At night, Rila had already reached her home because she was coming home today. He put his bike in front of his house and went inside while lifting the cardboard on a bicycle that had emptied into the house.
Rila knocked on the door with one hand and the sound of the door opening was heard making a squealing sound.
The open door showed the figure of a middle-aged woman who was none other than Mother Rila who opened the door.
Rila stepped in with a smile, "mother today is quite exhausted" he said.
After Rila entered, Rila's mother closed the door again and picked up the expert lifting the cardboard in Rila's hand.
"Eh, no ma'am," Rila refused to distance herself.
"Let Mother keep it, let's go Rila go eat, it's see I've prepared for Mother's daughter," pinta Ibu Rila picked up the expert lifting the cardboard and carried it towards the bathroom next to the kitchen. In front of two bedrooms.
Rila was forced to give in, he walked towards the table and long-sleeved chairs that were in the living room that would first be seen when entering the house. He landed his butt on the chair and stared at the food on the table in front of him.
Food in the form of a plate of fried rice, with one egg ceplok, vegetables on it and added fried shallots. Really seeing the fried onion makes Rila's taste rise drastically, he immediately took the plate and one hand held a tablespoon.
Rila also devoured his fried rice filled with a feeling of pleasure while staring straight at the convex screen television that was on the table like a closet. He caught a remote on the table and wanted to pick it up to turn on the television.
Television also managed to turn Rila on, while eating he watched television watching television shows two the spot.

After the meal, the shower cleaned up, now Rila is preparing to sleep with her mother in one room.
The room next to Rila's room was empty because of her father and mother's former room. Her mother temporarily did not want to occupy the room for unexplained reasons.
The mother and daughter were lying on the bed hugging each other with a blanket covering half of the body.
"Mother, where did you go?" asked Rila who hugged her body tightly from the side.
Rila's mother rubbed the back of her Daughter's hair, "don't ask her again Rila or tell her about the cunning man, go to sleep," she rebuked.
Rila nodded obediently hearing her mother's words.
"Mother knows, I'm just anxious about mom, mom without dad should be strong, there's Rila who always accompanies mom," said Rila in her mother's arms sounding very soft.
Mother Rila and Rila momentarily stared at each other with haru's face.
"Mother will also always accompany this very beautiful mother's daughter," Mother Rila replied with a gentle smile. She kissed Rila's forehead gently.
"Mom, tomorrow and so on I will continue to trade to pay our debts and needs mother, mother does not need to come along so that Rila alone sells mother chips that are very tasty." Vigorously Rila smiled saying that. She stared into her mother's bead with teary eyes.
Rila's mother hugged her daughter's body tightly back while rubbing her back.
"Bad kid, well mom won't trade but mom will make a lot of chips,"
"Tomorrow and so on I will help the trading mother," said Rila.
"Mother is very lucky to have a daughter like you," replied Rila's mother in a very soft voice to the bottom of Rila's heart.
A quiet, dark night. It means a lot to the mother and the child. They fell asleep before sharing many stories.

A month later ...
The early summer of the month, where everything has restarted. After the end of the season holidays now welcome the early summer.
The daytime state is so hot, where the highway is crowded with cars, motorcycles and other means of transportation. Polluted air pollution adds to the dense atmosphere of large cities consisting of skyscrapers adding to global warming.
Next to the bus stop, a crouching girl was repairing her broken bicycle chain. The clothes and pants that are striking collided with each other making the girl the center of attention around the people waiting for the bus to come.
"See the girl's clothes? what year did he live to wear such a garish outfit?"
"The colors collide once,"
"Very flashy,"
"Look at her two hairpins, like a child hahahaha,"
"The glasses are very thick, must be the nerds are very ugly," the throws are heard from the people standing under the roof of the bus stop. They looked at the figure of the girl who fixed her bicycle chain under the scorching heat of the sun.
That girl is none other than Rila. After fixing the bike chain, he stood up and removed the gloves from the rubber material and put the gloves back in a bicycle basket.
A white bus stopped in front of the bus stop. Suddenly the people waiting there also turned their eyes to the bus that had arrived.
For a moment out the passengers who were on the bus because it stopped at that destination. All the passengers were on average made up of students in white-gray uniforms.
Those waiting for the bus for the next departure also entered the bus after the previous passenger exited.
Rila who finished putting down the gloves, she glanced sideways at the sight of the students in gray white uniforms standing under the roof of the stop. Seeing teenagers of his age who joked with his friends and laughed crisply.
Sadness attacked Rila seeing that. It was so far from the bottom of his heart that he wanted to be like those who could go to school, have lots of friends, and joke with each other. But he realized it could never happen considering he was no longer in school and busy trading to help his mother.
Not wanting to be sadder for long, Rila also took a bottle of water and opened the bottle and drank it in three gulps. Then he put another bottle in the basket of his bike in front. Finished closing it, Rila rushed away from it by pushing a bicycle along the roadside.

Rila walked down the lonely road, passing people's houses while pedaling bicycles and looking right left.
While enjoying the wind that pierced her nose, there was a humming of a sad song that came out on the lips of the girl. Very touching of heart.
While in the T-junction and Rila took a straight path without looking at the left corner until a loud cry of someone approaching him.
"Wooohhhh lookout!!" the man shouted like a young man. He rode a black race bike with his head and face covered in a helmet.
Rila was shocked to hear the scream, until his bike stopped right in the middle of the road and his body was tense so he could not be moved so shocked when he saw a large motorbike that was likely to hit him.
