The two women of different generations looked over. His forehead frowned when he saw the four of us.
"Where are you going?" ask a woman who is about 40 years old.
"We want to go to Parentas village, Ma'am" replied Kak Lastri.
"really? Hmm, yes already then, we just go up," said the woman.
The road is getting more uphill. Our breath was like we had half left. But those two people, they did not look tired at all.
Irma and I paused for a moment, while Lastri and Tika were still tailing behind the two old men. Just as I was about to squat down to unwind, suddenly the old mother who was already over middle-aged immediately turned her head towards me.
"Slave of ayeuna mah, arogoan! Dembere throw sakitu gen, mani geus luh," he said. (Child of the day is spoiled! Just walk this way, already complaining)
"Sake it up, Ni. Da cape!" whinek. (Awhile, Grandma. Dingy)
"His, pek ari hayang kepeutingan mah. Mangkanging loba maung in leuweung," continued the grandmother. (Yes, whatever if you want to stay. There are many tigers in the forest)
Hearing the tiger, I stood up. Irma and I broke our intention to rest.
"Miss! Wait!" shout Irma. He then pulled my hand to run after them.
Our breath grew stifled from running, but the grandmother chuckled at us. As for the other woman, she only commented on the smile of seeing our arrival.
Finally, we continued our journey while telling stories. The old grandmother told me a little about the history of Parentas village. They also told about the mumps disease that often afflicts residents there. Even some residents who are old, consider if the disease is a curse of the elders. I don't know, but we think it's just a myth.
So engrossed in storytelling, without feeling we have passed a remnant of an ancient building on the left-right of the road.
"Let's read the do'a asking for safety first" said the woman who was younger than the grandmother.
We scrunched up our eyebrows. Actually we were curious, but seeing the two people especially praying, we followed him.
"What exactly are we doing that for?" many wonder.
"We have reached the village gate. Everyone who enters this village, is obliged to pray so that his soul is spared from the influence of evil spirits" said the woman.
Aish ... fur kudukku immediately stood up to hear the narration of the villagers. Ish, why should his observation go to an area that has various myths like this, anyway? I grumbled in my heart.
Not far from the village gate, I saw the students and students gathered in the village room. Apparently, the village chief's office was located just a few meters after the village gate. I, Irma, Kak Lastri and Tika immediately joined the students. Surely after we say goodbye to the two women of different generations earlier.
"Finally, what awaited came as well" Susan told us.
We just looked at each other to hear Susan's insinuations.
"Already, the important thing is that they have come safe" Aji told Susan. "Yes, Res, Ka, Ma, Las, please join the others" said aji. We nodded and immediately walked towards the group of children sitting in the room.
"Well children, it's the division of the group. On the sheet the group leader has clearly stated whose house you will occupy for this week. I hope you can keep your attitude. Never embarrass the school's good name. And obey the rules and regulations that have been made by the host. Understood!" the student teacher said firmly.
"Understand sir!" answer the students.
"Yes, if you understand, please gather according to their respective groups!" teacher orders the school again.
The four of us just looked at each other. Because it was late, so we didn't know about the division of the working group.
"Come on!" Suddenly Aji's voice surprised us.
"Come where?" my many.
"Yes, find Karyo's house" replied Aji
"Sir Karyo?" Irma asked while frowning.
"Yes, mr. Karyo. He is the one whose house we will occupy, replied Aji.
"Wait around! We were? Does that mean we're in a group with you?" ask Pastri.
"Yeayy, yummy, one group of pinters" I replied cheering.
"Huuu, basic, say aja lo do not mo work," said Irma while pulling the tip of my hijab.
"Heee..." I could only cry when Irma could already guess my intentions.
'Come on Ji, I've found his house!"
Deg-deg-deg!
My rhythmic heart rhymed so quickly when I came back to hear the man's voice. I kept staring at him even though my heart was getting louder. I don't know, I was confused by the feeling I had. One thing is for sure, I have never experienced anything like this before.
"Loh, Sep, we're a group too?"
Irma's question to our classmate broke my daydream. His name is Asep, he's one of the stars of our class. Unfortunately, Asep is not a student who likes to hang out. That's why we don't know him very well.
Asep just smiled wryly in response to Irma's question. We also sighed together, like that was the attitude of the man.
Where did you find Mr. Karyo's house, Fat?" ask Aji.
"Not far from this place. Probably only about 100m," replied the cold man.
"Yes, let's go there, let's take a break too. My feet are pegel," asked Irma.
Aji smiled. "Yes, okay. Go, Fat! You are the guide" cried Aji.
Without replying, the man just walked in front of us. Huh, really disrespectful, I complained inwardly.
It is true, after walking for about 100 m, we arrived at a simple house with a stage shape. The house looks not too small, but not too big either. It only has a fairly large yard.
Arriving home, we were immediately welcomed by Mr. Karyo and his wife. After being invited in, his wife Pak Karyo immediately took us to the dining room.
"Come, we'll eat first! You must be hungry after a long journey" said Mr. Karyo.
"No need sir, we don't want to trouble you," Aji refused.
"Ah, no trouble, really. I'm glad you guys came. So this house feels crowded. Understandably, there are no children" in this house, replied Mr. Karyo.
Then, father son?
"Father's only one. After marriage, she was taken by her husband. So, yes, both again."
"I feel like dating again, sir!" timpal.
"Hehehe, you could have, son," concluded Mr. Karyo
"Shh!" While Lastri nudged my arm.
...................
After eating and praying, we took a short break in the room. Shortly after, a knock on the door sounded. Lastri got up to open the door.
"Eh, Fatwa, what's wrong?" kak Lastri asked as soon as he found out who was knocking on the door was the cold man.
"There was a study on the first night. Get ready!" say the man briefly.
"Alright," replied Lastri.
I looked up because I wanted to see the man. However, unfortunately ..the cold-eyed eagle man, could only look back.
"huh, that's so arrogant!"
