Living in an Unfair World
By Aan Andrian

A year ago Doni still remembers his father who died of cancer, Doni is a farmer's son who has to think about how to continue his life. Now doni lives with his beloved mother after the death of his father. Living in a very narrow bamboo hut with a ground floor by candlelight that is lit every night. Being in the village of Pagarkayu, there was no electricity at that time. Doni can only read a book given by his friend who goes to school every night. Reading a book accompanied by a yellow light from a candle and the whispering sound of a mosquito is very disturbing to the ear.

That morning, Doni wanted to go to school, but with his condition without money, Doni could not continue his education. Every day Doni helps his mother earn a living by working in the fields belonging to skipper Aan. Seeing his mother who works hard every day to support the family, Doni feels sorry and chooses to help his mother work. Doni not only works in the fields, but he also sells newspapers with one of his friends, Asep. While selling newspapers, the two of them also sing in the streets to the accompaniment of Asep applause, to increase their income.

In the morning when Doni and Asep were selling newspapers, they accidentally met one of their friends, Ucup, the son of one of the teachers. Seeing Ucup wearing a tidy school uniform, carrying a bag, and carrying a lunch box in his left hand. Doni was jealous to see Ucup who went to school in neat clothes and had many friends. After that Doni rushed home with a sad face and met his mother who was getting ready to go to work. Then Doni said to his mother, "Mom, why can't I go to school, why am I not like other children, If only my father was still there, I would be able to go to school, Mom..." said Doni was very emotional and crying to his mother. His mother was silent and could not say anything after hearing her son's words, because replying to Doni's words would only be in vain because Doni was still a small child who did not understand the situation.

Then Asep came to see Doni and asked him to sell newspapers around the terminal. Despite the sun's scorching heat, they are still eager to earn a lot of money to continue their studies and reach their goals. After selling newspapers they continued to sing. They work tirelessly looking for additional income to realize their dreams.

Then, unexpectedly, a car came to the woman crossing the road, and the car wanted to hit the woman. Then Doni immediately ran to save the mother by pushing the mother's body. The mother was shocked and fell due to being pushed by Doni, Then Mrs. Fitri said "Thank you, son, I didn't realize there was a speeding car, thank you for saving mother". Then Doni replied, "You're welcome ma'am, forgive me ma'am if I pushed you to fall".

"It's okay son, because of that mother is safe," said Mrs. Fitri. Then Asep approached Doni very worried about Doni. Mrs. Fitri wonders why two small children roam the streets holding newspapers and carrying milk cans.

"Why don't you go to school? Why are you wandering the streets?" Said Mrs. Fitri with a sad face.

Doni and Asep also answered, "We can't go to school because we don't have money, ma'am, so we have to earn a living to be able to continue school".

Mrs. Fitri was also sad to hear their words, plus saw a small child had to earn money, which they should go to school. Unexpectedly, it turns out that Mrs. Fitri is a school principal. "You want to go to school? If you want to go to school, I can help you." They were both surprised to hear Mrs. Fitri's words. With shocking expressions they answered "Seriously ma'am?, of course, we really want to go to school" said Doni and Asep very happy.

"Mom is very serious," said Mrs. Fitri with tears falling to the ground. Then they hugged Mrs. Fitri while crying, "Thank you very much, Mrs. Fitri, finally we can go to school". "Yes, you're welcome," said Mrs. Fitri.

Then they ran towards the house to meet his mother. After Doni met his mother and explained what had happened, his mother couldn't hold back her tears and was very happy that her son was finally able to continue his education. Doni and Asep felt delighted and couldn't believe it. In the end, they were both able to go back to school. And Mrs. Eti feels grateful that Doni can finally go to school. Doni studied very, very diligently so that he went to college and got a scholarship, finally he was able to realize his dream.
