When I took my footsteps with my friends when I came home from school, I could see at the top of the hill there were some iron installed by so many people.
Apparently it turns out the people of the city are great as well they are so very brave to climb the iron that is high enough.
"Well, what is that?" point out Samal who is so very impressed.
"That's called a tower, there's a transmitter there so there can be-"
"Signals and networks," Jono cut made us laugh.
"Well, I can't wait to see that tower get so tall."
"That's not great enough, you don't know that in the village we'll also get free electricity."
"Is she really?" I ask who is so in disbelief.
"It turns out that the people of the city are very influential both for our village."
"Not really," I answered making my friends take me so seriously.
"Why not good? Not good, yes if there is electricity in our village? If there is electricity then our village will be bright," explained Samal who moves his hands describing the bright figure of the sun chapter.
"You have no pity to see the trees that have been cut down and made asphalt?"
"Bridges are also built and before bridges are built then the trees on each side will definitely be cut down to put the end of the bridge."
"You see that part of the hill there!" my point made Jono, Samal, Leha and Mansur look up.
"They built a tower there. Do you never think that before the construction of the tower then the trees will be cut down."
"You know, right in the textbook owned by Fatimah if for example the trees are cut down then what will happen?"
I was silent looking at my friends one by one until Jono finally said, "Land landslide."
"Failure, it will happen if we let the debts get cut down."
"But aren't they just cutting down a little bit?" samal made Jono nod his head.
"That's for us."

We continued our journey until we finally arrived in front of my house I looked confused at the car in front of the house.
"Who else is going into town?"
We all stared very carefully at the car. Is anyone else going to town?
"Your father and Mama are you going to town?" samal asked making me quickly shake my head.
"No," I answered until we got close to the car and even so curious that Jono peeked in the window that was dark enough to show Jono's face without showing the person in the car.
The car door opened showing a man in a suit who stepped down from the car and not long followed by a little girl who was almost like us.
He stepped down from the car making us all step back to look at the girl from the tip of his foot to the end of his hair.
"Well, the white," praised Jono as he watched the girl step down.
Brilliant-haired girl, white and clean, highly branded clothes with outstanding appearance are much different from our best friend. Suddenly we turned to look at Leha who could only be silent with a flat face her appearance was also different.
Is like this the difference between a country girl and a city girl, the difference is inversely."
"Who is that?" ask Jono again.
"Looks like he's not a kid from this village" Samal guessed.
"He's from the city. His father had bought the land in front of Abdul's house. You remember the town guy who bought the land in front of Abdul's house?"
Hearing that made us all nod our heads in unison.
"Yes the city guy is the guy in the suit" Mansur explained.
"Oh yeah?" I just don't believe it.
"Well, it's cool that Abdul can stay in front of the house of the beautiful woman," said Jono made Mansur not answer my question.
"You wait here, yeah!"
"Yes Dad," he then turned his head to look around to take out the phone from his branded bag and then pointed his camera in all directions to the village until finally the camera was pointed towards us making Jono who was very ignorant it quickly tidied up her hair as well as the rest of the food that was on the edge of her lips.
"He wanted to take a picture of me" he whispered with a face so enthusiastic.
the city girl lowered the camera from her face until it was clearly visible in front of me no more cellphones were blocking her.
Not long after that city girl stepped closer to us making
Jono is increasing his behavior, he hastily tidied his hair.
"look around, he's coming here" whispered Jono.
"Hi, you're the kids from this village, huh?" greet the city girl after she steps closer to us.
"Yes" I replied.
"My name is Jono, "said Jono who just stuck out his fat fingers to make the city girl shake Jono's hand.
"Well, that's so soft" whispered Jono almost broke my eardrum.
"No need to whisper!" annoyed me while rubbing my earlobe that feels hot.
"You're from town, huh?"samal's mind is no less excited.
"Yes I'm from the city. All of you are children from Swatani village, yes?"
"Yes. You look deaf, don't you?" tanya Leha made me look back.
"My friend said yes" Leha replied, making me and my friends look back at Leha.
It seemed like Leha did not like this city girl so she answered the question of the city girl with a slick answer. Well, it's possible that Leha doesn't like this city girl because Jono and Samal are showing an overly open attitude.
"I'm just from town to town. Can I wonder a little about this city?"
"Let's just go!" take Leha and then pull my friends who intend to leave her but, apparently the girl instead ran after us while shouting at us however, he said, my friends and I were never allowed to look around because Leha always forbade us to arrive at the top of the hill where Mandra's buffaloes were grazing.
"Look at him following us!" point at Mansur who made us all turn to look at the girl who seemed to be struggling up the hill.
"It looks like the city girl is very weak. He can't even climb up this hill" commented Samal.
"Just leave him alone" Leha said complete with her cynical look.
"It looks like you hate the town boy so much" I said frankly.
"No, I don't hate just being upset."
"What are you upset about?"
Leha fell silent.
"Just be sorry."
"I'm actually upset too."
"Because what?" Leha asked back.
"Because of his arrival this forest was cut down"
"It is not the forest that is cut down but the tree" Mansur said.
"What's the difference between a forest and a tree instead of being related? The forest, the tree. Trees, yes forests," I obviously make them want guests to just be quiet.
The sound of footsteps made us turn to look at Leha who apparently ran over to the girl who was seen crawling on the hill as if no longer able to climb.
Leha stuck out a hand making the city boy look up. He was seen smiling and clasping Leha's fingers made Leha pull her, helping the girl rise from the grass.
"You okay?" tanyakanya.
"It's okay. I'm doing fine. Thank you for helping me."
"Together."
