5. Maryam
By 1:00 Maryam was no longer in her bed. He had cut a carrot in the kitchen. His mother was lighting a hawu (sunda: a traditional stove for cooking. with firewood/tense fuel), a large lantern was already on top of the hawu. Some women cut other vegetables. A man came in and brought a bucket of spiced chicken.
"Teh Imas, the chicken is ready"
"hatur nohun kang Asep" said a veiled woman who was Maryam's mother.
After three o'clock Maryam took ablution and tahajjud prayers alternating with her mother and some other women. Finished the prayer he helped to prepare the packaging of his cooking. Several times he plucked food in the kitchen because he was hungry.
"eh Maryam, it can't be. it's a bad habit.if you want to ask, don't come from comot, like a mouse" said his mother.
"yes ma'am"
At 6:00 Maryam rushed to school on public transport. Get down in front of her school gate and head straight for class.
In class still quiet, he kept his bag and fell asleep on the table.
Brakk, "woyy wake up!!" shouted a man in the Maryam bench.
"Astagfirullahaladziim" Maryam awoke in shock.
"hhhh Linggaa!!!" maryam shouted annoyed.
Linga laughed with satisfaction.
"i'm disturbing Maryam, you're kasian" said Aulia, hitting the phallus.
"aw, yes, sorry"
Maryam was still staring at the sinister Linga. He's really upset.
Joseph came with Jamal and sat down on their bench.
"why the hell?" tanya Jamal looked at Maryam with an annoyed face.
"so Maryam slept" said Lingga.
"continue, disturbed by the Linga!" Maryam's upset. His eyes glazed over and left. Everyone felt strange about his attitude. Jamal got up and saw him go.
"Ul, why is he again?" jamal asked Aulia.
"so bad time ah, the Lingga was good enough to sleep" said Aulia was also upset.
"susulin ul, afraid of why-why" said Yusuf.
Aulia stood with Mina out of class following Maryam. Mina came back shortly.
"Jamal, where did he go?" tanyakanya.
"way canteen"
"okay"
"Lingga, look in the field.fear that he cried again on the edge of the field, making shame" said Yusuf.
Linga ran out with Jamal. Joseph kept his bag and went out.
Aulia and Mina manage to find Maryam sitting on her feet beside the musola.
"Maryam, what's wrong with you?" ask Mina slowly.
"it's okay, just shocked. I don't like it on the side" replied Maryam, trying to smile.
"really?" ask Aulia.
"yes, it's okay"
"we canteen yu, stop" asked Mina.
They also went to the canteen. Mina ordered chocolate milk in the canteen.
"here, drink" Mina gave milk chocolate to Maryam.
"nih, for you too" Mina said giving milk to Aulia as well.
"Wihh thank you, rarely Mina tracts kayak gini" said Aulia.
"Thank you min" said Maryam.
"let's drink"
They drank their milk.
"ahh" Aulia ran out first.
"Thank God" said Maryam.
"Get to class, just keep the bell coming in" Maryam asked.
From a distance, Joseph watched them smiling and returned to the classroom, taking a safe distance from them.
In the classroom, when Joseph was just entering, he threw a small package at Maryam. A strawberry-flavored gum.
"make me?" ask Maryam.
Joseph nodded without looking at him while opening his book. Ms. Sandra, the biology teacher has entered the class and the lesson was started.
After school at the gates of Maryam approached by Akmal.
"Maryam" called Akmal when Maryam had just exited the gate.
"sister Akmal, what's the matter here?"
"it's about papa" he said.
Maryam follows Akmal to the park near the school. From a distance Joseph watched them.
Is Maryam the same brother Akmal still in touch? Are they fighting again? Was Maryam crying really because of a problem with Akmal's sister? inner Joseph. Then he woke up and rushed home.
"So you're sorry about me?" akmal asked casually while kicking the sky.
Maryam nodded.
Akmal took a deep breath and exhaled it heavily.
"How do you know about papa?" ask Akmal.
"it was a long time ago, that night his mother brother Akmal came to the house and angrily also slapped the mother. Her mother said that the mother ruined her household, but she should be happy with their child. I don't listen too much and I don't want to. Then, at that time I accidentally opened my brother's wallet and saw a photo of my father, his mother's sister, the same brother there. I was in shock, plus my brother was angry with me for opening my sister's wallet" explained Maryam at length.
"I'm sorry about being angry"
"I just can't bear to cry if I'm snapped or screamed. It's okay"
"I understand now, you're my brother from my father. We're not supposed to be dating"
Maryam nodded.
"In addition, I also realize that courtship is forbidden by God"
Akmal nodded.
"Mar, Mama wants to divorce papa. I don't know if I should be happy or sad"
"Why? Did you hit your mom too often?" mary's eyes began to tear up.
Akmal nodded, "He's the same as your mother?"
"yes" answered Mary with tears.
Akmal wiped away Maryam's tears.
"There's a big brother here, you have to be strong. Like mom and mom"
Maryam nodded.
"yuk, brother anter came home" Akmal got up and walked first.
"oh yes, sister, you took the university entrance test?" ask Maryam after you get to the bike.
Akmal just shook his head and smiled. Maryam understood, maybe too many obstacles.
