Life is a Fight

Coins Are Meaningful

This morning Syafira saw her brother still sound asleep. The handsome face looked very tired. Late afternoon when he came home from scout activities at his school, Syafira saw his brother busy at the martabak shop where he worked. So busy Izar that he did not see his sister walking in front of the shop where he worked.

"Fira why, son?" tanya Umi approached her daughter.

"Peace Mas Izar ya Mi, when will be home at what time?" ask Fira slowly.

"Lacking to know Nak, Umi woke up at 2 but Mas has not come home, just after the dawn of dawn Umi woke up Mas Izar had slept next to Umi," he explained to Syafira.

"Mas so I'm sorry Mi now" he asked again as he continued to stare at the only man in the house.

"Yes Dear. Mas every weekday go home in the morning continues," replied Umi while rubbing her daughter's hair.

Fira daydreamed again, two days ago when she borrowed her sister's phone, she accidentally opened a message from someone who gave information about a rework call that would be placed at her school. From the message can be concluded if it is pleasing, tomorrow he must interview but Izar did not tell about it to Umi or his sisters.

"Mbak Fira, daydream. Yuk departs," said Syakilla disperse his reverie.

"Yes, yes .. let's go." Fira immediately stood tailing to Killa.

When the younger brother left for school, Izar woke up and approached Uminya.

"Mi, it's shopping money for tomorrow," said Izar giving some money to Uminya.

"Thank you, son, thank you" replied Umi while looking at her son.

"Izar why else?" tanya Umi saw her son was lethargic.

"No Papa Mi. Mas Faris was cured, Izar last worked there," he replied while playing his phone.

"Yes son, God willing, God has prepared a fortune elsewhere" Umi said gently to calm Izar's heart.

"Amin, Umi always keeps Izar quiet." Izar immediately hugged Uminya tightly.

Like the previous days, that afternoon was only spent joking with laughter with Umi. There was no intention in the slightest he wanted to go out to spend time with his friends, even though Umi had asked for it.

"Lo, Mas Izar kok tumben still at home?" syafira asked in shock when she saw her sister after school.

"Yes, Izar is home?" timpal Syakilla kissed Umi and Izar's hands alternately.

"How do you guys tumben go home together?" ask Umi wonder.

"Not accidentally met in the fork earlier," replied Fira while putting the bag.

"Mas Izar wasn't answered by Fira's question" he protested to his older brother.

"Change clothes first just to fall asleep," Izar's pinta held the head of the younger brother who will lean on Umi's lap.

They also follow the orders of their brother. After changing clothes Fira immediately attached to Uminya while Killa dropped her head on Izar's lap. What a beautiful sight. As Izar promised that he would be the figure of Abi for his two younger siblings.

"Is today a holiday?" ask Killa.

"It's not working there anymore, his employees who are on leave can work again," he replied as he rubbed Killa's head.

"Where do you want to work?" tanya Fira chimed in.

"Ntar also has a windfall for us, he said Umi. You guys calm down, don't worry about finding work again,"

Fira fell silent again, he remembered the older brother working not for himself but to meet the needs of the family. It's good if Izar just accepts the job offer at Fira's school.

"Mi, his son daydreamed, "Izar said to Uminya.

"Heii Umi's son can't daydream." Umi kissed Syafira's cheek in her arms.

"Mas Izar works at Fira's school, too," he answered suddenly startling everyone.

"So Fira isn't shy about working at Fira's school?" ask Izar to his sister.

"Fira was never ashamed of me,"

"What really?" Izar's Goda to his sister.

"Yes Mas, Fira was never embarrassed whatever Mas Izar's work, it's for us too." Fira smiled back at her brother.

"Couldn't you be Ma'am?" ask Killa who is still in Izar's lap.

"Fira just don't want Mas Izar every morning see Abi to school Fira nganterin his son. Later Mas Izar was sad," Fira replied as she looked at Umi.

"Fira isn't sad?" Izar asked back.

"Yes that's how Mas, free," replied Fira cuek.

"Fira dear," said Umi rubbed Syafira's head.

"Where is Mas? Want to take the offer?"

