WHAT ABOUT ME?
57

The moonlight began to come, replacing the dawn that began to sink. I sat pensively in the living room recollecting the flash of time I had been through.

Apparently becoming an adult is not as easy as a shadow when he was a child, the burden carried is very heavy, not only family but also yourself.

I thought back to Naila and Vidya's conversation this afternoon.

"you realize no, Rania's appearance was like a person who woke up, when she was not usually welcome guests in a mess like that, I became suspicious that she was hiding something to us, " naila said when we got to my house

"kirain is just me doang who feels strange, especially he was nervous for a while right, right we talk to, " said Vidya

apparently my two best friends also feel like I feel, but I don't want to make bad thoughts about Rania, although anyway, she is still our friend, and we have to understand her.

"i'm actually also suspicious, but we can't think negatively first, right we also no one knows about what Rania did in the house, maybe next time we go to his house and try to tell him slowly. "

My mind went back across the air, flying in an indeterminate direction, pieces of mass and then came back.

"again there's a problem, brother? " mother came and immediately sat down beside me, scrutinizing my face closely

"what mom? " i wondered because my mother was by my side

"are you in trouble again? I noticed, ever since Naila and Vidya came home, you've been daydreaming a lot? " ask mom back

"no kok ma'am, Jasmin just did not expect that in a moment Jasmin will pass, "

mom gently caressed the top of my head, whether she believed it or not, I just didn't want to make you think.

"you accepted an offer from Tari's mom? "

I shook my head slowly, honestly I started to worry about the decision I was going to make

"If Jasmin accepts, then what about Mom and Jefri? "

"mommy said, do whatever you want to do, brother, mother and Jefri problems, you don't have to worry, we can take good care of ourselves,"

"but if Jasmin leaves, I promise to always take care of health, Jasmin hopes that if Jasmin works later, when Jasmin returns home, she will be the first person Jasmin meets. "

"yes, sis... "

Sunday afternoon I'm back in town because tomorrow, I'm going to take the National Examination.

before leaving, I first visited my father's tomb and asked for my blessing.

mother hugged me tightly, she also pinned a prayer for me to be launched in everything.

***

The next morning, I was tidy in my gray white uniform, today and the next few days, Grandma Ida forbade me to do homework, "focus on learning first" that's what he said when I asked him why I wasn't allowed to do my job.

I've been tidy, when going out of the room, Nek Ida has already called me first

"Jasmin, let's eat first, son! " call him from the kitchen. I opened the door and ran to him.

"iya nek" replied me in between the steps I approached him.

Today's test went as smoothly as I hoped, hopefully tomorrow and beyond will always be made easy.

PASS, one word that makes clear crystals come out of my eye sinks.

I was hoping to be anxious in the room because I never got word from my homeroom teacher. though from the information I get that the graduation or not of students will be announced at 1 pm, while my homeroom teacher announced it at 2 pm.

I immediately went out of the room to look for Grandma Ida. yes, indeed until now I am still in her house until my school business is finished, he also did not mind because he was there to accompany at home.

"Sir, "I ran towards Grandma Ida who was sitting on the sofa in the living room, immediately I fell into her arms.

"graduated, right? " ask her with a happy smile as if knowing if I really will pass

I nodded my head and looked at him "iya nek, thank God... "

after telling Grandpa Ida, then I contacted my mother to tell me the good news today. I'm not worried if mom is waiting because I did not tell when the graduation announcement was announced.

After graduation announcement, usually will be held a farewell event at school.

I received an announcement that the farewell will be held one week later.

I immediately called my mother at home to inform her about the event, because indeed at the farewell event later, we will bring one of our parents.

1 Week later,

In the morning I was at Gita's house because we were going to decorate before going to school, and it happened that MUA who was rented by Gita was her neighbor.

Although only graduation ceremony, but we are asked to wear dresscode, which is wearing kebaya for women, while Jas for men.

I called my mother again because she would also come to town early in the morning so as not to be late. I'm grateful that mom is on the way so I can take it easy.

almost an hour we were in makeup, so we looked so different than usual.

ms. Siti, Gita's mother had already left for school with another mother, while me and Gita would follow because we had not finished in makeup.

Finished in makeup, Gita and I rushed to school on foot because it was not too far away.

from a distance I could see the school gate that was starting to quiet, but there was one person who made me feel full.

mother, she was standing at the edge of the gate alone with her head turned right to the left as if looking for something.

I immediately approached my mother and hugged her tightly, there was really no intention of me making my mother have to wait for me long outside the school while the others had already entered.

"mom, sorry, "I quietly held back the speed of clear crystals that were about to come out of my eye.I seemed to be a cruel child who let his mother wait alone outside school.

"it's okay, mom also just got there" mom patted me softly on the shoulder trying to strengthen me.
