Chapter 1 Tragedy

Recalling the events of three years ago, a tragedy that claimed the lives of my parents.

at that time my father and mother were about to cross the road after selling from the market, arrived a truck car had a brake blong,ill-fated my parents crashed instantly and could not be saved due to a very hard head impact on the asphalt.

At that time I was still sitting in the 3rd grade of High School and was in the final semester exam.during the exam, why my feelings were not good and anxious.

When I got home from school, I was surprised to see the situation in front of the house was already very crowded by neighbors and there was a yellow flag that was installed on the pole of the house.

Without asking, I who already had a bad feeling immediately ran into the house.inside were many neighbors who surrounded two corpses that had been stiffened.neighbors who saw me immediately approached and hugged me.

" The patient, son, be sincere, God willing, your father and mother are calm there" said Ms. Nyai, a neighbor beside the house.

When my body was gone, my tears were flowing, the world seemed dark.Trained I approached the bodies of my parents, I immediately hysterical while hugging those who were lifeless again.

The world seemed to collapse, no matter how my life after this.I can only lament the fate of me who lives a kara.

All the funeral preparations for my parents were done with the help of the residents and neighbors, after the funeral I returned home still unable to believe that my father and mother were gone.

The atmosphere of the house was quiet, I stood in the doorway looking around the house.Just yesterday it felt like we were chatting and joking.

Even I have promised my father and mother when I graduated High School I will immediately look for work to help the family economy and to make them happy.

But now that things have changed, they've been gone for good before seeing my filial piety as a child and seeing the success of his son.

"Son, don't you be sad anymore.don't feel alone, there's still us here.you can think of us as your parents, if there's anything you can't be afraid of." Is it, sir,? Said Miss Nyai who was standing behind me with her husband.

"yes son, consider us your parents.We will gladly consider our son beautiful." Said Pak nur while smiling.

I looked at him with a bitter smile.

"thank you very much, ma'am" that's all I can say

****

It has been a month after the departure of my parents, I also graduated from school.during this month Miss Nyai and Pak nur were the ones who helped my life.

I live alone in my parents' house,the house is very simple as a result of the hard work of my father and mother while selling in the market.Hum nyai family has offered that I stay with her in their home,but I still want to stay in my house to treat my longing for my father and mother, a house full of memories.

Every day Bu nyai deliver food and a little pocket money for my school supplies.from the first they were a very good family, often helping our family in times of distress.

The spacious yard behind his house is used to grow various vegetables, so for kitchen needs they do not need to buy.

After graduating from school I thought about immediately looking for a job, so as not to always bother the Bu nyai family continuously.

And I want to repay their kindness all along.

Without them, maybe I would not have been this fresh to live my life alone but with the conditions in this village that are so difficult to get a job, makes me worried.

Even if there is a job in his ordinary village just keep a grocery store whose salary is not more than 500 thousand per month.

The only way I could get a job and get a bigger salary than in the village, I would go to the city.

I want to be able to save for my future, let this house I leave to Miss Nyai,occasionally when I get a holiday I will go home to visit the house.I have no intention to sell this house until anytime, because this house is full of memories.

The next day after fulfilling my duty as a Muslim, I hurriedly prepared myself to go to the city.

I packed the stuff I was going to bring to town into a suitcase and backpack.Thankfully I had a little money saved up,and the pocket money that Ma'am has been giving me always I canister I never put in school.

Like for the cost of the fare to the city and the cost of boarding there is still a little left over for the cost I eat the next few days while I have not got a job.

" Assalamualaikum sir, Bu ?" I said when I went to the house that I considered my parents.

" Waalaikum salam" said the voice of the woman from inside the house.

no matter how long, appeared Bu nyai from behind the door with a look of astonishment when he saw me.

"good boy, come in son," you're so neat, son, where are you going?" ask mom nyai.

"Mom, it's beautiful here to be ready to go to the city to find a job.beautiful home, ma'am, ma'am, occasionally during the work holiday will be beautiful to come home to visit home and also visit mom and dad."

"beautiful also wanted to say thank you very much for the kindness of mother and father all this time,beautiful will never forget with all your kindness.please wish you a quick job in the city so you can repay the kindness of your father and mother all this time." I said while holding haru.

Then shortly after Nur entered from the back door and sat down to join us.

" Kid why you have to go all the way to the city, why can't you find work in the village here?" I'm just afraid you in town don't have anyone, what if what's up, son?"

" for problems you want to reply for what we have given, do not you think son.we are sincere and happy to be able to help you," he said gently while looking at Mr. Nur.
