When Love Passes Home
Part V Cigarette chicken and broom sound
The chicken cigarette and the sound of the broomstick
rubbing against the ground makes Magnolia
open ones eyes. Three watt lamp inside
the room was still on and he could see
sunlight penetrates the wall of the board
her room.
What time is it? He should wake up soon. Exams
IPA takes place at seven past thirty.
His head felt heavy and Magnolia remembered,
last night Dimas mentioned that
body's hot.
Does he have a fever? Magnolia did not understand.
But when he tried to get up from above
bed, his eyes swirling.
Magnolia then closed her eyes
left arm.
“Gue must go to school.” Magnolia told
himself. Strengthened himself to rise from
top mattress. It was bad and he
it does feel unhealthy. Her view
then it is directed at the small clock located
on a wooden bookcase near his head and
so surprised he pulled the small clock
then bring it closer to the ear
rightist.
“Yes Allah, half hour nine.”
He had been unconscious for that long. Three
consecutive days of studying late
with Dimas and after school he must
selling in the market, making his body
crumble. There's no way he'll be allowed
enter class. He has to shower and
be prepared. The trip to school is just
ten minutes. But he was sure when he arrived
it's nine o'clock. As of
rather than jumping into the bathroom to
get ready, all he does is
put the clock back in its place
rubbing the face with both hands and
looking at her blanket-covered feet
with a bad feeling.
“Mamas must be angry if he finds out I'm not coming
UN today.”
Magnolia breathed. He actually
not too excited to take the exam and
when he wakes up like this he doesn't
feeling lost at all. From the beginning he
I had planned not to continue
school to High School level, other than no use, but,
he was confused to divide his time between
selling and gaining knowledge. Besides, he's already
know the entrance fee of SMA 1 Jakarta Raya is not
cheap. In addition to building and
registration, he must prepare
some money for the purchase of uniforms and
textbook.
Even his head had already hurt before him
I can imagine how many millions of dollars
must be issued only to be a student
the most prestigious school in the capital.
“White I can not buy prestige especially
school there.”
Magnolia then tried to rise
from mattress. If he hadn't gone to school today,
it means he has plenty of time to
selling.
“But my body does not feel healthy.”
Magnolia sat back down and now she is
hugging the knees because it feels more comfortable
when he does that. She's already
no more school and thought
going to the market is much more tempting
rather than staying in the room. No
there's someone at home right now. Kezia and Dimas
I left first, and so did my mom
who had to go to work early in the morning.
“Drink paracetamol only, deh. That was me
shower and go directly to the market.”
After stretching his hand muscles, he,
Magnolia took another breath. She must
get up and shower. Market conditions
he was busy and he still is
have ten dozen laps for sale today
these.
“Mandi, Yes. Sell it first today. Let's just not
try exams. I also did not graduate.”
Ignoring his still spinning head,
Magnolia braced itself to rise and
open the room door. He doesn't need to
open the window and let the wind
go in. The boards in the stall are reot
and get a little direct air
enter, and so does the light. After the shower
he just had to wear a shirt and jacket, and then immediately
go awayl. She doesn't have to dress up pretty like
Kezia, other than because he doesn't have
makeup equipment like Kezia's, will
it is very strange to sell in the market
the flashy makeup.
As soon as the door opens, Magnolia
I saw my mom talking to Laura
tasting due to the distance between the room and the fence
about ten meters. At the same time
mom finished talking to
his neighbor and when he turned
found her stepdaughter frozen in front
his room was holding a thin towel and
the clothes he will wear later.
“Oh, The Princess just woke up. It's delicious, really,
yep. Alive, wake up again.”
Magnolia sure, mama's actually gonna
spewing out a lot of meaning for him
other than what he just said. But mama
I chose to leave him alone and
straight to home. Even so, though
just speaking in lines, words
just made Magnolia feel a little
wistful.
“Mama does not work? Mama sick?”
Mama did not answer and replied to the girl
with a slam at the door. He's very obvious
anti-hearing or replying
attention from his stepson. But, compared
the words before, the deeds of the mother
just now made his heart even sadder. Him
just trying to ask the news
the response was less pleasant.
Fortunately, he never entered
all of my words and attitude went inward
hearts. Who can hold back feelings
like my mom is doing now? Live
with the son of another woman
while her husband left
himself forever. If that happens
with himself, he certainly did not
can be as strong as Mom.
“It looks like a healthy mom.” Magnolia talk
with himself. She then
closed the door and rushed towards
bathrooms. The market is waiting
his arrival and he cannot waste it
stay longer at home.

It was past two o'clock when Jajang
calling the Magnolia
giving change to someone
purchasers. The girl looked towards him with
the squashed eyes resisted glare and heat
the sun is still hot even though it is past
midday. After the buyer has moved
go and she says thank you,
then Magnolia returned Jajang's call.
“Why, Bang?”
Jajang gave the code with his hands
his right and Magnolia followed directions
the man's hand. As soon as he found
dimas figure with CHAMPION SMANSA uniform
his pride walked towards the entrance
market, his smile expands.
There's Mamas. Had she eaten yet? I was just
buyin chicken noodles.
Magnolia was excited to see the arrival
his brother immediately ran for a small
greeted it. When many brothers and sisters
not so with Magnolia
and Dimas. He loved his brother very much.
But, not only to Dimas, Magnolia as well
I love my mom and Kezia
even if they never
think of him as much as he loves
them.
"Mamas, back yet? Have you eaten yet? Earlier
Yay…"
Magnolias stopped talking so far away
fifty centimeters left. Haven't
he had seen Dimas' face that serious
all his life, even when he was angry
even if. His eyes were sharp, as if
he swallowed his sister round.
"Eh, why?" Magnolia confused at sight
the face of the brother. He hasn't asked yet
again, Dimas was already making a sound, with a tone
the cold makes Magnolia so great
scared, "Go home now!"
Magnolia did not answer. Right hand
even being forcefully pulled by a handsome young man
those and Dimas who already knew the position
magnolia's bike dragged her sister without
look around and care about everything around.
"Mamas, Yaya's hand hurts. Yaya can walk
by yourself."
Dimas still did not answer and he was the same
it doesn't matter, that moment the body
his sister is still not strong, his body temperature
still high, but, Magnolia remains reckless
selling. Which is in his mind at the moment
just one, his beloved youngest brother has been
disappoint him.
Very very disappointed.
