JIWO PROMISE

Airplane Ticket

Jiwo turned his head to the side as he felt someone sitting next to him. Soni smiled faintly at him.

Without further ado he plucked a taloc fruit in Jiwo's hand and chewed it.

"We're one place PKL, Wo" said Soni opening the conversation as she stood to grab the taloc fruit on top of it.

Jiwo just nodded while putting a piece of talok back in his mouth.

Earlier, their class had been given an announcement about the place of the PKL they would occupy.

Jiwo with Soni, Aksan, and Riyanto PKL in the same company. A mining company in Kalimantan.

Not a distant place that now unsettles Jiwo. But the cost to his impression was worrying his heart.

They were told they were leaving for two months. And the impression will be to board the plane.

And Jiwo knows the cost of boarding the plane is not cheap. Very expensive for the economic condition of his family.

Then what about the fate of the PKL if later can not get there?

"I was talking to ask questions with Mr. Bambang about his impression" said Soni again even though Jiwo had not yet voiced.

"Neither plane, right? It was told earlier." said Jiwo finally voiced as well.

"Yes know! What I asked Mr. Bambang was if we could not buy a plane ticket because we did not have money." said Soni quickly.

Jiwo now directs his seat facing toward Soni.

What is being talked about is very much the same condition that he is thinking about right now.

"Pak Bambang said, the school will help borrow the ticket money and all buy it. Later paid with our salary money during PKL.For return tickets usually the cost of tickets is assisted by half by the company" said Soni with a smile.

"Alhamdulillah O Allah." said Jiwo with a relieved voice. Concerns about the ticket to leave PKL there is a solution.

He did not need to bother his mother because he had to think about the cost of buying a plane ticket.

"Your hunt to Mr. Bambang there. Sign up to request purchase of airline tickets. There were already some I saw registering. Riyanto also just now I told him." said Soni while nudging Jiwo's shoulder with his shoulder.

"Yes. Thanks for the info, Son!" jiwo shouted that had shot towards the teacher room.

Soni smiled faintly looking at the joy on Jiwo's face.

He is not as close as Lukman is to Jiwo. But Soni really likes Jiwo's calm and not much behavior, in addition to his intelligent brain as well.

From Lukman he knew the economic condition of the Jiwo family and he could only be concerned.

Since it was announced that the departure to Kalimantan is two months away and will be on a plane, Soni can see the jitters Jiwo. Unfortunately, the boy chose to be quiet and did not try to talk to their teacher.

Jiwo's brain which can usually think quickly in finding a solution seems to be weakening because it has gone down first to think about where the money to buy the plane ticket later.

Soni finally took the initiative to ask questions about everything to Mr. Bambang. And he was very grateful to know the fact that the school did not lose hand about the possible financial difficulties experienced by some students who would PKL far from home.

Jiwo passed Riyanto in front of the teacher's room.

"When did you meet Mr Bambang, Yan?" jiwo asked Riyanto who was already a crybaby when he saw it.

"Yes." replied Riyanto casually.

"Absolute list for tickets?" ask Jiwo again.

"Yes that. My father would like to give me money to buy a ticket. I told buyin also certainly do not know where to buy." as long as Riyanto was greeted by Jiwo's grin.

Actually Riyanto is not from a family that is less capable like him.

His father Riyanto had a fairly large silver craft business. The house is also nice and big.

Unfortunately Riyanto's parents are very stingy for the needs of their children. His money was only focused on increasing their gold deposits.

That's what Riyanto told me all along.

"You I have listed. The paper is made tomorrow in tukerin ticket" Riyanto said as he held out a piece of paper on behalf of Jiwo.

Jiwo smiled happily.

"Alhamdulillah....Thank you, Yan." said Jiwo in a moved tone.

"Down thinking how to help one or two bracelets or my mother's necklace" Riyanto said as they walked back to their classroom-side garden.

"Well?!" ask Jiwo surprised.

"We need money to eat there later, Wo. If you ask for sangu (supply) most beloved how much doang. Know for myself my parents are like step-parents." Riyanto said.

