The dawn time has come. We all wake up and pray together. Although I still keep the annoyance to both my parents and my brother still I will join the congregational prayer. Prayer is the pillar of religion. And the congregational prayer gives a great reward.
Finish praying. As usual, I helped my mother prepare breakfast. I also happen to have to go to college today. Kak Ali also has other business and Papa also has to go to the office to work, because Papa is an employee, so must be diligent to work in order to support us all.
My mother is a housewife. Mama actually has a business just a small business that sells fried donuts.
My mom is famous for her fried donuts
His fried doughnuts are famous for being very tasty, tender on the outside and soft on the inside. My mom used premium ingredients, not abal-abal ingredients. That's why people often queue up to buy it.
After we all had breakfast, I helped my mother to prepare the trading equipment before getting ready to go to college.
Papa and Kak Ali every day always go on a motorcycle together because they are in the direction of Kak Ali will bring a motorbike and piggyback papa.
I saw Kak Ali heating the motor. While heating my brother's motorbike it always wiped the motor to look clean and sleek.
Ali's sister is the one who takes care of what she has. He takes good care of his bike. He always takes her in serve once a month. His iron horse was very valuable to him even though his model was a bit outdated.
I'm actually proud of Brother Ali. I also love Kak Ali. However, sometimes I can not stand his ignorant nature and also his familiarity.
Once when I was in elementary school. My friend stopped by the house. Kak Ali's attitude is really SKSD or pretentious close. I felt like I was sprained once because he often teased my friends who stopped by the house and played with me at home.
Since then I have never brought a friend to my house.
I'm ready to go to college. My college is not far from home. So I only need to ride the angkot once.
Mama and Papa didn't let me bring my own vehicle. Even though at home there is one more motorcycle that is idle, but they say girls do not need to be able to carry a motorbike.
Both my parents were overprotective, and so were my brother and cousin. I was taught to ride a motorcycle. It's just that for me the bike is very heavy with my body being a little tiny.
I can ride a bike, too. It's just that my guts are so small. I dare not ride a motorcycle in the streets. My mind is always at the risk of driving. It's like getting hit and about to blister. Yes, all the bad things came to my mind when I got on the bike. And suddenly I got hit by a Tremor. My hands will shake, my legs will go limp and my mind will not focus.
"Tari go to college first mah." I say goodbye to my mother.
I grabbed her hand and kissed the back of her hand.
"Be careful on the road. Focus, the bag don't put it on the side. Always on the bench and hugged."
My mom was very attentive. She was very afraid actually that I had to go alone by public transport, but how else would the parents of women.so they would be afraid if the child why-not when riding a public vehicle. My parents did not allow me to bring my own vehicle.
Yes, I want to learn from all of this. I think this is all their attention to me. Maybe because I'm the only daughter they have. And also one of the granddaughters that almost all of my cousins are brothers.

I got to campus. Tami also arrived right at the same time as me. It's just my best friend was on a motorcycle. He usually likes to pick you up when he's staying at his grandmother's house. Grandma Tami's house is only a few alleys away from my house.
"Tam." Called him.
Tami who finished parking her bike came straight to me and we both got inside the campus building.
I'm an art major. Art lessons are my favorite. I like the arts of crafts.
Ask Tami to me. I thought for a moment.
"I think we should go with Doni. I haven't seen him in two days."
Because busy taking care of the matchmaking business. Me and Doni two days ago didn't communicate well. I didn't even reply to some of his messages.
"Just go to the bookstore."
Tami looked lethargic and disappointed.
"Udah don't pout that way. I'll go to the bookstore."
I embrace my best friend. And he immediately looked over with a face of sumringah.
"Seriously? How's Doni?"
Tami was not selfish. He thinks of me and Doni.
"Quiet ajah. 'We can meet at the bookstore. It's so complicated."
Me and Tami continued to step into the classroom. Today happened to be me and Tami there is one class class.
"Have you both done promotional work?" Oliv asked as Tami and I entered the classroom.
"Udah dong."
We answered simultaneously and we knew this friend must have forgotten to do college work.
"Help me dong."
Surely he the forgetful must have asked for help to complete his task.
Oliv was one of my best friends in college. He's a major with me. My friend was the son of one of the deans at the college. The son of the dean was not like his father who always remembered the slightest thing. Even Oliv's father on campus had the nickname 'Eagle's Eye'. He could always tell which students were cheating during the exam.
"Oliv, but yes. I did ingetin Lo' didn't I? Why not just do it right away?"
Tami seems annoyed with Oliv. He put down his bag and took out the file holder.
"More."
He handed the file holder to Oliv. Although he is upset, but he will still help his best friend.
We always help each other. Sometimes we don't understand why Oliv can be like that. I heard Tami reminded him. He should have remembered and worked on it.
I sat down next to Oliv. Oliv was flanked by me and Tami as well. Sometimes Tami and I have to shake their heads with Oliv's attitude.
Me, Tami and Oliv are close friends. However, I was more familiar with Tami. Maybe because we were both born in a family whose life was simple. Although Oliv. The dean's son and his mother were among the owners of my college.
