Tara breathed a sigh of relief when she finished her cooking she put some chicken into the white box with rice inside that can be sure to be given to ganta did not forget he also set aside some chicken for his father although his father was often rude to him he still tried to take care of his father even he did not touch the food it was usually like that every morning he only cooked for his father and ganta even though during the this ganta has never eaten his cooking and ends up just being left by the ganta under his stool.


Smiling broadly satisfied with his cooking rarely tara cook good food for his father usually he only cook vegetables and tofu tempe.


"Dadah!!! Come eat me a good cook!, "yelling a shrill tara calling her father.


Galdi finally came up with ogah ogahan with random clothes scramble and unkempt appearance.


"Cuman gini is said to be delicious," chuckle galdi stared at the results of tara cuisine able to make a smile tara faded, but thought his father would praise the food but nil his father remained the same, never rejoicing.


"Remember your mother's parents were still around and before she was ****** dad always takes you to expensive restaurants buy you what you want not worth a piece of chicken like this you should return the favor more than this ck you just hurt me back then, if you knew this, I wouldn't have spoiled you back then,"


Tara silently heard the words of the father just silent no expression whatsoever should she not have any more expectations on the father.


Tara took her backpack trying to be a bodoamate "I'm saying goodbye to school,"after saying that tara stepped her foot out of the house.


Unexpectedly galdi sat on the chair taking the rice and the cooked chicken smiled slightly after feeling the food of the child.


"It feels the same, you are the same your mother is very nice but the nature of***** your mother makes me hate you so much, even I am so sick of seeing the child of an ****** lyrih galdi chuckles sliced he takes more rice very rarely he eats as good as this he will add a lot of rice now, he said,so that hunger during the day can be reduced unlike usual when hungry must wait until 2 pm when the child comes home from school and cook food.

Tara stopped at the bus stop she left school by bus although she had to walk a little from her house to the stop but it did not feel comparable to going home from school if she did not get a ride from the ganta she had to walk foot and not ride the bus has its motto as it just departs using the bus so as not to be late and home he walked while enjoying the wind of Jakarta.

After arriving at school and put his bag on his desk he sat pretty and drank the water in the tumbler he always carried, he always carried,if he usually has run to buy bread now he just sits on the table to withstand the pain of his stomach that asked to be filled the decision is already unanimous will not eat breakfast for 3 days to recover the monthly money so that enough because it has bought a chicken that is quite expensive.


Although usually tara breakfast bread in fact a small bread pack is not enough for him, which is done just to hold hunger until the hour to go home to school and eat at home.


He hoped he would be able to endure hunger without bread this time.


Tara dyed on her desk and smiled broadly at Ganta entering the "gantaaaa!!! Siniiii,"ganta only sighed in disgust at the behavior of tara whether he was not tired of always shouting making his ears buzz just because he heard the sound of tara.


Ganta sat in his lap beside the tara who had been rewarded with a sweet smile from the tara.


"You two pay cash!,"the secretary's allele approached the ganta and tara made them jerk because a little surprised to hear the sound of the aren't relaxed, not yet tara said but the arel back said, saying,


"Gw know you're both poor but the cash is always going over and over again and I hope you pay now!,"arel said in a cynical tone able to make tara a little hurt what's wrong if she is poor?, he said?,do not want to argue tara put money out of her bag to breathe it feels like she did not have breakfast for 5 days this time.


Tara glanced at Ganta for a moment "you have money ga?, kalo gaada pakek money I just,"


"I'm not that poor," said Ganta took the money out of his pants pocket and gave it to arel, stammered is ganta hurt by his words? no he didn't mean it that way on ganta he just wanted to help.


"Ck lama!,"Arel withdrew the tara money that was still held because tara was still dumbfounded to hear the words ganta "eh sory,"the grimacing was softly ashamed of the arel.


Did you ask if tara had any friends at school? The answer is not underlined not at all other than the appearance of mediocre economic difficulties also make him shunned, he was shunned, not taken dizzy tara just sticky on ganta stupid time have no friends important there is ganta who fills his days even though ganta feels uncomfortable he knows from the expression of ganta who is uncomfortable every time tara approaching but the determination of tara is round to melt ganta.

