WHAT ABOUT ME?
34
1 month later...
I have been neatly dressed in a white ash ash uniform.Today is the first day of school after a long wait and vacation at home.
yesterday afternoon I set out on delivery by Mr. de Shomad, heading to the boarding house located not far from the school.
mother let go of me with tears because this is the first time I parted with mother.mother, Jasmin promised one day will make mother happy.
ready, I rushed out of the room and did not forget to lock it. This boarding house consists of two floors with each floor has 10 boarding rooms with outdoor bathrooms. fortunately, I got a boarding room on the first floor, so I didn't have to go up and down stairs to get in and out of the room.
as the foot stepped waiting for the highway, a girl in a white uniform of ash approached me.
"hey, you're the new student? " so friendly.
I nodded "yes, you know? " ask me
"yeah, our uniform is the same, still new, hehe... know me Gita, you? " he said as he thrust his right hand
"greetings Gita, I'm Jasmin" I shook his hand.
"ah Jasmin, what if I call Jeje, okay? " tanya again
"can you be a real person here, or from another city? " ask me curious.the article that the girl just came out of the house of the neighbor of the boarding house.
"yes, the real person here Jas, that was my house. You cost in the place of Ima ma'am huh? did I see you get out of there? "
"yes I cost there because my house in the far corner, if you want to go to school must travel quite a long way, so my mother is sure to make sure not to be tired as well" I replied.
the two of us walked together to the school which only took five minutes from the boarding house on foot.
on the way we continued to exchange stories, apparently Gita also entered the department ta ta bu there, apparently, hopefully later we can one room because in the classroom there are 2 rooms in one class of majors.
setting foot in the school courtyard, we immediately rushed to the hall where a new student orientation event will be held within 3 days
I sat down next to Gita and soon the show started.
we began to enter the first material, today only the introduction of the teacher, the school environment and some material from the teacher of choice.although in the orientation period, but there are no bullies or jokes that are not useful, but not useful, the student orientation event here is very useful and fun even we do not feel bored because both the committee and the teacher entertain each other and provide direction to each other.
the show's over, I'm back with Gita, before going home I plan to stop by the stall to buy lunch because this morning I did not have time to cook when my mother had brought me rice and also a rice cooker.
"i want to buy lunch first, you go home first is all right Git" I told Gita.
"follow to my house aja yuk Je, we have lunch at home all nyicipin my mother's cooking, yuk" he asked happily
"don't need Git, take care of you later, I buy it in a stall, I've gone to the stall first" said I want to turn to the stall not far from kosan, but Gita held my arm.
"come on, my mother is good, as well as I know you, my mother likes it when I bring a friend to the house, come on" he asked me to pull my arm.
inevitably I followed Gita who led me to her house.
"mom, mother.my mother came home." cried Gita calling her mother, but her mother was not far from where she stood.
mother Gita got up from her seat and approached us.
"speak Gita first, habit deh" reprimanded the mother.while Gita only chuckles.
"assalamu'alaikum mother of Siti. "greet Gita slowly to her mother.
"wa'alaikumsalam, well that's good.Who is this, so sweet? " pointing it towards me.
"his name is Jasmin ma'am, the new occupant of the boarding house is Ima, Je knows this is my mother" said Gita.
"assalamu'alaikum ma'am, I'm Jasmin" said I then kissed the back of his hand.
her mother Gita is very beautiful despite her age is no longer young, her facial line looks calm so anyone who sees it will feel comfortable nearby.It deserves Gita is very beautiful, she said, apparently downhill from his mother who is also no less beautiful.
yes, for me Gita is a beautiful girl, her sharp nose with round eyes and yellow skin makes her look very beautiful. unlike me who has dark skin due to sunburn so it's not interesting at all. If I'm a man, I've been shooting him since I first met.
"wa'alaikumsalam, apparently a new neighbor anyway, mother name Siti, just call Siti ma'am. you have eaten, if not let's have lunch together, happened to be a cooking mother a lot"
"not yet ma'am, so Gita took her home to let us have lunch with us" replied Gita interjected
"yes, let's go Jasmin, let's go to the kitchen" he asked then he passed first to the kitchen while me and Gita followed from behind.
arriving in the kitchen, Siti prepares the dishes and opens the food hood.
on the table have prepared some side dishes and vegetables that are very appetizing.there are stir-fried kale, fried chicken and flour squid do not forget there is a small bowl of sambal terasi.
"Let's have Jasmin sit down first, mother prepare the plate and the glass" he ordered
I just complied, took a sitting position next to Gita and waited for Ms. Siti to finish preparing the dishes for us.
today's lunch was so delicious, especially if I rarely eat chicken or squid squid feel very happy, I feel like I'm finding diamonds in the sand in the ocean.
finished lunch together and a little chat, I decided to leave because the day had begun to afternoon.
"don't play here, son Jasmin, let's just say this mother is your own mother so you can slightly treat the taste of your kangen with your mother in the village" he said
"God willing, ma'am, Jasmin will stop by again" said I then say goodbye to go home.
***
It didn't feel like three days I was going through a student orientation period at school and now it's time for the real lesson to start.
I went with Gita. Entering the school gate, I found something that made my heart beat so fast, the flash of the past was now back again even though I had been trying to forget it -
