Being a sister, for the Moon is a heavy burden after the death of his mother.
His sister is still a child, even though she can take care of herself in a simple way
such as eating, drinking, preparing their own provisions and others. Things that already
taught their mothers since childhood.
Moon thought, maybe his mother knew that his age would not be long
like the mothers of other children. And she had to prepare her two daughters
face it.
To the Moon, she was sad, there was no place to lean. Trivial things
like just hugging when menstrual pain comes. Or welcome when they come home
school. Make food warm when they are sick. Take her to the doctor. And defend
they were when Eyang started to blame anything that could be blamed.
for a Father. The question is asked every week the same. How's school? Money
your pocket and sister still? Anything to buy? That'sthat's all.
He felt sorry for his sister sometimes. The boy often looked dreamy. He just
open to the Moon and Sandra. Two friends, but one of them does not
ever liked by Eyangnya. Once, when menstruation was first at the beginning of entering Junior High, he
delivered by Lisa, her face was pale. And looks confused.
He certainly called her to help take care of her sister. Long ago sanitary pads
not as advanced now. Moon taught her sister to wash her own underwear,
how to make the blood stains disappear. How to remove the pads
right, everyone.
And even though it has been taught, until now the former pads sometimes
left in the bathroom. He was angry at Matari and the Moon. Because tired, though,
The moon often also scolded his sister how often teledor like that.
“Remember, Matari. There will always be people out there who don't like it
with us.” The word Moon one day. “So, you should be able to do everything yourself.
MUST!”
“Eyang?”
“Why with Eyang?”
“She doesn't like us either huh, sister?”
“That, I don't know. Sometimes some of his advice can still be logical, some
not at all. But whatever it is, you have to get everything. Don't let
trouble others. Know?”
Matari.
“Gue is about to graduate High School, graduate college, and I hope I can find a job
which is worthy of us. We both will be out of this house. Snacking or
contract where it is.”
“Emang can be same Dad?”
“Bby, maybe. My dad only comes once a week, right?”
“Keep if I want to see Dad how?”
“We're here. Or Dad who came to our place. Easy right?”
Matari.
“Lo must be diligent in school, can not take DO. I promised you, Dad,
bakalan nyekolahin both of us to become scholars. So, you can't miss
the occasion.”
Matari looked at her brother. Her brother should be more mature than his age
actually, because he had to bring his sister towards his ideals and also
own ideals.
“Not everyone who is single parent, his son has a chance to be
sampe college. Could be a scholar. Not everyone, Matari. Temen me
even yes, even after High School there are definitely not going to continue college. She even
I have ever talked to you. Want to be SPG. Workings. Because yes, that was, Ri. Naw
everyone has the same opportunity. Though my friend is still his or her
full-length. But, there is no cost. If she went to college, her sisters wouldn't be able to
school.”
“Keep if brother college, I alone dong at home Eyang this?”
“Hmmm, yes. How else, Ri. And when I was in college, you definitely might

nice it's far from here, will be a lot of time out on the road.”
“No papa, Brother. It's even good if I get here already malem. Bobo
doang.”
Moon shaking. “No. You think, coming home malem is prone. Lo kudu
you can take care of yourself. Okay, maybe you can ride a bike, but, uh
whahuh? Tetep aja lo girl that if in today's times, our people are easy with
it's easy to be harassed by people out there. So you should think long, then,
OK?”
“Oke, Brother.”
“And maybe, whether I want to talk about this happy news or not. But, uh,
Sandra will probably be here long.”
“Means Brother?”
“Om Budi kaya is so bad. Yesterday when Dad came, I was horrified
they talked about that will. And I also saw Aunt Dina crying a lot. Grandparent
aslo. The worst possibility is, they'll be here a long time and maybe lo the same
Sandra will be in the same Junior High School later. Next year, Sandra will be moved
to SMP lo.”
Matari was speechless.
“That's what I said, Ri. There's no guarantee me, elo, anyone's home
it's gonna live forever. If you can fight alone, fight. We
must see Aunt Dina. He works, so when Om Budi can not meet
living a rich family gini, their finances are not too shrewd.”
