Chapter 2 Little Abilash
Little Abilash
The sound of cheerful cheers was heard to the end of the school library, the cheers of – children who will go to practice gamelan in the art building in front of the school, the cheers of children who will go to practice gamelan in the school, the former school warehouse building which is now used as a storage place for gamelan musical instruments and a place to practice selected – children who will participate in the Karawitan cultural competition before the semester break.
The – children who attended the training were between third and fifth grade, and about fifteen children were selected for the training.
Children – children who are excited is a child – fifth graders, where when the practice is done while the lesson hours are still ongoing and can leave the class taught by Mr. Paijan, one of the fierce and discriminating teachers of the time.
Yes, Mr. Paijan is one of the teachers who do not like students in school. In addition to angry – angry when teaching, he also often discriminates against students in school related to the level of ability of children, including children, physical condition even the background of the family was not spared from the cynical view of Him to his students who are not in line with the profession as a teacher who should provide education and be a role model for students. And that's what makes some students feel excited if there are activities outside the lesson during class hours, feels like free from sniper eyes - griliya eyes.
Once Abil was reprimanded for drawing on his arm, an image that looked like a worm with wings and had legs, Abil intended to draw a dragon but because of his below-flat drawing ability it looks like a worm in the fishing hook, hehehe.
Mr. Paijan who accidentally saw it while explaining the lesson while going around then rebuked him loudly.
"ABILL, what's that on your left arm. wanna be a thug?" ask Mr. Paijan in a tone that makes all students turn their eyes from the blackboard to Abil.
"Engga sir, that was a prank I drew while paying attention to the material of the Father" replied Abil to Mr. Paijan's question.
"YOU YAA, delete it immediately or I call your parents" said Mr. Paijan threatening.
Suddenly one of his classmates said loudly
"Yes that sir, already his father would have been in prison some time ago maybe He wants like his Father" he said to Mr. Paijan who was reprimanding Abil.
"It's just pantes, anyway immediately you clean the picture on your arm now" said Mr. Paijan chimed in the words of one of his students earlier.
"Okay sir, I have permission to go to the bathroom to remove this image" Abil replied while standing up asking for permission to Mr. Paijan.
With a feeling of annoyance and fear, Abilpun went to the bathroom and hurriedly removed the image on his arm. He did not expect as a teacher the way in which to reprimand his students would be as painful as it was added his friend who did not know Abil's internal condition instead judge him in front of teachers and other classmates. But it was like that in fact Abil thought so as not to get carried away.
Abil was one of the students who was chosen to participate in the Karawitan race representing his school for the race.
Abil got the role of playing gamelan saron, one of the musical instruments shaped like a piano, made of brass slabs, and, in the buffer by a wooden board and sounded by being hit using a wooden hammer in the following hand movements that muffle the sound so as not to echo out a long sura.
For its own type of gamelan has quite a lot of variations such as, kendang, peking, gong, kempul, kenong, bonang and plus vocals as a group of karawitan speakers.
Today – children train for two full hours, starting from half-ten after the first half-hour until half-twelfth before school.
Participating in the Karawitan art group is one of the races that Abil participated in, he also participated in – other races such as road movement, scouts and football.
Abil is a fairly good student in non-academic fields, he mastered quite a lot of branches of the race held by the school every year and always represented in the – team. Well, although rarely won the championship, but the team at Abil school always performed quite well in the race.
Around half twelve hours of practice was completed, – children returned to class – each to follow the ongoing lessons. Lessons in the classroom were stopped for a moment because of the noise of children after training, and also shortly after the bell ended the lesson was heard, the sign of the end of all learning – teaches today.
Today Abil has an appointment with one of his best friends, Andri. Andri is a classmate, Abil's best friend and cousin. They are indeed quite familiar, often they go together either to play outside the school or when in school.
Today they plan to go play PS (playstation) at the PS rental place next door, about two in the afternoon.
Arriving at home, as usual Abil parked his bicycle on the concrete fence of the terrace of the house with the position of the bicycle leaning on the fence of the house, and, understandably, the standard of his bike has long been damaged because it is often used Abil to support his fairly thick body.
After all, if fixed there must be a cost to be incurred, Abil's father would be angry - angry. Mending if after being angry immediately give money to the real bike, usually not at all so Abil prefers to cuek related to it, anyway his bike can still be used thought Abil.
Abil then opened the door of the house slowly, with a soft greeting, Abil's hand pushed the door open and made no noise. Not without reason he did this, He knows his Father must be sitting/sleeping in the living room of the house, and if He makes a noise, then it is up to the scolding of the Father.
Sure enough, on the right side of the door, in the wooden chair of the living room the Father was sleeping, asleep, and Abil went in slowly trying to get into the house without making into noise that might make his father wake up.
Arriving in the room, Abilpun rushed to change clothes and went to the bathroom to clean themselves, wash their feet and hands all ablution to perform dzuhur prayer. After the prayer, Abilpun went to the kitchen for lunch.
