Life is full of simplicity through Vio, indirectly educate her to be an independent girl, and have a good personality. Appreciating Parents, Time and Money.

In Vio's little heart, it's like to enjoy the affection of a whole parent. Missing the figure of a Father whom he had never even seen for just him to remember his face. He wanted to know who his father was but the pain his mother felt that made him not have the heart to ask. Viola little girl, three months away she turns 15, right in August. The little girl who was soon sitting on the bench of Junior High School 9th grade.

The love of a mother he felt was only a little. How not???. Ana must arrive at her employer's house at 5am, while leaving her employer's house at 7pm, after her job is done. While the distance takes half an hour of travel.

Tonight, Ana's home a little late. Because the driver who drove home was a little unlucky.

"Vio, haven't slept, son???". Mom opens the front door and finds Vio cutting vegetables for his stuffing of spring rolls in the living room.

" Mom!!". Vio kissed his mother's hand.

"Kok you haven't slept???".

" This is Ma'am, I'm making lumpia stuffing. The task of the School was completed this afternoon, the lumpia skin was also ready. I'm not sleepy either. So, I cut the vegetables first. Let the morning bsok relax a little!!!". Vio explained.

"Here I help!!". Ana cuts vegetables.

" Mom just rest there!!!".

"Mom's not sleeping yet, son. Hmmmm.. Monday's Class Ascension Exams, right???".

" Yes, Mom!!!".

" Tomorrow morning, you say the same Miss Ismi and Ms. Siti, During the Class Hike Exam, the holidays used to not nitip the cake equally lumpia".

"But, Mum. If we don't sell, our income is empty, Mom!!!".

" No, Son!!!. You still have enough money to eat a day!!!".

"But, Ma???".

" Already, nothing but but!!!".

"Okay, Mom!!".

Ana works as a domestic assistant in a wealthy family earning only a fair wage. Just enough to eat and pay electricity taxes and transport to work. Because when he comes home, he will be escorted by his employer's driver. For other costs, savings and Vio School, the proceeds from the sale of Lumpia and Wet Cakes are deposited in two school canteens. SMP Intra and SMP Negri XX.

The night is getting late, Isian lumpia is already so. Lumpia material is ready, tomorrow morning just fold then in the fry. Mother has also made the wet cake batter, stayed in the lid and then the next day has expanded and is ready to be steamed.

"Mother, Vio is going to sleep first!!!". Vio kissed his mother's hand.

" Yes, Son. I want to sleep too!!!". Mom kissed her daughter's forehead.

Time is rolling so fast. The alarm on the alarm clock has sounded. Marking the clock shows at 4 am. Vio rushed to the kitchen and began heating a very large pan of cooking oil and a large boiler that was used to steam wet cake batter. While waiting for the Oil to boil, Vio folded the spring rolls and poured the already inflated cake batter into the mold. With such a large tool, it does not take long in cooking. When he was ready, he was ready to go to school. With 2 full baskets, each containing 50 pieces is ready to be brought. Every now and then he screams at his sales. That is the routine every day.

As usual, SMP Intra became his first destination this morning. Entering the school gate with a cheerful face while carrying his basket. The time shows at 06:20, the Intra Junior High School Students pass by and some pay attention to their steps.

"You're not a student of this school, are you???". Asked a student to stop Vio's steps.

" No, Brother!!. I delivered a cake from Bu Ismi's order at the School Canteen!!!". Vio answered honestly.

"Ohhhh... Are you a cake seller???". The student stared at Vio's appearance with a slight demeanour.

" Yes, Brother. Sorry, pardon!!". Vio hurried away.

"Poor arrogant boy!!!". The schoolgirl had spoken to her two friends.

" Yes, Sha. A cake seller!!!". Answer one of his friends.

"Udahlah... mending us to Andi's class!!!". Shasha passed towards Andi's class.

Thirty minutes passed, Vio had already entered the gate of his School. Still with his trading basket, Vio headed for his School Canteen.

" Siti Mom, Mom!!!!". Vio shouted to the canteen guard.

"Vio!!!".

" Mom, it's the same lumpia as the wet cake. Each of 25 pieces". Vio put his basket on the canteen table.

"Yes, Vi. Let me set up Mother later. You yesterday why not just nitip the same lumpia cake in this Canteen???".

" What-what????? Vio who just sat down was even confused by Rani's question.

"That tall chuckle that hit you yesterday, lohh!!!". Rani is more enthusiastic.

" Ohh... I forgot, Ran. Heheheheh...". Vio nyengir's.

"Yahhhhh....". Rani put on a disappointed face.

" Hehehehehe". Vio laughed at the look on his friend's face.

"Let's go with you and take the money to the Intra Junior High School, Vi!!!". Rani is very curious about the figure that Vio told me about yesterday.

" Yes!!!". Vio just smiled at Rani's behavior.

It didn't last long, the school bell rang. The sign is that their time to study begins. The classroom has been filled by its residents. They threw jokes at each other while waiting for the Teacher who taught to come.

At the same time, in a different place. Shasha, who had not attended the school, approached Andi who was sitting alone in the Library.

"An...!!!". Shasha hugged Andi from behind.

" What the hell are you, Sha!!!". Andi tries to let go of Shasha's embrace.

" An, you don't want to be my girlfriend???". Shasha still hugged Andi from behind.

"No!!!". Answer Andi cuek.

" Why are you???". Shasha is even more insolent which makes Andi more uncomfortable.

"Deliver!!!!". Andi hurled Shasha violently, then left.

" Brand!!!". Shasha ran after Andi who was walking with wide strides.

Shasha lost track of Andi, snarling him along the school corridor.

"Neng, your daughter's grown up now, is she???".

" Yes, Mbok. Vio's about to move up to 9th grade".

"Tell me who's the father, Neng????".

" It always asks, Mbok. But, after I explained until now I have never asked again!!". Answer Ana.

"No need for you, Neng. Got another husband???".

" Well, Mbok. But, does Vio want to have a stepfather???".

"You're young, Neng!!!. Compassion is the same Vio, so He can also feel the affection of a Father!!!".

" Now I'm scared, Mbok. On television news always aired the news 'Stepfather tortured stepchildren' and worse 'Stepfather raped his stepson'. That's Mbok, who I'm afraid of!!!". Ana brushed out her heart.

"Not all stepfathers are like that, Neng".

" I'm still scared, Mbok!!!".
