How sad I am

it did not feel like the day passed and the time to panic when it arrived today Anna became a student of kls 4

Anna and Aira left early in the morning because they wanted to have a seat in the front, because Anna did not like to sit in the back bench

as usual, they're taking fathers to school on Dad's motorcycle .

once at school Anna said goodbye to Dad and kissed his father's palm

'' study diligently yes dear '' said Father advising her

'' Yes Father, I entered, Anna replied

'' come Aira we have to have a bench in the front yes '' invite Anna while holding Aira's hand

once in the classroom they have seen all the benches in the front are filled

disappointedly Anna looked at Aira while saying

'' yes, everyone is sitting us late''

Aira did not look at her friend's face like that so she approached Ani who happened to sit on the front bench and said

'' hi Ani if Anna can sit on this bench Aira asked Ani

'' for Anna, of course I can ''I can sit behind here Ani said

'' hmm if Aira wants to dudu beside Anna I can sit next to Ani said the friend who was sitting next to Ani

''can it?'' sahut Aira's'

'' is it okay Ani ? ask Anna about it

'' yes no ko '' replied ani

they thanked Ana and my countrymen while sitting down Aira said

fortunately, Ani wanted to give her stool ''

Ani and her classmates already know that Anna and Aira are like brothers and at school they are always my fellow then Ani gives her bench, and , not only because it's especially Anna and Aira are always good to him so far classmates know them as friends who can be relied on when his friends are difficult to understand the lessons given by Mother teacher .

before the teacher started teaching, he introduced himself first and said that it was good to see the students arrive on time .

'' before starting the lesson the teacher's mother passed on her students one by one so that she could get to know them and continued by praying together led by the class leader.

as usual, the day passed by Anna at school was very enthusiastic about the break bell rang Anna out of class and did not expect her father to approach with the teacher

'' Anna you can take your bag said the teacher

Anna was confused, and asked her teacher's mother

'' why ma'am''

but even his father answered

'' Anna's mother entered the puskesmas said her father

Anna is shocked by the tears she gets into class taking her bag

she asked her father why she was sick

'' it's a pity later Daddy divorced '' at this time we have to go to the puskesmas ,

'' it's good that Father Anna said goodbye to her teacher and Aira

worriedly Dad drove his motorbike to the health center, Anna could only hold back her tears from dripping, she did not want to see her Dad worried about her when they got to the health center Dad directly asked the nurse and looking for the whereabouts of a beloved wife

'' The father's mother asked Anna to her father while walking towards her Mother

'' Mother Mother why can't ko like this Anna's tears break her tears can't she hold anymore

'' I love waking up we are here ''

' the husband's father '

' then you can come with me for a minute '

'' the doctor wanted to talk to my father'

Dad followed the nurse while Anna stayed by her mother's side, crying and holding her hand

' but doc, I don't know about the hospital in town Dad replied

' take it easy sir if the father is ready to sign we will refer the father's wife to the hospital in the city . said the doctor while presenting a form to Anna's father

without doubt the father immediately signed the form recommended by the doctor he did not want to procrastinate again for the health of his wife .

The father approached the son and the neighbor who took his mother to Puskesmas and said that his wife would be transferred to a hospital in the city

the neighbors could only strengthen Anna's father and pray for his wife's recovery Father left Anna's mother to the neighbors who were there and went home with Anna to prepare any items that should be brought to the house city hospital .

elsewhere at school Aira wonders what's with you why her father picked her up sooner

curious Aira ventured to ask the teacher who was with Anna's father earlier

'' Excuse me for asking, why did Daddy pick her up sooner ?

the teacher replied' said Anna's father had his mother rushed to Puskesmas''
