The Journey of a Poor Girl

The determination of Aisha

Aisyah was not unaware of Dwi's feelings for her. Only Aisyah is aware of who she is, which should not be even in a dream. He must keep his feelings do not get swept away with all the goodness of Dwi to him.

Aisyah grew into a strong and tough girl because she grew up because of the circumstances that made her like that. Everything she experienced was enough to educate her into a tough woman.

With the passage of time Aisyah has finished her school. Aisyah is currently 18 years old. He was trying to find a job that was in accordance with his diploma. He submitted applications to various companies. And there's one company involved as well.

At first Aisyah was accepted only as a paid production worker. If he is able to produce a lot then the results are also many.

Aisyah while working she took an accounting course at a school that is quite famous in the city of Bandung, Aisyah took the afternoon after work. He was so excited to reach his goal.

At home even while on holiday Aisyah likes to give tutoring to her neighbor's children. Aisyah's night to the pesantren. That's what Aisyah's busy every day.

At one time Aisyah was in her seat, she wanted to go home, usually Aisyah

home use city bus transportation, but because of something Aisyah missed the bus. He did not know the direction to go up especially. All this time he knew was just going back and forth on the city bus.

Aisyah stood at the bus stop while thinking while the time has shown at 17:30 WIB, she was confused about what to go home. While the fare he had just fitting to take the city bus. As he thought an angkot was passing by as his brow shouted, "Caheum, please,....Caheum" Aisyah felt that the area called kenek was he poultice. So he climbed up without him knowing the angkot was going in a direction that he was not familiar with. Aisyah was more confused until the last passenger asked because she was surprised to see Aisyah g down while all the passengers were up.

" I'm sorry neng, where are you going "

" I want to go to kosambi bang "Aisyah replied.

" Astagfirullah neng, neng wrong riding angkot, should be riding it opposite. If this route through sarijadi, cipedes neng" said the kenek again, "

"Well, I was confused, I don't know the direction, I usually go home on the city bus "Aisyah replied again.

" Yes already neng if so neng come again if we want to go to Cicaheum but the direction turns "said the kenek.

" Yes mang g papa is important I can go home " continued Aisyah, he was really afraid. In his pocket there is only money fitting pasan, he was really afraid, Finally Aisyah went around until the angkot ended in Cicaheum.

The kenek said again "let's neng has arrived, continue from here take the city bus. The Alun alun Bandung.

" Yes this is the cost "said Aisyah while giving money 5 rb rupiah,

" G need to take a ride on the bus" said the kenek again.

Aisyah felt very happy because the money was only so much, "thank you many mang have helped me" said Aisyah again while slightly bowing her head, and a spit passed from the terminal to continue its journey.

At home, my mother was very nervous. Dwi was the same he had been waiting for Aisyah to invite him to a meeting held by the village, coincidentally at this time, Dwi became the chairman of Karang Taruna, Aisyah's secretary. Inevitably Aisyah and Dwi often together in conducting organizational activities in the area. So get closer to them.

" Mum ko Aisyah blm came home at this time, usually home at what time if the course "asked Dwi to Aisyah's mother, Aisyah,

" Had to go home, he usually came home at 18:15 minutes" replied Aisyah's mother,

" Where are you, ma'am, didn't Aisyah tell you where to go? " ask Dwi again.

"It's just that there was no, from that was also the mother waiting, g usually Aisyah late like this" replied Aisyah's mother again, continuing them waiting until finally the awaited come. With an exhausted face.

Aisyah from the front of the road is quite far away, Aisyah's house is quite far from the big road takes 10 minutes . Because Aisyah has come with a sweaty face, her mother was willing to nag so g tega.

" Alhamdulillah Shah finally you go home also "said Aisyah's mother, "why until late g usually "ask again.

" Aisyah missed the bus, Aisyah g know the direction of angkot, so yes wrong ride the angkot deh "ansaid Aisyah while glancing at Dwi who from earlier listened without talking to Aisyah.

"Yes, you take a bath, pray and eat, you must cape" said Aisyah's mother.

