Sunday morning.
Gilang's father and mother had to go to the office to take care of the work that was being hunted for time, even though the two parents were on vacation still going to his office to finish his work, they usually brought his work home, they usually brought his work home,but since yesterday was busy looking for a new assistant, they forgot that there was some unfinished business.
Before leaving, Gilang's mother said to the tera who was watering the plants in front, will enroll him to Gilang school tomorrow, if his work today is completed.
It should not be necessary to work today, but the mother cannot just sit still, they wake up early and do what they can do.
She asked permission to cook today, because her employer had to go to work even on holidays.
His mother cooked in the kitchen.
Watering plants in the yard and behind the house.
Without him realizing Gilang was looking at him cynically from behind the window on the top floor of the house.
But he just acted that way on tera.
Satisfied looking at the girl, she went down to the kitchen looking for food that was almost finished cooking bu Nur.
..."Bude I eat first can ya, I want to go out in a moment." Followed to his new bude....
Since long ago he always called his assistant with the name bude as his parents requested.
..."Oh yes son Gilang, please but this is something that has not been finished cooking."...
..."No bude, I'm just eating this."...
...*...
This child thought well, but why did his gaze on Tera so different.
Tera who had finished watering the plants, walked into the kitchen but his steps stopped because he saw Gilang was sitting at the table eating.
He immediately turned towards his room.
He did not want to ruin his young master's morning.
Even though he himself felt hungry because it was eight in the morning.
Usually he had breakfast by morning, but because he realized where he was, he decided to wait for the boy to move out of the kitchen.
He threw himself in the bag, but remembering his blue book, he soon got up the brown study shirt, finding the book still empty without a single sentence.
...*...
He decided to write the first sentence in the book.
...*...
(June 30, The first time I set foot in the capital, I first met a rich boy with his own characteristics.
The first time I felt sitting in a fancy car and for the first time living in such a big house, even though everything felt foreign to me, I would do it wholeheartedly, running every task diligently, he said,studying with passion, at my current age I should be happy with my friends there, but for the sake of my mother's happiness, I will try to be a good child, to be an honest domestic assistant, someday, one day,I will find my own happiness, win my dreams across the country, may this blue book accompany me and bear witness to my journey wherever I go ).
...*...
Without feeling it was almost nine o'clock, the blue book is now no longer empty, a little sentence from a little girl who had to grow up by the situation made it filled.
But it made his stomach even more empty.
Tera ran small towards the kitchen, she no longer saw Gilang there, her mother had finished cooking and was now cleaning the rest of the cooking containers.
Tera immediately asked her mother for food.
He took the food and almost took his hand off the plate when he saw Gilang who was wearing a black t-shirt and his jeans jacket walking down the stairs, he did not care about the tera, but tera stared at him unblinkingly,the boy looked even more handsome in such clothes.
Buru buru tera shifted her gaze so as not to make her even more disliked.
Gilang passed quickly and immediately headed to the garage to pick up his motorcycle, he was already carrying a motorcycle when he entered the world of High School, at the age of sixteenth, he was,the big motorbike is a birthday gift from his father because it always gets good grades when sitting in the middle of Junior High, he has been allowed to bring his own motorbike to school and wherever he goes, although a little dangerous, but a little dangerous,but his mother's father still allowed him on the condition of not participating in motorized gangs.
Tera sighed, thinking that if the boy wanted to greet her, he would not feel lonely in the house.
He then took a little food and brought it to the room, he was still reluctant to sit at the family's table..
His mother sat down on the sofa facing the window and stared out.
Tera, who saw her mother, was worried that her mother was crying again given their circumstances, but she smiled at him.
..."Tera, I'm sorry, son, because we need this job, you have to come help mom, and even be a maid here, at your new school later, you don't say anything about mom's work, son,don't make yourself look weak and hated by your schoolmates."...
Tera who was temporarily finishing her food, struggled to swallow because her tears had already soaked her cheeks.
He could only nod slowly as he could not answer what his mother had said.
Just this time he felt his life was this difficult despite meeting a good family for accepting them.
In his former town, he had become accustomed to the ridicule of his friends as long as it did not hurt his body, he accepted what others had said to him, he was indeed the son of a maid, and almost everyone knew it, he said,he could not escape what was already part of his life, he continued to learn with passion and made himself an accomplished student in order to be proud of himself and his parents,no wonder his friends feel rivaled by him.
But this time, he has to be a little more confident or even selfish, and try to spend his teenage years in high school quietly, even though he has to stay away from anyone at school later,even if you have to keep the secret alone.
He didn't mind if no one would be friends with him later, he hoped that no one would know him at school.
Then what about Gilang, what if he told the whole school that tera was only the son of a maid in his house, what if Gilang who hated it was actually telling his friends to disturb him.
His chest was getting claustrophobic imagining everything, he could no longer swallow his food, he ran towards the kitchen and brought the rest of his food.
He cried there, sobbing among the sounds of running tap water.
Who was wrong with his life, he thought again, the crying was getting broken, making him not aware of the presence of Gilang who returned to take something in his room, the stairs to his room was right near the kitchen, indeed,makes it easy to see the crying tera in the dishwasher.
Gilang almost lost his consciousness by standing on the first steps if Tera's cries did not subside.
He ran upstairs and still didn't notice.
Gilang thought about what the girl had done to cry there alone.
Then back to being bodo very.
He went down the stairs and the tera who had finished washing his dishes was glued to see Gilang.
..."Since when did he come back, did he see me cry earlier, whatever, ifp*un he saw, he will not talk to anyone right, his mind calms him"...
He was indifferent, then back to walk in his room, as well as Gilang, he was back on his bike.
He went into the room and went straight to the bathroom to wash his swollen face from crying earlier, fortunately his mother had somehow fallen asleep on the couch.
...*...
He came out of the bathroom and immediately threw himself in his bed, still at ten in the morning, but his eyes were sleepy after crying earlier.
He was asleep until noon
Her mother is no longer in the room, perhaps kitchen to prepare lunch.
Tera woke up when the day had shown twelve o'clock in the afternoon, Mr. Hermawan's car was parked in front of the house.
He chose to stay there until afternoon.
His mother also returned.
They sit back and just quietly enjoy the sun that has begun to sink.
Tomorrow, the real day will begin.
