My Mentari the Light of My Life

Fetish companions

They immediately came out of the school to look for Yayah. The farewell ceremony was over before they saw the results of the graduation and the results of the exam earlier.

Jayah ran while crying through the path, he ran towards the saung (hub) place which was always made by him and his friends. Jayah had fallen several times because it rained last night so the road became muddy and slippery. The uniform he wore became very dirty by the rice field.

When he arrived at the saung (shack), Yamah immediately cried so as to release all the shame and disappointment in his heart. "Cunaon! Kunaon kudu aing nu experience ieu, kunaon!!!" (Translated: Why! why should I do this, why!!!). Shouted Yaah.

A lot of people say that results don't betray effort, and I believe that. But today I really feel betrayed, the effort I put in was in vain! Jeremiah in the heart.

Jayah looked at the sky, looking cloudy like her current mood. At this time Yayah only wanted to stay here, there was no intention to go home or meet anyone.

Tears were unceasingly flowing, he lamented this unfortunate fate of his. How will Mom and Abah react later, he thought.

He was utterly ashamed and useless, even though he was the national child of his Mother and Abah. Hayah was afraid to imagine how her parents would feel.

Even though he and his friends always talk about their favorite high school, and they always talk about wanting to continue school there.

But the hope of continuing to the favorite school he had long sought seemed to be dashed. He really felt very sad and hurt. Hate, shame, disappointment and disbelief coalesced into one in his heart.

"Dad! It turns out you're here, we're looking for you everywhere." Said Ina who looks bored because it has been looking for Jayah everywhere.

"Yes, look at Angel's pat." Sasa who also did not lose ngosan. It was seen Angel hooking her hand to Sasa's waist due to exhaustion.

"Go! I don't want to see anyone for now." Say Yayah in the middle of her sobs.

Ina, Sasa and Angel look at each other because they are confused by the attitude of Jayah, not usually he is like that. "Your father why? If there's a problem with our story, who knows...." Ina's words were cut off.

"Who knew you could help?!" Cut Yaah. "Can you really help?" Said Yamah with a cynical tone.

Sasa approached Yamah. "At least if you tell us the same story, it can lessen the burden on your heart a little bit."

Yayah started sobbing again. His friends were worried to see him. "Your father why, please don't make us worry like gini. Same story with us what's the problem?" Angel rubbed off Jayah's hair.

Jayah looked one by one his friends, clearly visible in their eyes there was a sense of worry and care. Yaah took a deep breath, and then she began to tell her friends about the problem.

"You are patient. This is a lesson so that you can be more careful in doing something. Maybe when filling out the exam question you are too hasty, and it makes you so unfocused." Sasa.

"Yes, the important thing is you don't despair and you have to be optimistic." Added Angel.

"Even if you will not be one more school with us, but we will as much as possible take the time to play at your home." Then Ina hugged Jayah tightly as if she had also felt what Yamah was feeling right now.

I'm really lucky to have them God, thank you for giving me good friends and caring for me.

It was seen that Sasa took a stone and straw, then he tied the stone with straw and formed it into a necklace. Sasa gave it to Yayah.

"What's this?" While receiving a gift from Sasa.

"A fetish?" Angel and Ina together.

"Yes that's called friend's talisman. If you ever feel upset and desperate, you just hold this talisman and remember the three of us. God willing you will find a way out of the problems you are facing." Obviously Sasa.

"Yes, I promise I'll keep this amulet well. Thank you so much, you guys are the best friends for me."

It rained down hard, bringing coolness to them. The water is flowing, overrunning this fertile rice field land. Angel embraces the Yayah who has begun to calm down. Jayah was covered by a jacket belonging to Sasa, slowly drowsiness began to attack Jayah, and Jayah was asleep.

When Jayah opened his eyes, he was confused because he was already in his room. Jayah circulated her gaze around her, this was indeed her room. But why he could be here, is not he was in a saung (shack) with his friends.

"Geus hudang's name?" (Translated: Is Neng awake?) Mother went into the room and approached Yayah while carrying warm milk.

At the place of the warm milk on the study table Yayah. She sat beside Jayah. "David, Eneng...."

"Emak geus nyaho, Mom moual nyarikaran maneh. Maneh kudu keep his sumanget, desperate act, Mother mah tetep proud ka maneh. Maneh mah serbanna bageur teu loba pamenta kos anak batur, geus act in deui's mind. Sakola mah where weh, da nu ngarana mah sarua wae. He was taught another keneh Ulin." (Translated: Mom already knows, Mom won't be mad at you. You have to keep the spirit yes, do not despair, Mother still proud of you. You are a good child does not ask as much as other people's children, have not been considered again. Mah school where aja, whose name is the same school. Learning is not playing). Brushed the hair of his first child.

Yuah smiled, her sense of spirit and confidence began to rise again. Failure is not the end, we can learn from failure. Fail yes rise again, do not even fall and despair.

☀️☀️☀️☀️

"This is what is experienced by the teacher, the point is that you must remain enthusiastic and must not despair. Fail to rise again, do not even fall and despair." Yayah smiled after she finished telling him.

"Thank you, teacher, I promise to rise again and not be desperate like this. Very good teacher, my homeroom teacher has never been this good and this close to me. Class 12D is lucky to have a homeroom teacher like Miss."

Jayah smiled and took something out of her bag, then gave it to the disciple.

"This is what Teacher's mother?"

"That's a friend's talisman. Keep it all right, let's just say it's a memento from Master."

"Thank you, teacher is good." Hugging Jayah.

"Baby, oh, what's your name?"

"My name is Sheila."

"Well Sheila, now you have to go home. It's getting late, look it's getting dusk." Showing sky.

Sheila nodded then kissed the back of Jayah's hand. "Sheila pamit." Passing away from Yaah.

Failure is very painful, if we experience it as if the world is unfair to us. Even to the point of making people slump and despair. But remember failure is not the end of everything, suppose failure is a delayed success. Rise up and fight again, rest assured that you are able to achieve dreams.

Seriate....
