Early on Sunday morning, Clara woke up a little ahead of her mother. He had to cook and prepare breakfast.
Seeing that the Father and Mother had woken up, Clara also greeted him: “Good morning My dear Fathers and happy Sunday"
“Good morning also dear”, reply Mr-Mama simultaneously while kissing Clara's forehead.
"This morning I am very happy and my heart is peaceful. I also grew happy when I was able to worship together with my parents. Before, it was me and Mama who always worshiped", said Clara.
“This is my shirt and suit, I have ironed”, Clara said as she placed it on the chair.
“Iya, son. We just get ready, so as not to be late later”, said Mr. Clara.
“Ia, Sir. Oh yes, I took a shower or Mama?, asked Clara to Mama.
“You go, Son. Ehh, but the bath should not be long yes!, ordered Mama Clara.
“OK, Mom. At most 2 hours, hahaha, kidding!", replied Clara laughing as she headed for the bathroom.
**
After Clara, Father, and Mother finished bathing, they had breakfast.
"Let's have breakfast, Mr-Ma. We don't eat any more in the middle of the road, hehehe" Clara joked.
Mama: "Hehehe, you can do it, son. Like on the bus"
Indeed Clara deliberately more cheerful and laughing, to reduce her sadness and her parents, because soon they will be separated.

"Indeed, my father said, after wearing his shirt and suit, my father looks steady and dashing, does not look like ompung-ompung (ompung\= grandfather) even though there are already among us his children who are married. My mother also looks very beautiful wearing a red kebaya and a bun stuck to the back of her head", muttered Clara while looking at her parents.
While Clara wears a red dress to be in harmony with her mother. He also did not forget to install eyelashes so that his eyes look beautiful beat the heavenly nymph.
At 09.30 WIB, Clara and her parents left for the church.
The trip to the Church takes 10-15 minutes because it has to walk. There is no Bus/Bis or Angkot as in the cities. Let alone going to the Church, going to the market (traditional tax) is still on foot, as well as school children must walk.
They arrive early in the Church (as the saying goes: Better to Wait Than Late). All of Clara's friends, both men and women, suddenly looked at Clara, as if to say: "Wouww, how beautiful Clara is". Clara who knew it just threw a smile and immediately sat on the empty seat between her parents. They prayed first, then quietly waited for the worship to begin.
**
In Clara Church, the worship is only two sessions, namely: 08.00 WIB - Sunday school children worship and 10.00 WIB - public worship (teenagers, adults, and parents).
**
(Church bells ring a sign of entry and worship will begin)
The service only lasts 2 hours. During the service, Clara's mood was very calm and peaceful.
At the end of the event, Clara prayed (after folding both hands):
"Lord, I beg you and leave all my worries to you. Lead and guide me every step of the way. So do my parents, Lord, bless and protect them"
Not long after, the show was over. Each congregation was greeting each other. Clara hugged her Father, also hugged her Mama and said: "I love you mom". They also went home.
Every Sunday, Clara's parents stopped doing activities in the fields. Because for Christians Sunday is a day of rest or a day of glorifying the Lord, and is very much reflected in the activity. Likewise with other farmers, do not (can) go to their fields/fields.

CLARA'S MEMORY:
I still remember when sitting on the SD bench, Mama always watched my movements through the gaze when visiting at the house of relatives or at the home of friends Mr-Mama.
Also at home before leaving, Mama had already made some agreements for our children without distinction, both the eldest and the youngest.
First, take care of your manners.
Second, sit quietly.
Third, Always use a drink (therefore as a form of respect to the homeowner).
I once wanted to play with the owner's child while visiting my parents' friend's house, immediately Mama's eyes were sharp on me, like sign language, without saying words. I also sat back down.
When eating together is like that, it should give precedence to older people. There is no term youngest or smallest child first. Perhaps (partially) in other families the youngest child comes first, but in our family there is no such system. When the older one had already taken the rice, it was only followed until the younger one.
**
So thanks to her Mama, Clara was used to eating quietly. And, he felt better for not interrupting the comfort of the others.
**
CLARA'S MEMORY:
If you are very relaxed and not too hard to educate me. Enough of the good habits that you have. The Father has always been a special role model for me even though he rarely worshiped at church. But one day, I am sure you will be able to change.
I want to be like the Father who is always friendly to anyone, both those who already know and those who have not, for example: "When walking, every passing always say hello 'Mari, Mister, Bu', for example', with a big smile". So, no wonder if I sometimes SKSD (Sok Kenal-Sok Near) with people who cross paths with me.
I also once said:
Do not be angry or discouraged if greetings and smiles are unrequited. Once or twice, but more reciprocated with a greeting and even a smile.
I believe that good intentions will always bear fruit. The special example of Mr-Mama has been recorded strongly from the small me to succeed in shaping my personality as it is today. Thank you, Mama!

MOTIVATION OF CLARA:
A smile can make a day more enjoyable; a smile also includes highly recommended worship; there is no pretentious label when there is good intention to please others.

Sunday was very good for Clara. She would miss such times when she was already wandering and away from her parents.
Clara also prepared all her equipment slowly to go to continue college. Stayed tomorrow with her parents.
