River Suburbs Village
First trip

Maap friend two days yesterday I was busy my patient at the full health center so I could not write.. I have two days off today and want to write again.

After getting a white robe and carrying all the supplies of the trip, Subhan finally left with his father and mother, followed by Mr. Sarto and Ustad Saleh.

Their boat is ready by the river. The boat that Subhan's father rented was apparently the best boat in the village. There is already a machine so there is no need to row like Subhan and Sutikno did in the past.

One by one they also took a boat and the wave of Subhan's hand did not escape the sight of Rukmini and Hasan.

Pak Sarto sat at the front while Ustad Saleh sat at the very end of the boat. Meanwhile, Subhan's mother's father and Subhan himself sat in the middle. Subhan is seen holding tightly to the white robe given by the unknown old man.

The initial journey was smooth and the river water seemed friendly at that time. Subhan turned his head to the right and left looking at the usual looking atmosphere of the river. Once upon a time, there was a log in the middle of the river. The wooden trunk looked solidly standing. Sarto, who saw the log, seemed to nod his head in a sign that he knew something.

The boat finally sailed closer to the log stuck in the middle of the river. Sarto also said

"Sir, the log is used as the border of our village" Actually, all the people in our village if they are looking for fish in the river, should not cross the wood line. Because according to village elders, the wood was used as a boundary poultice of the village" Sarto told Subhan's father and mother

Subhan's father and mother were stunned for a moment and replied

"Pak Sarto, our village is on the other end" Subhan's father told Sarto.

However, Subhan was only silent because Subhan also slightly forgot the direction of his village.

Ustad Saleh, who was behind the boat, was seen sitting in prayer. He seemed to know the place he was going.

"Pak Sarto, the wooden border is getting closer, we should pray because we have violated the mandate of village elders to deliver Subhan to his grandmother's residence" said Ustad Saleh to Sarto

Sarto and Ustad Saleh finally prayed, as did Subhan's mother's father and Subhan's own. They prayed with me. Didn't feel like their boat had really come close to the barrier's log. When the situation was tense, Subhan opened the white robe given by the old man. Subhan deftly hung the white robe over the wooden barrier. This surprised Sarto

"Subhan, your white robe you put on the parapet?"What's for?" ask Sarto curiously

"Well, sir, this barrier wood is very small and I'm afraid it's easy to lose sight of when we get back home"

"So I better hang this white robe" This robe is useless to me" When I wear it, I can't even control my body" Subhan told Mr. Sarto

"Oh yeah, just put it down then" Sarto told Subhan
