Arinda, First Love

A Beginning

Arin awakens when sunlight appears to be peeping in the window of her room. I do not know how many minutes he was silent on the bed without intending to get up in the slightest.

His eyes were already open, but his body was still reluctant to move and just wanted to roll on the mattress for a day. But suddenly there was a knock at the door, his mother calling him to come to breakfast together at the dinner table.

"Rin, wake up. It's noon. Let's have breakfast." said the mother behind the door.

"Yes ma'am, I take a shower for a while" replied Arin as she lowered her legs and tried to get up.

I rushed to the bathroom, and it was not until 15 minutes that he had completed the ritual bath. Due to lazy dress up Arin decided to get out of his room and go straight to the dining room.

His father and mother were sitting sweetly waiting for him to join. He chose to sit across from his mother.

Slowly the mother seemed to take the rice and side dishes into a plate owned by her father. And of course while issuing advice that every day makes Arin's head dizzy when he heard it.

"If the girl, try to wake up not late. Later your soul mate more and more to take people." said mother while taking the side dish to her father's plate.

"Yes ma'am, the feeling every day mom says it continues. Isn't it usual ma'am, well." said Arin casually while sipping a cup of warm tea in his hand made by mother.

"That's tea I made an hour ago, but you're not waking up. Finally I made another new one."

"Oh yes ma'am, sorry and thanks for the tea" said Arin smiling broadly showing a row of teeth that looked white.

Yes this is the new life that Arin has lived for 1 year since he left the company Bayu. He lived in a village located on the coast of one of the beaches outside the island of Java.

His father and mother bought a house there and started a small business in the village. That is the cultivation of dried shrimp that is commonly used as a cooking spice.

While his mother opened a class to teach children around the coast, of course, free alias free. And sometimes Arin also helps teach the children there.

The village there is quite remote and rarely there are outsiders coming. Many children in the village do not go to school because economic life in the village is still quite difficult.

Therefore the mother wants to teach the children there at least to be able to read, write and count. He also created a free library that was next to the class where he taught.

"Today you help mom in class, mom wants to go to town to shop for our monthly needs because it's going to run out." explained mom.

"Yes ma'am, Arin will be there in 1 hour." replied Arin agreed to his mother's request.

Because actually he does not have a job and only unemployed for the last 1 year. His mother got irritated because Arin now prefers to spend his time alone sitting for hours on the beach.

Even so, not infrequently he helped the work of his father and also his mother. He advised his mother to open a free school for local residents.

"Who's mother went with you?" arin asked while chewing rice and side dishes with his mouth.

"Mother went with Mr. Hendra, because the father was busy again he said" said the mother slightly ketus deliberately insinuating her husband.

"Well, mom, I do. Usually also if the father is not busy father. Mom, you go with someone else" replied her father patiently.

The atmosphere of the dining room was so boisterous with the debate of the two but Arin even smiled knot and remained relaxed while eating his breakfast in the morning.

***

There are not enough driving economy wheels there yet. Although his father opened a small business there, it is still not easy to grow rapidly. He can only open jobs for a few people.

Though here many beaches are beautiful and still very beautiful, but locals refuse to open the beach as a tourist spot.

Because they do not want the beauty of their beaches to be polluted because of people who are less responsible when visiting. Because people in Indonesia still have a low awareness of waste and its impact on the environment.

Many people ignore the problem because it is considered as a simple problem that in fact never finished in our country.

Therefore his mother was very excited to set up a school there someday. He will start with emergency classes to quell illiterate children first.

Because I want the community here to be a good and useful human resource anywhere, especially for himself.

Living for 1 year there changed many things in themselves including mindset and behavior. Arin felt a lot of gratitude because he was given the opportunity to get a better life.

Educated parents, an economy that can be said enough even if not rich. There are many more lessons he can learn while he is there.

Arin can also learn to love herself more. And for that, he was determined if he would recover from his mental illness. By loving yourself, it means that he will not do something that can hurt himself.

He is lucky to have a very good support system. Not only do they always support him in every circumstance but they also always help Arin to keep getting up when he feels down.

Help him who is learning to walk even though he is still trained. And for that he became a lot of grateful especially considering the sacrifice of his parents to move with him.

They even left a lot to be there. Only Adrian and his wife still live in the rainy city. While Dean, whose college will be finished soon, decided to settle in Bogor and will move to Jakarta after graduation.

Because he happened to get a job offer from where he interned when he was in college. Only 2 times they came to visit since Arin and his parents settled there.

And both Arin's parents only came home 1 time in the last year when Dean was about to graduate while Arin settled himself.

But even so Meisya the sister-in-law always contact her every day. Even Arin was almost tired of responding to the phone call from his very chatty best friend, as things are today.

Kriiiing, the phone ringing went off again. With lazy Arin also raised her on the fifth ring to make Meisya upset.

"Ariiin, why the new lift?!! " squealing Meisya with a jerking tone upset made Arin keep the flat object away from his ear for a moment.

"Indeed I think here is idle if there is no work." grumbled Arin while rubbing his ears slowly but still heard in Meisya's ear.

"Hey, you're there unemployed. Still busy father with mother even, the basis is not productive." Meisya said reminding Arin to make a small chuckle.

"What's up anyway? Don't you bother me every day? Where is my brother?" arin said as he folded his lips, the habit he did every day was to make his dear sister-in-law upset.

"Gue is disturbed with lo fans who come back and forth here nyariin you continue. Wonderful already a year too, is not a girl specnya more than lo." Meisya sneer who only responded to laughter by Arin.

"Damn it! laugh again. In my opinion what information body in the question continues about the whereabouts of lo." he continued.

"Prophey, they will get bored! I used to, my brother-in-law is busy." said Arin very sweetly.

"Such shit ah, so cute lo! yes greetings to father and mother." said Meisya while turning off her phone with annoyance.
