I held But Away

1. Race

"Allahuakbar.allahuakbar.the voice of the morning adhan was heard in Nur's ear, he immediately rushed to the bathroom for ablution, after which he prayed.

After the prayer, he approached his mother who was in the kitchen.

" Asslamu'alaikum mom, what's she cooking?" heed

"Wa'alaikumsalam son mother, this is cooking your favorite fried rice" replied his mother

After helping her mother cook, Nur went and prepared for school.

"Nur, have breakfast immediately and please call your father son" his mother exclaimed

"Good ma'am, ready" she replied with a smile

At breakfast, Nur and his parents ate fried rice made by his mother and himself, as well as his favorite food.

"Alhamdulillah, great pleasure yes ma'am, today we can still eat" he said with a smile

"yes son, immediately go, so as not to be late" said his mother

"Mr,Mother. Nur went to school first yes, insyaallah today Nur will take part in a math competition, pray Nur ya pak,bu" while shaking the hands of his parents.

"we wish you all the best, son, heart on the road" said his parents

It did not take long, Nur had arrived at his school, he also greeted his friends he met.

"Assalamu'alaikum syafa" he said with a sincere smile and dimples on his cheeks

"Wa'alakusalam Nur, have you arrived? from earlier I wait" Reply Syafa who is none other than his closest friend

"he, I'm sorry shafa, it's normal to walk so far" he replied

Now Nur and Syafa have been in class to wait for the teacher who will invite him to follow the race, his heart pounding, his heart thumping, because this is the first time he will take part in a competition for subjects other than religious studies. For religion he usually follows the tilawah and qira'at competitions.

"Bismillah" he said, continuing to encourage himself

"bruk..., astaghfirullah, sorry." he said after hitting someone without looking at him who hit him with a little run

"where are you from Nur? it's been called ma'am elma, the race is about to start"

"heyeh yes, sorry shafa. I went to the toilet" he replied

After the race was held with various questions and questions, the race was over. Now we wait for the results of the race announcement

"To the canteen yuk Nur.." take syafa

"Sorry shafa, you alone, I'm fasting again." he replied

"Oh well, I'll stay. da...."

"Ok.." she replied with a smile

In the cafeteria there were a lot of children waiting for food.

"Over time yes food, but I was laper bin laper.." said Rino who is none other than a friend of azam.

"Heh you are always, saying hunger continues, getting wider rich and thick on your body." Azam replied cynically

"God, you don't know me like this" he replied with laughter.

"Ah brisik you, I just stay back to class, lazy ngantri, hunted in" he said while standing and leaving Rino

Not far from the canteen a student who had just stepped on the VII class was sitting in front of his class looking serious reading a book without paying attention to the surrounding.

"Bruk. ouch, sick.." he complained and felt his arm that hurt from hitting someone.

"You again, you again.."

"Aren't you enough to hit me? now you're bumping into me again?!" ask with high intonation. Yes, who was hit by Nur was none other than Azam, his senior class brother who was now stepping on Class IX.

"sorry brother, not intentionally" he said without staring at his interlocutor

"all right this time I forgive, but not for the next." Azam replied as he left Nur who was going to go naked
