Between the Dusk Border

Pierced

"Juna" said a middle-aged man approaching Arjuna.

"sorry sir, I was late there was still a job at school" said Juna with his head down.

"it's okay, you can help me wash the bowl. After that we continue selling". That's how the daily juna is done by working and making money, without caring about some friends his age who live free without burden, he must be able to find money for his own life.

"his buyer was a lot, sir ?" say juna while washing the dirty bowl.

"as always, son, quiet. Yes natural now meatball sellers are not just the father, many sellers whose meatballs are better than the father's". said the middle-aged man who was wiping the table.

"you've had lunch yet, eat first if you haven't".

"no sir, juna had lunch" after washing juna clean his hands using a napkin. Juna was pensive with his thoughts, school fees were getting more and more while he was confused about where to go again.

"sir" said juna slowly

"what is it, why does your face look so tired and tangled. Are you having a problem, son ?"

"no sir, juna is just thinking about schoolwork"

"if you have a lot of tasks, go home son, let the father take care of the stall".

"no sir, juna can help the father to close, besides schoolwork can be done later".

"son juna this meatball for you, later do not stay up if tired of rest first" said the father while staring at juna.

"yes sir, if so juna paid first"

"yes" said the father while watching juna who took his bicycle.

kasian was also the child, had to bear the burden alone, but maybe if it was someone else they would not be as steadfast as accepting destiny. Or it might even say if God is unfair, but the child still widens his heart. Trying to accept the destiny God gave him and trying to live it.

when she reached her humble home, she led her bicycle to the door, opened the locked door and went inside. He walked to the bathroom to take a bath, after which performing the isha prayer. Juna prayed to God how grateful he was today.

"thank you for all the favors you gave today, God, thank you for living in a comfortable place until now, still being able to eat good food, I can still see the beautiful world. Strengthen juna's shoulders to be stronger to face the rigors of life, God".

do not forget he pinned the name of the woman he likes, praying for the best for the woman. Juna never felt the feeling of falling in love, because since the first focus can only be school at the school he was after.

after he finished worship he walked to the kitchen, opened the package of meatballs, almost every night he ate meatballs because every time he worked he was given a pack of meatballs for his dinner, sometimes juna also helps sellers of fried rice, chicken satay, and much more. He does everything to meet his needs.

he picked up the bag next to him and started doing schoolwork today, he didn't want to put off work no matter how tired he was. He'll still finish it.

"hem, it's not supposed to be the answer like this. What I did not pay attention to the teacher's explanation earlier" juna tried to remember the teacher's explanation last afternoon, indeed sometimes he was a little difficult to be able to concentrate thinking. After a few hours struggling with the pen and book that was in his grasp, Juna finally closed the book. The clock has shown at 23:15 it is time to rest his body.

In the morning, Juna was preparing to go to school, he was pedaling his bike to the place where his school was, he always leaves in the morning because he is a disciplined person especially he rides a bike so must arrive at school on time.

while on the road he saw a middle-aged man who wanted to cross him stop his bike and help the grandfather to cross.

"thank you, son, for helping grandfather" said the grandfather whose back was slightly bent, his appearance was tangled.

"where's the grandfather from ?" juna said while watching his grandfather.

"grandfather has sold used goods, grandfather now wants to find used goods again son"

"yes, son, yes, grandfather left first" said the grandfather.

"a little cake" juna reached into his bag and took some money, and gave it to the old man.

"it's cake, sustenance for grandpa. It's not much but hopefully enough to buy grandpa's food today" actually it's juna's allowance today, but he won't have the heart to see this grandpa working in a hungry condition.

"no need to kid"

"do not refuse the cake, juna sincerely give it to grandfather, if so please excuse me first yes kek, pray good for juna today".

"please may God bless you son" said the grandfather, stroking juna's head.

juna walked back to where his bike was, pedaling his bike towards school. When he arrived at school juna saw there was dion and his friends were in the parking lot, indeed the day was enough day because last time juna cut off to help the old grandfather he met.

juna also guided his bike in the rear parking lot, when passing the group of dion juna was stopped by Dion and his friends.

"what the hell can you be proud of yourself, nothing at all superior to yourself lo" said Dion with a mocking look. Juna himself just kept quiet without intending to answer he again led his bike but when he was about to step he felt his bike on the pull.

he fell down with his bike and then without feeling dion and his friends kicked the bike until it was thrown horribly.

"junk alone brought here, do not pantes tau ngga" said one of them Dion. Juna wanted to stand up to take his bike but sat back down when his hand was firmly stepped on by Dion.

When Juna wanted to rebel suddenly his hands came off and he could see Dion falling while rubbing his bloody lips and dirty face.

"THE BEAST BASE OF ALL OF YOU"

arjuna recognized the voice, he looked up and found Jehan standing with a calm face but with a sharp eye.

"Who do you dare to bully others huh" jehan does not like oppression, anyone who dares to bully others and jehan see it then do not expect him to stay silent.

"shame the good name of the school" the girl stood up while taking off the gloves attached to the girl's palm.

"next again, can not really do not need to interfere in my business. Lo who's the cunguk this hah until the whole ngebelain".

"what's the same business you heh, mending you out of this school rather than being trash that makes the school so bad" the woman was still not satisfied, so it feels like she gave a lesson to all of them.

"so arrogant class, what I need to buy this school trus gw outin lo and your boyfriend who is this village" said Dion while looking disgusted at jehan.

Arjuna was just silent, indeed he could what, want to rebel free he will remain in oppression. Want to rebel or silence will equally harm him.

"WHAT NEED GW BUY MOUTH LO, TRUS GW THROW INTO THE SEA" the girl stared intently at Dion, daring once the man said something that disturbed his pride. Even dared to underestimate him with that gaze of his.

"BRAK"

jehan was angrier to see the man he thought was his enemy kicking the body of the juna until the man moved.

"Abrazed you, what a human is not heh" because it has been piety Jehan threw his helmet towards Dion standing and hit the man's head. Without waiting for the time Jehan approached the juna whose head had already shed blood and helped the man stand up.

looking for a quiet place Jehan prefers to go to the cafeteria, he takes off his bag and picks something up. Juna could see that the girl was taking the medicine neatly arranged in the p3k box.

"i've told you that in the piercing do not be silent" the girl nagged while pouring rivanol into cotton.

"i also want to repay them but I can what, I'm just a lowly person who will not be able to do anything" said Juna while holding the pain on his face.
