I'm Malik Jayadi, living in a village
Telongsari located in the city of M in eastern Java.
I was born from a family that was not. My father
a farmer who has no
land, so he should always look for people
the land he wants to work on.
My mother was a laundry worker in the village, who
going from house to house offers
its services. I'm three brothers, two brothers
women and they are married and
take each husband to another city.
Now I am, the youngest who always
from a small age, even now
I'm 26 years old, and
she has a little daughter aged 3
the year.
My life is just a driver
angkot, must always fight to meet
daily living needs.
I walked from the village road one to
other villages to add
passengers. Even if it's quiet
passenger, I have to hang around
village road until nightfall,
so I can pay the deposit
daily to Mr. Ahmad, the owner of the angkot
stay in my village.
...----------------...
The morning after I arrived at the angkot boss' house.
"Lik, your angkot service will be yes!
Looks like someone's in trouble. Try you
listen sound! There's every buzz
times start the machine." Terang pak Ahmad's.
"Yes sir, later after returning home, I take it to the workshop. I want to take it home
after finishing from the workshop?" My bargain on
mr. Ahmad.
"No need Lik, let Toni take it
come home, anyways later in the afternoon he has no activities,"
refuse mr. Ahmad.
"Alright sir, then I say narik
long ago, Assalamualaikum," while entering
the steering. I smiled and nodded at
mr. Ahmad.
"Waalaikumsalam, heart of hearts son," replied sir
Ahmad smiled with a thin smile.
It was seen that Mr. Ahmad saw the passing of the angkot
in front of him. He breathed slowly
while saying softly. I don't know what he said, I could only see his mouth as if he was muttering alone.
...---------------...
It was late afternoon.
"Alhamdulillah, today can deposit and still
there's leftovers to buy the kitchen stuff, "i
say while smiling happily.
This is how I live and live my day to day
work with the driver and
I have to think about my son's needs
soon to go to early school.
There's not much I can do other than
being a driver, I was just a graduate
SMP country in the village, no expertise
particular. I also have to work hard to learn. Thankfully, there was Tony. Child
eldest sir Ahmad who wants to teach me how to drive. Since Junior High I have been hanging out with
mason Toni. Even though we are 2 years old
but we feel like close friends.
Even Tony thinks of me as a little brother

Love matters, don't ask.
I've been living a household life
for 2 years and ended up being betrayed.
At the age of Annisa went one year. My wife

Actually, there is no woman who

My priority right now is my son. My little princess Annisa. I had to keep him growing and
flourishes. Building a strong mentality
for him so that he does not get discouraged even though
she does not have a mother who
care for and educate him.
Annisa is not thirsty for affection.
My parents always pay attention
and monitor its progress always.
There is also Fatma. Mr. Ahmad's youngest son
who often came to the house to bring it
toys and drawing equipment.
Annisa's always excited when Fatma
