Shanum Smile
Chapter 24

The words of people every day he recorded in the brain to make a decision. He never told her about the incident that hurt her heart. Silence is better for healing wounds, because telling stories means scraping dry wounds.

The next day, Shanum again escorted Mutia to SMK favorite country. When they got to school it was still quiet. Mutia greeted the teachers who happened to cross paths in the parking lot.

"This is Mutia's accounting boy, isn't it?" ask one of the middle-aged teachers.

"Yes, Sir. I was in accounting class. You still remember me" Mutia said with a friendly smile.

"I remember most of the students here. So still remember although not so yes. his name is also old. Haha..."

"This is who you are, what child is sister?" ask the father at last.

"Sister, Sir! I'm not married, sir. Still want to make the family happy" replied Mutia.

"Oh, kirain his son. Already have children really," joked the middle-aged man who is usually called Rahmat sir.

"If his son is this big it's impossible, sir. I was 25 years old and cooked her 15 year old. How's the story, sir?" answer Mutia.

"Well, Mr. Grace! It turns out that it's familiar, same alumni here. Yesterday was the same, just remember. I'm the young one even forgot about them" said Ms. Henny.

"I try not to forget my students, Mom. I consider them my own children. That's why I remember them even if I just remember them. Haha..."

The atmosphere in the room was fluid by the friendly attitude of Mr. Rahmat, the vice principal of the student field. In that SMK, the vice principal was not just one. This is due to the many activities that exist in the school. In order for all activities to run smoothly, the principal appointed several teachers to be his representatives. They are appointed and placed according to their respective expertise.

Already three months Mutia became unemployed, many neighbors began to sneer at Mr. Yanto's family. Moreover, the harvest this year failed to return. Means that it has been three years in a row, since the death of Bu Lestari the results of rice fields can not be expected song. Kiosks in the market have also been sold to cover the cost of rice fields.

Taking care of five rice fields alone, making Mr. Yanto often exhausted. Lately often complain of tired and tight chest. However, every time invited to treatment by Mutia was always unwilling.

"Mutia's savings money is still there if you want to treat Mr. Don't be late like you were! Not knowing the pain, suddenly died. You must seek treatment so that his chest is not tight anymore" said Mutia after dinner together.

Shanum was studying in the room, a lot of homework was given by his teacher. So Shanum can not sit back while watching television.

"Just save your money! Father's money is still there. The Father is still strong, why seek treatment," said Mr. Yanto.

"Mumpung is still strong so treat, so it is still easy to treat. If it's hard to do."

Mutia seemed annoyed by Mr. Yanto's response that alleviated the disease.

"As for you, the important thing is not to forget to rest. The power should not be too forced to work in the fields. If not strong pay people to take care of the rice fields or rent the rice fields," said Mutia before leaving the father alone in the family room.

Satria continued his studies in the city of Semarang. He did not want to live close to his sister, even though he had forgiven but there was still a sense of disappointment.

Meanwhile, the Earth was getting bolder to approach Shanum. All of this is because the Earth asked the mother to explain her case to her brother. From then on, Satria chose to get out of town and be alone.

A sunny Saturday afternoon...

Shanum was still attending scout practice, when Bumi came to Shanum's school. Bumi knows because all this time always find out the news of the idol of his friend. So easily Earth meets Shanum.

Half an hour later, scout practice was complete. Shanum came out of the gate with his friend who both wanted to ride the angkot. The four of them walked together towards a stop not far from the school gate.

"Shanon!" call Earth from across the street.

Shanum turned towards the voice that called his name. He saw the Earth walking across the street, leaving his motorbike.

"Yes, Brother? Tumben's here, what's up?" shanum sahut when the Earth is in front of him.

"Cieee Shanum wants a weekly night!" the cheer of Shanum's friends, thus making Shanum's face flushed with embarrassment.

"Well a minute, yuk! Don't talk here, it's not nice to see a lot of people!" bring Earth with you while holding Shanum's hand.

"Sorry, yes guys! I went home first" Shanum told his friends and was taken in by them.

They took a motorcycle to a cafe not far from Shanum school. They choose a seat in the corner, because it is not passed by cafe visitors.

"What message do you want?" bargain the Earth while handing over the menu list to Shanum.

"Juice, but do not use ice" said Shanum.

Finally they ordered orange juice and other light cakes.

"What do you need, brother? Not usually pick Shanum up," Shanum asked after a while the two just fell silent and stole a glance at each other.

"Kak Satria is now studying in Semarang. You know that already?" say Earth.

Shanum just shook his head in an unknown sign.

"Mama felt she lost one of her children, because Satria never came home. He only calls if he needs money. Besides never asking us news," the story of the Earth itself.

Even though Satria is like that, he is still his brother. Earth still loves her sister.

"Never tell you the truth, brother? What's the problem?" shanum asked curiously.

"It's all because..."

The cafe waiter came to bring their order, so that Bumi cut off his speech. Bumi resumed his remark after the cafe waiter left their table.

"It's all because of you, Num!" The earth looked down because it felt ashamed.

"Because of me? Why can you have such trouble? My feeling is not good" said Shanum upset because he was the one being blamed.

"Because we love the same woman. That's, you!" answer the steady Earth.

"Love me? Hahaha.don't joke, brother!"

"I'm not kidding, Shanum! I do love you. Only you!" bumi said as she grabbed Shanum's hand and grasped it tightly.

Shanum's heart was as if he was disco, jedug pauses were not careless. It felt like the heart was about to jump out from within Shanum's body. His hands were also sweating coldly. Shanum was speechless, so surprised to hear the words of his former upperclassman.

"You don't have to answer now, tomorrow afternoon I'm going to your house? I want to hear your answer" said Bumi with a sweet smile.
