year 2010
my family was planning to travel to a remote area in the southern Sumatran province, at that time, I had just graduated Kindergarten
but the only one who moved in that area was me, my mother, my sister, and my father.my brother did not come because he would go up to the 6th grade sd.karna my parents did not want to bother about the transfer of my sister's school,my brother was put in my uncle's house.
the area my family lived in was in the village of blooming jaya,sp 3, kec.lubai ulu,kab.lubai,prov.sumatra south.it was the place that would become my new home.
there my parents bought 1 hectare of forest, to be worked into a garden, after they managed to open the field, my parents set up a house there, the house looks small about 7×10 meters only, and the house looks like a small house,even the roof of my house holds dry reeds for weaving.The distance between my garden and the village ranges between ±1 KM. so I lived in the middle of the forest just to keep the garden and we were the only 1 family that lived there,my parents also started planting their garden with rubber trees.there is also rice for our family's basic food needs, as well,cassava that sometimes for me to make a snack that can be eaten.not to forget sometimes also grow it with long bean vegetables, eggplant, chili, papaya, pumpkin etc.
I will also be only 6 years old when I started school in elementary school.I started to feel comfortable in my new school, but there I was lonely, I was lonely,since I have no acquaintances and friends at all and the distance to my school is very far, imagine a 6-year-old walking to school with a distance of 1 km,plus along the road I passed there was only a quiet forest, I was afraid that if there were ghosts, but I knew ghosts would not show themselves during the day,but my mind would drift everywhere if I was scared, my fear was added because in the forest it still has many wild animals such as snakes,*** woods, monkeys etc. but my parents were not afraid of it, nor did they have the heart to let me go to school by myself through the forest.they were very diligent in driving me morning and noon to pick me back up on foot,because there my parents had no means of transportation to drive, the only way was on foot
although it is very difficult to live in the middle of the forest,in addition, my family included poor people but I was happy at that time, the family was still complete and we could still laugh cheerfully in times of our dire conditions.My family also did not give up and continued working hard even though there are times when the health condition of my parents decreases but they still diligently work.
note: life is hard and you should not give up!keep the spirit despite the calamity and trials continue to hit you:)
so now you already know, why pratiwi tri wardani mentions that his life in south Sumatra is very difficult, it is indeed difficult.try you imagine :D
