The Elbow of Life
persists

on the day before dusk Roni and Ikbal had come home I took out a doll gift that I bought I gave to Aira

when he wanted to go home again, he hugged me and said

'' thank you for taking my best friend ''

mom and dad told me to take Aira home because she was here by her dad

at dinner I thanked my mother for welcoming my friend so much that Ikbal said to me

'' wah besides being famous your mother is also very good '

fortunately, they did not know that the shop next to our house was the mother's workplace

all this time I didn't reveal what my father and mother did so that I would make sincere friends with me

Tampa looked at the material

'' Alhamdulillah, I am so full '

'' yes, you just rest in the room said my mother

'' ah hingga ko Bu I will help wash the dishes this time ''

I insist on helping mom while mom just wants me to

I get used to doing homework so that when I go to town for college I won't feel confused about something like that

when we are finished as usual, we will chat in the tv room

when my phone rang my login message open I saw a message from Aira hugging a panda Gift doll from me with a message

'' thank you for the gift '' with 🤗 emojis

'' the space I didn't give my best friend🤗''

I answered the message

I stepped my foot into the room to start looking at my store's earnings for the month because the day after tomorrow I'm going to visit the city

when sleepiness came to me I covered my body with this very soft blanket began to close my eyes to rest my tired body

and prepare this body for a better tomorrow

because last night I slept a little night so today I was late to school did not have time to eat breakfast made by my mother I can only drink a glass of water in a hurry I put forward the vehicle I'm heading to Aira's house to pick her up

when he got there, he was escorted by his father

maybe he thought I wasn't picking him up today

so Aira left with her father

fortunately, the school gate was not closed, it was a sign that I was not too late to park my vehicle in the parking lot for students and run into the classroom

'' uh uh '' I think my heart beats harder because it's running good that the teacher hasn't come in so I'm not caught too late

'' Anna Tumben once you came late Aira patted me on the shoulder from her stool

'' I'm so it's over last night I stayed up replied I still with a big breath

'' I'm sorry I didn't get to pick you up ' I said to Aira

'' ah hingga ko but next time may I come with you again ''

'' of course '

not long after the mother teacher entered our class following the lesson in a quiet voice

as usual if out playing me and Aira must be to the school cafeteria ordering something somehow at the end of this I really like eating meatballs yes every to the meatball menu canteen I definitely order the taste meatballs are chewy savory sauce added sauce sambal and eaten when hot it is a food that I think is very delicious

when I came home from school I asked Aira to come home together like I said in class

time showed at three o'clock I was still in the bookstore with Aira before her I had told mom that I was going home a little afternoon so she wouldn't have to worry about me

'' Anna, are you going to town again this week ?''

'' yes of course and tomorrow I will leave

'' what is the matter of tumben once you ask about this Aira

'' ah there's nothing Aira said while shaking her head like a child

'' do you want to leave something with me ?''

'' it's not that I can't if I come with you this time ''

said Aira with a brick-styled tone

'' of course it is possible and we have not been to the city together for a long time

all right let's go home

tomorrow I'll pick you up at your house

I paid to the cashier and also the book Aira picked up during the time I ran the store Dad and Mom never wanted to take a penny from the sale so all this time my pocket money from my own work even though like that father always wants me to manage sales well

although I still sit in High School, I have learned a lot from my life so far

on the way home I saw a cake figure so I decided to pull over my bike and go in and buy a cake I thought it would be good to eat cake when I came home

I finally got home

I went into the room and laid down my body for a moment before starting to do the task that the teacher had given me earlier

I closed my eyes for a moment to see me hear my bedroom door being knocked by my mother

'' tok tok ' Anna can mom come in ?''

I stepped my foot to reach for the door algae and let mom in

'' mom didn't see you coming did you eat ?''

'' Anna isn't hungry Ma'am just eat her ''

'' why do you love '

'' what do you do Mom today I just feel tired ''

I put my head on the lap of the mother who was sitting on the edge of the bed and spoiled the mother stroking my hair gently

'' it's been a long time since I didn't take it like this Mom ''

''' yes, mother also feels like that 'cause you are always busy with your school activities ''

'' mom is also late this is always busy with mom's work ''

answer me while sulking

mom pinched my arm and laughed seeing my behavior for me spoiled like this is an incredible happiness even though simple

I stood up to take the box of cookies that I neatly wrapped to my mother

mother accepts her and brings out the moment at the doorstep mother turns and says

'' let's be ready then to the back porch we have tea with Dad ''

and passed away leaving me

please help like yes 🥰🤗🙏
