Life does not really know what the end is. Sometimes we are at the top sometimes also below. But life really teaches us about everything, that we know and ultimately understand.
Only one event, or one thought, or even just one speech can change everything. Everyone knows that, but not many people understand about it.

Rayhan, a little boy who always tries to find out what an event in his life means. Maybe one day he could change his family status as a poor family into a rich family.
But it was not easy for Rayhan. Not everyone he asked about a problem would explain it to Rayhan. But Rayhan is an unyielding boy. So he was never angry at anyone, including his father, who never gave him any understanding of a problem.

"Son, will you bring your lunch to the fields later? Dad is gone, your mother is not finished cooking yet. Later you also help you clean the fields! "Orders Rayhan Father.
"Good, Sir. Hopefully later in school there is no PR! "Rayhan replied.



The morning starts at noon. Rayhan who just came home from school soon to lunch with a side dish of potluck. His family can only eat vegetables every day, as if vegetarians who never eat meat. Certainly, it's because the Rayhan family is a poor family. Eating river fish alone is very rare because it has to work.

Rayhan quickly washed his dishes and opened his old bag. She held out her hand in her worn bag and immediately took something out of her bag. A book that is also worn out, torn at the edges, and some pages are no longer attached to the book.

Rayhan is trying to complete his schoolwork as quickly as possible. Day is getting late, soon he must deliver supplies to the father. But he also had to complete his schoolwork right then and there. Because it's noon there's no free time for him.

"Ray, this is your father's. Hurry! Your father will be starving. "Mother Rayhan's orders.
"Momentarily Mom, Rayhan school's task is not finished yet, less!" Rayhan replied.
"Hurry up, kid! Now it's Dhuhur, Your father will rest a bit longer! "
"Later Rayhan will run when delivering supplies kok, Mom. his schoolwork is also almost finished, it will not be too late, "Rayhan said.
"Promise ya, watch out later if your father complained!" Threatens Mrs. Rayhan gently.
Soon Rayhan had finished all his schoolwork. He grabbed his Father's food box and ran to the field not far from the hut where he lived.

Where have you been? Daddy's been waiting. But you just drive now? "Said Mr. Rayhan with a slightly high tone.
"Sorry sir, there were a lot of school assignments!" Rayhan replied.
"school assignment? You said you do not need to go to school anymore, you're already 9 years old! You better help you work in the fields, get the money! After all we can end up living rich. No need to work hard. "Said Mr. Rayhan.
"But sir, if Rayhan does not go to school Rayhan will not do anything!"
"School? the school costs money, but we are not given anything! In fact burdened with this, with it! Better to make money, save, life is no longer difficult! "
"It's not that if we do not go to school we will be poor, we can not do anything, and we will be isolated? That's what the teachers say at school, sir. "
"Is it only with school we can suddenly rich? Do not you? That's useless! Schools can only make us poor! Never mind, Dad is hungry, you are just there! "Said Mr. Rayhan who then immediately eat the stock that has been wrapped for him.

Rayhan looked around. Lots of plants that spread widely in the lading. What is that plant? That is the question Rayhan has in mind. It is strange, a really wide field planting only one type of plant. But, the plant looks beautiful.

"What's wrong?" Mr. Rayhan asked on the sidelines of his meal.
"Sir, this is all that plant? Why is this field only planted?
"You do not know either. Since a few years ago, Bapak was only told to plant this plant same Juragan. The important thing you can money, earn income. The salary of planting this plant is indeed twice as big as any other plant. "
"Do not you ever ask what kind of plant this is with the Skipper? It's been a few years planting this plant really do not know what it's called! "
"Incidentally said skipper later he will give father one type of plant seeds again, which will be planted on the other side. Later will you ask. Now, let's help you clean the fields! "

They cleaned the fields together. Actually not all the fields, but only a patch of land used by Mr. Rayhan to rest after taking care of the plants in the fields.

It was getting late. It's time for them to return home soon. They walked along with sweat on the face. Pain really enveloped at that time. Because when they get home, they do not have time to sit down even for a few moments.

The next day was a day off. So Rayhan did not leave for school. But today is the day it works. Every month, Mr. Rayhan will give Rayhan a rather large package to give to the Juragan.
But this time, the packet was ready already late. Rayhan is too late to drive. But he did not want to be in a hurry. Because it might be self-defeating. It could also be falling, damaged, or lost.

"Son, please give this to the Skipper! Tell the Juragan, sorry for being late to deliver the goods! "Said Mr. Rayhan.
"Yes sir…"
"Remember, too, if there is a red bridge ..."
"Remember Mom, Rayhan until memorized Mother to talk what!" Rayhan said.

Rayhan immediately ran after saying that. However, in the middle of the trip Rayhan immediately stop the running rate and start walking normally. Not because of the fatigue that began to haunt him, but because the package almost fell over.

