On the second Sunday of the holiday, people busy themselves to prepare for the new year which will be celebrated tomorrow night.
Most of those who have families prefer to celebrate the new year at home, such as burning a variety of good foods, ranging from seafood, corn, or sausages.
People in overseas usually celebrate with lovers, friends, or even not celebrate at all.
The new year will not be fully welcomed, according to some people it is just an ordinary day.
Seen a man sitting on the balcony while inhaling cigarette smoke, his eyes staring down the street below enjoying the beauty of the night.
Several times the man let out a long sigh, somehow thought but it was clear how the look on his face that seemed to say 'I'm not okay'.
The ringing tone of the phone broke the silence that night, she went from her seat to the room picking up her cell phone.
"Papa?" he muttered staring at the name on the phone screen.
Soon the man shifted the green-colored icon. "Hello"
"Where?." said the middle-aged man over the phone.
"At home, why?" replied the man.
"What's wrong, papa just want to say if this new year can't nemenin you. Brusan hospital nelfon papa if anyone wants heart surgery, so papa told there because the doctor who handles in the hospital can not come. You celebrate the new year with your friends, then you send more money. That's how it used to be, papa has to leave now. Hunting late ntar."
"So my mom where's pa? Does Atha really make her own living here? When does gini keep pa? Atha.." His speech was cut because the man was unable to continue.
Atha's parents' jobs are doctor, his papa handles heart surgery, and his mother as surgeon.
Counting how many parents always say they cannot celebrate birthdays or new years together, is the health of others so important to them? Of course it's important, Atha knows that.
He only hopes once to celebrate a special day together, maybe his physical well but not necessarily his mental calm face of solitude without anyone.
It wasn't his wish to troublemaker like in his old school, it was just that he wanted a little attention.
But unfortunately, instead he must be transferred to a school that he does not want.
Perhaps it has been her destiny, Atha continues to convince herself that everything is fine, let the day pass following her plot.
Papa Atha chose silence but did not turn off the phone. "Mama wants to get papa out of town, so while you're alone first. Are you still afraid of being like a child? Later if papa's business with mama here is finished, we have a vacation together." said the middle-aged man later.
"Udah first yes, take good care of yourself." continued her turn off the phone.
Again and again the man breathed a rough breath, lamenting his life that did not match expectations.
"Yes anyway, if you want how else?" he muttered trying to smile on that quiet night.

The sun shone brightly through the window of a girl sleeping, enjoying her day off.
Tok to tok.
"Saf, get up first." call the mother who is knocking on the door repeatedly.
After a long wait, the door opened to see Safira who had just woken up with random hair.
"Em." he replied while nodding like a drunk.
"Breakfast first, girls can't get up in the afternoon. Moreover, it is already big, later if married how?." cerca the mother who was only influenced by Safira.
"Em, Fira takes a shower first." Safira replied as she closed the door.
"God.... The child.." Sapphira's mother could only shake her head to look at the child's behavior as a child.

After the bath, Safira immediately went down to the dining room.
The girl smiled awkwardly looking at her family who had been waiting since earlier, especially in addition to the cynical look of the mother made her unwell.
"I'm sorry, it's been shampooing for a while" Safira said walking to the seat.
"It's not 'somewhat' but it's a long time" said Safira's 9-year-old sister.
Safira chose silence without replying to his sister's insinuations, he understood it because he was the wrong one.
"Yes have eaten first, the gelud later on." said the mother mediated.
They all ate quietly, the sound of forks and spoons cluttering in the room.
"There's no hell, why?."
"Father same mother plan to go to grandma's house later in the afternoon, you come?."
For a moment Safira fell silent. "I guess Fira didn't come first well, I'm here a gapapa. Later tipped by aja if you go home, oh yes greetings to the grandmother of Fira." said Safira who seemed to plan something.
"How's naufal? Want to be here too brother Fira, or want to come?." this time not his father who asked, but his mother.
"I'm coming," said Naufal, he felt excited when he wanted to go to the village because there he would meet many cousins who were his age.
"Are you all alone here, Saf?" ask mother.
"Udah gapapa, mother don't worry." replied Safira as she sipped her drink.
"You want to hang out with your friends, don't be weird. Now that there's a lot of promiscuity, that woman's crown is in her pride."
"Yes ma'am." sahut Safira brief.

The afternoon after his parents' departure, Safira was relaxing on the sofa in the TV room.
He was thinking about the new year celebration. "What happened to Nita?" her mumbling sok ngide.
After a long time of thinking, he chose to try first, who knows? He thought though it was prejudiced that Nita would reject his invitation.
"Hello, Ta." said hello to connect the phone.
"Because Fir? Tumben called?"
"Em, so gini..... Do you want to go, if I invite you? Plis wants to?? Just this once,"
"Where are you? Her mother?"
"Say first, I'll tell you."
"Well, what is it? You just haven't told me yet, arrived at tell agree." elak Nita who is actually also curious about the invitation of Sapphira.
"Lo want to celebrate the new year where?" asked Safira to buy time so as not to run out of topics.
"Where in the house is it."
"Who's the same?." asked again, to make sure that his plan this time worked.
"Self, mamah has not returned home there is a job because of it" said Nita.
"Why do we celebrate the new year together? Pas exciting right.... Plis this time do not refuse me," he said begging.
"Em how ya... I'm not in the mood to go out Fir."
"No, I guessed it." Safira replied disappointedly.
"Or gini, what are you going to my house? You want to be here a long time ago, so let me know. But you took a taxi? I'll change the money."
"Eh really? What kind of a relationship are you? Tumben really."
"Yes, I don't want to."
"Eh want dong... Who doesn't want to" Safira replied with joy.
"Liat the chat, I share the location there. Later if you've been to my phone, let me pick you up so you don't stray."
"Ok ok, can I please ga? I can bring a change of clothes."
"Come, stick alone here."
"Ok, otw." said Safira closing the phone call.
Safira smiled triumphantly, she would not let Nita in loneliness on this occasion.
