A rickety house stands on the edge of the small village of the capital. Not many passing vehicles. At best there are only pedicabs and small public transport. One hour, one public transportation. That rickety house had been a long time ago. The inhabitants had left him for the capital. His friends are the wind, the little birds who sing as well as the sound of motorized engine roar as there pass through the streets full of stones. She felt lonely. The article 'HOUSE FOR SALE' whose writing is almost unreadable it still stood beside him on the front though a bit fragile. He awaits his new master. He kept waiting ... waiting .. until finally the long wait was paying off.
A motorized vehicle is parked in front of the house. Initially, the house thought that the motor vehicle was a vehicle that was merely a marker because of a strike on the streets. But, real no. He tried to look back from the crevices of the limbs of old trees that blocked the landscape. There was a young woman coming down from the bike. He came alone and slowly began to enter the house. He also brought some luggage in. The woman had time to see the scenery around his home. Moments later, he smiled. Then unplug the "House For Sale" bar. The house looked happy. He smiles Finally, he is no longer a house without occupants. Old trees that have long been a friend was also happy. Proven by the way that wiggle the limb.
The woman started to go inside the house and organize everything with care. That very day, the young woman who was recently discovered by the house, "Marina." In the bedroom, Marina proudly pulled out uniforms in front of her cupboard. The house knew that it was a teacher uniform.
Apparently, my new inhabitants work as teachers ... Inner House.
Often, the House was amused when the wall of his house was in a broom by Marina. Especially when the walls of his house was touched by a paint brush. She almost laughed. But, try to hold it. Afraid later, Marina even thought that the laughing sound is the laughing sound of a ghost. For a week, Marina spends her time with the House. Because indeed Marina must fix some parts of damaged and dirty Houses. Marina is a tlaten person.
Some photos of the family start Marina display on the wall of the house. Somehow, Marina looked sad when she saw it all. Yes .. everything. The house saw Marina shed tears slowly. Who exactly are they in the photo?
The house became curious. Quietly, she peeked as Marina was writing her life story in a diary. Apparently, the person in Marina's picture is Marina's own dead family. They died of a plane crash when they wanted to catch up with Marina who volunteered teaching remote schools in the Borneo area. The house became sad. He did not realize that the inner wall was getting wet. He was crying!
A few drops of tears House fell to diary book Marina. Marina was aware that the walls of her house were wet. He thought his house was leaking. But, when he looked out the window. The weather was very sunny. Marina became confused. He became restless.
"This is leaking for what?" Marina murmured, as he went out in a friendly manner to look for some buckets or places that could be used to hold water. The house just realized that he was crying. Quickly, he stopped his crying so as not to inconvenience Marina. Increasingly astonished Marina. "How do you stop?" Marina stared at the house wall as well as the roof of her house carefully. He did not take the container. That's why he returned to his room and decided to sleep.
The next day, Marina woke up earlier than usual. She got ready and started wearing her proud teacher uniform. The house looked surprised when Marina was ready with the tidy clothes that early. Hurry, Marina out of the House and put on her motorbike and then go somewhere. The house gets confused and it goes on and on. Leave early morning, come home late afternoon. Question marks filled the minds of the house. Every day, Marina is busy reading the textbooks of elementary school children. And, it continues for up to 6 years. Marina began to get sick often, forcing her to stay at home.
When one day, many children dressed in elementary school also flocked to come to the Marina house. They asked that Marina teach them in preparation for the National Exam. Of course Marina agrees. Marina greeted her with open arms and a wide smile. Fortunately, at his home, he provides a large blackboard to teach his students who will soon face the National Exam. Trials that all students must face at the last grade level of a certain level of education to continue to the next level of education. Occasionally, Marina made a joke to make her teaching atmosphere less tense so there was a cheerful laugh from Marina as well as elementary school children.
Patiently, Marina taught them. Although now he is not healthy. He tried to cheer up and patiently respond to his students who often asked. Routine activities that Marina continues to do until his pupils undergoing exams. At home, Marina is not just silent. He continues to pray to God so that his disciples can succeed. Until sometime, the graduation results arrived. Marina was informed that all her pupils had graduated 100% with good grades and got scholarships for school in the city. At that moment, the first house saw Marina smile off as usual. He was very happy. Finally, the elementary school students who had 6 years of teaching he can succeed.
The next 2 days, when the student release will take place. Marina wanted to come. But, dear ... Her weak state forces her to stay at home. Fortunately, one of the teachers was kind enough to deliver a videotape when the elementary school release was carried out. Once again, Marina smiled happily when she saw the faces of her radiant students who were receiving a diploma. And, the video was marinated Marina until repeatedly.
"There is nothing happier for a teacher except when he sees his students succeed and achieve." He said, still smiling.
Decades later ...
Marina stepped into her 60th year. His body is getting worse. Especially after he was sentenced to suffer a stroke and must be immediately taken to the city hospital. He now lives alone after his retirement from the teacher. When one day Marina turned on the television, she saw the news of one of the students she had taught. Named "Kharina Septiani" who has now become one of Indonesia's most famous businessmen. And, for the third time, House sees Marina smiling happily. Be happier than ever.
"Finally, my students become successful people," he murmured.
The longer Marina's body gets weaker. While he has to take care of his life alone. He only hoped for help from the neighbors who wished him and would go a long way to go to take care of Marina. The house became furious when he saw that none of his students who had become successful people came to visit the teacher who had sincerely taught him. If he was a human, he would be very grateful if he got a teacher like Marina. Until in the end, Marina died ... His disciple still no one visited him. The sad house ... He remembered the last word that Marina said before he died, "My soul may die, but my counsel shall be eternal"
