At night, Shanum, who is eating instant noodles in his mini kitchen, has to stop eating when he hears his cell phone ringing incessantly. He immediately got up, and saw the caller who turned out to be his mother "Halo Assalamu'alaikum Buk"
"Wa'alaikum greetings, how is Brother there?" ask Buk Siti
"Bad brother buk, same other mother also good?" ask Shanum
"Good mother Brother, Alhamdulillah"
"Thank God"
"Have you eaten?" tanya Buk Siti still looks stale
"Already Buk, I bought fried rice in front"
"Thank God, take care of your health there"
"Yes Buk, definitely. Mmm... Kiyara school is the same Dimas how Buk, all is well right?" ask Shanum
"That's it, son, Spp's arrears a few months ago have been charged by the school, but Mother is still not enough money"
Shanum closed his eyes to hear from his beloved mother. Life without a father figure in fact makes the burden of his mother so great. The old woman must be required to be both Father and Mother at the same time.
"Seek two days off yes Buk with the school, later surely Brother send the money" said Shanum
"Later Kasbon brother to the company. I'll take it easy"
"Yes, take care of your health there. I'm closing yes, Assalamu'alaikum"
"Wa'alaikum salam"

Shanum let out a rough breath. How can he make money within two days, while at this time the money he has is only enough to eat for the next few days. Shanum put down his phone, and again grabbed the instant noodle bowl he had left behind. He again ate the instant noodles even though the taste was not as tasty as before
After eating, Shanum lay down on his bed. Staring at the sky of the room with a mind that branches where. The cost of Kiyara's school, which is currently in High School, is more expensive than Dimas's school fees. Every month Shanum and Buk Siti had to prepare money ranging from one hundred and fifty thousand for the cost of Kiyara school Spp. But a few months ago, the income from the fried sales he earned was so decreased, that he could not pay his sister's school fees
Yes, the only business that Shanum lived while in the village was to become a fried seller. Although the results are not much, but it is enough to meet the needs of his life with the family. But a few months ago his sales felt lonely, maybe because of the many people who now also start selling. So that it causes the economy of his family that is not adequate to become worse
"Tomorrow I'll have to find another job. But where?" shanum Monologue
Shanum grabbed his wallet which only contained seventy-five thousand dollars. The remaining money to go to Jakarta, and his salary for one working day. Somehow the road feels very dead end, bad luck after bad luck always comes to him. Without tears on Shanum's cheeks.
Shanum wept dumbstruck, venting the resentment in his heart for life's shortcomings. He was so sharp and impressed strong in people's eyesight. But this is the real him, the weak figure who always cries at night to vent all the resentment that rests in his heart
