Athan and Aletta
Smile
“at least enough of that smile that makes me happy.”
Chicken sound
crowing out loud in the ears, some of the Arcux members had already woken up from
sleep soundly, the Muslims perform dawn prayers at the mosque near the headquarters
and the others put the bansos on the pickup car.
In the corner was Aletta who was leaning on Areksa's boat, the girl
still in the dreamland. Areksa was awake, but still
in his place and let Aletta stay leaned against his shoulder. Until the sound
athan's shout made the girl instantly open her eyes.
“Build all woi!.”
“Athan very noisy anyway.” Rengek Dinda with a crumpled face
wakey sleep.
“din lo kucel bang.” Micella's voice makes Dinda direct
open your eyes and take your phone to check.
“what?!.” Dinda immediately ran to the bathroom with a bag
make up her little.
Aletta blinked her eyes, looking next to her was Areksa, the girl
it was a sweet smile. Although Areksa was not the first time to see that smile
to him, but his heart was still pounding very fast.
“mulu dating! Work!.” Sindir Athan, but not Aldo and Lala
who felt insinuated, considering they both had just come from the mosque
for dawn prayers.
“our people just finished praying.” Aldo replied annoyed
“not lo.”
Aletta who was upset because of Athan's attitude immediately stood up and helped
the others cleared up the trash before their departure.
Finished tidying up the headquarters and cleaning up the trash that is where, where,
Aletta sat in a chair near the workshop.
“want me to take you home first, still half an hour before
departing.” Areksa Barat
“by.”
“ngga do, I'm the same Aletta, anyways I want to take
clothes at Aletta's house, you go back and get ready too, meet again here.”
Athan interrupts Aletta and Areksa's conversation.
“for Athan said, you go back and get ready, I can be together
Athan.”
Areksa just nodded, some went home to pick up clothes, some went,
some stay at the headquarters, and there are also those who do not stay at the headquarters so
it has been coming at the headquarters since morning with complete luggage.
Arriving at home, Aletta immediately got off the Athan motorbike.
“lo still diem ta?.” Athan
“apa?.”
“yaa lo diem mulu.”
“continuously I have to say what else than?.”
“ya what cake.”
“ngga there, already there ready, I go up first.”
“dandan beautiful.”
“indeed I usually not beautiful what.”
“strik bang dong.”
“cihh.”
Aletta rode on the second floor to her room to take a shower and
take care of some of the clothes he'll be carrying, even if only last night there,
but he still needs a change of clothes.
Not until 30 minutes, Aletta down the stairs with a bag
yellow school wear, a bag containing a pair of clothes, and
some important skincare, do not forget to bring powerbank guard if not
there's electricity.
Along with this, Athan also came out of the guest room
with neat clothes, jeans, black t-shirts, and the usual black denim jacket
he wore everywhere, the jacket that the Arcux children had painted, including the sign
the Arcux children's hands.
The two of them headed to the base, it didn't take long to get there and
everything is ready. Roni is in charge of driving a car with bansos on it together
Dicky and two of the Arcux boys sat in the back. It was Athan
taking Aletta with him, but Aletta is already with Areksa, after all
it's strange that Athan snatched Aletta who was Areksa's girlfriend in front of the kids
Arcux, Athan is joined by Dinda. Aldo with Lala as usual,
and Micella with the other Arcux kids.
The trip to the ploso village takes 4 hours
if the city is not jammed, because they leave quite early, the vehicle is still
little, the road is smooth. Getting into the area to the countryside is quite jammed because
there is a market in the middle of the intersection.
The road to the village was not entirely asphalt, it was still
rocks and soil, the same situation there is rain, adding more and more roads
bad, puddles everywhere. This indicates that the development has not
thorough down to the rubble, not only bad roads, even transportation
rare to find, there are only trucks carrying stones and sand from the river,
or a wood truck from the forest.
Arriving at the village hall ploso (author's work) they all
turning off the motor, Athan went straight inside to meet the village chief, they too
warmly welcomed.
“good morning sir.”
“mas Athan?.”
“iya sir.”
“oh yes, login-in mas.”
“thank you sir.”
“please sit.”
Athan and Roni sit on the living room couch.
