Three Hearts to Carla

episode 1

My name is Carla Amora Zahra, the 2nd of 3 children. I just graduated from junior high school (SMP) and just entered high school (High School). I come from a simple family. But I have high goals that I have to fight for.

Every day I have to wake up early, because the journey to school takes approximately 45 minutes. So I had to pedal a bike to get to school even if the bike tires were leaking I had to be willing to walk so I could get to school.

But I am still grateful that even though the economic condition of my family is not good, my parents still fight for the education of their children, he said, sometimes I am sad to see my parents struggle to work hard from morning to evening for their children to get an education and a decent life.

Once we were chatting over dinner together,

I started the conversation, "Mom, what if Carla doesn't have to go to school? Carla just wander to Jakarta, so that Carla does not have to bother Mr and Mother again to bear the cost of Carla's school for 3 years."

I shut up and looked at me but then said, "Your mind is short Carla. Do not think too far, your task now is to learn more diligently, so you can be a successful person and can make us happy as your parents. Putting you together is our job as parents."

"Yes Carla understands Ma'am, but Carla does not want to see Mom and Dad hard to keep because of hard work slamming bones for Carla's school fees." I'm back to chiming.

Then you connected our conversation.

"La, listen to what your mother said, we just want the best for our children's education. We do not want to regret later because we made the wrong decision. We just want our dream realized to have children who can get a decent education unlike us who are only elementary school graduates (SD) only. Like want to list the work of the manufacturer is difficult because it is obstructed by wisdom." Said the father while enduring the sadness.

"That's what your father said, once we could write and read it was grateful, boro - boro could go to school to a higher level, had finished Elementary School just a tremendous appreciation for us. Because at that time the economy was more difficult than it is now. And moreover, there used to be many brothers so they have to share with other brothers. Sometimes just eating is so grateful. So it is not hard to get a higher education. Mostly after graduating from Elementary School help parents in the fields, after which the ends of marriage." Answer mother.

"What part of your life would you like to work in Jakarta? The job was tired La. There comes a time when you change jobs to nyenengin Father with Mother." Said Mr. adding.

I was silent and thought it turned out that the condition of my parents was more concerned than my current condition, even though the economy of my family was not good but we could still go to school and not to lack.

My morning after waking up and morning prayers, I helped my mother pack wet cakes to sell at the market, after everything was done I took a shower and got ready - ready to go to school, she said, so every day.

I was alone with both my parents. After that, I left the house with my old bicycle and went to school.

I stopped in front of the mosque in my village waiting for my best friend to leave together. Yes, I have a friend from Elementary School, we happen to be one school now. She was my best friend and she was Amanda Rachmawati.

"Hi La, I'm sorry I was late waiting for my sister because my mother was still in the shower." Sapa Hestia stopped beside my bike.

"Well, no, I just came anyway." My answer.

We finally got on the bike together. Along the way we talked a lot and joked.

Arriving at school we parked in a special parking lot for bicycles. Some of the students in my school use bicycles and some use transportation services. But many of them also carry their own motorcycles.

Today is my first day at school. And the first day for us new students implement MOS (Student Orientation Period). There are many rules that we have to obey, from using football socks with two colors, namely red and blue. Red for the right foot and blue for the left foot. Then the hair in the braid and tied using raffia rope, red and blue. Then who makes the sprain we have to bring food whose name is strange. We love Clue so that we can creatively find the food. It's strange what senior requests.

After a day of activities with the seniors, the break hour arrived.

"Ra you're gonna find the same ceremony fruit the cheese whirling with me huh?" Take Kiki my best friend.

"But what is the fruit of the ceremony? And what's the cheese turning?" Sahut Siti my friend Trisya.

"Yes senior emang nyebelin deh, our time is only told to nyari but not in love characteristic - how is it, yes?" Kiki spoke while holding back an upset.

"Yes that's right, seniors want to win on their own. Oppressing the underclassmen and taking advantage of the moment really know no, long before. Just entered the school was rich gini ribu." Huuff... Siti added who was also upset.

"Maybe they're revenge on us. Because I used to experience the same thing." Added Dian.

Finally I also answered, "We have been looking together to make it easier. But what do you think the ceremony is? As far as I know the ceremony is identical with citrus fruits? You guys ever see Upin Ipin, right? On the big day of China, Chinese people put oranges in front of the house for offerings. Do you think it makes sense?"

"Yes, too, I've watched." Dian agrees with my opinion.

It's different with Kiki. "It's not like an orange. Looks like it's just a play, to outwit us. In my opinion, the ceremony is the same as an apple. Like the army's apples, there's morning apples, noon apples, night apples, right? maybe what is meant by the ceremonial fruit here is an apple. Aren't you?"

"Eh yes also yes, true Kiki word seems to be true ceremony fruit in question here is the fruit of the apple." I agree with Amel.

"Keep the cheese spin what dong?" Ask Dian who is still confused.

Suddenly Siti replied. "I guess if this one thing I know. Because my brother and I buy this stuff so many times."

"What... Let's tell dong." Kiki Seru.

" Dikantin's a lot." Siti said with a smile because success made us curious.

" Siti just answered what was difficult. Don't make us curious dong." My answer is that I am starting to get upset.

Siti laughed happily as she saw us pouting waiting for her answer.

" You know Snack Rieches roll?" Siti asked by looking at the three of us.

We looked at each other and began to think, but suddenly Dian smiled happily because it seemed he had also found the answer.

" AHA yes you are right Siti. I've now understood, so what spinning cheese means is that Snack Rieches roll right? That's a lot of it." Added Dian.

Siti smiled and nodded confirming Dian's reply.

"Owell, that's anyway. That's a lot in the canteen." I said and Kiki at the same time.

"OK fix so we have found the two item names. For the ceremonial fruit that is Apple fruit and cheese spin is Snack Rieches roll. After school we buy together so that tomorrow it's quiet." Add me.

"OK", they answered in unison.
