My vacation

12. Staying Strong

I was stunned to see this man being mistaken in front of me, "Let's buy some chicken noodles" I whispered in his ear.

"I'm not hungry, you are!", "Come on, we've come a long way, besides the house is still in saaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!" I said as I spread my hand in front of him.

"OK on, come on!" unknowingly Rise holding my hand, "sorry me.." she did not continue her words.

"No pa-pa, come on!" I cried while holding my hand on his arm.

We reached the chicken noodle shop, and I saw a tear rising, "why? you're sick?", I just shook my head slowly, I held her hand, "come on!".

"i only remember my mother" she said slowly, "your house is in the same direction, we stopped by the house!". Our order came, and we started eating.

I took out a message to Uncle

Ratna \=> Uncle, Rise has a sister anyway?

My Uncle \=> Have 2 men equal women, why?

Ratna \=> We're at the stall again, eating chicken noodles, maybe I'll stop by her house first!

My Uncle \=> Don't be too long!!

Ratna \=> Okay uncle!!!!!!

I went inside to order a drink I forgot to order, and ordered three meatballs for my mother and sister to get up.

We've entered the village, "we went to your house first!" I said, "yes, this way" he said, extending his hand because the road we were about to cross was quite slippery.

I welcome his hand, "Fatherman? there's no other way, right?" I asked expectantly, Rise shook her head slowly with a smile.

I have never walked on a rice field, nor on a road made of earth, this is the first time.

Rise walking in front while carrying plastic meatballs, I tried hard to walk on the road like this, always slipped, haduuuh.

this road is very difficult to pass, why not make a house that is just a street, where my pants are full of mud.

I could see several houses, one of which occupied houses rising up, "which one of your houses?" I asked, he pointed to a simple house, there were two small children playing, in front of the house there were several mothers who were gathering.

"Mas get back up!!" said one of the children while running into the house.

"Excuse me ma'am!" katake to some of the mothers who were sitting, they were not answering, my feelings were first here, the response was very negative.

"Let's just say, they don't like you, they sneer because you came with me!" the word rose while putting tea on the table.

it's a picture of the boy, so he's really the kid!! i smile. "Thank you mbak, already bought'in meatballs!" said the two little children who suddenly hugged my feet and left just like that.

I watched them eat their meatballs, "Your mother is resting?" ask me to get up who just came out of the bathroom.

I was there long enough, "come home this afternoon!", I nodded slowly.

We passed a different path, but it was still made of earth, there were only big trees on the right and left, "There are no wild animals here right?" ask me when I feel fear, "nothing is!" he answered with a smile.

"o yes, there will be art next to my village, want to watch?" ask me, "Malem? I'm afraid to go home alone where it's dark again". "I'll be anther, same Goddess.

The Goddess must go with Adnan, better follow, anyways Risen also want to nganter.

"Okay, but Uncle's permission is with Auntie!" I said to give you an agreement, "yes I know".

I saw the paved road in front of me, and I stopped stepping my feet on the asphalt road, "Come! we've reached your house!". he said, laughing at me like a fool.

So this is the way through to the front of the house.

I walked slowly, when I entered I saw Fa'i was already there, "Rat later tonight watching art, will you?" tanyanya, this child to the point really, I just came in!.

"Sorry I, but I promised you I'd wake up to watch!" I said later, I saw his face flushed red and went straight away without excuse, as he passed the Rise he pushed it.

"Get in first, don't pay the rich man!". "You're the same Fa'i why Rat? dating is always a fuss!" aunty said it worked on me choking, though,

uhuuk, uhuuk, Bngkit saw me, I was forced to tell Auntie, "Actually I was with Fa'i had broken up a few days ago Bi, when I went home early in the morning he made balikin hp, hp, I saw him sleeping with his ex-girlfriend whose village is near that roadside mosque down!" I said explain,

"Where do you know that's her ex-boyfriend?". "Yes the one who said it himself!" I said with a frown so that aunt would end the conversation.

"Mom, later tonight I want to invite Ratna to watch art in the village next door, is it okay?" ask Rise politely, "If you want to watch anything, but be careful, you must bring Ratna home!" obviously Aunty.

I'm happy that Auntie let me go, though I'm a little worried, because at night, after all, it's just the two of you with Rise.

Srhave asked permission, got up home, and will pick me up after Isya'. Soon the Goddess came home.

"So how? are you numb to the smell of durian?" her question mocked me, "o no, I'm fine, let's watch the art in the village next door!" take me to the Goddess.

"Owh honey! I'm gonna go watch with Adnan! you can be a mosquito repellent!" he said with a glowing face.

"the shit!!" I picked up a towel and a change of clothes, when I got to the door I turned and whispered, "Don't it be better to go as Awake!!!", after saying that I ran out, I saw his surprised face as he passed through the door.

Haaaah Ratna, you are like a banana tree!! Faisal went, there was a Rise that accompanied, be strong for myself. Never lose to yourself. Fight the disease that will bring you down!!!.

That's the phrase I always remember to stay strong and firm, "I WON'T FALL EASILY!" I screamed so loudly that Uncle, Aunt and Goddess ran into the bathroom.

"Rat you why Rat?" ask the Goddess from behind the door, "Oh I'm fine, just want to shout!" answer hence.

"If there's anything to say Uncle's with Auntie!" it was my uncle who was always worried about me. "Yes Uncle!" my answer.
