LIKE I CAN'T SEE

8 EVERYONE HAS A DREAM

"Yes Mak. Jovan promised!", replied Jovan confidently.

The car carrying them suddenly came to a halt as it had arrived. But Mak Silah had to walk home with a cane from the hospital.

There were some neighbors who were just watching. There are those who ask but there are also those who are indifferent to the events that befall Mak Slah. Being someone who is not considered is not easy. But also no need to be dizzy.

"So Jovan's been cooking Mak. Better Mom eat after that take medicine!", pinta Jovan while taking rice and vegetable artificial acid.

"You were waiting for Mom?", asked Mom while receiving a plate containing food.

"Yes. But Mum did not go back and forth so Jovan followed Mum alone".

They eat with gourmand. Pack a plastic plate and sit on the couch as you normally would. Sour vegetable menu this afternoon managed to make them eat more.

A simple menu that is very appetizing for them. A side dish made from the true love and affection of a child to his mother. There really is no match.

Finish eating. Adzan isya. They take the wudlu water for congregational prayers as usual. This time Mak Silah could only sit because of the difficulty of standing up. He did not stop his intention to continue to worship.

The night came to greet him beautifully. The wind started to pierce through the bamboo walls of their houses. It creates cold in it.

The sound of frogs coming from the river on the side. Because the rain this afternoon left a puddle of water for them to race. Singing with his voice.

On a long mat. Jovan is getting ready for bed. Don't forget to give thanks for today's enjoyment. As well as asking for smoothness in every path of his life. Prayers that he prayed every day.

If you have a choice...

I don't want to be a difficult person. Being a person with shortcomings. And no longer have a father.

But I never blamed the fate God had given me. Because I believe God has other plans behind my life journey like this.

Everyone has a dream. And I deserve to dream too. Dreaming of being a useful person later in life. Being a child who is always filial until later. Mak, Jovan can definitely be happy Mom!!!

"Jo, get some sleep. Tomorrow you have to wake up in the morning to study!", said Mother. Make Jovan end his prayer in heart.

"Yes Mak. My mom also took a break. Let her legs heal quickly", Jovan replied as she spread her body and began to close her eyes.

Morning comes. Although it is still late. The sun is not shining. It was only half-five in the morning. This is the habit of Jovan and mother every day.

Even though he still has pain in his leg. Mak Silah did not forget his duty. He woke up half an hour earlier than Jovan. Feel sorry for the child alone puppet if you have to replace his work in the morning blind.

The steps are slow. So that his son does not hear that he has woken up first. But still Jovan knew that his mother could not be banned.

"Mom, let Jovan cook the rice" she asked.

"No. You learn!!".

"But Mom is still sick. Let Jovan take over her mother's duties until she recovers", her whine wants to take over her mother's job.

"Don't!! Go learn quickly. Keep your promise to Mom. If you want to succeed" said the mother full of assertiveness.

Jovan finally did. And inching backwards. Get back inside and pick up the textbooks. Repeating chapters he doesn't understand.

While the mother was busy cooking rice and frying tempeh. He tried to prepare a makeshift breakfast for Jovan. Feeling sorry if Jovan often held back his hunger for not carrying pocket money.

Jovan with lahab eat with tempe fried flour made by mother. It was so good for her empty stomach. "Emak didn't eat?", seeing his mother just silently staring at him eating.

"Later. Mother ate".

"Let Jovan bribe. Ak mak!", telling mom to open her mouth.

"Emak should eat. Make a medicine. Let the mother recover quickly!", he said while continuing to feed her mother. The mother who felt touched her heart shed her tears.

"Why is my mother crying?", rubbing her tears.

"Emak is just grateful. Lucky to have you, son! You're a good boy".

"Mom should be proud of her. Because Jovan's mom is like this. Because Jovan's mother was a tough fairy-hearted woman", put down the dishes and hugged her mother.

The breakfast full of tears was finally over. Jovan held her bag and told Mom. On the way he kept thinking about his school money. He has promised to pay off today if he wants to take the graduation exam.

But reality is inversely proportional. He couldn't even go anywhere yesterday to make extra money. I had to get my mom to the hospital.

What reason do I have to reason later if called? I can't ask for more time.

Say it in your heart while stepping your feet. Suddenly the sound of the car horn made him shocked. "Sister, let's go up!", cried Jessy from inside.

Yes, it turns out Jessy left earlier today than usual. "But", replied Jovan, turning to the right and to the left.

"So calm down. It's still morning. The other kids haven't seen. Come on up!", take her again. He understood what Jovan was thinking. For that try to reject it.

Jovan's still dumb. Then Jessy came down and pulled her. In Jovan's car, it's still quiet. "Big brother why?".

"Sorry Jes, trouble you. O yes sorry also from Mother today has not been able to go to your house because of illness".

"Well, what's the sick mother?", asked Jessy in surprise.

"Emak was hit by the foot brick. Yesterday afternoon".

"God. Can Jessy come see him?".

"No need for Jes. That's very troubling you. Mom just needs a few days of rest".

"I don't feel bothered, sister. It's my own will anyway", he said, trying to convince Jovan.

"Alright" said Jovan.

It didn't feel like it was in front of the school gate. Jovan asked to get down a few meters from the school door. Jessy wouldn't allow it. If anyone sees it, leave it. Jessy will fight anyone who insults Jovan.

"Jess, thanks. O yes what are you leaving early in the morning like this?", he asked.

"Sama-sama Brother. I have business with the principal. It was a long time ago, brother. Chest!", said Jessy in a hurry. They're heading to a different place.

Jovan's heart is still dag dig dug. Prepare mentally later when charged tuition. This issue made him unsettled. How not. It's about the fate of the school.

He walked while comforting himself. Take a breath and throw it away slowly. So next. Until he was in front of his class.
