SHEE

Loneliness has gone

At school, Shee's age is the smallest compared to other friends whose average age is one year above her.

Not infrequently they make fun of Shee

Lili : "Shee you are still small, you can't go to school you know"

She was just silent, she had no words to reply or reply, suddenly another classmate came, she pushed Shee while saying: "Go home!, you are still too young"

It doesn't feel like it's been a year, school struggles in kindergarten are full of stories. When all the names of friends are mentioned by their teacher, but not by Shee's name.

Eka: "Your name is not mentioned"

Via: "That's a sign you didn't go to class"

Lili: "Yeah, just go home"

Eka, via, lili: "Go home!, go home! go home!"

Again Shee was silent, Shee was too young to enter elementary school so the teacher did not allow her to go to class, when the next month the other children came to elementary school to enter their respective classes, Shee also came to elementary school.

Everyone entered the classroom, Shee outside alone had been waiting for quite a while, but no one cared about her.

Finally this little gril couldn't wait any longer, in front of the school Shee was crying, but everyone was still too busy with school activities, she thought why no teacher approached her, maybe her voice was still too low, finally Shee raised her voice, but still no one heard, he finally burst into tears and the idea he did worked, not long after, a teacher came out of one room and approached her, asked softly and patiently and attentively.

Teacher : " gril, why are you crying?" The teacher bent down while holding Shee's shoulders with light pressure.

Shee: "All the names of friends are mentioned and allowed to enter, but I'm not" Shee said innocently

Teacher: "Oh, so your name was not called?"

Shee: "Yeah.."

Teacher: "And you want to go to school?"

Shee: "Yeah....'

Teacher: "Okay now you can go home tomorrow you can come to school with your mom, okay?"

Shee: "Yeah..."

Buguru: "Now you don't cry anymore, and go home"

Shee do according to what the teacher said, little Shee came home from her own school, returned to her house which was only a short distance away.

Mrs. Keni today really makes time for shee, but she can't immediately leave her dormitory obligations, that's why she intends to go to school early in the morning at the same time school starts, after school she intends to go straight to the dormitory where she works.

Mrs. Keni walked to school holding Shee, on the way she said

Mrs. Keni: "Are you naughty at school, so they don't let you go to class"

Shee : " Teacher didn't say my name "

Mrs. Keni: "Then what about your other friends?"

Shee: "Their name are mentioned"

Mrs. Keni: "Then what did the teacher say, why was your name not mentioned?"

Shee: "I don't know"

Mrs. Keni : " Alright, you are now calm, mother will ask so that everything can be clear "

Mrs. Keni : "Dear, who is your close friend now? Do you have friends at school?'

Shee: "None"

Mrs. Keni: "You must have it, so that school doesn't feel boring"

Shee:"But they don't like me"

Mrs. Keni : " How do you know that, you are a good gril, beautiful and smart, everyone likes you, you just have to try to ask her what her name is, then invite her to play, surely she will be your friend"

Shee: "No!"

Mrs. Keni : " Honey, try as mother said "

Shee: "They are rough and asked me to go home"

Mrs. Keni : " The teacher will not allow all that is not good, you tell your teacher if they act unfairly, ok dear?!, besides that everyone has different characteristics, not all are naughty, right?? If you don't love the naughty, approach the good, understand honey?!

Shee tried to listen carefully to what her mother had to say, as if in the situation, the more excited she was to go to school.

It doesn't feel take long time to the school if do conversation along the way. Time so quickly leads them to their destination. They arrived at school just as the school bell rang and the children rushed from all directions to their respective classrooms.

In the teacher's office, Mrs. Keni sat on a seat and next to her two teachers accompanied her.

Teacher: "Yesterday, your daughter was crying in front of the school, when all the children were studying.

Mrs. Keni: "What happened why did she cry, she just told me that his name was not mentioned by the teacher while the other students were all mentioned one by one, then he was also not allowed to enter the class.

Teacher: "Okay, I will explain why Shee's name is not mentioned, actually Shee is still too young to sit in elementary school"

Mrs. Keni: "But ma'am, please reconsider, She has been following the kindergarten class diligently, indeed he is still too young, his hands have not reached his ear through the top of his head, even though other friends can, but that is not the size to enter elementary school, ma'am.

