The residents were carrying royong to help each other to start cleaning up all the chaos, many houses were buried in avalanches. The sadness was clearly printed on their faces, how not, not only the loss of a loved one but also the property was gone.

In one of the houses was a citizen, whose name was karja. That day he was very busy cleaning his house assisted by some residents, because indeed the house was hit by a severe avalanche.when mang karja entered the interior of his house he was so surprised to see the appearance of his residence. Land, water and gravel mixed into one filled the room, even many fish are also trapped in the family room and even the room.

Mang karja felt very sad because he lost all his possessions in a doldrums he began to dredge water and soil mixed with makeshift equipment.

When he was seriously working, the middle-aged man was surprised by something that accidentally knocked his leg "Akh...!" pekiknya, a very large carp lying helpless, the fish is still alive but weak, because he was trapped in the muddy, the man was shocked and happy with the windfall he got.

With such a situation it is not impossible if the fish in the pond is tossed uddy due to the terrible disaster, I don't know whose fish it is that is clear now the fish belongs to the mang karja.

He plans to hand the fish over to the meat for cooking, and later it will be eaten with other residents. "Alhamdulilah" he said. He immediately took the fish and put it in a bucket that was available, when he was engrossed with the findings of the fish arrived mang karja remembered something that made the feathers standing up the man was afraid, he said, sad and sorry.

Flashbacks*

In a house that is not too far from the residence or rather a neighbor. Geck! Geck! Geck! The sound of knocking on the door sounded loud.

"Ceklekk" the door opened, "who is it?" ask the owner of a house known as Karja.

Seen an old man whose body has been bent with shabby clothes attached, he wears a caping and a wooden stick in his hand, mang karja watching from the bottom to the top "Suspicious!" her mind.

Mang karja did not know or feel ever saw him coupled with the appearance of the grandfather who he thought was a bit strange and mysterious.

"Who's kek looking? and what's it gonna take 'yes?" ask mang karja again.

The mysterious grandfather who was asked immediately raised his face, because his body that bent the grandfather had not shown the face that had been obstructed from the caping he was wearing.

'ah!' mang karja was surprised to see the face of the old man in front of him this pale face full of wrinkles and a sharp eye look deep, at once his hair was bristling.

"Water.give me water, I'm thirsty!" said the grandfather in a hoarse and deep voice.

Mang karja who was afraid instead of giving the water asked by the grandfather he instead drove him away by saying that he had no water.

"Sorry cake, no water, grandpa please just go!" banish him.

The grandfather looked at him more and more, he said... "Oh, is that it? you don't have any water? alright' I will give you plenty of water, you just wait!!" he said while leaving.

"What does that old geezer mean? ah come on," murmured Karja didn't care.

The flashback of*

A week after the arrival of the grandfather was a terrible disaster, people who know the story of mang karja believe that the grandfather was actually a messenger to give a warning.

In the afternoon after mang karja gradually clean up all the chaos in his house, he returned to the refugee barracks at the mirah house, then immediately give the gurame fish that he found earlier to be disah to be processed into delicious food.

Disah immediately received the fish and brought it to the kitchen to be cleaned and then cooked, he thought it seemed delicious when cooked spicy acid, spicy, while he was busy in the kitchen, he heard the sound of ratna's crying, he quickly left his job and went to the room to see the baby, until the room was denied to feel relieved because the baby was in a passionate embrace.

"Why is he crying mir? brother until surprised with fear why napa, he ends crying very fast anyway!" exclamation disah.

"Don't know brother, hungry maybe' I want to give breast milk," replied mirah.

"Yes, he gave it until he was full, huh mir..."

"Yes sis..," mirah nodded and smiled gently.

"Sister stay again yes want to continue cooking gurame fish," continued disah while stepping away.

"Eh' wait brother! brother said gurame fish, where did the gurame fish come from?" mirah thinks the people's fish pond must have been buried in an avalanche from where her brother caught fish.

"That's mir.mang karja had seen his house buried, however, when he cleaned his house accidentally found a fish trapped in the mud, finally he brought it here and then handed it to brother to be processed, so everyone can enjoy it." obviously denied.

Mirah nodded, she gave breast milk back to her son.

after remaining disah mirah continued to contemplate how he supported himself and his son later, it is impossible that he continued to trouble the brother, even though in fact he was denied and Moses did not mind taking the lives of both of them.

'Huh.' mirah sighed, she felt as if a heavy burden was pressing on her chest. Had herman not cheated on her and left her, it would have been fine.

Mjrah will not be confused with his life ahead. Not feeling a clear circle dripping on his cheeks, he lamented the fate that felt so sad, while stroking the cheeks of the ratna gembul mirah said "may your life be overflowing with happiness ya son' I promise to work hard for your happiness, we are both strong women pray that you are always healthy and patient in undergoing this test, you are the only hope of the other mother, she said, you are the jewel of the mother's heart, the light in the darkness and the support when the mother is weak and fragile. You are the source of my strength, son." The clear circle just spilled out, mirah could not hold the liquid, she was sad.

While in a different place far away there a man was contemplating, his mind floated to the woman who was abandoned while being pregnant. There is a sense of guilt infiltrating the corner of his heart against the woman he once loved so much, but the love for infidelity is greater, so he is willing to be selfish.
