Traveling to the Unseen Realm
26. Ditelephon Grandpa

Tomi's mother turned her head as one of the neighbors touched her shoulder and asked. Then the woman pointed to the house where Tomi and her father were moving away from the big yellow snake.

" What snake, sir...?" ask the neighbors Tomi.

" Snake spoon Sir..," said Tomi's father riled.

" Waaahh. Let's get him...!" bring the citizens unpretentious.

" Be careful getting pecked. It's poisonous...!" one of the residents reminded.

" Well, sir...!" sahut other citizens.

" If caught don't be anything sir. Just throw it to the hill so that no new problems arise later," said Tomi's father reminded.

" Yes...!" sahut citizens together.

The people quickly helped catch the snake. Thanks to good cooperation, the cobra was captured and put in a sack.

" Alhamdulillah.., finally ketangkep as well..," said the resident with a satisfied smile.

" That his body is big but very nimble yes," said one resident while removing the sweat on his forehead.

" yes. Fortunately we are many, so the snake is afraid because it is outnumbered..," joked one resident to everyone's laughter.

" How can there be a snake in the house. Though this village has long been visited by snakes, you know," said neighbor Tomi while looking at Ranvier with a suspicious look.

" right. No one has broken the restrictions in our village by whistling in the house." interrupted the other residents while staring resentfully at Ranvier.

Ranvier's face looked pale. He was worried about being judged because it had been the cause of the arrival of the large cobra snake.

" Well, we know. Maybe the snake is looking for a new nest because the nest is broken. Not long ago the people of Kita village had a big harvest,." said Tomi's father calmly.

" It makes sense anyway. Yesterday again harvest in the field Mr. Wid We also found many eggs. It was a snake egg. Maybe this is the mother snake whose eggs were in the field yesterday Mr. Wid.", said one of the neighbors mediate.

" Oh yes, I and some residents also see.

Ranvier and Tomi's family also seemed to sigh in relief because the residents did not blame them for the arrival of the cobra.

" Thank you, Fathers, " said Tomi's father sincerely.

" The Same Sir. Maybe the snake was hungry and was after your goat in the backyard. Try checking, hopefully the snake has not had time to eat his goat Mr Tomi..," said residents before passing.

" Yes, I'll check Sir. Thanks again, '" said Tomi's father.

The citizens nodded and dispersed one by one. Soon Tomi and one of the neighbors went to throw the big cobra into the hill.

" Alhamdulillah O Allah. Fortunately, the sound sir. I can't imagine if the snake goes into the room and strikes when we're sleeping..," Tomi's mother said, kneeling her temple.

" Yes Ma'am.," said Tomi's father with a wry smile.

" So that's a real taboo. I'm sorry, Mr. Ma. Because of me this house came to the snake. If I hadn't been whistled yesterday morning, it would have been a snake that didn't come here..," Ranvier said.

" It's gapapa. It's just a coincidence. What is important now is that you can learn to understand that each region has different customs and rules. Sometimes it doesn't make sense, but appreciate it. All the prohibitions and restrictions will be made for the good of us as well," said Tomi sage father.

" Yes sir..," said Ranvier Iirih.

Both of Tomi's parents seemed to smile seeing Ranvier bowing his head. In their hearts they were grateful that the snake did not hurt Ranvier. Ranvier is a guest in their home. Of course they hope to give their best and not harm Ranvier.

" Why the cake ?. It's only been four days, Kek. My grandfather said I could take a week off. The origin is the same Bang Tomi wherever it may be..," said Ranvier reminded the grandfather.

" Yes Grandpa knows. But this is something important Vier. You go home first. Grandpa has told Tomi to get ready.., "said Grandpa Randu.

Ranvier knew that his grandfather's words were an indisputable command. Ranvier reluctantly agreed to the grandfather's request.

" Your grandfather telephoned, did Vier...?" ask Tomi's father suddenly.

" Yes Sir. I was told to go home. Though not a week of vacation and I still feel at home here..," said Ranvier while pouting.

" Please follow your grandfather's request. There must be something important so he asks you to come home as soon as possible. I heard your Grandpa loves you very much. Maybe he misses you." persuaded Ranvier's father with a smile.

" Yes Sir. If so I get ready first yes..," said Ranvier as he went to the room to clean up his clothes and personal equipment.

" Tomie has to go back, sir. Even though Mom is still kangen with him..," said Tomi's mother lirih.

" Yes Ma'am. Tomi is no longer working, so don't be bothered with your unnecessary whining, Mom." joked Tomi's father.

" I don't whine. I still miss Tomi. You can't miss your own child" said Tomi's mother.

" God willing Tomi comes home again fitting can leave later Mom..," interrupted Tomi from the doorway of the room.

Mom Tomi's face seemed to sparkle happily hearing the promise of the child.

" Don't forget Tom's gift" said Tomi's mother.

" Ready. Mother wants to be brought by-by whatan...?" ask Tomi.

" Daughter-in-law..," said Tomi's mother quickly.

" Daughter-in-law, I mean what the hell is it...?" tanya Tomi doesn't understand.

" Tom's wife, I'm asking you to find a partner to be a wife. That was the moment I didn't understand" Tomi's father said, shaking his head.

" Oohh that. If that's what you used to be, ma'am. I still want to be alone. Besides I just work and mourn again so I can build our house. I'm a man, so the business of home betulin is my responsibility. Yes, even though there is a big brother, but he also has to take care of his family now. The plan is before marriage, I betulin the house first Mom..," Tomi said carefully.

Tomi's words made both her parents touched, both of them seemed to smile proudly.

" But don't be too scared, Tom. Remember, you also need to think about your future. I don't want you to be too focused on work until you forget to find a partner..," Tomi's mother said with a smile.

" God willing, Mom. Now I say yes. It's a little money left over from Ranvier's grandfather. Hopefully useful for Mom and Dad." said Tomi while handing over a brown envelope with money.

" When did Grandpa send money Bang...?" ranvier asked from behind Tomi.

" Year time We were in Gili Trawangan. Your grandfather sent special money to Mother and Father Brother..," said Tomi while looking at Ranvier.

" Oh my God, this is a lot. Please thank us for your grandfather Vier." said Tomi's mother with teary eyes.

" Yes Ma'am. Thank you for accepting me, sorry if you take care of me. Now I say yes. "Ranvier said, kissing the backs of Tomi's parents' hands alternately.

" Alaikumsalam.., be careful of children..," said Tomi's parents together.

" Prepared Mr. Ma." said Tomi and Ranvier while waving.

Tomi and Ranvier appear to have been picked up by a car in front of the house. Shortly thereafter the car drove quickly away from the village with one destination, Zainuddin Abdul Madjid airport.
