Dreams of Old Bums

Episode 23

When Dipa, about to go home finished making props, which he usually did in a certain room behind the pesantaren. Suddenly Dipa saw three teenagers talking, they were sitting at a patrol post. Then Dipa approached.

“What are you doing here” Tanya Dipa

“While talking about our national football team that always loses!” The teenagers exclaimed.

“Hm you guys are proud, with our national team defeat?” Dipa asked while looking at their faces.

“Ya certainly not, boro-boro proud, which is obviously our, otherwise feel disappointed.” Children's lawful

“Why disappointed, you guys do not get anything even though our team won, and also did not lose anything even though our team lost.” Denying Dipa.

“That's not the case, Kang Dipa! That's our nation's national team of the time we don't support it.”

“What you mean by you support that supports how, do we or you have to be present, if they compete, also do we have to shout when they compete? Or do we have to cry when they lose a match? Must so? Or how do you support you? If what is meant by supporting you is so, then your support is in vain will not change the situation, forever our national team will lose. Because your support is fake support.” Dipa.

“Lho fake how Kang Dipa?” Ask the kids don't understand what Dipa means.

“False because you have no love for the national team” Firmly Dipa.

“Ah kang Dipa this how, we did not understand” Said children protest.

“Begini, the national team is a team drawn from the best players from every club in our entire country. Well once again the national team is formed from the players of choice from the best clubs in our country. Continues when the best club was competed with overseas clubs, suddenly lost only. Well can this team be said to be the best team?” Papar Dipa tried to convince their stance, and tried to fix his mindset. “Understanding no?”

“Oh so, so should how?” Ask the kids, with curious faces.

“Actually you are still too innocent to talk about methods, but this is all you want to not know.” Dipa Clear.

“Well how to?” Ask the kids like they are curious.

“You really love the national team?” Dipa asked, smiling, funny and pitying too, these kids, they miss his beloved team wanting to always win.

“Yes Yes.” Tukas son of child.

“You, you must give an example first, to be a good human resource, you do not need to be a soccer player only, you must be a soccer player, but so anything as long as it matches the talents and interests you have.” Dipa Assertive.

“How to?” Urge children.

“Later Kang Dipa explained, now just so long ago our chat, later we connect again.” Dipa Assertive. “Now Kang Dipa has a need first."

The teenagers were silent, but their faces showed curious expressions. But they can't do anything. And then Dipa immediately left the teenage children.

Just a few steps from that place, Dipa suddenly saw a body figure that was pitching towards her. Of course Dipa suddenly something was stirring in her heart. She is Herna.

Then Dipa preceded to say hello after Herna was already in front of him.

“Where are you going? Isn't it time to teach?” Ask Dipa

“Eh wants to meet Kang Dipa!” Sahut Herna, samabil staring. “There's something you want to talk about” Add Herna”

“Ohh yeah okay, where?” Welcome Dipa.

“At Herna's house only!” Sahut Herna's.

“Begini, yesterday the time Herna there need to be the same friend, happened to herna passing in front of the house of Pak lurah, suddenly Herna was called by Pak lurah. At home, there are some students who will hold a Real Work Lecture or KKN. In the program, will hold a social approach, taking a close look at the activities of the villagers of Rawa Mutu.” Herna Papar

“Lantas what does it have to do Pak Lurah calling Dik Herna” Tanya Dipa.

“Said that in the next five days the students will hold a meeting with young people and young people of Rawa Mutu Village.” Answer Herna “Ya Kang Dipa need to know.”

He thought for a moment, in his heart. Many things or cases in life, relating to Education, have not been solved, yet, because somehow until now according to Dipa the existence of Education and alumni does not show a dynamic graph increase in accordance with ideally someone who takes education at least shows a different appearance from people who do not take Education. While it looks, Education graduates from all levels, just like that, although as time goes on, the consequences of educational existence are monotonous. Far from the initial expectations.

“Yuk Kang Dipa, on the terrace we just continue chatting” Herna said after the two arrived in front of her house.

“Good!” Sahut Dipa as he entered the terrace room of Herna's house, around which there is a bamboo chair seat.

Herna House is a simple country house, but if you consider in detail, although the shape is simple, but the appearance of the materials used is quite expensive, the materials of the house

using materials from teak wood. While the size of the house was quite large, so imagine that in urban costs for a house that big, with teak wood material, imagine How expensive. Herna House shape is a stage house with a short staircase booth. Plus the terrace plate is wide enough, making every guest to his house bring a beautiful impression.

Suddenly the sound of greetings was heard which was accompanied by the emergence of Mr. Danu his father Herna. And then Dipa answered.

“A long time Dip?’ Ask Mr. Danu while extending a hand to invite shaman.

“Newly” Dipa said

“Eh wait a minute yes, father again kepalang do that order, nothing the same right, there is Herna who soon also Herna finished boiling water.” Tukas Pak Danu and then left Dipa.

Not long after that Herna came while carrying a tray or tray containing two glasses and a plate containing fried glutinous with peanut sauce.

“No need to bother dik” Pinta Dipa.

“Ah no, trouble what?” Tukas Herna, while moving the glasses, and the plate containing the food, as well as the small plate containing the sauce.

Then Herna went inside again, to keep the tray or tray, and no sooner had returned.

“Let's taste the food, don't look at it!” Herna said, sitting at the table opposite Dipa.

“Sure, this is my favorite food, time left.” Dipa said with a smile.

“Yah soh while!” Said Herna, he immediately grabbed a glass of water, then he drank it.

"How did it go, that story?” Ask Dipa

“Iya how do we?” Herna asked while looking at Dipa's face.

“We just follow first and we pay attention to the next development.” Dipa said looking back at Herna's face. “Does Mr Suganda Know?”

“It seems that now they will meet Mr. Suganda.” Tukas Herna's.

Dipa and Herna then chatted about the KKN student's plan when related to the relationship, with the program that has been running at the Generation of Nations Foundation. Everything is discussed, everything is discussed by both with the Limits or principles that have been owned by both. They respond to the existence and role of the student, from their own point of view. It seems that the views of both are greatly influenced by the insights and principles that always affect the mindset of both. So it can be ascertained Gradually Dipa and Herna mindset, from the days will be more steady, because both educated by Kang Suganda and Pak Dasim, continuously. Finally their conversation came to a halt when the time to teach Herna had come. Herna taught the children to teach, his time from ba’da ashar until before the magrib, was on the madrasah from the morning of seven to ten o'clock in the afternoon. The two soon rose up, and Herna prepared to go to teach, while Dipa hurried to go home.

Arriving at home, Dipa intends to process food for later. Dipa immediately went to the back with the intention of taking fish. And after that he took care of it. Then he cooked rice to add rice this morning. And when Dasim and Dipa finished the magrib prayer, they both ate. While eating, the two talked. The beginning talks about the arrival of the students with all his plans. Mr. Dasim's response about that, mediocre like nothing serious, even the attention of Mr. Dasim was focused on the existence of Dipa and Herna. Mr. Dasim gave

the response about Herna, she said Herna is the girl of hope for the future. Mr. Dasim said again, It is difficult to find a girl who is comparable to him. Told about Herna himself thus, Mr. Dasim deliberately he wanted to know, Dipa's reaction and how he responded to it..
