Black Room
First glance



We always have the opportunity to fall in love and create happiness


****


This morning, I woke up with a door bang and a sound from outside the room that I had grown sober in my sleep.


"Dikan's. It's 7 o'clock, you don't go to school" cried mom.


"Iyaaaa" I'm lazy.


I reached out to Blacberry on the table. From the phone screen I saw at 05;54 AM. Ah, mother's habits. Always lying about the clock when it wakes me up in the morning. Ibh did that so I wouldn't be late for school. I drowned my face in the pillow.


"Fisher.... Get up" Call mom again.


"Yeah, yaaa" I complained.


I got up from my bed with a very slow movement. My body feels heavy to move. I came out of the room and sat on the couch. My eyes felt heavy, I leaned my head against the sofa wall. In my mind this morning is back to sleep.


"Breathe again. What time is it" said my mother. It still passes next to me.


I'm still not flinching. My eyes still feel heavy for me. Last night, I watched the El-Clasiko (Barcelona VS Real Madrid). I may have only been asleep for three hours. But now I have to get up for school. I want to say that today I don't want to go to school, or pretend to be sick so that I'm not allowed to go to school. But then I got rid of my wish.


"Make it go home, not evenings. I know I want to go to school tomorrow" said Mom.


I just kept quiet. My mind is still in a semi-conscious state. The drunken pus last night made me feel tired. My eyes this morning felt heavy with a view that felt cloudy. I want to sleep again.


Mother kept nagging me to be aware of my obligations as a student and no longer had to go home late at night. That's how mom is, she always just reminds me without ever really forbidding me. In the past, my parents were among the group of people in the Sundanese country. I have a Taylor business. I have a lot of kariawan who sell pants and clothes. And we also have a three-story house there. I lived in that house three years ago for six months. Before finally sold because of the increasingly urgent economic situation in the village. And said brother, since my birth the family economy began to decline until finally bankrupt. But mom said it was just a tragedy that coincided with my birth in this world.


I kept hearing my mother chattering with her eyes closed. Yesterday, after playing futsal I met with dori and cipher who also attended school at MAM TanjungAmpalu. Dori and sandi invited me to spend the night with a royal-royal at a karoeke place in MuaroKalaban. Last night I was heavily drunk with a snapper-class drink. Mensen, old man and marijuana managed to get me drunk. But I can still control myself. The proof is I can still watch the final of the champions league last night.


Ibu sandi is a specialist doctor at RSUD sijunjung. While the father of a PNS. I'm not surprised by the very royal cipher with his birthday celebration. Last night, I felt like the lives of office kids and rich people.


"Dikan" Mother clasped my arm. I opened my heavy eyes.


"Body it again.... You're third grade don't be late anymore" said the mother.


I walked into the room feeling lazy. My body feels heavy to give. I took a towel and forced myself to walk to the bathroom.


My body feels fresh after the shower. My mother smiled at me when I just came out of my room. I took my shoes and sat on the couch.


"Put your clothes" said the mother who walked into the kitchen.


"Yes, later in the school entered really" Sahutku


"Die the same hat not to forget?" Shouts mom reminded.


"Udah"


"Nih, breakfast first" bargained the mother with a plate of rice.


"Not to ma'am" I said


"Eh breakfast first, let the ceremony be strong" said the mother still standing by thrusting a plate of fried rice with eggs beef eyes on it.


"Later at school kikan will also eat kok dikantin" Sahutku.


"Mom cooked this for herself. Fried rice with soy sauce. Definitely delicious. Try it" said the mother who kept forcing me to eat breakfast.


I smiled and picked up a plate of fried rice from my mother's hand. Fried rice soy sauce made mother's taste good. Mom smiled. Mom looks happy because I ate her fried rice greedily.


"You're in third grade now" said the mother "Don't make trouble again at school" he continued.


I just nodded and continued eating.


"Many teachers say you're a poor kid. Just yeah....You are bad" said the mother


"No need for a pinter-pinter school. Just being able to go to class is enough" I said.


"Yes, mother's hope is just one. You can finish high school." Mother stood up from her seat "Ruler may, as long as you do not cross the line" he continued and left me in the guest room.


Mother is the reason why I'm dying to complete the remedy. When suhaimi my classmate began to resign that he would not go to class. I changed completely just because I didn't want to stay in class and I let my mom down.


I asked to quit school. Other than no intention. I also felt sorry for the mother who struggled alone to pay for my school. I want to work and no longer bother my mother. But my mother begged me to stay in school. At least I can finish high school even though I won't continue to go to college. But I also find it hard to control myself. When I'd rather skip and play futsal than be immersed in a boring lesson.


The hamlet tuo road in front of my house began to be crowded by vehicles. I took my bag in my room and was ready to go to school.


"Mom, let's go first huh" Pamitku from the living room.


"Yes, be careful on the road" cried the mother from the kitchen.


I took my motor out of the house.


"Don't speed around with the bike" cried mom again.


"Yeah buuu" Sahutku.


"Don't forget to close the door either"


I smiled kissed. I went to school feeling happy. However, the feeling of happiness faded instantly if I remembered the father. Ever since I was a kid, my dad never took care of my school at all. I don't know what the father had in mind so he never cared about his son's education. Mom said, you changed since we moved to the village of MuaroBodi. When I was a child, my father and mother used to live in the village of SolokAmba. But the father and mother were expelled from the village only because the father mortgaged the family heirloom. And since living in MuaroBodi father so changed and no longer care about family.


