1st Cycle

It was raining.. just a light rain where it drops and softly touch us..

The clock shows a quarter past five when the phone rang. It waken up almost all entire family. There were just three of them though.. the boy, his sister, and their mother. It needs a while to wake him up. Doesn't seem like he can be bothered from his sleep, but he woke up a few seconds later.. because the voice was coming from his cellphone..

So sudden news... and so few words to be heard from the phone.. but just one thing he remembered.. " Please come.. now.. "

He already knew who it is, just by listened to the voice.. For a few seconds he stand still.. imagine and remembered the story of the kid that called him earlier.. the story of the kid's family,

There was this one happy family, a family that could inspire everyone. The means of life to always get happiness on every step you continue your life. Even if life is not friendly, even if life is a hard thing to do. There were just three of them, living on the house for at least 12 m2. There were parents and their only daughter. The wife worked as a house assistant for a family on Arcamanik. She had been there for almost ten years. Having one smart daughter, they must be proud. Because this year, their beloved daughter was on a senior high school in Bandung. They considered it as a big city since the girl was never leaving Garut (a small town on the south of Bandung) since the first day she entered school. And the last one is the husband, the kid's father, was a very healthy man that works really hard for their family. He worked as a vendor (food seller) also on Arcamanik. He was still so young, he haven't reached the age 30. He was sure a good looking person, not only on the face, but also his appearance, and his character. No one ever thinking bad about him. Such a person that did a lot for his family and also for his community. He never complained about anything. For him, life was not something to be complained about, GOD gives us everything, he said. He never get sick, miraculously, not even once. One moment people saw he got sick just when he got a toothace. He wakes up early everyday, wake his wife and daughter to get pray, take her daughter to the school before he start to preparing the goods to be selled. Then he comes home after eight o'clock at night, and it happens everyday.

The boy woke up from his fantasy. Brings the memory back into reality. He got to the bathroom and washed his face a bit. Then he prepared his bike on a rush. He didn't prepare much.. he used the same clothes as he used it on bed..

He feel something bad has already happened. But he deceived it.. His aim right now is just to reach that place.. a place that was only 12 m2 size. The place that was not too far, but the path was not easy either, he have to ride his bike through the field, farm, and a few narrow street..

Just when he reached the place.. his nightmare comes true.. he couldn't hold his tears and get fallen to the ground a bit.. and he suddenly realized that death can come to everyone at anytime, anyplace, and any moments..

GOD must have loved the family.. GOD gives a sooner time for a good guy to face before HIM..

The rain was actually stopped... but I haven't see it end yet..
It was still raining..
