Dreams of a Poor Girl
Chapter 8
After returning home from school, Bryan sat pensively on the balcony of his room. He was still thinking about the cause of Zulfa not wanting to meet him.
"What exactly is Zulfa hiding? Does this have anything to do with Rosa?" bryan muttered.
"Bry, aren't you eating? asked Papa Bryan who had just entered the room.
"Later on, Pah. I'm not hungry yet" Bryan replied as he looked at his papa.
"You why? I don't usually go home from school and hang in my room."
"It's okay, Pah. Bryan wants to relax."
"Bah!" call Bryan.
"What's wrong?"
"How do you know Zulfa, right?" ask Bryan.
"Zulfa's? Which one, Bry?"
"That's a lot, Pah. His father used to work in Papa's garden."
"Oh, Mr. Darto's son, why? Not that she went to school with you."
"Yes, Pah. Just a different class. What do you think he's his son?"
"If you know Papa anyway, he's a good, friendly, not neko-neko like most children his age."
"Do you like him?" papa Bryan.
"Yes, Pah. If Papa's permission, I'm serious about Zulfa."
"Papa won't forbid you to get in touch with anyone, as long as she's a good girl and knows her manners, please! But for now Papa wants you to focus first on learning, so that what you aspire to can be realized."
"Yes, Pah. Bryan will learn well. Thank you for allowing Bryan to choose Bryan's own choice."
"Either. I hope you can be a responsible child in any case."
"Yes, Pah."
Bryan hugged his papa, he felt like he got a fresh breeze because his papa did not curb what would be his choice later.

After the incident in the school hallway, Zulfa more often daydream. Even when he was walking home, he did not heed the greetings from people who passed him.
"Fa, why are you daydreaming?" asked Ria who made Zulfa instantly surprised.
"Eh you, Ri. I'm not dreaming" elak Zulfa.
"That's you think. From the moment I observed you continue, you are greeted by people who are not horrified," explained Ria.
"Whose eggs? No one's feeling just now."
"Yes, it doesn't exist. Your people just daydream, there have been 5 people greeting you, but you are like a sambet," grumbled Ria.
"Hehe, the hell time?"
"Tau ah's. Mending the hunt home, do not daydream while walking. You kidnapped genderuwo just knew the taste."
"Where is genderuwo day-day gini?" argue Zulfa.
"Zulfa Nabila her son Miss Diana, sister Zahra Dengerin yes. Precisely the devil likes the same people who often daydream, do not look at day or night. Hear it!" clearly Ria with a scuffled expression.
"Member Ustadzah Ria similikiti."
"Basar kampret, it's good to play change people's names!" ria protested while shaking Zulfa's shoulder, while Zulfa laughed at his friend.
"I'm first, Ri. Be careful on the road! Fear you will be invited to hang out with Mbak Kunti," said Zulfa accompanied by a plunge.
"Son, there's Kunti's sister afraid to see me."
"That means your face is more serem than they are."
"Basic, Zulfa ngeselin. Go home from the rising blood because of you," grumbled Ria and passed from before Zulfa.
After Ria left, Zulfa entered the house not forgetting she said hello.
"Assalamualaikum, Brother."
"Waalaikumsalam, no more lessons huh?"
"No, Brother. So I went home, but borrowed a book from the library. Make additional learning later."
"Yes, the game change clothes keep eating!"
"Yes, Brother. I'll go to the room first."
Zulfa stepped foot into the room, after in the room he immediately removed all his school attributes.
"Mandi ajalah let seger," said Zulfa then took a change of clothes and rushed to the bathroom next to the kitchen.
After 15 minutes in the bathroom, Zulfa came out with his head wrapped in a towel because after shampooing.
"Tumben, are you taking a shower at this hour?" asked Zahra who saw her sister just coming out of the bathroom to the kitchen.
"Yes, Brother. It's so hot. Maybe because it has entered the dry season so the weather is very hot," replied Zulfa and took a meal at the kitchen table.
"Daddy, wait!"
"What Brother?"
Zahra approached her sister with a probing look, while Zulfa who her brother looked at like that became misbehaved. Because it's not usually her brother staring like that.
"Why is your lips so red?" ask Zahra.

Zulfa's heart seemed to stop beating, he was confused as to what to answer. She also did not expect that her brother could be that thorough.
"Eh, this was right to go home I bought a bad snack, brother. Perhaps it was because of the piquancy that it became gini red," Zulfa's alibi with an expression as calm as possible.
"Right, just finished eating the pedes? You're not a macem."
"No, Brother. It's because of eating the pedes."
"Ok, be careful if you dare to macem-macem behind Brother!" threaten Zahra then he leaves Zulfa who still neutralizes his feelings.
"Huh, thankfully my sister immediately believed. I'm sorry, brother, I had to lie to you, brother," Zulfa's inner voice stroked his chest.
Zulfa continued to take food, then he ate in the chair that was near the table.
Although only a simple meal, but Zulfa was very happy. For him, the important thing is that eating every day is enough.
Because there are many people out there who have to work hard to get a bite of rice. Some people don't even eat for days.
"Fa, later please anterin order Bu Novi ya!" pinta Zahra as Zulfa washes the dishes of her former meal.
"Which Bu Novi, Brother?"
"That's a loh whose house is near Mr. Deni's house, Bryan's father temen you."
For a moment Zulfa was silent, wanting him to refuse but he could not bear to see his brother who had been tired in the kitchen since morning.
"Yes, Brother." With a heavy heart Zulfa responded to her brother's request, in his heart he wished he hadn't met Bryan.