I glanced at the clock in my right hand when I had just arrived at the gate of the entire zone. 7 O'clock in 20 minutes. Shit, it must be too late. Gumanku's. I increased the speed of my motor on the concrete road. My school is in a school zone close to other schools. There are six schools in the school zone. SMP 3, MAN 1, MTSN, SD 07, SD 06 and kindergarten.


Three before I go to school. The sound of my motor brake rang out to make all eyes point at me.


I just turned around regardless of what the security guard said. The bodo time with him. I also try not to be late. Pampered after the fork. I'm back to adding my gas motor.


"Tit. Tiiittt"


I honked my horn when a woman walked a little. The woman was shocked and pulled over. I looked back. The woman put on a sour face. He's probably upset because I just surprised him. But it's still better than I had to hit him. I parked my motorcycle in front of the tek rida canteen.


"Tuh dikan" said tek rida after seeing me.


"What tek?" My solute.


"Konsi you seek" replied tek rida.


"Dikan" Call someone from the canteen.


I went into the canteen. Suhaims. He sat down with Afdol and Nurfan. They were the only residents of the canteen this morning.


"What's wrong?" I approached them.


"Sit down first" Tawar afdol. "Hurry up" he said.


"Dant. The cave wants a ceremony first" Sahutku took out a hat and tie from inside the bag.


"Recommemoration what the fuck. People have started before" replied Nurfan.


I'm silent for a moment. Drumband music is heard singing the Indonesian national anthem. Shit, I'm not ceremonial anymore. Gumanku's. I put the hat and tie back in the bag. Then sit next to Suhaimi.


"There will be spring futsal with MAM children, afdol troupe sama nurfan. You're coming with ngak?" Ask suhaimi.


"When" Sahutku. "Teak. Cigarette tek" I ordered a cigarette to tek rida.


"Later ten" replied Suhaimi.


"No. Continue, cave ngak want to skip again" said I took a cigarette from a helping hand tek rida.


"What etek said. Dikan has changed" said tek rida porch walking forward.


"Changed into power ranggers" Sahutku confounded tek rida.


Tek rida laughs. I burned my clove cigarettes.


"Do you really want to come?" Ask suhaimi again.


"When" Sahutku.


"Yeah of your cowards very much now" said Afdol


"Gua doesn't want to get in trouble again" I said


"Usually you're the one who convinced us. Culun very lu now" said Nurfan.


"Like you by now. Anyway the cave wants to come" Sahutku.


I promised myself that I would change. At least I won't drop and skip school again. I'll try to get in from morning till I get home even if it's gonna be boring. Well, at least it's only a year away.


Afdol and Nurfan tell me about their new school. They say their school is a free school. Enter or not enter, they will still pass. Yes obviously. After all, their school is a school that holds children who live classes. While Suhaimi still takes care of his transfer letter to PGRI High School in the city of Padang.


I was too cool to chat with suhaimi, nurfan, and afdol. Until I let my guard down and did not see the ferry-sports teacher who was in charge of looking for students who did not participate in the ceremony. I gasped to see the ferryman standing at the door of the canteen. I can't avoid it anymore. I immediately threw my cigarette out.


"Would you like to move in and attend afdol school?" Said the ferry as he walked closer.


"No sir, I woke up late, sir" I said looking for an excuse.


"Go ahead, let's keep you together"


"Don't sir" I'm clear.


I just kept quiet. Afdol, nurfan, suhaimi laughing complacently. In the past, the four of us were often chased by a ferry because they did not follow the ceremony. There was a sense of pleasure even though we ended up getting a flag-respecting penalty for two hours. But now, I feel so afraid to face the ferry sir alone.


"Ayookk to the office" said the ferry


I stood up and walked over to the ferry. Afdol and Nurfan waved their hands with a satisfied laugh. Shit, I'll respect the flag again for hours.


"When will you change" complained the ferryman.


"Just move in our school sir" said afdol.


Afdol, nurfan, and suhaimi burst into laughter. I followed in the footsteps of the ferryman who walked into the office. Arrive in the office. Mr. ferry told me to sit on the couch. The office looks empty. There was only a busy asmarni talking to a young woman. Buk Asmarni smiled after seeing me.


"Dikan, dikan, no bored-boss you make trouble" said buk asmarni and walked away from the office.


I just smiled shyly. Buk Asmarni is a good teacher. If some teacher gets upset and angry at bad kids like me. Buk asmarnah that embrace and invite us to discuss.


Drumband music that sings one national song is heard chanting in the office. At first glance I gasped at the woman who was talking to buk asmarni. The woman smiled. I don't know who he's smiling at. In the office now there is only me and the woman. Her smile was stunning with dimples on both of her deep cheeks. She kept smiling even though I looked at her.


"Why smile" I said.


The woman lowered her head. It seems that the woman is embarrassed. Who is that young woman? Is he a OT teacher too? But I just saw it this time. Later I will have a story with that woman.


The ceremonial line sounded disbanded. Mr. ferry came with a case book. I gave my autograph. Then the ferryman told me to walk around and perform a ritual for my two-hour delay.
