The Struggle of a Child
Day Two of My School
The morning that made me feel disturbed by the cold dew of the morning blind. I pulled the blanket to cover my cold body. Suddenly, someone pulled my blanket away and did not cover my cold body anymore. I opened my eyes slowly.
"Son, get up school said my father." My little sister who is so grown up today woke up early and woke her brother up for school.
"Yes, in a minute."I answered while pulling back my blanket.
"Sir, what time is it? I'll be angry." He kept pulling my blanket and tickling my feet.
Finally, I want to get up and get out of bed. While taking my towel and going to the bath to the well. Like, my dad used to have our bath water.
"Sister, the bed hasn't been neatened yet."
I'm getting ready to go to school. Now I have to move on to my room and make my bed. My sister who was waiting for me in front of the door impatiently, shouted I should hurry.
"Snake, hurry. It's late."
"Yes, a minute." As I rushed out of the room and picked up the school bag hanging near the door.
"Sister, I'm ready to go to work."
I who was stirred up immediately came to my father who was waiting at the door along with my sister.
"Yes, Dad."
"Why did you take so long today Liyan? What time is it?" My father said as he glanced at the wall clock from the front of the door.
I, too, silently heard my father's words.
"This is your pocket money, son!" My father took the money out of his pocket.
"Yes, Dad." I took the money from my father and put it in my pocket as I reached my father's hand and went to school.
"Assalamualaikum, Dad."
"Wa'alaikumussalam, please be careful, on the road if there are people who are familiar invite do not want."
"Yes, Dad." I started running around walking into my school with my bag and my uniform red and white.
I kept walking and walking while looking to the right and to the left. Nothing I have met is in my heart. I, too, continued to pedal my feet to get to my school quickly. The dew that kept flying greeted my tiny body made me a little cold. Lulu's running a vehicle that's making my ears hurt. I continue to walk while walking down the road.
"Today, I set out alone, alone." I said in my heart.
My friend Widia I haven't seen me all the way. Maybe he's gone. His father had the most motorcycle rickshaw delivered by his father. But my other friends I have not seen. With a sad face.

School gate!!!
I did not feel my feet had reached the school gate.AGain my heart was sad for a moment.
They, on the second day, are still being delivered by their parents. While I was just going alone.
While walking I steeled myself.On the right left I saw the children on laughing cheerfully with his mother. I who do not have a mother also become inferior. Both balls of my eyes kept pointing straight ahead of our class. Our classroom was already visible from the school gate. It was so clear because of the distance not so far away.
Liyan!
From behind I heard someone calling me.
"Yes."I also turned my head back.
"Wid." I said in a slightly weak tone.
"Who were you going with?"
"I'm alone." While I put the bag into the drawer of the study table.
"Why? we can't see you, yeah."
"I left just now Liyan was quite quick! I'm afraid to miss."
Teng teng!!!
The bell rang indicating that the morning apple was starting soon. Me, my friends, ran to take the line. Likewise with other students.We were ready to line up neatly in front of each class.
"Kids, arrange the rows neatly!" My teacher told us.
"Good Mom."Answer us simultaneously.
The line was started by the class leader . The first day of school has been established by our teachers. The line was arranged by the smallest and shortest student in the front row, not least I took the front row.
Children - children. After being prepared and arranged neatly by the chairman then we enter the class in an orderly manner.
Forward way!!!
The words of our class leader began.
"Start from the right!"
Our teacher disbanded the line neatly and orderly.
My friend and I started walking into class.
The lesson begins!!!
After we sat down on each bench. The lessons were started by our teachers.
"Open up, kid! Lessons in Indonesian."Our teacher also showed us his Indonesian textbooks.
"We learned to read today!"
Our teachers started teaching us one by one. To get ahead of the class and read on his desk. While carrying our seats.
Not felt after a long time we learned to read the bell rang.
Teng teng!!!
"Kids - children. Get here first yes, our reading practice. Tomorrow we call again now it's time for a break.
"Please, play the kids, come out in an orderly manner, yeah."
"Okay, Miss teacher, horeee!"Shouted all the children in the class cheerfully.
"Liyan, aren't you a prankster?" Said my friend Widia.
"No."
"You yourself, why not snack?" I went back to my friend Widia.
But, honey, he didn't answer my question. He just kept quiet and smiled to see me. I who knew nothing was silent. He just smiled and did not answer.
It's strange! I said in my heart while glancing at him.
Why, is he silent and smiling? Yeah, there's something funny about me. I looked into my body, something strange, "nothing" I said, shaking my head.
I also rest all the time still sitting on my bench. My eyes were on my friends coming in and out of our classroom doors.
"Liyan, you're not going out?" Ask my other friend named Nurul.
"No."
"Why? Let's get Liyan out! With us play."
"I'm lazy."
He went out to play with my other friends. I was sitting on the bench. Keep opening my Indonesian textbooks. I sat alone and studied it. With so much enthusiasm. I open the sheet per sheet of Indonesian practice. I happily studied alone while testing my mentality.
