LATE

Long time ago, earth circumstances were so different from now, there were no animal, river, and rocks, the only thing that you can find are sands and desert plants. The temperature in the day time is up to 40^oC and in the night, it could reach 5^oC, it was so terrible. High skills were needed in order to survive.

The distance between houses was far. Me and my family live in a big house with big kitchen, five bed rooms, one dining room, one living room, and two good toilets that has complicated system, this system keep the toilets has no odor and clean even tough without any water. All of that was made by my father; he made this house by using woods from desert plant and sands that harden by plant sap. He also act as the architect, and just like everyone have known that my father is the best person in doing this job. That is why I really proud of him.

My family survives by planting desert plant and eats the fruit, since there were no any seasons here; we plant the trees in different time so every tree has different time to yield. We do this thing in order to prevent from losing food stocks. There are five different types of trees in my garden, cokoko, kolili, lidudu, dusese, and seroro, these fruit was so delightful. My mother could make many different types of food by mixing these fruits. My sister and I really love kolili fruit, because this fruit is the sweetest fruit ever.

Tomorrow I will help my father to take some fruit in our garden, so i sleep faster than before. But, in the morning I and my family were so offend. When I and my father want to take some fruit in the garden, we found that our garden was broken; last night there were thieves that took all our fruit stocks. My mother and my sister are crying, my father feel so angry and stress, I fed up, I confused and think what will we eat latter. The wind is gliding I take a deep breath and go to my room, I take my red bag on my bed and directly go to our neighbors’ house, when I arrived to the first house, I knock the big brown door, in a minute a man goes out and let me in. Then I ask some fruit to him. Firstly he does not want to give me his fruit, but after I tell him the story, he wants to help me by giving some of his fruit. And I repeat this process for five times in five different houses. When the sun is right above my head, it is glitter so I go home.

In my house I give the fruits to my mother, and then my mother put some smile in her face, that makes me feel so happy. She goes to the kitchen and starts to cook. After that I go to the garden, I saw my father are repairing our garden, I directly go down and help him. When every things are finish. We dine out eat dinner together in our dining room.

However, the fruits that I collect last time are not enough. It has been 3 days without food. My mother and my sister are dying. I have go to my neighbor’ house but they do not want to give any fruit anymore because they only have little amount of stocks. I walk away and try to get some food. On the way I find a wild tree, I directly climb the tree and take all the fruit, and then I run home.

When I arrived, I open my shoes and come in as fast as I can. But, there are many people inside my house, they are so silent and sad, I can see it from their face. My sister is howling. I feel so confuse, then I go to second floor where my parent’s room placed. What a shocking tragedy, i saw my mother lies on the bed without any breath, she was passed away. I topple all the fruits in my hand to the floor, I run and hug my mother, and my tears are flowing from my eyes. I feel so regret, I only late for a few minutes. It was beating me.
