At that time, Axijim was already six years old, and it was time for him to go to school. His father enrolled him in a public school near their house, where many other children from the community also studied.
On the first day of school, Axijim was taken by his mother. "Come on, Axijim, get ready! Today is your first day of school!" said his mother excitedly.
Axijim felt enthusiastic. He couldn't wait to experience the new experience at school. He imagined how it would feel to meet new friends and learn many interesting things.
After taking a bath and getting ready, Axijim enjoyed his mother's breakfast bread. "The bread is in the dining room, son. On the mat, in a plate. Don't forget to drink after eating!" said his mother.
Axijim finished his bread greedily and drank a glass of water. He was ready to start his new adventure at school.
"Mom! Axij has finished his breakfast."
"Yes, come on out quickly, we're leaving!"
Axij and his mother then walked to school.
"Meda, I'll take you to school first, I'm going to take Brother Axij to school. Meda will play with Dad at home, son!" while holding both of her child's cheeks.
"Yes, Mom, be careful!" answered Meda innocently.
"Dad, we'll take our leave first, we're going to school."
"Okay, we'll go first, Meda. Greetings!"
"Greetings too," answered Meda.
The mother and child went to school on foot, because they didn't have a vehicle, neither a riding animal nor a horse-drawn carriage.
**
When they arrived at school, the mother said, "Thank God, son, we've arrived at school."
"Yes, Mom, we've finally arrived."
Axijim observed the atmosphere around him. It was crowded, the other children were the same, all being dropped off by their parents.
"Mom! Come back home! I dare to be alone here, because there must be lots of friends here. You don't need to worry."
The mother was touched to see her child's courage. She kissed Axijim's forehead and said, "Okay my son, I will go back home. Take good care of yourself."
"Of course, ma'am."

Shortly after, Toot toot toot, the trumpet signaling the start of the lesson was sounded.
Now the trumpet has sounded, I have to go to class immediately, she said to herself.
"I'll take my leave, ma'am, greetings," said Axijim (waving his hand).
"Greetings too, my son," replied his mother.
His mother then went home after seeing her son had entered the classroom.
May you be a good and useful person, my son, may goodness and luck always accompany you, prayed Axijim's mother in her heart.
At school. Axijim was taught various kinds of knowledge. Starting from counting, painting, archery, horse riding, sword fighting, swimming and others.
He liked arithmetic the most, when he studied arithmetic he would definitely get the highest score.
Compared to his other friends, Axijim is the smartest child, he can best grasp what the teachers teach him.

That day was the introduction day for the students, the teacher entered while greeting "Greetings to all of you" said the teacher (smiling).
"Greetings too teacher" answered the students in unison.
The students sat in a row forming an arrow bow. And Axijim chose the front seat right in front of his teacher.
He listened carefully to what the teacher said to him.
"Let me introduce myself! The teacher's name is Teacher Jabar.
The teacher will be your homeroom teacher and the teacher will teach you arithmetic.
Now is the time for introductions, the teacher will point to you one by one, to come forward to introduce yourself.
While introducing yourself you also have to count, okay" continued the teacher Jabar gently.
"Teacher starting from you" said the teacher pointing to Axijim in front of him.
"Come on!"
"Okay teacher" answered Axijim with a slightly anxious face.
After being in front. "Okay, I'll start counting.
One, let me introduce myself, my name is Axijim Cepheuse.
Two, let me introduce my mother, Cassiopeia.
Three, let me introduce my father, Cepheus Orionus.
Four, I have a younger sister, Andromeda Cepheuse. Thank you."
The other students were amazed.
"Good Axijim, you should follow his example! He's a smart kid. He can do it straight away when he's told to do it the first time," the teacher praised Axij.
Prok prok prok. The other students applauded.

All students got their turn, they followed Axijim in introducing themselves.
The school lasted until noon, and when the sun had set to the west, the school was over. Toot toot toot, the trumpet signaling the end of the lesson had been sounded.
The students were then sent home, for students who were accompanied by their parents until the end of the lesson they went home with their respective parents.
Meanwhile, for students who were not accompanied by their parents until the time to go home, they were escorted by the teachers to their respective homes.
There were a total of 12 students in Axijim's class at that time, 6 boys and 6 girls.
"Mom! Greetings," called Axijim.
"Greetings too, my child, have you come home?"
"Yes, Mom, I've come home. Mom, let me introduce myself, this is teacher Jabar.
He was the one who took me home, ma'am." continued Axijim. "Thank you, teacher, for sending Axijim home," said Cassi to the West Java teacher. "You're welcome, ma'am. I am very impressed with your son, he is really smart, he is different from other students," the teacher replied praising Axijim.

Axijim's father who was still hunting in the forest, now began to prepare to go home because it was getting late.
Cepheus only got one deer females for their food supply for the next three days.
Cassi, Axij, and Meda, the three of them had been waiting for their father's arrival since earlier, and couldn't wait to eat the game that Cepheus had caught.
"Greetings, father is home," said the father. "Greetings too, Dad," the three of them answered in unison.
"Father brought a female deer for us to eat tonight and for the next three days," the father continued.
"Great, we're eating deer tonight," Meda greeted cheerfully.
"Yeeh, we eat deer, father is really kind, knowing we are craving for deer" Axijim added.
"What do you think we are going to do with this deer?" asked his father to his family.
"Just grill it, Dad! It looks delicious," suggested Meda.
"Okay, I'll grill this deer, you guys just wait for it to cook!"
Father prepared a grill to grill the deer meat, he was helped by Axijim.
Meanwhile Cassi made seasoning as a flavoring for the roasted deer.
"Mom! I'll help you make the seasoning," said Meda.
"Yes, my child," answered Cassi.
"We'll make a special seasoning for the roasted deer tonight," continued Meda happily.
That night they eating the roasted deer made by the father, complemented with special spices made by the mother and Meda.
The father deliberately chose the deer thigh to be roasted because his two children really liked it.
"Dad!, I was asked to count by the West Java teacher, and I could, he praised me, I really very happy."
"Really my child? "You are indeed a smart child," praised Dad.
"Yes, that's right, my husband, the teacher himself told me earlier," added Mom.
"How is that possible?" asked Dad in surprise.
"Of course, because the West Java teacher himself took Axijim home," explained Cassi.
"Oh , that's how it is."
**
Axij and Meda ate the roasted deer made by their father with great gusto and finally they were both full.
They didn't even realize that they had fallen asleep after finishing the roasted deer thigh.
Without them realizing it, their father then took them both of them to sleep in their own rooms.
