ALVIN Trying to Rise

Night market

...Happy Reading's...

.......................

Alvin closed his eyes as the memory turned back, the incident that happened to the younger brother of Bu Leni was still a wedge in his heart.

"Is this the fate of little people like us? Always with what is called injustice? We don't even have the right to speak" Alvin murmured as he opened his eyes again.

Both hands he tucked behind the head, used as a cushion so that his head is higher than his body.

Alvin shook his head, trying to dispel a long-gone thought.

He then got up, then sat down on the side of the bed, his hand reaching for the glass filled with water that was on the study table which was only two steps away from him.

Alvin chugged it all over. His attention is now turned to the family photo in front of the study table.

There was pain in his heart when he saw a picture that seemed to hide the story in it.

Finished with his memories together with his family, Alvin now thought of the incident this afternoon, where Milka who expressed love to him.

"Sh." shush." Alvin rubbed his nape, he felt confused by what the girl was doing.

"Why can women do such recklessness?" he asked, astonished by Milka's attitude.

All this time he never thought that Milka harbored feelings for him.

Either he is too focused on his life, to make him insensitive to the surrounding. Or maybe it was Milka who didn't show it?

"What the hell is interesting about me? The feeling there was no reason for him to like me" Alvin murmured again, looking at his own body.

"Why he's not dating the real Dandi, at least he has rich parents," she told Alvin again.

Alvin then fell silent, only the first time he got the expression of love, making him shocked and incredulous.

"Akh, stop! Besides, I've also rejected him .. I hope he's not hurt by me." Alvin ruffled his hair.

He felt guilty for making the girls heartbroken. However, he is also really not born yet to establish a romantic relationship.

Finally Alvin decided to go outside and take the water. Doing night prayers became Alvin's last choice, when his eyes even felt fresh.

"Vin, wake up, your grandfather is waiting to make it to the musala together." Esih knocked on the door of Alvin's room, when his grandson had not yet gone outside.

Alvin squirms his body, he stretches a sore muscle. Alvin only realized that he was asleep on the prayer mat, with a sitting position leaning on the side of the bed.

"Yes, Grandma, I'm out now" replied Alvin, trying to get up from his seat.

With eyes that felt sore from lack of sleep, Alvin walked to open the door of his room.

"Yes, Grandma" said Alvin, exposing half of his head to the outside of the room.

"First of all, Vin, what time is it? You just woke up?" esih asked, with a surprised face.

Alvin blinked his eyes, when he heard the babble from the grandmother, plus the voice of commat from the direction of the mosque, making him realize that he woke up late.

"Geez, Grandma, am I having a bad time?" alvin asked, looking at the clock behind his grandmother.

"Yes, your grandfather was waiting for you, and now he's gone. Why are you, how can you be bad? You're not sick, are you?" esih asked, while looking at Alvin's entire body.

"Sorry, Grandma. Last night I couldn't sleep, so bad luck like this" replied Alvin.

"Can't sleep why? Is there something else you're thinking?" ask Esih.

"No one, Grandma. Yes, if so I take a shower first, Grandma. Later at dawn, the hunt passed," said Alvin who was immediately embraced by Esih.

Alvin went straight back into the room to get a towel, then rushed to the bathroom.

He got this job from one of his neighbors who also worked there. Here he worked with some of his fellow villagers.

"A', want to ride," said one of the mothers with a four-year-old boy beside her.

One of Alvin's friends who became an engine operator stopped the train that carried some of the children.

The mother immediately lifted her son to sit on the chair, after which Alvin took the seat to attach the seatbelt and ensure the safety of the child who will ride the game he guarded.

Once everything was ready, Alvin, then gave the code to his friend to run the train again. Typical an-kids music was played, becoming a companion as well as a time marker for the children.

"How much, A'?" ask one of the young mothers who approached her with a daughter about three years old.

"Five thousand, Tea, if you want directly, or can also buy coupons first at the cashier," replied Alvin.

The young mother, looking briefly at the game, then approached Alvin.

"It's full huh, A'? tanyakanya.

"Yes, Tea. if you want to be able to wait a while, if anyone comes down later change," replied Alvin.

The mother seemed to ask her son who looked excited then they waited on the sidelines.

Alvin who incidentally likes young children, seemed to enjoy his work at this time. Even if not every day he can participate in night market events.

Yes, they often move places, so Alvin can not follow them, considering he is still in school.

Not long after the wrong time one of the children to ride this game is finished, until it must immediately go down.

Alvin unlocks his seatbelt and makes sure the boy returns to his parents, as well as getting money or night market coupons, which have been purchased by previous visitors.

The daughter of the young mother was finally able to ride the game, after getting a seat.

"Before a while, A', my sister was buying her coupons" said the young mother, as others had already given her money or coupons for her game fare.

Alvin smiled then nodded, his hand giving code to his friend to run the train again.

"Here, Tea, the coupons" said the girl who approached the young mother.

"This, A', the coupon." The young mother again called Alvin who was behind her.

Alvin turned to face the young mother again, intending to take the game coupon. However, now his attention was diverted to the girl who was beside the young mother.

"Alvin, you work here?" ask the girl who turned out to be Milka.

Alvin nodded with an awkward smile, after Milka's love statement to him a few days ago, they had never met again.

Both Alvin and Milka avoid each other if they have to come to school. It felt very awkward and unpleasant when they had to meet each other.

"Yes, Mil. You how are you?" alvin asked a little stale.

"I'm good. How're you?" Milka smiled awkwardly.

Alvin nodded back. "Alhamdulillah."

"Open you're preparing for a scholarship, how come you're working here?" ask Milka again.

"Yes" nodded Alvin. Not yet had he continued his words, a call from his friend made Alvin must be permission to go from the presence of Milka.

Alvin who felt tense when he met Milka, now breathed a sigh of relief.
