QUESTIONS now, how was it that Sabari was crazy about Lena?
He used to be like other children in Belantik, the farthest village, on the edge of the sea of belitung in the east. He went home with his slingshot, pocketed the young duku for the bullet, the conghai scoundrel, pelted the fruits, chased the kites, ran in the fields, and swam in the quarries. Dark skin burning sun, wound all over foot, go home scolded Mother to see clothes saturated fruits sap fruit-forest fruit, then helter-skelter ran to the mosque so as not too late and scolded teachers of Koran. At the mosque laughing, cheering for fighting, fighting, crying.
About love? Sabari does not know and dislike. Love is a strange word. Love is sweet poison full of ruse. Love is a dove in a magician's hat. Love is a place far, far away, and a silly affair of adults.
When the second year of junior high, Ukun said to Sabari that he likes Hanifa, until he can not sleep made. Previously, Ukun also said that he likes Sita, Mawar, Anisa, Laila, Nurmala, Aini, Indra, Deli, Lili, Mumun, Nizam, Latifah, Salamah, Fatimah, Hasanah, Sasha, Zaza and Sasha, shamelessly said that he likes the Amoi, Zarina, A yun, Minar, A Mung, Nuri, Rifa, Umi and Umi village of the other village.
"But just love to look," said End.
"You mean?" Sabari asked.
"My dad said I should not go out before college, that's why my dad called me the End," but his father had three wives. Throw a stone hidden hands.
According to Sabari it was disgusting. Every time Ukun boasted about his favorite little girls. Sabari grumbles. Very likely because he has seen with his own eyes how bad love. The cousins of his cousins are messy. He always asks, why is there no law that ensnares people who play with love like Ukun Tamat, and their cousins? To him love is an act is a bad act protected by law.
Because Sabari knew anti-love, Ukun once seduced him by placing-masangkannya premises Sashya. Sabari muntab is not good. Three days to put it to rest. Sabari is patient, never before. Ukun always teases Sabari with a variety of whims, but kapok tease him about girls.
Once upon a time, finished Sabari, Ukun, and Graduated from junior high school. Their next dream sam with the dream of other junior high school graduates, namely entering the state high school. So many junior high school graduates from various junior high schools in dozens of sub-districts, but high school stools are limited. Thus, a three-day selection test is held at the Working Meeting Headquarters (MPB).
The last day is an Indonesian test. Sabari smiled. He answered all questions calmly. Cinccai. He saw nun there, Ukun gore-up hair. She smiled again. At 5 o'clock, Tamat was stunned, looking depressed inwardly. Sabari smiled again. Sorry, other students may be good at math, science, English, Geography, Biology, but Sabari is Isaac Newton of Bahasa Indonesia.
In a short time, Sabari had answered all the questions, but she did not want to disappoint those who had given her the name Sabari, her father and her grandmother. He waited patiently until time was running out. If you submit answers unexpectedly, other participants can be intimidated, then groggy, broken concentration and then fall apart. What a handsome man kind of boy.
Eventually time is running out. Sabari cleared her bag and prepared to hand the paper over to the supervisor ahead of her, but suddenly she was taken aback by suddenly a girl cornering in front of her, grabbing the answer sheets, sitting beside her, and without ba bi bu directly copied the answer.
Agile the boy moved all Sabari's answers to his own answer. Her face was tense, her breathing racing, sweat on her shoulders. Sabari was transfixed. The remote position of the supervisor makes the child free to commit a foul. Everything went very quickly. What Sabari knows later is the shout from the watchdog that time has run out, hope the answer paper is submitted, otherwise the supervisor will go to the participants and take forcibly.
After copying all the answers the girl handed it back to Sabari. Next thing oengawas had stood in front of them and picked up the answer paper while grumbling.
The girl takes care of her bag. Sabari stared at the flowers of the weeds in her bag. Without a word, the boy smiled at Sabari and handed him the pencil. Perhaps a gift for the good of Sabari.
Sabari received a pencil with a hand that she felt was no longer part of her body. He was stunned because the human eyes never looked as beautiful as the girl's eyes. So beautiful, shady but shiny, twelve full moon.
The boy got up, walked away, leaving the trembling Sabari so that his bench was rolling.
After the test, all afternoon and evening, Sabari continued to hold the pencil she gave her unknown daughter. Never a moment had let go. The next morning he woke up, the pencil still in his hand.
