“Where is your house?” ask Kayla
“My house is there, not too far from here. But if walking is good for the body to be healthy” said Rio half joking
“You're not tired of coming here? How do you continue to school?”

“Eh yes bak, this knife all so 49 thousand bak”
“This is the money, the change take aja” he passed away leaving Rio and Kayla

“By very, only you are sure to want friends with poor” said Rio
“Indeed why, the important thing is not rich or poor kan”
“Yes you are right, from now on we are friends” Rio reached out his hand and Kayla received Rio's helping hand
“I go home first yes, afraid to be sought same papah, must be worried papah because I just said play for a while” Kayla say goodbye to Rio

“Tomorrow you sell here again right? I want to help?” ask Kayla
“You seriously want to help me?”
“Iya I'm serious, yes I've met tomorrow ya” Kayla waved and left Rio
Rio went back around in that park.
“It was late afternoon, I had to go home. Thank God today many are sold, so I can give to dad to buy rice.”
Rio was very happy, because today he can give money to his father and he can also save. Rio saved up to buy shoes for his father, if the money is more he will use to help pay for his school fees. He keeps his money afraid there will be a need, at least he does not need to ask his father because there is money savings.
Upon arrival at Rio's house immediately gave the money from the sale. The goods that Rio sold took from the store near his house, then he peddled and the results could be taken. The profit obtained by Rio 1000-2500, and the results are given to the shop owner. Usually Rio to the stall is 2/3 days, depending on the goods if there are many who sell it to the stall to take tissue and nuts again. Tomorrow Rio must go to the stall because the sale has stayed a little.
“Assalamualaikum well bu”
“Waalaikumsalam”
“Home home son, take a shower first let your body fresher”
“Iya bu”
Rio went into his room put the bag and took the towel, then he went to the bathroom to remove the smell of sweat and make his body fresher.
“Sini nak” Call the father
“Oiya this money selling Rio well, thank God there was a person who bought a lot of tissue so it can be a lot today. Dad bought rice using this money aja” said Rio
“You save it for snacks, if you buy rice dad there”
“What's wrong, I also have money for snacks, besides I also rarely want to buy rice. Accept ya yah”
“Iya yah”
“Now you are ready to wear sarongs and peci, then to the mosque. Daddy shower first”
Rio nodded.
From childhood Rio has been taught about religion, so that later when it is mature there is no lack of knowledge and does not lose direction because of association. When selling Rio always remember to pray, if it has entered the dzuhur time he will look for a mosque that is close to dzuhur or ashar prayers.
Rio and his father were ready to go to the mosque. The habit of Rio or his father, before returning from the mosque or finishing congregational prayers, he must approach neighbors or residents to chat or just greet.
Before returning home Rio and his father stopped by the stall to buy rice.
“Bu buy one kilo rice yes, how much bu?”
“One kilo is this? No less sir?” ask the shopkeeper
“No ma'am, later if less buy again” replied Rio's father
“Oh yes sir, one kilo 9 thousand pak”
“This bu” Father Rio give money 9 thousand
“This rice”
“Thank you bu”
“Iya equally pak”
Rio and his father went home with the rice he had bought. Usually they only buy half a kilo, enough for 2 days if the day or night eating sweet potatoes. Because today can be sustenance so buy 1 kilo.
“Assalamualaikum bu” call dad Rio
“Waalaikumsalam, already home ya” replied mother Rio “What is it that brought well?” connect Rio's mother
“This is rice ma'am, I bought it at warung”
“Oh, buy how much yah?”
“Saru kilo, because Rio sold a lot so to buy rice. The fish is still there ma'am, I did not buy the fish the money is not enough.”
“Yes there is well, the eggs are the rest of two grains and there is the rest of the salted fish in the neighbor yesterday”
“Ya already mom rest aja, let dad cook”
“Mother help yah”
“No need ma'am, I'll call you breakfast together. You learn first Rio, dad cook first”
“Iya yah”
Rio went into his room, he took out a bag and took out a book to study.
After almost half an hour Rio's father called.
“Bu, Rio let's eat. Already cooked all” call him
“Yes well, mom out”
“Let's eat, after that we pray isya and you can rest Rio. It was already sold must be tired of traveling around kan” said the father
“Yes well, dad ate a lot, mom also”
“You also eat a lot so fast big and strong learn also sales”
Ningsih was proud of her son, she never complained about the circumstances he lived. He never asked for anything that made his parents difficult. He was grateful that his son had grown up to be a strong boy. Actually, he did not have to see Rio who was still a child had to work, but he also could not do anything. Hopefully later there will be a miracle that can change the fate of his family, that is the hope of Ningsih every time.