"Do you know if there's another offer?" ask Izar wonder.

"He .. he .. he ... Fira accidentally opened Mas Izar's phone" he said with a smile.

"Umi, that naughty Fira, open up to Izar," Izar protested to Uminya.

"It was not intentional, Mas" said Fira in self-defense.

"Steep, just a few,"

"Fira, tomorrow again can not be so presumptuous, son. Protect each other's privacy. Fira does not like if you have Fira in open Umi or Mas Izar without permission?" said Umi while continuing to rub her daughter's head.

"Yes Mi, sorry."

"Kok apologized to Umi, not Mas Izar," Umi said with a smile.

Fira immediately let go of her arms and then approached her brother.

"I'm sorry Mas" Fira said before Izar.

"Sorry?" Izar Goda.

"What should Fira do?" he continued to look at his brother.

Izar just silently did not want to answer, Fira was getting closer to her brother.

"I'm sorry dear Mas Izar," said Fira as she peeked at Izar's cheek.

"Senengnya Umi see you guys so," said Umi smiling.

"Let Umi not be sad anymore, Mi," said Syakilla playing her brother's hand.

"You are happy for Umi" replied Umi.

"Would Mas Izar want to work at Fira's school?" ask Syakilla.

"May you try, for your sake," Izar replied as he hugged his two beautiful sisters.

"O Allah, thank you for bringing happiness through this sholehah daughter's son" Umi thanked.

That night through Izar and his family with laughter full of happiness although there is actually a heavy burden that they deliberately forget for a moment.

This morning Abizar was preparing for an interview at Fira's school. He left with his two sisters after breakfast and said goodbye to Umi. The three brothers were joking with laughter along the way.

"No, why should I be ashamed? Fira can stay in school even because of Mas Izar's hard work," replied Fira as she looked at the older brother who was walking beside her.

"Iya Mas, Killa's school is the same as Fira's mother will pay expensive. Killa is the thought of transferring schools that do not pay Mas," said Syakilla.

"Nease Deck, let's try your best for your education,"

"Even though Mas sacrificed his own education?" said Fira chimed.

"No papa, anyway Mas will do anything for the happiness of Umi and you," replied Izar with a smile.

It is very noble of Izar's heart, he does not want his two younger brothers to lose what they should get even though he has to sacrifice his own interests.

It does not feel they have arrived at Fira school after that at the crossroads of the road separated from Syakilla because the school is different directions.

After going through all the stages that have been determined, Izar and two other applicants were finally accepted into the school. He is also grateful for the fortune that God gave to the family through his hard work.

The day changed, he came to Fira's school earlier than the younger brother in a janitorial uniform. On his first day he had already received a heart-wrenching shock. As he was cleaning the window of a room he saw his father was dropping off the son of his new wife. He seemed to love the girl even more than his love for the children who had been abandoned by her.

"Astagfirullahalazim, strengthen the servant O Allah. As hard as Fira's heart faced this painful reality, "Izar's inner self as he continued to clean the windowpanes.

Today went through pretty well. He did the work from 06:00 am to 16:30 this afternoon. Arriving at home he was immediately greeted by Umi and her sisters. They really spoil Izar.

"Capek is Mas?" syafira asked while holding her brother's shoulder.

"Lumayan Pegel, but no papa .. only need adjustment, up and down the stairs directly from the morning," he replied while enjoying the food prepared by Umi.

"Mbak Fira is not ashamed, is Mas Izar working at his school?" ask Umi worried.

"No Mi, Fira just thanked Mas Izar who was willing to work hard for us," replied Fira while sticking his face on Izar's back.

Days passed, they carried out their activities as usual. Until one day after Fira took sports lessons, he stood in front of his class on the third floor with some friends. Fira sees her brother cleaning the sewer next to the Fira class building. His heart was so sad to see his brother do that. His eyes were fixed on the older brother who seemed to focus on cleaning up the trash in the sewer. The clear details of his eyes are not able to be contained anymore. At the same time, Bella and some of her friends were also standing near Fira and suddenly one of them accidentally nudged Fira until the coin she held floated free from the third floor where she stood.

