“Build from earlier nak?” ask the father who just finished praying and come out of his room
“New wake up well, dad is cooking?”
“Not yet, this is going to the kitchen” his father walked into the kitchen
“There is still yah?” Rio was looking for the rest of the rice he bought
“There is little left, enough for this morning. Later dad buy again” said the father
Their compactness made Rio's mother feel grateful, she felt that her presence was no longer useful. But, she was lucky to have a child and husband who loved her very much, they never complained about her situation. The pain was not severe but he was not able to sell as usual.
Before getting sick Ningsih sold fried food around in villages, but since his health was disturbed and could not walk far he decided to rest first. Especially if he lifts heavy items he is no longer able to. The power is not strong anymore, even to prepare breakfast is not as fast as before. Her husband could not bear to see her exhausted so he forced his wife to rest, if it was healed he could cook again.
“Have woken up son, let mommy wash your rice just in front of” said Ningsih
“Iya bu” Rio put the rice he would wash and went out to sweep the page.
Rio returned to his house to change into school clothes.
“Breakfast Rio” call dad
“ Yes yes, still change clothes” replied Rio
“Live sales later after school?” ask his mother
“Iya ma'am, if you have to go home again tired, let her merchandise Rio bring to school. Who knows if someone will buy bu”
“Can only origin not interfere with your learning”
“Iya ma'am, it will not interfere kok, it will sell right back home school”
“Ya already spent her breakfast, mom to the kitchen first”
Rio nodded, instantly finishing his meal.
“Dad left first bu, early in the morning usually many go to pasar”
“Iya be careful yah”
“Dad left ya” stroking Rio head
“Yes well, be careful ya”
After her breakfast was over Rio took her bag inside the room and bid farewell to her mother.
“Rio departs yes bu”
“Iya be careful yes, if tired of selling it back home. You will have to learn not to be tired later”
“Siap ma'am, calm down Rio is strong kok” while showing his invisible muscles
“You ini” stroking Rio hair “Ya has left there later not late nights home” continued his mother
Rio gave his thumbs up, and walked out while waving his hand.
In the middle of the road Rio met his neighbor who did not like him.
“Ngapain to school bring sales, want what school sell” while laughing
“Not why I want to learn, after all the sale is right back home from school. So do not disturb” said Rio
“Makanya do not be a poor person so do not try to sell” he said arrogantly
“Nobody wants to be poor, besides I am also grateful to be healthy so I can make my own money do not ask the parents” said Rio did not accept
“Kan is indeed the duty of parents, so his son asked for money huu”
Kevin passed away leaving Rio. Kevin is not a poor person his life is enough so he does not need to work to earn money, his father is a teacher and his mother is guarding the store. The store was only built a few years ago, so it was only natural that Kevin just had to ask his parents.
Rio walked with spirit, if he is not spirit then his ideals will be difficult to achieve. That's what motivates him to easily give up on the situation. In addition he must remain eager for school, he must also be eager to sell. His intention to buy shoes for his father had to be achieved. Moreover, many shoes that are worn by him are hollow and cannot protect the feet.
Arriving at school Rio sat on his stool and studied with focus. Rio was famous as a diligent child among teachers, so Rio was like the favorite child of all teachers. The teachers already knew that Rio was unable to, Rio also sometimes got a uniform without having to pay for it.
“Assalamualaikum kids” greet math teacher
“Waalaikumsalam bu” reply all students
“Today we will learn about multiplication, please remove the book and work on the problem on the page 20”
“Yah ma'am about again” complains Kevin
“You are complaining about continuing Kevin's work, while young must learn a lot so that later it is not easy to despair let alone give up because of difficult circumstances. This is also an example for all of you, never give up because it is difficult, let alone give up before trying. Understand all” message teacher
“Paham bu”
“If you understand the problem and should not complain before you first business”
“Iya bu”
All the students were silent and focused on doing math problems including Rio, he had not turned away from the book before him.
The bell rang the sign home, Rio immediately tidied up his book and immediately walked out of the classroom. He walked to a lot of places and a lot of people there. Rio shouted at selling.
“Tissue... Beans, His knife pak” While offering to the person who is on the side also in front of him.
“No dek”
Rejection is often received, but it is common in selling. Rio never despair let alone give up, he remains excited so that his merchandise runs out quickly and immediately goes home.
“Dek buy Tisunya” says old woman
“This one is 3 thousand bu, if the big one is 7 thousand”
“I take a big one, this is his money” give money to Rio
“Iya ma'am, thank you” Rio said with a smile.
Rio again peddled the sale, in the park Rio stopped because there was a child who was crying. Rio's approaching.
“You why” asked Rio
“I fell hiks hiks” said the girl as hiccupped
“This tissue make remove your tears” Rio give one small pack of tissue
“I don't have money to buy the kiss, I came here myself, my house is on the sana” the boy showed me a very luxurious house.
“It's okay, it's free as long as you don't cry anymore” said Rio
“Thank you yes, my name is Kayla” reached out her hand
“I Rio” received Kayla's hand
They were sitting on the edge of the park, Rio while resting and chatting with Kayla.
“You sell this?” ask Kayla
“Iya, I sell tissues and beans” show the trade “You want peanuts?” keep up Rio
“No, you will lose if you are given to me all” Kayla said
“There is no loss, if sharing does not have to think of loss, we can get a reward for sharing with people, especially those who need”
“You are good ya” Kayla said smiling
“Must be a good person so that later people will also be good to us”, said Rio
