Raya Doctor
Webbing Bag
The heat of the sun is starting to get hot. The day is approaching afternoon. Raya Doctor, Bu Lurah and Pak lurah stopped at a hut near the rice fields. Intentionally, the doctor invited Mr. Lurah and his wife to rest for a while after tired of walking.
"After this the doctor will stay in my house or stay in a house that has been provided dock village?given the location is quite far from the puskesmas but close to the residential area." asked Bu Lurah. "I should live in a place provided by the village only Bu. It's a pity if it's empty." replied Raya.
"Then I will tell my men to immediately prepare the facilities of the house so that it can be occupied. Actually it has been cleaned dock, just stay complete clean water for bathing and drinking". Said Mr. Lurah.
"Thank you sir for the help". Kata Raya's.
The breeze greets the rice fields making the air feel cool. Occasionally Raya observed several houses around the rice fields. "What are they doing?why does it look so busy?" Inner Kingdom.
" lady.. What is that house doing there?kog seems so busy?"tanya Raya's.
"oohh.it's Ida Bu's House. He's making a woven bag. Some residents here in addition to their livelihood as farmers also have a side as craftsmen. Yes one of them is woven bags of bamboo/plastic" said Bu lurah. "Can I go there, Mom? I want to see it directly." asked Raya. "Let me take the dock. All the way home" said Pak lurah and Bu lurah.
When visiting the house of Bu Ida there are some mothers are busy weaving woven into bags or containers. Observe the way they weave. Truly creative women here, although living in a remote village does not make them desperate to find a side, thought Raya. "Welcome to Raya's doctor, thank you for stopping by our hut" said one of the young girls around the age of 18. "Hey pretty, are you doing this too?"tanya Raya's. "Yes doc, because I don't have a job. So I helped mommy run this little business." Answer Lina.
"nduk.mbokya ma'am the doctor told me to come in. Don't tell me to stand up." Said a grandmother from inside the house and approached Raya. "ayo Bu doctor.pinarak rumiyen (stop by first)". "Please sit down, ma'am, let's make tea first" said Granny Sari. "Thank you, Grandma, don't bother. I happen to be passing by here so all want to know what the mothers are doing.
"Nggeh Bu doctor, here like to make woven.kayak bags and containers of kitchen spices,". Said Grandma sari. "Ohh..It's been a while, Grandma?? I think the mothers here are very skilled in weaving" said Raya. "iya Bu doctor, since Lina was a child" said the granny sadu. Raya had been observing the simple house a little since. It felt familiar to him, yet he was still confused. He felt the family was cold. There was a mother who focused on sewing since Raya entered the house. Do not look, nor do you. Finally Raya tried to approach the mother with a little huffiness. "good afternoon mom, is making what?looks like I'm really good at sewing". Sapa Raya. the mother was just silent without looking at Raya one bit. "Mother doctor.let's come with me" said Lina. "forgive my mother yes doc, indeed mother like that. Too quiet and cold, said grandma used to be friendly, kind and smiley. But since we lost our sister, my mother became more often moody and sad, as doctors see now" said Lina sadly. He was silent, like he was thinking about something. But Raya smiled while saying "i'm not papa kog, maybe Ida's mother also did not want to know new people. Don't be sad, Lina" said Raya, hugging Lina. There was a sense of warmth in Lina's heart as Raya hugged her.
"Dok..mari go home.day is afternoon." said mr. lurah. "ohh.iya sir" said Raya." Lin, I'm saying yes. It is late afternoon and I also want to prepare for my residence" continued Raya. "oohh ngggeh Bu doctor, be careful on the road" said Lina. And they passed.
Feeling tired today. Just the first day alone has made me have to deal with various attitudes of each person, but at least I like this village, the village where I was born. The village gave me a lot of memories of my family. Dad.mom.. Do you feel like I'm near you?? Raya Gumam.
