You are everything to me
Six months have passed…
Tio did not expect, that his life that once fit - pasan has changed. Now since working in oil palm plantations, Tio has been able to meet the needs of his mother and sister.
Vino will soon be in third grade at Junior High. Naturally, Tio hoped that his sister could go to high school and be able to get a decent job.
In between his work break, Tio contacted his mother in the village.
"Hello buk, how's Mom doing?" tanya Tio who sat leaning against the palm tree.
"Assalaamualaikum Tio first if you start talking on the phone" said Bu Nani who advised his son.
"Hehehe, yes Buk sorry." said Tio as he laughed loudly across the street.
"You are Tio, now you have forgotten to say hello when you contact Ibuk. Must have forgotten prayers by now, right?" bu Nani.
"Yes Buk, Tio is now busy working even overtime" Tio explained to his mother.
"Let's however, don't leave prayers under any circumstances that's Tio." Bu Nani advised Tio not to abandon his prayer obligations.
"Yes Buk yes, Tio will try." replied Tio just assuring advice from his mother.
"Vino where's Buk?" tanya Tio switched the conversation.
"Vino is still in school, another hour just came home." said Bu Nani who was sitting on the porch of his house.
"Oh, yes later greetings the same Vino Buk, do not be naughty and play." pinta Tio to his mother.
"Yes will be delivered. How's your job Tio? Smoothly?" asked Bu Nani who missed the voice of her eldest son.
"Alhamdulillah smoothly Buk, now Tio also save and the rest is sent for the needs of Vino and also Mother. The sales are good, aren't they Buk?" vino said he told about his activities during the overseas and his mother's situation in the village.
"This is thankfully selling Mothers selling sweet Tio, now I add employees to help - help sales. If Mother herself is overwhelmed plus care for Vino." explained Bu Nani happily shared the story with Tio.
"Tio was happy to hear it. Hopefully the more smoothly and the windfall yes Buk," said Tio pray for his mother's merchandise.
"You are also Tio, who can succeed and go home later bring children and wives." Bu Nani replied to pray for her son.
"Hahaha, what the hell is Ibuk. I have been thinking about marriage for a long time. Yes already Buk, Tio wants to continue the work again. The break time is over." said Tio to his mother.
"Working spirit, dear" said Bu Nani hanging up the phone.
The phone ends, Tio and Bu Nani resume their activities.
It has been a few months, Tio bak swallowed the earth. His relationship with Feni was broken but for Feni, the relationship cannot be forgotten. For the girl, her long-standing love for Tio is hard to forget.
Feni's parents do not know about his relationship with Tio because Feni is still in school and Feni's father requests to focus on school first.
Now, Feni can only live his days by studying and studying because the 3rd grade is approaching the test.
"Mas Tio, how are you? Feni kangen Mas, when to go home?" muttered Feni sitting on his study chair.
After learning, Feni looked at the photo of Tio while rubbing her face on her phone. Missing, yes Feni misses Tio because it has been a few months there is no news of her lover who is aka ex.
"Feni will patiently wait for you Mas Tio. Despite the storm, Feni will be waiting for you to come home." Feni's monologue is determined to wait for Tio to come back no matter what.

"Ah tired…!"
"Recome back to Tio?" Aldi passed by and greeted Tio who was sitting on the stairs while taking off his boots.
"Yes, overtime me. Tired of it." said Tio leaned against the wall and finished the drink in his big bottle.
"Okay, then I'll go out for the wind. Bosen in the room continue, yes first." said Aldi passed away.
Tio only nodded his head while closing his eyes in sleepiness.
A few minutes passed, Tio stood towards the room putting down the bag then picked up the clothes in the closet and stepped into the bathroom.
Finished with the bath ritual, Tio draped a towel next to the bathroom to dry.
Later, Tio joined Mr. Broto who as usual always chatted with friends - his friends even occasionally help in the store when his wife and son were out.
"Everyone's night" said Tio sitting next to Mr. Broto.
"Night is also Tio," answered the compact all at once.
"Have you eaten yet?" ask Mr. Broto.
"Not sir, any minute," said Tio each wanting to enjoy joking with the others.
"Let's eat first, the night hunt and soon it will rain. The wind is very strong tonight and look at the clouds over the cloud" said Mr. Niko chimed in chatter.
"Alright, Tio excuse me first." said Tio standing up leaving them for dinner.
After Tio died, they all chatted and joked together. Laughter until it sounded right at home. Whether what is discussed, they really enjoy the chat and are happy to get acquainted with other people.
Tio took the rice and side dishes to his plate. This time some of the cuisine of Bu Neneng ludes because it is delicious and Tio is the last person to finish the cuisine of Bu Neneng.
While Bu Neneng and Eni went to Ana's house because Eni is saturated continue to be at home. So Bu Neneng invited Eni to walk around this division to get to know people throughout the division.
The three of them chatted with each other sharing stories of things that only the women knew. Until it does not feel two hours of chatting make them forget the land.
"All right, I'll go home first An. It's already tonight Mr. Broto is looking for me." said Bu Neneng smilingly looking at the corners of his lips.
"Even, as anything sought is old too. You're not going anywhere Ma'am, your husband's friends are going to be a lot. Surely Mr. Broto knew you were in my house." Ana smiled at his best friend while being watched over.
"Yes, too, but it's really night. Poor Eni was also sleepy" said Bu Neneng looking at his daughter who looks cute in his eyes.
"Well, when - when to play here chat with En so as not to be saturated in the store continues." said Ana saw Eni.
"Yes, Ana,"
"Yes I've come home first An," said Bu Neneng again.
"Yes heart - heart the way using a flashlight so as not to fall because many roads are covered with grass" said Ana.
"Yes,"
Ana escorted the two men to the door and closed the door because it was already night. Ana chooses to watch television with her son while waiting for her husband to come home.