“hmmmm” murmured softly. There is only white rice in the cupboard.
A moment later He went to the back of the house and took clari (dry coconut leaves that had been removed from the stalk and used to make fire), in the take one clasp of klari which will later be used to burn chili, onions and terasi as a composition to make sambal.Hal this Abil often do, and, in addition, it is better if it is burned for any other reason because cooking oil must also not exist.
Abil then looked for besek (a place of food from bamboo in the webbing) hoping to find chili, onions, terasi and salt. Yes, at home Abil besek used in use as a place to add kitchen spices.
As usual, sometimes at home there are no side dishes that Abil can use as a friend of rice when eating, so Abil made sambal to be able to keep eating with a little taste of spicy and salty combination rather than just eating rice.
“Alhamdulillah iseh ono” (Alhamdulillah is still there) he said in his heart.
He took one klari and then peeled the branches to take the lid only and then used as a skewer to burn chili, terasi and onions. After that Abil immediately turned on the clari with a match taken next to the furnace.
“Creeekkkk”
The flame immediately he used to burn the klari. After the fire grew and Abil put the onion satay, chili and terasi earlier on the fire that He lit.
The smell of red onion makes him hungrier, but it also makes Abil excited because soon he will eat after a day of hunger at school because it never snacks. Let alone snacks, monthly SPP money alone usually Abil pay every one semester or after receiving a letter of reprimand late pay monthly SPP.
After seeing some of the chili and onion that he burned blackened, immediately Abil turn off the fire and prepare leyeh (tear), in the uleknya spice was then added a little salt so as not to be too spicy. Finished making sambal, then he sapped the rice and then ate it greedily.
The hunger and time to prepare a fairly long meal made him enjoy the alakadarnya food with a feeling of pleasure and satisfaction.
After eating, Abil also immediately washed the dishes he used to eat just now in addition to his father's former meal, either side dish what he ate but it seems that in the former plate there is residual vegetables attached, which is the rest of the vegetable, but never mind
“Toh I am also full, the important thing is to go to where Andri to play PS” he said in his heart.
Oh yes, Abil's mother was a laborer in a salty fish factory, she came home at about half-four in the afternoon every day.
Out of the house came Abil, slowly closing the door, He does not want his Father to wake up when he wants to go to play because of course if his Father knows he will be angry and told to do other things.
Depart energetically Abil to Andri's house, usually Abil stopped first to his grandmother's house, not for what, Abil asked permission to go play to the nenknya, in addition to saying goodbye Abil also got pocket money.
Arriving at his grandmother's house Abil greeted his grandmother and as usual he offered the help of massage workers to his grandmother to be given money.
“Nek, pegel no feet, here Abil pijit yaa” said Abil in a soft tone with a smile.
“What snack maker does Bi?l” replied his grandmother who understood Abil's attitude.
“Mau play PS same Andri nek later, Abil no money to help pay the rent, not good with Andri, Abil, every time I go to the rental place PS He continues to pay I never help pay nek”.
Andri has always treated Abil for many things such as when playing PS, snacks or even buy sauce for their fish catches in the rice fields. Andri never disputed that, he also knew the condition of Abil and his family.
“This grandmother gave three thousand money, you have gone to Andri's house there, tomorrow if your new school holiday is here for granny” pijitin said her grandmother.
“Nggih nek, thanks ya nek. Abil promise tomorrow holiday here to mijitin granny” reply with a feeling of pleasure.
Go Abil to Andri's house next to his grandmother's house.
“Andriiiii, Ndriiii, Andriiii” shouted Abil from the front of the house.
“Iya Bill, bentar” sahut Andri from home.
A few minutes later Andri came out and met Abil.
“Come bil, already. What's own boncano – itself nih?” andri said.
“Boncengan aja deh, let it be easier to park” replied Abil.
“OK, the bike you put ahead here aja ya Bil” Andri said while pointing to the front tree of the house.
“OK, Ndri” replied Abil.
Depart them to the PS rental place which is about a kilo from Andri's house. They played about two hours today, after about four in the afternoon they both went home.
Abil quite often played with Andri, they were quite familiar until the high school period which because of different schools and circle friendships, now they rarely go to play together again.
Abil more often play with close friends of his home, which in addition to playing sometimes there is a side job that is usually done by children his age in the area where he lives, namely as a laborer in the fields to help in the plant breeding project.the money can be used Abil for snacks at school or when at home.
Abil is a jolly boy, he forgets the problems in his family when playing with his friends. That is why even though often angry after playing or even sometimes until hit using wood level Abil still does not care and still play with his theme.
Abil actually often envied friends his age, which they used to go with his parents to vacation, eat outside or just see entertainment on the road. Little Abil did not have the opportunity to feel such a moment, even delinquency - delinquency that He did so far in doing so just to express his heart feelings so as not to feel heavy and become a burden in Abil's life.
Abil believes that happiness comes from the heart, external factors only trigger happiness. Important but not the main determining factor.
