The Struggle of a Child
My Father's Activities
"Tomorrow in the morning if anyone wants to take a shower, say the same dad, yeah!" While folding the cloth.
"It's dad." I arranged my teaching equipment neatly in their respective places.
"Dad, dad, when do I teach?"My brother came to my father.
"Later on, son! You must be patient, yes!"
My sweet sister smiled and left.
"Come on! Come eat with dad!" My father put rice on each of our plates. Along with vegetables and side dishes.
"I don't use daddy's vegetables." Sitting near my father.
I stand with the plate in my hand. Waiting for my father's queue. My father this time is of noble heart. He wants to serve us. Especially for me. My father always told me to be independent. I said I shouldn't be spoiled. Moreover, telling because it was disrespectful and arrogant.
"It's your turn now!"Father said.
I also handed over my plate.
My father put what was in front of him on my plate. Rice with vegetables and side dishes. We sat next to my father and ate together.
After eating my father also arranged everything cleanly. I'm the one who drove the dirty dishes to his place. Clean up our eating containers.
"Son! If everything is clean you can go to sleep."
I nodded my head in response.
"Then I go to bed first, yes!" My father went into his room and slept.
I'm still sweeping it myself. Suddenly my sister!
"So come! We're sleeping." While pulling my hand.
"Just a second! Deck, you go to bed first go there!" Forward my sweep.
He went to sleep for a while, I still continued my sweep. Until finished. After everything was clean I saw. I also went into the room.

Morning time!
Teng teng!
The sound of a spoon in the kitchen reached my room.
Uaaahhhh! Wiggling raised both my hands up.
Early in the morning, pitted! Scratching my head.
Why was he so fast the next morning. I just slept again. My eyes are still sleepy, I'm lazy to go to school today. Tapiiii.
I took a towel and went to the well to take a bath. If we want to take a shower, we have to go to the well because we don't have a bathroom in the house. The well we used to take a shower. Only made of strong wooden walls so, also with the door.
My father first put our bath water in a bucket until it was full. Repeatedly. He did it for us.
"Liyan! Especially take a shower!"
"Bang!"
"What's wrong?" my dad was busy preparing breakfast.
"Where is my book ? Washed last night."
"Carik! Just there. Folded in the closet!" My dad's pacing back and forth cleaning the table.
"Nothing." Take your clothes out of the closet one by one.
My father was overwhelmed, he was silent!
"Okay, ouch! Son, it's been too long, quick! Clothes don't get it either." With a sad face.
"Son, don't you eat?"
"Well, I want to hurry!" Put on the sandals and go.
I who was still bathing heard their commotion.
My dad was angry with my mom. I'm panicking.
"Liyan !" Shouted my father from the kitchen.
"Yes, dad."
"Are you in school, son?"
"Yes, Dad's soon!"
"Otherwise, son! You'll be late. I'm going to work now!"
"Dad just go!" While wearing school clothes.
"Then Dad left. This is your pocket money, yes!" Put money on the table.
I was busy with myself in front of the mirror. Looking at my red and white clothes.
It's ready! Walk towards the shoe.
When passing. I saw**, and took it.
"So wait!" My brother shouted from behind calling me.
Instantly, my steps stopped while waiting for him.
"Sister, you want to go to school, okay?"with breathless breath.
"She, I want to hurry, what's the matter?"
"Nothing."
I am tired of hearing my sister. Nevermind! I want to hurry. He called, there's just!" With a grouchy face and a grumbling heart. Me too, kept walking all the way to my school.
Hayy! A voice from where. I kept walking looking for that voice. Butii! Yeah, maybe a freak! Seen by me behind a tree. A woman is sitting. And soon, me too!
Ahahaha!
I exhaled slowly. I see, hearing him surprises me.
I took a rough breath. Take her hand and go to class.

Slide in the classroom!
Meanwhile, my father who was busy making a living fighting with the heat of the weather.
My dad used to be in the heat. In the city, there are many vehicles there - here.But, my father never paid attention to it, the most important thing for him to get money.
Especially when it rains. When it rains I remember my father. She did, pity all her clothes must be soaking wet.
"Liyan! Let's gohome!".Widia who was busy carrying a bag invited me.
"What?" Wonderingly.
"Come home?" I said looking at him seriously.
"Why, why?" He also asked questions again. Shake his head a little.
I'm the one daydreaming about being dumb and making me confused." Wh why? I don't know. Oh, it was me daydreaming, Heem! With manyun.

In front of the house!
I opened a door that was not locked. Log in silently and see****.
Engga, who is it? He must have gone to play again.
"Liyan, are you home?" Walking towards the middle door looking ahead, however, I did not meet anyone.
Curious!
Walk in the kitchen!
Father turned. Huuh! I think someone else came in calling my name.
"Yes, Dad, that's it!" Saw my dad washing the dishes.
"Dad why? Hurry home?" Standing at the kitchen door with my bag, I still wear school uniform.
"She, I'm gonna do the laundry. Cooking, let's eat quickly. That's why I'm going home so soon.If you're too long later you'll be late to eat."
"Why did you wash your clothes? why don't you, Dad."
"Wash that shirt! Dad's job is not his. So, you can't burden others." My dad said while washing clothes.
I'm tired of seeing my dad. Go change my clothes and hang up my bag. I put everything together neatly. Not to be my father's duty anymore.
While walking! My dad washes clothes every day. He never felt tired. After finishing washing. He cooks, does the dishes later, sweeps the house. Seeing my father made me raise questions constantly in my heart.

Eat up!
It wasn't long before I went back from the room to the kitchen. I saw the food in the field.I who walked over saw my father was busy.
I immediately, undo my intention to approach my father. Suddenly, even my steps, stopped for a moment.
"Son! Go and call your sister, hurry! Let you eat together. I'm gonna wash again. Let's hurry, dad's done. Because I want to pray again."
My father also prepared all the food for us. All of this he served with love and affection. He made it for his children.Nothing felt heavy for him.All he went through willingly.
My father was alone. After my mom did it all. In fact, even my mother's time was like this.
Doing housework!
Not how long my own father. He is also married!
Seriate.....
