THE UNIVERSE IS FOLLOWING US
CHAPTER 50


The natural scenery of the countryside makes the heart that views it comfortable and calm, rice paddies that have been planted with rice plants look like a green rug that stretches wide. Small birds begin to fly away from their nests in search of food to take home for their young.


Rural atmosphere is much different from the atmosphere in urban areas.Far from the crowds, the air is cool and clean from pollution, pollution, as well as a calm and comfortable atmosphere.In the morning the quiet atmosphere is very felt unlike the atmosphere of the morning in urban areas, crowded and noisy caused by the sound of motorized vehicles passing by.


Starting to feel fresh air and green scenery that cools the eyes. Along the way we can see orange plantations and plantations that further strengthen the impression of unpretentious rural life. A farmer-friendly smile adds fresh mood.


Dira had arrived at the village of Bones Bawang, a village that the Awan said was not highlighted by the government. But it turns out the lives of people there have been touched by technology. Like there is a tower owned by a well-known mobile company, Like there are shops that open internet cafes (internet cafes). The air is pretty cold. That's what Dira saw when their car entered the village.


The car stopped at a small house. Simple house plastered pamplet Midwife Naura Herawati. Dira took a deep heavy breath. His smile expanded as the Clouds pulled his hand into the courtyard of Naura's house.


The two stood at the door greeting as a sign of adab in the meeting. They waited a long time for no answer. Dira also saw there was a long chair of bamboo. The woman took the clouds to sit there.


"You're not going home to your family, Wan?" tanya Dira started the conversation.


"Right now I'm just running errands from Mr. Burhan, Non. I know this village doesn't mean I'm here for a vacation." replied Awan.


"Well, don't you miss your family? Jaka once said he wanted to go home but could not bear the opa Han. I salute Jaka's loyalty to opa. There are many young people who come to Jakarta in search of a better life. Jaka stays faithful working with opa Han. His age is suitable for the household"


"I've known Jaka for three years, non. Before I stayed at the Jaka boarding house. I know Jaka from Opick who first one kost with Jaka. Opick is a working cross-island travel driver the same as me. Keep the Opick married and my Opick room occupied." Cloud story.


"Oh, so. Keep your job now what before replacing Jaka?"


"I'm still a cross-island travel driver, non. When Jaka asked for help so I could replace him. I'm authorized to go home in an unspecified time. Not good either, I had to lie. It costs me, from there. But who would have thought I actually went home." A small laughing cloud wondered what he was doing at his workplace.


"As people say, Wan. That talk is prayer. And now you are standing in your homeland." said Dira, breathing fresh air, though the clock was two o'clock in the afternoon. "It's not hot, yeah, wan. Different from Jakarta.by the way, this is who has a house, huh? we waited for nothing to show up."


Dira walks around Naura's courtyard. Waiting for the owner to show up. In fact, it has been an hour the owner of the house has not appeared. The clouds want to take Dira for a walk around the village. But Dira still hesitates to leave his belongings.


The clouds peered into the window of the front room of the Naura residence. Eyes focused on a photo of an adult man on the wall of the living room. His smile grew when he saw the photo. Seraya held her heart after leaving the door of Naura's house.


"Who are you?" ask a little boy dressed in red.


"I'm Dira and this is my friend Cloud. We are from Jakarta for a holiday here. I'm given this same address Bi Inah. He said it's Naura's house."


"Oh, find my mom, yeah. Mom picked me up, she turned to the market. So I went home first. My name is Jimmy, Auntie. Naura's son."


"Oh, where's your father, son?" ask Cloud.


"Dad, to Tangerang, om. Again work." replied Jimmy.


"So Naura is married? but why is there still that photo?" inner Cloud.


"Tante and Om please come in first." Jimmy approached the door and pulled out the key.


Dira entered the house Naura noticed every corner of the house the owner of the house. His feet stopped in a picture. Photo that made his heart beat.


Jimmy saw Dira watching his father's picture.


"Italya..." Dira's lips trembled as Jimmy introduced the man in the photo as a father.


"Aaaaayaaah .. so Mas Juna has had other children all this time. So ...." Dira felt his head surrounded by several butterflies. His body felt limp and his gaze darkened instantly.


"Nooon.." The cloud's voice slipped away from Dira's hearing.

Naura got off the motorcycle that drove her home from the market. While carrying some vegetables and other necessities, the woman called her son's name. But it was not Jimmy who came out, but the figure of a foreign man who came to help lift his belongings. Naura's steps came to a standstill because someone else was in her house.


"You who? what are you doing in my house?" search Naura.


"You better get inside first. Let me explain later." said Awan immediately snatched into the house of Naura.


"Mom's home." Jimmy immediately hugged his mother immediately pulled into his room.


"He who?" naura asked to see that Dira was still unconscious.


"Say from Jakarta, Mom. He said, Who was that?"


"We are from Jakarta to take a vacation here. We're given the address of Bi Inah who works at non Dira's parents' house." Clear Cloud.


"Oh yes I remember, Bude Ajeng said that the employer bi Inah wanted to come here and stay at my place. But why did he faint?"


"I don't know, ma'am. Looks like non Dira is exhausted, because she recently had a miscarriage."


"Allah has great pity on his mother. You're her husband?"


"No, I'm his assistant. Her husband had not died long ago." Cloud explained.


"Innalilahi wa innailaihi. Poor Mbak, already lost a baby and lost her husband. Let me check first. Jimmy's son wait outside for a minute."


"Good, Mom. Om his aunt let in my mother's medicine. My mother was a midwife."


During Naura's examination, Jimmy and Cloud chose to sit outside. There was a starfruit tree standing next to the terrace of Naura's house. The clouds asked permission to take one of the mature starfruit.


"Om like starfruit too?"


"Yes, since childhood om likes to eat star fruit. hmmm..it feels very fresh!" The cloud tasted the leatherback he was holding.


"Well, since childhood, I like to eat star fruit, said my grandfather, my father likes star fruit." Jimmy told me cheerfully.
