Anita walked down the narrow street aisle, which was starting to get crowded. My village started cramped, trash where. The smell of like wild garbage that does not call into contact disrupts smell. The unpleasant aroma scattered.
Once the village of Anita was very beautiful, green with shady trees, the atmosphere was soothing and brought calmness.
"Anita here". Her mother called from the door.
"Yes Mom". Anita rushed to her mother.
"Mother has a cake, biscuits her name, was the mother to the market selling our crops, harvest our long beans this time a lot, so mother sold to the market".
Enjoying cucur cake accompanied by sweet coffee, a gentle breeze whizzed through Anita's long hair.
Cake cucur taste good sweet, the name is also funny cake cucur. Often to the market mother would have time to buy cucumber cake on his subscription. There's not much that I bought five Rina or ten thousand.
Mother was happy with the attitude of Anita, a friendly child, affection for the family, independent and always lighten the burden of homework.
After the mother came home from the field in the afternoon, the house was in a neat and orderly state. Rice and side dishes are also available on the table that has begun to wear out at meal time.
They don't have a dining table, but they always have food to eat. Do not forget the warm tea or sweet coffee favorite mother is available at the table.
Very happy feeling of mother healed after tired of working in the field. Mothers sometimes plant what can be planted, not necessarily rice, vegetables are also planted mothers.
If the harvest of vegetables is not much, just sold around the house, neighbors also buy a lot. "Fresh said he just got metic". Aminah's mother likes to buy long beans from her mother. Make simple stock in the refrigerator also durable. "If I do mischief Ma'am" said Ms. Salimah.
All buy, and the proceeds of the sale later to buy more seedlings. "Mom's tired here Anita's a pijitin". No longer waiting for my mother's back to face Anita.
"Yes, thank you in advance yah An". Said mother.
"Yes ma'am, you're welcome".
Anita is fourth grade in elementary school, her son is smart and has a crush on all the teachers. Many of her friends who like the nature and kindness that Anita has.
After returning home Anita changed clothes, ate potluck and then cleaned up the house, if not take a nap usually Anita went to the fields.
Just play the weeds or the ground while singing cheerfully among the mother vegetable plants. Birds greet Anita's arrival.
Anita tells the story of wanting to be a successful person, and happy.
"Mom," Anita arrived behind mom.
"Have gone to school".
"Yes Ma'am, because Anita is upset here, but the return first well, then who will cook if she comes home late in the afternoon". Anita.
"Yes, who's going to make a warm tea or coffee for mom when she comes home in the afternoon". Mom smiled.
Realizing the goodness of Anita and never lazy to help all the homework.
Mom feels sorry sometimes. "Still a child has done the work of parents, but Anita still looks happy". Mother was so proud of Anita, in between her eyes after spraying rice or her vegetable crops mother chatted with Bi Inah in the saung.
Bi Inah also the same fate is not much different from Anita and her mother. Just a farmer and a widow because her husband had chosen his second wife, maybe third or fourth, maybe even fifth.
The habits of their husbands are the same, light-handed, lazy, and willing to feel good on their own.
They want to be rich, but his job is only female, angry and spend the night with his lazy friends. Every night staying up late playing chess at the camp post.
Waking up in the afternoon, breakfast coffee continues to wander out of nowhere.
Not to mention the happiness of Anita's father made pain and pain in her mother. Anita was scratched by her father's actions.
Until one day he played with the heart and chose the heart of someone other than the heart of the mother.
Mother chose divorce and has good widow status, is not bad and ******.
Maintain good name and dignity as a good woman.
********
"Yes, Anita is a good child, lucky to have children as good as Anita, many children who are Anita's age do not care about the distress their mother has experienced". Say bi Inah in the afternoon towards home each other
Sometimes the mother's harvest is not on her side, her tiredness is not paid by the abundant harvest. Because pests or mothers can not afford fertilizer that costs exorbitant.
If such a situation. The food at the dinner table is only rice accompanied by salt and some chili seeds picked by the mother in the field.
When it is not about healthy, but fullness and the stomach does not run amok asking in the contents.
Often this situation befell Anita and mother. There is no rice to cook either. The dining table whose table began to decay was no longer brown but black with no contents. Only a red saji hood fills the table.
To school Anita does not bring pocket money. His stomach sometimes sounds when studying.
Rita always gives lunch cake or snacks to Anita. Anita accepted it with pleasure.
Because not all friends are as good as Rita. Even his classmates sometimes scorned and insulted Anita. Bolong shoes, rags, black and other insults.
"Don't be sad Nit, just let them say what". Rita persuades Anita and invites her to sit back to class. Waiting for the teacher in class.
"You're a good boy, smart". They can mock, reproach, but they can't help.
Laughing at the suffering of people, not yet feeling what others are feeling.
*******
Days change Sunday, Sundays change month, months change year. Anita is an adult. The sadness he felt had passed.
No more washing dishes, clothes, mopping and laborious to the fields to play thatch and soil, wet soil.
Anita has become a career woman tajir twisting, no need anymore difficult. His mother who had died of illness had calmed down in Heaven.
Pondok pesantren, nursing home, endowment and charity jariyah often done Anita on behalf of her mother.
Jariyah done by Anita in the name of her mother is equally flowing.
"Mother, Anita dear mother. If the mother is still there, we play to the Mall even to the cities that you want to visit". Anita imagines that mother is still beside her to accompany the success she has achieved.
"All mothers who teach, mother, nature, rice, mother's vegetable crops, birdsong, bi Inah are teachers. Teaching patience, perseverance, gratitude and accepting the difficult realities of life".
Anita is not happy with all the wealth she has. Even being a grounded person.
"It doesn't have to be proud" he said. Everything is just a pat. Only I am grateful after all the sadness I passed, now my happiness is achieved.
Life does not have to suffer continuously, the happiness of us who pray and try.
Heartache can be a cure for survival.
