An Asa

12

According to Bian's instructions, tonight Asa and Chandra went to a road that was a little quiet from the vehicle but crowded with people. Asa had only come to a place like this for the first time.

Last afternoon Bian told me that tonight there will be a wild race with a big prize, Bian obsessed with wanting to win because his opponent tonight is Gavin the chairman of the motorcycle gang from Cakrawala High School. If Asa wants to accept his offer to become a jockey, a motorcycle and a new mobile phone Bian rumored to be a gift for Asa.

At first Asa wanted to refuse because he never rode a motorcycle, but Bian was ready to teach him if Asa was interested. Finally Asa decided to accept Bian's offer, with the agreement only this once. Asa does need money, but not by joking with the angel of death.

Bian only took two days to teach Asa to ride a motorcycle, within a week the man was good at meandering in the streets, like he was carrying a little bit.

And tonight Asa is sitting on a black bike that will be his, of course, if Asa wins this match. That's what makes Bian sure to tell his papi to buy a new motorcycle last afternoon, so Asa gets more excited.

A full-face helmet and a black hoddie are attached to Asa's body, only the eyes of his eagle are visible from an Asanendra Indrayan. If his sister knew for sure he would be lectured by Arka for up to five hours, Asa promised in this heart only once. After this, Asa will invite Chandra to find a better job.

At the starting line Asa left by Gavin who immediately shot, Asa took a breath and prayed that his life was still intact until the finish later. Along the way Asa tried to stay focused, but the words of the late Mbah Sumi always ring in Asa's ears.

"If Asa grows up, find a good job, live well. Although a little bit of Halal Origin, son. Because humans are creatures that are never satisfied, then multiply grateful. Do not leave the worship and prayer of Asa."

'Forgive Asa Mbah, Asa promised only this time Asa did this work. May Mbah want to understand Mbah.' Asa's heart is not good. He felt that he had disappointed Mbah Sumi with his behavior like this. Asa knows wild racing like this is not part of a good job, but Asa also has to prove to her mother and Cindy that Asa can survive without their money.

Sunday night in use other teenagers to meet with the idol, update, watch or someone sitting relaxed in the room playing online games. Asa instead uses his time to speed on the road looking for rupiah, for the sake of his survival. At the same time can also end the hudup, if a little calculation misses.

The finish line mark is increasingly visible in front there, Asa began to increase his speed. Could not he have to win tonight, he did not want to disappoint Bian.

When Asa started pulling the gas in her hand, the motor drove even faster. Even the night wind was more piercing in Asa's body, even though the Hoodie he was wearing was quite thick. The sound of shouting is increasingly heard, in the heart of Asa can only chant as much basmallah. Regret first why he was not diligent in teaching like his sister, and now he feels like the most stupid person.

Asa's motor speed past Gavin and drove to the finish line, all his friends immediately ran to hug Asa, congratulating him. A look of satisfaction adorned Bian's face, and it made Asa happy.

"Nih letters motor and mobile phone to Lu, thanks Sa, thanks to Lu ... finally I can be satisfied to defeat the Gavin." Bian thrusting a paperbag.

"Gue said what, you must have won Sa." Gio.

"Wiihh new motor dong yes, do not forget to be alone later she is jealous." Edo.

"Udeh udeh said congratulations later, we mending pegi aja nyok from here. Fear of hunting for a pakpol to come." Chandra.

"Where if we go to the place of fried rice Mang Udin aja, I treat it already." Dawn.

Everyone agreed to Fajar's suggestion, they darted towards a fried rice merchant wagon that ran near the red light. Asa thanked all her friends, she really did not expect to have a friend like them.

The clock shows at four in the morning when Asa arrived home, Asa was about to pull the handle of the main door when the door opened from the inside. Looks like a teenager out wearing cocoa and sarongs. His face was still wet either because of face washing or ablution water.

"Ang just got home? where's Abis from, Bang?" Arka asked.

"What's Bang doing coming home at this hour?" Arka stared suspiciously, looking at a helmet that was on her brother's arm.

"That's whose helmet bang?" Arka asked again because her brother did not answer.

"Had Brother, Dek. Brother works at the club."

"Abang has a motor now? where's the beetle going?" Arka surprise.

"Yes, we are still in the workshop, a week ago there was a rusakin, tomorrow just want to take." Asa's face turned sad when she remembered the sikumbang.

Already from three days ago the owner of the workshop told Chandra that it could be taken, but Asa did not have the money so he was forced to leave first to donate in the workshop.

"What! who dares to rusakin to bang?"

"Not knowing either."

"Keep Brother went the same way home from school what?"

"Pake the geboy."

"Who else is Bang?"

"Motor's got Bang Chandra, Dek. Brother nebeng same with him."

"So that's what's the bike you buy?"

"Astagfirullah Dek, Abang did not help. That's from temen, brother nyicil pay. I told you that I now work."

Arka still wanted to interrogate her brother when the dawn of Azan reverberated, he rushed to the mosque. "Our business is not finished, Bang. I went to the mosque first. Assalamualaikum."

"Getishalight."

Asa laid her body on the mattress with gray sheets, who did not change, Asa did not think too much about it. Drowsiness began to attack, his eyes began to close, his body was really tired, he wanted to rest for a moment and forget all the burdens he bore in the real world. Picking up the world he always wanted in the dream world.

Arka hastily returned from the mosque, her curiosity is still stirring. He did not want until his brother was wrong, he had to remind the brother not to be misguided. Arka opened the door of her brother's room that seemed to be sleeping very fast, regular breathing proved that Asa was not lying.

Arka face handsome face belongs to his brother, closed eyes that have pliable eyelashes, life is sharp, lips that are rarely used to smile it looks thin. Arka started crying, not knowing what her brother was going through at school. He knew everything from Asa who entered the BK room the other day or when Cindy insulted Asa, but the fear of being thrown back by her mother made Arka silent. He can only pray that his brother is given a strong mentality.

"Born brother, you can definitely, Bang. Arka is still my brother's brother."
