The next morning Lies left for the bus stop between Niong, Imi and Dema, although they were both sad but they were still joking while waiting for the bus majoring in town B, half an hour passed and the bus waiting arrived.
"Lies be careful on the road" said Niong, Imi and Dema, hugging each other.
"You guys are the same, be careful, I go first! hopefully we can all be successful, Assalamualaikum" said Lis let go of their embrace and walked on the bus.
" Waalaikumsalam" replied Niong, Imi and Dema simultaneously.
In the bus lis sat alone because there were many empty seats, lies feel happy because they can immediately take the State exam again in Jakarta so that the opportunity for prola (sea project) can be realized immediately but on the other hand lies feel sad because they have to leave town C and friendsher best friend.
"I have to keep going must not falter, only one ladder that I managed to pass while in front there are still many stairs that I have to go through and it certainly is not easy, he said, I must make my resolve and maintain my principles, I can certainly go through them all because what is important to me is the prayers of my parents and the support of my brothers and friends who always accompany my steps, thank God you have made my way easier" Lies spoke to herself in her heart, until she fell asleep.
Arriving at his home Lies directly to the stall where his mother sells because there is no one in his house.
"Assalamualaikum" Lies said as she walked into the stall and hugged her mother.
" Waalaikumsalam" his mother replied as she hugged Lies.
"Ko went home and did not call first, if you know you want to go home will be picked up by the father to the terminal" said his mother again.
"Only a small child is picked up, Lies deliberately did not call first, let's surprise" Lies replied.
"Oh yes ma'am, where's father?" ask lies to her mother.
"Father just mosque, just go home" replied his mother.
"have you eaten yet? it just so happens that mom just cooked cobek genjer tuh, just lifted" said her mother.
"Assalamualaikum" his father came to say hello.
"Waalaikumsalam" replied Lies and his mother, Lies immediately salim with his father.
"Lies you're home? why don't you tell me if you want to go home" his father said while rubbing Lies' hair.
Outside the house especially in front of his friends Lies does not look spoiled, but if at home do not be asked, father, mother and brothers are very pampering him, he said, in their view, Lies is still his little girl and is still treated the same as before, sometimes Lies feel embarrassed especially if his friends find out, that is why he rarely brings his friends home if he thinks it is not important.
"Yes sir, sorry Lies came home suddenly, so did not have time to the wartel to ngabarin" replied Lies after finishing eating, but actually Lies did not want to bother the father, mom and her sisters because if they knew Lies was coming home, they would be busy, her mom would cook all Lies' favorite meals, her dad would wait for Lies for hours at the terminal, the brothers are the same, they will bring gifts for Lies, some clothes, some food, some food, not to mention his brother's friends who live in his house who are all considered the same father and mother because they come from out of town and for sure they will be busy pampering Lies.
Their affection is the biggest encouragement for lies, but it is also a burden for him because he is afraid to disappoint them, fear of not being able to return their good favor and that is why lies always hold firm to his principle of not dating first before finishing college, Lies was afraid of not being able to take care of herself and got carried away from the atmosphere because it was far from the old man, so if as for the man she liked back then, it was, he just wants to keep it in his heart and Lies hopes that the man will be patient and understand until he finishes college and achieves his goals then they will unite, they will be united, but of course there will be no men who can be as patient as that, at the age of the teenager who was pubescent must not be like that they want, they want it everywhere always alone, always alone, the road goes hand in hand, there are even those who are beyond the limits of reasonableness, so of course there is no man who understands the principle of Lies even considered Lies is stone, hard-hearted and has no feelings.
One person the****** that's what Lies considered special at the time and Lies gave the opportunity to him, but unfortunately he was not as patient and understanding as Lies hoped, Lies, at the end of the day he prefers to be with others who may be considered more easily obtained and can fulfill his desire as a teenager who is puberty.
It was that incident that made Lies fortify themselves by sticking to principles.
"Sir, ma'am, can you not be there later tonight there is a 2-person male friend Lies who wants to spend the night at home?" ask Lies at her orthodoxy.
"What are they doing in our house?" ask mom for an explanation.
"This is the story, ......" Lies recounted that he and his friend Bang and Adih had already signed an agreement tomorrow morning to go to Jakarta for the state exam, because of their home in the city of Tsk, then they will come to Lies house first which is located more strategically so that it can be jakarta once in the morning by train.
Eventually Lies' parents allowed Bang and Adih to stay and as usual they would be busy preparing all her needs from mother to prepare the meal until the father of the night prepared toast and milk for provisions because at 2 am Lies, Bang and Adih will go directly to the train station.
Although Bang and Adih sleep in the tv room but they are very happy because they are allowed to stay and treated well by the Lies family.
At 2 am Lies, Bang and Adih had left for the train station, while Lies' parents immediately prayed tahajud and prayed for his son, because they have been used to doing it since the first time when Lies faced exams or just a regular repetition of those who will be busy fasting and praying at night to pray for Lies.
Alhamdulillah Lies, Bang and Adih directly passed the exam without having to repeat again and they get a letter of introduction to the prola, which is, they split up there because Adih and Beng were going to his brother's house in the city while Lies went straight home to town B.
And this is the second ladder that has been passed through which is the beginning of the struggle Lies will go through with drops of sweat and tears with all the determination and mental steel that he will live without there friends beside him.
