...Episode 5's...

I am still confused, Dini Brother approached me and said, “Nanti Hani know what Karate is, after learning and practicing it with brother. Now Hani change clothes. Wear the Karate shirt that you brought.” Dini's sister thrust the shirt.

Then Grandma asked me to change clothes. In my house there is a special room for sports, the room is large, usually the father exercises there. After wearing Karate clothes, Kak Dini began to explain one by one, Karate what.

“The clothes Hani is wearing now, Her name ...”

The one who doesn't know anything just nodded. My first day of learning Karate, brother Dini only explained all about Karate martial arts.

Then show off her beautiful moves. I was amazed and astonished at every move of Kak Dini who was beautiful and felt Kak Dini very strong.

"The clothes Hani uses are called gi. There are 3 basic techniques in Karate: Kihon, Kata, and Kumite. And of course there is a belt, this belt marks the level in Karate," Kak Dini took out all the belts.

He continued, "White belt, yellow, orange, green, blue, brown, and the highest level of black belt. Beginners at start with white belt.”  Dini looked at me with a smile.

“Oke us directly practice basic technique, kihon.” Kak early stood up and began to get ready to practice his movements.

I am still very lay about martial arts, just pay attention and remember every name of the movement in practice Kak Dini. I began to be interested in Karate, when Kak Dini with lemes and beautifully demonstrate the technique of punch.

I began to imitate his movements, Brother Dini just smiled and laughed. “Hani is impatient ya want to directly practice his movement?” ask Dini to me.

I nodded and continued to move following Dini's movements. “No papa deh Hani move as you please first, tomorrow real brother wrong movement, which is important for this first Hani happy, Hani happy, right?” he said while holding my cheek.

I was free-motion, Brother Dini watching me at the side just laughing. “Today we already have yes Hani, brother every Wednesday will come here to train Hani,” said Kak Dini.

I who was tired was told to take a long breath and then be told to take it out slowly and slowly.

Brother Dini and I came out of the sports room, Grandma in front was watching tv with her leisure. “It's done huh?” ask Grandma.

“Already Nek. First meeting with Hani. Next meeting we start to study more seriously, okay, Hani?” replied Kak Dini while thrusting her hand, tos with me.

“A great spirit nih grandson of his rich grandmother, but remember dong if it's great Karate do not to judge the cement.” Grandma Said.

I nodded and said inwardly, "Contaminate anyone, my friend, just Grandma." It doesn't feel like the day is getting dark.

“Assalamualaikum, dad home!” I heard Dad's voice just coming home from work.

As usual I ran towards Dad, carried and hugged him. “Where to practice Karate?  Exciting, right?” ask Dad.

“Seru Yah, Kak Dini great,” I wrote in the book.

I was so happy to hear that, my days were only accompanied by my grandmother. There was a waiter who took care of my food but admitted it was forbidden to hang out or play with him.

All I know is that Grandma can be accompanied. Now I have friends and protectors every time I go. That same night Dad bought me a car so I could go out with Dini's sister and grandma.

There was a gurgling of water from outside, the rain began to fall. I slept next to Dad. Before going to bed, Dad picked up a fairy tale book he hadn't finished telling.

“Hani want to listen to the fairy tale that yesterday has not finished father tell me ?” ask Dad to me. I nodded.

“Okay we start the story. Yesterday I told him I had an ant boy who lost his mother and was going to be eaten by a lizard. The cornered ant child can only cry and call his mother, mother. As he was shouting, the lizard got closer,"

Dad continued, "The son of an ant was silent for a moment and silenced his mouth, then hid behind a tree. The lizard, who was not difficult to find the ant child, began to walk and climb the tree trunk. Having not heard any trace of the road approaching, the ant boy peered forward, seeing no lizard in front of him. His crying had stopped and he felt relieved, he felt safe, "Stop and take a breath.

Father told me again, "The son of ants began to move his legs, just one step, arrived. The ant boy looked up and found that the lizard was on top of it just right, and ready to eat it," Father's eyes began to fade and did not stop yawning.

Father continued the story even though his eyes could not stand it anymore, "Pepper pulled out his Long tongue, ants could only dodge. Her crying broke again and called for her mother. When he could no longer do anything, the ant child closed his eyes and could only resign. The ant child closed his eyes, now he closed his eyes too and we tomorrow continue again.”

“I'm still curious about the continuation of the story Dad, continue!” write me in a book.

“Tomorrow again yes dear, now it's time to sleep” said father. I was irritated, looking sullen. “The death of the father's child sulking.” Dad mocked.

I began to close my eyes as well as well, the father who was tired from just coming home from work, immediately snoring and falling asleep. After hearing the fairy tale from my father, I remembered Erik, the boy in the orphanage.

I feel so sorry for him. Erik had no one left, and I felt grateful, even though I had no mother but I still had a father and grandmother who loved me very much. Tomorrow I want to go to the parlor and play there with Erik.

The next day before my father left for work, I asked permission with Dad, “Dad, I will be able to go to the orphanage that we visited at that time. With grandma and sister Dini?” ask me in my writing.

“Hani, the orphanage is quite far away,” replied Dad.

“No papa, it's the same grandma and Dini who can protect Hani,” said Grandma.

“You may, but remember. be careful, don't be naughty, don't go all the way from Grandma ya!”

I gave a thumbs up with Dad, a gesture that means “Oke”.

Shortly after breakfast, I went to work. While waiting for Dini's sister to get here, Grandma and I were ready. Bathe and prepare all the luggage that will be brought including the parcel for the orphanage.

After everything was settled, the sound of greetings and knocking on the door sounded. That's the sound of Dini's brother. Grandma opened the door and let Kak Dini in.

Kak Dini brought a large suitcase, all her clothes and equipment were taken home, then the grandmother delivered her to the room that had been prepared for her.
