Since I Meet You's
Loadings
The road to my house is only a narrow alley that can fit 1 car, but on this road it is also quite crowded with passing motorcycles. When I turned towards the alley, it suddenly broke!
A man accidentally grazed me from the front using his motorcycle. My groceries were scattered on the road while I fell down on the asphalt. All over my body ached and more painfully, I saw the rice and flour I bought were already splattered. At once I cried, because the money I used to buy these things had already cost me more than half of my merchandise.
I forgot the pain all over my body and immediately got up to pick up the scattered rice. With a weeping screeching I picked up the seeds after the rice seeds I could take. The one who grazed me seemed confused by my behavior who preferred to save the already dirty rice rather than save myself.
The man tried to help me stand up, but I refused because I did not want the rice I bought wasted. The man who grazed me also persuaded me and said he would replace the money for the items that had been scattered. I'm still crying because I can't cook for my dad and sister's lunch.
Suddenly my father passed by and saw me crying by the roadside with a dirty and dusty appearance. Dad came up to me, then started to help me stand up. Dad looked worried and asked me why I was crying like this.
"why are you, ndu**k? how to cry like this!?", asked the father while wiping my tears.
I still couldn't answer father's questions, and then hugged him with increasingly weeping.
"please apologize, sir. I accidentally grazed my father's daughter", the man seemed to feel guilty for making me cry
"I was in a hurry because my employer called and told me to get there immediately" the man explained.
"oh yes sir, it's okay. Next time be careful, sir!?", my father reminded the person politely.
"So I tried to help the father's daughter, but the father's daughter kept crying while picking up the scattered rice" the man pointed to the rice that had been scattered freely.
"And this as my apology for making the father's daughter so this" he said by issuing 3 pieces of money 100 thousand then thrust it into the hands of father.
"Ah, no need, sir. Let me buy some more of those materials, you just keep the money", father humbly pushed the money back.
"I beg you, accept it! all of you check your daughter's wounds to the health center or hospital", the man forced.
"Alright, I will accept if you force me. Once again thank you and sorry for the hassle", father smiled awkwardly while receiving the money.
"I'm the one who should be apologizing for making your daughter hurt" the man still felt guilty. "Once again sorry, then excuse me for having to go to my employer's house" continued the man.
"yes, be careful sir!", recalls father.
Dad started looking at me who was still crying. I see you sad to see how I am. I felt more guilty and hugged my father for not being able to look at my grieving father.
"It's okay, nduk. Now we go home, huh!? I want to clean your wounds", with his hands beginning to wrinkle I stroked my hair.
"But, yeah. How was my shopping?", I looked up asking for an explanation.
"It's okay, nduk. Let me do some more shopping", Dad persuaded me.
"But, yeah. That's the ingredients for our lunch", I'm staying put with the dirty groceries.
"Don't think, nduk. Later father bought a new one", I nodded in agreement to go home.

When I got home, I cleaned up and changed my clothes. All over my body was painful and I saw there were blisters on my knees and elbows.The ankles began to swell due to sprains. While on the side of the road was not felt because I felt depressed, but when I got home all so sick. Even now I have trouble walking because of my sore ankle.
"aww.. hurts, yeah!", I cried
"it looks like your legs are sprained, nduk. I'll call a masseuse, and tomorrow you won't have to go to school" he said.
I was shocked to hear Dad's words.
"When you want to go to school, Dad!", I protested.
"Your leg is sprained, nduk. You'll have trouble pedaling your bike and walking at school" persuaded Dad.
I think back to Dad's words. But if I didn't go to school, I wouldn't have any income. I'm dilemma. Now my body feels crumpled because it had rolled on the asphalt, not to mention my feet are swollen like this can not use shoes and difficult to move.
"alright, yeah. Tomorrow Tika will be permission", with a heavy heart I also comply with the request of father.
He smiled at her, as if one load had disappeared. I feel even more useless right now because it adds to the burden of my father's mind. At that time my sister had just come to play and saw me sitting in the living room chair with my father.
"Sister why?", my sister looked at my swollen feet. My brother is very considerate of me and my father, so he will soon notice changes or things that happen to me.
"sister it's okay deck, just fell over" my elak. Though my feet really hurt and need immediate action before getting worse.
"If it's okay, why is it that big sister's leg?", it's hard to have a sister who's too smart. I was even confused to answer his question.
"Silver just sprained, later let Grandma Sami who massage the legs of my brother to heal quickly", my father submitted to answer my sister's questions.
"All right, then. Brother, I'm hungry. What are we eating today?", my sister asked.
I just glanced at Dad with a sad expression.
"Ar, come with me, yuk!? we buy good food for our lunch", father invites Ardi my sister to divert my grief.
"Yeay. eat well", cried my sister while prancing with excitement.
Our family rarely ate well. The most delicious food that you buy is pecel lele and lalapan, while for a normal day we only eat rice, tofu and tempeh. I was sad because I couldn't do anything. With my situation like this, it will increase the burden of my father who has to do the homework I usually do.
"Come, yeah! Ardi was already impatient to eat good food because he was hungry", my sister was in a hurry to pull my father's hand to leave immediately.
"yes, I'm patient, nduk. We're definitely going to keep eating" Dad held Ardi's hand so he wouldn't run.
I smile wryly at this moment. I did dream of one day being able to eat well with my father and Ardi, but not in this situation. In this situation, it's the same as I add to the burden of the costs that you have to spend. I wanted to cry, but my tears were over. As father and Ardi were preparing to come out, suddenly from the outside someone knocked on the door.
Tok, tock, tock
"Excuse me!", followed by a familiar voice.
