Black Room

First glance

His smile is a joyful ride into my heart.

****

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.

"Heuhhhhhhh...aiyaaa" Grunts.

I reached out to my BB on the table. I look at the screen it still shows at 05;54 AM. Ah, mother's habits. Always lying about the clock so I'm not late for school. I drowned my face in the pillow.

"Dikan, wake up" Call mom again.

"Yeah, yaaa" I complained. Then rise up from my bed with a very slow movement. My body feels heavy to move. I came out of the room and sat in the guest chair. My eyes felt heavy, I leaned my seat head. All I have in mind this morning is to go back to sleep.

"Breathe again. What time is it" my mother advised.

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 3 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 just pretend to be sick so 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 my mom

I just kept quiet. My mind is still in a semi-conscious state. Yesterday's drunken stupor made me feel tired. My eyes this morning were heavy and my eyes were twitching. I want to sleep again.

Mama kept chattering warning me to be aware of my obligations as a student and no longer have to go home late at night. That's how Mama is, she always just tries to remind me without ever actually 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 the birth of me in this world.

I kept hearing my mom chattering with her eyes closed. Yesterday, after playing futsal I met with a dodi and cipher who also attended a genji school. Dodi and cipher are humans in the dark. Dodi once took me to school and introduced me with a password. Sandi is also human in the dark. From the cipher I can get to know many people in the dark. One of them is bang dedek who also became my business friend in LGN. Last night I, dodi, bang grandpa, cipher and putry-His girlfriend was cipher. Spend the night with royal-royal at a karoeke place in the muaro kalaban area. Last night I was drunk with a heavy drink. That night the cipher was very royal as a celebration of his birthday. I feel like the nightlife of the office kids and the rich.

Ms. sandi is a general practitioner, duskesmas tanjung ampalu. His father was a successful farmer. No wonder he can serve you by providing famous beers and spirits provided by bebequi. Sandi told us to choose each drink. And yesterday mensen and cimeng managed to make me heavy. But I can still control it and feel peaceful. The proof is I'm still watching the championship final as derbi el-clasico.

"Woi, take another bath" said Mama again. "You're third grade don't be late anymore" continued the mother.

I walked into the room feeling lazy. My body feels heavy to give. I forced my way to the bathroom after taking the towel from my room.

After finishing the shower. My mother smiled at me when I just came out of my room.

"Get in your clothes" Mom walked up to the dining table.

"Yes, the school will be entered anyway"

I sat in the living room and put on my shoes.

"Die the same hat not to forget?" Shouting mother.

"It's over"

"Nih, breakfast first" bid mother by thrusting a plate containing rice and eggs of beef eyes on it.

"No" I refused.

"Eh eat first, let the ceremony strong"

"Later at school will also eat kok dikantin" I replied.

"Yes, at home eat first, later at school also eat"

That's mother. He always forced. I myself do not want to eat. And I'm not gonna stop pushy before I eat that breakfast.

I smiled taking a plate of breakfast from my mother's hand. She smiled and sat in the chair in front of me. It was clear from the look on his face that he looked happy when I started eating the breakfast he had made.

"You're 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. It's just as closed as your mischief"

"No need for a pinter-pinter school. Being able to take classes is enough" I replied.

"Yes, mother's hope is just one. You can finish high school." Mother stood up from her seat "Important not to cross the line aja waynya you" 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 insisted and begged me to stay in school. At least I can finish high school even if I don't continue to go to college.

But I also can't control myself not to do the things I love and let my mom down.

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"

"okay"

"Yes a chatty mother" Gurauku

"Don't forget to close the door either"

I smiled kissed. I went to school feeling happy. Although my happiness is incomplete without the presence of my father.

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. "Damn, it must be too late" I said. I increased my motor speed in the concrete streets of the school zone. In the school zone there are several schools including High School 4, MAN 1, Junior High School, Elementary School, and MTSN.

The sound of my motor brake rang out to make all eyes point at me.

"Dikan, it's still too late for you" shouted chato-satpam, who was sitting in the teak shop.

I just turned around regardless of what Chato 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. Tiiiitttt" the sound of my horn when soerang a girl who walks a little too tight. The girl flinched and then immediately avoided the edge of the road. I looked back. I saw the girl put on a sour face looking at me congo. Who's the girl? He dressed like a teacher? Is he PL at my school too? But I've never seen him before. I still remember the face and name of the student who was PL at my school. It seems like he's not the OT teacher at my school. And that's good.

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. It's suhaimi. He sat down with Afdol and Nurfan. They were the only residents of the canteen this morning.

"What's wrong?" tanyaku lansung

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

"Whoa, the cave wants this ceremony" Sahutku.

"What a ceremony people already want ready you just come" replied Nurfan.

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

"Eh no, continue, the cave does not want to skip again" I replied.

"Well, you're weak right now. Usually also you ngajakin we-we futsal" said Nurfan.

"When, the cave doesn't want to get in trouble again. You know that fan. Now it's just a cave of its own. So the cave doesn't want to get in trouble again"

"It's very geeky now" said Afdol

"Like you by now" I answered and laughed.

I promised myself that I would change. At least I'm no longer dropping out and skipping school. 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. But this morning I came back not to attend the ceremony.

Afdol and Nurfan tell me about their new school. They say their school is a free school. Whether they enter or not they graduate. 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.

"Definitely want you to move in also to afdol school?" Said the ferry while walking towards us.

"No sir, I woke up late, sir" I'm ashamed.

"Go ahead, let's keep you together" said the ferry

I just kept quiet. Then stand. 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's office" said the ferry.

I walked in the steps of the ferry. Afdol and Nurfan waved and laughed complacently. Shit, I'll respect the flag again for hours.

Arrive in the office. Mr. ferry told me to sit in the guest seat. In the office there are only two teachers. Some teachers still follow the ceremony on the ground. Buk Asmarni was busy talking to a woman who was quite young. Buk asmarni smiled at me.

"It's still going, not bored" 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. Smiling woman. 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. The woman continued to smile even though I looked at her.

"Why?" Ask wonder.

He lowered his head. Like she was ashamed of me. Who is that young lady? Is he a OT teacher too? But I just saw it this time. Later I'll have a story with that woman. Just read.

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 delay.