"Ganta ganta's going to the barn, huh?I follow ya ganta, "not getting a reply from ganta make tara smile happy means ganta let.


They sat down on the mat again tara opened his totebag and gave it to ganta "ganta as promised I bring you chicken now you want ya take my food,"tara pleaded with a sparkle staring at the glassy ganta.


"Gaperlu," said ganta makes tara speechless hearing ganta's answer always like that do not want to give up tara back to weld.


"Ganta this time plis take my gift, please,"


"I said I didn't need tara,"said ganta jengah able to make tara silent no he can not make ganta angry he only has ganta at this school with mixed feelings tara re-insert the white box in his bag.


Realizing the disappointed expression of the ganta tara took the totebag back


"Judah I took it but you're out of here,"


Tara gasped with a big smile she got up from her seat she did not waste the opportunity "ganta makasi don't forget to eat ya," said tara enthusiastically then ran girly out of class.


Ganta let out a breath of pity he put the origin of the totebag sitting memyender on a long sofa that has been shabby and then switch with the ukelele play the ukelele with beautiful strains.

The school bell rang 10 minutes ago and now tara just finished sweeping the class she got the task today even though not only herself but it was certain that only she was assigned herself to clean the same class like ganta his fate is very much the same as ganta difference if ganta is usually helped by him but himself only does not what tara trying to understand for this.


Tara walked slowly there were only a few students still there and the teacher, he said,tara stopped her steps spontaneously in the back of the warehouse to see the room that was still open making tara sigh maybe ganta forgot to close it tara walk to the warehouse was about to close the door did not forget he looked into who knew there was people but their eyes shifted to the yellow ukelele belonging to the ganta "careless," muttered tara seems to ganta forget the ukelele.


Tara went into the warehouse to take the ganta ukelele but her army stopped to see the white rectangular city tara occupied herself being stabbed a little strange feeling appeared on her to take the box and open it carefully


Unanimous


The contents remained intact untouched at all this silent tara was painful, staring at her food she was willing to hold the hunger even she almost fainted holding the hunger but this was the reply?,disappointment is commonplace even the food has begun to stale and the smell is just left behind.


No matter the food that began to stale, feed the food on his mouth chew slowly want it to feel he was crying now but he was afraid of crying no point he was afraid of the habit of always crying in every way trouble experienced, tara swallow food is hard to be wasted if thrown away, at least she can eat well again even in a half stale state, tara giggles funny very funny life is ,mouth after mouthful he swallowed with great difficulty himself wanting to cry but he had promised himself not to return to being a weak tara and easy to cry like before if he was just yelled at she had shed tears because tara was very sensitive to the clashing and rough things like that but the change in the family fate of tara made her promise to herself to be a tough person.


"Well, why is it eaten?" the heavy voice made tara who was eating her food and who was troubled with his mind jerked, hearing a voice that he knows so well tara looked up at the ganta who was staring at him without expression should come here take his ukelelelnya who missed but even found the girl who always bothers him here.


Ignoring the words of Ganta tara resumed his eating, he said,ganta sighed that usually tara always sparkled looking at him now the eyes were just staring at him sad he knew he was wrong because he did not eat food giving tara but he still did not expect tara very expensive food until he was willing to eat stale food.


"Why is it eaten?" asked Ganta again.


"Mubazir," replied the original tara.


"Don't eat it,"ganta snatched the box from tara's grasp.


Tara stood trying to seize the city but the agility of the hand ganta who threw the box origin able to make tara sculpting a moment.


Tara stood staring at the food is smooth that is not shaped staring at the pointless cooking is possible for this person only a small thing but for tara can eat more decent food is an impossibility.


"You shall not eat the gamau received earlier, do not be thrown away also ganta,"tara crouched clean the food that fell scattered.


"Sorry,"


"Father,"after saying that tara put the box back into his totebag and sauntered away no he did not try to avoid the ganta he just wanted to calm himself he did not want to cry disappointed in front of the ganta he did not want the weak side is seen by Ganta.
