Lydia
Hilts
Actually Melli had asked her mother to buy all the school supplies Lydia, because they already understand each other, tell each other about their families, each other, although Melli had more than anything, Lydia never seemed to have envy or shame for her family who lived a very simple life.
Aunt Siska deliberately did not buy her directly for fear of offending them.
"Mother, do you mind if you're a school sister in town, but who's going to help you?." Lydia expressed her nervousness when she left mother.
"Honey, mom is very happy brother can school in the best place, mom is very grateful to mama Melli for helping you son, sorry mom and dad can not give the best, ' he said , mother hope you really learn diligently, so that what is given by Mama Melli becomes useful." Feeling very disappointed, sad not being able to give the best to his daughter.
Melli and her mama were moved and even shed tears, this moment makes them feel very grateful for the sustenance that God gives but do not forget to give alms so that the sustenance becomes more meaningful before God.
When Lidia and Mama had already let go of each other's embrace, she saw Melli sobbing - sobs .
"Woii Mell, why are you crying hahahha base baper." Lydia threw a steamed cake in front of her, and Melli swiftly caught it.
"Basic combro, food is thrown - throw , sin knows." Repetitates but the steamed cake disappears in his mouth.
"Nahh.. rather than crying ga obviously eat tuh mother's cake, enjoy..? haha .." Not wanting to dissolve in sadness Lydia began to let out her comical side of herself.
"It's clear how, obviously - clearly moved you hug your mother, a..later how Melli far from mama papa, remember you must always be near me if it turns off the lights in our rented."
Melli so imagined himself if later was far from his parents, usual when the lights off he always screamed in fear, then who would help him and embrace him.
" Jiahaha haha.. timid apparently our princess is." Mash his best friend while blinking - blink both eyes.
"Dear, don't fad that, remember later if it's been there be a good friend, help Melli like a sister help father and mother." Order that her daughter remains a good boy.
"Yes Lydia, aunt trust Melli to you, help Melli become an independent child and a diligent child, Lydia knows how lazy and spoiled she is." Glanced at his beloved youngest son who was very spoiled.
"Every aunt, later Lydia will always be a good friend, and pinch the lazy spoiled child hahha.." Lidia was satisfied to tease her best friend who was indeed the child of the mother even since the first friend Lydia who always succumbed to him. For that Melli is very comfortable being friendly with her, even her Big Brother alone often clash his mouth facing the spoiled attitude of her one-of-a-kind sister.
That afternoon Melli and her mama came home, next week they will come again to leave for the city together. When I was about to get out of Lidia's house, my father just came home from helping my mother send steamed cakes to stalls .
"Well, there's a guest apparently." Be friendly and smile .
"It's Melli and mama well, sister's schoolmate who's been telling me that a lot." Mother introduced her guests to her husband. Melli and her mama shook hands and introduced themselves, but they only talked for a while and then went home.
"Sister, I'm sorry that you and your mother can't give you what you want." Bending his face, feeling failed to give happiness to his daughter.
"Father, mother, all that you received from your sister was born, until now it was happiness, and this is more than anything else, the attention of your father and mother that you wanted."
Kissing father and mother's cheeks.
"Have not been crying, a drama so much so dad, like if he was a father's artist selling hard deh, playing cool, his tears are rushing wak.hah hahah.." Pinched both of his father's cheeks fatigued.
"Obviously, it's a handsome father, mother alone until crazy - crazy on father he he he he." Don't want to lose to his daughter father instead attack mother.
"But father love right, umm. beware yes later mother not masakin new know ya..!." The sulking plopped her pretty face and threatened my father.
"Ciee. mentang - mentang is already good at cooking mother forgot nie.. same her own cook, haha haha.." Lydia laughed cheerfully when she managed to break the acaman mother to father, yes mother can cook because the father who is always active in helping her study in the kitchen.
They are indeed a family that lacks material things but they never lack happiness. Father and mother always devote their attention and affection, getting used to joking with each other makes them seem to forget the sadness when lack of material.
"Silver will lift the clothesline first yes, father and mother do not claw - scratch yes, arghh. hahaa." Leaving her parents while mimicking the clawed cat style with both her hands.
"Haha..." Father and mother compact made laugh at the silliness of his daughter.
As usual they took a nap because in the afternoon they returned to the garden to collect the sap that had been in the toreh this morning, until before the magrib they just returned home. That's how every day they do, if the weather rains all day then they can not work because it will not produce a lot of sap. If that happens, it will also reduce the wages that will be generated every week.
They also do not know bonus money like office workers, which they make that is what he will receive, nor is there THR money like office people get.

"Hoam... This trip made Melli sleepy ma, kasian ya ma Lydia go to school only in between riding a motorbike, even though it was far away from her home."
Melli felt sorry for her friend when she knew how far the journey had to be taken to her school, while she who was only 15 minutes from home was still among her papa or older brother.
"Yes, not to mention if it's raining or hot, mama's very proud of her." Mama is increasingly convinced that Lydia is the child who can be the friend who guides Melli.
"So mama's not proud of Melli." Change her sitting position facing out the window of the car.
