Dreams for Real

Rio was already able to move back, but his mother still did not allow him to sell because Ningsih was worried Rio why-not later on the road. Ningsih allowed Rio to sell again when Rio was completely healthy. To the school Rio was escorted by his father, so that Rio was not tired because the distance from the school to his house was good, and Surya was also worried if he let Rio walk.
“Daddy same Rio left first yes bu” said Surya
“Yes yeah, be careful. If you have finished school, go straight home so you can rest” said Ningsih
“Iya bu”
“Assalamualaikum”
“Walaikumsalam, be careful yah”
Surya pedaled his bike, since driving Rio to school Surya did not leave early in the morning, he said, of course, the income is slightly reduced because if it is a little afternoon only a little to the market and many people have gone home.
But Surya is not worried about all that, for him the sustenance is set and will not be exchanged. Surya did not have the heart to see Rio have to walk, actually when he came home from school Surya wanted to pick up Rio, but Rio refused him enough to leave just delivered home Rio can still walk.
“Rio get into class first yes yah” Rio kiss his father's hand
“Iya, you learned diligently ya”
“Yes well, dad be careful ya”
“Ya already dad left yes, assalamualaikum”
“Waalaikumsalam”
When Rio was about to enter the classroom, Kevin suddenly blocked him.
“Eh there is a new delivered with his father, ride the vehicle again”
“Sorry, Rio want to enter ifsi” Rio tried to find a gap to be able to enter
“Sobong really, just also ushered using pedicab already kayak ushered the same car course”
“Indeed why wear a rickshaw? Does anyone forbid? Not forbidden while not stealing the property of the people” said Rio firmly and then push the body of Kevin who finally Rio can enter the class.
Kevin was upset with Rio's attitude, Kevin didn't want to lose he still followed Rio behind him.
“Sobbish you” said Kevin
Rio did not respond to Kevin's words, he felt that there was no point in fighting with him that Rio had run out of energy, let alone Rio had not healed yet. He must save his energy to go home from school on foot.
Kevin returned to his seat because the bell had rung and his teacher had also come. A few hours after class, the school bell rang.
“Remember mom's message yes, soon you'll be taking the class exam and you'll all move up to 6th grade, diligently study because in class 6 will be selected by smart children to get scholarships to enter SMP”
“How come I don't need a scholarship sir, papah I used to pay me” said Kevin proudly
“This is not capable or not, this is an opportunity for you to be able to lighten the burden of parents a little, understand children?”
“Paham pak”
“Ya already you can go home”
All the students left the class and went back to their homes.
“Kevin!” call Rio
“What's the matter call-call”
“You home? Together ya” take Rio
“Enak alone together, I was picked up papah”
“I thought I'd like to walk, sorry ya”
“Street? No level on foot”
“Ya I've come home first ya”
Kevin did not reply to Rio's words, Rio finally went home alone. Rio is not selling because sometimes his body is limp, maybe because it has not healed making Rio so often limp.
“Assalamualaikum” said Rio
“Iya bu”
“Change clothes first after that eat yes, let it heal” quickly
Rio nodded and went inside his room. Rio is indeed a diligent child, although not completely healed Rio forced to go to school for fear of being left behind by lessons. Soon he was also in 6th grade and Rio had to study hard in order to get a scholarship and his father did not work too hard to finance him.
“Eat a lot, soon class 6 and want to enter SMP ya” said his mother
“Iya ma'am, Rio soon the class increase do’ Rio yes hopefully Rio can test”
“Surely son, do’a mother never broke up for you, but you also have to take care of health”
“Iya ma'am, Rio will take care of health. The proof is Rio ate a lot to be healthy” said Rio jokingly
Ningsih smiled to see her son was now growing up, there was a feeling of joy and sadness in her heart. Seeing Rio always smiling was his happiness for him, yet when it came to seeing Rio selling made him sad and pity. Rio had to be exhausted from sharing time for school and selling.
“You rest yes, if you want while learning is okay, but do not get tired” said Ningsih
“Iya ma'am, mother also rest, let Rio who is done this same dishwashing”
“Mother go to room first”
Rio finished his meal, finished eating Rio washed the dishes.
It was noon, Rio fell asleep after studying. Surya is still not home, usually Surya will go home when it is afternoon, because if it is late afternoon there are rarely people who will come out, they are out in the morning or a little afternoon to the market for shopping. But there are also those who come out if they are stuck with urgent business.
The sun has set leaving its reddish light, the bird sings as if enjoying its beauty. The wind that makes the trees dance with the song of a loud-sounding bird.
Surya arrived at his house, he set foot to enter the house.
“Assalamualaikum, bu Rio” call Surya
“Waalaikumsalam” Ningsih out of his room approaching Surya
“Rio where is bu?”
“There is in his room, may not hear well, I first call ya” Ningsih into Rio's room
“What's nak” ask Ningsih
“This ma'am again finish wardrobe” replied Rio
“Dad called to not come out. Definitely not heard?”
“Eh dad is home bu?”
“Yes dad has come home come out, maybe dad directly shower”
“Iya ma'am, ayok”
Ningsih and Rio came out and sat down waiting for Surya to finish bathing and praying.
“This is no money well, at that time the sale had not been given to Rio's father was sick at that time”
“You have the pocket money?”
“There is well, Rio already sisain for the snack for father only if you want to buy side dishes or rice”
Surya received the money that Rio gave.
“Oh yes father was home mother, between the mothers selling fried food there continue to be more fried food given to father, let's eat” Surya opening plastic wrap containing fried food
“Wah alhamdulillah yes, there is only sustenance. It turns out that it is true that sustenance will not go where” said Ningsih
“Iya ma'am, thank God because everything has been arranged by Him. We must not put His will first”
“Daddy is right, leave it all on the creating, will definitely be easy”
Surya, Ningsih and Rio enjoyed the fry by telling stories, Rio told the events in his school about the scholarship and Kevin's treatment to him, Surya also told the passengers and things that were felt earlier. The most beautiful time is with the family even though it is not a luxurious life, because luxury does not guarantee family happiness and wholeness, as experienced by Surya and his family.
