The sound of chicken crowing was unpretentious, awakening the deep sleep of a girl hiding under a blanket. His eyes blinked slowly, then got up and raised both hands up to stretch the muscles.
He got out of bed, put on a home-made sandal and rushed to the bathroom to purify himself before facing the owner of his breath.
At 5, the girl approached her mother who was struggling in the kitchen.
"Mother, I'm sorry, Hania woke up late."
The mother turned to her, "were you up last night?"
The girl named Hania nodded. "Hania overtime makes a job application letter."
"Han, finding a job is now difficult, especially if you are just a Senior High School. Do you not want to accept Om Saman's offer to work as a domestic assistant at his house." Mirna's mother looked at her daughter for a bit, then continued cutting the vegetables.
"Hania is hard to get away from Mom and Dad. Hania wants to find a job close here, ma'am."
Mirna's mother looked back at Hania, but this time the mother's gaze looked sad. Maybe because of his age who was five heads, also because of the pain that the doctor sentenced, making the daughter only wayangnya it was hard to leave the family. But Mirna herself wants Hania to go in search of experience, not just dwell in the same labyrinth. He wanted his daughter to have a story from the outside world.
Hania was born to a mediocre family, the father worked as a security unit (Satpam) in an office, while Mirna's mother herself was a housewife who complained about the fate of selling on the side of the road.
Every day that Hania does only help her mother sell. Since graduating High School, Hania decided to bury her ideals, all because she could not continue college. Want how else, for his family to survive the hardship, let alone to finance college that requires a lot of costs. Hania did not want to burden the family. And, baby, he also does not have more intelligence, so he can not get student duties.
At 8 am, the 'Mendoan Bu Mirna' wagon is already off at the end of the highway. Aided by Hania, Mirna's mother begins to pit her sustenance at the place.
Hania arranged a plastic chair under the tent, while Bu Mirna cut the tempe to mix with wheat flour dough.
"Sir, how is Gea. Does he rarely come home?"
"Gea's busy doing college work, ma'am. He said after the exam, when he's off he's coming home."
"Sorry, yes, Nduk. Because the father of the same mother does not have money, you can not go to college, "sad Ms. Mirna.
"Mom, it's okay. Hania now just want to work, do'ain I let him be accepted in one of the companies, so he can help mom and dad." Not to be named, Hania applied for a job as an OB.
Sad, of course, but what can Hania voice. One day, he was envious of his best friend named Rumia Geana because the girl had the luck of being able to study in another city. Hania understood, Gea's fate was more fortunate because both parents were well-off. Gea is also a smart and fashionable girl.
The conversation with his mother stopped because one by one there were already queues to buy their merchandise. That is just how their daily routine is.
At 2 p.m., Hania and Bu Mirna were still there. They used to come home at 6 p.m. Suddenly came in throngs of a man in the range of 40 years.
"Han, where's your mother?"
"Mother's going to the mosque. What's up, Paklek?"
Hania knew the man, therefore her father's co-worker as a security guard.
"Pak Efendi somersault car. Now it's taken to the hospital."
"Astagfirullah hal'azdim, sir." The news just now made Hania very surprised. Soon she caught up with her mother at the mosque. There was also Miss Mirna was no less surprised, even her body to stagger.
"Mom, calm down, ma'am." Hania held both of her mother's shoulders.
"Is Mr Sule still there?"
Hania nodded.
"Mom went to the hospital first. You close the trade and follow Mom, yeah, Nduk."

The Hospital.
A man walked back and forth with an agitated look. "Fuck shit!" repeatedly he cursed. His long legs kicked the wind with his mouth constantly swearing. He was anxious and regretted his act of driving recklessly. Cause middle-aged men who are crossing the road must be hit just like that.
He could imagine if the victim was seriously injured, because his body was bounced and his head hit the asphalt hard. In fact, while on the way to the hospital, blood was unceasingly coming out.
He who daydreams is surprised by the ringing of a cell phone. "******!!!" rough talk. The man was really surprised.
"Yes, Pa?"
"She, honestly! What are you doing trouble for again!?" No sound of anger from his father. The man named Satrya Higaka let out a rough breath.
"Damn! How did you know I was in trouble again. Can be the length of the business," murmured Gaka.
"No, Pa, Gaka can handle this."
"You bumped into someone and you can handle it yourself? Just try it," challenge Mr. Haru.
Gaka grunting. It is true what his father said. Can he handle it himself? What about the victims' family business? What about police business?
"Agre!!!" Pekik.
"Papa's gonna fly in the afternoon. And you don't run from responsibility!" mr. Haru's message, then the phone call just ended.
Gaka again kicked the wind in frustration. "This must be papa's spy reporting."
From the hallway, the middle-aged mother was crying and was accompanied by a man behind her.
Gaka's heart was beating fast, could it be the victim's family? How he will behave.
"Sir Efendi was in this room, Miss Mirna."
"Sule sir, how did my husband get a car?" ask Miss Mirna to Sule. On the way they have not been able to talk about the chronology.
"Sir Efendi from the stall across the street and will cross the road, but from the east there is a car speeding up even though the red light has not changed. And ... the accident happened," Sule explained.
"Astagfirullah, sir." Mirna increasingly sobbing knowing the chronology of events. Shuffling slowly, imagining the fate of her husband.
Gaka was silent on the spot, there was a point of guilt and pity.
"Sorry, Mom, why are you here?" Sule realizes Gaka's whereabouts and questions him. He had not known that the one who hit his co-worker was that young man. He was busy taking care of Efendi, while Gaka was secured by another friend.
Gaka turned to see Mirna. "Mom, I will be responsible for the recovery of my mother's husband."
"What's!? So you hit my husband!?" Ms. Mirna stopped her crying, staring at the emotion of the young man standing 2 meters away from her.
With doubt Gaka nodded.
"You heard this saying by the Father, how to drive recklessly to endanger the lives of others."
"Sorry." That's what Gaka said.
