Transmigration: The Promise of Echoes
CHAPTER 02 ~ Always Staked ~

Just on the fifteenth day, the vice school principal of the student field and some teachers deliberately visited the house of Lastri. The reason they made the visit was to get clarity because Lastri was not present in teaching and learning activities. Practically since the incident, Lastri was only able to lie on a mattress.

There was something odd about the arrival of the vice principal and the teachers during that day. The dismissal letter from the school for Lastri seems to have been prepared from the beginning. Looks like the school has heard about Lastri's pregnancy before. Surely the board of teachers have agreed to return Lastri to his parents.

Yudi came to the house of Lastri. It was the second time he had come to the house of Lastri since what happened to Lastri.Yudi was an alumni at the same school as Lastri. They were close, even playmates from childhood. They are at odds over two school years.

Yudi took her time to talk to her former teachers in front of the house Lastri. The teachers were proud of him. Because Yudi has been wearing the uniform of a well-known palm oil field company in their area.

"This pastry I brought an orange!" yudi said with a smile and put a plastic package on the guest table near the head of Lastri. 

Enah who saw the incident returned full of pleasantries to Yudi. He seemed to act on behalf of Lastri in accepting the arrival of her son's ex-boyfriend. Although full of pretense, Enah still thanked Yudi for visiting her daughter.

"Bi, Lastri, how's he doing now?" yudi asked Enah for a moment when she was sitting on the right side of the bed.

"Yes, it's still like the other day Nak Yudi!" Sounded resigned answer from Enah, "there has been no change!"

"But the aunt and the people said, Lastri had a chance to talk the other day!" ask Yudi wonder. "cook today I can't talk anymore?"

"Yes so son of Yudi!" answer Enah in accordance with the message of Lastri so as not to say his true condition to anyone.

Indeed, Lastri had admitted to his mother that if he talked a lot then there was pain in his head. For that reason you lied to Yudi. You are worried if Lastri has to suffer from very severe pain in the head like last week.  

Intentionally Yudi pretended to ask about the purpose of the school teachers coming to the Lastri house. Though he already knew about Lastri being dismissed from school. The teachers themselves had revealed the news to him while they were talking earlier. Just before Yudi entered the house.

"Bi, what are the teachers here to do?"  Yudi pretended to ask the purpose of the visiting teacher council.

"Yes, Yud, but not Lastri" replied Enah rather upset at having to lie again.

Of course Enah does not want to tell Yudi about Lastri's pregnancy. Even if the whole community knew, the news would never come out of his mouth. Enah thinks if Lastri agrees to cancel the content, then the accusations of village people will disappear by themselves. 

Like her late husband Enah always clung to good names. If it should be leaked, it should be certain it is not from them. Including the news that Lastri was dismissed from school because she was pregnant, she will keep from coming out of her mouth. Unfortunately Enah did not know that the young man in front of her was the cause of her two-bodied daughter. 

Yudi had a long relationship with Lastri. They have been playing together since childhood. You know about it. However, Enah knew exactly that their relationship had broken up two or three months ago.

"Where does Nak Yudi work? Smoothly?" ask Enah.

"Alright Bi, it has a lot to learn first!" answer Yudi.

"You just got into work there, how much rest here anyway? ask Enah wonder, especially Yudi's status as a new employee. "the distance from here to there is not far?"

"It's okay, Bi, it's a break!" answer Yudi.

As per Lastri's message, Enah did not want Yudi to linger in their house. You are also afraid that Yudi will be reprimanded by the superior. Still as a parent he did not want anything bad to happen to someone. Yudi is still a village.

"Sorry, Nak Yudi is not a Aunt to nge you, but Auntie wants to rest," said Enah, "again Pastri want some clean first!"

"Yes yes Bi .., I understand!" yudi replied subtly even with a sour face, "My pastry permits to go home first!"

"Thank you, Yudi!" say Enah.

"I'm saying yes Bi!" Yudi asked Enah for permission.

Lastri needs to be cleaned immediately is a successful tip Enah to drive away Yudi subtly. Not long after Yudi said greetings, the roar of the motor sound was heard. Lastri is very familiar with the distinctive sound of the two-stroke motor. Yeah, the motor belongs to one of his rapists.

"Mom, would you please see that bike outside?" pinta Lastri's.

Went to the window, then he sibak the blue cloth. Former party flag fabric that serves as curtains. . After looking out, Enah also said, "which motorcycle snapped is Las?"

"Yes ma'am, what color is that tank in yellow paint?" ask Lastri.

"Yes Las, the color of the tank is bright yellow," replied Mother Lastri.

"Not yet, still chatting with people on the bike, Eh you want to sit down and not tell Mom first!" Try warning Lastri.

Lastri felt the need to discuss who the person was "No matter what I've started strong!" answer Lastri, 

"Is her hair long, Mom?" ask Lastri.

"Yes curly! Megar was his hair, kept tied up, he wore a checkered shirt," replied Enah.

"He's wearing a black bandana, ma'am" asked Lastri again.

"Well, you know him?" Come back to asking.

"No Ma'am!" Lastri shook his head slowly.

Lastri did not know the man personally. But he knew who that man was, his name was Bambang. But it is commonly called Bems by More. He's a close friend of More's.

After answering the last question from Lastri, Enah immediately returned on the left side of Lastri again. He wanted to help arrange his daughter's sitting position. Immediately Place a pillow behind the neck of Lastri as a backrest.

"Thank you Mom!"  Lastri thanked Enah after feeling more relaxed with a pillow as a backrest, "Mom often do not see the motor?"

"It's not Las, you never come out!" answer Enah.

"But I often hear the sound of the bike!" lastri said, "it's been almost a week!"

"Eh yes really you Lastri, the other day when Yudi came also delivered the bike?" answer Enah.

You feel astonished at Lastri, why there can be special attention on the bike. There is one more thing that makes you wonder. Lastri never called himself "me". Lastri used to call his own name Astri. A name that was considered more beautiful and spoiled by his daughter.

"That's gone the bike," said Enah when the noise of the motor was increasingly heard away.

"Yes Ma'am," Lastri nodded slowly

"You eat, yes" You make an offer to eat with Lastri.

"yes Ma!" Lastri according.

"The orange from Yudi wants you to eat Las?" Show him the two oranges he took from the plastic wrap. 

"You Ma'am!" answer Lastri.

While both hands were busy opening the two oranges, Enah also said, "Later if you are healthy, we ask for help with Mr. Lek find a new school for you!"

"It doesn't seem necessary anymore Mom!" lastri.

"Why are you talking, school is important!" Try to remind yourself of the importance of school.

"So ma'am, still in school, do you have kids?" answer Lastri.

"We then go to Mbah Jum," Enah again persuaded Lastri to drop the contents.

"I don't want to, ma'am" Pastri replied as he tilted his body until tears were dripping down the edges of his eyes.

"Yes, I want to eat for you" said Enah firmly, trying to strengthen himself.

Walk into the kitchen to get her child food. Lastri ate the citrus fruit given by Yudi. It tasted sour when the first orange segment he put into his mouth. However, for the next grapefruit segment Lastri can taste sweeter as if it comes from a different citrus fruit.
