MISTAKE OR GRACE

Likha recently received an award from her school, she became the overall champion and was automatically admitted to the plus school under the government, in each province it only has one school.

"Mom, from now on, you don't have to worry anymore because you have to pay for all my school fees and expenses as well as pocket money. But for the next three years maybe we can only meet twice a year, the rest I will live in the dormitory." Lika, who was packing, told her mother who also helped her put some clothes that were still fit to be worn into the bag that she would carry when she left for the dormitory later.

"Forgive your mother and father, son, if all this time we have not been able to meet all your needs, you must study hard and enthusiastically, so that your life will be better and not like us being stupid. You must be able to achieve your dreams, dear!" Likha cried in her mother's arms, for her parents were her guardian angels who loved her wholeheartedly even though she lived in economic deprivation, but this family remained compact and even though Likha's mother was only a small tailor who only had a butterfly sewing machine in her house. worn, but still usable for sewing.

It was from here that her mother Likha helped her husband make ends meet. Meanwhile, Likha's father only works as a motorcycle driver daily, the results he gets are only enough to buy rice and side dishes.

"Don't talk like that ma'am, I'm lucky enough to be your daughter, even though we live just as well, but I don't lack love from you. The prayers that you pray every night are more than enough for me ma'am, thank you very much, ma'am. " Likha then put her backpack containing five sets of clothes on the side of her bed.

Her mother just nodded gratefully, having a beautiful and smart daughter who always helped her parents.

"Mom ... I'm going to see Rina and Dafa first, ma'am, I'll spend my time with my two best friends while I'm still at home." Likha kissed her mother's hand and rushed to the house of Rina, her best friend from the first grade of elementary school to junior high school, and after that, they would approach Dafa, the three of them would go to the river their favorite place when they were together.

"Be careful, son, come home before nightfall." Likha nodded and immediately left her house. The girl with long hair walked over with a smile that swelled her tiny lips when she passed her neighbor.

"Assalamu'alaikum, is Rina ready yet?" Likha observed Rina's house which looked deserted. Likha did not have a cellphone so she had a little trouble communicating with her friends.

But what can I do? Likha knows the financial capabilities of her parents, how dare she ask to buy a cell phone, while sometimes her parents don't have it for daily allowances and when that happens, Likha will fast sunnah. Apart from relieving her mother's mental burden, Likha will also be rewarded by her fasting.

"Likha, I'm sorry, I went to the bathroom first. Let's go straight away, Daffa has sent a message, I was waiting at the river." Rina and Likha then walked hand in hand while telling about their plans after they did not go to the same school anymore.

"Rina, it's Dafa, let's go there." Likha pointed to Dafa who was already sitting on a large rock and, whatever she was thinking, she occasionally threw stones into the river.

"Dafa, why are you daydreaming there?" Rina shocked the daydreaming Dafa that she almost fell over.

"Rina, you startled me you know! I almost fell." Dafa scolded Rina.

"Yes, don't keep fighting, you will fall in love and you will know your taste!" Likha cursed at the two friends with a smile.

"God forbid .... God, don't let me fall in love with Dafa." Rina seemed disgusted as she waved her hand, while Dafa was not inferior to Rina, she pretended to vomit.

"Likha, I'd better be your boyfriend than Rina." Dafa smiled teasingly at Likha, now it was Likha's turn to shake her head.

"No ... !!!" Likha answered Dafa steadily, the three of them laughed together.

"Rina, Dafa, when I'm in the dormitory you don't forget me! If you can, pray for me so that I can go through my days without you happily." Likha took turns looking at Dafa and Rina.

"It must be Likha, we are friends, we will always pray for you. We must also miss you." Rina hugged Likha tightly. Dafa also embraced the two of them.

"Dafa, why are you hugging us, herbs steal a chance huh ... !!" Likha pinched Dafa's arm, she immediately shouted and released her hug to Rina and Likha.

"I'm sorry, Likha, I didn't mean to. I was really moved to see you guys earlier, so I got carried away, I'm sorry." Dafa screamed for mercy, but Likha and Rina only pinched Dafa's arm even harder and finally, they both pushed Dafa's body into the shallow river.

"You two watch out ya ... !! just look at when I grow up you two will definitely fight over me to be your husband, when it comes I will marry you both at the same time ... !!" Dafa walked to the riverbank in a soaked shirt.

"Pfffftt .... hahahaha ..." Rina and Likha burst into laughter at the words of Dafa, she has god-level feelings.
