WHAT ABOUT ME?
26

Not wanting to be too late in the uncertain, I decided to finish my work that was delayed.

the time has shown at four in the afternoon, after finishing cutting the cloth, I asked my mother's permission to clean and take a shower.

my sister Jefri, after waking up, asked for permission to play to Tio's house because the bath time was still long.

"so mom bought chicken meat, already fried mother half-cooked, you fry again so warm and cooked brother" I who was heating the vegetable soup immediately received a plastic box containing chicken meat that has been seasoned.

"indeed the money is quite bu, next time it does not need to be luxurious like this mom, just fried tempe or just know it is enough"

for me the fried chicken menu is a luxurious menu that we rarely cook, ten thousand and five is already quite expensive just for a quarter of a kilo of chicken meat, it is better to buy one plank of tempe for three thousand can be for breakfast to dinner.

"no matter what brother, once cooked chicken meat, pity your sister also if every day should eat the same side dish tofu tempeh only"

not protesting, I immediately heated the oil and then started frying the chicken, not to forget I also made raw onion sauce for our dinner friends later tonight.

vegetable soup, fried chicken and onion sauce have now been presented neatly on the dining table, the mother who was saying goodbye to call Jefri was home.

"shower first sister. "reprove mom when I was laying down my buh on a weathered mattress in the middle room.

"well, ma'am, Jasmin wants to straighten his back first." I said while continuing to laze on the bed.

mom just shook her head slowly then left me towards her sewing room.

next morning

morning blind mom had come home from shopping at the vegetable maker, I saw in the crackle there are several kinds of vegetables and also there is a quarter kilo chicken meat.

though yesterday I have said not to buy chicken meat because it is expensive, why today I buy chicken meat again.

"mom, why are you buying chicken again? " ask me while taking out my groceries.

"now, I told you that I want to give you the same provisions, son Yuda, do not say that you forget, mother also does not feel good if you want to give her side dishes to know the same tempe, just, so mom bought chicken for the side dish"

I almost protested but hearing an explanation from my mother, I abandoned my intention to protest.

after I finished helping my mother prepare my breakfast and supplies, I immediately grabbed my towel to take a shower.

the cold water in the morning makes me shiver, especially last night was also up to midnight which makes the water temperature becomes cooler usually.

coming out of the bathroom I approached the mother who was still sitting in the dining chair, planning to make warm tea so as not to get too cold.

"mother sop as well yes, even know the contents of Jasmin's mind" I said as I approached and sat in an empty chair in front of mother.

"it's a habit if it rains, you keep taking a morning shower, you must be cold, so I make warm tea"

I sipped a warm tea plan that was still puffing the smoke, ah warm.

"thank you ma'am, it feels good that mom made it"

I went to school on foot as usual.not to forget the two boxes of my supplies in the paper bag, for me and for Yuda.

arriving at school, the situation is still a little quiet because today I deliberately set off early in the morning to be able to give provisions from mother to Judah.

I walked down the hall until I arrived in front of Yuda's class, although it was quiet, apparently the class had many students present.

I circulated my view looking for the whereabouts of Yuda, apparently he was not in the classroom and still in front of the computer room.

I walked over to her who happened to be alone, "Yud." call me closer to her.

"hey Jas, tumben oagi morning already nyamperin, what's up? "

I take out a box of food supplies and then I give it to Yuda "this is my mother made you provisions, received yes, said mother as a thank you" I said and then put that stuff on his hand.

"eh why, I sincerely nolongin you, so no need to bother like this! " he refused, but I immediately prevented him.

"stop! do not be rejected again yes, mother is also sincere to give to you her, do not forget to eat yes! " my exclaim then hurried to leave Judah who was about to protest.

when I got to class, I started to feel bored, I took out my drinking bottle and I gulped it down to almost half.

"weehh, why Jas, tumben to school ngosan so? " ask Naila who was watching me.

"uh, no really, just afraid of running too late, uh even here not yet the sound of the bell" I replied after feeling calm.

"well, so doang to run away, if it is too late, received the punishment, most also asked to add tasks" said Vidya.

"well, that's what makes me run, one task only sometimes make the cooking quail want to add more tasks, can faint at my place later" I replied slightly unraveled.

"if you faint, just take it to the uk or Jas" said Rania

I was just grimacing, actually it was not good to lie to them, but I also did not want to be interrogated by my three friends for bringing provisions for Yuda, as well, worried that they would think no of me and Judah.
