LITERACY
PART 65'S
The car that Arka was driving stopped at the crossroads of the highway because the red light was on. Lower a little window glass next to the steering wheel and lean his back that feels stiff on the steering chair.
Arka looked outwards, there was a boy about 7 years old running towards Arka's car with shabby clothes, Kumal's face, and bring the pinches made from the lid of a used drink bottle.
The little boy sang with his cry, finished singing a song. The boy thrust a small cardboard as his wallet towards Arka. Without hesitation the young man took a blue piece of money from the wallet and gave it to the little busker.
"Yahh, brother, I don't have any change." The boy showed me the contents of his cardboard which only contained a few pieces of coin.
"Emang must be returned if there is someone who ngasi you?" ask Plain arka.
The boy nodded.
"What is the cost of how much is ngamen?"
"Thousand feet, two thousand at most." explained the little boy.
"Judah, everything is for you."
The little guard was dumbfounded, looking at the Ark and its fifty ribs of banknotes in turn. "Everything, brother?"
Arka nodded and smiled looking at the happy twinkle of the little boy.
The boy seemed to be excited to the point that he cheered and jumped up while saying thanks repeatedly to Arka and then went towards the sidewalk because the sign of the lights would turn green in just a few seconds.
Arka smiled again while continuing to look at the child from his place. A piece of money, which was a very small amount for him turned out to be very useful for others. Suddenly a warm feeling once again enveloped his heart. There was a sense of happiness that lay in his heart.
A woman wearing a purple alma mater, walked gracefully toward Arka, thrusting a sprig of red roses and a piece of paper at her.
"What's this for, ma'am?"
"We from the student organization opened counseling and seminars on HIV/AIDS among adolescents, Dik. Perhaps interested please contact the number listed or directly visit the seminar place can also."
"Ohh, is that right? thanks for the info." Arka took the rose and the paper.
"Together." The student was friendly.
Some time has passed, the traffic lights have not changed color. Feeling bored, Arka also grabbed the leaflet paper given by the student and began to read it. On the cover of the beginning say that;
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a condition in which HIV is already at the final stage of infection. When someone has AIDS, the body no longer has the ability to fight the infection caused.
Still curious, Arka continued reading the next page until her eyes stopped at the writing:
Risk Factors of HIV and AIDS
Groups of people who are more at risk of infection, among others:
Persons who have intercourse without*****, people who have had a blood transfusion.
People who often make tattoos or do piercings.
People who have been infected with other sexual diseases.
Drug users inject with users.
People who have sex with injecting drug users.
Arka's eyes stiffened instantly. He even repeatedly read every sentence per sentence hoping that there was an error with his neutrality. However, the result remains the same. Suddenly a feeling of anxiety and fear filled his mind.
During the drug party held by Zaros and his friends, Arka did not even think about it. Arka began to think whether among the Zaros gang was exposed to HIV/AIDS or, all of them?
