The Struggle of a Child
Lunches
Classroom lessons are over. School hours are also time to go home. All the students in the class were busy. Put their books and school supplies in a bag. Including me too! I am the one who has arranged everything without anyone forgetting a single thing.
The teacher sitting in the chair in front of the class saw us who were busy. He put our books in his bag, putting his pen and other supplies in his bag as well.
I who stood up while carrying my backpack immediately stepped my feet up from the bench out of class quickly. After arriving outside the classroom, my footsteps suddenly stopped because of the sound of someone calling me from behind me. I, too, stopped my small footsteps immediately twisting my body and turned my head back. See who stopped my steps.
"Liyan, we go home together, yeah!" He said to me standing up while he looked at me.
"Yes, but I'm waiting for my sister first."
"Did your sister go to school?"
"Here, he's at school with me here."
Me and him walked to my sister's classroom.Today the school hours come home to me and my sister the same because today is the new year's teaching for the newly entered children and the children who go up the level his class. So, today all the students at school return, equalized everything.
Me too, arrived at the door of my sister's class with my friend earlier.We both stood at the corner of the classroom door.
The teacher's voice from my sister's classroom was heard by me standing at the corner of my sister's classroom door. It was my body that led to the schoolyard while looking at the students who were walking out of the school gate.
The teacher's voice from my sister's classroom still sounded with gusto."Good kids it's time we go home each one carefully!"That's what I heard from outside my sister's class.
My sister, too, came out of her room so happy.Laughter painted on her innocent face.His little lips curved beautifully.The light of her clear eyes looks radiate a sparkling light. Looking at the air outside accompanied by a cool breeze. It was inside her small white body.
My cheerful laughter was immediately reflected painting on my tired face. Seeing my sister's smile.The exposure of the sun's sting that pierced my skin was getting felt into my body now disappeared. My little feet are impatient. Want to immediately go to our small rented house.The body that is tired and weak wants to invite me to rest for a moment. However, what the power of the trip of the three of us is still far away.Sometimes I am so envious to see the children who were picked up by their parents in a vehicle.In my small heart that is still innocent sometimes widened if my father picked up by vehicle. But that's not possible.We don't have a vehicle like my friends.
School passed this second also.We three, set foot home in tandem.Teroday in the middle of the trip we often find people speeding almost about us on the side of the road.
I was on a trip with my sister. So quick to look after him. Moreover, if you are on a highway that many vehicles pass with all the speed they want.
My sister is so active she can't keep quiet.She likes to turn her eyes to everything she sees. As long as we walked home from school he kept talking about what he had just seen.
Another with my friend Widia who walked hand in hand with me.She was so silent and did not have much to say. I saw him so agitated by the heat of the sun that stung his small body.His sight, kept bowing down to see his feet that stepped forward.I saw as if he was counting his footsteps.
I who was beside them walked for a while. Turn around and look straight ahead.
With a slightly empty look. I walked a little quickly, however, I couldn't do it because I had to look and look after my sister who was on my way to the house.
Not how long we walked without a load. Our little legs have reached each other's homes.So has my friend Widia. He has walked in the opposite direction to me. Because our house is not one lane. I walk straight. Meanwhile, he runs straight through a small alley that first can.
My brother and I continued to walk even though it was not far away. My sister who walked far ahead of me opened our door first. I followed my sister from behind. He saw her open the door and enter.
His powerful voice broke my daydream instantly."Brother,ayo in!"Waving her hand called out to me from a distance that was not too close.
I saw him. I also stepped my feet so quickly.Today I saw our house is not locked.My mind was like looking for who first arrived home.The school bags I used. I hung in the room along with my school uniform.Meanwhile, my sister who had entered first had not hung her bag and her school uniform was still attached to her body.
My mind was looking for who was at home before us. Still spinning with my little eyeballs that did not stop looking here and there.
I who came out of the room had put on the clothes of the house.Against my brother who sat in my father's chair while looking at his school equipment.
With my slow steps. "Sir, your school dress, why hasn't it opened yet?" I gently asked my sister who was looking at me. Then turn back."I still like wearing it, brother." He said looking at his school equipment. I just kept quiet and didn't welcome my sister's words anymore.
I turned my attention to the others.Seeing my sister who is no longer out of the house to play today my heart was a little happy.I also walked towards the kitchen to find out, who ? The first one before us reached home.On the kitchen table I saw there was a pack on the table.It seems, it is the contents, the groceries! The more I don't know, what do I want to find out?! Everything's empty! The shopping I saw as if I knew the answer. That my father had arrived home first, but I had not seen him clearly by my own eyes. So, I can't conclude that it was my father.
I kept looking around the kitchen, my father's room and our backyard. Even in the well where we bathe. I didn't hear a sound indicating that someone was there! My real eyes kept on going around in circles looking, who? the one carrying the bag that was on the table.
From kitchen. I heard my sister's hand move on the desk with her school equipment.
Seriate....