.

"Besides, Shee is already very independent and has a great will to go to school"

Teacher: "We have considered this, yesterday the principal who visited Shee, and she said to the principal that she wanted to go to school. From that the principal gave the opportunity for Shee to take a trial class in first grade"

Mrs. Keni was very relieved to hear that the school really understood Shee's strong desire, and finally shee's tears were not in vain, as well as Shee's arrival to school some time ago. That little gril had unwittingly struggled against his will.

Shee also attended elementary school like her other friends. Shee doesn't even understand what the trial school means, she just wants to be like other friends, go to school or have fun together.

School days were so much fun for Shee, it was really special what had happened, Shee was like having a group of three friends, they were both very nice, their names were Feny and Bety. Both of them are adopted children, as well as only one child in the family, just like Shee, besides that both are also from simple families whose lives are very similar to Shee. Shee as an adopted child and jer father has left and a mother who only works as a dormitory worker, how Shee's life is very simple.

After school, Shee felt a very striking difference, how lonely and lonely it was at home alone, sitting waiting for her mother, or lying down in the guest roam on her favorite long wooden bench.

Although tired, empty stomach and alone at home, lonely how complete all the shortcomings are but Shee lives it and all.

Finally shee fell asleep on the bench, sometimes her uncle who was beside her house came just to make sure whether Shee had come home or not.

And if she does then he will feel relieved and leave shee. It was one of his obligations as her uncle, where he was also very aware of Shee's circumstances which required a lot of attention. If grandmother Surin was at home all of that would not have happened. At least someone pays more attention to her, there are customers who come, some bring vegetables, some are busy in the garden.

But when grandmother Surin left, she felt like between heaven and earth, silent silence, the sound of leaves in the wind, the sound of bamboo swaying, there was no one and her stomach was already hungry.

Mrs. Keni arrived home during her break, but Shee was already lying there on her long bench.

Mrs. Keni : " Shee...., Shee, Shee " Mrs. Keni woke Shee slowly while shaking her daughter's shoulders a little, but Shee was already asleep.

Mrs. Keni tried to wake Shee up again, this time she shook Shee's shoulders as she spoke to him: "

"Shee....Shee, wake up honey, look what mom brought you, come see this is your favorite!"

"Shee look at this, mother brought a red apple, look honey"

Shee felt that her sleep was disturbed, finally she opened her eyes a little but in front of her face, her mother was holding out a red apple, Shee's eyes opened wider, she was curious about what she saw, her hand grabbed the fruit, and she got up and sat down from her bed.

Mrs. Keni: "I know you must be hungry, right dear?, eat this mother deliberately brought all your favorites"

BuKeni took Shee rice along with the side dishes and vegetables on her plate, there was soy sauce chicken, spinach, fruit, and a few pieces of cake, all complete and Shee only needed to eat them.

Mrs. Keni : "Today why don't you play with your uncle dear? You must be lonely, right?

Shee: "I like home" Shee answered briefly, she then started her lunch.

Mrs. Keni was happy to see Shee eating voraciously, even the apple she brought while holding it in her left hand.

Mrs. Keni: "You will definitely be happy to hear this news dear, in two days your grandmother will come, she will wait for your school holidays after that grandmother will invite you to play at your aunt's house and your other uncles, how about it? Do you agree?" Asked Mrs. Keni with a sigh radiant face

Shee: "Yea, I'm so happy mom" Said Shee who then smiled widely. The little gril's eyes lit up, it was the moment she had been waiting every time before to her school holidays.

It was still a lonely day when her mother had to return to the staff dormitory, at home, shee was often alone, that's how Shee was every day.

***

Mrs. keni feels that time has changed very quickly, today Mrs. Keni has to do her activities, just like the previous days, during shee's holiday alone, as usual shee has to be at home to play. her uncle made of bamboo bamboo which is five inches from one another. others, circling one and a half to two meters high and four square meters wide. The door is locked from the outside, inside is full of various favorite toys.

Uncle Shee made the toy house to protect Shee who was alone besides that so she could also feel happy, the place was very shady under a big tree next to her house.

