The Mate at the Beginning
Chapter 12 Thinking wisely
Usually go home from school Mita picked up ojek at the request of the mother. Starting today he tried to take public transport. It's nothing, it's not the same anymore. He had to save money for his survival considering the father as the backbone of the family is gone. While his brother Dani can not replace because he is still in college for the second semester.
Stinging heat, waiting for public transport to pass.
Tin.tin...
The sound of spontaneous motor horn Mita backwards even though his position has been sidelined. Who would have thought it was Ita.
"Mita.bareng yuk!" Invite Ita directly rejected by Mita feel awkward. Their house is not in the same direction that means the same as bringing Mita home not together.
"Let's not pa-pa." Buuk Ita's. Mita still refuses.
"Wait for the angkot." Mita answered briefly, continue to pay attention to the street in front of her.
"When are you?" Ask Ita, Mita herself does not know to wait until when. It's his first time. Hapal has not also ascended what angkot.
"Ok deh we joint gas money let me anther until home." Ita's proposal had to say so so that Mita would be escorted home. Pity if you have to wait a long time in hot weather. Mita nodded in agreement to directly piggyback at the back. Ita immediately propelled the motor.
Until in front of the house Mita down, handing the money ten thousand to Ita.
"It doesn't actually work like this. I'm just helping you." Mita shook her head in disagreement with Ita's remarks.
"You haven't worked yet so your parents' pity must be driving me home further burdening him."
"I thought so anyway." He replied, Ita pouted, not liking to hear Mita's words.
"Yes, he is..."
"Selitre gas that should be two or three days is not enough if you take me."
"Take it."Mita forced, putting money into Ita's palm.
"Ditumpangin aja very grateful to try if I buy my own motorbike must be expensive right." Now it's Mita's turn to persuade.
"It's been a big help to me."
Ita looked into Mita's eyes. Amazed by the content of Mita's head, can think wisely so.
"I'm proud of you." Ita got off her bike hugging Mita.
"Nerepotin anyways?" Ita.
"Suppose to make a moment of togetherness before graduating. Three more months, right?"
"He em. The terms I pay for the gas change."
"Agreed."
"Since this learning neng motor so if you need anything can go alone. No need to take notes from Dani." Ita's advice while wearing a helmet that was removed.
"God willing ..thank you." Ita replied with a nod.
"Be careful!" Mita's message, Ita replied to a nod.
"I'm saying assalamu alaikum..." Pamit Ita's.
"Greetings hall..."Reply Mita while waving her hand.
After Ita was invisible Mita walked towards the door of the house, put the key in the hole and then turned the key until the door opened.
"Assalamu..." Silence, that was the quiet that Mita felt when she entered the house. Previously not so felt because some days Dani at home.
Mita goes straight into the room forgetting her sad feelings or she will again dissolve in sadness and fall down in memory of her parents' death. He must try to get up so he can live his life.
Looking towards the wall clock, showing almost 2 p.m. He rushed to change his clothes, worship and perform dhuhur prayers.
After performing the prayer, Mita laid her body to the mattress to rest herself. But his mind wandered everywhere.
"Astaghfirullah's..."Mita got up wanting to go to the kitchen to fill her hungry stomach.
We open the hood of saji, empty. He forgot that this morning not shopping is just cooking in the fridge. It's obviously over. Mita scratched her head, dumbstruck because the money ran out.
Mita decided to drink a glass of water as a stomach booster. Then try opening the refrigerator who knows if there is a cake or what so it turns out there is not.
"Sabaar ya." Mita looked down at her stomach while stroking slowly.
