Grasping the Only Temporary (Revised)

#102

Three weeks just passed. Kian is getting used to his new life, which is where in the morning he has to go to school while day until night he has to work, without parents. Now he understands that such a life is not easy. It was only fitting that his father was very angry when he did not comply with his request. And speak with a scathing talk that night. Yes, he knew it was a painful sentence but it was all true. True exists.

In addition, he must be able to be cleverly divide the time, especially soon he must face the national exam to determine whether he graduated from school. He had to study extra, even some days he had to stay up late for the sake of learning. Wh-wh-what for? To be able to get good test scores and get college scholarships.

He knew he wouldn't be able to afford his college. Don't be that, the cost for repayment of debt has not been able to collect. Especially with college money? College at his own expense was very expensive for him. He can only look forward to a scholarship. Can only smile wryly, well that's the way it is now.

"Ki, why is it still outside hm? It was malem, cold. What daydream? Can't you still think about the problem a few days ago? uhhhaha..." Joking someone behind a wall that is only as high as the chest, which is the barrier between two rented doors.

He looked over and just laughed. Noah, he was not finished with Devan who arrived like that. It turns out that even though he has a cold nature he is also easy to deceive. Just because Nari's nonspecific talk made her already confused in that thought and almost frustrated by it.

"Kak Nari anyway. Devan is so scared, brother. Haha..."

"Ki's abbot, I was so tight fitting he came out without a shirt at that time. You know, it's until the next boarding boy so screamed hysterically." He said as he walked closer to Kian, sitting next to Kian in the long chair.

"Oh yeah? Any timing? Fortunately, they did not think of the macem. Afraid of Kian kak if samo attacked by fans Devan. Haha..."

"Yes, I can't believe you. Lagian bu Eti also already said, if only Devan in the contract. So, you won't get in trouble, just calm down. But if you think Devan thought funny yes, until you go there." Laughs again, like very happy after pranking Devan that day.

Kian could only laugh crisply, which in the next second the face turned moody again. Making Nari who was laughing become silent and pay attention.

"Ki, if there's a story problem. Not in the damsels themselves doang."

"Hm.. More dizzy, brother. I have not paid my last month to school. You may not be allowed to take the test later. That's why I graduated."

"Well, you have to pay Ki? Kirain's brother lo public school."

"Sister. Kian he used to want to go to public school, just dad does not love. So it was sent to school at that private school."

"Ohh, if not wrong, said the people who went to school there on average from the elite? Is she?"

"Not really, brother. The important thing is to be able to pay the money. Kian is not from an elite environment, just ordinary, but thank God always can money sppnya."

"Keep why you can contract here Ki? Though... Like your parents love you so much?"

It's quiet for a moment. There was no answer even looking at Nari just no, making Nari feel bad for asking like that.

"It's okay not to answer." Buru Nari, afraid Kian will be more offended

"Actually Kian wants to be fooled sister." Kian's voice sounded so resigned and limp

"Ha?? The real dong Ki. This is the modern era, not the era of Siti Nurbaya pake matchmaking all." Nari who heard him almost laughed because of that. But not with Kian, Even considering that his eyes felt sore.

"Beneer sis. Kian also not allowed the same father to continue school. Because I don't want to get out of the house. On condition that I have to pay off the cost of living that my father has been responsible for." Smile wryly with tears already flowing.

Nari who realized it immediately grabbed onto that shoulder, making Kian lean on her shoulder, rubbing that shoulder so that Kian calmer. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to ngetawain lo. I'm sure you'll be strong. Be patient, you are not alone here. It's me and Devan. But I did not think that your parents could do it, until you can not go to college. Does Devan know?"

"Not brother. Don't tell Devan, brother. I don't even want to go home with him."

"Loh?? Yeah, it's okay. I will keep this secret. But I'm sorry I can't help you with Ki's financial problems. You know I'm a regional boy, who has to work while in college. But maybe I can give you an idea. How if you sell your cooking at that time. You know now the more unique the more curious people. Who knows if we could sell out." His proposal with great enthusiasm

"Kian afraid not good, brother. Sales need capital."

"Enak. Yes too. Why don't you pinjem ama Devan Ki?"

"No, brother. Later increase the debt. This is also a lot of debt. Maybe we can try that idea if Kian already got a salary this month brother, which is still there another week just dapet. But Kian is also confused where to sell?"

"Lo calm down. I will be promoting it at my college. I have a lot of Ki too. I will help you promote it, I have a lot of IG followers. I can replay them later."

Getting up from Nari's embrace, looking at Nari's face with a sparkle, "Your sister?" Sumringah Kian's

"Yes. Just calm down." He said while patting Kian's shoulder

"Thank you, brother. So it feels like having a sister. Kian became jealous of others who have an older sister, must be good as well as kayak kak Nari." Smile expands, but with glazed eyes.

"Haha.. Usual times Ki. Don't have sodara?" Her question was a little in disbelief, but Kian only shook his head miserably.

"Em, you can think of me as Lo Ki's brother, if you want. I guess Devan is no less good than you." Kian smiled happily to hear it, which was certainly what Kian would do to consider her sister Nari.

But a second later the smile returned to its starting point. "Devan is good, brother. Sometimes they also bumble. Especially if the pain is crumpled, it's like a refrigerator on the road. Fuckin' cold. But Kian is grateful, Kian in deketin same good people like you. Don't stay there..."

