if we do not take a shower, there we can catch a cold, with our clothes wet, finished bathing and wearing clothes, time has rolled towards magrip, time has also rolled, and we rushed to perform the magrip prayer

finished praying, we also teach, it is our habit to finish praying and teach after her, and lastly teach these little ones to learn, I did not continue school as well as my sister, I did not continue to study, but for Mangajari Adek I learn just that we can, we can,

sometimes we also help them with their schoolwork, help them find things that are difficult to answer, or just easy,

finished all, we also had dinner, after it was just that we relaxed, enjoyed the soap opera With the fall, really undeniable, after work tired, fun like this, this, straighten a sore waist, though,

" you're not coming with this, my mom asked me.

" why do I come, there is no other work, I answered still focused on the television screen.

" don't get tired of you at home.ask mama again.

" no ma. answered me immediately.

and mama no longer asked, until late at night we were about to sleep, but my brother did not come back, so I had to call him, so,

as long as she's lazy, but what's okay, I have to call her, because she's a girl, and it's late at night, I'm gonna step this foot up to the porch, to call her, to call her,
