(S2) ~ Wulan Stories

Wulan then came to us, then helped cut vegetables.

"Where are your mom and dad going?" ask grandma.

"Go out and buy some meat for later, ma'am. If Grandma and Grandpa had just left for Om Anton's grave," replied Ma'am Wulan.

I saw Ms. Kokom and the mothers next to her whispering to each other.

"Congratulations Aunt Rasni is not coming?" sahutku.

Mbak Wulan also turned his head towards Mbak Rasni who was behind the house.

"Let it go, pity. Maybe she still does not understand that her husband is dead" replied Wulan.

"From when the hell, is Rasni like that?" ask Anita.

Mbak Wulan also told me about Mbak Rasni starting like this.

Wulan PoV's

Today our family mourns the passing of Omku, whose name is Anton. She was the only sister of my mother. We just received the news today, even though Om Anton died yesterday afternoon.

Om Anton died on the way to his place of work, he was riding an inter-city bus that he used to drive. But the fate of the fate received by Om Anton, the bus he drove accident because of the brake blong.

And more unfortunate, the bus suffered a fire so devoured the inside. But there are still items that do not burn completely, including Om Anton's wallet and his identity.

Evacuation to find the identity takes a long time, which makes them difficult to contact because there is no media to contact quickly, for example using a mobile phone

Om Anton's cell phone is gone along with his body. The police also gave news by coming to the house of Aunt Rasni. When he got the news, repeatedly Aunt Rasni was unconscious.

He nodded for a moment, and then cried again. She asked for her husband's whereabouts, then cried hysterically and was unconscious again.

All that happened over and over again, when we received news that in my village the night was considered the third night Om Anton died, we did a study at his home.

Aunt Rasni who was once a friendly, cheerful woman, is now drastically changed into a quiet person. Even when asked, he simply left without answering.

My parents and grandmother were worried about Aunt Rasni, so they told me to accompany her at her house. So that Aunt Rasni does not feel alone. Aunt Rasni who is usually diligent in prayer when ink never once I saw him to carry out the obligation, even for bathing he was always before magrib arrived.

The first day I accompanied him felt ordinary. When morning came, I cooked and helped wash her clothes, including her underwear. All I do is feel kasian and return the favor of them all this time.

Aunt Rasni always locked herself in the room, when eating I was willing to take her food I she was not late to eat. I used to pray and teach njai to the mosque, today I decided not to do it. I'm afraid that events that I don't want to happen, such as Aunt Rasni's depression to commit suicide.

The day passed until before Ashar, usually the time before Om Anton died he had gone to bathe, then salat. But at this time he just locked himself in the room, I tried to invite him to talk but he even went to avoid.

It was getting late in the afternoon, I saw the clock showing at 17:00 WIB. I prepared Aunt Rasni's clothes to wear when I finished the bath, after which I decided to force her to take a bath.

I stepped over to Aunt Rasni who looked glum in the living room chair.

"Tante, it's afternoon. Shower, yuk." Take me while holding his hand.

He took off my hand, and went to his room. The door was closed again, at first I thought Aunt Rasni was going to retreat, but my guess was wrong. He put on a pull made back, then stepped towards the bathroom.

Long enough he took a bath, from before the magrib until the magrib was over. Aunt Rasni came out of the bathroom, went straight into the bathroom, without greeting me in the kitchen.

After that, I picked up some novel books for me to read. Then I stepped towards the chair in the living room.

I read it carefully, but occasionally I looked up at Aunt Rasni's room which was right next to the room I was in.

I read the book long enough, from the end of the magrib until after Isya. But I saw no sign of Aunt Rasni leaving the room. I decided to stop reading the book.

I stepped back into the kitchen to heat up the food so as not to stale. I was reluctant to call Aunt Rasni to eat, because in my mind I thought she might have fallen asleep by the time she finished her bath.

It didn't take me long to heat up, after that I rearranged it at the dinner table. After that I decided to pray first, then rushed to go to my room.

I entered the room while carrying the book I had placed on the table near my room. The new clock shows at 20:15, these eyes also need time to sleep.

Alu lay down on my bed, then opened the book I had just read. I continued the story of this book, it felt exciting and penetrated in the soul. But I was listening to a voice like a person chatting, but there was only one voice.

I put the book on the bed and listened carefully to where the source of the sound was coming from. But the voice was heard from the direction of Aunt Rasni's room.

In my mind said, is aunt on the phone? I don't hear anyone else's voice. After all, there was no one besides me.

I decided to open my book again and continue reading. But Aunt Rasni still spoke, but Aunt Rasni's voice now sounded heavy.

It's not wrong that I heard, once in a while I heard Aunt Rasni mention the name Om Anton at that time. Sometimes the sound of Aunt Rasni sound a little moaning sound.

I was suspicious of his tone of voice. I decided to leave the room, to check the situation.I first went to Aunt Rasni's room.

Tok tok!

"Aunties. Have you slept yet?" call me.

But there was no response from Aunt Rasni. I decided to knock back on the door, but it suddenly felt like a cold air was hitting my skin. And at the same time Aunt Rasni opened the door.