That morning, Mrs. Keni, without feeling that something bad would happen, feeling that nothing had been missed, Mrs. Keni left for work in the dormitory and walked lightly, followed by her beloved cat, who after a few meters returned home.

Not even anhour, that day the weather was very sunny, Shee in the toy house was busy playing, she was used to enjoying her independence, it made her have various ideas even though it was only a game. Sometimes she plays with a doll that has a tame pet or a mother holding a child, that little gril always has funny ideas.

At that time Shee was playing with her doll, suddenly a puppy tried to enter through the doorway which when the puppy pushed in it made the bamboo door gap wider, the puppy was white with brown stripes, the legs are still short, the ears fall down, the muzzle is short, very cute and very beautiful.

Shee was overjoyed by the arrival of the puppies. For him there is a new fun toy, Shee also pulled the puppy's tail intending to be close to him, but the puppy felt uncomfortable, and he screamed with his trademark voice "Kaiing.. Kaiiing', Shee thought why the animal could make such a good sound, this is very funny and enjoyable for her.

Shee also pulled the dog's tail many times while laughing happily at the sound that for him was heard many times. The puppy tried to break free but shee pulled back and pulled him again. The puppy managed to break free and run but in the tight space shee managed to grab him again. She lifted the puppy close to her and the puppy screamed loudly when shee beat him with his long doll, the sound of a puppy was like crying, suddenly part of the toy houses shook, shee saw a big dog jump with a heavy voice like it was angry, the big dog jumped at Shee. The big dog immediately bit the shee's left thigh and went with the puppy by biting its neck. It happened so fast, Shee didn't even have time to dodge or anything, she was shocked at the same time silently when the dog approached her.

Shee was crying as hard as she could, blood dripping from the bite marks....

His uncle and aunt ran towards him., immediately opened the door to the toy house, he picked up shee who was crying, he saw blood pouring out, uncle asked frantically: "Why.. Why is your leg Shee?!

She : " Bitten by a dog " answered Shee in a voice that was still crying

Aunt : " Bring the doctor right now ! This is dangerous " Aunt also panicked . They immediately took Shee to the doctor.

***

When it was time for Mrs. Keni to come home from work, she immediately took care of Shee's wound, washed it with warm water and gave her medicine.

Mrs. Keni: "How could this happen, don't you want to tell your mother?!"

Shee: "I pulled and hit the dog's tail to make a sound"

Mrs. keni: "He can also feel pain, you know?!, and pain is not good, that's why he made a sound, actually he was crying in pain."

Mrs. Keni: " Did a little dog bite you this badly?!

Shee: "Big dog jumped on top of my toy house and bit me"

Mrs. Keni : " It was mother's instinct dear she saved her child, she thought you were threatening her child's safety, so she bit you, now you know more about this incident and now you are smarter than before." Mrs. Keni said very wisely.

And that day they spent the night together. She fell asleep in her mother's arms. Mrs. Keni got up and made sure everything was safe, locked the door, turned off the living room light, pulled the curtains up and covered Shee. He then kissed the forehead of his beloved only child.

And lay down, a moment later his mouth moved to say a prayer to God before he fell asleep later

Outside, the roosters seemed to be doing their routine duties, crowing and replying to each other from far distance.

Getting used to getting up early, Bu Keni felt as if someone had woken her up, at around the same time she suddenly woke up from her sleep.

Mrs. Keni remembers that today her mother will come, after making sure everything is tidy she intends to prepare her mother's favorite.

Suddenly Shee's voice was heard: "Mom....."

Mrs. Keni: "What's wrong dear, it's still too early"

Shee: "Today Grandma will come, right?!"

Mrs. Keni: "Yes, of course dear, grandmother always keeps her promise but that doesn't mean it has to disturb your sleep."

Shee: "Mom's awake..."

Mrs. Keni: "Yes of course why dear"

Shee: "It means it's morning now, I have to wake up"

Mrs. Keni : " But not as early as this dear, look outside, I can't see the light of the sun shine, small children usually sleep longer, you know that's not it'

Shee: " Grandma is coming, it's a special day"

Mrs. Keni: "Well honey if you want to wake up, it's useless you won't be able to sleep now, your strong wish has eliminated your sleepiness, then by waking up this early what do you want to do?

