Ray who was back to health stepped quickly to class, he passed through many stairs and twists every turn to his class.
“Ha..ha..ha...” The big breath of Ray who was panting through the stairs. “Finally until also” said Ray while bending for a moment.
When Ray wanted to open the door, he heard Mr. Petra, Ray's Biology teacher, explaining the learning material.
“It looks like there is still 1 hour for this biology lesson to be finished, alright! I will wait until the father has finished explaining, and at that time I will go in and ask permission to follow his lesson.”
Ray was waiting, sitting on the stairs close to his class, as he sat, Ray remembered one thing that he had been late to class and when sitting in a chair he found that there was gum that had been attached to his butt.
‘Entah why I still remember that, even though nine months have passed but it was a shameful thing where I walked from the school hallway with a state of gum still attached to my ass.’ said Ray inwardly while looking down exhausted.
‘Yah it is not the first time but after 2 months I entered this school I was always bullied, and almost every time also they disturb and mock me, yahh, telling me to clean the class by myself, sometimes they also eat my snacks, although I actually rarely snack and even almost never because for snacks only my pocket money will not be enough for the cost to go home.’ Inner Ray grumbled at the circumstances he had experienced.
“Alright now I want you all to read the book pages 13 to 20 pages, and also do the problem contained on that page.”
Ray who heard the words of Mr. Petra who had ended the explanation of the learning material, immediately he began to step closer to the classroom door, only when Ray wanted to open the door there was still doubt in his heart. ‘Will if I go into class they will make fun of me, because of the incident padi.’ Say it in the heart.
‘Ta...but I have to go in! For the sake of knowledge that I must pursue in order to achieve my ideals.’ Inner Ray means it.
“Kriet...” the sound of the door being opened.
“Excuse pak”.
“Oh Ray Frinson, how are you doing?, are you feeling better?.” Ask Mr. Petra.
“He sir, I've improved and can already follow the learning for today.” Ray replied with a flushed look on his face as a result of the incident this morning.
“But instead you better use this 40 minute time to rest in UKS, well I mean not want to drive away, but I feel sorry for you because maybe you are still not happy and also you have missed far learning today.” Petra's sir said to Ray.
“No sir, I've been very healthy for learning today. Indeed I have very late to follow him, ta..but even so I still want to take this class even though only a few minutes left.” Ray said firmly assuring that he still wanted to follow the lesson.
“It turns out you are very excited, you already then, sit in an empty seat behind, and do the tasks that are on pages 13 to 20.” he told Ray.
“Good sir, thank you for your attention to me.”
As Ray steps towards his chair, he is deliberately stumped by Jerk who is the person who always rebully Ray at the beginning of the first Ray entered school.
“Ha ha ha ha ..” Laughter of students who think Ray is a joke worth laughing at. “Hei hey hey..why even laughed!, quickly help.” snapped pack Petra meets the whole class.
“It's okay sir I can stand alone.” said Ray while supporting his body to get back up and walk to his seat.
After Ray sat down he looked at the knee that was scratched when he fell earlier, he rubbed his bloody knee and immediately did the task ordered by Mr. Petra without thinking about the incident that had just happened to him.
………….
The hour hand points at 13:00 where it's time to go home.
“huh... finally done too.” Ray said as he stretched his body. ‘To this day I am not too depressed either, yahh...maybe because Jerk and his members did not hold much dear to me today, so that I can feel safe and also I am very grateful, he said, thanks to Mr. Petra who invited me to come to the office to help him rearrange the messy exam paper.’ Ray muttered happily in heart.
“At time to go home!.” Ray also left school.
On the way, Ray was a little pensive. ‘When I can be a successful person and can live with endless wealth well.’ Ray murmured as he looked up at the sky imagining a hope that he had difficulty reaching.
…
Arriving at home, Ray immediately changed clothes and breakfast. After that he rested for a while because he felt so full.
‘When is there a day where we can live happily without lack of money well?.’ Ray muttered again looking at the blue clouds.
After Ray felt his strength was back he rushed to the garden, where Father and Mother Ray worked to slam bones to meet their daily needs. “Mah, Pah... Ray came” said Ray while greeting and kissing hands to his parents.
“Why are you not at home Ray.” said Ray's mother while putting the hoe he held.
“Not mah... Ray would like to help Mama and you work in the garden.” Ray said as he held the hoe preparing to plow the ground.
“Not many schoolwork you have to complete?.” Ray's father asked as he walked towards the shelter to rest.
“Not really reward because Ray has completed all the tasks of Ray at school earlier, yahhh.. so that Ray can help Mother and father work in this field”.
Ray's father and mother were silent and moved by what his son said. Although Ray is a child who has a short body of about 140 cm and with weak body muscles, but Ray always works hard both at school and in the garden to help both parents.
After half a day of working in the field, he did not feel that the day was getting dark.
“Ray!, it's dark, it's time we go home.” Call Ray's father from across the garden who is helping his wife prepare the luggage.
“Good Pah, Ray will come soon.” he said who is trying to finish his part that is only a little more.
It didn't take long, Ray finally finished his entire piece.
‘Hu... finally done too, time to go home.’ Inner Ray.
The trip that Ray took to get home with his father and mother took 10 minutes.
“How did Ray with your school today, is it fun?.” Ask Ray's mom on the way home.
“Exciting kok mah.” Ray told a lie.
“Good is.. Our hope is that you can become a successful child in the future Ray.” said Ray's mother with a smile on her lips.
Arriving at home, Ray and his parents were welcomed by his sister.
“Welcome Mama, Papa and also sister” said Seni is Ray's sister.
“Why did Mama and Papa come home late?.” Ask Art in a worried tone while helping to clear the luggage by her father and brother.
“Time in the field was still a little more unfinished, so.. we finish it so that Mama, same Papa can rest tomorrow at home.” Said Ray reassuring his sister while pinching her daughter's piercing cheeks.
“Ohhh..., then Mama, Papa and brother immediately take a shower so that Art will take care of all this luggage, later after finishing everything we have breakfast together. Art already masakin food for us, let later eat Mama and Papa immediately rest.” Say Art with a sweet smile on her lips.
The family had a night full of harmony. The sound of laughter from them made a silent night into a night with such a simple crowd.
