When Kalbu Tells a Story

6. Hugging in memories

Still remembered in my memory, remembering an innocent face had become the ruler of my life. Shamelessness I have not yet got at that time, yes-if not childhood moreover, a time that will always be remembered and remembered in my life even though changes have come. At that moment I remember once, where the sound of laughter adorned the faces of Father and Mother, a face filled with excitement saw her daughter play beat all the boys in her village.

I'm a little girl from the village who has a hobby of playing marbles, when all the little girls play dolls, play cooking at that time I play what men play, too, in those days the game of marbles became the first destination for boys to play.

But....

For me the game of marbles can also be played by girls, for example like me-I always beat boys in this game. There was even a man who cried because of his marbles I got. At that moment I was actually laughing seeing my male friend cry because of me, he was a crybaby clamer like a child underneath. He was 10 years old, but he was still a crybaby.

"Ep.. When I think of my childhood, I always want to laugh."

There is one more story that I will never forget at all, a story that will always be in my heart and mind. A story that is always imagined, which always echoes in my soul. That is when I went home in dirty clothes, while containing a lot of marbles in my clothes that were full of soil. Walking while prancing around, humming a little and then shouting to call Dad's name.

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Dad!"

"Look, Kalbu brought so many marbles!" I shouted from a distance of one meter.

After Dad heard my screams, Dad immediately stopped his work, at that time Dad was doing the job of cutting wood with small pieces. Dad immediately put the ax in his hand and cleaned his dirty hands with his clothes. At that moment the smile that Dad gave me was so sincere, at that moment Dad's smile was full of honesty, at that time Dad's smile was full of love and warmth.

"Kalbu! Come baby!" Dad answered my screams, I ran until the marbles in my clothes fell.

"Yes, Kalbu marbles are falling, Dad!"

"Finally, you're not careful little girl dad. " Dad pinched my nose.

Then Dad came back to talk to me, "Why are you so much of a boy's hobby? Look, your clothes are dirty. Pity the mother who washed your clothes, later I will cry because you are naughty. "

"Em, dad! You can't cry, you're good, you like to play with your marbles." I replied innocently.

"Keep, you don't think that dad is good?!"

"No-no, you're good too!"

"You're being naughty, yeah, " Daddy tickled me so much that I laughed because I was amused. I really want to laugh with my father again, now my father is calm to be with God.

"Dad, I really miss you!"

"Dad, I really want to see you again!"

"Dad, I really want to hug you back with my dirty clothes. But now I can't do that - just a memory that hugs me."

There is one word that I have always remembered until now, one word that makes my heart always eager to live life. The word is, "Daughter, if you are an adult, you must be a child who can live on your own feet and not be easy to believe in human beings. "

"Emang why?"

"Because, believing in humans will only give you disappointment. If you live because of someone else, I worry if later a revelation is present in your life, making you feel unsettled. You'll see what Dad means."

That's what I always remember until now, dad always told me to stand on my own feet. And it is not easy to trust others, because trusting others other than God will always give a sense of disappointment.

...🥀...

Upon my arrival at school, I saw three girls enter the school shed in a hurry, with a bag they always hugged. I was so curious about their suspicious behavior, Resa and her gang were the ones doing the suspicious act.

"Why are they so rushed into the warehouse? I'm so worried if there's someone in there that they're bullying. I'd better just go get close to them!"

I slowly approached Resa, peering behind the slightly open door. Before long I saw a smoke coming out, a familiar smoke, I suspected that they were smoking.

"It looks like I'm familiar with the smell of this smoke" I wrote.

"Don't they smoke!"

When I opened the barn door, they were very surprised to see my arrival, they tried to hide a pack of cigarettes behind his back. Yeah, it's useless that they tried to hide it, because I've seen their behavior. And they can not lie, because the smell of cigarettes is still thick smelled.

"Kalbu! Why did you come here?"

"Yes, what?"

"I came here because of the invitation to smoke cigarettes you smoked. "

"Cigarettes? So you're a real person, who smokes?"

"I know, if you smoke! Because I was peeping on you both."

Resa approached me, "Oh, so you've been sneaking around!"

"Yes, is there a problem for you?"

"Yes, there!"

"What?"

"Karna you already know the secret of the three of us, if you take this aduin all to the principal. I'm gonna make your life harder, understand the slums!"

"But baby, I'm not going to keep this a secret. I'm gonna drive you all to the principal."

"So, do you deny Resa's orders?" ask Loli.

"Yes, your orders should not be obeyed!" i firmly.

"Fright song, sneeze at my threats!"

Janet's using Resa to make her angry, "Udah, Res! We just work together."

"Thickness too, about what yes!"

"You want to do me a job? You guys will never be able to. "

I tried to open the barn door, but Janet and Loli stopped me.

" Where are you going? You want to report to us?"

"Yes, I'll report you three."

"Please, if you dare to report us. Because we smoke in school, you saw us smoke cigarettes, right?"

"LET ME SHOW YOU HOW TO SMOKE!"

Resa opened the cigarette again, he lit the fire for the cigarette he was holding. Then that cigarette smoke he got it on my face.

"Now you are satisfied! Can see I smoke without having to peek behind the door, ah.... Silly and stupid girl! Who usually peek then reportin. "said Resa.

"Haha... She is a stupid girl, a girl who does not understand our nature" continued Loli.

"And now, it's your turn to smoke!" tell Jelita.

A smile of contempt came across Resa's face, "Geez, Jelita! Lo pinter is so. Why don't I think until then, it's exciting that this stupid girl smokes just like us."

"Yups, you just found out that I'm pinter!"

"Ah, already! No need to discuss to your pinteran, I've been impatient to see him smoking the same as us. "
