The Struggle of a Child

The Struggle of a Child
First Day of My Sister School


Even the night had passed quietly.The part that was so excited welcomed everyone with laughter and joy. Some work for a living. There are those who exercise to maintain their health stamina and there are also, who go to school to study, like myself.


On this sunny morning I got a new responsibility. Take care of my sister who just entered school today. I got out of my bed so spoiled myself all night. Welcoming the morning with my neat school clothes along with the new spirit that I have forged in this morning filled with enthusiasm.


From the front of the mirror I saw my brother who was so enthusiastic about going to school. He was so excited to wear his school uniform as if nothing could stop him this morning.His laughter, so loosely illuminated my father's face that helped him put on his school uniform and also arrange all his needs.


He said to my father sometimes."Daddy's! Today's Dad, didn't he take me to my new school?" Playing with her hair.


"Yes, did you say. Should I drive." My dad was so happy to see my sister at school.


"Hurray!" Shouted my sister in excitement while raising both of her hands into the air."Today I must be happy."With a radiant face.


After I combed my hair neatly. I took a plate to the kitchen for breakfast.The backpack I used to wear was located beside me with my black shoes at the door.


I sit cross-legged and enjoy my breakfast. Seeing my sister who was so impatient wanted to get to school first.


"Come on, our father is leaving now!" His little body immediately ran to pick up the bag and pulled my father's hand.


Meanwhile, I still continued my breakfast by chewing slowly. I drank the tea beside me until it ran out.


From my seat I heard my mother talking to my father so slowly. Well, what they're talking about I don't know.


My sister who wants to go to school is getting impatient. He was so enthusiastic that he forced my father to take him to school as soon as possible.


"Dad,ayo hurry ! It will be late." She said impatiently, She kept standing at the door holding her small backpack.


"Dear, wait a minute!" My father answered from inside the room.


My breakfast, too, was over it was time I had to wallow with my school. I got up and immediately rushed off to the school to the exit. My father came out of the room in neat clothes to work. Meanwhile, our mother continued we still haven't been seen by me.


I slowly put the dirty dishes in place. In that dirty dish place last night so, so much! No more looking.Yes, as usual! My father has washed everything clean with nothing left behind. Breakfast is also well available.


From the kitchen I stared at the wall clock. While slowly walking. I saw it near the window. The clock, too, indicates that in a few minutes the school bell will ring.


As usual, before leaving school I did not forget to greet my father and my aunt who this morning she did not see. I turned my body around here and there. I opened my eyes wide to find him as soon as possible.


However, I have not seen him.I who stood near my father tried to ask.


"Your mother was in the room! Have a look!" My father I saw was rushing to leave." Liyan come on ! we go to school." My father stopped for a moment and looked at me.


"No Dad, I'll go alone." I stand still. Staring at my father while waiting for my mother to come out of the room.


I've been waiting for him to come out of the room for so long. Back inside the house without taking off the shoes I was wearing. While looking at my father and sister who had disappeared.


In front of the bedroom door, I stepped foot.


"What's the matter Liyan?" He walked out of the room in neat clothes. Looking at me in full search."You didn't go to school?" Looking at me with question marks.


"Go! I was going to touch Mom but I didn't see Mom." I'm still standing looking at my mother with me.


"Oh, she!" My mother reached out her hand to me with a warm smile."Now who are you going to be?" He who was still standing put another full glance at me.


"Himself !" My answer is still standing quietly in front of him. Seeing him still standing also looked at me. Spontaneously I lowered my head looking down turning my body stepping out of the room. From the window of the room that I saw so brightly. The sunlight had already started to fall emitting its light right at my little face.


"Wait on! "I spontaneously stopped my steps, and asked in my heart what, as if, I wanted to know what he was going to say to me." Mari! We'll just go together."He locked the room and went out.


We both walked without talking down the morning full of people walking down the road - people who crossed the morning. Some use vehicles, some are on foot, especially me and my mother. We were both on foot. I'm heading to my school for a while, she's headed to work. The morning that was so hot hit my body white and tiny. With my innocent face exposed to the sun so, it felt through the skin of my face.


Late on our journey, we separated at the crossroads. My mother was walking to the left side temporarily, I walked straight ahead to the gate of my school.My trip to school was not too long.However, draining energy because of the morning heat that was so felt through my skin.


Along the way I occasionally look to the right and left.In fact, it is not uncommon for me to look at the body of the road just to see children who wear uniforms like myself.


This clock is still visible on the road!


Both my eyes were opened wide by holding my head to look in front of the school gate that had been seen. Although, it's just a little vague.


The children who run near the gate have been more clearly seen by me.There are still walking.Meanwhile, my sister who had left school was first ushered by my father.She may have arrived in the classroom. I kept thinking on the way so I wouldn't feel the name tired. Thinking is my surefire way to avoid fatigue.That became a friend to me so that I did not feel so long in walking. As smart as I am to fill the time fatigue will definitely feel to me.Makanya, I remember something on the way. To fill my emptiness in the toe.


The school gate was seen in front of me. Instantly, my feet stepped into the schoolyard. The children who ran in front of me were so cheerful with a loud laugh. Some cheered happily, some played chases with laughter. Some walk to embrace each other. There is also, which was delivered by his parents. All so complete filled the school yard. Someone is sitting under a tree. Someone walked with a garbage basket. Quoting the trash that is located in the yard. There were children holding brooms to sweep the classroom and sweep the courtyard.


So many morning activities that are not missed at school.
