The Dimension of My Own
How to become an adult

Be the light on one blow. Be the dust of the stars during the day.

Be beautiful without touch. Be bright despite being tired of running.

 "(It has been a few days since Umi's death. It feels pretty quiet too. I want to get back to school, meet my friends, adventure, play and more. It seems like it will be able to take away my saturation. But Datuk barred me from going to school for a while. I don't know what he's thinking of me. Or maybe he told me to stay home so I could get used to my current situation. But I think it's the same.. School or not, the truth that clearly exists now is that Umi has gone to see Abi. I still don't understand how adults think. It feels like they want to become adults, so they can understand the purpose and purpose they say. I can only dream empty. Someplace.. In the future, what will I be like, huh?)”

Geck! Geck! Geck! (The door sounds are knocked.). There was a voice calling from behind the closed door.

"Jew.. Help Brother, can?” (Such a faint sounding voice.)

Then he got up from his bed.

"Can, Brother.” (As soon as you get back to the bed of the late Uminya.)

Then immediately go to the door, and open it.

"Well.. Kirain Brother, you are sleeping. Now help Sister cook.” (Speaking while leaving Budi in front of the room.)

Close the door slowly. The bed accompanied by the roar of curtains and dusts of light slowly but surely began to disappear from his sight. A sweet smile graced his face because the sincere smile he had seen before, would never disappear forever. Stay there and continue to exist.. Forever.

 “(Thank you very much, Umi. Thank you for living in this world. Thank you for giving me a beautiful smile. I'm so happy living with Umi.)”

 Budi: "Sister, wait! Brother Mina cook what?” (Budi ran small chasing Mina, his sister.)

Budi and Mina get ready to cook. They take out all the necessary materials and collect them in one container. They also talk to each other while doing their cooking activities.

Mina: "Should we cook gulai, what fried fish, Bud?”

Budi: "Follow it, Kak.”

Mina: "Yakinu.. Not cooking fried fish?”

Budi: "Let's not get bored, brother. Three days ago, fish was fried. If fish gulai, maybe about two weeks ago.”

Mina: "New three days, already bored?”

Came: "Yaa.. Bored, Brother. Because my activities only eat sleep eat sleep only. No other activities."

Mom: "Well, Bud.. Is it hard to open the door, keep coming out?”

Budi: "Yes too.. But right, Datuk told me. 'Budi.. Nous.. You better not go anywhere first. You're at home for a few days.' As he said, Brother." (Doubtfully imitating the words of his grandfather.)

Mina: "Ohh.. I mean, by the way, that means there's a purpose and a purpose, Bud."

Came: "Yes, Brother.. I thought so too. But, still confused what Datuk really meant. Maybe only adults know what the grandfather meant. Brother Mina is an adult, so if according to Kak Mina means Datuk how?”

Mina: "Yes know dong..”

Budi then showed his flexible expression. As if I wanted to know everything immediately.

Budi: "A.. What, Brother!? Tell me.!”

Mina acted like someone who was thinking.

Mina: "Hmmmmmmmm..” (As soon as you stick your index finger to the bottom of her lips and set your gaze to the ceiling.)

Budi: "What, Brother!? Brother, Mina!?"

Mina continued to make Budi become more curious. Hearing Budi who kept whining so, Mina began not to be able to hold herself back and finally she smiled.

Mina: "Maybe I told you to help Sister cook together to clean the house. Hahaha..” (Laughter.).

Budi: "Well, it's the duty of Brother, if I'm the duty of school, it's playing.”

Mina: "Huuuu. Later get used to adulthood, new regrets.”

Budi: "No, I will become a successful person later. I want to grow up quickly."

Mina: "Do you know how to be an adult?”

Budi: "No.. Brother knows how to let me grow up fast?”

Mina: "Know dong.. My sister is an adult.”

Budi: "Where to do, Kak?”

Mina: "You must circumcise first. Newly.. It could be an adult."

Budi: "What is the circumcision, Brother?”

