Dreams for Real
4
After finishing his meal Rio went into his room, he instantly broke down his body. Every day Rio had to go around making his legs hurt sometimes, but with rest and sleep could heal his legs. Rio never complained when in front of his parents, if Rio complained for sure his parents would not allow to sell and he could not save to buy new shoes for his father.
“I put this money into the piggy bank first” Rio rushed up to pick up the piggy bank to put the 5 thousand money he got from the sale, he said, the 2 thousand he kept afraid he was hungry or wanted to buy snacks. Rio kept his piggy bank back then he went to sleep, because tomorrow he has to get up early, if there is still time he will go to the stall to deposit money and take tissue and nuts. But if it will be late to school, he will go home first.
Rio woke up when he heard the dawn adhan, he went straight to the bathroom to take a bath and took ablution. Rio was already used to waking up when the dawn adhan was reverberating. If her age child is still asleep, Rio has woken up to perform the morning prayers.
Finish the morning prayers Rio went straight to the kitchen, as usual his father was already there. He was busy cooking rice and frying fish.
“Available son?”
“It's well, daddy fried fish? Let Rio help” said Rio
“You continue the fry yes, I want to go to the bathroom first”
“Iya yah” Rio sitting and frying fish
Everything is ready, the rice is cooked and the fish has also been fried. Rio immediately brought the rice and fish to the living room which was only on a mat. The living room was simple but in the living room was happiness created, Rio looked at his two aging parents.
“If Rio is big, Rio will fight so you don't have to bother and eat potluck. Mothers can also heal and heal. Father also do not need to pull pedicab anymore, not overheating also rain” Rio said in his heart.
The little boy was matured by the circumstances, his age was usually cool playing but Rio had to spend his time selling. It does not sell if you are not feeling well, if it is only raining it will definitely keep selling.
If Rio's rainy season is going to be an umbrella boy, his income is decent. If the merchandise is quiet, he can get money from his umbrella motorcycle. The money was always given to his father, Rio put the money aside a little to put in his piggy bank.
The sun started to shine, it was time for Rio to go to school. Before going to school he wanted to go to the stall to pick up items for resale. Rio said goodbye to his mother, because his father had already left. Usually if the morning many people go to the market so Rio's father set out to get a lot of passengers rickshaw.
“Rio departs yes ma'am, all want to go to the shop take tissue and beans” say Rio
“Yes, you be careful yes, do not be too tired later hurt”
“Iya bu, Assalamualaikum”
“Waalaikumsalam”
Rio came out of his house and walked towards the stall.
“Assalamualaikum ma'am, I want to take tissue with peanuts”
“Waalaikumsalam Rio, it's over huh?” ask the shop owner
Yes ma'am thank God, and this is the money that yesterday” Rio handed over the money
“Oh yes, it's the kiss and it's the nuts” shows the place of tissue and nuts
Rio picked up some small tissue boxes and a large tissue, Rio also took some nuts, he put them in his basket and arranged.
“I said yes ma'am, Assalamualaikum”
“Already yes, yes be careful Rio waalaikumsalam”
Rio brought his basket, and walked towards the school. Neighbor Rio pity her a lot, he has to come to work to help his father. Though he was a child and had to go to school, many of his neighbors were pity, if there was more than fish or food given to Rio and his family. Neighbors there are good, there are only a few who are indifferent especially to the poor, because they are more able to feel arrogant.
Once at school Rio went straight into his class to wait for his teacher. The bell rang when it came in. As usual Rio learned by focusing and paying attention to his teacher when explaining.
The bell home already rang, Rio instantly tidied up his book and stuffed it into his bag. Rio went straight outside from the classroom, when he was about to walk out the fence someone called out to him.
“Iya sir what is it?” answered Rio
“Bapak want to buy his knife 1 ya”
“Iya sir, big or small?”
“The big one, at the table the father is finished, the same nut 2 ya”
“Iya sir, everything so 10 thousand pak” Rio give tissue and nuts
“This is the money, thank you Rio” said the teacher
“Iya sir equally”
Rio dropped out of school and walked towards the park, he had already promised Kayla to sell there. Kayla will help him of course Rio is happy, he has friends. After walking for almost 30 minutes from school to the park, Rio was selling while waiting for Kayla. Rio's been waiting for almost 2 hours but Kayla's not coming either.
“What Kayla forgot if I promised. Yes I've sold again” Rio selling around the park.
Today there were not many who bought the sale, but Rio remained grateful that there were those who bought even if only a few tissues and nuts.
When it was late afternoon Rio finished his sale, he was still thinking about Kayla, whether maybe she forgot or he just lied to say he wanted to help her but there was nothing in the park. Kayla is a rich man's child who might want to sell especially until the heat of sure parents will not allow, thought Rio.
“Assalamualaikum” Rio went inside his house
“Waalaikumsalam, already home nak”
“Iya bu”
“You've eaten?” ask his mother
“Not yet bu, today not much sold so did not have time to buy food” Rio replied
“Yes you have eaten first, it is there food in the neighbor's love earlier. He said make small snacks and there is leftovers so be given here from mubazir”
“Iya bu”
Rio picked up the wrapped food, Rio was enjoying the food very much as he rarely ate good with a complete side dish. Most fish are usually eaten salted fish or only with crackers, eggs alone must wait until the sale or his father a lot of passengers so there is more money to buy eggs.
The food Rio ate was exhausted, he went straight to his room to pick up a towel.
“Assalamualaikum”
“Waalaikumsalam, dad has eaten?”
“But bu”
“Daddy eat first after it's just a shower, there's food given by neighbors earlier”
“Rio has eaten ma'am?:
“Already well, dad just spend mom has also eaten kok”
Surya headed to the place to eat and finished all his food. If it is eaten tomorrow it is stale, so it is better to spend it now.
