TOMBOY. That’s the title I’ve been wearing lately. Even though I’m rough and dressed like a boy, I still have the instincts of a girl. My soul remains soft and sensitive, like a normal girls. When I sad, I will cry.
The difference is that I don’t display my sadness for others to see. I prefer to be alone. Let no one witness my weakness.
I was not like this before. I was a normal girl and dress like other girls too. I started to change since I lost my parent, who is gone forever because of a tragic accident. At that time, mom and dad had just returned from work. They were hit by a lorry until they got stuck under that vehicle. Since that accident, the sad episode of my life as the eldest child began.
I live in a poor state. When both my parents were still alive, our family was always pressed by poverty. Even though we living that life, but we through the days that rotate alternately, full of happiness and colors adorning that poor life.
I’m very grateful for the noble-hearted person Mr. Smith, who generously gave us a plot of land for us to take shelter and continue this life. Now, Mr. Smith is gone. We continue to live on this land as long as no one drives us away.
I just turned 17 years old. It seems that this year I will not be able to sit for the exam. Because I already quit school last year, that is since my parents leave forever. The results of my exam when I was 10th grade is pretty good too. With that approval, I qualified to get a job to support my two other siblings. Only now do I know how painful it is to be the head of a family. How difficult it is to bear the responsibility of a father. We should respect our parents. To carry this responsibility is not a few people who can do it. And I have been chosen to live life this way. I have been chosen to take on this great responsibility. Now I hide my appearance with the way I wear it and my attitude is rather rude. Deliberately making it really rude.
Since my parents leave forever, my siblings and I were often bullied by the village kids. I was almost raped. They are really bad! Likes to take advantage of weak people like me. A race that should be protected and loved. Don’t they feel sorry for us who have become orphans? At that moment I was determined to change.
With the savings, I started buying men’s clothes. I want to change my appearance. But not changing my gender and instincts. That is impossible for me to do. I’m still a normal woman, with a heart and feelings. I just don’t want to be bullied anymore, that’s all. I also don’t want my sisters to be victims of their barbarism. I must be strong, I must persevere. I have to be like a man because I am the backup for my siblings.
On my shoulders is a great responsibility, which my father and mother inherited. What can’t be done, I have to carry it no matter how heavy it is. Like carrying a block, loaded with hardship and sadness.
“Siso, what are you thinking about? Let’s eat.”
Christy, my younger sister has already served breakfast. This morning the menu is only bread and coffee. Simple and filling. Christy is really good at cooking.
So, we both decided that only she would do the chores like cooking, while I went out to work. The food was delicious. Me and my little brother never complained.
When my late mom was still alive, Christy was diligent in the kitchen to help her. Christy was still in the third grade and Caden, my little brother, is now in the sixth grade. She attend school in the afternoon session. So, before going to school Christy has already prepared the lunch. While Caden, he will help do some chores sometimes.
“Christy did you give the money for school expenses to Caden this morning?” I asked, wanting to be sure. I have given the money for the school expenses for Caden to Christy.
” Yeah. But today I gave a little more, because He said there is an extra class.”
“An extra class? Until what time?”
” He told me it’s until 4 pm “
” Owh ok, make sure you both take care of the house and don’t go anywhere.”
I glanced at the watch on my wrist. I bought this watch last year. It’s still beautiful and works well. I don’t care about the brand. As long as I can used is enough. The clock is showing 8 a.m in the morning. I have to hurry.
” Christy take care of yourself and Caden. I need to go.” I left the message and Christy just nodded.
I ride a mountain bike that my late father bought. It’s my favourite bike. A gift from my father in conjunction with my excellent results in the last exam I had. I used this bike wherever I go. It’s also a long way for me to cycle to work.
I work as an office girl or rather an office boy at a lawyer’s office in the city. That’s the only thing that is capable and in accordance with the existing approval. The salary is not much. And it’s not enough to support our siblings life. That’s why I do part-time job at night in a restaurant. It’s enough for me to support our life. I may not be able to give them luxury stuff. As long as they can all continue their education, that’s good enough for me. Their success is what I look forward to the most.
