The Sandwich Generation's

PoV Alin's

My name is alin I am the 5th child of 7 brothers under me there are two sisters who are still sitting in elementary school while I am already sitting in 9th grade aka 3rd grade smp.

I was born in the middle of a family that fit the heat though can not be said lack of my father is just a tailor who opened the vermak at home and sometimes received a wholesale from the convection lack of energy when they are chasing the target.

In this family is only Lisa's sister who can be relied on, while my other brother and sister are completely unreliable honestly I feel sorry for Lisa's sister.

As a girl I'm still relatively young I know Lisa's sister wants to be like a girl her age, who can buy the things she wants from her labor .

But because of the circumstances Lisa's sister was forced to give up while I know the journey of Lisa's life is not easy ,since childhood he was forced to part with his mother's father and we to his 6 brothers he joined and was raised by our aunt who lived on another island.

After graduating from High School Lisa's brother returned to the clutches of father and mother but had to replace father as the backbone of the family, the family, even though I also know Lisa's salary is nothing like that of a female underware brand in a mall in my city.

I wanted to help Lisa ease the burden on the family, but my position as a 9th grader made it harder for me to find a job.

Quiet silence I often see Lisa crying because she alone carries such a heavy burden with no place for her to complain.

No wonder Lisa's sister looked older than her actual age because of the pressure of the burden she had to carry alone.

I don't know what was on the minds of my parents when they gave children up to 7 people, while they know the situation they can't afford to support our children.

Yes I know the paradigm of people in that era is indeed different from the paradigm of parents born in that era with the generation after her , moreover, Millennials who think mature before determining the number of children they want in their household.

All the problems in this family seem to be the responsibility of Lisa's sister including when Yuni's sister was hit by a problem of tubi due to the bad treatment of my brother-in-law bang Andy all Lisa's sister who completed.

Although in terms of age, Yuni is older but her way of thinking and behaving is much more mature, Lisa Kak Yuni is childish because of the excessive treatment of mothers and fathers.

Indeed, I must admit that among the daughters of Kak Yuni's father has a different level of his own, the beautiful yuni kak paras because his mamak and Dad treat kak Yuni special.

Whatever the wishes of the yuni kak always followed at that time, because at that time only bang Nasrul and kak Yuni were present in the middle of the household of father and Mamak.

As a result of this preferential treatment, Kak Yuni grew into a weak person and tended to be unable to determine his attitude,

despite having a family and being blessed with a pair of sons and daughters.

Even when the household was worried he could not determine the attitude even though it had been treated very badly by bang Andy who was none other than my brother-in-law Yuni's brother-in-law.

Father and mother after the Johan bang was born wanted not to give birth again but what would be said because they live in a village with a limited environment of people whose education they are easily affected by people people around.

At that time there was a belief held by some people at that time that many children were the sustenance of mamak and the father was the victim of the understanding that I think a little misleading.

With very limited economic conditions, it is certainly not easy for Father and Mamak to raise us to his 7 children, I can understand if leaving Lisa's sister to relatives was the only way at that time.

Sister Lisa is a hero, yes she should deserve the title of hero at least she became a hero for her family, at a relatively young age she had to bear such a heavy burden.

In my silence I often cried why I had to witness all this, not that I regret being born as Alin the son of a tailor who lives in limitations but what I regret is why you have to be born as a 5th child why I was not born as a first child or to a two.

I am not ashamed to be born a son of a tailor I am proud of the father profession at least the father did not feed us with the illegitimate and remains responsible as a family.

I would be more ashamed if my father lavished us with luxury but in getting from the road that is not lawful for example being corrupt.

If I were born as the first or second child, I would try to be better than Yuni or Nasrul.

Soon the year will change which became my prayer

O Allah in the coming year I make sure to fight with your wajjada manjadda I have no power but prayer and effort .

Then let your fayyakun accompany me, whatever happens to me in the coming year let me breastfeed, make my pain to be a provision to be better, to be better, a provision that will lead me to happiness later.

May God allow me to break the doubts of others towards me by elevating my family and rewarding both my parents and my brother with success.

Lisa one day I will prove to my mother and father and to the world that I Alin will try to raise this family.

I will pay for every drop of sweat that comes from my mom's dad and sister Lisa Dalsm raised me yes I want to change the fate of our family.

Alin who is now your burden will one day raise the degree of this family which is my determination the determination of the child who from childhood must resist all desires because it realizes the limitations that exist.

Even though I look like a child who does not know yourself in your eyes but deep in my heart I am determined that one day I will change the way they look at us.
