EMBARK

After coming out of his house, Fathan walked through a small alley, seen many old people who have been old they sit while pensive. sukadarma village that day is very crowded, lively and luxurious, living, now it's like an uninhabited dead village. Fathan continues to scan the entire area of his village which is very worrisome.The old Renta should live happily with his grandchildren.

"When to go home, reportedly you want to be transferred to Surabaya?" ask the old man who was sitting on the bench next to the house, when Fathan passed the alleyway.

"So morning sir, if I go to Surabaya I do not become."

"Why?"

"It's okay! afraid of being eaten sir!" fathan replied jokingly.

"Ah, are you there, really not going to Surabaya?"

"For Sir! I'll stay here long."

"What are you going to stay in the village for a long time, if in the village it is difficult to find money." asked the person who sat down.

"You're closer to family?"

"Where are you going this early?"

"Do you see the father's rice field near the road?"

"Oh so, yes, pity the rice field will soon want to harvest, but it seems to fail again.because it looks to many red ones."

Heard the words of the man in front of him. Fathan only took a deep breath, feeling sorry for his parents, because he also knew not only his parents' rice fields were affected by pests, but all the villagers were attacked without exception.

"Yes, I said yes sir! because if the hot bad luck is pretty blistering!" fathan asked for permission.

"Yes, be careful!"

Fathan continued the journey that was about to check the rice fields owned by his parents.he continued down the Road until finally he arrived at the rice fields are so wide, as far as the eye can see then the rice fields are visible. its yellow pad is shone by the morning sun making it like a carpet that is spread out. But the beauty is not comparable to reality, because when viewed closely the rice is a lot of empty, many empty. so this year the residents will suffer losses like in previous years.

Fathan continued to walk down the path that is in the middle of the rice fields, while continuing to pay attention to the rice that he thought was lacking care, lack of handling, so that the rice could fail the harvest as it is now.

Long walk finally he got to one of the rice fields are quite wide, maybe if measured there is one hectare, the rice field is the rice fields owned by Fathan's parents. The situation is the same as the other rice fields, which are now attacked by red pests. At the end of the rice fields there is a large road that stretches splitting pesawahan, actually if you want to go to the rice fields owned by Fathan's parents. he can use a vehicle, but he prefers to walk while controlling the rice fields owned by sukadarma villagers.

Fathan continued to scan the entire rice field area owned by his parents, he continued to pay attention to look for seeds of disease from pests that afflict rice. Fathan began to check the planting media in him see in plain sight what he can conclude.it turns out that according to the advice of moisture and water flowing through the rice fields is appropriate, but he has not concluded, but he has not concluded, is the use of the wrong fertilizer, or lack of fertilizer, thus causing blight leaf disease. Fathan looked at the area of the rice leaf, then picked the rice leaf he noticed carefully, weighing and guessing whether this happened due to bacteria or maintenance errors.

"I think I should go to the city, I should check everything in the lab for clarity." muttered Fathan as he picked up the phone, then pressed one of the numbers to call.

"Assynnya!" greet someone on the other end of the phone.

"Waalaikumsalam, how are you Seno sir?"

"Ah you! ordinary times, don't be like that! Thank God my good news is, how are you?"

"Thank God I am good too, but there is less?"

"There's less, what?"

"Lack of support from agronomists, famous in our city."

"Haha. What's the connection? oh yeah, by the way now where is it."

"I'm in Sen's village again, I want to farm like I told you. You also know that my love for Tani is beyond anything."

"God has already! Can I play at home, maybe there is a time to talk about buying lessons for beginner farmers?"

"Hahaha, can you Tan! when can I come here, my door will always be open?"

"If I could be soon, when would there be time, if I would be unemployed."

"May it be afternoon How? after I came home from the office.all you nginep, kangen nih It's been a long time we don't fuss."

"Wow, thank you for your kindness."

"Together, Tan! this is nothing compared to the kindness of you who used to help me, to pay off so many semester arrears."

"Udah ah shame! yes, I will run out, leaving for the city.

"Okay, I wait!"

Finally the phone was disconnected, Fathan put the phone back in his pants pocket and then he took a soil sample and put it in the bag he had brought, continuing to take a sample of water. Fathan continued to work on preparing materials for discussion with his best friend who was very skilled in agriculture.

After feeling that all the work in the rice field was finished, he walked towards the garden owned by his parents, passing through a large road that had been peeled asphalt, and then he walked towards the garden, leaving large stones scattered like a river that is dry.

On the way Fathan met with other farmers who were in the fields.They greeted each other and asked for news, there are also some people who ask why Fathan left a high position in order to just farm.

10 Minutes passed finally Fathan arrived at one of the Gardens overgrown with weeds, because the people of Kampung sukadarma they prefer farming by planting rice, rather than gardening. Fathan, whose thinking is far away, he wants to change the mindset of his people. because farming rice is only so-so, the use of fertilizer is very much, not comparable to the price of rice sold. in contrast to vegetables, the use of fertilizer can be minimized, with fast sales.the treatment is not too extra.

In the unkempt garden, he did the same thing as he did in the fields. Fathan took soil samples and other sample samples. After feeling that everything was enough, he finally decided to go home and get ready to go to the city to meet his best friend.

Arriving at the house of his parents who still have not received with the decision that Fathan took. when he saw Fathan came they just glanced for a moment without greeting him even though the child said greetings.sadness, hate, hate, and, angry at being one, still filling their crown.but Fathan does not mind it, because he knows it is only temporary.he is sure one day his parents will accept him back as before.

Fathan went straight into the room, to store the sample freshly taken into the box, then he took a towel to clean his body that felt sticky by sweat.

After finishing the bath, he changed clothes with cocoa clothes, then went to the mosque to perform congregational prayers.

After returning from the mosque immediately Fathan changed clothes, then put in some clothes to prepare for the time he was in the city, not forgetting the sample he had taken he rice field, he said, he put it in a bag. After it felt everything was neat, and no one left he even approached his parents who were in the kitchen.

"Bu Fathan is going to Sukabumi first! maybe Fathan was there." said Fathan with his mother, but his mother did not answer. It was as if his son's words were just the wind then

"Fathan pamit first, assalamualaikum!" he said while reaching out to kiss the back of his mother's hand, but Sri was just silent as if she did not care about the whereabouts of her child.

"Getting his mother's treatment like that, Fathan simply smiled then he went rushing towards the courtyard of the house, where his motorbike was parked.

"Where are you going, brother?" Sarah, who had just returned from school, looked red in the heat.

"So don't go to town for a second! what to bring by what"

"No Brother! Sarah doesn't want anything, be careful on the road!" said his youngest sister, then the girl greeted and kissed the back of his brother's hand.

After his brother went into the house, Fathan turned on the motorbike, then exited the alley to the big road.he continued to ride the motor in the hot sun.but that did not make him discouraged, but it did not make him discouraged, he who had already made up his mind from the start, such a hurdle was only a small hurdle that he had to cross.

Before he got to Sukabumi City he first took the time to stop by the food stall, family rejection of the decision taken, requiring him to eat at the rice stall.

After finishing filling his stomach, he again continued the journey until 14:00 he arrived in the city.Because his promise is still later in the afternoon, he took a visit to the farm shops to add insight.

After being satisfied chatting with the farm shop, he also visited the farm tool store, so that he knew about the development of technology and could calculate the costs he would spend. azan Ashar finally reverberated. Fathan decides to rest first before meeting his best friend while carrying out his duties as a Muslim.
