In This City

The street looks empty. There are millions of people going to their hometowns. It is the biggest moment in the Islamic calendar. Iedul Fitri is the celebration of finishing the fasting month. In Indonesia, there is a tradition. It is called "Mudik".
Mudik is a tradition where urban people go to their hometown. Mudik in Iedul Fitri is the largest human movement from city to city.

In this city

I have been four years here. I did not go to my hometown. I miss my family, but what can I do? I do not go to my hometown. I miss my family, but what can I do? Transportation is very expensive today, and my income can not cover it.
The city center becomes crowded. People go shopping to buy new clothes, foods, and other things to prepare for Eid
I am not sure when I can change my condition. I still here in this city. The city of Bekasi. The urban city. I am far from my parents and brothers.
This is my city today. I live here. I raise my kids here. I know that I have a hometown where I was born.
I hope that in the next year, there will be a change in my life. I can afford to pay the transportation costs to go hometown. Iedul Fitri, I am here in this city.
