My Youth Story (Kayla Story)
Episode 4

...¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶ ¶...

Later that night I started picking out books and clothes that I would bring with me and separating them on the table. Without realizing it, my mother was standing staring at me in the doorway with a smile.

"Oh my goodness, my mother, pay attention to you so eager to prepare your needs."

"No, it's ordinary."

"Mother have you called grandma yet?"

"Already, he said grandma can just come here next Wednesday. You have to take care of the medicine for grandpa,"

"Thank God that Grandma would like to stay here for a while with mom."

Actually the mother's own parents' house is not so far from where we live, it took about 1.5 hours for him to come here by driving a car. Usually it is uncle Sanusi who likes to deliver grandmother and grandfather when they want to visit my house.

Grandma's residence was in the hills and far from the city, while our house was in the middle of the city. At first mother intends to live there, but because it is difficult to earn income finally mother chose to buy a house in the city.

When I was putting the books in my suitcase, Lulu and her mother went to the house. As usual she went straight to my room, while her mother was with her in front of the store.

"Eh you're done with it."

"Are you already?"

"Udah dong, there's not much else I bring later."

"Oh yeah, I've got a boarding address for us later. It's only 100 yards from our school."

"If according to my brother anyway, it would be better if we host it in housing so that it is safer, he said,"

"Well what?".

"Yes, my mother asked my brother to find her. But unfortunately there's only one room left,"

"Oh that......"

"Yes, how dong. I'm not good with you, because I was the one who yesterday made you to look for the cost both for us." Evidently.

"It's okay, and I can talk to you later. Yesterday the mother had a story, if there the mother had relatives. He had offered me a long time to stay with him."

"Well if that's the story, I'm glad I heard it too."

"Yes, the most important thing is that we are still the same school as this later." I'm trying not to make Lulu feel guilty.

"Yes......"

After the death of Lulu and her mother, my mother immediately approached me in the living room.

"Mother has heard the story from her mother Lulu. So how about you stay with Aunt Vina over there."

"Yes mom, I want to."

"I also do not want to, even make the mother worry later." Reply me.

"Yes, then you want to call Aunt Vina first."

As I recall, I used to meet Aunt Vina when she played to Malang. But because I was a little boy and now a few years have passed I have forgotten his face.

Being bored, I decided to wind up in front of the store. Fortunately at that time there was still an Ani mba who was wrapping wheat flour.

"Mfa......"

"I thought I was home."

"Not yet, this is the stage again container flour first.Let tomorrow if anyone buys easy, do not have to suddenly wrap."

Because I was bored, I also helped mba Ani to wrap the flour into plastic.

It did not feel like the day was already night, after closing my shop and my mother was relaxing in the TV room while enjoying the boiled noodles that my mother had made just now.

"That's the name of the school I attended." Connect me.

"No, it can be a coincidence, yes,"

"Yes mother just found out earlier, when aunt Vina story."

"Had he got a boy?"

"Punya, it's just that he used to play here not brought. That's why you've never met his son, he,"

"Oh......"

"If it's not wrong you guys are the size too, it could be that you're one generation too right now." Continue mother.

"It just so happens, yeah,"

"Destiny boy,"

"Later you can go to school with his son, especially you do not know the streets there."

"Yes, anyway,"

"I'm just afraid, his son doesn't like my presence."

"Know from where, her mother is fine. Yes, his son must be good, too,"

"Oh, I hope, otherwise I'd better find a boarding house."

Mother just smiled while patting my shoulder.

It did not feel the day of my departure arrived, mother and both Lulu's parents also took us to school. After a night of crying, my mother and I strengthened each other.

We didn't have to wait long, the bus that picked us up came. I immediately hugged my mother tightly, it was hard to part with her.

After saying goodbye to the mother, Lulu's parents also and do not forget Mr. Hendra as the guidance teacher who took care of our departure this year. We got on the bus and sat in our seats with our names on them.

Seen out there, the mother is trying to wipe away the tears that have soaked her face. It was hard for me to part with him too.

"I must be strong, I must go home with pride for you later." My whisper in my heart.

Along the way I could not sleep, different things with Lulu who fell asleep since then.

The distance from Malang itself takes about 9 hours or less, that was also we had to rest 2 times in the rest area.

At exactly 4 pm, we also arrived in front of the school which will be the place we study for the next year. There were many people waiting for our arrival.

"Well that one in the blue shirt, the brother I told you about." Show Lulu.

"Ah that,"

"He is the son of my uncle, now working in one of the malls in Jakarta. His name is Mba Nanda" Lulu explained.

"Oh yeah, I was curious to pick you up. Which one is it?"

"I don't know, I've forgotten his face." Reply me.

"Well, how's dong."

"Yes he will call my name at the most" I said.

"You should ask for a picture of her with your mother, so as not to be confused."

"I forgot Lu, where do I think the same."

After the bus was parked, we went down. Do not forget our luggage that has been removed from the trunk.

"Kayla Nafisah's......." Someone's call distracts me.

I was busy picking up a suitcase and saw who the person who called my name just now was.
