River Suburbs Village
Mysterious mothers

"Oh yeah, mom hasn't answered my question" Where did you come from?" ask Subhan again. Subhan was curious about the origin of the young mother because in his village there were no residents who crossed the river other than himself and Sutikno.

"Oh yeah, I haven't answered your question"

"I come from a meriang hill village" If your village is in the bay, my village is on its hill" Desaku is far from the river, he said, All the villagers were about to move to the next village because in my village there was a disaster" said the young mother.

"What disaster?" ask Subhan curiously

"Is your village not affected?" Before the thick smoke enveloped your village, it first hit my village" said the mother seemed to know the condition of the village in which Subhan lived, even though Subhan village was a very remote village and rarely foreigners who could enter there if they did not pass the river first.

Subhan village is surrounded by a river that is crossed by Subhan at this time.

"Well, how do you know?" ask Subhan curiously.

"Yes, I know a lot of boys, you're right to go across this river" Do as your heart instincts" the young mother said as she looked towards Sutikno again.

Subhan looked at the young mother who liked to see Sutikno while chatting with her. Precisely the mother did not focus on seeing her, it was Sutikno who always saw her many times.

In the end, out of curiosity, Subhan asked the young mother in a whisper

"Mom, why do you see Sutikno constantly" asked Shuban curiously. It seems Sutikno remains focused on rowing the raft to keep it running in balance with the boat that the young mother boarded.

"Oh yeah, is he your friend?" ask the young mother in a serious tone.

"Yes, come on, you'll know" said the young mother, showing a face full of mystery.

"Mom, you know what mom meant?" subhan asked increasingly

"Later you will know son, the important thing is that you can cross this river and see the village next door"

After much discussion with Subhan, the mothers finally kept quiet and sat on his boat. The children he carried were also next to him no longer fussy. They focused on heading to the left of the river where there were people waiting in line to get there.

"Mom, are you going that way?" Subhan asked curiously

"Yes son, this river there are three paths" I want to go to the left lane only because there is already a mother's husband waiting" said the young mother as she passed leaving Subhan. The old boat that the mother was riding turned to the left, while the raft of Subhan kept on going somewhere.

"Sutikno, aren't we trying to follow that mother's direction?" Subhan asked curiously.

"No Subhan" We don't follow that mother, if you don't want to die forever" Sutikno told Subhan.

"Well, what is Sutikno?" Though we are in the same village, growing up together, but why is your knowledge more than me anyway?" ask Subhan curiously.

Subhan began to think about Sutikno's role in this journey. Sutikno seemed to know the condition of the river with all the oddities that occur. When viewed the same age, they came from the same village, and even Subhan spent time only with Sutikno only during his time in that village.
