FATIMAH (Pearl In Mud) .

THOSE WHO STILL CARE

Entering the school gate with a smile filling his face. It was always so every morning, that smile never faded from Fatimah's face. Walk in the school hallway, enter the classroom.

Fatimah walks every day. The distance from her school house is a 15-minute walk, sometimes she will meet her friend who rides a motorcycle when she happens to cross paths with him on the road.

But today no one is passing by, not that they are not offering. Because fatimah is the departure of bad luck.

“Why just arrived. I waited at the crossroad. I thought you didn't go to school today.yeah I went alone” Ida, Fatimah's best friend. He'll do that every day. Ida is not possible to pick up fatimah at her house, if the mother knows, she got angry. “don't pick her up, wait at the crossroads just”.

Not without reason. Fatimah home location is indeed the condition can not be passed by a motorcycle. Is located behind the houses of the people.

“it's okay. Look, I've arrived safely, healthy and whole again” Fatimah's answer got a laugh from her best friend.

“it is ready for the final exam, later we will study together. I have a grid book on exams. Purchased the father yesterday” said Ida enthusiast. He understands the condition of Fatimah, let alone buy a book, to fill the stomach he must rotate the brain. But it never lessened his affection for his best friend.

Ida knows, fatimah good people, even very good.of course not everyone will assume it so.

For some people, good measure is when we give a lot in the form of material. For Ida, kindness was many forms, when Ida was bullied by her boyfriend, Fatimah was the first to confront them. Dashingly challenging the bully man shouted to fight him first.

Proud Ida has friends as good as fatimah.

“I'm looking for you, I guess not school” a man wearing the same uniform as Fatimah, approached with a hunting breath.

“eh, mid you why are so bored, chased by Ghosts?” ask Fatimah

“I ran from my class here to find you” said hamid. He doesn't have much time. Soon the bell will ring.

“ada apa” asked Fatimah again, Ida can only watch their interaction. With mouth locked.

“tomorrow night father and mother there is a salutation at home, one year my grandmother. You were told to help mom. would you not?” ask Hamid.

Not new, all neighbors often use Fatimah Services to help them when there is a celebration. Just as a dishwasher or help cooking in the kitchen.

“really, what time is it?” ask Fatimah enthusiastically. The happy sparkle was clearly emanated for him it was a blessing. Besides being able to eat well, fatimah will also get wages. The face of the grandmother who was happy by eating delicious food.

“it's seven o'clock at night, said your mother came in the afternoon, help in the kitchen” explanation hamid get a smile that expands from fatimah. The man smiled happily.

“i am happy” ida hugged Fatimah. For Ida, Fatimah's happiness was her happiness as well.

“duh, babu really can job” sound from the door attract the attention of the three.

They looked at the coming of the voice. Their faces are pointed. Everyone knows that women who wear white clothes with ash skirts above the knees are too sexy for high schoolers in their village.

“If you have a mouth on guard, however Fatimah your cousin”ucap Ida with a firm tone, he did that to defend the friend.

Fatimah and Adelia are cousins, but the arrogant girl seems reluctant to admit Fatimah.

“As for your problem, I am happy to get a job. Sensi is human. Or maybe you are PMS?” he said with a cynical smile mocking Fatimah's best friend.

“but don't tell babu, keep your mouth?” ida's anger is mounting. He knew Fatimah would never be able to fight lia, his own cousin, because later he knew the consequences. Lia will complain all to bude marni, her mother. Next, you can guess what happened.

“so great excitement” said Adelia again.

“Hamid,, why belain them anyway, I'll come find you. We eat dikantin ya, I'm hungry” spoiled voice was addressed lia to Hamid.

Men who he admired all this time, various ways were done in order to approach the tall handsome man.

“eat yourself, your hands and feet are still complete kan”and unfortunately the young man was never interested.

Adelia's high heart makes hamid hate the girl who polishes his face with thick powder. The man always avoided. That woman was always after him.

“awas you Fatimah I whip you together mother” he said to pass

“do it if you want your mother to be dragged around the village because of a debt to my father that has accumulated” Hamid said managed to stop the girl's steps.

“salam same your mother is sought after mr. Wartono” continued Hamid again. instantly the face paled. He passed by in haste.

Fatimah gawked at Hamid's words, she did not want to believe his hearing. But this is Hamid saying, this man before him never speaks without evidence.

“How much debt bude Marni” asked Fatimah curiously, The face was staring intently at Hamid

“you don't know yet?” Hamid was confused, how Fatimah did not know that women who like to show off.

It owes so much, not just the same father. Everyone knows that Bude Marni owes Mr. Malik a debt.

Fatimah moved her head left and right with a confused face, indeed she never knew the bude owed Hamid's parents anything.

“already, do not think all residents already know, maybe your grandmother has also heard. Not only the same father, the same Mr. Malik also” was widened the face of Fatimah. Now he knows the reason the bude forced him to marry the old man who still had the wife.

Fatimah was angry, her hatred with her mother's sister was piling up.

He may be the one who was asked to marry Mr. Malik. Why not Adelia, her own child.she now knows that her match with the rich man in her village was only to make up for the greedy woman's debt. Fatimah did not want that to happen, if until the woman came again to force her to marry the old man, she would expose her disgrace in front of the grandmother.

“Fatimah don't forget well, come afternoon, otherwise my mother could be angry. He thinks I haven't delivered it to you” Hamid's voice resuscitates lia from daydreaming.

“for sure, don't worry. I must have come” he replied with a smile.

“aku class first, until meet tomorrow” said the handsome man. out of class with a smile embedded in his face. A happy smile, which Fatimah would never see.

For some people, fatimah is an ugly woman with dark skin and acne that grows disgusting on her face. For Hamid Fatimah was the perfect and beautiful female form he had ever known. Flickering eyelashes, sensual lips and charming smiles make Hamid secretly admire Fatimah. She could only keep it, fatimah was not a woman who believed in men who liked her. He knows himself well enough about his condition.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, all the students left the classroom ready to go home. Some are on foot, some are headed for the motorcycle parking lot. Fatimah tailed behind Ida to the parking lot, she would go home with a ride on her best friend. Fatimah walked by covering her head with a school bag, the hot sun fit over her head makes her heat like to boil her brain.

“later in the afternoon so want to learn the grid about school exams?” ask Ida on a motorbike that runs slowly.

“but I have to feed the ducks, pity grandma if no one helps put kekandang” replied Fatimah weakly. It's not that he doesn't want to just be impossible.

“ida only who goes to the house of fatimah, we can learn in the saung while watching the duck kamu” ida gave an idea, her voice half-screaming. His voice was blown by the wind too fiercely. Ida was worried Fatimah didn't hear it.

“can,,, later I prepare iced tea with fried bananas” replied Fatimah girang. He could learn without leaving his responsibilities.