From a distance, a red suspension bridge stands firmly between the rivers of the river. But on top of it was a group of clouds that looked decisive to carry out his intentions. A black cloud that was completely black, which soon there was a lightning bolt of lightning that began to catch up.

The rain suddenly came down with a rush that did not allow Rayhan to take shelter. The package began to get wet. Suddenly Rayhan immediately ran to a small hut not far from the red suspension bridge.
The rain really does not seem to be easing. It's been a few hours but the rain will not stop. Rayhan getting bored, will he be able to return home before sunset.

Near the hut was a burly man whose rain was seen approaching the hut that also wanted to take shelter. They sit side by side. The man immediately started the conversation as he sat down.
"Want to be given to the Juragan, yes?" Said the man.
"What is going on? Do I know you? "Rayhan asked.
"No need to know me. I am the master of the Skipper. Since you were late to drop off, then he told me to take this item from you to get it faster. So, just give it to me and I'll give it to the Juragan. Tell your parents if the goods have been sent! "
"Fine, but are you really the master of the Skipper?"
"What do you think?"
"Yes, all right, thank you!"

After Rayhan thanked him, the man immediately moved from his seat and left immediately. Rayhan who was already soaked wet just go home, because although still storm with the wind blowing pretty tight, but there is no more goods to be delivered.

A few months later, Mr. Rayhan's duties are really numerous. So have to send his son to deliver the goods again. Spattered rain adorned with a truly beautiful twin rainbow accompanied Rayhan to deliver it.
The item has been wrapped with several layers of plastic. So Rayhan did not have to run around to drive her. He even looks fun and enjoy the rain that increasingly wet his face.

However, an unexpected thing happened. The red suspended bridge, which makes anyone who wants to cross must cross the flow of the river flowing. Rayhan surprised. He just waited, if there are people who want to cross.

"Delivering the goods again huh? I'm glad I'm here, so you do not have to struggle to take the goods to the Juragan's house. Let me just take it, like a few months ago! "Said the man who used to claim to be the master of the Juragan.
"But…"
"It is okay. Incidentally I also want to go home Juragan. I'll tell you why you can not come alone. "
"Thank you, but do not let the goods break down!"
"Of course…"

After seeing the man cross the river, Rayhan hurried home. He was very relieved not to have to cross that awful river. Because if someone who can not swim across the river without a boat, usually the person will drift and eventually died.

"How are you, son? How much faster than usual? "Ask Mother Rayhan.
"It's Mom. But earlier, the red suspension bridge collapsed. What caused the bridge to collapse, ma'am? "
"Do not know, maybe because it rained heavily yesterday, or maybe it's old."
"Is that so? Then, twice already there are people who help me to send goods to the home of my master, why would that person help me? "
"Did you ever help her?"
"No! I just do not know him ... "
"Maybe it's because he's nice and you're back?" Asked Mrs. Rayhan when she saw her husband just coming home from the fields.
"Make you tea, Mom!" Said Mr. Rayhan.
Shortly thereafter, Juragan came to the Rayhan family home. They are really surprised. It's not unusual for the Juragan to visit their home. Usually he tells people to want to know something.
"Parjo, I do not care about my current right now. Please keep the field, maybe one day I'll be back! "Said the master.
"What does the master mean?" Replied Mr. Rayhan.
"Look, I'm going out of town. And you do not need to send any more stuff now. You'd better tell yourself what you're going to send, do not have to tell your son when I'm back! But do not tell anyone if I go! Understand?"
"Understanding Juragan"
Juragan went straight from the Rayhan family home using his luxurious private car.

No more than a minute, there are some people who also use cars to come to the Rayhan family home.
"Mr Parjo?" Said someone from them.
"What is it? You are the police? "
"Is the field near this house yours?"
Because the Juragan has left the field, then Mr. Rayhan said,
"Right sir. What is it?"
"Our father caught, for planting and cultivating marijuana and cocaine. Now you have to come with us to the police station! "
The police immediately handcuffed Mr. Rayhan's hands. Rayhan and Rayhan's own mother was also shocked. They all do not understand that the plants in the field are marijuana and cocaine.
"But sir, we do not understand if it's all marijuana and cocaine!" Said Mr. Rayhan.
"Explain everything at the police station. You have also plundered a rich man to consume marijuana and cocaine, the Juragan. "

Finally they understand that the Skipper has tricked them all. However, the rice has become mush. The master has run away. All the punishments are only burdened to Mr. Rayhan. Because all the evidence leads to him.
But at that time there was also one of the other subordinates. He said that this is all the deeds of the Juragan, from those who employ some people to cultivate the fields, and the forbidden crops.
But is not the Juragan has run away with no traces left? So who is guilty now? The Police are ready to arrest Mr. Rayhan. Because all the evidence has led to him. So who should be responsible?
