DON'T GIVE UP

HER NAME IS AYU OCTASAFIRA

Flashbacks: flashback:

"Young huaaa...."

At that time many children were crying because they did not want to be left behind by their mother and at that time I entered school the first time accompanied by my mother.I wonder why other children were crying loudly, I was crying,I was a little girl who was still held by her mother to the bench sitting at the table opposite there was a girl who did not cry when she was left by her mother,when I wanted to go to him our teacher turned out to have entered the class all the children were afraid.

Someone pulled her mother's clothes, someone pulled her hand and someone wanted to chase her mother outside the classroom.I don't know why I didn't cry like the girl was confused.

"Hi, sweet kids. Welcome to the beloved Kindergarten" Master began to adapt to his new students who had just entered. All the children were silent.

"Kids why are you crying? The teacher didn't bite you." Further.

Sh's...

Everyone cleaned his tears with his hands. I was still innocent followed like them when I had no tears and again I saw the girl giving a tissue to her friend also helped wipe the tears of her next friend.

"Well, if you're calm. Teacher wants your name, huh? oh yes, before the teacher wants to introduce himself first, introduce the name of the teacher's mother is a prophet. Remember the children her name is mother teacher is a prophet if there is a problem here you can find me yes children" mother teacher introduced her name to the children who just entered her kindergarten.

When the teacher said for a self-introduction subconsciously I immediately jumped up in excitement while clenching my hand.

"This is what I've been waiting for, I finally know his name" I thought.

"Son, what are you doing?" Ask the teacher in surprise.

"Well..." I, who was embarrassed, sat back down.

"Now the mother teacher wants to name each of you yahh." The teacher repeated his words.

All the children were told to come forward by the mother teacher to introduce themselves.yes because we were still our children were embarrassed and afraid. The girl I saw constantly finally it was her turn to introduce herself, her time on my bench she was very cheerful but when in front of us she was nervous to the point of hiding at the feet of the teacher's mother.

"Ehhh why are you so shy?" Ask the teacher "I'm ashamed mom" she replied innocently, "ohh yeah already gapapa, so whose name are you? So that your friends know the name of Ade." The teacher immediately gave her confidence to introduce herself.

He stood up in shame and said, "my name is ayu...." All the kids and the teacher didn't hear what she said, "ade, are you ashamed?" The girl nodded her head. "Oh. ade has to be louder so that friends ade and the teacher know what ade's name is" the teacher reassured the little girl again. Again, the boy introduced himself "MY NAME IS AYU OKTASAFIRA.." but he said it with a shout the whole class was shocked. After that, she cried loudly.

"Young...." The teacher immediately calmed him down by giving him candy.

"It's quiet, it's candy for ade" the teacher showed the candy to the girl until the little girl accepted the candy and stopped crying.

Now it's my turn to introduce myself up front, "let's de, introduce your name to your friends" the teacher told me to introduce myself when I first introduced myself in front of the crowd it makes us feel awkward, groggy and embarrassed let alone our heart beat fast. I introduced myself to the floor with a face because I was so nervous.

"P... My name is ahmad afrizal." And that was my experience when I knew him.

After all getting acquainted, the children learn the first thing from the teacher's mother is to know the letters of the alphabet,

everything goes until school.

Crane..kring...

The bell rang, and we all ran to his parents. Again and again I looked at the girl, why do I see her so often.

"Wa'alaikum hail bu cici".

I don't know who you're talking to, but the girl's next to him.

"This is mom's son? Funny thing" the mother pinched my cheek. "Ah sick" I murmured to the mother.

"Snick's mom's son also goes to school here?" Ask my mother to the girl's mother, "hai, you're ayu yes" my mother came straight to her but she hid at her mother's feet.

"Haha why are you ayu?gapapa is a friend of haha's mother" his mother calmed him down jokingly.

"beautiful mother's son yes" my mother praised the girl's daughter.

"Thank you ma'am, my mother's son is also handsome" This is my first time being praised and probably also the last time until now no one has praised me anymore except my own mother.

"Let's go home together" my mother asked.

"Come on, mom, grab a chat"

Finally we went home together on foot because our house was close but why I rarely saw him play yes ah my curiosity got stronger.

After my mother and I got home, I asked her "mother, who is that?" With a smile my mother said, "that's our neighbor" while stroking my head. "Izal, how was the first day of school?" The one who asked was my father, I immediately ran and hugged my father while telling him everything I did earlier. Mom and Dad laughed when they heard this story.

If you were still here, I would not be lonely at home waiting for me to come home. My father died while he was at work said the people he was hit by a stun at that time I was playing directly run with sadness knowing that my father was being brought a group of citizens into my house. I don't know why my father was lying in a living room full of people around him, I saw my mother crying looking at him like that. Perhaps, it is my destiny to be able to make my mother happy in the world and in the hereafter.

All the residents came to our house to takziyah my father, distant relatives immediately came when they heard this news. Now, I'm looking in the mirror in front of me remembering all the things that happened in the past,it's sad to be left behind by my father and I don't want to lose my mother now because I want you to see that one day your son can be a successful person.

"Ah... It turned out to be in front of the house" I was thinking too much about the past to be surprised it turns out I have arrived home, I also knocked on the door and opened the door hoping mom still welcomes me with a smile.

"Assalamualaikum" I went in and it turned out my mother was asleep in the wooden chair of our living room. I woke him up to move into the room.

"Mom.mom wake up mom"

"Ngh... What's wrong son" asked my mother who woke up from her sleep.

"Sorry mom, why don't you sleep in the room?" I asked her softly.

"Mother overslept, son hehe" mother calmly answered me, "maybe I'm tired so I overslept here" he continued.

"Mother don't get tired mom, I'm afraid that later mom will get sick from working every day for my school fees" I feel guilty because I'm my mom so exhausted like this.

With teary eyes my mother replied, "my son, I won't hurt if I'm strong".

" But it's still that tired mommy can make us sick" I replied anxiously, "well mom, I'll take my place to work and make money" I said as I promised my mom.

While we were talking in front of someone knocking at the door. Tok... Geck... I opened the door and it turned out to be.
