Behind the Grey Cloud

First 43 Days

Today is the first day we take part in this Olympic event.

From the morning, Aini and I were busy preparing for the race materials.

For this morning's race, we were held in groups. And coincidentally, Aini and I are on a team. That means, Aini and I can work together to get better results.

The Olympics were attended by approximately 200 schools from various regions in Indonesia.

Today's schedule, we are divided into 20 groups, of which one group consists of 10 people.

At 08:00, we had to gather in the hall with the necessary equipment.

While the accompanying teachers are welcome to attend the Teacher's workshop held at a place not far from this guesthouse.

Me and Aini walked together towards the designated hall.

We also immediately look for a place that has been determined by the committee.

The first group is filled by 10 groups, and the other 10 groups are waiting for the second.

2 Hours after the race on the first day.

It is time to rest, now,

We were allowed to rest in our rooms and come back later at 13:00

Aini and I decided to take a walk around the guesthouse to get rid of the fatigue and look for a more vibrant atmosphere.

Behind the guesthouse is a garden. Small, but quite beautiful and able to bring positive suggestions to the mind that is tense with the problems that have just been done.

We sat on a bench under a mango tree.

"Hopefully we can get through and get into the next stage, May" Aini said.

"Yes, Aamiin."

"Mmmmm, I really want to be able to study abroad Ai. But I don't know either. Maybe Ms. Yasmin also can't have me being away from her." I replied

"Mom Yasmin is your mother?"

"Mmmmm yes. Although she is not my real mother, she loves me very much" I replied

"Not a real mother? You mean she's your stepmother May?" ask the curious Aini

"Not Ai. Ms. Yasmin was my teacher when I was in elementary school. My mother went to see me and my father.2 years after my mother's departure, my father died and I had no one left. Finally, Ms. Yasmin invited me to live together. It just so happens that Ms. Yasmin is also unmarried, and she is also a kara like me." I explained to Aini.

" hummmm, sorry May. I have no intention of making you sad" Aini said guiltily.

"It's okay Ai." I replied with a smile

After that, we told a lot about school, about friends and also about lessons.

Aini and I both love Math and Physics. We both love to count, and he seems to be very good at this.

Not felt, the break time is almost over.

We decided to go back to the room to pray and then return to the hall to follow the next race.

____________________

Tonight, the workshop was canceled. Because the source was unable to attend because he was grieving.

So in his honor, the committee decided to cancel the workshop event tonight.

On this occasion, Aini and I decided to fill this time by studying harder.

Announcement from the committee that on this first day, all participants are declared to pass and can follow to the next stage.

We were busy with our work, while Retno and Bu Saudah waited for us patiently and painstakingly.

And without feeling it's already night

Bu Retno and Bu Saudah also told us to immediately beristirrahat so that besuk not bad luck.
