Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 2
The days passed, it did not feel like a week had Miss Diana left the house. Zulfa was not sad as usual but, now he turned into a quiet and irritable figure.
However, when at home he will become a jolly and cheerful Zulfa. She did not want her brother to think too much about her because she was determined inwardly, she will prove to her mother that she can be an independent and successful woman even without a mother accompanying her.
"Sister, I go to school first" said Zulfa to Zahra who was making trades for the afternoon sale.
"Yes, be careful on the road! A diligent school, so that later what you dream can be realized," Zahra said.
"Yes, I'll give you my best."
After saying goodbye Zulfa rushed to school, he took a 20-minute trip to get to school because he was only on foot.
Arriving at school, Zulfa went straight into her class and put down the bag. While waiting for the lesson time to begin, he read a book that will be learned later.
While focusing on learning, suddenly came two students who often interfere with even bully Zulfa.
"Eh, the village has arrived. Sok very diligent anyway, free also loe learning will not be able to change fate," hina Rosa one of the students who really likes to bully anyone who thinks is a rival.
"Oh yes, the horrors of Loe's mother went away from home. Do you know where Loe's mom really is?" Then Rosa whispered something into Zulfa's ear.
"Loe's mother is now a p*lacur who likes to serve striped men."

Zulfa clenched both of his hands holding back the rumble in his chest. Because he could not hold back the anger in his heart, he also kicked the table in front of him.
Brakkkk
"Please insult me as much as you! But never once have you insulted my mother!" ketus Zulfa while pointing towards Rosa.
"Why, don't you accept? That's the fact that Loe's mother was a p*lacur." After saying that Rosa and her friend left Zulfa who was still emotional.
After he calmed down, Zulfa sat back on his stool. Her tears slowly dripped, thinking of all of Rosa's words just now.
"Did you leave because you worked as a p*lacur? I have to find out the truth, "inner Zulfa.

After school, Zulfa locked himself in a room. It makes Zahra surprised because his sister is not usually locked away.
He called Zulfa for lunch. "Sir, what are you doing? Don't eat first."
Zulfa who was looking at the book then turned to her brother, "Later Kak, still nanggung want to do the task to let the spit it out."
"And the task can be continued later, the important thing is to eat first Brother has made your favorite vegetable soup," said Zahra while stroking her sister's hair.
"I ate it first."
"Aren't you eating?" zulfa.
"Not yet, so Brother invite you to eat," replied Zahra.
Finally, they went to the kitchen to have lunch together. Although it is only a vegetable side dish and tempeh, it is already quite delicious for Zahra and Zulfa.
"Sister!" call Zulfa on the sidelines to help his brother prepare the merchandise.
"Yes, Deck. What's up?"
"Where do you really work?"
"If you say mom is TKW. Why mother?"
"It's okay just to know, how come there's no news in a week" Zulfa's alibi, he just wanted to make sure Rosa said this morning.
"Maybe mom is busy working, so don't tell me. Pray that you'll be all right so you can meet us again."
"Yes, Brother."
They continued their work with small talk. After an hour more struggling in the kitchen, now Zulfa is arranging fried food that will be sold.
"I'm coming with Brother, yes!" pinta Zulfa's.
"No, you're at home. The trade is also not too much, so let your own brother go around."
"Yes, that's it. I continued studying in my room."
"Yes, study hard! Brother leave first! Don't forget the door is locked!" zahra's Message.
"Yes, Brother. Careful, may the trade run out!"
"Aamiin's."
Zahra also went to sell fried food around the village. On foot while carrying a basket containing his merchandise.
Patiently and painstakingly, Zahra peddled fried foods from village to village.
"Neng Zahra, buy the fry," called a mother sitting on the porch.
"Yes, Mom." Zahra approached the mother and opened her trading basket.
"What do you want to eat, Mom?"
"What's up?"
"There's bananas, tempeh, tofu and bakwan."
"I want bananas and bakwan only 10 thousand," pinta mother.
"Good, Mom." Zahra also took the bananas and bakwan as requested by the mother.
"Here, Mom."
"Yes, here's the money." The mother handed him a piece of ten thousand.
"Thank you, Mom."
"Together, Neng. Hope the trade is selling."
"Aamiin, I'm sorry to go around again."
"Yes, please!"
Now Zahra returned to the next village, hoping that his trade would run out quickly.
It did not feel like three hours Zahra peddling fried foods, he could go home sooner because someone had bought the rest of his merchandise for a snack guard post kamling.
"Alhamdulillah, today can go home quickly," thanks Zahra. He immediately rushed home to make his sister's side dish.
On the way home, someone called Zahra. "Zahrah!"
"Mas Amir's. What's up, Mas?" ask Zahra.
"Not at home?"
"Every day I'm home, Mom. But if the afternoon is selling. What's up?"
"Mom and Dad want to see you. He said there was something to tell you" explained Amir.
Zahra frowned at being confused as to what Amir's parents wanted to say. "Oh yeah, if I go there in the afternoon is okay, right? You wait for Zulfa to go home to school first."
"Yes, it's okay. I'll tell you father and mother. I'll go home first."
"Yes, Mum."
After Amir left, Zahra resumed her journey home.
"Assalamualaikum, Deck open the door!" zahra said when he was in front of the house.
"Waalaikumsalam, little sister!"
Chequelek
The door was opened, Zulfa kissed her brother's hand and took over the basket.
"Tumben's home, brother?"
"Yes, alhamdulillah there are still 50 thousand fried leftovers in the same village next door. So, you can go home spit," replied Zahra when she entered the house.
"Alhamdulillah," thanks Zulfa.
"Drink the tea, brother!" Zulfa offered a glass of warm tea to her brother.
"Thank you, Deck." Zahra immediately drank the tea made by her sister to quench her thirst after walking away.
"Oh, yes Dek. The day after Sister wants to go to Mas Amir's house, what do you want to do at home?"
"Why not go there?"
"So right on the road Brother met Mas Amir, he said his father and mother want to say something to Brother."
"I'm home, brother. Afraid to bother later."
"No, so what?"
"As for Brother, if you can come with me then come."
"Ok if so, after you go to school we go there."
