The Arin Life Line

Baffled

 Arin could not say anything, he looked at each of his friends with a smile and a long sigh.

" Thank you, yeah." Said Arin with eyes filled with water, then the four of them hugged each other to strengthen.

At the house Arin heard a conversation between Father and Grandma Arin in the living room. They talked about the Arin school administration, because Grandma was confused about where to look because some days not many patients come for massage massage.

 

" Where am I confused to find money? moreover, the money is not a little 1,650,000, if he has not paid up until the end of this month, he can not take the semester exam, kasian." Grandma told Mr. Arin.

" La keep I have to how Mak, I also have no money. Well, hopefully before the exam, we'll make some money." Replied Mr. Arin with a heavy tone.

Mr. Arin is not a person who has a permanent job, so having enough money to eat is also very grateful. Compared to the state of Mak same Arin they are still more fortunate because they never eat Karak rice (rice that has been dried to dry, which has been dried, then cook again ) because the price of Karak is much cheaper than rice. But for Arin's parents and his sister they often eat Karak rice with potluck side dishes. Not infrequently also Arin always set aside allowance given Mak to collect and when Mother or Father comes he will certainly give the money. And this is also usually Arin's parents to Grandma's house riding a mountain bike/search a truck ride in the same direction. Grandma's house is in the city of M , Arin's parents in the city B long journey taken by public transport can be up to 3 hours. But if for Mother always take the bus, and when later after home Grandma they always brought the same sembako Grandma. However, Grandma also understood the situation of her firstborn.

At school Arin and his best friend were packing his other school kit books, it was time to go home.

" Before we go home, let us pray

pray according to each other's beliefs." Guide the class leader as soon as the class becomes quiet.

" Done, give Salutations "

" Assalamualaikum, good day ma'am." Speak to the students of class X.

Arin and his friends went out the school gate on a leisurely walk. Because so many students come home.

Arin School is a favorite school that has almost 1000 students, so it can be imagined that the break and return hours must be crowded. Moreover, many who carry a motorcycle, and also many who still sit in the school park but most of those in the park are those who are dating, when passing through the park but then they are distant thoughts, not that they both never want to negur temen their men, if they cross paths they just smile. Unlike other friends who have dared to date in class. Not that they are good-natured but they want to focus more on the same school.

" Kok tumben Arin has not returned home usually at this time already home." Granny murmured while standing on the porch of the house, and after a few minutes, biased granny's smile on her lips that began to wrinkle due to seeing her beloved granddaughter from a distance.

" Assalamualaikum." Greet Arin while grabbing Grandma's hand and kissing the back of her hand.

" How come there's a bike you have to be inside." Cheers of Arin in the heart.

By stepping excitedly into the house, and when the figure he was looking for was in front of him he immediately hugged and kissed his hand.

"What time did you arrive?" Ask Arin.

" So 9 o'clock, and there change clothes, we continue to eat the same, grandma from earlier and wait for you." Said Mr. Arin while stroking Arin's hair.

" Ok Arin change clothes first." Arin replied as he passed away.

Half an hour later the four of them sat down at the dinner table, enjoying lunch. In the Selangi Senda joked between the Father and the child who missed each other. Until without realizing all the food was exhausted without waste. Arin really misses gathering together like this, even though this is still incomplete, but Arin is very happy, so he forgot the burden on his mind.
