By Deska Aulia Sari

In a small town lived a small family in their old house. This family consisted of father, mother, son and a daughter. The father named James was crazy about collecting unique things. Mrs. James was crazy about shopping. The 9-years-old daughter named Ann was a genius person. Beside the 14-years-old Son named Brandy was a naughty boy.

On a very hot day, Mr. James in brown coat hunted for the unique thing in an old shop which he never seen before. He opened the wood door. How happy he was when he saw that place full of many old unique things covered with dust. He rang the bell three times. And then an old man in black suit came forward to him. “Welcome in my shop sir, you can get anything what you want.” he said. “Of course, thank you”, James answered. He walked coming close to every unique things. Finally he chose the old electric calendar. Although, it appearance was so poor in quality but it still worked.

In their house, Brandy was disturbing Ann as usual. Brandy was so jealous with his little sister. He hoped his sister never born, so his parent could totally care about him. “I’m coming.” James screamed immediately. Ann and Brandy ran into him, “Horey father coming!” both of them screamed. “Oh ... my dear please stay away from me, I bring this one. Please don’t disturb me!” He said. Brandy blamed his sister as the cause of this condition. Their father didn’t care again with them.

At night, when everybody was sleeping, Brandy walked to the father’s bedroom. He stole his father’s calendar. “Because of this stupid calendar, now father don’t care about me anymore.” he whispered. Then, he changed the calendar format. He placed back it in the father’s desk.

In the morning, Brandy woke up, then he took a bath also went to the school. But, there was something strange. He felt this day same with yesterday. From woke up, got bad mark in the examination until found his father brought a new calendar. In the next day, he found that he still was 13 years old. Six days later he found he was 8 year old. He became panic since he couldn’t find his sister. He asked his father “father, where is Ann?” “Ann? Is she your girl friend?” His father said. Brandy just realized that the time ran back, it was the reason why his father didn’t know about Ann, she had not born yet.

Brandy tried to think how to solve this serious problem he had made. He must find that electric calendar, but now he was just 8-yeasr-old boy. He missed his little sister. He was so regret.

Brandy came out from his house. He saw his grandpa who had dead 6 years ago was sitting in front of his house. “Hi grandpa, what are you doing here?” brandy said. “I’m enjoy the scenery in here, why you so confused my dear?” grandpa asked. “Yeah, I’m confused about the date.” He answered. “You can check it in my calendar my dear, it is in my bedroom.” Grandpa said. Before Brandy went to the grandpa’s bedroom, he gave a big hug to his beloved grandpa who he missed so much.

Brandy just realized that his grandpa’s bedroom was became his father’s bedroom in the future. And the calendar’s position same with when he put it after he changed that calendar format on that night. Brandy promised would take care his little sister. Finally, he back to the real date.
