Aya immediately ran over to Aska who was smiling at Aya
" What's wrong ?" said Aya Yang worried But Aska looks ordinary
" What did Asta say" Aska smiled then got up and hugged Aya And Aya saw the bruises on Aska's legs
" Nda atit , Asta is not a battery" said Aska smiling again
" Masha Allah is a smart grandchild yes "mami said relieved Afraid Aska cried When she fell earlier
" Ade was already ecal oma" said Aska smiling who made Aya's eyes glazed and then hugged Aska And Afnan who saw that was walking casually towards them
" Aka uga wants to hug " said Afnan embrace Aya .
" Yes here" said Aya who chuckled hugging her two children.
" Oma also wants to be hugged " said mami
" Come come oma eluk ita ama" said Afnan who made mami laugh and the four of them hugged each other
Making Papi Sandi who saw it was smiling because Aya managed to make his two grandchildren were still happy even without Ferdi among them Because until today Ferdi is still unknown to his fate. Which makes Papi Sandi try to keep looking for him because he believes his son is still alive
" Wah ..curang ya , kok opa ngak invited hug " said papi .
" Cini opa let's hug ama will nice ice trim " said Afnan who then approached the opa Dan pulled his hand and then brought papi Sandi to the gazebo which made Wati and Erni quickly down so that the great master could sit .
" Yes yes this is delicious" said Papi Sandi who saw artificial marrow porridge bi Yam mixed with ice cream
Aya and Mami also followed to the gazebo and sat together while enjoying the porridge that had been prepared bi Yam from earlier to accompany their leisure time.
"' Any tan opa ?" aska

" Asta opa ade vinegar mix good ice trim or "said Afnan

" Yes a nice vinegar chip chip" said Afnan chuckle who made all of her laugh together .
" Thank you, Rabb, our family can still smile even though my brother has not returned" Aya said in his heart while smiling and enjoying the marrow porridge with greed
And they ate together and occasionally bribed each other and joked to Afnan and Aska Spent the afternoon waiting for dusk to come .And after that they will enter the big house .
***********
Elsewhere Ferdi sat by the door of the bamboo booth while accompanying Alan Yang who was still unable to sit He just turned left right to see the atmosphere of the house which they now occupy the Hut old and reot But still able to take shelter .
" Where are Mamat and Asih" said Alan staring at Ferdi
" So they went to the rice fields for the cassava harvest .He said to sell to "' Ferdi said
" Pity .. we've been troubling them a lot" Alan said
" Yes, how else, get up so we can go home" Ferdi said
" I've tried sir, even I regularly drink his herbs" said Alan Yang called master when there was no pa Mamat and Asih
Seeing the bamboo tree swaying rocking which gave rise to a sound of rubbing into rhythm.
" Yes mister, but until when" said the impatient Alan
" Either lan, I hope as soon as possible" said Ferdi who saw Pa Mamat coming carrying a cassava sack with Asih who brought cassava leaves Then Ferdi went down to help
" No need to want your feet still swollen Father is still strong son " said the old man down the sack of cassava because it was their food substitute for rice If not yet harvest rice And sometimes pa Mamat looking for fish using mesh for side dishes they eat .
" Asih let me bring " said Ferdi
" No need this kang ngak heavy kok , Asih kedapur first yes pa to cook fish and vegetables" said Asih
" Yes son, don't forget to make the sambal" said Pa Mamat .
" Yes pa" said Asih go to the kitchen
" Far away pa his field" said Ferdi
" just two kilo kang, it's the father is ordinary indeed like living in a remote village . Yes what else no one expected " said pa Mamat who was born and raised in the village
" You don't want to run into the city" Alan said when Mamat went up to the room and rolled up tobacco to smoke .
" Merantau does not have a school certificate how kang, people can live like this already grateful because our parents do not have anything" said pa Mamat
Ferdi who heard the words of pa Mamat could feel that the old man did not want to grandiose dream, because indeed his life was like this as it is and pa Mamat could be grateful to live it that's what he's got living in a remote village that is quiet and far away without crowds There are only neighbors and his brother Yang is 5 kilos away from his hut Yang also fared the same as pa Mamat
" What is school ?" alan says
" Four school till second grade, but stopped when our bridge broke up .And after a new year can be repaired But Asih no longer want to go to school .Oh yes boy Ferdi, sorry the last letter is not until Karna pa ujang fell in the river And his letter drifted " said pa Mamat .
" Hah... drifting " said Ferdi limp while staring at Alan .Now they are desperate for their quick return home
" Well .. trus how about pa ujang pa" said Ferdi
" Pa ujang survived, because the flood shrank in the afternoon nak .And they can continue the journey at night " explained pa Mamat
" God, nobody wants to rock and watch the river flow" Ferdi said
" No son, everyone is busy and tired of taking care of work .If we transport cassava must be patient bike ngak can pass because the road is slippery and muddy "' Said pa Mamat which made Ferdi and Alan only speechless because he heard the hard life pa Mamat in this village .
" How much money will it cost to build this road when it gets to the village" Alan said
" It can be up to tens of millions of kang" said pa Mamat and soon Asih also arrange food in the middle room
"' Pa , kang let's eat " said Asih
" O boy, let's go" said pa Mamat Yang and Ferdi sat Alan down to eat with a pillow
So they can eat together .
Grilled fish white rice, cassava leaf stew and sambal That's just their food this afternoon . Ferdi and Alan who saw it inevitably ate to survive and tried to be healthy until they could go home one day
" Let's eat 'em, today's dish is very good .Yesterday many fathers can fish as stored in barrels and some in the sun for salted fish Let it last if it fits the side dish " said pa Mamat smiled
" Yes pa" said Ferdi who took a rough breath And so did Alan Yang who had started to get used to their current distress .