Nari nodded, "Well, I want to leave Ki. I want to stay with me who was a kid in the village. Hix... Hicks..."

The night closes with Nari and Kian embracing each other, like sodara. For a moment Kian closed his eyes, grateful that God was so fair in his life. When trouble comes even until someone hates it, he is close to good people. Zanna used to be the place to lean on, and now when it happened again there was Nari, and the others, especially Devan who was always beside her.

Today, Kian left alone for school. Which is the result of his stubbornness towards Devan. Bus charge? A few weeks of work, the cafe was so crowded and he always brought home tips from cafe consumers.

Because he can take care of babies or children when their parents are busy eating food. Kian can also persuade and nurture a crying baby, that is the advantage. To make consumers comfortable, that's when the money will clear everything.

Not that he wants to be arrogant, just that he does not want to have to always trouble Devan to always pick up and pay for all his needs. Until he decided to go alone with the money he had. However, paying for school is not enough. Most can only buy daily necessities and other small things.

Once at school, he saw that there were already many people gathered in front of the notice board. Whether there is news or big news that makes students so swarm the board.

Kian walk casually in that direction, he was also kepo with the contents of the announcement. Bee-like voices were heard from the crowd, like talking about someone. Kian get rid of one by one the people in front of breaking through the fortress that seems difficult to penetrate.

"Loh Kian."

"People on why the hell, a real storm?" Continue Kian

"Lo don't know? See whose name is clearly displayed on the order of twenty-five." Be firm while pointing at that name column

"Huh? Devan Kavindra Bagaskhara's? Not wrong?" His sudden appearance was like something that made him less confident in the changes.

"That's exactly Ki. We all don't believe it either. The name Devan can usually be clearly displayed at number 25, even though you know it is usually at least 99 yes 100. It's weird?" Decriedly

"But this is the new TO. Yes, it can be. Lagian Devan has been studying lately." Obviously Kian, even though he did not know the truth or not his speech just now.

"Oh yeah? But what's your name being number ten anyway?" I immediately looked back at the paper. And sure enough his name is at number ten. Though from the first TO and two has not been as severe as this down.

"Ti, his name is alive. Sometimes above sometimes below. Um.. So everyone's here....?" The question hangs

"Yes, just want proof that the last rank child really goes up drastically or not. There was a lot of confusion and no one believed it at all."

"Ohh that's it."

Kian and Siti were still cool in front of the notice board, until one teacher came there. Make the crowd break.

"Kian??"

"Eh yes ma'am. Why?"

"Follow mom a minute."

He followed the teacher who called him, who was none other than his own homeroom teacher. Kian who was still carrying his gray bag followed Bu Dwi until he reached the office.

"Kian? This last month could be full school. And now you should keep your grades. But the more here I see your value even down. More if your test scores also fall, yes it might affect your graduation and acceptance at your favorite university." Mother Dwi who was already sitting in her chair, looked at Kian who was looking down in front of her.

"Yes mom. Sorry Kian, I'll try again."

"What's wrong? Looks like you have a problem so you become like this. Tell me mom Kian, who knows you can help."

"Eh, no ma'am. It's getting all right. Sorry for the value. But I promise I won't miss you." Rest assured

"Yes already."

"Kian!! Can you come over here?" Call a teacher who has noticed Kian. Ms. Dwi also signaled that she would come to the teacher.

"Yes mom?"

"You haven't paid spp this month. Your value goes down, and you can't get a dispensation not to pay. It's almost the end of the month. At the beginning of next month you will have to take a test and pass. Until when will you delay payment?" Rigorously.

"Yes mom. I will soon pay the money this month. Give it more time, ma'am..." Please Kian

"Mom give you until tomorrow. If you don't pay, I can't do anything anymore."

"Yes mom. We'll pay tomorrow."

"Yes, get out there." Tell the teacher with glasses.

He walked out of the office with a face so anxious and worried. The main problem in his life is money and money. He works for money so that he neglects to study, and because his money is not enough, then maybe next week he can not take the exam.

He walked with a full mind until he daydreamed. No matter around, let alone anyone else.

Rekhs

His hand on someone's pull made him jerk in surprise.

"Lo what the hell!" Shouted Kian who did not know who pulled him. The person did not press at all, Even the pull of the hand was not released at all, until the rooftop.

"Devan, why the hell did I come here. No longer use permission, just a few more bambang sir will enter the Van class." Roceh Kian, but not answered at all by Devan. "Oh yeah btw congratulations. Lately, the value has been going up. I don't think, you must be studying hard, right. Good Van keep improving, I'm sure..." Say it with excitement and a smile.

"Don't smile if your heart isn't okay anymore." He stared hard at Kian.

"Who said? I'm fine." The objection with the face made to frown.

"Can't you stop hm!! Stop doing work, just go to school." Decisively

"Loh why? I have to pay Van's school money. Is it wrong to work?" Try as soft as possible,

"Wrong!! Because your value goes down. Do you feel disappointed with that? Don't be strong. I don't have to worry about anything. I'll take care of everything." Rocehnya while holding both shoulders Kian.

Hearing that, his ears felt hot. It really seems that a weak human being can't do anything without others. He brushed aside Devan's two hands, "Who do I have to beat? Who can deny me? Who can handle all the needs of my life? Kayak gini cave because you do not want to owe a lot to Lo Van. But lo? You even prevent me. I don't have a problem with my situation that I believe, I want effort. While lo? Why do you have to be complicated anyway?!"
