I'm him & us
City Child

"Is he ready?" Said Lia's father in a slow tone, at this time Lia even came out with a large enough bag, he would spend his time in the field, from which he had to bring enough clothes

"Yaudah, come on" he said again and after the old motorbike drove back in the countryside until the motorbike entered the oil palm plantation, it didn't take long they finally arrived at a small house, typical plantation

"Mother" said Lia kissed the back of his mother's hand and hugged the woman he loved so much, it's been a long time since he missed the mother

"Where's mom?" Speak with a soft tone

"Good Mom, how are you?" Lia's mother smiled at the princess

"Good mother, uh, this is yes the little boy you said yesterday?" Said Mother Lia pointing at Alif who was still stunned by the scenery that greeted him today, understandably, this scene can only be seen through paintings, but this view can only be seen through paintings, in urban areas do not have mountains of tree trees and river water that flows clear and is still awake, this is his first experience of living in the wild like this

"Oh Iya Bun, he's the son of a friend who Lia told yesterday, Alif love here with each other grandma first" said Lia smiling, Alif stopped admiring activities in this verdant nature, he immediately approached Lia's mother and kissed her back

"Rizki mana bu" said Lia while after putting her bottom bag, currently both Lia's parents only live with a small boy named Rizki, he is Lia's cousin, Lia's daughter, while Lia's younger sister is of course already in the county town for school

Actually, the fate of Rizki and Alif is not much different, Alif who since childhood lived in his mother, while Rizki, Rizki, when the boy was 4 years old there was a dispute between his parents and then the two chose to separate, as a result, the fruit of the heart that became a victim and was abandoned due to lack of affection, And for 4 years Rizki was taken care of by his grandmother

"Oo he's still in the river, fishing he said, from earlier he waited for you really excited, because it has been a long time waiting for you ngak dateng so come to the river deh" Said the mother who was only replied with a nod from Lia

"Honey Alif must be tired right?, Alif rest first, later if kak iki has just come home to play with Iki, ok baby?" His words to Alif who was even still busy staring at the surroundings, heard the mother's words he could only shake his head

"Auntie" said an 8-year-old boy who came with a towel waist, he smiled widely while hugging Lia so tightly, since little Rizki was quite close to him

"I miss you, when's aunt coming home?" He took off his wound

"Call aunty already big, remember Do not play water can continue to hurt later" said he smiled and went to the room looking for clothes for his dearest call this

"This who's Bi?" Rizki said as she looked at Alif who was sitting quietly between Lia and her mother

"Later Iki play with Alif yes, trus Iki can not be naughty ok" he said smiling as he came out of the room carrying clothes for his nephew

"Ok Bi, Alif later we find durian together, fishing with a swimming truss together yes" said Rizki with enthusiasm, he is currently on school holidays and of course he chooses to spend his holidays in the fields, vacationing in the fields is a very pleasant thing for rural children like him, he said, in the field they can play and do anything, although sometimes feel lonely but he certainly has his own way to brush it off

"Just calm down, if the matter of beaver is the same play water his older brother, calm down will be brother ajarin until jago, ok" He said excitedly as Rizki said with a passionate voice, of course, Alif could only nod his head, though he hesitated whether he would survive if he entered the long pond or even drowned and could not be found after

"Bi, aunt brought by ngak?" Her words, Lia just scratched and of course she was still so focused on dressing for her Nephew, this,

After finishing his work, he grabbed a bag, and took out some kind of typical snacks, and some of his other items

"Hore" he said with a tone so excited

"Bukkgg" The voice sounded quite loud, and of course made Iki run straight towards his trunk

"Alif, you are still waiting for what is there, durian falls, come help brother nyari" said Rizki when he did not see Alif did not follow his steps

"Mother?"

"Udah there aja love playing with Iki, Alif would know how it feels to be a village boy, just exciting deh"

"Can you really?" He said with enthusiasm, as a child who is just growing, of course, he felt like to know many things about the place where the mother lived, but even so he did not dare to act before getting approval from the mother

"Yes, Iki's playing with her"

"Hore thank you mother, again very dear to the mother" He said stirring and then immediately ran after Rizki who was under a durian tree not far from home

"Wasn't her mother worried that Alif was coming with you?, where is she so young again" Lia's mother said staring at Alif from a distance

"Her mother has died ma'am, when Lia wants to go to the terminal Alif's father said that if Alif is sick so Lia jengukin, uh know when Lia pamit he even maksa come, so Lia jengukin, pity also mom at home does not have friends, her father often out of town, May ya Alif stay longer here" said Lia slowly sitting next to her mother, and massage the feet of the now aging mother

"May you just feel good, he's a city person and certainly has a much different lifestyle with us, I don't want to make you embarrassed in front of your friends"

"No need to think, ma'am, behave like it can, if he is wrong to stay in reprimand and if he is naughty only need to be reminded if it is not good"

hearing the mother's daughter's words even just using her head, she understood there were many children who lack affection due to her parents who are always busy, besides she understood how Alif felt, Alif, such a small child has to live independently without the affection of the mother, what a poor fate.
