to remember my father may soon forget him. Sparks of rain the sound of heavy rain hit me in the face instantly.

The sound of footsteps came closer and stopped approaching. The voice that sounded to the ears suddenly surprised me who was washed away in a daydream . My father's face seemed to be dancing with the rain falling. The next walking step was heard approaching me with Widia, followed also by Fikri's voice from behind in a slow whisper. "Until when will this rain stop, huh?" tanyanya saw the rain that never stopped.

"I'm afraid that we'll get here this afternoon" Widia said worriedly. Stand beside me.

"The rain is getting heavier and the time stops" I said seeing him fixated.

"What if the rain stops long ?" ask Solihin.

"We'll be able to play rain" replied Rasyd cutting off the conversation. Swinging his hand just under the rain.

"Liyan, fearing that she's sick again" said Fikri.

"Yes, surely Liyan will not be able to take the exam," said Widia who is actually worried about herself also because the rain has not subsided.

Widia is just like me who is afraid to be angry if she is late to come home. She was very worried about her situation when she got home. "I will definitely be angered," he said softly staring at the raining down with a restless face mixed in panic.

I held my shoulders together with my hands, looking at him who said that.

Now his face looks pseudo, followed by the laughter of Solihin and Rasyd who splashed water at us.

"Solihin," I cried.