" Yes bu "Aisyah only answered short because she realized she had not prayed, and the time of the magrib had passed from earlier, all Isya prayers finally. Aisyah rushed to her room, and quickly did what every Muslim should have done. After he finished finally Aisyah headed to the dining table she ate regardless of Dwi who had been waiting for her, she was indifferent.

Dwi ngedumel from earlier he was worried, uh even feared even g care about him, as if g is there, because annoyed finally Dwi exclaimed.

"Well you're kok g nyapa me anyway, know g I've been waiting for you"

" Eh there is Kak Dwi kirain who "answered Aisyah while in the same fashion, saying,

" Ih my people from here, your eyes where until I see me. Or not realize there is me anyway " said Dwi while goiter.

"Yes sorry because I was hunted to not pray yet, and hungry also he he he he" said Aisyah while grinning,

" Yeah you remember that today we were invited to the meeting of Karang Taruna Kelurahan "sahut Dwi, said Dwi,

Aisyah thought for a while as she furrowed her brows, "bare back to meet today" asked Aisyah again,

" Idih your people who received the invitation, try to check again "sahut Dwi again.

" Ok for a while I finish eating it yes, laper nih" said Aisyah as she continued eating quickly. And after that Aisyah cleaned up her food marks. Then to his room to find an invitation from the village, Aisyah headed to his study table, and opened the map one by one. Finally meeting, she read the invitation, Aisyah was shocked "jeez indeed today and the clock is 20:00 wib, she immediately went out of her room, to where Dwi was sitting.

" How about "tanya Dwi,

" Yes today at 20:00 "Aisyah replied with a grin.

"Let's not even smirk gengir clear that, hunt late" said Dwi while standing and stepping out, "

Arriving at the meeting place inevitably Aisyah and Dwi had to sit side by side because of the chairman and his secretary. Meetings run in an orderly manner, and produce deliberation that consensus. Social assistance will be held in their respective regions, given funds from the government. And from every Taruna Reef must be a pioneer for the running of these activities.

Coincidentally Dwi and Aisyah got the task to record what should be improved in the area, Aisyah and Dwi finally went home with a happy heart because the task they took was not too difficult. because they are already very familiar with the condition of the region, even all that happened on the submission of Dwi and Asiyah asked for help to the government to help the region.

While walking together Dwi used the opportunity to talk to Aisyah. Because Dwi has harbored feelings long enough. Dwi finally ventured to declare the same Aisyah.

" Well, can I talk to you for a second ?" ask Dwi.

" What to say, the person from earlier also spoke "answered Aisyah.

" It's not like Shah, it's a personal matter, just a moment "ayu Dwi so that Aisyah will stop for a while somewhere so that she can express her feelings that she has been craving all this time.

" But it's late at night, I'm sorry I'm waiting at home, and it's not good the other night to talk like this, what people will say" Aisyah replied again.

" I told you about it at your house?' asked Dwi again while really hoping Aisyah would talk to him, because Aisyah is difficult to find. Aisyah's time is very narrow, many activities that Aisyah follows.

" Where ya Kak instead of g want but it's been very night, mother certainly does not allow "ansha replied again, "later Sunday happened to be my holiday we talk, " said Aisyah again, said Aisyah again, so that Dwi can spit out and not continue to force himself to talk.

"Alright "answer Dwi with a sigh, swallowing the umpteenth disappointment.

While at home his mother Aisyah g can sleep. He was waiting for his son who had not yet returned. Indeed, since his father died his mother was very caring for Aisyah, especially Aisyah who was sick. So that his mother is overprotective. Aisyah is not free to do something if without her mother's permission, finally the waiting came.

" Assalamualaikum, ma'am "Aisyah said hello while opening the door and saw her mother again sitting on the sofa alone.

" Walaikumsalam, Shah ko very night, I was worried , if you can not join the organization of Shah, you are too busy every day, until the same time I was very little " protest of Aisyah's mother, "

Nanggung ma'am, if the election again Aisyah wants to release it, and will not be active again, Aisyah wants to seriously work so that Aisyah can capital bu, Aisyah wants to go to college" said Aisyah again.

Aisyah is well aware of her mother's ability that is impossible to finance Aisyah college, so Aisyah is determined to work first while looking for a university that is in accordance with her ability.

