“Pull!" His screams were loud so that his father as the driver heard his voice. The red cargo was also speeding through the streets of the subdistrict city. She is Vita Maharani, the second daughter of the angkot driver. Its lush and large body with long decomposed hair adds to its haunted impression. It was like a professional kernet he was screaming all the way.
"SP3, Pattallasang, Paris, Palleko, Patani, Paria!” absence for the path that will be passed angkotnya. Repeatedly saying the names of the places to be passed until his voice was a little hoarse.
"Front left sir!" shouted the passenger in angkot, a middle-aged mother, her hands filled with grocery baskets. Looks like he climbed up from the market earlier. He kindly gave his freight to Vita. The money was received with a smile.
"Pull!" he shouted again a sign of angkot had to go forward leaving black smoke from the exhaust that is rarely treated due to lack of income.
Whether made from what the nose of Vita Maharani, his sense of smell is so good to smell the cuisine even from a very long distance. When angkot passed through the Pattallasang market area. The aroma of Coto Makassar has waved and seduced the five senses in his body. The shadow of the piece of beef in a very distinctive broth formed a wave in his intestines. His tongue soaked his lips holding back the saliva that was already impatient to drip.
“Stop! Dad!” he shouted impatiently.
“Ciiiiiiit!” Suddenly the car stopped suddenly. The sound of the tires colliding with the asphalt made all the passengers shocked. Some passengers even got dragged and moved seats.
“What's up?" ask everyone in the mail. Some began to grumble in annoyance and some were still confused by what happened.
“Sorry, mothers and fathers, we stop first." said vita cengengesan.
“I'm hungry, “more while holding his super big belly seen from any angle.
“If you want to wait a minute yes, I can't stand.” Vita also ran towards the Makassar coto stall on the side of the road.
“For a very long time, we can be late nih” passengers who had been nagging incessantly getting angry. Dad's just a head shake. And left angkot to the same stall that Vita visited. Dad just stared at his daughter had spent 3 bowls of coto along with dozens of rhombus.

“Pull!” yelled Vita with excitement because the energy was full. Angkot also drove back to take passengers to their respective destinations. Vita's voice accented still adorning the trip in the scorching afternoon.
After circling around the city, finally the angkot arrived at his cage. It is already dusk, the sun has completed its task today to shine light on the earth.
"Capek Dad?" Greet the mother while carrying cold water in a bottle for her beloved husband.
"Hmm, no kok”m shook his head slowly
“Capek dad lost with daddy girl" his smile later while fanning his face full of sweat.
"Go take a shower, son!" mom turned to look at Vita who was still busy counting the deposit money this time. Seen he frowned counting over and over.
"Why?" Ask the father, approach his daughter
"Our deposits are lacking, Dad" he said sadly. He remembered these few days the deposit was always lacking so that the owner of the taxi was always angry with an unsightly face. Mr. Muin the owner of the angkot repeatedly threatened to take back his angkot if the income never increased. My father only has the skills as a driver.
Father sighed heavily, after sipping cold water from the bottle that mother brought him, he said,
"Conditions now are like this, passengers are less while the operational costs are more, many already have a private vehicle, they become lazy to wait at the Terminal. Moreover, there is an on-len ojek, which is faster than our angkot." a smile still develops from his wrinkled lips. Funneling the spirit to Vita the kernet as well as his beloved daughter. His hand gently stroked the princess' head.
"Today's sustenance, we're grateful son. May you have the rest tomorrow."
“Aamiin” answered mom and Vita together while rubbing their faces with reverence.
The night is getting late. The sound of the night beast was like the music of the entertainer in a quiet atmosphere. After dinner, the three of them relaxed in the rickety halls in front of the house. Vita is still at home lying on the lap of the mother. His long black hair was left to be stroked and combed by his mother.
"Vita, you're diligent in shampoo, right?" Said his mother
"It's just sticky, isn't it?" this time combing using his fingers while looking for a family of lice and their eggs. Once twice Mother pierced the little creature in her thumb.
"Well these two days ain't shampooing ma'am, smells yeah?" Smelling the smell of his own hair while a crybaby smelled a bad smell and quite greasy.
"A habit, girls how do you think this is so?" Tell the smooth landing after his approval, Vita snatched.
“Aww, pain bu.” Vita stroked her head pretending to be sick. Mom just smiled.
“This all so that the nails are dead all” this time mother adds her to her feet with anxiety.
“Momukk."
"Later don't report to the prince of your dreams let him run away." his mother teased.
"Vita uses shampoo until it's finished a bottle, no one wants to be friends with me ma'am, beuhhh let alone the prince, " he said with pursed lips.
“Am I really bullukan ya bu?” the feeling of inferiority increasingly gnawed at her heart, Mother took a breath while her hands did not stop stroking her daughter's hair.
"Don't think so, son. They may not know how to be friends with Vita, because Vita is too special."
“Special what mom, kayak martabak aja use special, hahahha” her fat body vibrates because it feels funny. mother can always comfort her. Then mom continued,
“Beautiful looks are necessary, not just for others but more for our own happiness."
"Beautiful and feel beautiful it must be a child, so that we are grateful, grateful for what has been loved by God." Add her mother kalem while mentoel cheeks her daughter. Vita just pursed her lips.
"For me, Vita is the prettiest daughter besides your sister Gita." this time I joined in, sitting next to you.
"You Father's prettiest daughters, you're proud of yourselves." Dad's face seemed to be radiant with weariness all day making a living for his family.
"So? Is Mom not pretty?" Mom sulks, Vita feels funny.
"Mother is the most beautiful, and now she's dropping it off for the daughters of the father." father defended himself by praising mother. But it looks like mom's still crashing.
Vita also woke up from the lap of the mother and then headed to her room,
The talk about a pretty drag income today ended with a mother's proposal. Make tonight filled with joy.
"Vita sleeps first Mom dad, tomorrow has to go to school." move away after kissing mom and dad's cheeks.
With a carefree hum, Vita headed to the place of the contest, a place to unwind hoping that his dream this time was beautiful...
