Awet Muda
“Just
exercize biking, Pak?” She greeted on her way.
“Yes, Bu (mam), to keep healthy. You are also healthy Bu
because you exercize every day by sweeping the street. That’s why you are,
‘awet muda’, i.e. ever looking young.”
“Ha. Ha.” she laughs happily since there were someone
saying, congratulating her, she’s ‘awet muda’, though she might be as young as
a woman having grand-children already. Now, for the first time perhaps, she
realized, is grateful, proud having an honorable, not a humble, despicable job.
