Visiting Tjong Kim

I do not know his complete chinese name but the local name is Marjono Budi Sukrisno. We usually called him Tjong Kim (昌金?). He was my highschool batch 74 mate. In recent time he got a backbone cancer that made him paralysed. This day at 14.00 I was at his home in Gang Kebondalem I Magelang merely to visit him. It was true he just lay on bed. His wife faithfully looked after him. (Indahingsih told me that the woman looked after him was her third wife. The first and second wifes abandoned him). About a half hour I was there just to support him. We talked about our time when were in highschool.

This day seemed usual. I did my early breakfast. I joined the office rollcall. I went to Magelan to visit Tjong Kim. On the way there I stopped by Salaman to meet Lik War and Lik Santo. On the way back I stopped by Giant Supermarket to buy orange juice. In maghrib time I broke my fasting on time. And finally I did the night prayer (tarawih) in Al Arif Mosque.
