Riki's grandpa experienced the grief and barely skipped the hard labor for at least five consecutive years.The rest had to protect the family in any possible ways. 

To erase that lingering pain, the three boys promised not to follow the crowd. For them, continuing the tradition is not an option. Unlike the majority, they pursued a different road. 

The old house is actually an abandoned building. Located far from the Seumike village, this old building was transformed into a 'school'. Since the early 1930s, no one has ever thought of running a school.

The villagers are good at taking care of cows and buffalos. Although Riki, Abdul, and Ghani grew side by side these animals, their intuition is sharper than everyone else living here. 

Having walked tirelessly, they eventually got home. It was so quiet and relief. The houses here are separated by large farms, accompanied by small barns on the other side of the road. The sounds of animals can be heard from a distance.

Three more hours the sun is ready to wake up. Unfortunately, the boys just closed their eyes. Their routine is always predictable. Leaving earlier, spending hours walking to reach the school, and returning home late at night.