Mina: "The circumcision.. Your bird was cut first. After that, you can grow up."

They just stare in a state of confusion. Mina who saw Budi just fell silent in confusion, then took out a fish and placed it in precision.

Mina: "Sunat is like this, Bud.. Consider this your bird, yes.” (Sembari directs Budi's gaze to the fish.)

Aaka!!! With the blink of an eye, a butcher knife suddenly struck the fish very hard and split it in half. And at once, Budi reflexively clasped his feet. He was shocked with eyes glaring while swallowing saliva. Mina held back a laugh at that and smiled broadly at Budi's behavior.

Mina: "Where, Bud?” (Smiling with keen eyes to Budi.)

Budi: "Hmm hmm.. It's best to be his adult sometime, Kak.” (Budi immediately smiled with a feeling of anxiety.)

Mina: "Hahahaha..” (Mina laughs out loud.)

Geck.. Geck.. Geck.. (Sound knocking door.)

It turns out that the one who came was Datuk. He also called Budi.

Grandpa: "Budi..! Budi..!”

Budi: "Yes, Grandpa." (As he left his seat and hurried to the front door.)

Grandfather: "Help bring this. Love your brother." (By pointing at a sack located in front of the door.)

Budi immediately carried the sack. And immediately take her to the kitchen which is just next to the living room. Mina also immediately left her job and approached her father.

Mina: "Dad.. Already home? What did you bring?” (But shone his father's hand.)

Grandfather: "You are so ignorant to your sister. Hahaha.” (Laughter at the sight of a fish that has been split in two.)

Mina also followed by laughing giggling because of it.

Mina: "Haha.. After Dad, Budinya asked a strange question only.”

Date: "Budi.. Don't trust your brother easily. You should be skeptical first.”

Curiosity immediately appeared. For the first time he heard these words.

Budi: "What are the skeptics, Datuk?” (With a beaming innocent face.)

Mina immediately cut off the conversation

Mina: "Skeptics mean cut." (Switchy smile by showing the palms clapped by splitting.)

Seeing that, Budi returned with reflexes to flank his legs again. The grandfather who saw that instantly became laughing out loud.

Date: "Hahaha.. It's not like that, Bud. Don't trust your brother. Hahaha.” (Laughs non-stop.)

Seeing the behavior of Datuk and Mina seemed to give him a suggestion. Making Budi become began to have a hunch that in the near future his bird will be cut in a sadistic way as illustrated by his brother earlier.

Cute: "Cough.. Be bored at home. Can you go play?”

Datuk: "Well, good dong if you are bored. Go play, but don't go home tonight ya.”

With a relieved expression, Budi then headed for the front door while rubbing his slightly damp hands into his clothes.

Budi: "Catuk, Budi go first.” (In a hurry to install the joints.)

Mina immediately replied that Budi was getting ready to leave the house.

Mom: "Ehh, Budi.. Be it! Wait!”

Budi: "What, Brother?”

Mina: "What the hell are you. Brother is left behind? He said he wanted to quickly become an adult.” (In a satirical tone.).

Budi: "No way! I just want to play!” (Start taking a swing.)

Mother: "Ehh.. Wait, whoa.. All of you.”

Budi then quietly waited while watching his brother walk towards the room. And soon after, he came out to Budi who had been waiting. Mina thrust a bag of plastic containing cloths to Budi.

 Mina: "Before going to play, deliver this first to Inyang.”

Budi: "Yes, Brother." (Take the bag from Mina.)

Mina: "Quick inter, don't get dirty, yeah.. If it's dirty again, cut it." (Display the palms of his hands that are patted in a split way.)

Seeing that, Budi again and again reflect in the same way. Mina just laughed giggling about it. Then immediately leave the house. He immediately darted down the rural streets to blow away the dust.

Budi: "Well, outside it feels very fresh." (Taking a deep breath and releasing it with a feeling of relief.)

Inside the house, Datuk and Mina begin to discuss the things that just happened.

