The Other Side of the Tomboy Aira
Chapter 2 Choice. The Hard
Then after teaching Aira to prepare her textbook for tomorrow.Then pray Isya and after that Aira went to sleep.
Roosters crowing each other.
The sign of dawn has come and Aira also woke up to pray and did not forget he also woke the kaka.
" Ra is awake" said the mother who had brought vegetables to sell to the canoe.
Because that's how you make money to help your father .Almost every day the mother traded vegetables to the houses of the people on the edge of the river in the timber company.
" Ra has woken up "mom's reprimand.
" It's already ma'am but Aira wants to pray first yes b.u, then help mom" said Aira
"Yes" said the mother who transports vegetables.
After the completion of the prayer Aira helped the mother as well as the brother.Both children are diligent. They are not shy or ashamed to help their mother. After that Dera cooks breakfast agat the mother had breakfast before leaving to sell and also for Aira who will go to school.
So that the power is filled because the school is on foot.
After finishing breakfast, the mother went to sell using a small sampan with the next door neighbor. By paddling a boat to the house area on the edge of the river near the wood company.
Aira village which is in the far corner is very
far from the city. the deepening village only has water boat transport fan Speedboat. water .Which became the road to the city.But for Aira his village is very comfortable to live in. Because the air is clean and the soil is fertile.
After breakfast with Aira, she escorted her mother to the boat. A welcome to go to school
" Ra learned diligently yes son" said mother when she was about to go to sell.
" Yes ma'am, mother is also heart-hearted" said Aira.
After the mother's boat left, Aira went home to take a bath and changed clothes..Then leave school as usual by walking further than the first SD. That's an increase of 20 km on foot. But it did not matter for Aira who demanded knowledge for her future.
.........................
The day changed quickly did not feel Aira was just waiting for the results of the third grade exam .
" Ra father and mother can not send school to the city son but if you want to work it does not matter" said the mother who does not have fees for the school Aira .
Because the brother was the same only school until Junior High. Because the village there is no high school and there is only in the big city.And tonight when gathered father and mother also agreed Aira can only send Aira to school until here.
" Aira has a plan for what she wants in the future "ask the father "to Aira.
" Can Aira go over to the city pa, ma'am " said Aira.
" Do you dare to "ask the father looking at the youngest daughter.
" Aira dares to pa bu Aira wants to find a complaint in the city of gratitude to be able to go to school again" said Aira gave a reasonable reason.
" But remember Ra, if you go to town never tell anyone your little name or your grandfather's name is " said the father who was worried because he was afraid that the princess was in danger
" What is pa" said Aira
" Yes for your own safety, son, you must hide your original identity for the good of yourself and our family" the father explained.
" So Aira can't tell anyone else and also a close friend pa" said Aira inquiring in full detail.
"Yes" said the father
" So this slama people don't know Aira is Naira pa" said Aira astonished who didn't know what her father was hiding.
" Yes so don't ever mention your name by your real name you understand "the word father is full of emphasis.
" Yes pa Aira promises "said Aira full of question marks but she must obey her father and mother.
" And never mention your grandfather's name "just keep it here" said the father to his chest
" Yes pa" said Aira again.
" Indeed why the heck pa " said Dera who is confused why his father and mother hide their identity even changed their new name.
" Someday you will know, the father cannot explain it now" said the father breathed a rough breath.
The mother was silent because her husband knew a lot about what was happening. So mothers who don't know much don't want to make another excuse because they know everything must be hidden for the good of their little family .To be safe is not like the old grandmother Aira who was killed by the enemy, and until now the sister was still with her uncle Aya hiding because they were separated.
" Then how Aira can kekota pa, if he uses another identity "said Dera confused.
" That identity has been replaced Aira's original father did not mention it, no one will know "the father explained.
" So we all changed the name ma'am, pa" Aira said confusedly
" yes" said the father staring at Aira's face.
" Then you will remain in the city after graduation" said Brother Dera.
" Yes, the same parents have allowed " said Aira.
" It's up to you father not to forbid but remember, be careful out there because many enemies will target you" said father reminded Aira .
" Yes ra , and the family secrets we keep let no one ever know " said the mother added.
" Good ma'am pa, Aira promised to keep ourselves and our family secret until death" said Aira promised.
Father and mother breathed a sigh of relief . Because Aira's a child who is easy to understand and trustworthy. But for Aira this is a very difficult choice. But he must do it for his own good.
Finally when graduation day arrives .Aira was looking for people to go to the city to find work.
Aira hopes it can be a stepping stone.Karna if he continues to be in the village he can not realize his dreams and ideals.
Aira was determined to be in town
ready to take all the risks.
Aira who accidentally met her neighbors from the city also offered work to Aira .who returned home for work leave.
"You sure ra want the city, your father and mother allow "tanya bi Farah who came home from the city to work as a maid.
" Yes bi Aira has permission from her father and mother" said Aira sure.
" But there just need helpers ra, do you do not pa pa work as a maid " said bi Farah.
" no pa pa pa bi is important halal" said Aira firmly
" It's good that aunt leaves next week so there's time to take care of your letters and diplomas" said bi Farah.
"Yes bi trimakasih Aira pamit first yes bi "Kara Aira retreat home.
" Yes the heart" said bi Fatah who looked at the back of Aira pity for wanting to work
" Ra, it's a pity that you are still young to have to work and slam bones" said bi Farah
But let alone that is what can be relied on because Aira just graduated Junior High School even Aira can not continue his school again when working.
After a week passed, Aira also participated in bi Farah city by using a water boat. Deepening river transportation that has no traffic path to the city.
" Ra don't forget the message of father and mother" said the mother reminded her daughter Aira.
" Yes, Aira will take good care of herself and close the identity of Aira to be safe" said Aira explained.
" Yes son and your money from your work there ya "said mom.
" Huh....is up to you son, the important thing is that you can take care of yourself because the mother and father can not watch you" said the mother talking while breathing rough.
That afternoon, Aira spent her time
gathering family .Before leaving for the city tomorrow morning. The father and mother can only pray for the kindness of the princess who is very dear to the mother.
..........................
Tonight Aira cleaned her clothes to be taken tomorrow, Karna tomorrow morning Aira will leave for the city to wander.
Difficult choice indeed but Aira sure can because Aira besides smart and can science kanuragan, Aira is also smart and jolly.
" Ra here son" said mother calling Aira
" This is the savings mom raised

" Yes mom" asked aira staring at the mother's bead.
" Mom can't do anything but let the aira go .Find knowledge and work is enterprising and diligent. .biar aira can live more decent.l Mother just pray that you are lucky and be successful" said mother Iirih take off her youngest daughter tomorrow will go.
Aira also approached her mother.Lalu hugged the woman who was aging. With
warm hug.
