"Sebelum sampai ke rumah ibuku, aku selalu memikirkannya di teras atau bahkan di jalan, menyapu.

She had a light way of sweeping, as if removing the dirt were not as important as moving the broom over the ground. Her way of sweeping was symbolic; so airy, so fragile, with a broom she tried to sweep away all the horrors, all the loneliness, all the misery that had accompanied her all her life.
