The Sand Palace II
Raining
In the 1970s (Bilqis in his late youth was desperately searching for the word school).
In order to achieve optimal health, health workers are needed who can work professionally in accordance with their respective expertise. Bilqis read the outline of the banner of the direction of the large entrance gate.
The mortal world a temporary stopover. On a difficult day too long past the turn of the season. The struggle of life searching for a piece of knowledge paper is described as a living spectacle as a memory of the past and tomorrow. Kalu today he still said the desire to return home, meaning in Bilqis heart arising deepest regrets. Sadness, the burden between has not fully released the intention of separating from the family.
Grey day in the metropolis, Bilqis opens a letter from the principal. He was transferred to a health school. All the roles that contributed to it were none other than her cousin Rita's older sister. One year later, he will be in third grade. He also heard that the entry requirements as a prospective nurse student have a High School diploma.
Waiting for Rita's return, clockwork seconds pointed to the evening. She asked Nek Rina about her school transfer. Nek Rina's heavy coughing voice sounded strong. Bilqis watched him press his chest hard to catch a breath. Take the medicine and then help open each pill in the package. Rina's hand shook receiving the glass that moved into her hand.
“Thanks yes nduk.”
“Ya grandma. Grandma rest yuk, Bilqis help the way to the room ya nek.”
Finished taking care of Lina's grandmother, she walked into Riky's room. Bilqis breathed in the scent of smoke, in Riky's messy room a curtain rag burned up to half the window.
“Bi Sumi! Call the other bi! Riky's room fires!” bilqis shouted from the stairs.
Workers in royong's trusses put out the fire. Nek Rina was jolted to see her grandson's room burning. Seeing that Riky was not hit by the burning fire, she hugged tightly while crying. For Rini, money and property can be replaced but not with life. Rini took it all and prayed that her granddaughter would survive any disaster.
“Why can a fire? You play with fire in the room?” tanya Bilqis uses sign language.
Riky shook her head, but looked at Bilqis eyes with her glaring gaze. He nodded in acknowledgment, looking down. Afraid Bilqis was angry at him, he used apologetic sign language in addition to the gesture of uniting both hands. Bilqis offers her little finger, she asks Riky to promise not to repeat it again.
With time apart with you.
It's not that I won't express my feelings. “Arghh!” Bara scribbled the paper which he did not give to Bilqis.
The woman he had waited so long for the door of his heart to open for him. Understanding the toughest rivals is the older siblings themselves. Bara remembers the words of Bilqis who did not want their friendship to be seasoned in love so that it could be in their lives.
“I heard it, he's moving! Am I gonna let him go? We will definitely be far apart” murmured Bara tore off a piece of pink paper.
True, Bilqis has no right to determine his school. He had to accept where his feet rested to bear his name as a student. Early in the morning he knocked on the door, giving her a nurse's uniform and two empty suitcases. Today he is going to the dormitory, the newly opened high school health education line still makes a big question mark on his heart.
“I have not said goodbye to father , mother teacher and friends.”
Up ahead were students dressed in white complete with their meanings. Bilqis rushed out of the car, she ran into the line. The first day is too late. Mr. Yosep helped to lift the suitcase and the bag.
“Sorry to be here sir. Let me drive him inside."
“Good, I tipped non Bilqis yes pak__”
No cell phones, limited rest hours and alarm calls on small objects owned by each student. In each row, students must be fully awake cleanliness and neatness. The nurse's hat was not yet perfectly installed, Bilqis was called forward following the ranks of other students whose appearance was more messy.
“How can you be a professional nurse, in terms of cleanliness only the most important is not taken care of. Here again his nails look like devil's nails!” snapped wrongly the woman who was carrying a small long wood in her hand.
A woman shook until she fainted. Bilqis helped lift the blond woman whose hat was removed. In a white room, fresh air comes from ventilas whose windows are wide open. Bilqis pulled out his head, he thought why there was no barrier or thin net that bound him.
“What if someone accidentally falls?”his murmur pulled the window so as not to be too wide.
“Duh! So sick! Huhh really sorry I want to hear the word mommy. His teacher was so cruel!” as the woman who just woke up.
Bilqis heard further his much-devouring remarks. Babbling until the ridicule that was thrown made him a little careless.
“You have breakfast yet? If you have, this is taking a fever pill medicine to quickly heal” Bilqis thrust a glass of clear water and one tablet of medicine.
The woman pushed him down, he was very anti-medicine or smelled the scent. His nose was tightly closed, the woman just walked out of the room. The originally sympathetic Bilqis turned to be annoyed. He followed where the woman went. In one of the dorm rooms, he packed his things. Regardless of Bilqis, she changed clothes and grabbed her suitcase and her bag out.
“where are you going? Or maybe you're pretending to faint?” probing Bilqis glanced sharply.
He brushed off his hair, slamming his shiny red sling bag. The movement of folding both hands while pointing to the front of the door.
“Ya is absolutely right! I deliberately pretended to faint in order to find an excuse to leave this place of hell! what's the same thing with you?” it was high-pitched.
Seeing her rude attitude, Bilqis pulled her hair. He didn't care if a nurse noticed him. The woman was in pain, she grimaced as Bilqis let go. Bilqis thinks it has been in vain to have helped to ignore his first day in line. He just left the woman. Skipping the next study hours, students in separate buildings will be reassembled in the field in exactly fifteen minutes.
The cafeteria crammed, the sellers pulled each student's card to give a slice of each meal. Bilqis chooses one plate of noodles and a glass of cold sweet tea. He took the front position near the exit while watching the other students.
