SHEE

Father gone

This week the weather is so sunny, sometimes the wind blows at once, the leaves of the big trees in the garden sway. Grandma Surin sits on the terrace and stares in silence.

Today the whole household is complete, Mrs. Keni is not in the staff's dormitory, Mr. Tur also does not go to the factory, little Shee is clinging to her father.

Mr. Tur: "Today we will continue the garden" Mr. Tur said pointing towards the garden across the road in front of his house, then his eyes looked at Shee waiting for his beloved little gril's reaction...

Shee: " Yeey" He's Prancing with joy

Mr. Tur : " What will you do for father?"

Shee just shook her head, she didn't know what to do. Mr. Tur was silent for a moment as he knew what Shee was right to do.

Mr. Tur : "Okay, can you put the mango in the sack?" Ask Mr. Tour to make sure.

Shee: "Yes..." Shee answered briefly while nodding her head.

Grandma Surin: "Grandma will help you, okay?" Grandma Surin said to Shee.

Shee was silent but nodded in response to her grandmother. Bu Keni was at the back of house, she was busy looking for a sack container then she rushed up to her husband.

Mrs. Keni: "Are two enough? Look at this!" Bu Keni said, both hands showing the sack container.

Mr. Tur : "Yes, that's enough, please just put it under, I'll take it later"

Mr. Tur, at that time was taking a pole beside the house after that he rushed upstairs to take the sack container, his eyes searched the terrace but could not find it, Shee who was standing near the sack shouted: "This is daddy!'

Mr. Tur : "Oh there...okay" Mr. Tur was a little surprised, a perfect coincidence, he immediately picked up the sack container.

Mr. Tur: "Thank you dear... But how can this father's beloved little daughder know that he is looking for a sack container?" Mr. Tur said then put all the things he was carrying on the floor and lifted his daughter high then kissing her cheek.

Shee laughed cheerfully, she was a little scared of heights but her heart was happy.

Mr. Tur picked up the harvesting equipment and carried it with one hand and his another hand hold Shee. They crossed the small road in front of his house and the distance is only limited by a small path between the house and the garden.

Grandma Surin followed behind and followed again by Mrs. Keni who had just come out by wiping her clothes, her wrists were still wet but there in front of her house there were already 3 rows of clothes that were drying and neatly arranged, that's why she only appeared when all people are already on the terrace and going to the garden.

Mrs. Keni has many tasks in the house that she cannot ignore. Likewise, after washing the dishes which made his wrists wet, he usually just wiped the clothes he was wearing without having a special rag.

Mr. Tur started his task, while little Shee had climbed up and was enjoying the guava fruit while sitting on a slightly tall branch. Usually she will climb and sit on the trunk of a tree and will come down when she feels full eating the fruit that she picks directly from the tree.

But that day Shee plucked only one and she went straight down and went to her father.

Shee: "This is for you dad..." Shee handed him a guava that she picked with her own hands for his father.

Even though Mr. Tur was concentrating on biting the fruit on another tree, he could never ignore his little daughter who ran towards him while handing him a guava fruit.

her little voice said softly, although it only sounded low but it was that little voice that often stirred his concentration, even though No matter how busy he was, Mr. Keni will respond with his gentleness.

Mr. Keni turned his face to Shee, he put the stinger beside his leg. Sitting on both bent legs, until their gazes are at same high level.

Mr. Tur : "What a tender this father's little daughder" He said while stroking Shee's hair.

Pak Tur took a bite of the guava fruit, one bite was enough to taste and express his feelings.

Mr. Tur : "Thank you dear, this is so sweet, dad loves it, do you want to try it too?"

It didn't take long for Shee to take a bite of the guava that was thrust at her, very curious about what her father had to say.

A moment later shee closed her eyes and closed her mouth tightly but raised her thumb towards her father.

Mr. Tur : "You're so funny, give a thumbs up but close your eyes" said his father, laughing amused.

Mr. tur: "What do you feel, dear?"

Shee: "Delicious" Shee said briefly

Mr. Tur: "Okay dear, now I understand, guava is a little sour but sweetness is more dominant so you are right if you do that." Mr. Tour said very understanding.

Mr. Tur: "Now I will continue my duties."

Mr. Tur : "you also have errands, don't forget that dear"

Shee: "Okay dad"

Mr. Tur smacked the fruit from the tree again, Shee immediately approached Grandma Surin and Mrs. Keni who were sitting relaxing on the mat while watching every move of Mr. Tur's pole from a little far distance away.

They saw Pak Tur pointing his pole at the fruit one by one and then twisting it from the bottom until the fruit was released from the stalk, he slowly lowered the pole to keep it in the pole basket.

Shee ran over and took the mangoes and then collected them in one place, Mrs. Keni and Grandma Surin did not stay silent seeing Shee's busyness, they helped Shee and then prepared a sack container, opened it and rolled it low.

The three of them put the mango in, did the same thing over and over again and was very compact. Until the sack was full, grandmother Surin unrolled it higher until there was a new space to put the mangoes that Pak Tur had picked.

Yesterday was a tiring day, today not all of them work together to do light things for each of them.

The mangoes that were at the tops of the branches seemed to have run out, Mr. Tour had been picking all around, even Shee's eyes could no longer find the mangoes that were still left on the tree.

Now it's Pak Keni's turn to go up to the tree, pick with his own hands and not use any tool, because the remaining mangoes are hard to reach.

Mr. Tur climbed the tree with agility, even looking too brave, but it was a very fateful day, when Mr. Tur had just stepped on the tree trunk very bravely without any hesitation.

Unexpectedly the wood had cracked and broken instantly. The wood fell at the same time as Mr. Tur, he was very surprised and immediately grabbed what he could, finally at a very tense moment he was able to grab a branch.

Mr. Tur was clinging with both hands, it was very hard to bear the weight of his body, because he was not used to it, as well as a very deep worry that enveloped his mind, could the small rod he was holding be strong enough to support his weight?, while he was at a fairly high altitude, cold sweat out all over his body, his hands were stiff, but he continued to hold on as hard as he could. Mrs. Keni, Shee and Grandmother Surin were also surprised when the wood fell very suddenly from above followed by a loud, startling sound, they were worried beyond their heads, looking to see if Mr. Tur was stuck, all eyes then looked up, they saw Mr. Tur hanging at the tree, suddenly they screamed wildly asking for help from their neighbors or whatever, soon a lot of people gathered, they moved very quickly while little Shee seemed to be silent, her gaze did not leave her beloved father, her tears could no longer be held back , her mind moved her tiny lips which she unconsciously repeated many times a short pray to her Lord :

"God, save my father... God, save my father" He repeated many times, his tears flowing down his cheeks, his body tense and motionless.

Mrs. Keni, who was also worried, turned her gaze towards Shee, when many people tried to help Mr. Tur, she approached Shee, turned her attention to the tense event, stood up deliberately in front of Shee, both hands grabbed Shee's body in her arms, she said: " Your father will be fine honey, you see, everyone is helping him"

It's true that Mrs. Keni's sharp feelings and what she has conveyed to her little daughter, People have succeeded in bringing down Mr. Tur.

Together they carried him home and laid him down, but Mr. Tur was like one heart with Shee, he was silent and did not make a sound. His eyes immediately searched for Shee but when he saw the little beast who had just entered and approached him, his eye movements became calm while taking deep breaths he remained silent.

Shee held his father's hand while sitting beside him she laid herhead on the hand she was holding...:" Dad...." she said very quietly.

Shee's voice, although very soft, was always able to raise his spirit to become stronger, he slowly moved his hand, Shee immediately raised her head, Mr. tur gently stroked She's hair even without saying any word.
