Back home
The sound of the simple horn, the dust flying, the hustle and bustle of people passing by adds to the scorching atmosphere of daylight in the terminal.
Pram walked looking for a bus to his city, he still wears a uniform complete with a cross in his rank while holding a backpack containing some of his needs while at home.
This day first got the opportunity to spend the night at home after a few months of education. Although the sweat ran down his forehead but the water was very bright he had imagined the face of his mother's father waiting for him at home.
It has been a few months since he was transferred to the dormitory education he did not meet his mother's father. It felt like he wanted to get home immediately and hug his parents tightly there was a sense of pride in his chest.
Pram is a student of Secaba (School Candidate Bintara) from Bintara PK which is a candidate Bintara from the general public. Pram is a handsome young man with a high-strength posture.being a soldier is his dream since childhood. Pram tried so hard that he could become Secaba as he is now, he had to register and fail several times until finally being accepted as Caba at Kodam where he lives. Pram attended Caba's education for five months at Dodik Secaba.
After getting the bus he looked for a seat close to the window so that he could enjoy the view during his return trip to repel his saturation.
Pram took out the food and drink bottles he had bought at the stall before boarding the bus. He hummed a little following the music that was being played by the bus, Anji's songs accompanied him to eat the snacks he had bought earlier. After a while the bus began to move slowly leaving the terminal.
After the bus crept on the highway he tried to close his eyes, he wanted to take a short break after being tired because indeed this few months he was sleep deprived, he said, he only sleeps about 2 to 3 hours every day during education because of the tight activities he has to live.

Pram immediately rushed up the red angkot that had been filled with several people. Pram had to wait for the full angkot to be able to leave. After a quarter of an hour Pram's journey has reached his home.
Pram rushed down and walked hurriedly towards his house. There was a sense of harrum going on in his chest today was the day he had been waiting for so much for these few months. He stepped steadily and firmly while a fluffy smile on his lips he really could not wait to immediately hug his two parents.
