" Ra, help mak ya harvest cayenne pepper today in the field, tomorrow can you bring it to the market, good enough to buy onions and salted fish tomorrow, tomorrow, you have no holy work today?"
" Yes mak, today is not holy last night already, but I take care of mak afternoon, so can not take the afternoon" Ara who was washing dishes in the bathroom agreed with her mother's request.
I am Clara Isabela, nineteen years old at this time, and just finished my junior high school education in the sub-district city I was born in, I used to be called Ara as well as the Father is no exception with my brothers.
Kmi is a big family I am the third of five children, my eldest sister is a girl named Riska and just finished her studies at one of the universities in the capital city, and my brother Lihar the second child has worked even though it is just odd and lives outside the area, and my brother Luhut boys number four and fifth sibontot Gomos are also boys they both still school in Junior High 1st and Elementary 2nd grade, my age is indeed far adrift with Luhut,and the same goes to Gomos.
Our family life is fairly mediocre, and often mak say if we live below the poverty line so must know ourselves.
The work of the mother and father are farmers by relying on a piece of land that is not wide, and many plants overlap there, and there are many plants, and the results of the plant can meet our needs and amazingly mak and gap can send us to school and even finish college ka Riska with a plot of field capital, great right? I have always been proud of my parents, lucky I was born into a loving family despite mediocre life, but not one bit I complained.
Actually I want to continue also college, but see the mother and father who have been skip-kip-kip kaka lecture kaka it does not have the heart to also see them, too, making me decide for a while to find a job alone can at least ease the burden of mak, kasian mak and father who slammed the bones.
It's been two months after I UAN (National Final Examination) started as a washerman at my uncle's house and three of my neighbors' houses I still know close by, in a month I can get three hundred to four hundred thousand, very cheap indeed with a month's wages given eighty thousand sometimes there are a hundred thousand love, sometimes, but no papa can help me buy rice or just my pocket money.
My uncle has a telecommunications service company Warung Telephone (Wartel) which is open from seven in the morning until eleven in the evening, they employ two people by turns, and, since his workers stopped I replaced him and was paid two hundred thousand a month.
Every day I am busy with my work, I enjoy it a lot. If my schedule is kept at the evening wartel I will start washing from the morning, and especially Sunday I wash off.
Actually mak kasian with me, mak want me to be able to go to college, but I reasoned next year just so that mak can mourn first so that mak does not force me to continue, mak, while I know some time ago mak has mortgaged our simple house to the Bank to pay off the needs of my sister before graduation, I do not want to be selfish, SMK I just finished I am very grateful at this time.
There are those who look at me with a low view, those whose lives are better, but there is no shame in my heart even though my current job is a washerman in a rich man's house, the important thing is that I always instill an honest attitude and work halal, at least do not ask for snacks again.
My uncle is very good, sometimes I am also told to take care of his son just enough lunch or night I am free, at this time I use my energy to sell them laundry money, wash their clothes money, and, not to burden those I love.
In this organization I'm just a member, and the chairman is Rocky a young man I know well, and still go to college in the City, of the intensity of togetherness that often makes him express his feelings for me, he said, and I gladly accepted his love, there shot I want, the base of me who admires and is fascinated by a Rocky.
Our only meeting was every night that week because of the Organization Society we joined, Rocky was in town and was coming home once a week,after the gathering, I will always take me home proof that she is responsible for my safety until I get home.
Rocky is a man of dreams many girls are no exception with me, besides his handsome face, he is also an authoritative and smart man, I actually wonder why he could fall in love with me, I was also a man of authority, if compared to him and myself is very contrasting, he is the son of a PNS who works in the Regent's office and his mother a PNS teacher is also in one of the elementary schools in my place.
I'm five years old with Rocky, to me he's mature enough to have chosen me to be his girlfriend, and no one knows if we're dating, I'm asking that this be a secret between us, there's not even an agreement to always say anything because I'm still afraid my parents know about it, and Rocky agreed to it because I'm still too shy and don't deserve to date him.
Of the many stories I heard, Rocky was a Play boy, he said he had many girlfriends, even in his college where many girls close to him, I heard only silence, all I believe in is the word that comes out of his mouth, the Rocky I love, the day in my brain.
Rocky was my first love, a man I admired for a long time, so without a second thought I accepted his love, sometimes just seeing him was enough to heal my longing heart. For me he's a very good young man, not sure if he's a play boy.
My diary is where I tell stories when I miss him, I always hug after I express my longing for him through my writing.
" Mom tomorrow I pay, can I not buy the HP I said yesterday?"
I'm looking for the HP sold in the only HP Counter in my village, and I've asked for my washing wage to be paid on the date I set.
" Mak can not help ya, if your money is enough to buy it, mak is not prohibited" said the smiling mak.
The HP I was looking for was HP second Noki* type 3330 which is very cool among us young people.
The time I want to enjoy my sweat is, last month I still have a little leftover paycheck, so it feels enough to buy it.
