The Elbow of Life
I've guessed it

I heard their conversation from the room and it turned out to be true what I had guessed when my mother told me that my uncle and aunt were going to visit

I haven't liked them very much

just because I appreciate my parents' requests all this time I've kept them quiet

this time they came to visit because they knew about the progress of my father and mother's business that had advanced

easily they asked for the rice fields of the grandfather who had been taken care of by my parents

in the room I was angry but whatever I was before my parents allowed me to speak I had to respect them

I couldn't hear them so I washed my face and got ready for bed

when the sunlight came in to light my room I woke up from my deep sleep today I was off school because at school was being held a meeting

actually I still want to be in my bed under this warm blanket until I remember what I wanted to do this morning with Dad

so I hurried out of my bed walking towards the bathroom but I just wanted to wash my face

due to feeling the cold water I canceled to take a morning shower well that's how I am

if it wasn't a school day I wouldn't be taking a morning shower about her cold water

'' My mother's father approached two parents whom I loved very much

'' hi baby good morning, said Dad

'' you are awake, my mother said to me

'' yes, my beautiful mother answered my mother.

''today we are going to walk the morning walk ?'' Ask my Dad

'' so dong nak replied Dad while glancing at me

'' uncle and aunt haven't woken up yet?

'' not yet dear'

I drank water while Dad drank coffee after we finished walking down the village road enjoying the beautiful scenery while walking I asked Dad if he was okay I remembered about the conversation last night I was worried about her

I started this conversation first because I knew very well the nature of my father he would not share his troubles with anyone

at first Dad didn't want to tell me but I gave him an explanation if I wasn't his son who understood the father's distress then who else

start telling me about what I was with last night

in front of Dad, I pretended I only found out after Dad told me

I asked Dad's permission if I could speak to my uncle and aunt about this

finally Dad allowed me actually I deliberately took Dad to walk the road with this purpose

it didn't feel like we had arrived at Dad's garden

Dad greeted the gardener uncle who was picking ripe papaya

'' how pack what papaya crop today many '' My father said to the gardener

'' quite la pak boss '' that's how the workers greet Father

in our garden there are many papaya trees, banana trees, and also his regular coconut and brown tree every two times a week Daddy's friend who is in town will come to pick up the crops here

Father had to sell the crops to the city because the results were more profitable for them

after being satisfied around the garden Dad told Sala a worker to cut down a ripe banana and told her to bring it home

'' please bring this banana to the house later, so my son and I want to go to the market after from here -' said Father to his workers

'' good is the boss sir said the worker who was asked by Father earlier

in Pasat Father must go directly to the fish seller and buy fresh fruits such as apples and oranges about this fruit is not in our garden so we have to buy it

I'll have the cake and snacks I like

after being satisfied with our shopping, but not directly to our house, we returned Dad's motorbike to the garden, after which we walked home with our groceries

'' ahh finally arrived, I complained to Dad

'' why do you want to be tired huh'' asked father to me

'' tired of Dad but still this is exciting, I replied to Dad

mom came out after hearing our jokes on the front porch of the house and said

'' uh not her earlier you guys say you want to walk the morning road ya ko bring the groceries'' asked the astonished mother to see the grocery bags we brought

''' yes, the ma'am was his intention was to just walk in the morning, uh after driving around the garden Dad to remember the market so we borrowed a worker's motor to make it to the market '' explain my mother to my father

oh yes Dad was there a worker who brought bananas and papaya to cook said he told Sama Dad ''taya mother to my father

'' yes, ma'am I told you earlier ''

'' yes already once you two take a shower first we have breakfast together'' mother ordered both of us

I did not wait long to bring the groceries into the kitchen and walk to my room

after finishing. shower I helped mom in the kitchen preparing breakfast aunt also came to help us so all was quickly finished after that we had breakfast together

the atmosphere of breakfast this morning is not as usual we just enjoy the food that there is only the sound of our cutlery is very awkward atmosphere

which is usually the three of us joking at the dinner table and usually I started but saw the expression of my father and uncle I had more silence first

as we were together relaxing on the back porch of the house

I started the conversation so that the atmosphere was better I mean I said the situation I saw earlier in the garden

dad answered me telling me when his friend would come to pick up their crops

mother also told aunt that the stitches of the people out there will also be brought to the city

auntie's expression was fine hearing about my parents' progress

unlike the uncle from earlier, he saw my father sharply

and I don't like that

''oh yes have you considered what I said last night finally my uncle asked my father

'' that last night, I don't think you can take it with all ya answered my father

'' what do you mean ask uncle back

'' this is what our parents gave me as a sign of their gratitude for taking care of them until they died explained my father to my uncle

'' yes I know but it can not be like that, should his two parents we divide his said uncle back

'' but you've got another like the rice field that you sold first'' defended my father

'' why are you bringing it up, you already have a large garden and some other rice fields said the uncle again

'' yes, but it is on my own merry sister, said my father again

'' why did you become like this first you will not fight me said uncle in a tone that began to rise slightly

my mother and I and my aunt just kept quiet hearing the conversation between the two of them
