The Thorny Journey

The Thorny Journey
Yana wants to hold fast


Aunty Yana still feels strange with her nephew, willing to ask frankly to Yana Tantenya not have the courage, usually Yana will tell her own story without being asked, the living room of Yana's house, which only has a plastic mat, makes her house feel spacious and clean.


"It's okay Auntie, just a day off anyway, not always me off like this Auntie." said Yana again chimed in on her Tantenya question.


Their warm conversation becomes smoother, what else Yana can never talk long like this, due to being too busy working every day makes Yana's time more limited with the situation at home.


The afternoon passed quickly, Yana who had previously only felt the atmosphere in the stall today felt a very different atmosphere in her home, Azham who had come home from school was having lunch, soon I will be getting ready to go to the school.


"Azham...if Umi wants to come with me, Azham will come with me?" yana asked her son who was busy feeding food into his tiny mouth


Azham was jolted with the words of Uminya, before Yana never talked about it, suddenly Yana gave her son about moving to follow Abah Yana.


In recent years Yana's mainstay menu is chicken, Yana has worked for four years with Mas Bambang, Mas Bambang gives hope for Yana to survive in times of difficulty, Yana, but now that Yana could not survive anymore, she was not able to withstand the insults of Eni wife of Mas Bambang, the boss himself.


"Azham will go where Umi goes, if Umi wants to come with Atok, Azham will come too." replied Yana's son with full attention to Uminya.


"Umi why ask so...Umi wants to move?


"Isn't...Umi just asked, who knows tomorrow-tomorrow the door of Umi's heart is open to follow Atok, so you are ready to follow Umi right?" Yana has not been able to be frank with her two children, Yana needs a more appropriate time to discuss about Yana's plan.


During the meal, Azham gave permission to his place of teaching, by pedaling Azham bike to go to his place of teaching, Yana still felt at ease in her house, and at home, all day this Yana kingdom just sitting and lying in the living room while watching tifi, the activity that Yana had always wanted, wanted to be like other housewives, but Yana never got her rights as a wife who just waited for the return of her husband at home.


At night after dinner, each of them went into the room, Yana was now sleeping alone, her son Hafiz chose to sleep with her brother, in the room Yana chose to sleep on her back while looking at the sky attic, Yana is still thinking about the plan that will be taken, so that Yana's eyes still can not be compromised anymore, finally Yana fell asleep.


By the cold morning Yana still has not decided to move to follow her Abah, after her children leave for school, Yana decided to reach for a smart device in the corner of her bed, immediately find the number that has been stored in the smart tool.


It..tit...


For the third time the call is connected.


[ Hello Abah... Abah how are you? ] asked Hannah.


[Baby good boy...You forgot something Yana ] joked Abah Yana.


[I forgot what Abah is..Is there anything? ] continued Yana again to her brother.


[You forgot to say hello to Abah Yana ] his brother replied again.]


[Ooo...sorry Abah... Assalamualaikum Abah? ]


[Walaikum salam.gitu donk ] said Abah while chuckling at the babble of his son.


[I must miss Abah...Abah I have good news for Abah ] continued Yana again.


[What is the happy news for Abah Yana? ]


[ Yes Abah...Abah want to know?if you don't do anything ]


[Want Yana, even want to know this ] continued Abah.


[I will follow Abah there, I will come with Abah to stay there ] said Yana.


[This is true Yana...I didn't dream this, did I? ]


[No Abah...Abah does not dream, I really want to follow Abah there, I am not able to live here anymore, but I have to prepare the transfer of children's schools first huh Abah? ] timpal Yana again.


[ Okay...Abah will wait for you to come, if later you are done can call Abah, Abah will pick you up. ] Abah said with a cheerful tone.


Abah's heart was too happy after calling Yana Abah's only child, especially with the news that Yana said earlier, Yana will go home and live with Abah again, Yana has thought clearly, Yana has thought clearly, Yana could not live alone with her status as a widow of two children, Yana was afraid of being scorned by people if she lived alone.


A dim afternoon without the sun twilight makes Yana more determined to want to go to Mas Bambang stalls, Yana plans to go to the place because Yana wants a work stop permit from Mas Bambang, for Yana he entered work well, Yana wanted to quit work in a good way too.


"Assalamualaikum Mas Bambang?" yana said as she entered the door of the stall.


Coincidentally when Yana entered the front door of the stall, Mas Bambang was in the kitchen of the chicken penyet, Mas Bambang hands so deftly flipping through the chicken that was in the cauldron, due to lack of focus almost the chicken fried Mas Bambang scorched.


"Waalaikum salam.eh Mpok Neng" said Mas Bambang whose eyes and hands are still focused into the cauldron.


"Sit down first Mpok Neng.I have something to ask Mpok Neng" said Mas Bambang again.


Yana's body that is a little unpleasant in carrying sits on a bench that has always been a favorite place of Yana, a wooden bench that has accompanied Yana for many years, yana's eyes continued to face towards Mas Bambang who painstakingly raised the chicken that was in the cauldron.


"You're sick Mpok Neng.kok you didn't tell me you were sick!" said Mas Bambang who still composes chicken that has been fried in its place.


"Mas.sit down, I want us to talk for a minute!" yana said to Mas Bambang who was still standing on the shelf.


"Anyway with Yana? mumpung little more want to be ready for this." said Mas Bambang who still has not quit his job.


Mas Bambang continues to arrange various completeness in the rice box, the chicken plan must be cold first before it will be packaged.
