After the zhuhur prayer at the school musholla, Blue and Bono rushed home.
Like yesterday, the 2 friends came home from school together. Along the bike with other friends, Bono, who could always make his friend not stop laughing, joked along the way with his friends, including Arini.
" Arini, how's Rara doing? "
" Rara was awake earlier, finished sleeping and went home after the last hour of rest! "
" Who is Rara coming home? "
" Send by pure Mother. "
" May Rara be healthy quickly, because many are worried about her condition. " Sindir Bono, nudge Blue.
Blue patted Bono's shoulder.
" Anyways, I'm worried too, I'm Rara's friend. " Kilah Bono won't lose.
Blue is silent, no more serving Bono.
" But he still has a fever, don't know why. " Arini looks worried.
" It was raining yesterday Rara was sick. "
" Yes maybe Rara was playing in the rain, so the fever. "
" Uhuk..Uhuk.. " Blue suddenly coughed
" Don't tell me you're sick too Bro. " Tukas Bono's.
Silent blue looked lethargic, nothing stuck in his heart.
" Bro, stop by the house first get changed, just go us? "
" Hmm.." Blue Mumbles.
" Let's go, bro.." Bono pedaled the bike quickly.
" Wait.." Arini is after Bono and Blue.
Not long after, they had arrived in front of Arini's spacious courtyard.
They put the bike on the side porch, Arini looks in first.
" Get in Bono! " The sound of Arini's bell was heard from inside.
Arini took a bottle of ice water and 2 glasses, brought it to the terrace.
Blue and Bono sat on the floor, breathing fresh air.
" Drink Bono. "
" Lunch here, Bono, my mom cooks a lot, I haven't come home. "
" When will Arini come home? "
Arini shrugged her shoulders, not knowing. Arini passed inside to change clothes.
Blue just remembered he asked Mr. Bahrun for help to buy Bono a bike. Blue hopes Bono doesn't turn him down.
" Eh Bono.every afternoon you have no job."
" Often when you find grass for livestock Mr. Suwoto, I free bro afternoon no more work. "
" Ehm.that, Mr. Head of the village there is work for you. " Blue Doubts says.
" You mean Mr. Bahrun, Mr. Arini. " Call a complete Bono.
" Yes Om Bahrun.."
" What job? " Tanya Bono is serious.
" This is !" Blue pointed at the spacious courtyard before them.
" This is what? " Bono was confused, Blue scratched his nape.
" Every afternoon you sweep the yard of Mr. Bahrun's house. "
" Sweep? " Return Bono.
" Yes your work, help sweep this broad page. " Light Blue.
" Quiet there is a fee, quite can add to your income. " Blue again.
" Thank you Bro. " Bono hugged Blue tightly, Blue to a cough.
" Detach..Uhuk..Uhuk.."
" Sorry bro, I'm so happy. "
" Thank you, old man Arini dong, I'm just saying it. " Blue Subterfuge.
Blue won't, Bono knows this is just Blue's excuse to help him.
Blue will pay Bono every week out of his own savings.
" Later in the afternoon you start working! "
" Ready Boss! " Bono looks happy laughing.
Blue felt bad, a help that according to Blue is not much, can be useful for Bono.
Bono, I hope you can make your parents happy with your hard work.
" Yes Auntie.."
" Come on, Bono, come on in! "
" Yes, Mom.." Bono looks rowdy.
Blue invites Bono in, she pulls Bono into her room.
Bono sat on the edge of the Blue bed, playing it.
" It's so nice your bed, bro, if I sleep on this soft mattress, I'm lazy to wake up. "
Blue smiles at her maugu Bono. How would Bono react if he saw the Blue room in Jakarta. Maybe Bono could faint.
Bono is basically an orphan, unable, and should be the backbone of the family.
" Bono, after graduation what do you want to do? " Tanya Blue wants to know.
" Any bro, the important thing is halal, the important thing is to eat me the same as my Mbok. " Answer Bono as is.
" You want to come with me to town? " Blue Bargain sounds serious.
Bono to the amazement of his making.
" I'm going to town? " Bono scratched his head.
" Who's Lha the Mbokku? "
" Let the Mbok stay with Om Bahrun, you can transfer money every month for the Mbok. "
" What I work in the city bro, if only graduated high school, many scholars who are unemployed there. " Bono Subject.
" That problem you don't have to worry about, the point is you don't want to change the fate of your family. "
" Is this serious, bro? "
" You think. " Blue stared coldly.
" Hehehe.." Bono just laughed, he didn't know what to answer. He wants to change his fate, make Mbok happy, can eat well. But he also did not have the heart to leave the Mbok himself.
Geck..Geck..
Bono opened the door, tilting his head from the crack of the door.
" What's the matter Blue changing clothes? "
" Mom told you both to eat, it's already prepared at the table. "
" Yes a minute.."
" I'm going to Rara's house. " Pampit Arini.
Arini passed by leaving Bono, Blue still changing clothes, wearing a T-shirt with knee-length denim pants.
" Bro we were told to eat first. "
" Let's eat and go home! "
After eating Blue and Bono saying goodbye to go to Bono's house. Bono changed clothes, they want to go to the river to find fish.
Bono pedaled bicycles, they huddled, down the riverbank.
Bono stopped near the fields, Blue went around his gaze circling the fields and the river before him, the same river where he and Khayra met for the first time.
Chubby chick, quick healthy huh. Blue Mumbles.
Blue sits on a boulder pelting the river with pebbles.
Bono fished the fish with a tool he made himself from bamboo.
" Bro here. help me! "
" I can't catch fish. "
Blue goes down to the river, helping Bono hold the trap.
" Get bro! " Bono lifted his trap.3 medium-sized fish were caught
Almost 2 hours they are looking for fish, enough fish that are obtained almost 2 kg.
Bono weed fish scales, Blue helps clean fish with river water.
" Alhamdulillah, quite fish can for the side dish Mbok. " Bono's face looks happy.
Blue just knew, how happy Bono was to make parents happy with his efforts.
Blue stared blankly, happy is simple enough for Bono.
For Bono, he and Si Mbok can eat that is enough.
Something unimaginable by Blue, all this time Blue only demands the attention of both parents, Mama and Papa who according to Blue is too busy piling wealth, he said, I was busy expecting love from them.
Mama and Papa just gave me excessive material, a luxury I didn't want.
But looking at Bono who had to slam the bone for the Mboknya, it's very sad.
I'm not grateful, I just assumed my parents were busy looking for money, without me realizing they were doing it for me, his son.
Forgive Blue, Papa and Mama, Blue does not understand the sacrifice of Mama Papa, who fought not knowing time for me your son.
Blue was stunned, Blue scooped his face, he just realized from his mistake in both parents.
