8 Goddess of Flower Sanggana
Stone Eyes 11: The Full Meeting of Weeping
*Maut on the Throne of Baturaharja (Eye of Stone)*
“Bopooo!” shouted Ningsih Dirama in tears as she waved her hand.
“Nini... Ningsih?” demang Yono Sumoto said stuttered. His voice trembled finely because he was very surprised. “Am I too old? Until see the no-no.”
“Bopooo! It's me Ningsih!” yell again Ningsih. While crying he hurried down from the pedati, but the pedati was still moving about to enter the yard of the house.
Surina Asih who heard Ningsih's scream was just wildly helpless. Soul struggling.
Surprise also struck Rumih Riya and the old servants who were inside the house, when they faintly heard the screams of Ningsih Dirama.
Demang Yono Sumoto was completely engulfed in doubt, to the point that he was hard pressed to welcome the arrival of Ningsih who ran with tears.
“Bopooo! Huuu..!”
Ningsih Dirama directly hit the hugs of his father's legs with a broken cry. While Demang Yono Sumoto stood trembling withstanding the turmoil of excitement that seemed difficult to come out. His pair of eyes had already shed tears as he looked at the head of the woman who was hugging his legs. His right hand moved slowly but trembled, about to touch the woman's head.
“He Is Ningsih Dirama. He is my son. His face is very similar. Her lips are still red..” Demang Yono Sumoto said inwardly, trying to convince herself that she was not hallucinating. Then he said slowly but heavily, “Nduk...”.
Ningsih Dirama immediately looked up at his father's old face, showing his face that had been soaked in tears.
“Ningsih home, Bopooo! Don't waste Ningsih anymore, Bopooo!” ningsih said in her tears.
“Huaaa!” Instantly it roared Demang Yono Sumoto in the cry of a father. His heart felt very sliced in memory of his decision which he later valued very cruel. His deep sense of regret was again expressed. This was his most emotional cry as a father and a man.
He hurriedly raised his two daughters arms and hugged her tightly.
“Excuse Bopo, Nduk. Forgive your evil bopomu! Huuu..!” lament Demang Yono Sumoto while crying fiercely.
The soldiers guard the house and servants who are around until carried away by the flow of the atmosphere of haru and sad. The same thing was experienced by Anjas, Tirana and Gurudi.
“Ningsih!” Suddenly there was a shrill female voice call from the porch of the house.
Ningsih Dirama and the others immediately looked towards the terrace. There already stood Rumih Riya who behind him stood three servants. Everyone crying. Rumih Riya now no longer uses a cane to walk.
Looking at the face of the woman who was hugging her husband, Rumih Riya gasped. Because, the woman is clearly Ningsih Dirama, her daughter who has been missing for more than twenty years.
“Mboook!” shouted Ningsih Dirama while releasing her embrace to her father. He was about to run to his mother who he saw getting older.
“Ningsiiih!” rumih Riya screamed hysterically while crying and walking limping down from the terrace.
Bruk!
Rumih Riya suddenly fell unconscious on the terrace floor because she could not bear the emotion of happiness that raged inside her chest and mind.
“Mboook!” shouted Ningsih Dirama surprised.
“Rumih!” said Demang Yono Sumoto surprised.
“Ndorooo!” the screams of the servants while hastily coming to the body of his female master.
“Mboook, don't die, Mboook!” lament Ningsih Dirama while shaking her mother's body.
“Mother, Grandma is not dead,” said Tirana who was also already among them.
“Let Bopo pick up your mother, Nduk,” said Demang Yono Sumoto about to lift up his wife's body.
“Let me lift Mom, Bopo!” said Anjas Perjana softly to her in-laws. Seeing Demang Yono Sumoto's physique, Anjas was worried that his in-laws would have a hard time.
“Who are you?” ask Demang Yono Sumoto.
Stunned Demang Yono Sumoto and the servants. Demang immediately remembered that the father of his grandson was a king.
“Sincerely slave, Gusti Prabu!” said Demang Yono Sumoto while hurriedly prostrating near the feet of Anjas Perjana.
The servants who gathered around the place became prostrate in their respective places.
Anjas Perjana, Ningsih Dirama and Tirana became surprised to see the actions of Demang Yono and his servants.
“Wake, Bopo. Don't do that!” said Anjas while hurriedly leading Demang Yono to stand up. Then he said to the others, “Wake up all of you!”
Then with a gallant Anjas lifted the body of Rumih Riya and brought her into the room. The others also followed towards the room.
“Hihihik..!” gurudi laughed as he walked in behind.
Marti and the other servants looked at Gurudi in astonishment. Being looked at like an alien, made Gurudi laugh even more.
“Pak Jumung, please bring Mbakyu Surina in!” pinta Ningsih Dirama to her old man's maid.
“Iya, Ndoro,” said the older man from Demang Yono Sumoto.
“All of you, clean and tidy the room for Ningsih and her husband, also for Gusti Empress Tirana. We will also celebrate a three-day party for the return of my daughter,” Demang Yono Sumoto told his six-member congregation.
“I'm sorry, Bopo. It is better not to throw a party, because it will provoke danger,” Anjas told Demang Yono.
“Why, Gusti Prabu?” ask Demang Yono Sumoto.
“Let me tell you,” replied Anjas.
“Bumung, who are you carrying?” asked Demang Yono Sumoto when he saw two of his male servants passing in front of the room by carrying a female body. He immediately walked to the door.
“This... this is Surina, Ndoro,” replied Jumung but timidly.
“No! Take it outside again and throw it on the street! His sins will not be forgiven!” shouted Demang Yono Sumoto suddenly furious.
The anger made the men afraid.
“Do not, Bopo!” ningsih shouted quickly, making the servants not directly carry out the orders of his employer.
Ningsi immediately approached his father. He took his father's old hand. While crying, Ningsih persuaded her father.
“Peasiness Mbakyu Surina, Bopo. Ningsih already knew what Mbakyu's crime was against me, but it's been a long time. Please don't kick Mbakyu, Bopo!”
Meanwhile, Surina just glanced wildly over there to here without being able to make a sound or move. His body is still in a condition of stain.
“Bopo, Surina I can treat. Hopefully his body and mind can be healthy again,” Anjas told his in-laws.
Demang Yono Sumoto was silent for a moment, trying to temper his anger. Surely he would be presumptuous if he insisted on rejecting the good advice of a king.
“Alright,” said Demang Yono Sumoto at last. Then he told Jumung, “Bring Surina to his room!”
When moving to the Uruk Sowong Academy, Surina's condition was still normal and her crimes had not been revealed. So he had his own room in the house. Demang Yono Sumoto also made room for Ningsih, hoping that one day Ningsih would come home.
“Ningsih...” call Rumih Riya slim. He was already human.
“Mbok, I'm here!” sahut Ningsih quickly approached her mother on the bed, then grabbed her hand.
At that instant, Rumih Riya returned teary-eyed. He held onto Ningsih's face, as if to make sure that the face he saw was not a mirage.
“Nduuuk!” call Rumih Riya while pulling her daughter and hugging her, inviting her to cry together.
The atmosphere was sad and haru again created in the room. (BH)
