So boisterous was the sound of children playing football that afternoon. So many atmosphere of the field is filled with children who enjoy their playing time. Some are playing ball, some are chasing, some are playing kite.
The wind blew a little hard in that pretty shady afternoon. Being able to fly the kites was increasingly flying high, as if their hopes and hopes were flying in the air. Happy dancing is blown by the breeze.
The sun was not too stinging, maybe soon it will sink in the horizon there replaced by night. Make children comfortable playing with their peers. Really childhood is the most beautiful time, where we do not need to think about adult affairs that are sometimes so complicated and strange. There are games and happy laughs.
The world of children is so fun. All friendship with sincerity. Selflessly like an adult. Sometimes quarrels, but for a moment they have made up. The world of children is the best part of life. Although only briefly, but able to leave sweet memories with friends and friends that will be engraved clearly in the memory.
That afternoon Haura was in the field with Elsa, her best friend. They both sit on Elsa's motorcycle accompanying Elsa's sister who is still fun playing kite. Elsa sat in front, and Haura was behind Elsa. They so enjoy the comfort of air that blows cool the pores of their skin.
Elsa glanced towards the rearview mirror that displayed the shadow of her best friend, Haura. A sweet smile emanated on the face of his best friend who was too engrossed to see the children playing.
"Wah .. what happened to the honorable Miss Haura Nadzifa. A smile earlier with a red face. Like a newly bloomed flower" Elsa said.
"What the heck, *n*gawur," said Haura was still engrossed in looking at the group of children playing happily.
"Look El, we used to be happy to be able to play freely like that" Haura pointed to the children who played.
"Yes, you're right. But don't switch the conversation away."
"The beaming face is a sign that someone entered the proposal, right?" elsa Goda.
"What the hell? Not El. Who would want a woman like me" Haura laughed.
"really?I thought there was a *Pr*ince Charming who had come to apply to tie the promise," quipped Elsa.
"Hahaha, right. I won't refuse if Prince Charming proposes to me." Haura replied to Elsa's joke.
"Keep you and Vian when?" ask Elsa again.
" When what?" asked Haura who had memorized the meaning of her best friend's question.
"When 'pak pung pung pung, pak pung pung' lah ..," said Elsa practicing ala-ala people playing tambana.
"Ihhh .. You are? I don't know El yet. He is still busy with his studies. Maybe our path is still very long," Haura said to be gloomy considering Alvian's words.
"Eh, I have some good news," Elsa said. He deliberately switched the conversation, not wanting Haura to be sad.
"What's that?" haura asked a little looked up because her best friend was quite tall.
"I'm going to Bandung" replied Elsa happily.
"Wahhhh, but what do you want to go to Bandung El?" asked Haura confused.
"A few months ago, I auditioned for modeling. Fad. Uh, apparently I accepted Ra," replied Elsa happily.
"Wahhh .. congratulations El. I'm happy, too," said Haura, really feeling the happiness of her best friend. Now the two hold hands tightly.
"Eh, but can you walk around like a model?" asked Haura worried. Because all this time Elsa was a little tomboy.
"Not yet good at Ra. But later there you can learn Ra. Just chill. "
"All I know is that the competition is tough, El, learn from now on. Don't underestimate it" Haura advised.
"Yes too? Uhh..You're scaring me Ra."
"Yes, yeah. Uh, you try to hold my food for a second. Watch out not to eat!" Elsa immediately ran about five meters away from where Haura was standing. Elsa rigidly sways her body like a professional model.
"Yeah.. I'm ashamed of Ra," said Elsa running to hug Haura in embarrassment.
"Why should I be ashamed? You have to be confident. Because you're gonna be a model."
"Yes, sih." The two friends hugged.
"May you succeed El. Don't ever forget I'm your best friend" said Haura tightening their arms.
"Amiiin thank you Ra. Maybe I will forget my best friend. Later if I have been successful, I take you for a walk to Bandung. Okay," said Elsa happily.
"Yes El, God willing," said Haura smilingly. Their embrace has now broken.
"Eh, it's afternoon Ra. I'll call Ed in a minute."
"Ed ... Adekkk..," cried Elsa calling her little brother. The boy looked.
"Yuk played it. It's late afternoon, put down your kite. Tomorrow again play, "said Elsa.
" Yes brother. Wait for Ed to roll the thread." Not answering, Elsa just gave a thumbs up to Edward.
Five minutes later they went home because it was dusk. Not to forget, Elsa drove Haura home.
***
Adhan isya has not been around for long. Ibrahim had just finished his prayer. While his children who have been performing Islamic prayers have been waiting for him on the wooden floor with a mat.
Haura had prepared a simple meal that became a dinner menu. Hana and Fauzan, who were hungry, could not wait for his father who was still thinking. Every now and then they glanced at his father's room, hoping that the old man would come out immediately.
"Where's dad, brother? Uzan is hungry" complained the Bungsu.
"Bentar Zan, wait. I might still be praying." The face of the twelve-year-old boy was so sour from hunger.
Ibrahim came out of his room shortly.
"Dad, let's eat" Haura asked.
"Let's go." Ibrahim sat cross-legged near Hana and Fauzan.
"Zan, lead the prayer" Abraham commanded.
"Okay Dad," said Fauzan, beginning to recite prayers before eating. After praying, they immediately filled their hungry stomachs.
"So you cook Ra. Reminds me of your mother's cooking." Haura smiled as she praised her father.
"Dad, Hana's shoes are broken. Sobek, want to be given glue also can not," said Hana on the sidelines enjoying food.
"Uzan school has also asked for unpaid dues. You got money?" tanya Fauzan further added to the burden of Ibrahim's mind.
"Once, I'll think about it. You spend your food first" said Ibrahim a little sad. The burden he had to bear was so great. It is hard to raise three children alone.
Haura looked at her father with pity. His father in old age should live to enjoy a comfortable old age, but the reality is other. His father had to work hard to support him and his two younger siblings. Haura held back her tears from falling. If only he could do something for his family.
