The Struggle of a Child
Exam holiday
We have also received a report in each other's hands.
"Today we will have a long holiday" said Rasyd happily. "...and I can sleep for a long time" he said happily glancing at Fikri. It was as if he wanted to make Fikri jealous.
"I don't envy you" continued Fikri. "You wake up a long time, you want to wake up tomorrow morning, I don't care" he said plainly.
"Who wants to make you jealous?" rasyd said he immediately covered his disappointment because Fikri was not provoked.
I heard their fight was tickled. A little head I turned back glancing at those who were still noisily.
"That was," said Fikri. "You're intentionally 'going to make me jealous, '" she screeched a little slowly. So that I'm sad" she explained.
"Haha !" Rasyd laughs. "Hey, man, why do you have to cry? Hihihi!" he said it's getting ticklish. "...if you cry, you must be like a daughter." Pulling lips. "Damma!" His laughter is getting more amused.
"Kids! It's been a while like this one of us," Ms. Dona said with a crisp. Glancing at the circular watch. "It's time to go home!" exclaim Miss Dona. Put the stuff in the bag.
"Horeeeers! We've had a long holiday" the children shouted happily. Cheering - Cheering happy.
"Where were you on vacation, Nisa?" ask Widia. Looking at Nisa who was standing right in front of our table.
"I don't know" replied Nisa.
"So, where have you been all this time?" tanya wants to know more.
"I went with my father and mother to Mecca" he replied.
"Waaaah, good dong to Mecca," continued Widia widened mixed with admiration.
I who heard it was even more moved to see it. My reflexes are happy to feel it too.
"Look, if so, you're Nisa," Widia said directly to herself.
"Why ?" ask Nisa.
"Yes, you go" he answered softly.
Nisa who already understood Widia's answer . "So, you've never played ?" nisa asked increasingly wanting to know.
"I'm at home. My mother doesn't love me out playing" she replied. Glanced at me as if Widia wanted to have Nisa ask me if she didn't believe me.
I who met with Widia's eyes also felt sad. I immediately raised my head to look at Nisa.
Nisa who seemed to be in disbelief turned her eyes around looking at me.
"You're Liyan?" nisa asked to know. Is my fate the same as Widia's too?
"M." Mmm." I was immediately shocked. The tail of my eyes also glanced at the same Widia as him. I was quiet for quite a while too.
"Liyan, can't you get out of the house, too ?" nisa asked to know.
"Yes" I replied briefly.
The other kids have gone out. The class is now partially empty. The bench was also seen sitting quietly. Fikri and Rasyd who were fighting earlier also walked over to our table.
"Liyan, we go first" said Fikri who looked straight at the board, followed by Rasyd from behind.
I'm the one who was engrossed in the story with Nisa not responding too much. I just looked up at those who were walking.
"That means you've never had a vacation?" asked Nisa with a look of pity.
I nodded to take the report from the table. Go out wanting to go home.
"Liyan, who are you going home with ?" ask Widia.
"I went home alone" I replied.
"You dare go home by yourself ?" tanya Septiani insinuates me.
I stammered at the question and was also nervous to see her standing before me as if defiant.
"Dare," I answered briefly.
"Liyan, are you afraid to go home alone ?" asked Nisa who was suddenly surprised.
I turned around slowly after hearing his question. "No," I answered with weight .
"Where is possible" Tania continued.
"Yes, he's a coward" Ecy said.
"He always comes home looking for friends" Tania said next.
"No.no you're wrong" Widia sidelines slightly defended.
"Yes, he is a coward" Septiani continued.
"It's a big coward, too" said Ecy. Mock.
I am ashamed to hear their mischief. At first glance I felt cornered by those who did not like me.
"No, no, no, no" I said, rejecting him.
"Why Liyan?" ask Nisa.
"He's afraid you'll kidnap him" Tania said, grinning.
"Yes, he's afraid that you'll take him far away" Ecy continued .
"Liyan, you think I'm a kidnapper, hahaha !" nisa said laughing funny.
I was further besieged by Nisa's thousands of questions and Tania's and Ecy's concerns.
"Liyan has a sister" Widia said.
"Yes, he will definitely go home with his sister" Septiani said.
After hearing everything I no longer want to linger in the classroom. As quickly as possible I swung my legs and left those who were still standing.
"Liyan, why didn't you fight Septiani ?" widia asked suddenly from behind.
I set my steps a little slowly.
"But I was waiting for you" continued Widia. "If you had fought him, he would have been stifled" Widia said looking straight ahead.
I instantly fell silent as if it were true, I thought. I have to brave myself occasionally to fight Septiani.
"You're too good Liyan. Silence is on," said Widia annoyed.
"I'm afraid he'll complain to my father" I answered, opening my mouth.
"So far, why don't you take Nisa home ?" widia asked again.
I kept quiet for a moment and remembered my father.
"I'm afraid my father is angry again" I replied.
"Haha !" Widia laughed as if she felt strange hearing my answer. "Liyan, your father might be angry" he said. Sok knows.
I laughed a little and saw Widia who pretended to know about me.
I kept walking along a familiar path for myself and Widia.
"Widia, my father will be angry. Later I thought my father, I went to play again" I said languidly. Look at the torn end of the shoe.
"Your father is indeed fierce Liyan. I'm just afraid to see your father" Widia explained.
I was immediately stunned to hear what Widia said.
"Eatya said my father do not often - often play with you," he continued casually.
I was surprised to hear Widia's honest revelation.
"Honestly, Liyan, my father forbade me from getting close to you" he nodded.
That's how scary my father is to the point that people say that, I thought. I went back to walking in the middle of Widia's rant that kept on denouncing my father.
"My father was also rarely friends with your father. Especially in school, she said!" Widia glanced at me softly.
I'm getting quieter. The raport I was holding the stronger I was holding. I would love to have Widia keep her mouth shut but I can't because we are friends and Widia is also an irritable child.
I looked straight ahead. I want to swallow what I see.
"Liyan, I'm sorry, yeah. If I offend you," he said softly. "But it's true" he continued. "Everything, your sister rarely plays into our house anymore. Because my father forbade it" he explained.
This honesty is so bitter for me. I am now more embarrassed to look at myself in front of the mirror, especially in front of my friends.
"Widia, my father is not fierce, really," I said defending my father.
"Where is it possible" Widia said denying it.
"Maybe, really. As for us he is good" I said with great emphasis.
"Liyan, it's just you" he explained.
"The same people my father is not evil, too" my timpalku increasingly annoyed to see Widia who insistent on denouncing my father.
"Yes, everyone else is good. But you're not Liyan?" widia said throwing questions at me. It was as if he was stuck with his words.
I'm getting pinched hearing it. Widia's words partially justify. But it's not absolute.
