I woke up because soon my father and mother would come.Because I had to prepare coffee or tea for them.We cook still using the stove even though my mother bought her brother kerosene stove .Because there was no gas stove and we

around 3 o'clock my mom and dad came home.

''Endar.'' Call Dad.

''Ea yah ..this coffee is again brewed'' I said from the kitchen.

I approached Dad who was sitting on the floor, and my mother went to the bathroom to clean herself up.

''Well .. this is a new school year, can ga Endar nerusin school to High School ..'' I said.

Dad sighed and said,

''Not that Dad forbid, but Dad can't afford to charge you'' said my father.

I also fell silent to the words said Father.It is true that my father is old and looks wrinkled on his face that makes it clear that he is entering the age of twilight.

''But said Mas Asdar I have to go to school.

''Indeed Masmu said what.'' continued Dad.

Our chickens are quite a lot.quite reliable if again kepepet .Besides that, my father also likes to keep bangkok chickens.

Finally mom came home.Today mom got a lot of merchandise.And I also helped her arrange the vegetables.

the night is approaching .Mother turned on the lamp and closed the chicken coop.Daddy was busy with her kretek cigarette.As I headed to the kitchen to cook dinner after finishing praying maghrib congregation. Our dinner menu was quite simple just white rice and stir-fried papaya and white crackers.But we never complain that the important thing is still being able to eat and the body remains healthy.

Finally the cooking was finished and I put it on the table in the living room because we did not have a dining table.

We ate three alone while watching tv giving Mas Asdar after I graduated Junior High with satisfactory grades.

Suddenly my ponakan brother beside the house nongol.Ceritany want to watch tv because we again eat he was told to eat also the same Father.Oh yes he was his name Eni had a sister named Umi.Son of the younger brother of the father who his house next door to our house.Her mother was a widow in fact he had a younger brother but had died of an illness.Tp did not know what disease because at that time I was too small to remember.

''Aunt Ella where ..''I said to Eni.

''Mother again pijit.'' she replied.

''pantes ain't no nongol from earlier.''I said.

Because usually my aunt took part in arranging the wares of the mother.Later if there are leftover vegetables that are not worth selling can be made a side dish for tomorrow.

We also watch tv together through the night.Joking together , we feel happy despite living in simplicity.Tak feels the night is getting late and we also headed to each room to rest.
