The Struggle of a Child

The Struggle of a Child
Receiving report


After everything happened in the house. Now it's time for my brother and I to accept our learning after a year of attending the school we are in.


"Liyan, after school, will go straight home !" ask my father with all the pleas. The high hopes that I won't be late like last night.


"I-yes Dad," replied a little hesitant and nervous. I glanced at my father with doubt hanging over him. My father looked at me with question marks mixed with doubt as well. He seemed worried that I would keep the promise.


"Overnight, I didn't scold you because I wanted to pray" he explained with a flat face.


I tied the shoelaces to the left and glanced at my father back who said that in a flat tone.


"Dad, I'm sorry, I'm" I said looking at my father with a sad face mixed with regret.


"Mom's not sure if you keep your promise" she continued. Gifted dirty dishes.


I immediately glanced at him who suddenly came and cut off our conversation, followed by these two eyes saw his steps that walked carrying the dirty plate.


"Your mother is right, Liyan, you definitely won't remember what you said!" my father's toilet gave me pocket money.


"In addition, this is the day you receive a report," continued my mother and I walked back to the living room to raise a glass.


I was, I was afraid that it was true. I forgot the same thing I said.


"Don't confuse your father, son, for you" he said, taking the shoes he often wore for a living. "...Confused where to look for you?" he said he repeated it again as if he knew his anxiety when he did not see me, followed by his hands taking a hat hanging right near the door of his room.


Heard what my father said. I think my dad is really worried about me. She was very panicked and hysterical when she didn't see me at home after she came home.


"Liyan, after all your father used to say that you weren't home. He was very worried about... ." My contact mother then quietly saw my father who deliberately cut the conversation.


"For Dad you're Dad's tired treat, son!" my dad cut off my mom's conversation.


"Yes, Dad," I answered kissing the back of his hand. Walking out of the house where I gathered with my parents and sister.


"Sister Liyan! Wait for me!" andrini's screams call.


The feet stop and turn the body back. "Andrini...!" I said slowly. I looked at him and held my pocket.


"Son't go alone?" tanyakanya. Approaching me. "...si Ana where, Brother? Usually you always go both ways" Andrini said, throwing up a question that confused me how to answer.


"...even after school I didn't see him coming home with Brother" he said, hugging his heavy drinking bottle.


"Your drinking bottle's heavy, huh?" aska I want to know. Switching topics of conversation.


"Yes, Brother. My mother was too full to fill it," she said looking at the bottle she was holding.


"Your drinking bottle is big too" I said.


"Said my mother, I have to drink a lot. Moreover, it is hot, he said," Andrini said, looking at my face and hands. "But you didn't bring a drink today?" his question raised a full glance at me.


"Yes" I replied briefly.


"Why Brother?" the question is getting more enthusiastic.


"Because hurry home," I replied instantly briefly.


"Hehehe !" Smirks. "really. We'll go home soon. This will receive a report" he said with a face as if he just remembered.


We both kept walking. Along the way me and Andrini occasionally took turns carrying the drinking bottle.


"Drinking is too heavy" I explained. Like a person who runs around exhausted when holding it. "Why not use a small bottle?" I glanced at him, followed by my feet that kept going.


"I don't have a small one, Brother," he replied in a flat tone of voice.


"Mmmm!" I sneered lightly after hearing Andrini's reasoning.


We also entered the school fence. Andrini and I split up in the middle of the school yard.


"Sister, thank you, yes. I want to stretch it," he said deflecting steps.


"Yes," I smiled sweetly in return.


"Liyan, who are you going with?" widia asked suddenly along with me.


I was shocked to turn my head to the side. "Widia, I think I don't know who," I said neutralizing my jerked self. "...that's Andrini" I said.


He and I kept walking. "Child, near the house" I replied directly.


We walked to class without a bag.


"I don't know him" Widia explained.


"House near your house, really. I think where you want to know him. You're rarely out of the house" I said.


"Yes, that's why I may not be familiar," he continued regretting his own question.


Many children have arrived. They lined up neatly on the school wall. Some laugh while throwing - a torn paper throw, some squat while daydreaming, some sweep and shiny glass.


I who had entered the classroom saw my friends including Nisa sweeping and cleaning her desk drawer.


"Liyan, why did you come together ?" nisa asked a little astonished.


"What's the matter ?" ask Widia.


I put the bag behind Nisa hearing her astonishment seeing me and Widia.


"So we met on the street," I said turning right at her, followed by two eyes glancing at Widia who was a little nervous.


"That's it, Widia won't answer" Nisa's upset.


I still glanced at Widia who was a little embarrassed by Nisa's question.


"Kids! All in?" ask Miss Dona.


"It's been, ma'am," we replied.


"Who is absent? Any?" tanyanya glanced at one by one her students.


I reflexively followed with Ms. Dona staring at all her students.


"It seems that everyone is present, ma'am," replied Fikri who is still the class president.


"Pudan, is he present?" ma'am Dona asked as if she knew Pudan was sick.


"Present, ma'am," replied Fikri. Followed by Pudan. "I'm present, ma'am," he said from behind.


"M." Mmm." Ms. Dona nodded while looking back as if she was still thinking about something. "...and Liyan, are you present ?" tanyanya wants to know. Looking towards our table.


"Present, ma'am," replied Fikri and the others.


I also nodded respectfully beckoning if I was present. I who was a little afraid mixed with embarrassment glanced at all my friends. Especially Tania and Ecy is no exception as well as Septiani.


I was so shocked and shocked to see their faces so sour after hearing Dona's mom say my name.


The three of them did not like to hear it. Including Tania and Ecy they both hated hearing that name. It was as if he remembered the incident back home from school.


"Liyan, you're getting a slightly decreased score" Ms. Dona said in a disappointed tone of voice.


I was also surprised to turn wide.


"...and today you don't get any rankings" said Ms. Dona, who broke my heart.


All the students looked at me as if they could not believe me. I who saw those eyes felt ashamed and looked down.


"Today the first champion is held by Fikri," said Bu Dona with pleasure.


Miss Dona held back her sadness at looking at me. "Usually the one holding this is Liyan," he said with a heavy sigh mixed in disappointment. "But this is Liyan down to rank three" he explained.


I was also very sad and devastated to hear my grades and rank down.
