"PURSUING LOVE AND LOVE"

Episode 11 "SURPRISE ON THE ROAD TO HOME"

 Bus X is going fast. The journey is very smooth and not hampered by congestion. But suddenly Tio woke up from his sleep because the bus suddenly stopped. The sound of people screaming made him wonder because he did not realize what had just happened. Tio blinked, so that his gaze would no longer blur. Karna had just woken up from a long sleep, even if only in the passenger seat. Tio felt his sleep was quite quality.

Apparently the driver almost hit an animal that was crossing the road. Understandably this time the bus began to climb towards the villages.

 This is kewa village. Tio did not count it either. What he remembers first, after this there will be a resting place or rest area, but this is no longer a toll line, rest this area is only for buses with long distance travel. To simply rest the engine, and its passengers. There are quite complete facilities here. There are restaurants, refueling stations, atms, toilets, houses of worship, and some souvenir stalls typical of local residents. There are even some stalls that also provide various kinds of souvenirs.

There is nothing that makes Tio interested except to want to quickly get to his house. Tio remembered wanting to buy his sister fireworks, but he intended to buy them at the traditional market only later.

 The paved road to the village even looks nicer and smoother. Yes, because to this line rarely passes it except public transportation. And the vehicles of the residents only. Until the aspal road is quite durable even though it is always used by road users every day.

Yes, farmers only occasionally bring produce by transportation. The rest is only by motorbike and bicycle, unlike in the city, the streets are always full and jammed. The air is sometimes very polluting, if in the village, always cool and fresh even though facing summer but still rich with clean air.

In the village is always beautiful, maybe that's one of the reasons why the air in the village is still pure, because in the village there is no industry such as factories or the like, other than rice milling plants. It also does not produce hazardous waste, other than smoke from the fuel alone.

Because rice waste is not waste.

Many use it to process it back into plant fertilizer, if burned into dust can also be sold as a mixture of dishwashing materials in addition to detergent. Rice sandpaper can also be mixed with clay to make a traditional fire stove as a cooking tool.

Many more kratifitas and other haskar. Even rice dregs can also be used as a substitute for firewood. Everything in the village is natural, natural.

 After successfully bagging several boxes of fireworks, Tio rushed back to the bus with the group who was in the same direction.

Smiling to buy it. At least this will amuse her sisters a little later. Incidentally there is a bonus from Mr. Dani before returning home. So it's okay to spend a little.

When else can he buy, he thought, after all his sisters can only be a spectator for the happiness of other friends. Because let alone to buy such things, for basic needs only Thursday, far from enough.

It's sad for Tio to have to remember all that. But lucky he still has them. Tio remembered, one of his coworkers even lived only as a country. Luckily his friend is now married, has a new family, and has children. So the loneliness is gone from his friend now. All that a little mirror for his life, in order to always be grateful, which although he was poor, but there are still some friends in his family who are still in his possession today, namely his mother and sisters.

 Get off the bus Tio continue on foot.

The baby bag that he carried was enough to slow his steps. In addition to the one on the back, Tio also carries a few more in his hands, bags and bags filled with souvenirs from the city B which he bought in installments. Intentionally he uses money tips from shop consumers to taste. In order to get home he can bring all these souvenirs.

In his exhausted steps. And suddenly!

"A'aaa!!..." (A'a means sister) Tio also spontaneously turned his head, looking for the direction of the sound.

Two boys ran from behind him.

Apparently zaka and his twin sister zaki.

 Tio smiled sumringah welcomed their presence, in addition to kangen because Tio was also happy there would be someone who helped him bring the bags in his tent, which made him bother a little. likewise, his two sisters who laughed happily while sticking out their hands as greetings and kissed his brother's hand, Tio.

 Tio "tujang ti marana? Geuning sesame from a handyman?" (Where's sister from? How come from behind?)

 Twins: "tos ameng a!" (Look out!) Answering almost simultaneously.

The happy hue could not be hidden from the innocent faces anymore, welcoming the arrival of the older brother.

They scramble to bring the bags that Tio brought from the city.

 A sweet smile that reluctantly went from his faces. Signs they are happy to see their brother who has not come home for a long time. That simple makes them happy.

Maybe these children also come home to enjoy lunch made by their beloved mother.

Meeting at the right time, when Tio really needs help.

 The three of them continued their journey home. Of course, I welcome their arrival. Immediately the mother served drinking water with her pitcher. Yes the average citizen in the village has a pot, and a jug.

It is better to store water in a jug, because the water will feel cool and fresh. Because the jug is made of clay that is finished with only burned. The jug also contains no chemical elements.

Besides being able to make the water remain rich in minerals as well, it is said that it can reduce the heat in the. Cool and healthy, although not as cold as refrigerator water.

She served all the food she cooked that afternoon.

The serepot welcomed Tio's arrival, as if Tio was the guest of honor in his eyes.

Tio himself even felt sorry to be treated like that.

It feels too special to him. But Tio had to take it a little.

If there was a mother who had not seen her child for a long time, all mothers would have done the same as they do today.

And Tio also enjoyed the dish accompanied by his mother and two younger siblings.

I don't know where Anita was her sister back then.

Tio guessed that Anita might still be in the fields.

Tio did not want to ask about the whereabouts of her sister Anita for now.
