Wintang : What happen? Don’t U like school holiday? (Ada apa? Tidakkah kau menyukai liburan sekolah?)
Megha : I do, but not last holiday. (Aku suka, tapi nggak pada liburan yang lalu.)
Wintang : Why? (Mengapa?)
Megha : Because I always felt tired at the end of the day. (Karena aku selalu merasa lelah pada akhir hari.)
Wintang : What did U do? (Apa yang kau lakukan?)
Megha : I took care of all my siblings during the holiday. U know, I have two young sisters and one baby brother. (Aku menjaga semua saudaraku saat liburan. Kau tahu, aku punya dua adik perempuan dan satu adik bayi laki-laki.)
Wintang : What about your parents? Where did they go? (Orang tuamu gimana? Kemana mereka pergi?)
Megha : My dad died five years ago and my mom worked as usual. (Ayahku meninggal 5 tahun lalu dan ibuku kerja seperti biasa.)
Wintang : I am sorry about your dad. (Turut berduka tentang ayahmu.)
Megha : That’s OK. (Nggak apa-apa koq.)
Wintang : Did U do it yourself? Didn’t your mother ask somebody to take care of them? (Apa kau mengerjakannya sendiri? Tidakkah ibumu meminta seseorang membantu menjaga mereka?)
Megha : Yes, she did. Ratna usually helps us to take care of my brother and sisters. But she was sick last month. (Ya, dia melakukannya. Ratna biasanya membantu kami menjaga adik-adikku. Tapi ia sakit bulan lalu.)
Wintang : Why didn’t your mother find somebody else? (Mengapa ibumu tidak mencari orang lain?)

Megha : My mother and I had made a schedule for taking care of my baby brother. I followed it. (Ibu dan aku sudah bikin jadwal gimana merawat adik bayiku. Aku mengikuti jadwal itu.)
Wintang : Oh, I can image how tiring it was. What did your mother do before she went to work? (Oh aku bisa bayangkan betapa lelahnya. Apa yang ibumu lakukan sebelum berangkat kerja?)
Megha : My mother woke up early and prepared everything before she left. She bathed baby brother and two young sisters. In the afternoon she went home for one and a half hours. Then she was back to work and finally came home at 4 p.m. (Ibu bangun pagi dan menyiapkan segalanya sebelum kerja. Ia memandikan adik-adikku. Siangnya ia pulang satu setengah jam. Kemudian kembali kerja dan pulang jam 4 sore.)
Wintang : Oh, I see. U know, if I knew that U took care of your siblings, I would come to help U (Oh,a ku ngerti. Jika aku tahu kau menjaga adik-adikmu, aku akan datang untuk membantu.)
Megha : Really? But it was tiring. (Benarkah? Tapi itu melelahkan.)
Wintang : Yeah, but I want to know how it feels. (Ya, tapi aku pengen tahu gimana rasanya.)
Megha : What do U wanna feel? (Apa yang ingin kau rasakan?)
Wintang : Being an elder sister. I am the youngest child in my family. I don’t have any younger sister or brother. U are so lucky! (Menjadi kakak. Aku anak terakhir di keluarga. Aku nggak punya adik. Kau beruntung sekali.)
