Chapter 8. Schoolwork Yuan.

Next day.

School.

Alin crouched down and looked at Yuan while grasping the two shoulders of his son before taking him off into the school grounds.

"Sturdy dear, sorry Mama yes yesterday Mama did not have time to see the Sturdy PR. How about Mama check her PR now?" tawar Alin felt bad, when he saw his son turned moody because he forgot to check his son's homework.

"It's okay, yesterday Mama was busy so never to look at Yuan's work. Let only Bu Hera check on PR Yuan," Yuan replied unwillingly to open his bag.

"Is that okay?" ask Alin to make sure he gets back.

Yuan nodded small. "Yes," she replied briefly.

Alin smiled. "Alright then, Mama will not force solidly to show her PR. The bell of the school sounded, the solid entrance ya."

Yuan nodded obediently and turned around to go inside the school, while Alin returned home, to take care of housework and make money until night.

Classes.

"Okay kids, yesterday's assignment please collect yes. And if anything's not done, you're done in class!" mother Hera's word to her students.

"Okay ma'am," obediently all the disciples and stood up to hand over their duties to the finished ones.

Ms. Hera seemed to smile happily when she saw the results of the writings of her students, although their language is still not perfect and the writing is fairly difficult to read, but for Ms. Hera, it was a pride for him.

Along with this, Ms. Hera asked one by one her students to come forward and tell them about the tasks they had done before their friends.

"Okay, who would dare to come forward and tell me the results of this essay?" ask Ms. Hera to know.

All the students were enthusiastic about raising their hands and cheering. "I'm Mom! I want to move forward!"

"Yes everyone please be quiet, I will call one-on-one" said Ms. Hera and all the students immediately sat down sweetly.

"Well, the first one to advance is Deri!" call Hera's mother.

Deri stood up from her seat and stepped forward to the front of the class, telling her who she admired so much.

"The hero figure that Deri admires is Mr. Ir. Sukarno, because Mr. Ir. Soekarno is the hero of the country as well as the first president of our beloved country" said Deri as much as possible he learned at home yesterday.

"Good job! Give an applause to Deri!" pinta Bu Hera gave a gift as a sign of bravery from one of her students and all of Deri's classmates applauded.

"Smart kid! Please sit down, Deri, thank you for moving forward!" exclaim Bu Hera then.

"Together Mother!" dalas Deri happy.

"Well, it's Ani's turn!" said Bu Hera pointing at one of his students.

Ani nodded obediently and advanced to the front of the class to tell the result of making it up. "The hero Ani admires is Ani's dead grandfather. Because Ani's grandfather was a hero who had died in the battlefield for the independence of the beloved Indonesian nation," he said in accordance with what his family had told him.

Bu Hera clapped her hands and asked Ani to sit down. "Good Ani! Please sit down."

"Okay Ma'am" Ani obeyed and walked back to her seat.

"The children of his late grandfather Ani were warriors, he was among the heroes who had sacrificed to liberate our nation decades ago. For that we must respect his merits and also the merits of other heroes. Do you understand?" ask Ms. Hera.

"Understand Mother!" exclaim them compact.

"Well, now who else wants to move forward?" asked Bu Hera continued.

All the children came back noisy, raising their hands, occasionally standing up and jumping happily. However, there was one child who did not raise his hand this time and that child was Yuan.

So great and so good for the nation.

Yuan just lowered his head and did not want to tell the results of his homework, for fear of being insinuated by his friends considering not a hero or important figure fragrant the name of the nation he made in his duty.

Bu Hera was so happy to see the enthusiasm of his students, but his gaze immediately turned to Yuan who suddenly turned moody and just sat quietly in a chair.

"Yuan," call Ms. Hera.

Yuan raised his tiny face, then bowed down again. "Yes ma'am" he said uninspired.

"Now it's your turn, go ahead!" pinta Bu Hera's.

Yuan shook his head. "No, ma'am" he replied.

"Why not? Go ahead, all your friends want to hear your story, Yuan." Bu Hera encouraged Yuan to dare.

"Yes just go forward, I'm the same Ani has advanced," said Deri.

"Yes, let's go Yuan!" pinta Ani chimed.

Yuan finally complied, then advanced forward clearly and faced his companions with a look of disbelief.

"The figure of the hero that Yuan admired was Mama Yuan herself," Yuan said hesitantly.

"Huh, Mi ama you?" ask the kids not to understand.

Bu Hera smiled and approached Yuan. "Kids, please listen to me for a moment. The figure of a hero is not only a hero who has died on the battlefield or a hero who has fought the invaders alone. But there are other heroes in this world who are meritorious, such as teachers. Even teachers got nicknames as unsung heroes."

"Similar to the figure of our parents, they are also heroes who contribute in caring for and raising their children, educating and educating us to be smart and so on," bu Hera explained.

"Oh so," said all the students to understand.

"Good! Now try to explain Yuan to all the friends, why did Yuan choose his Mama Yuan as a hero that Yuan admired?" said Ms. Hera asking as she sat back in her chair.

Yuan nodded and looked at all his friends. "The hero that Yuan admired was Mama, because Mama was kind and hardworking. He got up early in the morning to take care of all the family, while looking after his sister and looking for money. Every day Mama was scolded by Papa, even in her face until Mama fell down. But Mama never cried and always taught me to keep doing good and not imitate Papa's attitude."

All the children were silent, not that they understood Yuan's words, but that they were silent because they were confused by what the classmate had said.

"My mom at home was very chatty, but she never looked for money and could only nag if I was naughty. Papa also never hit Mama, even Mama who always beat Papa until Papa asks for forgiveness," said Deri.

"True, my mother also if at home just sitting around. But my Papa rides his bike every day for money and my Papa is not fierce" Ani said.

Bu Hera came back to Yuan and stood by his side. "Kids, what Yuan had told me up front was an example that a mother other than being soft-hearted, a mother was also capable of being as strong and firm as a rock. Therefore, we must always love your mother, respect her and be devoted to her and do not make your mother's heart sad. Do you understand?"

"Understand Mother!" all the students there.

"Smart kid! Good story Yuan, now go back to your seat" said Bu Hera smiling.

"Thank you Ma'am," Yuan nodded back. Then sit back in his chair.

"Good! Your duties have all been read and the results are very good, I am very proud of you all. Next Monday we will welcome mother's day, so today's lesson schedule we will practice singing" said Ms. Hera.

"Good Mom!" exclaim all the students there including Yuan.
