Great Youth Like Gods
Introduction of Family members
The day is not yet fully present is still on its way. But the morning was gone from the sun that day.
The 15-year-old, dressed in a white ash uniform, was sitting on a school bench with 40 other students waiting for a call from her teacher.
"Muhammad Pratama Cloud." A female teacher called out her name to immediately advance to the front of the class.
Applause and cheers from other students and students rumbled in the third-grade room of Junior High School in the small town of Cianjur, West Java.
After the summoned youth arrived in front of Master's desk. Then the teacher handed him a rapper and said to his students.
"Happy Son you graduated and ranked number three among the other 40 students." A 40-year-old woman wearing a white headscarf handed a red report to students who were called to the front of the class.
"Thank You, Teacher, for guidance and upbringing from Mother Teacher and other teachers. I won't be able to reach this rank." Awan answered while receiving a report book and kissing the teacher's hand.

Adzan duhur reverberated in Babakan village Kertayasa Cianjur Village. A young man walked hurriedly towards a house not far from the sound of the Adhan in the Jami Al Ikhlas Mosque. Not long later the young man named Muhammad Awan Pratama arrived at the shabby cubug house in front of the yard looking junk goods belonging to his first brother neatly stored.
"Assalamualaik."
A young man wearing a school uniform entered the courtyard so narrow that several junkyard sacks were stored right in front of the rundown house
"WaallAikum Salam." The answer from a 22-year-old man named Ujang Mulyadi while smiling sweetly.
The young man immediately entered the house while shouting by calling his mother who might be in the middle room.
"Mother....." Mother....." Mother....." Call the 15-year-old to call her real mother.
Muhammad Awan Pratama is the third of five children married couple named Hilman and Lisnawati. Mother's first child was a boy named Ujang Mulyadi. Neighbors call it Ujang or Ujang kang. Kang Ujang is currently 22 years old and married living next to Mother's house. He contracted the house with his wife after three months of marriage.
Kang Ujang daily likes to find junk in the village next door. Sometimes the neighbors tell to clean the garden or other important shavings to get wages in a halal way.
Ujang Mulyadi Household with his wife Dena Rachman has stepped on three years and in the bounty of one daughter who was only one year and a half. While his wife Kang Ujang usually likes to join Mother. Follow penggak penggak or wrap in a tik tuk factory not far from Mother's House. The birthplace of his GREAT YOUTH LIKE A GOD.

The third son who was born from the womb of a woman who was full of patience lived a life that was lacking in possessions. Muhammad Awan Pratama or ordinary people call his Cloud. The child is different names from his sister and brother and was born on the night of one suro.
Mythologically. The Night of One Suro is the Lebarannya of Magical Creatures. This story is often heard in our ears, some people in the past believed that the night of 1 suro was a leaflet for supernatural beings so that many of them came out of their respective places of residence.
Strangely this myth is often associated with the appearance and disturbance of subtle creatures in the night.
I don't know where the beginning of this myth emerged which is clear that the myth is still widely believed.
There are even some people who think that in the month of Suro there are so many bad luck and disasters that will befall mankind.
Muhammad Awan Pratama's. Grandpa Mommy gave the name to the young man who is now 15 years old.
Grandfatherbiscuts. Mother used to say to Mother. Lisnawati This boy will lift you from the mud puddle. And bring your family fragrant when the storm is crashing." His word but I don't know until now the family life is still lacking especially in the added frame of a father married again. Mother increasingly likes to daydream and be alone.
Everyday young man named Awan school and when off he went to the market to become a pelvic porters or even sell plastic bags from first grade Elementary to now 9th grade and graduated Junior High School.
The fourth child who is waiting for the same Mother and Father because of her gender is a happier girl by twin pregnant mothers. But God willed another after the delivery of twins normally. Alhamdulillah first born her baby girl named Rina Puspita sari and whose sister sex baby boy named Riki. But only lasted 7 days that the man has returned again the same creator.

My kid. What is the noise of screaming? how noisy your mother and sister to be shocked." Lisnawati complained after seeing her son at the entrance.
The young man simply smiled and walked over to the middle-aged woman sitting with her two younger siblings watching television.
"Yes..... This brother Awan is not his say hello. Even yell at." The little 9-year-old girl.
With a sweet smile while sitting cross-legged next to Mother and her two younger siblings. The clouds immediately kissed the hand of the woman who had given birth to him and rubbed the hair of his two sisters.
"What's up, son?" Mother asked after the young man sat to his left.
"Alhamdulillah, Cloud passed. And can rank in the top three." I said as I handed the report book to her mother.
Lisnawati received the report of her son with a happy heart and opened it and read it slowly so that her tears did not feel free.
"Alhamdulillah waa shukulilah.." Lirih Lisnawati then closed the report book while looking at Cloud's face and stroking her.
Lina saw it the same thing as mother. And said. "Alhamdulillah" Kak Awan wants to continue school to High School or not.?" Her sister asked innocently.
"God willing." Reply Clouds briefly while staring at the face of his mother who looked sad at the view by the Clouds.