Datuk: "You are nosy at all your own sister.”

Mina: "Well, Dad.. While still innocent, hahaha.”.

Datuk: "Yes too yes, hahaha.” (Ikut laughs and agrees with his son.)

Mina: "Look at yourself, right? How was his expression? Hahaha..” (Laughs so much.)

They laugh together to their satisfaction.

The earth is shaking violently. The rocky storm immediately hit. A bunch of black dots ran for cover. With all the struggle left, they just kept cheering on the herd to stay alive.

 Mina: "Dad, Mina can ask you something?”

Grandpa: "Yes.. What?”

Mina: "Si Budi kok told at home continue, huh? Mina is confused.”

Grandpa: "Well.. You went to college, right? Must be familiar with the term Out of The Box, dong?”

Mother: "Huuu, Father.. All-English speaking.” (Minded.)

Datuk: "Oh, yes dong. Even though it's rusted like this, Dad was sent to Inyang to serve abroad, you know. That greedy bule-bule opponent.” (Try to convince Mina.)

Mina: "Well, I'm starting to crunch again. Haha." (Laughter quipped.)

The aroma of cooking began to fill the entire house. Makes the atmosphere more relaxed and comfortable.

Mina: "So, What's Out of The Box, Dad?” (As he slowly stirred the cooking he was making.)

Grandfather: "You remember your late mother, right? I still remember clearly your condition at that time.” (When looking far ahead, towards the window in the living room which is located just next to the kitchen.)

Mina could only be silent and kept busy stirring her cooking.

Grandfather: "Dad sent you to the city.. I'm trying to keep you away from home. Until finally you are saturated there and then back here again.”

Mina: "Yes, Dad." (Justifying his father's words)

Datuk: "But the case is different with the Budi. You know for yourself how strong your sister is? That's why I kept him at home until he was really bored. So that his mind so not constantly stuck with Uminya while outside.”

Mina: "If Dad, how?” (That is to say with a little bit of anxiety.)

Grandparent: "Hoho.. Strong dong. I'm a soldier." (Posing by demonstrating both arm muscles.)

Mina: "Haha.. Skinny dry so camerooned. Hahaha..” (Laughs at his father's behavior.)

Welcome back to the black world. Welcome back to the blue world. Welcome back to the orange world.

See you back in the dark world. See you back to the sad world. See you back to a miserable world.

Budi climbed the stairs of the land dry by the scorching sun while supporting a bag of plastic containing cloths on his head.

Budi: "Home.. Budi told Kak Mina deliver this.” (Then approaching Inyang who was sitting under a grove of a tree resting on a stick.)

Inyang: "Thank you, Buyung.. Come here, Sit here.” (Pumping the long bamboo chair he was sitting on.)

He sat down and gave the order that was placed on him.

Budi: "Have you eaten?” (Belbasics.)

Inyang: "In a moment, this is cooking rice." (As he set his eyes on the bonfire next to his cottage.)

Budi: "Kok does not use electric children only, Inyang?”

He just smiled with the words of Budi.

Inyang: "Nature always gives its own taste." (Showing a little smile to Budi.)

Hearing that, Budi became amazed.

Budi: "Gee..”

Inyang: "You must not have eaten. Eat with the linders. Inyang has special cuisine.”

Came: "Mauuu..! Let Budi raise his rice.” (Very excited.)

Inyang: "Can.. We'll just eat here. Thisang take the ingredients first in.” (As he moved from his seat.)

Tread: "Yes.” (Budi also went up from his seat and rushed to the fireplace.)

The plates and spoons have been neatly arranged. The cooked rice is still pumping hot steam. Just wait for the special dishes that are intended. A moment later Inyang came with a box and opened it and took two bottles to put near them. He then put the rice on the plate. After that, he opened a bottle containing white powder and sprinkled it on the rice. Then open another bottle in the form of liquid and then also sprinkle it like sprinkling soy sauce. Budi just gawked at the thing that Inyang had just done.

