Om Pamungkas
families

A few days later, she still dreams about her mother, almost every night,

and it made a mind load for him.

When he was preparing to leave for service, he arrived just sitting on the terrace, already in his helmet, but his body did not want to rise.

Ratih who had opened the fence was astonished to see the empty view of her husband,

" Lho? why sit down?" tanya Ratih approached the terrace,

" Even daydreaming?" Ratih sat crouching, but with both arms on her husband's thighs.

" If you're not feeling well, let's get it." said Ratih,

The two look at each other, though,

" My heart was kept.. Why?" Finally touching his wife's face, his gaze is sweet.

" Don't mind much." said Ratih while throwing a soothing smile at her husband.

Finally did not answer, he was long silent, while leaning his back.

" Just permit me, I'm worried that maybe until daydream on the road.." Ratih.

" No, I'm just going in.." said Pamungkas,

" i'll take you?"

Just shake, then,

" yeah already, but remember my message, don't daydream in the street,"

" there's no way I'm daydreaming on that road.." Finally take a breath, then get up.

Elsewhere, in a large stilt house in the area,

the one on the left side is lush with sago trees.

Every afternoon until night the porch of the wooden-floored house was full of neighbors and immediate family.

They chat even joking occasionally, even though their hearts are not calm.

Almost every day they wait for news,

hope the niece who is in Java will come to visit her father.

" No news from Java?" ask Ruslan's wife, please,

" nothing." replied Ruslan disappointedly.

" Maybe guessed, the boy certainly hated the family here.." Ruslan's wife made everyone speechless, their expressions heavy.

" Where would he want to see his father who had wasted him.." Sahut Rapuni, the youngest of the four brothers.

" Don't blame the child, it's our brother who is not a becus" said Rusdi who just yesterday came from Kalimantan,

the man wandered for quite a while, and only returned when he heard his eldest brother was seriously ill.

" Once, the most important thing now is to try our best for Mercy." said Rusman while drinking his coffee.

" How did you meet the child of Grace?" ask Rusdi, please,

" He won't talk when I say his father's name, especially if it's not the anger we get" Ruslan replied,

" his mother remarried to a rich man, the house we went to was quite magnificent, spacious, two-story.."

" what's a good job?"

" just like Grace, but he's an officer,"

" His stepfather loved him enough like him." murmured Rusdi,

" When he saw his handsome stature, his good work, and his beautiful wife, I think so, he was quite happy without the compassion of Grace,"

" Grace left him, with no living at all, and we're just silent until this old age." Rapuni said.

" We can what Puni? the late father advised him many times to support the boy, but he ignored it,

what else are we, our age under him, advising him? who has been hit by a kick or a fist" protested Rusman.

" That's because my late mother always defended her..

whatever Mercy, rightly continue in the eyes of the mother." said Rapuni,

" uh. how will you? beloved son.." Rusdi.

" Eh, go in first Puni, you see the stuff he asked for a drink or something." Rusdi said,

" He sleeps, some days he sleeps a lot not fussy as usual." said the fat and white woman.

" It still is.. You see first" Ruslan said,

Rapuni got up from the wooden floor and walked inside.

Ratih opened the door of the room, intent on calling her husband to dinner,

" Mas." call Ratih to her husband who is sitting on the bed holding a paper.

The curious coach approached,

She sat next to her husband,

then she took the paper in her husband's hand.

It was a paper containing the address left by both om Pamungkas at that time.

Ratih looked at her husband diligently, wanting to understand what his husband really felt.

" Come with me, huh..?" tanya Pamungkas arrived.

Hearing that Ratih pensive for a moment, she did not answer, but her gaze could not be separated from her husband.

" Wouldn't you?" he hesitated because he did not get an answer from his wife.

" Wherever you go, I'll come along, so don't ask any more.." replied Ratih slowly while clutching his fingers,

make the whole thing immediately bowed,

the man clenched his lips together, half dead he held back the raging feeling in his chest,

I don't know, sad, disappointed.

Seeing that Ratih hurriedly embraces her husband, she knows her husband is currently at war with himself.
