April went home on an ojek. He came home about nine o'clock as usual. "Assalamualaikum, ma'am," April knocked on the door and her father opened the door.
April barged in. "Dolent boy, why don't you kiss dad's hand?" snapped at the father.
"Father's hands stink of alcohol" replied April.
"Basar brazen child. It's a good thing you're staying here with us otherwise you'll be stranded on the streets."
"What do you mean, dad?"
"You're just a collect boy. Your mother found you under a banana tree crying alone" she said. April's eyes glazed over when she heard her father's words.
"April don't listen to him" exclaimed the mother. April went into the room. April did not know whether her father's words were true or not.
"Basar drunken. It was as if making up a story, "April growled. He tries to think positively. There was no way that the mother who gave birth to him was his foster mother.
"Consciously, this Pril is not a novel story that you often read," April muttered as she stared at the ceiling of her room full of spider webs.
"Next time I will clean the tile," he said later. After that, April closed her eyes. He was tired after working all day.
The next day April woke up refreshed. She takes a bath and invites Azriel to go to school with her. "Today, my sister looks so happy."
"Yes, thank God the scholarship application is less able to be accepted so you can save the salary for our living expenses" he replied.
"Alhamdulillah, why don't I get a scholarship less able as well huh? Ah I will ask my homeroom teacher later" murmured Azriel.
Elsewhere, Doctor David visits Doctor Erik who is his best friend in the hospital. Doctor Erik was looking at a picture of his pregnant wife at the time.
"Ehem." Doctor David gives the code for Doctor Erik to be aware of his whereabouts.
"Who is he?" ask David. Because he knew it wasn't his wife's face.
"He's my second wife" replied Erik.
"What's? You never told me this whole time?" david protested that he felt betrayed by his best friend.
"She died shortly after giving birth to our child" Erik replied with a sad face.
"Then what about your children?" ask David.
"My first wife threw away the child my second wife had born. He didn't accept the child because he was the child of my affair with another woman."
David did not expect his best friend to have an unexpected story. "I pray that your son will be found soon. How old is your child?" ask David.
"Nearly sixteen years. I should be able to celebrate his birthday in a month."
David patted his friend's shoulder. "Pray continually God must love the way if you do not despair. Pray also for your child so that he is always given happiness wherever he is" David said.
At school Nesya's first break came in April. "Gue bought a new bike for Lo, the key is in the parking lot."
April was about to grab the key but Nesya put her hand away. "Sway from Dafi!"
April smiled obliquely. "If you dare to tell yourself the same person. Does he want to stay away from me?" challenge April.
Nesya threw the key right in the gutter. "Ups, sorry. Take the key," ledek Nesya.
However, someone first took the key from the gutter. "You want a sincere thanks" Aksa said. Nesya ignored Aksa she chose to pass instead of quarreling with him.
"Diva you got wet wipes?" ask April.
"Sister, put this on." Aksa grabbed the wet wipes April gave.
"This is your new bike key. From tomorrow you can save money on transportation to school" he said with a smile towards April. April returned Aksa's smile.
All of April's friends became unnerved when they saw Aksa smiling. "The ice has melted" said one of the students.
"I can't see Dafi's smile."
"Geez only April can make Dafi smile."
Various comments April friends when they saw the two human children who were staring at each other.
After school, April picks up her bike. However, at the same time he ran into Fabian. "Sister," called April when Fabian was about to dodge.
"I'm sorry, because I've humiliated you in front of the other kids. Can't we be friends like we used to be? I don't have many friends. One of the people who cares about me. I'd be sad to lose a friend like you."
Fabian sneered. "We should keep our distance. My heart has not been able to connect after you break it," he said.
April is saddened that Fabian has rejected her good intentions. April rides her new bike to work. Although he was far away he remained excited.
"I'm sorry, I'm late" said April when she arrived.
"You got Pril's bike?" ask Sofia.
"Yes, Mom. A gift from my garden," he said.
"Good good friend. Have you thanked him?" ask Sofia.
"Not yet, but the bike was given to replace my old bike that he broke. Thank you for reminding me tomorrow I will meet him and say thank you" said April.
Sofia loves April's spirit in her daily life. After work hours are over April meets Sofia. "This is your salary for the first month. Hope you use it well." Sofia gave me a brown envelope in April.
April's hand trembled receiving the money which was the result of her hard work all along. "Thank you very much, ma'am." Sofia nodded.
"Don't waste it Pril. If you can set up an account so you can keep your money in the bank."
"But I'm not seventeen yet, ma'am."
"Try later I asked the bank whether the age of seventeen years can make a bank account or not. If you keep it at home I'm afraid someone's stealing it."
"That's right, Mom. My father's hand itches like a caterpillar if he doesn't hold money" April said.
"I'm going home, Mom. It's night." It's night."
"Eh, I'm taking ya." Sofia offers a ride. April did not dare to refuse. They also boarded in one car.
"Oh yes, Pril. You don't want to play at my house sometime. Lovely nanyain you keep tuh. I forbid him to go to the store so he doesn't get tired."
"Good, Mom. Later if my work holiday will play to mother's place," replied April.
Soon Sofia's car stops in front of an alley to April's house. "Thank you so much for today, Mom. I'm lucky to have a boss like the kind-hearted Ms. Sofia" said April.
"Don't exaggerate. It's appropriate that we help each other."
April drops her bike off Sofia's car. It just so happened that Nesya bought a folding bike for April so it was strong in the trunk of the car.
