Valuable Time
First Day
Georgina Geraldin is a beautiful, friendly and kind woman. He was born into a simple and wealthy family. She has two brothers, one sister and one sister. Her father was Hermawan a construction worker, while her mother Renata mother was a housewife who took care of all the affairs of the house and sometimes made snacks made of sweet potatoes.
"Gege...!!!" that's the nickname of Georgina Geraldin, the fourth of five children. Gege turned his head towards the voice that came calling out to him. It turns out that Giona Giovani, Gege's older sister who is familiarly called Gigi.
"Well, what's wrong?!!" Gege flicked his steps and looked at Gigi.
"Later at school if you want snacks, mintak same brother well. You know, there's no little money."
"Daddy brother." Gege answered briefly continued his steps and greeted the father who was sitting back and enjoying a cup of coffee.
"Gi, this is the sweet potato cracker don't forget to bring. Mother make 50 packs for you and 25 packs for your adek." Mother Renata who came from the kitchen.
"Yes bun, we're going to school first." Kissing his hand, Gigi said goodbye to his mother and brother.
Behind Gigi, Gege follows what his older brother does. "Assalamualaikum Bah, Bun." Say them both almost simultaneously.
"Wa'alaikumsalam nak." Abah and Mother returned their greetings.
Gege and Gigi go to school on foot, because the distance of the school and their house is quite close. In just 10 minutes they will reach the school they love.
"Ge you're happy, today is your first day of school." Gigi asked her little sister, as they were taking a leisurely walk to school.
"Ge was very happy, because Gege was finally able to enter the class. Meet new friends, sit on a chair and write on a desk. Hehe...No need to hide behind the window." With a sweet smile shows a small tooth.
"Haha..." Gigi laughed crisply at the words of her sister, with her cute style and adult-like but very adorable way of speaking.
"Good, you have to keep the spirit up and get a class champion. Okay...!!!" timpal Gigi advised and encouraged his sister.
"OK brother..." Gege answered briefly while stepping us small while carrying snacks made by their mother.
Before entering school, Gege always followed his brother to school. Gege would secretly look at his older brother who was studying from outside the window holding a book and a pencil. When he learned to write, Gege would write his book. When learning to read, Gege will follow from the outside. Even so, Gege never made the teacher who was teaching his brother's class angry. As much as Gege could not make a fuss, he knew he was causing trouble. Then his brother will be scolded by his teacher. Those were the days that Gege had done before entering school today.
Arriving at the school Gege went straight into the classroom with an excited spirit he took out the stationery that he would use.
"Good morning kids," a teacher entered the classroom with a very sweet smile. Her name is buk maya, the homeroom of Gege.
"Good morning buk guruuu...!!!" Answer the children in unison.
"Before we start, let's get to know each other first. So who wants to come first...?!" the teacher looked at the children of his students who were sitting sweetly on their respective benches.
All the students just silently heard the words of the teacher, no one dared to answer let alone advance forward. After a few seconds, Gege pointed his hand and advanced forward.
"Hallo all, my name is Gege. I have a hobby of reading. My goal is to be a doctor. Thank you." Thank you." Gegepun immediately sat down after introducing himself.
Seeing Gege who had appeared first, the other friends followed in turn.
The first day of school Gege met many new friends. All his friends are very good, at school Gege a lot of new lessons. Writing, reading, doing numeracy tasks and performing in the future solve the problems given by the classroom teacher. Because Gege really likes to appear forward, without being asked to the same teacher then he will immediately point his hand. Complete the task easily, then sit back to his place sweetly.
The school bell rings indicating the time to go home from school. The children all ran to the exit. There is a chase, there is a leisurely walk while joking, there is also a person who just follows from behind while lowering his head.
Gege walks cheerfully out of his class, while Gigi is still at school. Because their lesson hours are different. Gege school only until 10 noon, while his brother Gigi must be at school until lunch.
"Sister I go home first well," Gege said when he saw his older brother Gigi who had just dropped out of class at break time.
"Yes, go straight home well don't go anywhere and be careful on the road."
"Both my brother..." Gegepun continued his small steps walking towards the school gate.
The distance from school to their home is not too far, just 10 minutes by foot Gege to home.
Arriving at Gege's house immediately changed the school uniform with home clothes. The atmosphere of the house was very quiet, because Gege's parents were not at home, they worked outside the house. When there is no building project, then the brother and mother will go to their small garden that is not far from the school Gege.
After lunch, Gege went out to play with his friends. By late afternoon he was back home completing his homework.
At home Gege does not have a bathroom, well or water source that can be used to clean. So he had to transport water from a neighbor's house in front of his house.
"Steh, I take water and tea" said Gege while holding 2 buckets in his hand.
"Yes, take it." said the man who had a house that was a relative of Gege.
Gege drew water until all the buckets were full. After he finished transporting the water, Gege further washed the dishes and swept the house. While the brother who was at home cooking water and rice. For the side dishes have been prepared in the morning by the mother Renata.
"So let's go to the river, I'm done with my work."
"Well, brother, get a change of clothes first."
After doing their homework, they continued to wash their clothes and bathe in the river near their home.
"Bring buckets well deck, water place." Brother bring the laundry."
"Daddy brother."
Until at Sungai, Gege immediately filled his bucket with well water made on the river bank. This water is used to drink after they are cooked to boil.
In the evening Gege and the family will sit together in the family room while telling stories and listening to stories from the father who is usually called abah. Abah likes to give advice to her children, in contrast to their mother. He is very chatty and has a high tone of voice. So when he spoke it sounded like he was angry, but it was not so. 😅
Gege is very close to Abah compared to his mother. Many say, if the daughter looks like her mother then they will often fight. That's how it is, Gege is often noisy with the mother. Even the things they care about.
"How was that school...?!! First day in is it good?." Ask the Abah to his beloved son.
"Of course, Gege met a lot of new friends. Even Gege appeared in front of the bah. Gege answered all the teacher's buk questions correctly. Who was it, my son." Gege answered smiling broadly at his father and not forgetting to flatter his beloved father.
"Haha..." Everyone laughed at Gege's words, and was proud of the little bawel that always made a scene at home. Although Gege's house includes a child who is baffled and very jolly, but basically he is a shy child out there. Especially if you meet new people. The first day of school is over.
