“For monthly money anyway we can well, but for money to enter, mama only have a deposit of 400 thousand,” Mama Yasser replied with a confused feeling.

“Ga papa ma, tomorrow we will sell chilli, hopefully the price can cover the shortcomings,” replied Her Husband.

“Aminnn... “ they agree on their expectations.

Day at the market.

“That I brought this cayenne bang, yesterday's pickings,” His father Yasser showed me the chili he would sell to Bang Rudi, a vegetable seller.

“Reject how much one kilo?” bang Rudi started bidding and looked interested in the chili brought by Yasser's father.

Indeed, the quality of chili sold by his father Yasser is good, because the chili is well cared for.

“As usual aja bang, 35 thousand sekilo,”

“There is no profit for me if it is so Gus, What if 25 thousand?, I take all this,” bang Rudi bids on his father Yasser who is often called Agus.

“Ya can also bang,”

“Raise to the scales first,” bang Rudi reigned right on his father Yasser.

Yasser's father weighed his chili on the scales belonging to Rudi.

“47 Kilo Bang,” His father Yasser said while showing the scales on bang Rudi.

“47×25.000\= 1.175.000, okay .. This is the money.” Bang Rudi calculates with a calculator then takes the wallet out of his jeans pocket, takes the money out of the wallet and gives it to his father Agus bang Yasser.

Yasser's father came home on his motorcycle.

“Where's Yah? How much is sekilo?” Yasser's mother asked when her husband entered the house.

“Alhamdulillah Ma, his sustenance Children want to go to school, about 25, chili all 47 kg, so this money, 1,150,000, was in the way the father of gasoline 10 thousand, father bought fried 10 thousand, father bought fried 10 thousand, cigarette dad 5 thousand.” Yasser's father handed money and fried food in his hands to his wife.

“It's 50 thousand for dad's handrails, 100 thousand for Yasser's extra school entrance fee, which is more later on Sunday we shopped 3 dozen notebooks for them and bought a uniform for Yasser,” Mama Yasser makes details to buy.

“Buy blue pants aja ma, white clothes are still there old clothes, can still be packed,” Yasser said sitting next to them, his sisters began to enjoy the fried food their father brought.

“Yes already if you say so, it means the money we can save, if we already can buy a washing machine a lot, so Mama can take more cloth from the neighboring house,” His mother Yasser said with great hope.

His mother Yasser had long wanted to open a laundry business, but there was no capital to buy a washing machine, so the washing business was limited because it was still manual, only a few houses were received.

"Yes Ma" Yasser replied with a happy smile.

Yasser and Silvi have already returned the registration form before the 28th. Silvi's form is returned to Abinya, while Yasser returns it himself.

The students disperse, and towards the exit, Yasser chooses to sit in the courtyard of the school, to avoid meeting Silvi.

Silvi returns home picked up by Abinya, because the school bus has not worked, is still in the mood for class hikes.

The school is deserted, Yasser heads to the parking lot to pick up his bike. He rode his bike home.

“Ma, today the announcement of who is passing by and who is not passing by,” Yasser said to Mama.

“So why aren't you ready?” Mother asked.

“Later afternoon aja Abangli Ma, if early in the morning many people Ma, later if not through shame Ma asked the same people there.” Yasser explained it grinningly to his mother. Yasser only wanted to avoid meeting Silvi.

Her mother just followed Yasser's wishes, because her mother could not do much, all Yasser's busy with school was completed by Yasser himself, she forbade her parents to help her enrollment, Yasser said, he did not want to trouble them, according to Yasser, his parents were quite tired of their work.

“Kakak ready to continue yes, Ummi bathein adek first, later ready to see the announcement, we go to the store to buy uniform brother,” Umminya Silvi said to Silvi.

Silvi is looking for her name, “S S S letter S where is the letter S?” Silvi muttered as she continued to search for her name, it was a bit difficult to find it, because the name written was not based on the alphabet, still random letters.
