The Life of Neng Fatimah

Today Neng Fatimah, who is familiar in greeting with Fatimah just came home after this morning after the dawn prayer, she went to the market to become a pelvic porters. Well, for two years he worked as a pelvic porters in the market from five in the morning to six in the morning. Every day, his income is uncertain. Sometimes five thousand, seven thousand, ten thousand, fifteen thousand, twenty thousand. And if there is a good man, it can be fifty thousand.

Before going home, he would buy rice, vegetables and kitchen spices. From the market to the house only thirty minutes by foot, but because all the way, Fatimah ran, so twenty minutes, she had reached home.

Once at home, he would put his groceries into the kitchen and put his money in his room, he hid his money so as not to be caught by his stepfather. A stepfather who married his mother five years ago. At first Fatimah thought her stepfather was a good man, who would protect her and her mother. But who would have thought, if his stepfather would only be a shame in their lives. But the rice has become porridge, his stepfather has already entered into the life of Fatimah and her mother so that they can only surrender when getting torture from his stepfather.

And two years ago when Fatimah was just graduating high school, just when she was eighteen, her mother fell in the bathroom causing a stroke. His mother was paralyzed even to talk, she found it difficult. And from that moment on, Fatimah felt like the sky was collapsing. He who had wanted to wander so did not have the heart to leave his mother alone in the house, especially living with his stepfather who was so evil.

Fatimah has asked for help to her extended family and to neighbors and RT, RW. But they did not believe him because they thought that his stepfather was a good man and often came to the mosque and went to work from morning until night.

And without them knowing, if in the house, his stepfather often tortured Fatimah and her mother. The house of Fatimah was a little far from the neighbor, so what happened in the house, no one knew.

Fatimah's stepfather worked, but his money was spent on gambling, even for food and others, not infrequently his stepfather asked Fatimah for money. Fatimah worked for her mother's treatment.  He wanted his mother to recover and be able to return as she was. Unfortunately, his father always stole Fatimah's money in his room when Fatimah went to the market. Or when Fatimah went to make a traveling cake sale.

Once Fatimah wanted to take her mother away from there, but her mother did not want to leave the house, because the house was the home of her late husband, who was Fatimah's real father.

Fatimah's father died when Fatimah graduated from Elementary School. After that, Fatimah lived alone with her mother. During both of these lives, Fatimah's mother worked as a laundry worker. His opinion is not enough just to eat, while for Fatimah school, not infrequently his mother owes here and there, until finally close the hole, dig a hole. HIngga three years later, when Fatimah graduated Junior High School, his stepfather came to propose to his mother Fatimah by promising many things. Fatimah's mother, who was tired of living in poverty and tired of being washed, not to mention the many debts here and there, finally chose to accept her stepfather as her husband.

Since then, their economy has changed. Fatimah and her mother lived happily, her mother no longer needed to work as a laundry worker. But it was only a few months, because after that, his stepfather began to show his true character, he no longer gave his salary and began to yell at Mother.

Over time, his stepfather began to torture his mother, and Fatimah who could not bear to see his mother was often tortured, began to rebel and retaliate for the treatment of his stepfather, but because she was defeated, because she was defeated, finally, Fatimah was tortured by him.

And from that moment on Fatimah was like living in hell. His mother finally worked hard again to become a washing worker, selling fried food, traveling cakes in order to send Fatimah to school. His mother hoped that Fatimah could become a successful person after graduating high school. But unfortunately, at Fatimah's graduation. His mother fell in the bathroom and took a stroke.

Two years later, his mother was in bed. And occasionally, Fatimah would take her mother outside the house if there was time and not tired.

During those two years, there was a lot of pain that Fatimah had. And it was caused by his stepfather. Want to run away, but his mother does not want to with the reason she did not want to leave the house of her late husband first. But even survive was actually Fatimah was no longer able to. Want to run away alone, but Fatimah does not have the same mother. Finally Fatimah decided to stay there, for the sake of the mother.

After returning home from the market and putting her shopping in the kitchen, Fatimah would definitely go to her mother's room. Bathe him, clean his shit and change his clothes with a clean one. After that, Fatimah will wash her clothes, her stepfather's and her mother's.

When it was finished and his mother was sitting sweetly in a chair, then Fatimah would cook.

While cooking, Fatimah would sweep, and do other work.

After cooking, his stepfather would usually wake up and eat everything on the table. For that, Fatimah sometimes leaves a little, she hides it so that it can be eaten by him and the mother.

After her stepfather left for work, Fatimah would feed her mother. Finished feeding his mother, Fatimah will eat so that I can live his days, and continued Fatimah will wash the dishes, and, clean the kitchen and make fried foods and cakes for him to sell around the village as his mother did when he was still healthy.

Fatimah sells from nine to twelve in the afternoon. After that, Fatimah will go home and cook again for herself and the mother. Then change the diaper of the mother. Continue to shower, pray and rest. After completion, Fatimah continued to sell fried food and cakes again until four in the afternoon. After that, he will clean the house until five o'clock.

At five o'clock, Fatimah will bathe her mother again and change her diaper and clothes. Then he will bathe, pray Maghrib teachi until Isya prayer'. Further, Fatimah would cook dinner for her mother and make her stepfather too, because if she came home, there was no food. Surely Fatimah will get punched and kicked again.

These are the days of Fatimah. Full-fledged struggle.

Sometimes Fatimah wished, if his father was still alive, surely he and his mother lived happily. Because his father was hardworking and spoiled both himself and his mother.

Unfortunately, good people sometimes live short.

Sometimes Fatimah also said, if his mother did not marry his stepfather, maybe his life would not suffer like this. He won't get torture from his stepfather and maybe his mother is fine.

But all that is only if, because in reality, everything has happened and this is the lifeline that he must live. Life is full of tests. But he hopes that God will be kind, giving a little happiness for him and for the Mother.
