Swastika Naladhipa
Dandelions

Exactly at 3 o'clock, the sun emits rays so hot. The originally fresh, glowing clump now began to wither and flow following the direction of the wind that hit and not a single cloud in the sky. Tika who was engrossed in playing chases with lambs was getting tired. The grassland that was originally covered with dew was gone and the sheep began to lay their bodies under the direct sun.

"Haaah huuh haah," Tika sighed thirstily walking towards the grandmother who was shaded by a shade tree while knitting.

"It's really hot, Grandma. The feeling was not as hot as this, where Tika was also engrossed in playing with her sheep," exclaimed Tika.

''Don't run around said Grandma earlier, but Tika gamau denger. So thirsty right, '' continued grandmother while continuing to knit the scarf.

''But exclaim really, Nek. hehehe, '' joked Tika.

He seemed so busy looking for something to walk around and then flickering a roll of small mats spread out.

''Grandma saw Tika's drinking bottle ga?,'' a confused face plastered clearly on her face.

''Try looking in Grandma's bag. Kan Tika who entered earlier," grandma continued her knitting.

Tika rubbed the contents of the entire bag and sure enough, found a pink drinking bottle decorated with pictures of his favorite cartoon characters. But unfortunately the water is not fresh like this morning but feels a little warm when it reaches his throat.When drinking he focused on a pinch of dandelion flowers are almost in bloom. Not yet finished gulping, Tika rushed after the flower that was swerving by the wind.

''Wow, just blooming again. Take it home ahh," said Tika, breaking some dandelion stalks and tying her with rubber taken from her pants pocket.

''...so tomorrow I can see how it blooms.." he continued.

Come to think of it at home grandma is also there, is it possible because the larger size of the flowers make Tika take her home and maybe because the new grandmother's house flowers.

''When you do, help Grandma eat sheep yes, we clean up home" said Grandma.

Arriving at the house Tika rushed in and ran to the kitchen to find a container to tie the flowers he brought home. Suddenly, Grandma called him.

''If so, can you help Grandma?" the sound came from outside.

"Yeah, hang on, Grandma," Tika put her flowers on the kitchen counter just like that.

"What help, Grandma?" tanya Tika approached grandma.

''Please help Grandma take corn to eat chicken behind the house, take a sack that is almost finished yes," said the grandmother while putting the chicks into the cage.

...----------------...

Even the night came with its silence. At exactly nine o'clock Tika was already in her room after finishing dinner two hours ago with her grandmother. This time he ventured to sleep in his room alone because of his curiosity.

''Hmm wait, detective Tika will act," he smiled sinisterly as he sat daydreaming as if to become a famous detective.

''...eh which flower was it?...," tika turned to look at the window that was closed tightly.

Maybe because grandma called him earlier she forgot to tidy the flowers she brought. As she remembered, the flowers were already in this room. Maybe it was just his shadow.

Without a second thought, he forgot his detective's imagination and rushed to Grandma's room. As she remembered, grandma cooked dinner so maybe grandma put it. Tika still did not dare to go back directly, so she asked grandma first.