Jiwo chuckles even though his heart is worried again.

Money again.money again the ends.

Mommy wants nyangoni (giving money) I use money from where to try?

"Relax wae (aja)...The four of us in the PKL place tomorrow must be compact. We are all far from home. Friends should be brothers. Must be able to complement each other." Riyanto said as he patted Jiwo's upper arm slowly.

He knew Jiwo was thinking about money for his PKL later. Therefore, he twisted his brain so that he could get a lot of supplies so that he could help Jiwo's eating needs later in the PKL place.

Unfortunately he was willing to help his mother's jewelry assets. Jiwo may not want to give him something later. Moreover, he knew that money was illicit money. The result is good even though he has his own parents.

Yep. Poverty Jiwo is no longer a secret among his friends. But Jiwo never showed inferiority.

Jiwo is humble with the advantages of his brain intelligence and easy to be asked for help by his friends. That's what makes him always 'considered' by his friends.

"You tomorrow at the PKL don't beat the three of them" Lukman said as they walked to the side of Gejayan road to wait for the bus to return home from school.

Although Soni, Aksan, and Riyanto are not among the bad boys, but Lukman certainly knows Jiwo whose position is the most 'weak' among them.

Jiwo just smiled.

"Don't want to be bullied." continued Lukman again who made Jiwo chuckle.

"Are they invaders?" sahut Jiwo with amused tone.

"Dikandani instead ngeyel (dikasih know even denied)." murmured Lukman with an annoyed face.

"Who are you tomorrow?" jiwo asked to switch the conversation.

"Sama Anan, Heru, and Bekti" Lukman replied uninspiredly.

Lukman got a PKL spot in a mine in Sawahlunto, West Sumatra. Different islands with Jiwo.

"Don't fight jotos with Heru later if in the land of people, bikin shy wong Jogja" said Jiwo back advising that in reply Lukman's annoyed look at him.

"Dikandani even mlorok.(still known even glared)" said Jiwo while patting the baseball cap used by Lukman.

"As*u (an Jing)!" swear Lukman with an annoyed tone even though his mouth follows Jiwo who only chuckles.

"Tomorrow to come home from school with me, Wo. Tomorrow I can pinch my father's motor." asked Lukman while sitting on the sidewalk.

"Where?" ask Jiwo curious.

"You say goodbye to gebetan. We go to school." Lukman replied casually.

Jiwo laughs.

"The PKL is still two months away, Man. The distance" said Satrio in interlude his laughter.

"If you wait near us to go to PKL I have to go to his house. I don't dare to be the same. Tomorrow at school there is only a class meeting, so he can go out to the front of the school to meet. Yesterday I made a deal because I met him on the bus." Lukman explained.

Jiwo nodded in understanding.

"Where's the school?" ask Jiwo curious.

"In Maguwo." Lukman replied casually while glancing at Jiwo who looked surprised.

"West SMEA or east?" ask Jiwo then.

"The east dong! Just like Jawitri." said Lukman half-whispering with the intention of teasing Jiwo.

"Third grade too?" ask Jiwo pura-pura casually.

"Twenth grade." Lukman replied with a smile imagining a beautiful girl with shoulder-length hair wearing a black bag.

"Who knows your fortune tomorrow too. Can meet and talk with Witri even though it may only be that limited" said Lukman.

"Why?" jiwo didn't understand.

"Who knew he had a girlfriend at school. Let the SMEA say it's a nest of sinden and STM is a nest of thieves, but there are still guys who school at SMEA and there are girls who school at STM. So the possibility of Witri having a boyfriend also remains. Moreover, you said Witri was very sweet. He must have been a gentleman's glance" Lukman said provocatively.

Jiwo subconsciously nodded in agreement to what Lukman had said just now.

Yes, that possibility is very much there. And it's good he found out about it.

It is true Lukman said. Who knows, tomorrow he can meet Witri and talk to her.

Ah, Jiwo can't wait for tomorrow.
