This is chapter 1...

Maryati...

A very simple name, but his life is not as simple as his name.

She's a woman who lives in a crowded village.

15 Year old.

The dishes are graceful, gentle, and full of manners.

His small body was slightly dark-skinned due to too often exposed to the heat of the sun.

His attitude and daily life are very simple.

He was born into a family that did not have..

His father was only a jobless worker, and his mother also did not have a permanent job, until Maryatipun contributed to meet the needs of their lives.

Every day, for Maryati, no time should be wasted without results.

Starting from waking up in the morning until the night before going to bed again.

***

Early in the morning, he woke up before his parents woke up.

As usual, there was nothing to eat this morning.

He grabbed the glass and filled it with cold water that was entered in the jug, and then gulped it greedily.

For a moment he thought..

What to do first, as if getting an answer.

He decided to wash his clothes and take a bath in the river, and immediately he gathered the filthy clothes scattered in every corner of his house, and put them in the tub he would bring to the river.

Not forgetting he prepared a sack, just in case a lot of wood was washed away by the current, then it was his fortune.

He'll take her home as firewood.

Maryati rushed down the stairs of her house made of wood that had begun to age and weathered, visible holes in some corners of the wall.

The distance from his house to the river is quite far, but the road is quite flat.

Along the way to the river, he thought, after washing, what else should he do, in order to ease the burden of his father and mother.

The river has been seen from a distance..

He sped up his steps, stepped on the wooden bridge to get to the middle of the river to wash.

While washing, his eyes seemed to glance left and right, seeing if the wood was washed away.

Half an hour later, the laundry is done.

Maryati went on to take a bath, she swam here and there, drowned and showed up.

For him, life is too heavy.when bathing like this he can feel free from the burden.

Maryati release her burden in her way, that is by swimming in the river, at least there is a feeling of relief even if only for a moment and will definitely return again.

After taking a bath, he went to the edge, started to collect wood, bamboo or anything that could be used as fuel.

After collecting 1 full sack, He decided to go home.

When girls his age are preening beautify themselves, not with Maryati.

She had to let her teenage years disappear just like that, because of the inability of her parents, Maryati had to accept the fact that she had to drop out of school.Maryati stopped her education in elementary school..

With both hands, he held a sack of wood and placed it next to his right hand by pinning it between his waist and arms.

While his left hand was clutching his laundry.

Maryati walked a little staggered, occasionally seen her body whizzing... But that did not dampen his spirit to keep going forward.
