Back to school, Andi did not go straight home. He had to go to the market, buy fish and other kitchen necessities, or sometimes rice. Almost every day he went to the market, so the fish traders in the market knew him. If Sunday he will also go to the market but not for shopping but to keep the parking, no one knows what Andi does every weekend, except for his brother, who is not the one who is doing it, Aris asked him for money. His mother Andi was always at home, sitting in a wheelchair, he was paralyzed next door due to a stroke when Andi was in the fifth grade of Elementary School.
" Assalamualaikuuum,, Andi's coming home" while putting down the mountain bike and carrying the luggage.
" Waalaikumsalamm" Mama replied smiling, she sat on the sofa watching television, sometimes falling asleep there so bored.
Andi pushed her wheelchair into the kitchen, taking her to her daily routine. Andi handed over the spices and thins to mama to be smoothed by him to be poured into the fish that have been cleaned while he washed the rice and cooked it in rice coocker.
Before frying the fish, Andi bathe first, itung-itung while waiting for the fish seasoning to seep in. After frying the fish, the rice is cooked. Mama faithfully waits for Andi to work, sometimes giving cooking tips. Make pepes fish or cook sambel, stir-fry while listening to tips from mama, mama is also a taste-chip, is fit or not. This daily routine makes him happy after a week of unemployment there is no work at home other than watching television.
" Here Father Ma "Tanya Andi while preparing the dinner plate.
" Went to take his mother, Mr. Mahmud, he said there was a lecture at his in-laws' house" replied the mother while receiving a plate containing rice offered by her son.
" Aris hasn't come home yet, has she eaten, yes" said Mama remembering Aris, her eldest child.
" Sister was in the market earlier Ma, hanging out in the hangar" replied Andi briefly.
" If there is no You Ndi, your mother will be hungry all day. Just look at your brother, come home at night, your father is also not home all day" Omel mama , take out the teardrops in his heart.
Indeed, Andi saw his brother near the market, smoking with his friends. Once Andi found his brother drunk in the market, reprimanded not successful. Want to report to your mother or father, can not say a word when faced with them. They are only 3.8 years different. Aris attended SMAN1 Kandangan, 3rd grade. The school is famous in the city, famous for its great athletes. Very different from the intelligent Andi, Aris is the type of child who is stupid and ignorant, does not want to be difficult, he said, even entered the school because he was a reliable basketball athlete and became a favorite student of his sports teacher.
Aris is very envious of Andi who according to him is lucky to be able to attend an international school, what Aris wants can always be obtained Andi, the father always seeks the needs of Andi. While Andi also envies her brother who is supple, easy to get along with, many friends, and has the ability. The two brothers did not get along, at home rarely met because Aris always came home at night, while the next morning Aris always misfortune.
After finishing eating and cleaning the dishes, Andi will clean her mother and help mama berwudu and then pray congregation. Your daily routine is like that every day.
When I was a child before my mom got sick, Andi was actually a super active child, hard to keep quiet, mama was overwhelmed to reprimand her. While Aris is a street child, likes to bike far away with his friends. Play with Andi when both chasing kites, get along there.
After my mom had a stroke, everything changed. He took an early retirement, but still 5 years on duty. His intention of retirement was to accompany a sick mother, and bring mama treatment and massage every month, but in fact he even sought extra money by being a call driver and sometimes a taxi kernet. Mr. tuh rich man Aris who can not stay in one place, people who easily bored.
Before my mom got sick, money was fine for them, even if they were not rich, but they did not starve and could afford to buy children. Mr. PNS and sometimes a driver for people who are lazy to drive their own car. Mama who also follow the extra money by opening a special stall breakfast menu.
Finally Andi who feels sorry for mom, feels responsible, takes care of your needs and cleans the house. Uncle and aunt aka his sisters mama play an important role why Andi had thought like that, because he had heard their conversation, how to take care of mama, how to take care of mama, my mother's children are still small and also have an unreasonable husband. They each have a husband or wife, it is impossible to take care of their sick sister (they have forgotten maybe when they were little mama who took care of them because the mother was the oldest child while the late grandmother had 10 children with a span of 1 year or 2 years age difference).
After the daily routine, Andi will go to the Hendra cafe in front of his home complex. Help keep the cashier there while upgrading the games there, enough to increase savings. Fortunately Andi is a smart child, even though he does not learn and repeat lessons, he remains the number One child at school.
