I Want to Go Home

4. happiness comes slowly

My days have been told with stories, without parents like any other child. Even so, I am still lucky to have a grandmother who loves me so much.

I don't think my childhood is over. Now, I'm growing up, teenager I mean. My friend is still Robi, and he's right. The Princess likes me, that's what the Princess said in person at our Elementary School farewell. Of course I refused, because we were kids. After the incident of Princess's refusal, she became embarrassed. Not greeting me when I meet.

After graduating from Primary School, I went on to the best Secondary School in my village. Not bragging, but I graduated with the best title in school, beat Princess, she was number two best.

At the time of Junior High, the princess did not want to greet me. I greeted him first, he was indifferent. Ohya, I don't go to school with Robi. She was educated by her mother at the Islamic School. Let's not forget about religion, the time value of graduation is quite good.

In high school, I also used a bicycle. Not only me, but there are still many other students who use bicycles, although there are also those who use their father's motorcycle.

The older I get, the sadder I get, too. Grandma's age is getting older, has started to get sick and very rarely to the fields. So, after school I helped work our fields. Sometimes I help Robi, she's my best friend.

"Did you have a girlfriend?" I'm going to Robi.

"Not yet" he answered briefly.

"Why?" I'm nanya.

"By not going out, sin." Answer

.

"Why can it be a sin?" Ask again.

Robi stopped the job of hoeing him.

"And do not approach adultery" replied Robi in the style of Ustad giving a lecture at the Mosque.

"Dating's approaching zina?" I asked again.

"Yes, even if there is no intention. But mostly that." Rigorously.

"So you're not looking for a boyfriend?"

"Well! I'm going out, but I don't want to zina. Confused." Her speech.

I stopped asking, but he asked me back.

"Why do you refuse the Princess?" Ask.

"Not going out" I replied.

"Mending to me" he said.

"Me?" My toot.

"His daughter!"

"Oh, haha"

"He likes the handsome ones like you" he said.

"Yaudah, you're so handsome let the Princess want to." I said.

"You're thin, you're hard" he complained.

"Nothing is difficult, if you were not fluent in Indonesian? Now be fluent. Even a transfer student would you?" I'm saying.

"Yes, I'm dieting." Reveal it.

"Yes,"

That's how me and Robi are, joking and joking every time they talk. He really diet, every afternoon sports around the village, jogging.

The result was good, he was finally not fat anymore. The body is nice, but the skin is a little black because of the heat.

Robi says after graduating Junior High, she wants a high school with me. He said his mother gave him permission. I'm happy, because there's no friend like Robi I've ever met in a new school.

"I want a bike" he said.

"I'm nebeng ya," Gurauku.

"May, as long as I'm single. If you have a girlfriend, you can't" she replied.

"Hahaha, yes"

"What kind of girlfriend are you?" Ask surprised me.

"Don't go out" I replied.

"Jude, wife." Evidently

"Not yet thought," I replied again.

"You faggot? Why not interested?" He asked while patting my shoulder.

"First, just think of women." I said.

"Hmm" he muttered.

I shut up, Robi shut up.

"If you find out what you like but you're not rich yet?" Ask again.

"I don't know, I haven't met you yet." Answer me with a smile.

Robi seems annoyed, but it's true that I don't know and haven't thought about things that smell like women. Later, said grandma focus first.

My Junior High School is so, graduated with the best grades again and was accepted in the best High School again. Robi too, she studied hard and managed to become a friend of my High School.

Said he wanted to be a basketball kid, let's be cool. His body is also thinner than before, if I am this way. Not skinny and not fat, ideal.

The first day in High School, we did Student Orientation Period or MOS. Scolded, sunburned, and told to do strange things.

I'm in a group with Robi, you know what's going on? We were punished for talking constantly. We were told to salute the flag on the school grounds for 30 minutes.

"Women here are beautiful." Robi.

"You, don't talk. We will be punished again" I said.

.

"Yes, I'm just saying. Don't respond, let's not talk." Joking.

Yeah, that's how Robi is. He really wants to date, but he's not evil. He said he just wanted a girlfriend. I trust.

I have to finish my goals, graduate with the best grades again and go to college in the City. So I can get a good job, just like Grandma dreamed.
