Hi, my name is Eka Rizkiyah. I am a student of grade eighth A in BANjARBARU 1 Junior High School now. Every Sunday, my parents always went to our garden. The garden was far away from my house. And I stayed at home with my sister. Usually, I was watching TV alone when my sister played with her friends outer the house. November 15th 2008, my parents and I had guests. They were my uncle, aunt, and cousins from Tanjung. They visited to my house. And November 16th 2008, my parents, uncle and aunt went to the garden. My cousins and I stayed at home together.
But, my body was not health. I was not feeling well. I had headache, stomachache, flu, and cough. Before my parents went, my mother said, “Didn’t eat late and didn’t forget to take medicines!” My cousins and I just watched TV in the family room. My cousins and I just spent time with watched favorite cartoons a long day. In the afternoon, I took a nap until 14.30 pm. Then, I woke up. My cousin’s friend, Indra was taken by his family. He came back to his house in Tanjung.
A few hours later, my stomach was painful. Ouchhh!!! My stomach was hungry. I went to my kitchen, and I took plate, spoon, some rice, and a fish. Then, I ate soon. After ate, I took the medicine with a glass of water. I came back to the family room. There, I looked one of my cousins, Adiyah. She was two years old. She was not school yet. She pretended to call her mother with a phone that can’t work. Actually, she never knew her mother’s cellular phone number. It was so cute. All of people who looked her to be laugh. She made the situation to be noisy. I forgot my painful.
Around 17.00 pm, my parents came back but her parents didn’t come back yet. A few minutes later, her parents came back, she was so happy. And she screamed loudly. It made I was surprised. The house was noisy with voices until evening. Then, I was sharing with Erma, my friend. She came here with my uncle. Erma and I shared the events that happened with us. That spent long time in the evening. Then, my mother got me to have dinner. I had dinner. After that, the situation was silent. All of people slept already. Then, I went to bed. Next day, Monday, November 17th 2008, when my family came back to their house in Tanjung, I was studying in my class room.
Although my body was not health last Sunday, November 16th 2008, I stole feeling happy. Because I stayed at home with my cousins. And I didn’t feel alone again. My house was noisier than every Sunday which I stayed at home alone. I had many friends to share and watched film cartoons.