"Astagfirullahalazim" said Fira in shock.

He immediately saw where the money had fallen, then he immediately left the place.

"Where's the fira going?" ask her friend to see Fira panicking.

"You take Dev's money, you know," he told his classmate Devi.

"It's just a thousand coins, isn't it?" chattering to his other friend.

Fira did not care about the words of his friends, he continued to run down the stairs to pick up a thousand rupiah coin that fell right next to the flower pot.

After getting the money back, he walked slowly to his class on the third floor. His friends seem to be watching him.

"May ... Fira, aren't you tired of running around?" devi asked when Fira had just arrived in front of her class.

He did not answer, only the smile he showed his friends.

"It's just money a thousand doang to run around so, just a few times Fir," said Bella relaxed as if nothing had ever happened to them.

Again Fira just smiled, this time the smile looks so meaningful.

Bella returns with rants that insinuate Fira, sounding so painful in the ears of her best friends.

"Maybe this money is not very valuable to you but different from Fira," he said still holding back his tears.

"But not that too Fir time," said another friend of Bella.

"Because you don't know how the most meaningful people in Fira's life fought hard to get this money," Fira said now she began to shed tears.

Bella and her friends leave Fira with taunting chants, while Fira still survives in that place with Devi.

"It's Fir, don't cry anymore. We know what Bella and her friends are like" said Devi to calm Fira down.

"Dev, that's the one in the gutter there you know who?" ask Fira to her best friend.

"Well that's it I just wanted it, who's the new Mas-Mas cleaning service. At first glance his face is not foreign but who is it," said Devi forget to remember because he met with Izar a few years ago with a different appearance as well.

"You want Mas Izar?" said Fira still continues to look at the brother who is working from the front of his class.

"Mas Izar? Your brother who once anter me home that's not it?" guess Devi.

"That's right,"

"What does this have to do with cleaning services?" ask Devi wonder.

"That's Mas Izar, Dev .. my brother," he said back in tears.

"O Allah is Fir, really? What the hell is going on?" devi asked while hugging Fira.

Without them noticing, behind them standing right now was one of the teachers listening to their conversation.

"He's the man who fights for my life now Dev, so I'm willing to take this money downstairs. Because this money is the result of the struggle of Mas Izar-ku," said Fira still shed tears.

"What happened Fir? May I know?" devi asked quietly while hugging Fira.

Devi also took Fira to a quieter place, in the corner of the room where the art practice and without them knowing the teacher still followed him because of curiosity also with what Fira said earlier.

"I'm going to leave Umi and us,"

"Hm .. astagfirullahalazim,"

"And now Abi is married to Bella's mother" she said.

"Oh Allah, Robb ... Fira," said Devi was now unable to hold back her tears as well as a teacher who suddenly hugged Fira.

"Bu Retno," said Devi and Fira were shocked to feel the touch from the teacher.

"I'm sorry, Miss Retno was accidentally heard the story of Fira," he said still hugging Fira.

"Yes ma'am, no papa," Fira replied with a slight smile as she wiped her tears.

"May Bu Retno know, now Fira lives where after Umi and Abi separated?" ask him slowly while occasionally hugging the outstanding students at his school.

All teachers already know Fira because of the intelligence of Fira, he always stands out in every lesson so famous in the eyes of teachers.

"Fira lives in the deket house that Fira used to live in," he answered now holding Devi's hand.

"Tell me?" ask Ms. Retno curiously.

"Maybe you don't want to know, ma'am,"

"That means when Fira picked up the prize back then, Abi was at the school?" ask Miss Retno.

"Yes, ma'am" he replied slowly.

"Fira strong yes, dear," said Bu Retno now drifting in a sad atmosphere in the hearts of her students.

"Mom don't say anything to Bella ya Ma'am, Let Fira learn lessons from Mas Izar" she replied with a smile.

"Subhanallah ... I'm proud of Fira," she replied, now Bu Retno smiled with Devi and Fira.

"So Umi's proud son and sister are also Mas ya Nak," said Ms Retno now walking out of the room with Fira and Devi.
