home the best place

That afternoon the sun channeled the scorching heat to the earth's surface. Seemed a teenage girl was busy playing with a biennial boy who ran around and around while occasionally throwing a ball in any direction that makes the girl have to be busy taking a ball that is not of course, that direction, yes, Echi is currently babysitting his sister. While the mother was busy making cake orders from customers who never absent every day. While the brother and sister who also began to grow up teenagers do not look as if just his shadow in the simple house. Maybe Fira and Cantika are busy in their world with their friends who sometimes make Echi feel concerned about his mother who has three daughters where they should be able to help the mother, but the reality is only Echi who always cares and is ready to help his mother.

"Sister, minyum. minyum sis.." Iky's whine looked tired playing.

"Wait a minute, brother, get me a drink Iky don't go anywhere first."

"Here, drink it slowly yeah, smart kid." Echi thrust a glass of drinking water and immediately sipped until the remaining half.

"Sister, bobok yok. Iky wants bobo." The boy rubbed his red eyes because of sleepiness.

"Do you want to swing her boob?" ask the older brother while pointing towards the swing in the room.

The little boy nodded his head with a smile sign of agreement towards his older brother.

Echi tidied up the swings commonly used to put Iky to sleep, put it in a swing and slowly swing while kicking sholawatan which he occasionally interspersed with children's songs until soon his little brother was asleep with his head in the swing.

"Howwaaammm..."

Echi yawned, he looked very tired and sleepy. He laid his body beside the swing while occasionally moving his hand until the swing was moving motion. Shortly after he could no longer hold his sleepiness, his eyes began to close he fell asleep with a swift beside the swing while his right hand was still holding the swing.

"Mom, Iky's taking a shower. Last time he woke up he asked to pee, fit already in the bathroom he even played water, so all I shower deh anyways this was almost four hours, already, it's not good if the little kid takes a bath in the afternoon, right." Echi said while helping the mother tidy up the equipment and the rest of the ingredients for the mother to make the cake.

"Oh, yeah. Good for that." said the mother while holding her head and then turned to her son. "Eh Echi, you lift the clothesline first." continued the mother when she saw her son was about to come out of the kitchen.

"Make it Fira's job anyway ma'am, should I work? Didn't Fira come home yet, Mom?" echi said in an annoyed tone.

"Our sister is there, why do I tell you anyway. Udah there lift the clothesline first, hunt down the mallem loh." replied the mother firmly.

"Yes, yeah.. But I don't want to slip his shirt. It's good that big brother all day he ran away to be free from housework." Echi is getting annoyed with his brother.

"Your brother is studying Echi's group, so you have to understand dong. If you really do not want to help mom yes already, it is up to you mother does not make it. I know maybe you're tired all day already help mom." mom said in a voice as slow as possible does not want her child to feel forced when she got a word from him.

"I'm sorry mommy made a case. Yes, it's me picking up the clothesline. But I took a shower, Mom. I'm lazy if the brother's hunt comes later instead of the usual kayak bathroom rendezvous." Echi stepped up as quickly as possible and immediately completed the task from his mother then rushed to take a bath.

This is how Echi is at home. He could not resist his mother's words and was trapped in the house every day. There was no time to play like a girl his age. But he kept living it cheerfully. For him the house is the most comfortable place for him to do his activities.
