Helping Mother

✴️✴️✴️

The sky is yellowish red,

The sun is still hiding ashamed and embarrassed on the eastern horizon, not yet willing to reveal itself completely.

Several birds flew around,

the atmosphere is still calm there is no wind blowing hard, just a gentle breeze.

Axijim woke up late that day, he woke up when the sun was about as high as a spear, maybe because he was tired of being busy helping his parents yesterday.

Huaahh ... (yawns)

"It's morning, huh?

I wash my face first so it's fresh ".

"What are you doing in the morning?

???

ahh just jog,

I rarely run early in the morning ".

Axijim then prepared himself for a morning run around the village.

"Mother… !, well… !, Axij run early in the morning huh…"

"Yes, son, be careful ...!".

"Yes ...

greetings, Axij goodbye first ... ".

Axijim started running.

"Ahh the cool air this morning,

quiet,

there is only a gentle breeze ".

While running Axijim thought about the assignment the Archer teacher had given him a few days ago.

"Can you or not, I will hold the bow and lift it properly,

I hope you can,

right father trained me yesterday,

now I run run first just relax this stiff body ".

"Mother...!

"I want to find firewood, son, mother's firewood has run out".

"I'm coming, ma'am ...?" asked Meda.

"No need, son! You'll be tired later".

"Uhh mother…" Meda sulked.

"Later mom will just invite Sis Axij, you just play ya ... at home with dad".

"Uhh mother ..." still sulking.

"It can't be like that!"

"Okay" with a pouting face.

"It's enough I better go home maybe mom and dad need me"

Arriving at home…

"Greetings ma'am" Axij greeted his mother in front of the house.

"Greetings too, son, have you run in the morning?"

"Yes, Mom".

"Oh, I'll help you later ...".

"Help what mom?".

"Looking for firewood in the garden while harvesting cotton".

"Okay ma'am, Axij have to be ready what?".

"You take the bag in the kitchen huh ...".

"Fine ma'am" Axij replied then took the bag in the kitchen.

"This is ...".

"Put it over there, kid".

"Mom ...! When we want to harvest huh ... ?.

"Yes, son, while the price of cotton is currently rising ...".

"How come ...?".

"That ... the sailors are in need of cotton cloth to make their sails, now the fishing season has arrived".

"Oh ... so the sailors are building a ship huh ... to catch fish".

"Yes, son ...".

"Let's go !, mother is ready".

"Son ...! You took the bag earlier ...!".

"Yes ma ... come on ...".

"Meda ...! Father ...! We are leaving first ... going to the garden" said the mother a little loudly.

"Yes my wife ... be careful on the road!".

Meda, who was playing in the house, immediately came out to his mother.

"Be careful, ma'am ...!"

"Yes my son ..."

kissed Meda's forehead.

"Greetings, we will go first" said Axij.

"Greetings ..." replied Meda.

"Daaah ...! My son, mother go first ...

Axijim and his mother then left for the garden.

Arriving ...

"Mom ...! Arrived,

"That's right. We'll harvest it ... now let's find dry wood first and collect it here ...!".

"Fine, ma'am…".

They also look for dry wood until they collect a lot.

"Mom ...! There's a lot of wood".

"Thankfully".

Mother then tied the wood so that it was easy to carry home.

"Axij…! Now let's help mom…!

"Fine, ma'am…".

"Take the cotton and put it in the bag you brought earlier, and take the one that fell down ...!".

"Mom ...! The cotton is gone ma'am ...

"Yes son, let's go home ...".

"You bring the bag!, And mother will bring this firewood".

Axij and mother then walked home.

Axij walked towards the kitchen.

"Greetings ..." Axij greeted again.

"Greetings too, son ..." said the father who was busy with his hunting tools.
