38. Old House

Bosen also when I wake up all I find is to return to being this beautiful Amini, I want to accept this situation or situation that is only for a while, hopefully. But once again I'm sick of it, so sick of waking up I don't want to. It feels to wake up every now and then with the same position and situation is very tiring.

Always wondering what to go through today, what to do until I don't understand what else and how. I saw bad days and after I recap my days here all I have to do is write in Amini's diary, maybe in the future useful, but here I have to explain that I am Amini, no more and no less. It could be dangerous if I, the other person, could interfere in a complicated and dark family matter.

There was a knock on the door, then I opened it and Batara knocked on the door. With an innocent look she walked into the room and told me to sit down .

"Why? what was? " i asked him because this time he had grown up once he looked serious.

"I just miss, we haven't seen and played in a long time. " Say him while closing the door.

"Tumben." I replied confused by his behavior.

"I was living with oma opa so happy because no one nagged me, "he said with a happy smile.

"So my pain is luck huhaa? " ask me while stroking her hair.

"Yes. hahahahaa. " Rispy laughter is full of happiness.

"You know there's a well in this complex? " ask me.

"Know... usually my friends take water there" he replied.

"You feel a strange air? " many more.

"No. just plain, just a well. Don't tell me you're like a mother who worries about weird things. Because I asked the same thing. " The answer is confused.

"Are you asking the same thing? it's like how it is, ah forget it. " I said confused.

"Don't be like mom, just relax, I'll take care of you. " Advice from a little man.

We kept chatting about Batara during her stay at the oma opa house, very exciting and felt in love and pampered as a grandson. But I feel Mr. Broto a little limiting the meeting with the Asmirah family, just yesterday because there is no place for Batara so it must be deposited there.

Mr. Broto's voice called asking us for breakfast. We both came to the dinner table and ate the boiled cassava that had just been harvested. It felt so good and savory, did I have to learn the ancient recipe here in order to cook my family and friends in the future. That's a good idea, as I seek knowledge here, so I don't go crazy.

"Where's mom ? " Tanya Batara.

"Your mother went to study. " Answer Mr. Broto.

"Suturing? " Tanyaku.

"Yes like that, he was gathering with his friends in the next town. " Answer Mr. Broto.

"Sir, I'd love to visit your old father's house, before this. " My request to Mr. Broto is because this is a chance because Asmirah does not exist.

"Why do you want to go there? " Task Mr. Broto and I'm confused as to what to answer.

"Just want to, shouldn't we know about our predecessor sir? " Answer me as much as possible to remain calm.

And finally Mr. Broto agreed to take me to the old house Mr. Broto, I and Batara are very excited and very happy. We got ready before we left and headed for the old house.

"Sir... Amini is very happy here. " Say me with a big smile.

"Batara is also. This house although small but the yard is very spacious and delicious to play. " Batara said while eating rambutan fruit.

"There are so many memories of childhood, behind there is a river that you used to swim. " Said Mr. Broto full day and opened the door of the house allowing us to enter.

Because this house is no longer occupied I think it will be spooky and dusty, in fact this house is very well maintained. The living room as well as the family room there are 2 bedrooms and a spacious kitchen, an ancient kitchen and even this house at the back of it there is a well and a bathroom is outside. While going to the kitchen was still exactly the same as my vision where Miss Diajeng was killed and how it happened, I suddenly cried.

"Sir, later if you are older, leave this house for me yes." said Batara.

"Why do you want this bamboo house, son? " ask mr. Broto.

"This half-brick, cold half-woven house is very comfortable, so I want to stay here, " I said.

"Why do you like this house? " ask Mr. Broto in wonder.

"Yes sir yes. " Batara ngeyel.

"This house is your grandmother's house, but your grandfather chose to live in a nice house. Equally, you also choose a good and decent home for your children. " Light sir Broto.

"This house is worth it sir, later it can be renovated to repair the building, or even in the future, the land and its buildings become expensive. " Say me while remembering in the future what this area becomes.

"Where do you learn about assets and the future? " Task Mr. Broto in wonder.

"From mom, mom said our house in the future will be an expensive neighborhood. " Answer me.

"Hm... You also think so and still take good care of this abandoned house, because if you go back about a few meters there are the graves of your grandmothers and the tombs of people around here. Drink the water in this jug, very fresh. " Say Mr. Broto while taking a pitcher of drinks.

"Well, the water is very fresh. " Say Batara.

"This is the source water, at the end there is a source that is very guarded by people here. The river behind is beautiful and clear. Well here if the summer is not dry. Only the river water shrinks. " Light sir Broto.

"Come.we take a walk sir and visit grandma's grave. " Say me.

We also walked to the back, seen next to there is a house that may be Sri's house, and many more houses with a distance between the houses that are far away, it's like a house in the middle of a forest because the streets are dirt and surrounded by many trees. We visited my grandmother's grave, and Broto told us to pick jasmine and roses around the tomb, which was treated here.

My father introduced us to my grandmother as grandchildren and apologized for never taking us to visit her. After we are from the tomb, we continue to continue to the river that Mr. Broto talked about, the river is very clear according to Mr. Broto. Though in the future there is almost no river this silent even brown water.

Batara is very happy and permission to bathe in the river, Batara and father swim while I just play water. Seeing the scenery here was so beautiful that we forgot the time, after playing in the river we returned to my grandmother's house. While on the road there are friends of Mr. Broto who say hello, they hug and miss each other.

We were asked to stop by and prepare food, the food was good, botok vegetables cassava leaves and anchovies served to us. Mr. Broto said that this friend of his is his little friend and always misses the cuisine of his friend's mother because Mr. Broto often plays here. I even met a kid who was my age. Even the talk between these fathers was about matchmaking.

Batara asked Mr. Broto to stay at grandma's house, he wanted to play longer and find friends. I also want it, because there may be a lot of information that I can get in this house.

But Mr. Broto refused because of a lot of work Mr. Broto. But Batara was angry and wanted to stay. Inevitably Mr. Broto obeyed him just to stay 1 night only. Mr. Broto entrust us to his friend who is already considered a brother. Mr. Broto said we can stay at the house of Mr. Yadi and his wife Minah. During the day can take a nap at grandma's house but if the night is at Mr. Yadi's house, and will be picked up tomorrow. We're very happy.

I have to take the best chance possible, this is 1 night that will be long.
