My son My spirit

Passing Time

The scorching sun burns the skin of every prospective Bintara registrant. Sweat sweat was pouring out but they ignored all that. Given the ideals to be achieved and the pride that will be presented to the beloved parents if later graduated and accepted as a member of the Police later.

There are many physical exercises that they have done. Ignoring tiredness for the sake of great hopes to become a state servant.

After physical training, they are then collected in the field.

"This exercise is not much, because after you graduate there will be a period of education for the formation of the National Police for 7 Months. So you have to be more enthusiastic to practice. Never complain and be discouraged, a Bintara candidate must be strong to accept the results of any decision. If it fails to rise again, if it does not pass this year, try again to fight in the next year", a message from a police admissions committee supervisor in front of prospective participants.

The participants who sat cross-legged in the field heard carefully every delivery from the committee. And that afternoon's activities ended with musical entertainment. There are some participants who have a good voice are welcome to enliven the activities that afternoon. A lot of info they get when they gather it.

With the rest time given participants take the time to memorize the yel-yel that will be displayed when the announcement of the results of the pantukhir later. Physical movement and yel-yel they adjust to the rhythm of the song sung. Until all the rest of the exercise was finally stopped. Participants disbanded.

Arriving home....

Nandi greeted Niqy with green bean milk that is routinely made for physical defense during the exercise. Nandi smiled at her mother.

"There's more Maa?!", said Nandi presumptuously because the fatigue felt could not keep up with his physique.

"Iyaa Di, this is a special mama made for Nandi, so keep the spirit". said Niqy

Thanks Maa, but beware, Nandi wants to lay down first, while sticking his body in the chair.

"Sure Maa", replied Nandi.

"There were whispers that Nandi heard earlier" Nandi said

"What is that" Niqy asked as she frowned.

"Said some friends earlier if you want to graduate must prepare hundreds of millions of money".

"Haach want to take where the money is?, for daily purposes only mama has reduced needs which is not too important not to be bought. Mama is now more focused on primary needs only Di, because after leaving Opa, all the property of the cingkeh plantation is sold to pay the debt. So Mama is now trying alone to meet the needs of the three of us with Oma".

"So Nandi has to how Maa?", asked Nandi again.

"In.mama right said from the beginning, if Nandi chose to register to be a candidate for Police Officer, mama can only support with Prayer. Every prayer Mama always pray for the success of Nandi. If we pass Alhamdulillah we must thank him and if not Nandi must be proud at least ever take the selection test for Bintara Polri, because our sustenance has been arranged Nak. Although we avoid, but if God determines it is our sustenance, then the sustenance will still reach us, all has been arranged according to our respective portions.

Nandi just sighed hearing all that.

"If Opa (the name for grandfather) is still alive, surely Opa will help Mama to support Nandi. Where's Papa? why was he never present? why let your own mama face all this? Where are your brothers? So quickly their affection changed, Mamaa....Nandi just asked Mama to always be present to provide reinforcement to Nandi. Because Nandi doesn't know who to complain to but Mama".

The tear was about to fall, but Nandi wiped it with both hands.
