This morning I started my day with a cup of hot, fragrant, and delicious coffee. The morning atmosphere in Cunda was so peaceful, with only the sound of birds and the passing of vehicles on the main road.
While enjoying my coffee, I prepared bread to be delivered to my favorite shops. This morning routine has become part of my daily routine delivering bread to various shops around Cunda and Lhokseumawe city.

The sunny weather made the journey easier and more enjoyable, although traffic was sometimes a bit heavy around the city center. After completing my bread delivery, I continued my activities to the rice fields. There, the air felt different fresh and full of the scent of wet earth.
I spent some time clearing weeds growing on the edges of the rice fields. This work was quite tiring, but there was a certain satisfaction in seeing the land tidied up and ready for successful rice growth.

However, as I was busy pulling weeds, I suddenly felt something cling to my leg. When I looked, I saw a bloodsucker (pacat) sucking blood there. In Acehnese, this animal is often called "u," and by this time, it was already looking fat from the blood it had sucked.
I quickly removed it and washed my feet in a small ditch at the edge of the rice paddy. While a little ticklish, this is a common occurrence for farmers in tropical regions like ours a small part of the struggle to keep the land productive.

As afternoon approached, I rested on the embankment, enjoying the gentle breeze blowing through the rice paddies. It had been a tiring day, but there was a sense of satisfaction in seeing all the work progress smoothly.

Every step of the day felt meaningful from the aroma of morning coffee, the journey to deliver bread, to the struggle in the rice paddy. All were part of today's energetic and hard-working activities.
