Behind the High School Uniform

Chapter 6. About Rima

"By!" call him again, as if something came back he wanted to tell me. His face looked confused, I don't know what exactly.

"Rome! Why si? From now on, I saw your face, how rich are people so confused? What's up?" sahutku, who then asked and made sure to Rima.

"Emmm.. Gui, Ra. Actually, I want to love your work. But, I'm not sure, if you want to take this job" said Rima, making me more curious to make.

"work? What's the job, Rim? I'd want to, I. You know for yourself, how am I doing now?" timpalku, without thinking long about the work that Rima meant at that time.

"Call girl!" chirp Rima, who I either misheard, or indeed Rima who was joking. To be sure, I did not respond to his words at all. I just laughed, because at that time I felt that he was mocking my situation.

"Cock on the dike, Ra? Don't you want to, lo?" ask, a little to make sure.

"What's that, Rim? I am serious! If you answer it like that, same if you cheat me again!" I also protested a little bit to him.

"But, I'm serious, Ra!" chirped, while continuing to convince me.

"You go, Rim. Don't talk about it anymore!" I said, who was really confused. Either Rima was joking, or indeed she just wanted to tease me.

I stood up, intending to leave Rima for a moment. However, when I was just about to step up, suddenly Rima's words seemed to hold him back.

"Lo thought, I could live this cool, because what, Ra?" tanyanya, which made me then undo my intention to leave him.

"Gue's living as a country, Ra. No chat, no bokap, no more brother. Logically, a teenage girl like me, living alone without parents, still able to go to school, can still be free to buy this, buy that. Wear expensive clothes, luxury items, have a house, appearance always wow! Where's the money, Ra?" continued, again. A little bit makes me think.

"Don't say, Lo so.." I haven't been able to continue my question, apparently Rima has understood, and immediately answered it without waiting to finish my question.

"Yes! I'm doing all that, because I don't want to live hard, Ra. I don't want to, my school dropped out halfway. I don't want everyone to insult me, just because I'm poor! I don't want to, Ra!" as much as possible Rima explained it to me.

I was just speechless and quite dumbfounded by all the words of Rima at that time.. Instantly, I saw her face that had turned red, as well as her eyes that were beginning to glaze over. At that time, I really still could not believe, if Rima could do that, just because she did not want to be insulted as a poor person.

"Lo see who you are now, Ra? Sorry are! I don't want to insult or insult you, Ra. But, maybe your current self, is a picture of my life, if I don't do it." Connections, again. Now, her tears are seen falling and dripping down her cheeks.

"Yes, I know, Ra. But, I don't care at all, Ra. I'm poor, I'm tired of it, will everyone care about me? I cry, because I can't go to school, will they all care? No, Ra! They don't care at all. Same with me too! I'm not going to care what they say, who always talk to me, always gossip me. After all, I also never had the name of living with them. Bodo time is very, the same as their talk! Importantly, I can continue my life, without the need for them." Said Rima, who made me seem to agree with what she just said.

"Gue knows, Ra, you're a good boy. But, well it is not possible to be enough, make your stomach change is sluggish, so full. Neither will you be able to, to heal nyokap lo, who now again needs treatment. And, is it because you're a good boy, you can pay all your debts? No, huh? You keep being nice, you won't be able to change things, Ra. What else changed your fate!" continued, again. This time, I began to feel sick, lingering listening to his words.

"Enough, Rim! Everything you said was true. I can't stand with all the facts either. But I still have a clear heart and a clear mind. Everyone has their life choices, right? And I also will not be guilty lo, I also do not want a lot of comments anyway, about what you have chosen for your life. But, please! Don't burn me, what else forced me to follow what has become your choice! Because what? Because I also have a choice for my own life, Rim. And what you said, it's not an option that I have to choose at this time." I said, a little affirm to Rima. If I wasn't, I wouldn't choose to be like him.

"Oh, huh? You just said, if what I choose now, not the choice you have to choose at this time. Then, there is still a possibility, right, make you change the choice? Yeah, well, it's not for now. But, for tomorrow? The day after tomorrow? Or even later, we never know, Ra. Because we don't know, Ra, which scenario God has, which fate has us accepting. Only He, who knows! And there should never be pride in rejecting an opportunity, before God takes away that opportunity!" reply, who then moved from his seat, while leaving without a word of goodbye.

I was also upset with all the words and statements Rima at that time. But, I tried as soon as possible not to remember everything he said.

I began to try the bodo period, and forgot Rima's words. By busying myself, clean up the rented house I just occupied.

Until finally, I managed to forget his words, which I think was just a misguided invitation from him.

After finishing cleaning the house, I also took the time to see the state of my mother. Apparently, Mom's still asleep.

Slowly, I started to get closer to him. I saw the look on his face, which instantly reminded me of my father.

Not felt, now my tears are back dripping. But I quickly washed those tears. I don't want, if my sobs are later, to wake Mom up.

I quickly got up, and walked slowly out of Mom's room. Then, I started walking quickly, towards my bedroom.

Arriving in the room, I sat in a bed that was quite reot. I looked around my room, very much different from my previous bedroom.

Which, my room used to be the warmest, most comfortable place for me to rest very quietly. Without even a single thought of something I really shouldn't have thought of, other than just my lessons and grades at school.

But now, everything changes so quickly. My room is no longer the most comfortable place for me. Just now that my eyes wanted to be closed, suddenly everything came back to my mind.

How can I now rest in peace? In the meantime, I have a lot of things to get done as soon as I can. However, I don't know, in what way, and how, I should start to finish it
