There is No Need for Love

S2: High Spirit with Meylani

Morning air infiltrates into the bone marrow. Farhan really felt a very cold, like being in front of a refrigerator that was wide open, Farhan curled up like a boiled shrimp, it did not want to move, he said, but Tomy's hand forced Farhan to stand up.

"Yuk Far temple ..".

Farhan sighed fretfully. "Mandi ?".

Tomy laughed a little. "Come on, it'll be fresh".

Farhan was forced to participate too, although Farhan's shadow was immediately extreme, Farhan imagined it would freeze if in the water, had not touched the water alone Farhan did not know to describe the cold, let alone have to shower.

But, Farhan also had other thoughts, it was strange not to take a shower. So Farhan just follow the other steps that turned out to go to the river, until there, all immediately undressed and throw themselves, including Haris and Tomy.

But Farhan was still sitting on a fallen tree on the edge of the river, Farhan looked doubtful, now he even imagined a group of crocodiles that he saw last night, this is still the same river, the same river, do not let them be here too, Farhan shuddered to imagine it, so it has not moved at all.

"Come Far, this fresh". Call Tomy.

"Come, it's okay, there's no crocodile here". Connect Haris.

Farhan smiled wryly, Farhan was a bit surprised, why his uncle Haris seemed to know his heart, with a heavy heart and still afraid of fear, Farhan finally came down too, and rightly said Tomy, the water was cool, indeed, the water was cold, however, still afraid, Farhan did not want to linger long, he only took a short shower.

The show shower soon, all return to the halfway house, have breakfast for a while and then immediately go to the first destination, to the company basecamp where Haris works, he said, Farhan and Tomy are just mutually lyrical and equally head bobbing, camp conditions are quite concerning.

"They're here Tom ?'".

Tomy shook her head. "I can't imagine Far, they're amazing".

Farhan shook his head. "Finding that life is sometimes amazing Tom".

Tomy breathed heavily. "Come Far".

Farhan and Tomy returned equally shaken, the plantation workers who he said were being transferred the function of the forest was out of the ordinary, only using a fairly small old tent, which is not at all proportional to the number of those who must be accommodated.

Farhan and Tomy are equally convinced that the tent is not able to accommodate everything, that means there are those who sleep in the open, an extraordinary situation, Farhan continues to shake his head, he said, he who sleeps in the house is still cold, how to sleep in the open.

Feeling enough, everything moves back to another Camp, the conditions are almost the same, here only Farhan and Tomy know, if they are not the employees of the company as a whole, if they are not employees of the company as a whole, only part-time workers that even many come from outside the island.

"We go to school Frans".

The one Frans called was just a nod of the head. Farhan who accidentally put on a smile, he was eager to see the school where his brother and sister-in-law used to serve, so Farhan seemed so happy to hear about going there, Farhan wanted to see it in person, how are schools and education at this border.

Just walking about thirty minutes past a little, they had reached the school gate, Farhan had already wiped away his tears, his heart was so sick to see that completely unfit school building, he said, Farhan did not expect his condition to be like this.

While Tomy from earlier could only shake his head and throw his breath with all his might repeatedly, in disbelief with what he saw, Tomy's mind was quite sick because of it, very heartbreaking.

Basically, both are the same, Farhan and Tomy are equally unable to see the scenery in front of them, it feels unacceptable, how teaching and learning activities can take place with such conditions, such as, how education runs with the main facilities of this model.

The children ran around to see Haris coming, even the children were without hesitation holding hands, even Haris pants, they looked so carefree, men and women were the same, just like that, this scene increasingly makes Farhan and Tomy equally soft, even Tomy is not strong.

Tomy was glued to where he stood, turned his face, looked the other way, then occasionally looked up at the sky, Tomy was completely unable to see the child linger, Tomy was so hit, so hit, it turns out this is the state of the school here, on the same island as the island he occupied.

It turned out that the boy was already used to seeing Haris, every time Haris came, they knew that there would be a gift for them, so they without direct command scattered when they saw Haris entering their school complex, the face of an innocent and happy face that anyone sees will be eaten haru.

Farhan and Tomy who had been silent because of the scenery that made both of them unable to hold the day finally stepped back to follow the steps of Haris who was still inhabited by children closer to the school building.

After conversing with Haris, the Headmaster's gaze attached to Farhan, for quite a while, he even shook his head and played his index finger, then the Headmaster approached Farhan and Tomy.

“Your face is like no stranger to Ibu”.

Farhan smiled. "I mean Ma'am ?".

The principal seemed to be thinking. "As I've seen before".

Farhan laughed. “Maybe Bu Principal remembered my brother, Bang Asrul”.

The Headmaster immediately rounded his mouth, clapped his eel and chuckled and got closer to Farhan. “You are his sister Mr Guru Asrul?”.