“ini mas who?.”
“Roni pack.”
“oh yes mas Roni.”
“i've contacted and handed the letter officially to the village
it's a week ago sir, and last night I've contacted mr.”
“saf lo yes hp me this if at home there is no signal, yes if
you can use wifi here. But I just read Athan's message, I
“iya sir.”
“if in this village there are only 20 heads of household, can be seen
alone if all in the forest, I have also announced that there will be
bansos from kids city.”
“approximately when can sir share?.”
“if for example here yes can not, know your own distance home
here it is far away, must come to the houses.”
“ohh so.”
“later there will be people from the village directing, the possibility can
until the afternoon, plan to stay where this many children? When I go home no
maybe, the way if tonight is dangerous, no lights, no people, if
why no one knows. Just stay at the villa next door, it's got a villa
me, yes if there is a visit like this useful.”
“real sir?.”
“loh yes bener to mas.”
“thank you very much sir.”
“sama-sama.”
After talking to the village chief, everyone went straight to work
by using the motor each bansos mebawa to the houses delivered
people who work in the village.
Athan and the other children including Aletta are part of the area
the last one and must pass through the river. The Areksa motor cannot either
there, so Areksa along with the other Arcux kids and Aletta with
Athans. Dinda herself stays at the Villa with Micella, they both reluctantly join
because the road is bad.
Up to the river bank, all turn off their respective motors and
park it on a fairly wide football field near the lading of people.
To get to the area, they have to pass the river, the current is not
profusely, even the water was clear, some small children were playing water there, there,
near a slightly deep area.
While carrying a fairly large package and divided each
people carry one package of bansos, one by one down through the river flow
and rise back to the mainland after reaching the sebrang.
Stop Athan, Aletta, and Areksa. Aletta brought
one package, and Areksa also brought one package, while Athan had to
carry cardboard containing instant noodles.
“bang, can you?.”
“can.”
Areksa helped Aletta cross the river, “this is all I have
the bring.”
“ngga nothing, I can kok.”
“engga here already, you hold my arm.” Areksa take
built-in Aletta
Aletta smiled and held Areksa's arm tightly, in the back
they had Athan snorting in annoyance at the scene of the drama in front of him.
Athan with wide strides past Areksa and Aletta.
They all arrived in the area, different from
other areas, in the area there is still thick with custom. Everything works
in farm. The clock shows at 12 noon, and many of the residents are in the middle
resting under a tree in each other's fields.
For a common woman at home, even the same age as Aletta and
his friends had to stay home helping both parents, cooking and sometimes
join the field, if the time to grow crops. Some are married, too,
those who should get married are those who have a lot of debt and only
by marrying his son, the debt is considered paid off.
Aletta sat with one of the women who lived there, looking
the same age as him, before that girl was drying clothes in front of the house.
“halo.”
“eh hi mbak.”
“aku Aletta, whose name are you?.”
“Goddess mbak.”
“salam knows Dewi, you are still in school?.”
“engga hehe.”
“what age?.”
“15 year.”
“wah we both know, if you may know you do not go to school
because what?.”
“married.”
“ha?.”
“i am married, if in the city must still be school yes, here
age 12 years ago married mbak.”
Aletta only nodded in understanding, a moment later
a group of people dressed in black came.
“eh I go first.” Pamit Dewi while running in a little
into home.
Aletta saw some of these people coming to the Goddess' house, but
before that one who seemed to be a leader looked towards
Aletta's. That gaze made Areksa who knew, directly approach Aletta
and take her away to join the others.
“why are you there alone?.”
“tadi-.”
“that's the boss in this village, more precisely the ruler here, a lot
the girl he married.”
“include Goddess?.”
“who?.”
“girl who was talking to me there.”
“ya can be, let's join the others.”
Aletta nodded and followed Areksa joining the others
giving a banzos why the people who live there. Done handing out,
all back at the Villa, even Aletta was still thinking about the girl she met
with her earlier, Aletta felt sorry to see her condition like that,
Aletta herself is very grateful to be born in her family, all this time Aletta
just complaining because both her parents are busy, but now Aletta is sober
that they are busy wants Aletta to stay happy and have complete facilities.
