Chapter 9

Rainbows are active in Paskibraka which often makes it home in the afternoon especially soon is the independence day of the Republic of Indonesia. He and his friends had to rehearse marching lines because it went into the flag raiser army. They are dried in the hot sun, making their skin burn and turn into sapodilla. This also happens in rainbows. Her soft yellow skin changed, making her a beautiful child. This got him quipped by Dewun.

"You're a girl, but you can't take care of yourself" Dewun said.

"It's my body and I know how to take care of it myself" the rainbow replied as it passed.

Although Rainbow has used sunblock and protects the other skin, still the skin becomes black. Even his skin became mottled in certain parts. The skin that is covered by clothes and those that are not, is clearly visible.

Dusk also bought face wash soap and moisturizer for the rainbow. That was because the skin of his face was very clearly visible to be black. 

"The craftsmen use it so that the color of your facial skin can return, not black so," said Dusk while handing a mini crackle to Rainbow.

"Thank you, ma'am," said Rainbow happily.

"Mom, am I not buying cosmetics?" ask Dewun.

"That's mom bought because the skin on the face black rainbow sunburned. Brother's facial skin is fine," replied Dusk.

"But, big brother wants to, Mom, too" said Dew with a whine.

Lembayung who heard that also asked to buy perfumes for children. He also wanted to look like he could take care of himself, even though he was still a Grade 6 Elementary School.

Dusk inevitably bought her the wishes of her other two daughters. That is if you have a daughter who is close by. If one is given, the other will ask.

The rainbow and the other brothers passed through his days as usual. Piling up homework, a lot of school activity. Then, the day that is often awaited by students is the study tour. Pelangi School will make a tourist visit in the capital. Of course, it requires a lot of money because they will visit many places, so they will stay one night at the inn.

"You don't come, because I don't have any money" said Dusk when Rainbow handed me a notice about the study tour.

"When Kak Dewun went to Bali far away in need of a lot of money, I allowed him to come along. I even had to give up going to public school. Now it's my turn to take the study tour, why did you forbid it?" The rainbow held tightness in his chest.

"Had Mom said earlier, if you don't have any money. If you want to go, just use your money, "reply to Dusk.

"Not every time I get money, everything is always loved to Mom" said Rainbow.

Dusk fell silent and confirmed what the Rainbow said was true. Every rainbow gets money, whatever the amount, always given to him.

Rainbow also took more chips sales to Bi Eneng. He's not shy about selling chips to his friends. Even all his trading was exhausted at rest. He is also willing not to snack, because the money is saved to go study tour later.

"Relangi want to study tour? How much is it?" tanya Awan whose body is now being massaged by a Rainbow.

"Two hundred thousand, sir. It was for two days and one night" replied the Rainbow.

"When's the last payment?" ask the clouds again.

"That's already Rainbow pay. Incidentally the results of selling Bi Eneng chips, quite," replied Rainbow. He did not tell his father that he also took laborers in his neighbor's house. This is because the Clouds do not like that Rainbows do that.

"Why not ask for money with mom?" tanya Awan was astonished.

"Because I said I didn't have any money" replied Rainbow honestly.

"What's? The feeling of the father now gives a lot more money because the merchandise is always crowded," said Awan surprised to hear the words Rainbow.

The rainbow fell silent, she did not know the reason her mother said there was no money. During this time Rainbow always reluctant if asking for money to his father. Because, he knew that all the profits from his trade were always given to his mother.

Clouds also call Dusk and ask the reason not to give money study tour to Rainbow. The reason given by Dusk to her husband was that she was raising money for Lembayung to enter the next new teaching Junior High School. Dusk plans Lembayung to enter the same school as Dewun.

The feeling of the rainbow at this time was like it had been overwritten by a large-sized stone, overwritten again with a stone that was much larger than before. Ironically, he had to give in to the school because there was no money. Because, the money will be used to study the Dew tour to Bali. However, when the situation is reversed, he must give up not going on a study tour, because Lembayung wants to go to the favorite school.

In exchange for the study tour money, Awan gave money to Rainbow and was protested by Dusk. In fact, the money is also saved by Rainbow in school savings for the entrance fee of High School later.

As per the wishes of Dusk, Lembayung also went to school in SMP the same place as Dewun. Again Rainbows must accept wearing uniforms and used Dew bags. This is because the money runs out for Lembayung's admission list to the school.

Meanwhile, all the stuff for Lembayung is new. If, the three of them were sitting next to each other, then it would look the difference in color of their clothes. Rainbow uniform already looks bladus, different from the other two brothers. Their uniforms are still clean and shiny. If, Rainbow protest it will even increase the burden of the mind of his parents. If, want Rainbow can buy his own uniform with money selling chips. However, his father had the money saved for a really urgent need.

"Save the money and don't tell anyone. It's yours and use it for your needs later" said Awan.

The new cloud knows that Rainbow often uses its own money to meet its needs. He did not expect that Dusk often did not do justice to the Rainbow.