Shee: "Mom, I know grandma's favorite, I can help you wash the ginger"

Mrs. Keni: "Do what you want dear, I'm glad you are very caring and loving"

Early in the morning the two of them worked together in the kitchen, Mrs. Keni didn't want to limit Shee's wishes, Mrs. Keni preferred to know what Shee was going to do and give her praise rather than telling her to do what she didn't necessarily like.

Shee was very happy with her freedom in the kitchen, they were both so compact and understanding. Shee always pays attention to what her mother is doing, and she will know what she can do to fulfill it.

When bukeni pours the flour in the container, shee says "My mother poured the water"

Mrs. Keni: "Sure" he said with a smile

Shee: "Mom, how many eggs should I take?"

Mrs. Keni: "only one mother is enough dear"

Mrs. Keni stirred all the ingredients together, and said: "It feels like something is missing...what is it?"

Shee :"Ginger! Shee said quickly

Mrs. Keni: "Ah yes, you are really smart boy!!"

About an hour later they came out of the kitchen, carrying a tray of beautiful gingerbread cookies.

Mrs. Keni: "Grandma must be very happy about this"

Shee: "Is grandma really going to take me out of town on vacation?"

Mrs. Keni : " Yes of course, why not, as long as you are not naughty "

Shee: "I'm not naughty"

Mrs. Keni: " Yes...Yes, I know, but your feet still hurt, besides that your long holiday hasn't arrived yet, right dear?!

Shee: "Yes"

Mrs. Keni and Shee are enjoying breakfast, suddenly from outside there is a voice that is not very clear, Mrs. Keni and Sheepun stop their every movement, their ears are wide open, the whispers in their hearts are the same "That must be grandma", but they hope to hear the voice again clearer, so that they hope to find a definite answer. One second, two seconds, three seconds..., waiting even for a few seconds seems like a long time, and suddenly

Granny Surin : " Shee .... ! " The door shook and opened wide , a longed face appeared from the door that was not locked , Shee ran to her grandmother " Neneeek " He immediately hugged him and Grandma Surin returned the hug

Mrs. Keni stood up from her seat. From the looks of them all you can see how happy they are

Mrs. Keni : " Come on ma'am.... We eat together"

Shee: "This is Grandma's favorite cake"

Grandma Surin: "Wow, grandma is very happy, did you make it?!"

Shee: "Yes, I am"

Grandma Surin turned her face to Mrs. Keni, "Did he really do that?

Mrs. Keni: "Yes, we are in the kitchen together, and we work together to make Grandma's favorite cake"

Grandma Surin: "Grandma's grandson is really great, thank you dear" he said while kissing shee's forehead

Grandma Surin's heart is really happy, and Shee's lonely days have paid off, the presence of Surin's grandmother really completes and treats loneliness.

Surin grandmother: " Shee what's wrong with your leg? What happened, this is not a light wound

Mrs. Keni: "Shee was bitten by a dog ma'am... While she was playing at her toy house"

Grandma Surin: "Must be alone again, I have warned many times, a child this small cannot be left alone"

Mrs. Keni: "What should I do ma'am, the situation is demanding like this'

Grandma Surin: "How is your responsibility as a mother, you can tell your siblings, they are all close to you'

Mrs. Keni: "Yesterday was the sister who helped Shee, she brought her to the doctor"

Grandma Surin: "You see for yourself, all your sisters pay attention to shee"

Mrs. Keni: "I leave Shee with my sister every day, but Shee prefers to be at home and play alone, I also can't do more ma'am, every day I come home between my breaks, to make sure Shee is fine, and bring her food, I also make sure every day that he has eaten'

Grandma Surin: "Ah... I understand you've tried your best, maybe I should spend more time here" Grandma Surin corrected herself.

***

But since what happened to Shee, grandmother Surin no longer leaves Shee

Grandma Surin: "Shee now you will not be lonely anymore, there is a grandmother at home, there are friends at your school, right dear?"

Shee: "Yeah, I'm glad grandma is here with me"

Ne ek Surin: "Of course dear, ne ek will always be there for you...." replied Grandma Surin with
