My dear Siomay

scavenger girl

Something seems to be chasing me. I ran as hard as I could, gasping for breath I let out my running ability.

"No, I can't be caught, hurry!!", my heart muttered to itself.

But the faster I ran, the faster the gurgling sound reached my ears, I tried to survive.and.

I don't carry an umbrella, because there are no umbrellas at home. Yep, I can't be like a person who can be ready for an umbrella before the rain, Boro boro for an umbrella, for pocket money or food I have to squeeze sweat slam bones to scavenge on the streets. Life is so hard for me to feel. My father was a scavenger and my mother was just an ordinary housewife. My sister at home there are 5 people and I am the eldest child, a girl who must be willing and sincere to work to help parents in my teenage years. But I am grateful, God still gives me the opportunity to go to school until High School. I got help with school.

The people I passed by seemed to be watching me, the hooded girl who was walking wet, there was someone who seemed to be talking about me. I sat under a shade tree on the side of the road. There was a sound of a car horn, "Tin tin!!!!", I also woke up and started looking for a figure in the car.

"Is, let's get in the car, father anterin!", suddenly someone opened the car glass while shouting.

"Sir Yanto?oh, I guess who, it's okay sir, I want to walk, again my clothes are wet, will get wet again hit by the car seat". I was smiling.

"It's okay, come in!later you are late to school", Pak Yanto insisted.

"Oh, yes sir", I heard the word late and agreed and immediately got into the car.

Mr. Yanto is my neighbor, he is very kind to me. Maybe he felt sorry to see me soaking wet alone on the street.

I opened the car door, apparently I was not a passenger myself, there was a very handsome man smiling at me and I could only smile. My heart rate was racing faster and I couldn't say anything.

"Please come in, De!!!". He let me in the car. I can only nod stiffly. It was the first time I had seen a perfect human being, as flawless as it was, with one look I could see his white skin, his tiny lips, and his, he was like the Korean I saw in the drama.Want once I become a worm so that I can get into the ground and hide.

In the car I couldn't concentrate, I was agitated because I felt like heaven and earth. Even though I was a commoner who only picked up street trash, but when I saw people like this, my heart trembled, even though I could only smile feeling funny, because there's no way there's going to be a romance like I imagined it would be between us.

In the car we did not communicate in the slightest, I only answered questions asked by Mr. Yanto around me who walked alone on a rainy day soaked and about my daily life at home. Anyway and another.

Even when we arrived at my school, I got out of the car quickly, I felt stuffy if I had to continue in such a state. Don't forget to thank Mr. Yanto and the person in the back seat. We split up and the car drove.

Ms. Yanti was waiting for me at the school gate, with a hideous cruel face, and she looked at me and said,

"you're late, so you'll be in the law to clean the school bathroom for a week".

"But my mother was so rained out that it was too late", I tried to plead not to be punished

"what rain?time to ride a rain car? besides, I was wondering if you're a poor man, you know, you can ride in a car?whose car is that?be careful not to hear something that makes this school smeared, so be careful".

Those poor words made me careless, no teacher should say so, "essentially no morals" in my heart grumbled. But that's all I can do. Yanti's mother did not like me from the beginning I entered this favorite High School.I am just a scavenger who has no brainless money anyway, my appearance is also far from perfect, my appearance is also far from perfect, that's why he doesn't like people like me. Sometimes he says 'blocking the scenery' if he sees me.

"That's not so Mom.", I tried to explain.

I can only sigh and surrender, someone like me is indeed not far from the word 'asrah'.

I immediately went to the bathroom, where I was greeted by the gang YoVi and the NuNo (Yolan, Vira, Nuri and Novi), they smiled cynically at me

"You deserve it here in the bathroom". Yolan shook my head with his finger.

"Bersihin tuh bathroom to be clean!!",Novi also spoke.

"Why are you happy to see me suffer?", I asked them.

"Ha.ha.I love to see the poor rich you suffer". Yolan the gang leader while laughing satisfied.

"I'm innocent of anything to you, why do you keep bothering me?".

"You are wrong, who told you to be poor!!! poor people, kumel and kuel like you can't be in a place like this, disgusting!!!!".

"You think I want to be poor, I want to live like you, without burden, where there is abundant money". As I cried, my tears flowed.

Arrived "byurrr!!!", they flushed me with water used in another class plan.

"That's your pain, that's what I thought", Yolan and the gang as they walked by..

I cried so much, people wouldn't hear my cries, because the bathroom was a little far from the teacher's classroom and office. The students who were in the toilet just looked at me without doing anything, they talked about me with their opinions, there were people who agreed, but most of them just kept quiet. Nor could they do anything about it, since Yolan was the owner of this school, no one dared to go against him.

From the outside, someone came running and approached me. It turns out Sofia, my best friend. She hugged me and cried with me, even more than I cried, and I stopped crying because I felt sorry for her. But Sofia still did not stop crying

"Sofia, don't cry, I'm not sad anymore", I wiped her tears, but her tears kept flowing, like a song of sorrow.

"Isna, be patient!your father.", Sofia's back a hiccup.

"Your father is dead!!!".

"What...... what are you talking about???", I was like in disbelief, like hearing the sound of lightning in broad daylight.

"My father why???", I asked again.

"Your father has left this world, and I just got a call from your mother, and she said your father died when you went to school".Sofia told me a story while shedding tears.

I cry as hard as I want. Complete is my suffering, I am now an orphan.
