The night began to come, as I stared at the loose sky that began to look beautiful thanks to the sparkling stars. The cold yet soothing night wind, accompanied me who was alone.
I remembered the man's gaze, the DIAN SUSANTO this afternoon. Is it true that she looks at me like that because she likes me, just like Arini and Maya said... Or because he saw me steal?
I'm so restless.
' surely he saw me' I murmured inwardly.
' But Arini said she always looked at me for almost a month.
' Why have I never seen him ? ' continue this inner conjecture is not clear.
" Why haven't you slept? " my mother suddenly showed up and I was shocked.
" Hehe... Not yet sleepy mom, mom herself hasn't slept. Is mom not working tomorrow? " i'm flipping mother's question.
" So mom was asleep, mom woke up because of pee. Trus I saw your door open. So mom came straight here. "our house is like a school building so every room has access to a private entrance, including my room.
" oh... I just saw the stars, Mom. Tonight the sky is clear . "
" Tumben, what's up ? " it seems like mom is curious.
" there's nothing, ma'am "
" there's nothing until you can't sleep, just keep looking at the stars. You're thinking of a guy maybe... "
" huh... This mother is. Where might I think of a guy anyways I'm still a class 2 smp ma'am, fat again where there's a guy I deserve to think about... "
my mother laughed at my confession
" yes who knows the guy has cataract eyes so can't see you with clear "mom's jokes sound annoying.
Ah but why do I feel annoyed to hear mother's jokes, besides I also do not care if you want fat cake to gembrot cake, bodo very.
" what's working tomorrow? " i asked you another question that you haven't answered.
" yes, tomorrow I work in the Mbah somat garden. She had mom spray ants on coffee trees, lots of ants, he said.. "
" if father still has not worked ma'am "
" yes, don't know that your father is still able to get a job as well, he said no one bargained, whatever, don't know the mother "
" oh that, yes it is "
" you hope to understand yes, mother blm can love pocket money, just make a good meal still can" said mother with a slow voice, sounding very painful to the heart. Maybe my mom wants to give me whatever I ask, just like any other mom. But circumstances do not support it. Mom's dad...
My mother named Sumila was actually very fierce, especially if she was scolding us for her children. But sometimes my mom looks so pathetic... Ah mother, thank you for always trying hard for us.
While my father named Jatmiko the man is gentle, friendly, cheap smile. But rarely work. It is even more common at home to cook, wash clothes and other IRT jobs.
As I wish my father was working to build people's houses. People often call it a HANDYMAN.
I don't know why, but I rarely see you working...
" yeah, it's been a night we better sleep yok." said the mother later.
" what time is it, Mom ? "
" it's almost 1 p.m "
" uh boy .. "my mother did not continue her words and passed into the house through the door of my room.
I immediately got up and set foot after my mother.
I closed the door and locked it, took a cup of chalk, drank it and then went to the room to sleep. I saw that the roommate in my room was already well asleep. I lie down next to him and go to sleep.

I can't wait to go to school this morning. After breakfast two dishes of rice with vegetables and side dishes that cover the entire surface of my plate, plus a glass of warm tea that I always prepare. I say goodbye, too.
" sir sir, pamit ma'am, assalamualaikum "cried us both after greeting our parents.
" waalaikumsalam "answer bpk and mother together.
Juwita and I are leaving soon, on foot of course. Our school is not far from home.
The elementary school where Juwita school is only one alley away from home, while the high school where I went to was on the edge of the village which had to pass a few blocks from home.
Shortly after going through elementary school, I met my two best friends who were waiting at a crossroads.
" have you waited a long time for me? " i said, taking them on foot.
" yes, it's good.. Good thing today is not picket class, so suantai " said Arini
" thank God you don't have pickets, so don't hurry." I said again.
" nang-te "maya says by flipping the vocabulary.
we walked along joking around with any laugh. We hardly ever fight any problems, even if there is one of us who crave for sure we will try to persuade him until the snack is gone.
the three of us got to know each other during student orientation two years ago. When we first became students at this school. We didn't think we were good friends until today. Even we aspire to be friendly and together at any time.
A heavy promise is not. Though we do not know what and how our lives in the future.ahaha indeed our thoughts are still very simple like children.
at the school gate we stopped and sat next to the security guard post, my favorite place to sit because the place was comfortable and cool. In addition there are large shady trees, there are also some plants in pots that vary j3nis flowers. Line up to form a fence towards the middle of the school yard.
I looked at the parking lot, saw so many bicycles parked. My eyes were focused on one bike in the same place where that guy named Dian was looking at me yesterday.
" geliatin what lo.. "all of a sudden Arini nudged my arm made me shocked.
" cycling is just another one there.." I jolted a little annoyed with Arini's question that is not qualified.
" halah.. at most nyariin who have the bike. "add tease I am this Arini.
" don't you know, you know "I'm being a hypocrite, when in fact the guess was.
" beneeer, I don't say the most... " Arini laughed to herself as she stepped towards her classroom.
" hiss this boy." I grunted annoyed tp not so sorry, because he was my best friend.
" let's go to the classroom, be sure to bell in "virtu said as he stepped into his classroom closer.
" well "I said follow Maya's steps.
The three of us were different, Arini was in 2A, I was 2B, and Maya was in 2C, right next to the parking lot.
