My hands began to sweat. deg deg deg deg. it felt my legs limp and I was afraid, did not feel the water droplets began to pool in the eye peluk.

I felt my father's warm hand touch my shoulder and then he looked smiling and nodded his head, saying basmallah, "Bismillah Irwan, the son of Islam must be strong and courageous" his smile automatically shed all my tears, his mother hugged me from the side while whispering "later Irwan got a gift like Asep, tuh" (while pointing Asep who has brought a bag and shoe box)

I also remember when I first entered school, all the children were wearing new uniforms, bags, and shoes. Only a few children seemed to be wearing old uniforms, their former brothers, like me. The uniform I wear is a gift from my cousin who lives in the city, as well as bags and shoes, because you still do not have your own rice field, and we were just enough to be able to eat everyday with fried tempeh side dishes.

(Alhamdulillah later Irwan has a new bag and shoes, hopefully later circumcision will not hurt.. aamiin) my prayers in my heart and establish myself to be brave in circumcision.

I walked with my father and mother, we joined hands, sometimes my father squeezed my right hand while saying "Bismillah ya"

I nodded my head and followed her "yes, bismillah"

I entered the room, I saw that there were children my age who also entered the room with their father, while the mothers just drove up to the door. When I got to the door, I greeted my mother, kissed the back of her hand while shedding tears, then she hugged me and sat down crouching to match my height.

"Irwan's mother's son is the most powerful and courageous in circumcision, right?" my mother said, looking deep into my eyes, hoping that I would have true courage.

I rubbed my tears and nodded my head, telling my mother that I must be brave. We hugged back for a moment.

He hugged me while holding my hands on my chest, then whispered "Bismilahirahmanirahiim" I also followed his words.

"Good child, handsome child, cute child will have to be brave yes, do not be afraid, later there will be a little pain like bitten by ants but held back yes, must be strong huh?" said the nurse, and there was pain as she said, as I began to ask in my heart (whatever it was really like being bitten by a rang-rang ant) I also furrowed my eyebrows. But the beautiful nurse said again, she asked me what my name was, what age it was, what school it wasn't, which school. I did not realize I was telling and answering all the questions of the beautiful nurse, after answering all the heavy voices of a man who was not the voice of my father,

"Alhamdulillah is done sir, mas Irwan great child yes, the circumcision is finished. This will be taken 3 times a day after meals" said a man wearing a light green doctor shirt with the same colored hair cover, which is similar to a picture of a doctor...

(Lo? why doctor? how already?) I furrowed my eyebrows again, and without being asked they smiled, and the beautiful nurse explained that the circumcision was over and it worked, he said I was a great kid because I wasn't afraid and didn't cry during circumcision.

So unreliable, I then tried to get up and assisted father, I got up and got out of bed earlier. There was a numbness in my lower area. I looked down but because it was covered with a sheath so that it could not be seen how it was, spontaneously I asked my father, "Sir, is my stern gone? How will you pee?" ask me plain while looking down again.

My father, the nurse and the doctor laughed at my question. Then the doctor explained with a picture, which is sure the bird is still safe and will be more beautiful because it has been cut neatly. I smiled and nodded my head, said goodbye and thanked the doctor and the beautiful nurse who then gave me a bag and shoebox with shoes that were the size of my feet.

"Thank God, thank you doctor and nurse" we said before leaving the room.

That's the story, the memories I never forget. Right on my 7th birthday, I was circumcised and got a lot of presents, some even gave me a new school uniform. I promise after this my prayer is my responsibility. My sins and my rewards I have to carry on my own, as you have taught me.
