Dhyanda wait

The beginning of the story of Dhyanda

The morning titled dew encourages this talkative girl to greet her day. He was ready with white-gray clothes that had been attached to his tall body.

"I go first yes, Mom" she said to Bu Arumi, a middle-aged woman who has been raising for ten years Dhyanda, the son of her employer.

"Yes, honey. You be careful!!" arumi said as she kissed Dhyanda's forehead.

After Dhyanda left, Arumi again finished her homework because soon she had to open her own home furnishings store near the market.

"Tumben just opened his shop, Ms. Arum" said someone when Arumi unlocked the rolling door of his store.

"Ah, Yes sir Danu" said Arum smiling small, "Early if early in the morning bothered to take care of the needs at home" continued Arumi again.

"Yes, Mrs Arum. I understand it. By the way, what kind of class is your mom's child now?" Ask Ms. Danu to follow her nimbrung. The couple were owners of a furniture store right next to Arumi's furniture store. They are often polite and establish good relations as neighbors in their respective business places.

"Dhyanda is in the eleventh grade, Ms. Danu" said Arumi kindly.

"Well, that's the girl. No doubt yes, soon up the twelfth grade, continue to pass High School dong, plan to continue college where later, Ms Arum?"

Ms. Danu's question just made Arumi's throat choked. Is he able to afford Dhyanda college? during this time Arumi was only able to send her to public schools that did not cost too much, that too Arumi still had to slam bones by selling in a market like this which arguably not much turnover, just enough for the cost of living himself and Dhyanda.

"There's still a year left, I'll save up for Dhyanda's tuition later" Arumi murmured inwardly.

While at a public high school in South Jakarta, Dhyanda was seriously doing her schoolwork in the library before returning home. He used to do his homework in the school library which he thought would save more time, because after school he went directly to the market to help Arumi's mother sell at the furniture store.

"It turns out you're here, Nda? I think you've come home" someone came and sat in the chair right in front of Dhyanda who was still focused on writing without being bothered by Gio's arrival, he said, the head of OSIS who did know Dhyanda because they used to be an Junior High School.

"Next month there's an art show between schools, you want to follow, right? you are good at singing and playing guitar. I'm sure our school will be back with an award like last year"

Dhyanda remained unmoved, Gio felt that his long words had been ignored. The man then took the pen that was still attached to Dhyanda's journal that was still writing.

"Hey!!" pekik Dhyanda finally opened her voice.

"Why does it have to be like this anyway, Dhy, Lo just want to respond to my talk?" said Dio who has known the character Dhyanda for a long time.

"So I have to say what?" dhyanda asked as she took the pen from Gio's hand quickly.

"Say dong if Lo agrees and wants to follow the art stage."

"No!!" firmly Dhyanda glared.

"Why? I know you're talented, Dhy. Lo also has its own attraction for the judges later" said Gio full of confidence.

"I mean, Lo?" Dhyanda frowned, she did not understand what Gio meant to say she had an attraction.

"The jury of the art performance was partly said from the brothers of art institute students, Lo kan pretty Dhy, certainly many who like and are fascinated to see Lo's performance on stage" said Gio and immediately get a news in his head by Dhyanda, "Aww..."

"Damn it, Lo thought it was a beauty contest" said Dhyanda. He rushes to put his stationery in the bag and leaves the library room with Gio still being followed.

"Dhy, wait!!" Gio stepped wide to pursue Dhyanda who had a few steps in front of him, "okay fix, I assume Lo's silence means to agree. I'll register Lo with Sir. Rian right now"

"What did Lo say?" Dhyanda immediately stopped his steps and looked to the side where Gio was there.

"Please, Dhy. Lo is the only hope, since Leony moved schools, no one is good at singing other than Lo" said Dio a little begging, hoping Dhyanda would follow the stage.

"Artists don't have to be singing and playing music, right? our school has extracurricular dance and traditional music as well" said Dhyanda.

"Yes, Lo really, Dhy. But Mr. Rian asked Lo to follow him too"

"Don't Mr Rian know me? I will never sing in front of everyone at this school except in the Junior High" said Dhyanda with a sharp eye full of probing towards Gio.

"Gue recommended Lo to Mr. Rian" Gio replied with his flat face.

"Bad brash Lo, Gio" Dhyanda snorted annoyedly, it turned out that Gio was the culprit.

"Udah muji-mujiya? Now I want to go to the market, help the sales mother" said Dhyanda then back up his feet to the school gate and left Gio who was still standing in his place.

"Dhyanda!! but you want to bring our school's good name?!" gio shouted as Dhyanda was already some distance away from him.

"Whatever Lo, Gio!!" said Dhyanda yelled back without looking back at Gio.

"Yes.yes!! finally Lo wants, Dhy" Gio was excited at his place when Dhyanda finally agreed to participate in the inter-school art performance that will be held next month.

Arriving at the market,

"Yanda, why don't you just go home?" arumi asked when she saw Dyanda had just arrived.

"I want to help you sell" said Dhyanda.

"Is the midterm exam over?" ask Arumi seriously.

Dhyanda smiled as she looked at Arumi who had been kind and accommodating and financing her life all this time. Even at the age of forty years, Arumi has not decided to get married. His attention was only to Dhyanda.

"The test is done, Mom. Just wait for the results" said Dhyanda.

"Owh yes already, then you take care of the store first yes, mother to the toilet for a while" said Arumi then passed to the public toilet that is still in the market environment.

The tringg!!

A chat call was heard from Dhyanda's phone.

GIO :I :

I've signed up for Lo, Dhy. Mr. Rian agreed, tomorrow after school Lo awaited at the school hall to start brifing and training with other contestants.

"Ck! it turned out that Gio was really serious about his nonsense" muttered Dhyanda smiling obliquely.

Dhyanda was thinking about the chat from Gio. Originally he was still not ready to participate in the art competition. Maybe tomorrow Dhyanda will try to face Mr. Rian to cancel it.

"Daddy, what size pot is that?"

Suddenly the question blew his daydream.

"Oh, which pot, ma'am?"

"that's it, that one!" point it at the pile of stainless pans behind Dhyanda.

Dhyanda immediately took one of the pots and gave it to the buyers' mothers. "This one, Mom?"

"Yes, how much is this?" the mother asked back.

"Hmm, eighty thousand" answered Dhyanda hesitantly.

"Eh, that's right to sell. The pot size gini mah is usually fifties" protested the buyer's mother while glaring at Dhyanda.

The girl became clumsy, did she mispronounce the price huh? but as far as a medium-size pot it is worth it.

Duh... Mom, how long have you been to the toilet? inner Dhyanda.
