ARETTAS

BICYCLES FOR US

A month has passed since my father told me about his new job. Everything is still going as usual.

Aretta had to go to school on foot, a mother who had to go to the market with a rickshaw motorcycle, and a father who was still faithful commute to work on foot as well.

The distance between the father's workplace and home is not too far, only about one kilometer. But still, it makes you feel tired when you have to do it every day.

Until one day, . .

"Mom, tomorrow at noon I'm gonna go for a minute." Father said as he sat on the porch with Aretta and mom.

It was already common for them to do every night if the father was not getting the work part of the night.

"Where are you going, Dad ? Will you take his work off tomorrow ?" Ask the curious mother.

"Dad to surprise." Fatherly speech

"What surprise, dad ?" Ask Aretta enthusiastically.

"Surprise times are told, later not a surprise anymore dong." Saying with a light smile.

"Ih, rich dad is now mah. Not exciting ah." Aretta said as she put her lips together.

"Father's son if already rich manyun that's not beautiful anymore ah." Say father while pinching his son's nose.

"Abis his father is so rich, so curious." Said spoiled Aretta.

"Yes, now sleep there. It's malem. Do not forget to wash your feet before going to bed." Continue father.

"Gendoong." Aretta said still in her potent tone.

Aretta really likes her father, even though she was in the fourth grade of elementary school. Understand, child only wayang. Moreover, Aretta is a child who is very coveted by her father.

"Yes already, fat daddy. But then go to sleep ?" He said, bowing his body in front of Aretta.

Without thinking for long, Aretta immediately wrapped her hands around her neck and immediately climbed up the father's back.

Morning

"Where is mom ? Is there any morning ?" Aretta asked her mother who was still busy serving buyers.

"Are you forgot, did you say you wanted to go first." Say mother.

"Well, take a shower, keep eating breakfast. Abis, help me wait for the shop. I want to cook." Say mother.

"What do you want to cook, Mom ?" Answer Aretta who is still lying.

"Beat your favorite food, especially if it's not asem vegetables and salted fish." Answer mother.

"Yes, . ." Aretta suddenly got excited and headed straight for the bathroom.

Meanwhile Aretta rushed to help the mother to wait for the stall, while the mother cooked her favorite menu.

Suddenly Aretta was sitting in front of her mother's stall. . .

Kring.kriiiig. . .

"Yeahahh." Aretta said that she was busy cooking her mother.

"What's up Are?" Mom ran to hear her son scream.

"See dad, ma'am . . .!" Appointing father.

While the father just smiled while parking his vehicle.

"Who's bike is it ?" Ask the curious mother.

"Siname. . ." Said Dad excited.

"This is our bike, mom, I told Semalem, if you want a surprise for Aretta's mom." Continue father.

"Yeah." Said Aretta while tiptoeing with excitement.

"But where did you get the money ?" Ask mom again.

"Mom forgot yes, if you're working already ? This is dad's first salary. This bike can later be made for mothers to the market early in the morning, after that Aretta can be made to shuttle father to work, and can also make Aretta school dipake. Let father's son not be soiled." Said the father while stroking the head of his favorite child.

"Thank God, eventually little by little we can buy what we need huh, well." Mama's words are relieved.

Such is the mother, who is always grateful for the sustenance she has received.