Farhan nodded his head. “True Bu. I am Farhan, Farhan Syaukani, I am his sister Pak Guru Asrul, his sister-in-law Bu Guru Risda”.

“What ?”. The Headmaster's mother looked up. “Pak Guru Asrul and Bu Guru Risda already ..”.

Farhan nodded his head. “True Ma'am, They're married”.

The headmaster looked very excited, maybe if he was a little boy, had jumped up and was happy, he continued to smile widely and shake his head, as if he had just gotten a big gift that was unexpected.

"Mother is also convinced that Mr. Guru Asrul with Ms. Guru Risda has a relationship, they are familiar and supportive of each other".

Farhan returned a faint smile. "Ease Masyaya Mum".

As the conversation progressed, Farhan answered all the questions of the Principal Ma'am, all of them were certainly about Asrul and Risda. This time Farhan was sure, if his brother and sister-in-law were well received here, they also gave their best as well, proof that the Headmaster was not tired of his boss praising the two.

"Where's your phone Far, I'm the photographer, where".

Farhan smiled and handed her the phone. "You know what I want".

Farhan immediately poses with the Headmaster in various styles, sometimes Tomy also takes a selfie that shows himself. Until entering the classroom and for books, Tomy remained faithful as a cameraman for Farhan, without realizing it, had dozens of photos stored.

"Who wants to sing ?". Farhan raise his hand.

"I'm the Teacher".

Farhan though amused at being called Mr. Guru, looked at the child. "What's his name ?".

"I'm Meylani Mr. Teacher".

"Come onward ..".

Meylani came forward and stood beside Farhan. To align, Farhan had to squat. "Do you want to sing sweet boy ?".

Meylani looked a shy smile. "You sing Let's be excited".

Farhan's forehead was a bit wrinkled, he had never heard a song with that title at all, so he became curious. "Let's Spirit?, who's the creator ?".

Meylani still smiles shyly embarrassed. "Master Teacher Risda".

Farhan's chest instantly thumped, his heart beating even stronger. Farhan only nods his head, Meylani immediately sings, the song is followed by other children, they become a crowded singing

 energetically.

Spirit, we must spirit ...

Spirit, can't give up ..

Face everything with passion

Don't Dumb, Don't Be Afraid ... Let's Spirit.

Don't Be Weak, Stay Strong ... Let's Spirit.

Spirit, We must be spirit ..

Reaching the noble mind

Spirit, We must be spirit ..

Achieve a good future.

Learn, learn, keep learning ... Let's Spirit.

Learn, learn, keep learning ... Come Spirit.

Farhan's tears completely collapsed, Farhan's reflexes stood on his knees and hugged Meylani so tightly, Meylani also hugged Farhan just as tightly, she said, Tomy who missed this moment also removed a fairly swift flow of water from the corner of his eye, Tomy continued to waste a heavy breath to relieve the rumbling of his heart.

After Meylani returned to her seat, the Headmaster came forward. "Children, this is Mr. Guru Farhan, this is the younger brother of Mr. Guru Asrul, remember Mr. Guru Asrul right ?".

Farhan lowered his head to reduce his tears, Farhan's heart pounding as he heard all the screaming saying yes. Still not long, of course, this child still remembers very well with Asrul and his brother-in-law Risda, Farhan was really cute, the spirit of this child really made Farhan hit.

Almost half the day they were there, Farhan and Tomy became impromptu Math teachers, the children also seemed very enthusiastic about following the lessons given by Farhan and Tomy, moreover, Farhan and Tomy not only stood in front, they also came to the children one by one and taught him directly at their respective desks until they really understood.

The time has to go, children must also return to their homes, learning hours are over. Farhan and Tomy looked at each other, just as smiling and as shaken as their heads, as if they could not believe what they had gone through today, a very extraordinary event, very impressive.

"I'm ashamed of Far".

Farhan was somewhat tickling. "Why Tom ?".

Tomy shook her head. "I am one of the people who often protest at schools because they consider facilities inadequate. Look at them Far .. their spirit". Tomy again wiped her tears that flowed back.

Farhan grabbed Tomy's shoulder. "What can we do Tom. We are grateful to be born and raised in the city, the problem is we are not people who have the ability to break it down friends, we want to say what".

Tomy nodded his head. "Then Far, but my heart aches to see it".

Farhan breathed heavily and similarly snorted. "Right Tom, it hurts".

"I thought about raising funds to improve the facilities here, maybe it can, even if it's only small".

Farhan gave his thumb. "Let's Tom, I'll help you".

Tomy smiled and joined his thumbs up, then the two stepped back, now both of them are embracing each other's shoulders, walking slowly while talking about efforts that can be done to help children at the border, especially educational facilities.

Haris and his friends who heard Farhan and Tomy's words shook their heads and similarly breathed heavily. In the heart of Haris feels proud, he is happy to have a nephew who has a high sense of caring like Farhan, Haris only hopes, in the future Farhan can be a successful person.
