Dreams for Real

Mita gave the beans she held to Rio.

"Here, let's eat” said Mita

"Why are you given to Rio brother? I bought it for my sister" asked Rio

"You eat so that you have a friend, not good to eat alone so that your mouth sports too" said Mita interspersed with laughter

Rio took the beans Mita gave him and went along to eat them.

"So you know, you also rarely eat these nuts" he said

"Yes sister, Rio not only rarely but never eat unless the beans have long been unsalted so forced to eat afraid of being bad if sold again, later even no one wants to buy again” said Rio

"Have you tested? How'd it go?" Ask Mita

"Kok brother knows, but Rio has not told and said anything, lest the sister fortune teller yes"

"Yes because sister also has a sister your age so you know, if brother fortune teller, brother will predict you” said Mita joking

"Oh yes, so brother has a sister, sister knows, I have exams and thank God passed brother and got the best score"

"Good dong your father must be proud of you, let alone you get the best value, surely you are smart ya can get the best value”

"I haven't told my dad yet, so I want to hurry home to tell my dad I'd be happy if I got a scholarship"

"Scholarship?"

"Yes, in the school that got the best grades must have got a scholarship so you don't have to think about my tuition and you don't have to work too hard because of school fees, either, Rio could not bear to see father coming home and tired" Rio said smiling "Sister, Rio has to go home, is it okay right?"

"It's okay dong, brother also wants to go home, yes already drugs"

"Be careful, brother"

Mita raised her thumb, Rio came home feeling happy because his father must be happy to hear all this. Do’nya granted, although Kevin had mocked him but Rio never put in the heart, for him to get a scholarship is not because of pity but all that has sustenance and luck, as well as effort.

It is true that effort without do’a vain and arrogant, while do’a without effort is lazy. If Rio does not try to study during the exam then he will not get the best score, he also berTO’a so that Allah eases the test. Destiny is indeed God who determines but destiny can be changed with effort and do’a.

Rio has arrived at his house.

"It seems like father has not come home" said Rio who entered his house to put down his basket and take a bath to relieve a little tired so that his body returned fresh.

"Assalamualaikum" Surya entered his house

"Rio" call Surya

"Yes well waalaikumsalam" replied Rio who just came out of the bathroom

"Sorry well Rio did not hear just finished bathing, dad has gone home ya”

"It's okay"

"There is something Rio wants to say well, we sit first" Rio said

"What's up, son?"

"Yes son, let's tell you how it went?" Surya asked who seemed impatient to listen

"Dad don't be mad at ya" Rio lowered his head

"Why should father be angry, if Rio is naughty and steals new father will be angry, let's convey the results whatever the results of the father will not be angry and father will not be disappointed because I know Rio must have tried as much as possible, so I will accept whatever the results" said Surya

"Rio, Rio passed well" Rio said excitedly

"Well, congratulations, my son graduated" said Surya who was also happy to hear it

"But" Rio stopped his words

"But why?" Ask Surya

"But Rio got a scholarship" said Rio who showed the uniform and also a letter indicating he got a scholarship

"You're good at acting, I think you're why, so you got that scholarship, congratulations, I'm proud of you, your efforts are paying off" said Surya stroking Rio's hair unconsciously Surya shed her tears

"Dad why cry? What because Rio acting earlier, sorry well Rio did not mean to make dad sad” said Rio worried because his father was crying and would scold Rio

"Dad is not sad because of that, I was moved to hear you get the scholarship" said Surya

"Dad be happy that Rio won the scholarship?" Ask Rio

"It's definitely happy dad is happy you got a scholarship, so you have to be diligent in learning yes, if there is still mom, I will be happy and proud to be you” said Surya considering Ningsih

"Yes well, surely Rio will be the spirit of learning, and more active in learning"

“Where are you at school?” ask Surya

“In Eternal Junior High well, pretty close so Rio can walk away, it only takes half an hour or less” said Rio

“Nik angkot only, later you are tired, it is quite close but if your walk will be too tired, it is further away from your elementary school

“No well, Rio is used to walking so don't worry dad” Rio said

“But if you are tired of riding angkot yes, if you do not have money to ask for father, will father his duty to support you, so do not let you get tired later and then sick”

“Iya for sure, Rio will remember the message father” Rio smiled at his father

"Dad cook first, you just rest"

"Rio help ya"

"Yes come on"

Rio and Surya went to the kitchen and they cooked. Enjoying time with the most precious person in life is the most fun thing, especially he is always near us. As Rio felt, even though he could not play with his friends, he never felt lonely, enough when he was resting at school he could play, he could play, in the park he can play while selling if there are friends or people who invite him, like when there was Kayla who helped him, but now must return to the beginning before Rio met Kayla.

Rio was sure that if one day he could meet Kayla, he would thank her for giving me a gift, whether that was when Rio would have wished he could meet her. Rio was happy to have a friend like Kayla who always shared, if other people think that Rio is friends with Kayla just because he is rich, all that is not true. Although Kayla was rich, Rio never asked Kayla for money. Indeed, Rio's age is only a dozen years, but he can determine which is good and not for him, let alone to the detriment of others.

Because Rio had gotten the uniform he did not need to buy anymore, just buy books for lessons, because he already had no remains of written books. Rio intends to buy the book with the proceeds of the sale, the money given by Mita, he does not need to ask his father. Even if later had to ask his father, only school needs such as package books and so on. Luckily the distance from home to school was not too far away, so he could walk.
