Rachel And Malvin
Self-sufficient

Arriving home, Rachel immediately gave money from the cake that Silvia's aunt bought to aunt Nindi, then she went straight into the bathroom to take ablution water.

Now the clock has shown at 16:00 Rachel hastened quickly to perform the ashar prayer before the ashar time has run out.

After the Ashar prayer, she helped her aunt in the kitchen cook for them to dinner after the Maghrib prayer.

Rachel not only helps in the kitchen, she also helps sweep the house, water the plants and also sweep the front yard of the house.

After she finished doing the housework, Rachel chose to clean her body, take a bath.

After taking a shower, Rachel watched television while waiting for the Maghrib Adhan to arrive, Rachel did not have a mobile phone that she could play, let alone buy a mobile phone, to eat was very difficult.

Rachel's activities are like that every day, helping her aunt, completing schoolwork, studying, and sometimes if there is free time, she watches television as her entertainment.

"Tante don't get tired, rest first don't be too imposed for his cake" Rachel felt sorry to see her aunt who was still working hard to make cakes for her to sell tomorrow at her store.

Aunt Nindi is struggling very hard, she works hard to support Rachel, banging to pay for school and Rachel's life, even though Rachel entered a favorite school using a scholarship.

But there is still something to pay for school, he also has to give pocket money for Rachel every day, although it wasn't too much but it was enough for Rachel who understood the difficulty of making money.

Aunt Nindi replied to Rachel with a small nod and still continued to make the cake.

Rachel intends to help her aunt but she will help auntie nindi after she finishes studying.

...****...

The Maghrib Adhan has arrived, Rachel and Aunt Nindi carry out their duties as Muslims, they pray Maghrib congregation.

After finishing the maghrib prayer, Rachel and Aunt Nindi started their dinner with a simple meal, tempeh with sambal only but they were very grateful for the favor.

20 Minutes later, dinner was over, Rachel helped wash the dirty dishes, after which she studied for tomorrow's subjects.

He studied very seriously and focused, because of his love of being a successful person, he must be a smart and smart child in speaking, he said, she wants to be a famous designer like Aunt Silvia.

Until 1 and a half hours later, Rachel had finished studying, she approached her aunt who was still busy with her work in the kitchen.

Without a second thought, Rachel also helped make the cake, from 5th grade Rachel Elementary School has been guided to make cakes by her aunt, who, until now Rachel in 11th grade High School she has been adept at making her own cakes without the help of her aunt.

Even the cake he made tasted exactly like his aunt's cake, it tasted just as good making the person who bought it addicted.

Aunt Nindi did not forbid Rachel to help him, she let Rachel help him as much as she could, if she was tired then she would stop by herself.

'Rachel promised aunty, if one day Rachel becomes a successful person, Rachel will obey all aunt requests, Rachel will make aunty happy and will not be tired aunt tired of working like this, quite a working Rachel and aunty who enjoyed the results' Rachel promised herself, she wanted to return the favor of all the hard work of her aunt all along who had lived her lovingly.

As long as Rachel helped her aunt, no resentment even though she was in her heart, she was cheerful and sincerely helped complete all the housework with a feeling of carelessness and coercion.

Rachel was an independent child since she was a child even before her parents died she was independent.

The clock has shown at 21:30 all cakes have been made, they immediately perform congregational prayer first.

After the prayer, Aunt Nindi who was very tired, she slept first in her room, while Rachel who was still not sleepy, a lot of mind burden that was in her head at this time, he was still daydreaming himself in the guest room while staring out the window.

I don't know what he's thinking right now, to make him drift into daydreams.

Now it was 11:00 but suddenly Rachel's stomach felt very hungry, she went to the kitchen to see rice and side dishes but it turned out that everything was empty had been eaten earlier.

Because he could not bear the hunger of his stomach, he took some of the pocket money he set aside, then came out of the house looking for a stall that was still open.

"Hopefully there is still an open one" he muttered cheerfully walking alone in the darkness of the night but there was still some light from the street lamp complex.

He headed to the nearest stall from his house, there are several stalls there that have been closed, for some reason today the stall closed quickly, usually the stall closed at 12 o'clock.

Rachel resigned, she walked back to her home, but suddenly the sound of a motorcycle bell surprised her, making her reflex look back.

'Rachel's inner 'Rafa' when she sees someone riding the bike.

He smiled and found the prince he loved in front of him. Rafa got off the bike and chatted for a while with Rachel.

"Why is malem outside? Malem wind is not good for health" asked Rafa who was so attentive.

Rachel nodded broken.

"What time does tumben come out of the malem house?" ask again.

"Ta-tadi run out of food, it turns out the stalls closed all my yaudah back again" replied Rachel.

"Oh that way, I was also looking for food, the stall was also closed all around here"

"Ehmm how if you come with me just look for a stall that is not too far from here who knows who is open" asked Rafa.

His eyes twinkled, his feeling was very happy when Rafa invited him, but he was confused whether to come along or not.

Rachel still hasn't asked her aunt for permission, leaving the house without her permission scares her of worrying about her.

But the opportunity did not come 2 times, Rachel also accepted Rafa's invitation, but she chose to return to lock her house first.

After locking his house, he climbed on top of Rafa's motorcycle seat, and they began to walk through the city at night looking for a stall that was still open at night.

Rafa and Rachel's house is close, no wonder if they arrive to meet, it only takes 5 minutes for Rachel to come to Rafa's house and vice versa, their house is just a different alley.