Budi: "Well, Inyang.. Where is the special? Just sprinkled salt with oil only.” (So disappointed.)

This is the smile she makes. His teeth are visible.

Inyang: "You try first, new story.” (When you still hold back your smile.)

Budi also followed the ways he had seen just now. With a feeling that began to hesitate, he also strengthened himself to put a spoonful of oily rice into his mouth. With hesitation, he began to chew the food. Until finally he was silent.

Inyang: "How? Try the story." (With the same smile.)

Budi: "Hmmm hmm.. Delicious." (With happy expression.)

Inyang: "That's how we are, Buyung. In living this life, we too often rely only on the senses and the sense to determine a value. But often forget the true value of the taste experience itself.”

Budi again looked amazed at the words of Inyang. Although between understanding and not understanding.

City: "Nah.. Let's eat, before the rice is cold.”

Budi: "Yes, This is." (Eat with food.)

They ended their meal after there was no more rice left.

Budi: "Today I've eaten this much. Usually just eat a little.” (When rubbing his stomach.)

Inner: "That's because you eat with a different atmosphere.”

Budi: "Yes, Inyang.. here adem, while looking at the scenery as well.”.

The breeze roared, the trees danced, the grasses cried, the birds sang.

Budi: "Come, Can I ask you something?”

My name: "Please."

Budi: "So Datuk said skeptical words, Budi got confused.. What are the skeptics, Inyang?”

Inyang: "Doubt something.. Just like you said.”

Budi: "Which one, Inyang?”

Inyang: "Inyang time sprinkled salt with oil earlier.”.

Came: "Oohh.. If circumcision does not hurt, Inyang?”

Hearing that, Inyang was silent for a moment and then tried to give direction to Budi.

Love: "If you're scared of things you haven't felt for yourself, skepticism can take some of your fears away. Then if you start learning it, then you will eliminate some of your fears. Then if you start believing in it, then you will eliminate some of your fears. Then if you start to dare, then you will eliminate some of your fears. Then if you are Opponent, it means there is nothing else you need to fear.”

Budi: "Well, it's complicated, too, Inyang..?"

This: "Well, you're afraid of your sister when she helps you cook in the kitchen. You were scared when your sister cut the fish.”

Budi: "Well, how can anyone know?”

Inyang only smiled by pointing towards Budi's clothes.

Budi: "Gee.. Yes yes too. Fishy smell, hahaha.” (Laughter after smelling the scent of her own clothes)

Budi suddenly stopped his laughter and tried to offer something.

Budi: "Inga, Budi also has a special recipe. Let's match, whose recipe is better.”

Inyang: "You want to use fish cooking oil?” (Slightly smiling.)

It is clear from the expression of Budi's face that gawked in shock so as to attempt to complain about the statement of Inyang.

Budi: "Well, Inyang.. Nothing was immediately guessed. No exclamation, ah.” (See pouting.)

Inyang: "Don't get it wrong.. Actually, it's a good opportunity for you. Because the fried fish oil has been found, you can replace it with something that You do not know. Fried chicken oil, For example.” (When you smile.)

Budi: "Well, the fried chicken oil was discovered as well.” (With a pouting expression and feeling a little annoyed.)

Inyang: "If fried chicken oil has also been found, you can still replace it again. For instance... …”

Budi then cut the words of Inyang with his paste

Came: "Iyaaaa.. Fried onions, right?”

He could only smile so his teeth looked back.

Budi: "Come, I want to go play first.” (Stand up from his seat.)

Inyang: "Yes.. See you later in the afternoon.” (Still with the same smile.)

Budi: "Gee.. Sure, I'll be here again this afternoon?” (Start feeling hesitant and a little curious.)

Inyang: "Haqqul Yaqin."

Budi: "Think, it should be tomorrow afternoon back here again.”

Inyang: "Yes.. Tomorrow Inyang also wait for his special recipe.”

Budi: "Then, say goodbye, Inyang. See you tomorrow.” (Step away slowly.)

They parted ways with each other smiling.
