Today is monday. I decided not to go to school, not that I was lazing around or not being serious about school, it's just that today I intend to go take Kang Roy to the big road and there he will wait for the car that will take him to the city.

At first you went to the city but did not want to make Kang Roy disappointed. Finally, he allowed with a heavy heart.

Today so very early in the morning after coming home from dawn prayer I saw Kang Roy stuffing some clothes into his bag. Not too much because Kang Roy is just for a walk there. Some red money sheets have been he cantongi as supplies are currently in the city.

Already since this early morning Mama looks very busy in the kitchen struggling with food that will be provided by Kang Roy during the trip from the village to the city later.

The distance between the village to the city is quite far, it takes up to 10 hours not to mention if the road is so very long. There are many obstacles that they need to cross that cannot be estimated and calculated.

If only the city was not very far away maybe I would often go to the city however, because the distance traveled is not close. It takes a bit of days if the obstacles and obstacles are too much.

When I want to take a shower I can see Mama who looks like she is struggling in the kitchen. Food for Kang Roy. Warm rice, fried fish, sambal and some other side dishes become provisions for Kang Roy who has been prepared in a bushel made of iron. The same bushel Mama used when bringing us supplies when planting the corn seedlings.

I straightened my hair with a comb. My hair was still wet after I took a shower. I laughed a little when I saw my face on the mirror reflection that was a bit blurry. A little laugh at me because I do not want to go to the city but I also dress as if I am going to come to the city.

After seeing my neat hair I began to step down the stairs while occasionally tidying up my hair which is now almost similar to the hair that Samal has.

Now I go down the stairs and look left right staring at the road waiting for my friends who never come to go to school.

I don't know why they haven't come yet when usually if the school then they will come quickly. Especially this Monday even though there are no ceremonial activities at school. Just learn rarely how to want a flag raising ceremony.

Our departure must be quick because we are all afraid that Kang Roy will miss the car or the car that will deliver to the city waiting for a long time. We do not want to see people waiting and bothering others, this is the principle of the Father and he tries to instill in his children.

I smiled happily when I could see my friends coming. All four of them seemed to walk side by side.

They look confused, maybe because they see my figure who does not use school uniforms as usual.

"Why don't you wear a uniform? You're not in school?" ask Jono.

"Not today Kang Roy wants to go to town. I want to go with him."

"You want to go to town?"

"I'm not just Kang Roy. I just drove him all the way to the big road."

They all nodded in understanding while occasionally staring at the door as you Roy pulled out the bag from the house.

"If Ms. Fatimah teaches you later please tell me the lessons you learned, then I will study at home after returning from dropping off Kang Roy."

I nodded smilingly looking towards my friends who were now waving their hands and leaving. I stared at him until my friends had completely drifted away and disappeared behind the hillside.

Before long, my friends were a bendi with a horse that ran slowly and casually made me quickly run up the steps approaching Mama who was seen challenging provisions for supplies for Kang Roy during the trip.

"Mama! Mama!"

"What Roy? Why are you screaming like that what's up?"

"That's Uncle Karim. He's already come. He got on a bendi," I said with a hysterical face, knowing his name was also a child.

"really?"

"Yes, Ma. Abdul saw it for himself."

"Assynjetoy!"

The sound of greeting was heard making me turn my head then ran towards Uncle Karim who was seen standing on the lip of the door.

"Are you leaving already?"

Uncle Karim asked, I just wanted to answer Kang Roy appeared from his room and the question was answered directly by Kang Roy.

"Yes Uncle. I'm ready."

"You're going alone?"

"I'm with Uncle. I want to take Kang Roy to the big road, is it okay?"

"May we leave a lot then it's better so we won't be lonely" he explained making me smile happily.

After saying goodbye to Mama, Kang Roy finally went up on the bendi as well as me while you were going to the garden since this morning.

Either because he was busy with his garden or indeed he did not want to see the departure of Kang Roy. I told you that you don't really agree if Kang Roy goes to town even if it's just a walk to see his best friend's workplace, he said, si Ujang who used to behead in this village but, he decided to wander into the city and find work.

The bendi finally moved as the horse pulled the bendi I was riding. I waved at Mama who also waved her hand as well as Sister Santi who looked a little upset when I left because today she will help Mama pluck eggplant in the garden that's pretty broad.

Well, of course he was upset because of my absence then all the work would only be done by him while I would sit quietly on the bendi looking at the scenery during the trip to the paved streets.
