I WANT TO KNOW FAR

“You've eaten?” satrio asked when he met Timah. It was 02:30 noon when Timah left the school. School hours are usually up to 04:00 in the afternoon. Today is only until 2:30.

“Alhamdulillah already,” reply Tin received the helmet that Satrio gave.

“In snacks in the canteen there are those that make you full?”

“I brought Mas. If you buy it in the cafeteria, you will wait a long time. And sometimes there are also obstacles. So every day, Mas Herry and I always bring school meals. Mas Yanto work also brought lunch.” reply Tin.

“Herry also bring meal?” Satrio asked to make sure.

“Yes. At the beginning of school, he only had time to bring bread because he did not have time for lunch. When the hour of rest must always be busy, so he ate a piece of bread. The important thing is that his stomach is not empty. Later in the new house he ate rice. But now after the completion of the introductory period he brought rice,” replied Timah again.

“Good wah ya your parents prepare provisions,” Satrio envied parents Tin.

“Not prepared. We prepare ourselves. Every day we bring the juice Mbak Fitri who prepares, as well as he prepares for Mas Yanto. But if the rice and side dishes mom just prepare. Solved set what we want to bring yes we have to set according to our own taste.”

“Mas Yanto also brought rice. Not because we are stingy, but health is more guarded by Mbak Fitri. We can't just snack. We also still have pocket money from Mas Yanto and Mbak Fitri. But we never use daily snacks. We save it for occasional snacks.”

“Then you prepare the provision how?” ask Satrio. He'd want to know.

“No shame bring stock?”

“We are not begging or begging. Why should I be ashamed?” quick Tin reply. He started riding Satrio's bike.

“Why begging kok shy?” Satrio asked more and more. He became increasingly curious about the mindset of one Timah family which according to him is very different from the scope of his family.

“If you can still try why should you beg? Is not the hand above better than the hand below? No matter how hard we never beg. Even since my father was sick, my mother forbade us from debt, because later it would be troublesome. So when dad got sick we sold all the cars and houses. In the end, we really had nothing. In our home there is no such thing as a television, refrigerator or any other item. All that remains is Mas Yanto motorbike and it was also sold for maternal medical expenses. Then mom became a laundry worker in the neighbor,” said Timah without shame.

“Mas Yanto did not want to go to college, he chose to work to make money. Since STM, Mas Yanto who supports me and Mas Herry is also a mother. Both the cost of food and the mother's medicine. Since STM he is looking for money for all of us,” said Timah.

“That is why since childhood me and Mas Herry tried to make money to ease the burden of Mas Yanto, because from STM he has become our backbone without being asked by mother.”

“Since our childhood self-awareness. Mas Herry is in charge of cleaning mosques and mosques so that they can get weekly rice so that Yanto mas money does not need to buy rice,”, Timah continued.

‘Yeah, I never lack anything still I often complain if the money I want to need is not given by mom and dad. Not that I do not understand, but my need for activities is high and mama and papa are a lot of money. If you buy jewelry only items that are never used are purchased again. Being making my activities surely mama will be stingy,’ Satrio said in his heart.

Satrio became more and more want to know the Yanto family and Herry and Timah is so heard how their mother prefers to be a washing worker when she knew that Timah said selling cars and houses means it's not just one car they've had before. This means that the mother was not a difficult person.
