Short story is an abbreviation fromstory short. There are various all kinds of short stories in languageIndonesia with various types stages in the storyline. One of storyline which is often used and easy to understand is the forward flow. To better understand the short story with a forward flow, here are examples:

Today, Tono came home from school early because the teachers had an important meeting. As usual, he went home on foot with his best friend, Dito. Tono and Dito's house is not far from the school so it can be reached only on foot.

When passing through the intersection, Tono saw a piece of paper right under a mango tree on the side of the road.

"Wait, Dit," said Tono. Dito immediately stopped his steps.

Tono immediately approached the paper he saw to make sure his estimate was correct or not. It is true! The sheet of paper he saw was a hundred thousand notes.

"Look, Dit. I got the money!” said Tono happily as he ran to the confused Dito.

"Whose money is that, Ton?" asked Dito.

"I do not know. I got it under the tree and now it's mine," Tono put the money in his pocket, "I'll treat you, come on."

"Oh, oh. What if people come and ask for the money? It must be returned." Dito refused.

"Huh, okay if you don't want to. I want to play PS and eat meatballs until I'm satisfied, ah. Drugs." Tono also walked away ignoring Dito's words, while Dito just shook his head.

After being satisfied playing, Tono went home. He was very satisfied today. The money he found earlier had been used to play and eat.

"Ton, looks like you can't attend the farewell party at school," Mom suddenly came over with a confused, sad face.

"Oh, why, ma'am?" Tono, who had been waiting for the event for a long time, was clearly disappointed with Mother's words.

“The money was gone when Mother came home. It seems to have fallen at a crossroads. Mother has no more money to pay for the farewell party, while the deadline for payment is tomorrow morning. Where can you get one hundred thousand in a day, selling from morning to evening, you don't necessarily get that much, "explained Mother while tidying up her selling basket.

Tono immediately remembered the notes he had found this afternoon. It must be Mother's money, he mumbled to himself. "T.. But, ma'am…”

"Ah never mind. Mother is already difficult, don't make it more difficult. The farewell ceremony is not an important event. I'm tired, I want to rest."

Tono also regrets taking what is not his and now he has to accept the consequences of his actions.
