WHAT ABOUT ME?
William?

After the cardboard that I found under the open bed, I was stunned because in it neatly stored my diary book that I deliberately kept there.

for a moment I remembered that I had kept it there and asked my mother not to throw it away because it was a memory of my childhood.

I took out one by one my diary books until I found a small box made of cardboard wrapped in wrapping paper.What is this, I don't think I ever made it, long thought I finally remembered something. This is from Liam, yes Liam, my childhood friend.

We used to be friends because he used to live next to my house, but when he went up to grade 3 of elementary school, he said, his father and mother invited him to move to the city for something and it made our friendship finally cut off.

before leaving Liam had time to give me a gift "for you, and I have it too"

more or less that's what he said.

but until now I have not opened it because I was too disappointed over Liam's departure, and I hope that the day's events are a dream.

doubtfully I grabbed the small box then immediately tore the package apart and opened it.

I was upset because in the wrapper there was a necklace with a half-hearted pendulum with the initials W with a paper with a picture of a boy and a girl holding hands. although the picture is less clear but I'm sure it's the picture.

almost seven years we did not meet, even though I was so small, but I still clearly remember how good Liam's parents were to me, even when they bought Liam a toy, they will also buy me. And this necklace I believe that Liam's father and mother bought it.

"if this pendulum is initial W, don't Liam have the same necklace with initials J? "

"why do I just remember Liam, how is it, where is he now, auntie, how is he? " my monologue.

hhuuh....

again I feel tightness in the chest when I have to remember with my childhood friend, he is good even not infrequently when someone is cheating on me, he is the front guard to protect me.

"i just realized, apparently since your move to the city, those who are evil to me have become Liam"

I am always sad when I remember what happened in the past, sometimes I am afraid of myself and choose not to say hello to those who are behind me.

I wipe my tears that arrived flowing rapidly, I immediately save the necklace and letter given by Liam, Liam, and I put it in my closet so that my mother's brother or father doesn't know.

after a little calm, I quickly tidied up the cardboard that I took out for me to put back under the bed after that I continued to sweep the floor that was still dirty.

I see my mother is still struggling with her sewing machine and my sister is still playing her car. I immediately continued sweeping and tidying up some of the scattered items after which I proceeded to wash the dishes.

15:30 wib

I asked my mother's permission to go to the fields to look for grass and not to forget I brought my sister with me so she wasn't alone playing at home.

mom stopped her work for a while and then turned to look at me.

"dad not come home yet? " ask mom.

"not yet ma'am, where is father? , maybe after this, I left first ma'am afraid of the kesorean" said I.

"his camel to the rice field earlier, want to look there"

my family does not independently have a field of rice fields, but there used to be one of my grandfather's brothers who gave some of his rice fields to manage the mother, it is not much and not broad, indeed, only a few small plots of rice fields were given.

even though we cannot meet our basic needs, we are still grateful to get that sustenance.

and again, I have two cows that I always find grass in the fields every day when the rainy season and a lot of weeds grow alive.

I used to buy cows for savings if one day we were in trouble we could sell them, and now the broom mother has given birth several times to the saplings who when they were older, when they were older, I sold it to meet an urgent need.

I went to the rice field by walking while guiding my sister, not too far away, only about 10 minutes from home.

arriving at the paddy field, I immediately took out a rit celu that I stored in the sack.

"dad, you sit here yeah, brother grab the grass over there first, you play this" point me at the grass that looks taller.

"yes, sister" replied my sister.

I gave him a toy that I had brought so that he was unsaturated, I swept my eyes, father was not in the rice field, maybe had gone home and stopped by somewhere else, I thought.

not waiting for a long time I was moving to look for grass so that it was not too dark when I came home. Almost 1 hour I collected grass and I put it in the sack, now it's done my job, now it's done, I grabbed a bottle of water near my sister and I drank in a hurry because of the incredible thirst.

after taking a break, I invited my sister home.

the afternoon atmosphere in the rice fields is very cool, the breeze is flying the leaves of dry leaves falling.

I walked through the streets holding a sack of grass while my sister walked in front of me.

on the way home, I found my father in the neighbor's house, as if they needed my father's energy.

do not want to disturb father, after greeting him I immediately say goodbye to go home.