" Yes or now you sleep, tomorrow you work again "said Aisyah's mother again, "

Yes ma'am, I'm sorry for Mom to wait this way" Aisyah then stepped her feet into her room, to rest. Before going to bed Aisyah take ablution water first, Aisyah habit every want to sleep. Then Aisyah lay herself on the bed, thin and rickety, Aisyah still thinking about what had become Dwi's request.

Aisyah is confused later to answer what, because even though how, Dwi is too good with Him, but on the other hand the Dwi family may not want to accept Aisyah who is in fact her former maid. What people will say to him, like pungguk misses the moon is probably the most appropriate proverb for Aisyah.

While in a different place Dwi was equally unable to close her eyes she kept thinking of Aisyah, she already wanted to express her feelings that she had been craving all this time. He can't wait for Sunday.

Dwi did not think that obstacles would exist in front of him.

Had it been, Dwi was still determined to love Aisyah and have her. Maybe because tired of thinking finally Dwi fell asleep while hugging a photo of Aisyah the girl he loved so much since long ago. Dwi loves Aisyah as she is. Too many shortcomings Aisyah this, but Dwi did not look at it, Aisyahpun beauty ordinary just like most girls. But many things that make Dwi love him very much, Aisyah's determination that makes Dwi love him more.

The expected day arrived, Dwi rushed to Aisyah's house without waiting any longer. While Aisyah was still busy with her homework, when Dwi came Aisyah again washing clothes, Aisyah's mother again arranged the stall that had just opened, l.

" Assalamualaikum," Dwi gave his greetings before entering,

"Walaikumsalam" replied Aisyah's mother " uh tumben Den Dwi holiday here, there would be an event let alone Den" replied Aisyah's mother.

" G ma'am, you want to play here, you want to talk to Aisyah" replied Dwi again,

" Oh a minute, I call you first, because Ayesha Nyah Nyah nyuci first" replied Aisyah's mother again, as she passed away to the kitchen to call Aisyah.

" Shah there is Den Dwi tuh in front" exclaimed Aisyah's mother.

"What's wrong, ma'am, it's the Sunday of the tumben here" asked Aisyah.

" G know Shah, have you met first who knows the important "sahut mother Aisyah again, Aisyah does not remember the promise she wants to talk on Sunday, said Aisyah, he gives hope, he forgets. With a feeling of laziness he got up and stepped towards the front room where there was Dwi waiting for Aisyah, Aisyah was a bit sullen, because this early, besides she. had not finished washing.

"Sir ko early in the morning already here, what do you want, brother ?" ask Aisyah.

"It is not you who promised me today to talk" said Dwi while slightly confused by Aisyah's behavior.

" Oh when, sister, the feeling has never been promised to Sister" said Aisyah again, "

" You idea, want to playin me yes, yes already if that's it I go home" said Dwi while standing and ready to go out,

" Eh ko that's aja ngambek, yes I've apologized yes" said Aisyah with a smile, Dwi saw Aisyah smiling so deg and finally sat back down,

" sook or not want to talk to me" said Aisyah again.

" Well, I want to be frank with you, I'll be .." said Dwi without continuing his words because he was groggy.

" I know what, Brother, if you say not half or half, " said Aisyah again.

"Emmmm I like you, I've been a long time pendam Shah" finally Dwi was able to express her feelings, "how have you been close, do you also like me" asked Dwi with Aisyah, but Aisyah who was asked instead of answering she was dumb. He was confused as to what to answer. Not that Aisyah did not like it but there were many things that Aisyah had to consider. Because without any ties alone Aisyah often get terror from the Dwi family to stay away from Dwi, Aisyah is wrong she does not dare to be frank with Dwi, during this time Aisyah often visited by her Uncle Dwi, Dwi, in order for Aisyah not to be too close to Dwi, not yet Dwi's mother who seemed to hate the same Aisyah since Aisyah g again work at home, there are many things that happened with Aisyah that Dwi himself did not know, he said, because Aisyah was holding it herself.

" Sister may I think first, I want the best for Brother or for me, so I beg you to be patient for a moment yes, until I have the right answer to the question Brother" said Aisyah at length, let not offend Dwi.
