Selamat malam, Dimas! Apa kabar? Kamu makan? Kamu tidur?
Good evening, Dimas! How are you? Are you eating? Are you sleeping?
- Pak Dimas
Ya, Bu. Saya makan jam tujuh, jam setengah satu, dan jam enam. Saya tidur mulai jam sepuluh.
Yes, Mum. I eat at seven, at half past twelve and at six. I sleep from ten.
- Ibu Dimas
Ayah dan Ibu bangun jam lima. Rekan kerja kamu bagaimana?
Dad and I get up at five. And your colleagues? What are they like?
- Pak Dimas
Mereka baik. Ada rekan kerja baru. Dia tinggal di rumah dengan kucing.
They're nice. And I've got a new colleague, who lives in a house with a cat.
- Ibu Dimas
Dengan kucing?! Dimas, kamu takut pada kucing! Ada kucing di kantor kamu?
With a cat?! Dimas, you're afraid of cats! Do you have a cat at the office?
- Pak Dimas
Bu, saya tidak takut. Ya... Sedikit.
Mum, I'm not afraid. Well... a little.
- Ibu Dimas
Makan, tidur, dan jangan terlambat, Dimas. Selamat tidur!
Eat, sleep and don't be late, Dimas. Good night!

Bu, saya tidak pernah terlambat.
Mum, I'm never late.
That night, at three o'clock, the old clock on Dimas's bedside table stops.
Senin. Jam enam. Tapi Pak Dimas tidak bangun. Dia tidur.
Monday. Six o'clock. But Dimas doesn't get up. He's asleep.
Pak DimasJam berapa? Jam saya berhenti!
What time is it? My clock has stopped!
Di teleponnya, jam setengah sembilan. Setengah sembilan!
His phone says half past eight. Half past eight!
- Pak Dimas
Tidak! Saya terlambat!
No, no, no! I'm late!
Hari ini Pak Dimas tidak mandi, tidak sarapan, dan tidak ke kafe.
Today Dimas doesn't have a shower. He doesn't eat breakfast. He doesn't go to the café.
At the café at number 7, Rina looks at the empty table by the window.
RinaSudah jam delapan. Meja tiga kosong. "Teh tanpa gula" kita di mana?
It's already eight, and table three is empty. Where's our 'Tea without sugar'?
At the office. You are at your desk; the desk next to yours is empty.
Jam sembilan lewat sepuluh. Pak Dimas belum ada. Baru kali ini!
Ten past nine, and no Dimas. That's a first!

Waktu kecil, setiap Juli saya ke desa, ke rumah Nenek.
When I was little, every July I was in the countryside, at my grandmother's.
- Pak Dimas
Di sana ada kucing jantan. Besar, hitam, galak sekali.
There was a tomcat there. Big, black and very fierce.
Pak DimasSuatu malam, dia di tempat tidur saya. Di wajah saya! Umur saya lima tahun.
One night he was in my bed. On my face! I was five.
Di wajah Bapak?! Aduh...
On your face?! Oh dear...

On your face?! Oh dear...

Sejak malam itu saya takut pada kucing. Semua kucing.
Since that night I've been afraid of cats. All cats.
Miko melihat Pak Dimas. Miko tidak galak. Dia hanya lapar.
Miko looks at Dimas. Miko isn't fierce. He's just hungry.
- Pak Dimas
Ya sudah. Kamu boleh duduk di sini. Tapi jangan di atas komputer saya!
All right, all right. You can sit here. But don't sit on my computer!
That evening, at home, three new alarm clocks stand on the kitchen table.
Sore hari Pak Dimas menulis daftar baru.
In the evening Dimas writes a new list.
- Pak Dimas
Satu: tiga jam. Dua: jangan terlambat, Dimas!
One: three clocks. Two: don't be late, Dimas!
Dan tiga? Pak Dimas melihat kertasnya lama sekali. Lalu menulis:
And three? Dimas looks at the paper for a long time. Then he writes:
Pak DimasTiga: Miko tidak hitam. Tidak galak. Dia abu-abu.
Three: Miko isn't black, and he isn't fierce. He's grey.
