Listen to The Parents

Have you ever got an accident that changes your life? Well, I had an experience about accident, and this accident make me learn about the important of parent’s advice. It happened 5 years ago, when I was in senior high school.

It was lebaran day; or most of muslim call it by Idul Fitri. It is the biggest festival in Islamic rituals. Lebaran Day is a wrap-up of Ramadhan, the fasting month that comes as the finished of Ramadhan. After praying, as usual my families will gather to visit the other family. We gathered to enjoy delicious cake and also a glass of orange flavored syrup. Laughing together and telling about everything that made us happy. At that time, my uncle came to my house and invited me for a trip to grandma's house. In That moment my uncle challenges me to ride motorcycle by myself, because several days before I practiced to ride motorcycle every day. For the first, I was hesitant but I decided to invite my sister to go with me.

Several hours later, I prepared and told my parents about my uncle’s challenge. When I asked permission to my parents, they initially barred. They said that I was beginner and my grandmother’s house is too far but I still insisted and decided to go because my uncle called and said that he was waiting at grandma's house. In short, in the afternoon I immediately went eventhough I am not too familiar about the signs and I was not sure where the road to Grandma's house but at that moment I was really brave to go as a beginner rider.

While on the trip, I ride fast because I felt likes a good rider than my sister who cannot ride a motorcycle. I will show my skill on ride a motorcycle, without caring that I was a just beginner to ride a motorcycle. Suddenly, I got a wrong road and would turn toward the right direction. Unfortunately, when I would to turn around there was a speeding motorcycle that bumped me and my sister. First, I did not understand what happened, but after that accident occurred, I realized the crash, I sit on the floor, and it far from my motorcycle. Luckily, at the time there are people who help us, because the perpetrators was fled and left us in the bad condition.

After that some people help, and check my sister and I condition after a bad accident. I tried to not back at home. Finally I went to my grandmother’s house carefully with different speed. I like a beginner who just tries to practice, because it was slower than before. An when my sister and I arrived, my aunt asked “what happen with you?” why you look so scare and pale?” in trembling voice I told what happen with us. I beg to my aunt to did not tell with my father, but My father suddenly call to my grandmother’s house, he asked about my sister and I, he asked my aunt “did my child arrived there? She was beginner rider and I worry she got a bad thing in the way”. My aunt said yes, they arrived several minutes ago.

At the end, when I would go home, my uncle followed me at the back. He wanted to make sure his niece to be safe. At home I told that accident to my parents and they worried and advice to more focuses and do not forget to pray before going somewhere. After that until now I am afraid to go to a place without asking permission to my parents. Because I do not know what will happen if I go without tell and consult with my parents.
