Village Girl
SEASON 2 (PART 5)

Such beautiful sunshine in the morning, Ms. Rahma opened the window curtain in Alea's room. He also opened a window in Alea's room so that fresh air in the morning filled the room. Ms. Rahma slept in Alea's room all night, she was accompanying her daughter because last night's nightmares made Alea afraid to sleep alone.

Actually, Ms. Rahma had been awake since dawn, prayed dawn and prepared breakfast for the children. Alea was also actually used to waking up at dawn, because last night's nightmares made Alea unable to sleep and it was almost dawn that she had just fallen asleep again.

Alea opened her eyes slowly as glare was exposed to the morning sun. He saw a figure standing in front of the window of his room. From her posture Alea already knew that the figure was her mother.

"For mom!!" Alea said good morning to her mother in a typical wake-up voice as she pulled her blanket back over her glare face. Alea closed her eyes again.

Hearing someone giving him a greeting, Ms. Rahma immediately turned to the source of the voice. He saw his beloved daughter pulling her blanket to cover her face.

"Bad girl" said Ms Rahma with a smile looking at her son's silly behavior. Madam Rahma walked over to Alea's bed.

"It's 07:00 baby, don't you go to. "not finished the question from Ms. Rahma Alea just sat down from her sleep.

"Astagfirullahal. Mom, 08:00 I have school hours" Alea said as she got out of bed and went to the bathroom.

Because he was afraid of being late, he did everything in a hurry. In the short time he had reached his campus, he immediately ran towards the classroom. Just at that time, getting into the class, the lecturer also goes into the class.

"For the children"

"Morning Buu" replied the children in unison

"How are you today??"

"Good Buu" replied the children in unison

"Alright, we start today's lesson!!"

The lesson began, as the study hours of Alea's two friends were very busy. The two of them were curious about Alea coming late because it was not usual for Alea to arrive late. Alea was a diligent and disciplined boy how could he possibly be late to come to campus. There must be something that made Alea late, that was what the two friends were thinking.

Alea who ignored his two friends, he only focused on what the lecturer explained. Both of her friends were annoyed at not being cared for by Alea. Not stopping there, the two friends continued to disturb Alea who was focusing on listening to the Lecturer explain. Alea remained unconcerned about them, Alea noted all the key points explained by the lecturer.

After the course was completed, the lecturer came out of the study room. Alea who was still focused on the pen and his book suddenly Ros snatched the pen from Alea. It made Alea quite surprised, Alea glanced at who took the pen from her hand.

"Rose. What the hell are you doing?? give me my pen back??"

"No way!!" answer Ros ketus

"Acollins.... Never mind, I have no interest in arguing with you guys. If you want to find trouble, don't look for trouble with me. I want to focus on learning, I don't want to waste my college time just because things are useless" Alea said. Alea recaptured his pen and left his two best friends.

Alea's two best friends gawked at Alea's words, they just kept quiet and stared at Alea's departure.

"E e A Alea, wait!!" Sinta called Alea who had left the class first, finally Ros also followed Sinta.

Actually Alea already knew what they wanted to ask Alea. It's just that Alea is lazy to talk about her nightmares with her two best friends. Alea didn't want her best friend to laugh at her. Alea kept walking her feet out of the campus, she sat at the bus stop waiting for the bus to come. Followed by his two friends who also sat at the stop with Alea. The two friends no longer dared to ask Alea anything. Looking at Alea's serious-looking face it seemed like Alea really didn't want to be bothered today. The two friends just kept quiet and waited for the bus to come.

After a few minutes of waiting for one of the buses to finally arrive, Alea prepared to board the bus. But the two friends did not come because of the different bus majors. Alea still ignored the two friends, Alea walked inside the bus.

"hm.. "

"Is Alea okay??" ask sinta

"That's it" Ros replied with concern as Ros focused on seeing Alea riding the bus

"I feel like there's something weird about Alea"

"Hm.." again Ros's answer is not connected

"Is Alea any trouble in the parlour??" ask sinta again

"Hm." Ros's answer made Sinta a little upset but Sinta remained silent

"doesn't-don't.....he met the person who almost hit him yesterday huh??" Again, sinta asked

"That's it" Ros replied, this time Ros's answer really pissed Sinta off.

"aiiihh, you're this. From now on I talk a lot you just answer I don't know, I don't know, hm hm hm hm, make it upset" Sinta annoyed

coincidentally the bus they were waiting for had arrived, Sinta immediately walked her feet into the bus. Ros who was still watching the bus Alea was riding on suddenly realized that he was talking to Sinta. Seeing Sinta step into the bus, Ros immediately followed behind him.

"Eeeee Sinta!! Wait for me!!" scream Ros

Sinta just kept quiet he did not care about Ros who tailed behind him.

"Love don't be angry. I'm sorry, I don't know what happened to Alea either. I was seriously thinking about Alea's change in attitude so I didn't realize you were talking to you" Ros explained and apologized to Sinta.

"Here you go, don't talk about Alea. Not all of his problems should be told to us. You also have to understand him, leave him alone first!!" say Sinta firmly.

"hm.. You're right too. It looks like we are guilty" Ros said

"Yes, tomorrow we apologize to Alea" said Sinta

"no, no. We wait until the state of his heart improves, then we talk to him" said Ros

"Naah, that's my best friend Ros" Sinta continued.

******

At work, Alea worked as usual. Alea was able to go to college because she worked as a cashier at a reatorant. At first his salary was standard, as Alea was a diligent and honest person, plus Alea was working and while studying it made the restaurant owner very sure that Alea was an enterprising and kind child. That's why restaurant owners raise their salaries. Every time he received a salary, Alea always set aside money to save.he also gave Ms. Rahma a little money for additional shopping. Alea also liked to share with her younger siblings in the orphanage. It was just that for now Alea had not been able to give much to them. But Alea was sure that someday he would give so much money and happiness to all of them.

There are three cashier employees who alternate, one employee works from 12:00 noon - 20:00 pm, the second employee works from 20:00 pm - 04:00 dawn, the third employee works from 04:00 am - 12:00 pm. Aira did ask for a schedule that was at 12:00 because in the morning she had to help Ms Rahma then went to college not to mention waiting for the bus was also time consuming. Alea was also grateful to be able to work at the restaurant, so she could go to college and could help the finances of the parlor even though not much.
