River Suburbs Village
Small Boat Making

Finally, Sutikno nodded his head, a sign that he had agreed to Subhan's request to help him make a small boat

Surely, Subhan and Sutikno first searched for wood around the field. The 10-year-old deftly collected some wood which he would assemble into a small raft boat.

"Well, Subhan"

"Look, I've gathered these woods"

"Tomorrow, let's go on"

"Now, I'm tired"

"You take a shower first"

"Look at me my body is still full of mud" Sutikno told Subhan

"Yes, all right Sutikno"

"You are my best friend" Subhan told Sutikno.

Subhan and Sutikno returned home. They both kept the wood materials around the fields and the plan was, they would continue it again tomorrow morning.

Arriving at a crossroads, as usual they parted ways and Sutikno always waved his hand never to part with Subhan.

All Sutikno activities are always done repeatedly to make Subhan sultry.

"Sutikno, before we split up at this crossroads, you were always waving your hands"

"And just so you know, you wave your hand 3 times and no more"

"Did you like that?" ask Subhan curiously

"Ha ha ha?"

"Subhan"

"You're really weird"

"Everything I do you pay attention to in detail"

"And you just commented after 5 years we were together" Sutikno said casually.

"That's it"

"Dad and my mother must have been waiting for me since then" Sutikno said slowly

"Well, fine then"

"Don't forget, tomorrow accompany me to make a raft?" pinta Subhan on Sutikno

"Well, don't be fussy"

"I will definitely help you" Sutikno replied as he left subhan at the crossroads.

Eventually, the two of them split up and went to their homes.

As Subhan grew older, Subhan began to understand some of the irregularities in the village. Starting from the attitude of the village chief and his neighbors who seemed indifferent.

Although in the village there are many young people his age, but Subhan can only be friends with Sutikno.

Other friends are busy with their activities.

When Subhan tried to ask Sutikno this, he did not get a meeting point of this mystery.

Sutikno only replied, the villagers are still traumatized by the events of 10 years ago, which Sutikno said, the villagers were separated from their relatives who fled outside the village as a result of the volcano erupting and those who had fled never returned to their village.

Sutikno also said he knew everything from his parents who told him about past events.

"I became curious about the river" Subhan murmured inwardly.

While thinking of strange things, Subhan began to guess what really happened in his village 10 years ago.

"Hem, I think, the thing that really confused me was the role of the river in this village" Subhan murmured in his heart.

"That river is the river where my parents crossed into the next village"

"Is there a soft river or a demon?"

"So that when my parents crossed over there, they got lost there?" subhan murmured in the heart.

Subhan walked over because the riddle had not been answered in his mind.

What Suban wanted was for the raft to be completed quickly, for Subhan Pisa to cross the river.

This time his determination was round
