Be Strong Girl's

Chapter 8's

Now I walk home to my contract to do a college assignment that I have not finished.Today my body has improved, my body does not feel weak anymore, I feel weak, I no longer feel pain in my head.I carry Paper Bag in my right hand because of the crackle given by Bu Daisy which turns out the contents are fried rice I ate up and the crackle I throw in the trash.

From a distance I saw a grandmother standing next to a zebra cross, apparently he wanted to cross but the vehicle was crowded.The grandmother continued to stand waiting for the traffic light red while occasionally squeezing her stomach, I don't know what happened to her stomach.

I walked up to Grandma, "Mom, grandma wants to cross?" I asked in a loud voice so that the grandmother could hear me because the noise of the vehicle in front of me was very disturbing.

The grandmother looked at me "Yes, son, but the vehicle was very crowded" replied the grandmother in an already weak voice, fortunately I could still hear her voice, which she said, my grandmother was about 60 years old.

"I'm with ya nek" said I offered myself to accompany him.

Soon the traffic lights were red, I lead grandma walking in a white and black line.My right hand holds the left shoulder of the grandmother and my left hand stops the right vehicle lined neatly next to me forming like a person who confronted✋more precisely I asking for a way on them, fearing traffic lights change color because grandma runs very slowly, I have to be admired because her age is advanced and certainly her strength is also not as strong as before.

Now we - me and my grandmother - have managed to split the crowd of vehicles, of course with the help of red lights.

I saw that grandma squeezing her stomach so hard again "Grandmother is sick?" My toot.

Grandma nodded her head "Grandmother hasn't eaten from yesterday son" she replied still with a squeeze on her stomach.

"Well!" I screamed with a surprised face and my mouth wide open.

"Where are the grandchildren?"

"Grandmother has no children–" she replied.

"The story while sitting down" I cut off his unresolved words and led the grandmother to sit in a suburban chair.

"Wait a minute, Grandma!" I walked away from my grandmother who was still sitting in a suburban chair.

I looked for a food stall on the edge, but I did not find it.There is no other option I entered into a restaurant that is not too big "Bu rice white side dish of fish, tempe, tofu, tofu, and eggs yes ma'am" I said to the seller.

Then the mother immediately took the one I mentioned earlier.

Moments later she gave me a black crackle "so how many bu?" I asked while taking over the crackle from his hand.

"Thirty-five thousand" he answered.

Then I took the money out of my pocket and gave some money to the mother of the seller.

"Thank you" I said as I walked out of the restaurant.

Honestly, I have never gone in and bought food at a restaurant, because I know it must have cost more than what was sold in a suburban stall.Given the grandmother who said she had not eaten from yesterday, because she said she had not eaten, inevitably I have to go into the restaurant because there is no food seller on the edge.Perhaps if I look for it must find it, but it took me a long time to walk down the outskirts of the city and grandma could have starved to death.It was fortunate that I got some extra money from Miss Daisy earlier, and I don't have to buy fast food at the supermarket because Miss Daisy gave me fried rice.

I ran around to go to the grandmother and give her food, I know for sure she is holding back how sick and painful her stomach is because it has not been fed since yesterday 'Not eating from yesterday' - ah already I can't imagine it.

The grandmother looked up at me, then she took the crackle in my hand.She opened the crackle and took the package inside.I sat down beside her, I saw her who was eating food greedily, and I looked at her, her face was already wrinkled, her cheeks were already deflated, and the hair was already gray - rather all her hair - I caught the expression on Grandma's face like it was happy.

"I alone who have not eaten half a day can faint twice, but the grandmother of yesterday did not eat her face not pale and fainted - I do not know, it could have been that he had passed out before meeting me.Could it be because I have mag disease?" My mind looked at the grandmother who was eating the food I gave.

"Grandma wait a minute huh" I stood up and walked a few feet to buy a drink.

"One-deck mineral water" I said to the children who sold it.

"5000 feet" he said, giving me a bottle of mineral water.

I received a mineral bottle from him and gave him a note "Just take it back" I said.

"Thank you very much" he answered with great excitement.

"It's granny, drink first" I said to the grandmother, the food was finished, even very clean, the grandmother ate it until there was a side dish or rice left.

Grandma took a mineral bottle from me and drank it, I smiled looking at her.

"Thank you very much, son!may you be healthy always, waged his sustenance and business, become a successful person, get a good soul mate, and can boast of both your parents" he said giving many good prayers to me.

For some reason the last prayer he said was like sticking in my heart, my chest was tight when I heard him say the phrase 'proud of your parents'

"My parents didn't think I existed"I thought.

It did not feel like a circle of clear liquid wet my cheeks, very sick considering the treatment of papah against me.I want to be loved like a child in general, like a child in general, papah is not like a father outside there who loves his son very much.From the first I only want one word out of the mouth papah, only one word 'Proud'.From childhood until now it was just that word that I hoped would come out of papah's mouth, not the harsh words that he uttered, not the words that always made my heart ache, even his words that broke my spirit and broke me.

"Son, what's wrong with you? why crying?" Ask grandma to worry about me.

I realized that I was crying in front of her "I-I'm fine! I was just moved to listen to the prayers that Grandma said" I lied.

I immediately removed the clear liquid that had soaked my cheek up to my chin.

"Oh yeah, this is for grandma!" I crouched down and took off the sandals I was wearing and put my sandals on Grandma's feet.

"Don't kid! later you are hot, the streets of Sydney are hot" he said, refusing while wanting to remove the sandals I gave him.

I held the grandmother's hand to remove the slippers I had put on her "It's okay, grandma, I can buy it again" I replied with a smile.
