The Little Steps of the Dream Warrior
Chapter 3 Dispenser
Dispensers
The light of dawn began to be biased because the rising sun illuminated the universe, as well as short needles on the wall clock of Abil's house which slowly began to leave the number five towards the number six. The roar of the chicken kokokan is increasingly clear, it seems that some chickens have just woken up from sleep and some others may be because of hunger, or maybe they are chickens deliberately seeking the attention of the world with the kokokanya, well whatever it is certainly all possible and only God and the chicken know.
The clouds in the sky were not visible to much today. So, even though it is rainy season it seems like this morning until noon the rain will not immediately fall. Today is Sunday, Abil is on school holidays, as well as Abil's mother who has a weekly day off on Sundays from her work as a saltfish factory worker in the next village.
This morning Abil and his mother were seen busy cleaning the house, Abil with her broomstick was in charge of sweeping the bedroom area, living room and front porch, while Abil's mother with her broomstick is in charge of cleaning the kitchen area and the side yard of the house. About an hour later, Abil, who was done with his duties, rushed to get a towel and went to the bathroom to take a shower, and the mother looks also almost finished sweeping the yard beside the house while cleaning the grass attached to the side wall of the house.
Today I took Abil to go to an electronics store located in the city market near the terminal to buy a drinking water dispenser, so after finishing cleaning the house, after cleaning the house, they plan to leave for the store before the sunlight gets hotter. Obviously they have to hurry, time is very important, in addition to the rainy season, the distance from Abil's house to the store is also quite far about ten kilometers. If using a motor vehicle or public transportation may not feel too far and the time can be faster, but because what they use to go later is the ontel bike that Abil mother usually uses to go to work, it is certainly much longer and requires a lot of energy preparation.
In addition to not having a motorized vehicle, using a bicycle is also one alternative that is chosen by Abil to be able to save from the expenditure of public transportation costs, including, it is quite possible to make snacks later if it has arrived at the market, although it is actually like just exchanging energy for snacks with the cost of taking transportation, but the plus value will be healthier by cycling, but the value will be healthier, although so minus in time and slightly blacken the skin that already looks black. hehehe
After the bath, Abil and his mother went to the kitchen for breakfast first. In addition to preparing energy, breakfast is also very important to do, so that the focus and condition of the body remains fit when exposed to street winds and hot sun. At around eight in the morning Abil and his mother rushed to leave, the time to travel from home to the destination by bicycle can be taken about an hour drive, with the road conditions slightly up and down, sometimes Abil and his mother had to go down to push his bike in order to pass the climb more safely.
Arriving at the market, Ms. Abil parked her bike to the market parking lot then walked to one of the nearest electronics stores to buy a dispenser. Arriving at one of the stores in the market, Abil's mother then told Abil to choose the dispenser as he wanted. Of course Abil who chose, it's because the reason you buy a dispenser even though at home there is already a teapot and kettles (drinking place from aluminum) is because Abil who asked for some time ago, Abil who asked for some time ago, he said after going to play to one of his themes He saw a nice and unique drinking place, can make automatic hot water and most importantly can be attached to the sticker on the body of the dispenser.
Abil's mother loved Abil very much, in her heart actually every desire Abil wanted to always He fulfilled but because financial conditions were not always possible to realize it, he said, so only some of Abil's requests can Abil's mother participate in one of these dispensers. Although to buy a dispenser only Abil's mother had to save it since about two months ago, collecting from money working in factories and sometimes on holidays Ibu Abil also worked odd jobs in the rice fields of others as an additional income. Moreover, for the next six months in each month Abil's mother had to buy cigarettes and coffee to stock his Father's needs, after being in prison one month ago because of a gambling case.
From inside the store while choosing a dispenser, Abil saw his mother who was standing in front of the store while wiping the sweat that was still coming out soaking her face, hands and also visible on the back and stomach are still wet with sweat. What Abil thinks of his mother is only one thing "What is it that Mom is thinking and feeling right now? ". Regardless, and did not want to disappoint his mother's sacrifice, Abil ignored it and continued to choose a dispenser that suits his wishes.
Yes, Abil's father is now serving a seven-month prison sentence, due to his gambling case. Apart from a large family, of course, Abil as a wife must also support the needs of his Father in prison, although only to buy cigarettes and coffee or a little extra money for the occasional snack when bored with food in the cell. Actually, conditions like this are much better than when Mr. Abil was at home, every day just ask for money to Mother or to sister – Abil brother overseas for his own pleasure not for the needs or basic needs of the family.
