ARETTAS

NIGHT MARKET

The morning came, everything went as usual. The mother who still goes to the market every morning, Aretta who has to get up early to go to school.

There is only a slight difference in the father. Now I no longer make Aretta his beautiful motorcycle, because now I already have a motorcycle. That said, the inventory from the commander.

That morning my father was busy with taking out his motorcycle, trying to heat the motor, until the sound of his exhaust made it uncomfortable in the ear.

"Are you want to be taken not to go to school ?" Said the father approaching his son who was cool eating his favorite chicken porridge.

"That's okay, yeah ?" Ask Aretta.

"What the hell can't make a father's son ?"

Answer the father rubbed his son's head.

"Keep Steady how ?" Ask Aretta again.

"Yes, it is Ajakin, the period of death. The son of a man." Say father while eating breakfast that has been prepared by mother.

"How will I go home ? Are you walking ?"

"Later let me go home, especially to pick up this father's favorite son." Say father again.

"Yeahy ." Aretta cheers happily.

"When do we go for a walk, huh ? Can you not ?" Ask Aretta again.

"How about ntar malem ? Mumpung tomorrow Sunday. Dad's off too, over shift right. Tomorrow the new malem enter the malem. Coincidentally there's a mallem market in the village next door." Father explained.

"Hollee. . .! We'll go together, ma'am ?" Turning his gaze toward the mother who was still busy pacing her trade.

"Money from where toh Ree, make a mediocre meal. Especially taking a walk ?" Answer mom flat.

"Once in a while, ma'am. . . All this time, we hardly ever walk. About money, I still have the rest of the salary. Enough for us to be malem." Father reassured mother.

"Yes, it's up to me. I'm coming !" Answer mom finally.

"Horrreeeeee. . . !" Aretta's saying is getting happier.

"Nr. . ." A girl's voice from the front of the house.

"No, Tati has come. Come on, father anterin." Say dad immediately get ready and get close to his bike.

Seeing that, Aretta also rushed to follow her father after not forgetting to bring her typical schoolboy carry bag.

"Come on Tati ! Today we're off to be ushered in by Are's father." Take Aretta to Tati after getting a seat in front of her father.

Tati according and without asking much, immediately ride the Aretta motorbike, which took a sitting position behind Aretta's father.

The motorbike was not so fast, this was the first time Aretta went to school with her father on a motorcycle.

Understandably, if they are not from a family of capable people. Let alone to buy a motorbike, to eat everyday, mediocre.

Day

Mentari has returned to his contest, now lives the moon that must carry out its task of illuminating the earth.

In the corner of the room, sitting pecking at a little girl alone. By wearing loose jeans with a pink t-shirt that does not forget wrapped in a brown velvet jacket. His feet had been pressed by the circular rope slippers heeled.

Yes, she is Aretta. Who was waiting for his father's arrival. Because this morning I promised to take him for a walk.

Aretta doesn't want to keep her father waiting long. Therefore, he was prepared from after completing the magrib prayer.

Tint, tiiint. . .

The sound of a horn was heard from the front of the house.

Ceklaaaakk

Pintupun open.

Aretta was so happy to see the figure she had been waiting for since, now in front of her.

"Campaign,. . My son is beautiful." Praise the father when he sees his daughter dressed.

"Yes, from abis magrib, you want to be ready. Even though I said it was still a long time not horrified." Said the mother who had been between the father and Aretta.

"Let's let me go home, we can go straight away, ma'am. Are don't want me to wait too long. . ." Aretta defended herself.

"But I have to take a break, Ree has to eat first, take a shower first." Say mother again.

"So my dad took a shower at work, Mom. If you eat, it will be easy. Dad change clothes first ya daft, that's why we're leaving immediately." Father hurried.

Meanwhile, Aretta is already on the bike, with a sitting position in front.

It has become his favorite place, because according to him, let's see the scenery.

Not long after, Dad came out. By using black cotton pants, long clothes in dark green, and do not forget to combed hair neatly.

Makes his authority more visible.

"Are you ready ?" Said my father when he was on the bike. Not forgetting the mother behind him.

"Siaaaapp. !" Aretta said excitedly.

"If so, we'll figure it out !" Said Dad while turning the gas motor.

The night wind that blew hard, did not dampen Aretta's intentions in the least. He was very enthusiastic when he heard his father's invitation to go for a walk. The highway lights accompany the happy family trip. House by house passed, until they passed through several villages, and stopped at a place to go. Night market.

"Finally up to !" The father's speech stopped his motorbike in a parking lot not far from where he would have been.

At once Aretta and mom get off the bike which takes her to the destination.

"Mother, Are going to ride that later huh ? Rise that too, keep bli it, buy that too !" Aretta said pointing to various things that she thought were interesting.

"Yes, I'm patient. Let's wait for Dad !" Mother said as she occasionally glanced at the father who was chatting with a woman who was standing not far from the parking lot.

"Let's go in !" Father said when he finished talking, while holding Aretta's hand.

"Who was talking to ?" Ask the curious mother.

"Oh that. . . That's dad's newsman Mom, he's here too."

"Oh, that. . ."Say mother without any suspicion.

"Are going up that yeah, yeah ?" Aretta pointed to a game.

"Yes, boleeh. I'll buy the ticket first !" Said the father who immediately approached the ticket seller and immediately bought it.

"Now Are up yes. . . I'm the same mom wait here." Said the father raising his son in the game, while giving tickets to the operator.

"Dad wants to buy a drink first ma'am, there !" Said the father pointing to the ice merchant located across the game.

Mom just nodded her head while smiling thinly.

Father passed away leaving mother, while mother was busy looking at her son who was busy playing games. His eyes were on a man he knew very well. The man was chatting familiarly with a middle-aged woman who still looked beautiful. So familiar, even the man laughed loosely.

"Who is that woman ? Why are you so familiar with him ?" Mother impales.