Even Ibu Abil can set aside more for this month so that it can be enough to buy a dispenser. Conditions at home even though only both Abil and his mother felt calmer this month, not intimidated, noisy because of the snoring of his Father who often snores when sleeping, not intimidated, the sound of the midnight TV is not heard disturbing the ears while sleeping. And Abil is very hopeful of conditions such as
this can always be felt until he grows up, although in fact it is likely to only happen about six months in the future until his father is out of prison.
After buying the dispenser they did not go home immediately. Abil's mother invited Abil to go eat meatballs first, in addition to let Abil happy because rarely – meatballs, after a long trip earlier it felt Abil's mother needed to fill the body with fuel again, also will soon want to go home, so it takes a lot of energy to be able to pedal a bike so as not to stop in the middle of the road because of hunger or fatigue. They leave the newly purchased dispenser to the parking attendant, and then walk to the meatball seller's place.
“Turna buy sticker in mas – mas toyman nih to fill in the picture on the front and side of the dispenser” thought Abil happily still thinking about diapenser.
The clear weather looks to have begun to dim, clouds – black clouds in the sky began to arrive towards Abil and his mother who was eating, and the, soon they finished eating and went to the parking lot to rush home before it rained. Likewise with time, now it has shown eleven o'clock over twenty, which is soon the time for prayer dzuhur arrived. Abil's mother pedaled her bike a little faster than when she left earlier, in order to get home before it rained. While Abil in the boncegan holding tightly dispenser on his lap so as not to fall while on the trip.
Thankful they got home before it rained, about half an hour later. Rushing Abil's mother cleaned herself to immediately be able to perform dzuhur prayer while Abil was still busy turning – mutar dispenser, which was still busy, observing it and occasionally smelling it ensures the aroma arising from the dispenser is the distinctive smell of new items and not used items that are repackaged. Reading the dispenser use guidebook also Abil did in order to understand about the dispenser and how to use it properly.
After praying, the mother who saw it still did not move from the side of the dispenser to take ablution and then reprimanded it,
“Nak, why not wudhu? Kan Abil has not prayed” said Abil's mother reprimanded him.
“Iya Ma'am, in a moment, this is the reading is not finished” Abil replied while the view is still fixed on the dispenser manual.
“Yaudah, here's my dispenser back to the store yes. Abilnya so males – malesan because” said Mother again so that Abil rushed to pray.
“Lahh don't dong Bu, Yes – yes this Abil wudhu now ya” sahut Abil while hurrying to put the book he read and then go to the bathroom to take ablution water and after praying.
After the prayer, Abil's mother who was exhausted from cycling a good distance went straight to the room to rest. While Abil finished praying directly continue his activity of unboxing dispenser and mapping the place of the sticker that he will attach later.
The – days Abil and his mother spent over the past seven months were so much fun, they could do their activities better. Abil can learn more calmly, free to play and watch TV at home. Mothers also look more comfortable when resting at home after work, sometimes they also move together, when cleaning the house, going to the rice fields caring for vegetable crops – vegetables or sometimes watching TV. Abil mother can also pay SPP Abil school on time every month, and to eat also Mother can every day buy a side dish even though it is just crackers, tempeh or salted fish. This is much better than before which is usually a full day only there is white rice without vegetables or side dishes and the tip of – ends make the mainstay onion sauce.
The new dispenser that some time ago in the fold is now full of ultramen stickers and various kinds of animals according to what Abil wants. Until finally Mr. Abil came out of prison and participated in living life together in the family. As was not expected before, the return of Mr. Abil from prison only went well about the first month, after the life as before back Abil and his mother felt.
Prison does not always seem to give a deterrent effect or positive impact to the perpetrators of lawbreakers, quite a lot of who assume that prison is only “ where someone gets the right punishment for the wrong done” mekipun right, he said, but would not it be more appropriate and wise to mean that prison is “ places feel the same suffering as he did to others” (according to the capacity of each – individual), so by feeling the pain of suffering felt, the person should not do the same thing again and correct his mistakes.
Whatever it was Abil always tried to understand about the feelings he felt, whether when something bad happened to him, to his mother or to others around him. By understanding what he feels about himself and others, Abil becomes more and more aware of what he might and might not do. He promised himself to break the chain of hatred and suffering, by not doing what he disliked to others, except only He did with the aim of motivating towards good things which would certainly have a considerable positive impact on Abil, as an example of enthusiasm and unyielding.
