Andi X Sarah's

52. Maling (SEASON 2)

Picklock

The night is getting late. From the window Andi clearly saw the right bulant shining above the top of Mount Singgalang. The chanting of crickets in the bush beside the house brings a melodious atmosphere, not silent as in the house. Mr. Uwo and Etek have returned to their respective homes. Live Andi and Grandma survive in this old house with a brown plywood ceiling. Waiting for tomorrow morning, hoping it's not as cold as it was.

Grandma's been asleep since nine. Meanwhile, Andi was still awake at midnight. Feeling bored, Andi could wake Grandma for permission to leave the house. Coincidentally not far from home there is a domino shop that is always crowded by young villagers. It's not hard, Andi immediately got permission. Try it if the same Mama, surely will not be given permission to go out at this hour.

Yes, the young people are busy playing dominoes in the tavern. Some of them sat in front of the TV to watch the ball game tonight. Scented the smell of clove tobacco as Andi entered the store. Of course Andi greeted some people there to make it a little more polite.

"Unni, coffee ciek. Duo spoon se gulonyo," pinta Andi to buibu shop.

Brother, coffee one. Two spoons of it.

The dominoes are getting stronger. The cries of the spectators were louder than those of the dominoes players when one of the players instantly locked the stone to win.

Of course they speak using Minang language yes .. ni directly transletin aja.

"Ehh, winning instead went away. Play again dong," said one of the players.

"Eh, it's late at night, Bang. Gotta go home."

"Sort of badcong I see you. Just go home in the morning."

He stood up and walked towards the parking lot.

"Who wants to play?" ask the father.

Wow this is a great opportunity. Andi immediately raised his hand, because for days Andi did not play dominoes calmly. This domino is a means to surf the brain, because it can count as well. See what stone has not come out, guess what stone is the same opponent, and try to pamper friends so that the stone is free to come out. School pinters can't play dominoes.

"Well, the young man's spirit can too. Whose son?" ask the father.

"Mum Nurhayati's grandson."

"Ondeh, our son apparently. Eti's son, right?"

Eti is his mother's calling here. Hearing this, Andi nodded happily.

"here to. We both fight them. This father is the same mom you. Andi's name, right? I haven't seen you in a long time. It was a baby."

"Yes, Sir. My name is Andi, sir. Let's play." Andi sat at an empty table to dress up with the father. "What is this? Money or what?"

Andi understands that if you play in the store, there must be something at stake. You see Andi has long been in the world of pedagogy, so it is not awkward to see this atmosphere.

"Other cigarettes, twice broke up."

"Okay, just play."

Playing mandan is a domino term in Sumatra to play dominoes in pairs. Maybe in other areas it has a different name. So, they both have to understand each other in order to defeat their opponent pairs.

Rock stirred. The dealer waits for each player to take seven miles to play. Andi was lucky, in his first stone he immediately got empty balak and several stones that have the same number eyes. Therefore, Andi has the right to throw the first stone because it has an empty beam.

Andi's cup of coffee has arrived. His hand lifted the cup while putting a pack of cigarettes on the table. If you have collected this, there is no longer a personal cigarette, everything belongs together. Who wants to, take it. But yes have a sense of tolerance as well, it is not polite to take a cigarette that only remains a stick. An unwritten fight says that the last cigarette belonged to the one with the cigarette pack.

Two turns Andi can still master the game. Since the father was still glancing at Andi's lyrics, maybe he still guessed Andi's style of play. Andi get a good tip of the stone, because it can be pitted immediately let their opponents birth. The stone in the lock, Andi opened his remaining stone to compare with the opponent's stone. If the number of Andi stones is smaller than the opponent, then they win the game.

Andi smiled abstrusely, indeed he was still small compared to them. But, the experience of playing stones should not be underestimated. The father gave a thumbs up to Andi because of his efforts to silence the opponent's stone.

"You play too. Learn from where?" ask the father.

"Play in the store, sir. Ordinary young ...."

The stone is stirred again to start the second game. However, everything was shocked by someone who reported something while fretting. The father stood up to approach.

"What's wrong?" ask the father.

"This is Mr. Lai, there's a burrow near that big junction. People are already surrounded, the thief is still in the house."

Andi only found out if the name of the distended father was named Pak Lai.

"Come, let's go after it. You'll escape."

Uanjir, everyone immediately ran. Anything that is seen immediately taken to be a weapon. Some take the beam, some take the glass bottle, pliers in the motorcycle seat, uh Andi has not got anything. Fortunately, he has a belt to be given a weapon. Gebukin maling.

Someone suddenly ran out of the alley followed by a crowd of people who ran away while lifting blocks.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Suddenly everyone immediately followed. Andi who is young and still seger easily lead in the first row. Rich people run. Anyway Andi as strong as possible to pursue tuh maling. The crowd of the majority of the distraught fathers was left behind.

This opportunity makes Andi more excited. The run grew faster without a hitch. He pulled the purse until he was thrown rolling. It was directly Andi Hajarin him when he again fell. Twice, three times, four times, until his nose bleeds. However, Andi was thrown backwards when the thief kicked his stomach.

"Here if you dare," said the thief in Minang. A knife was clasped in his hand.

"hey!!! you think I'm scared. Fear me, anjirr ...."

They chased Andi quickly. Yes his name is a knife, Andi run away. His intention is to kill people, who would dare, right?

Andi was almost slashed, fortunately he was able to dodge. With the science of brawl in the streets, Andi dropped the thief with a single hand. Next to Andi's feet held the hand of the thief who again held the knife. Gelud can not be avoided, Andi also got bogem head. Fortunately, the knife was still able to hold Andi.

People arrive on time. A beam hit the head of the thief. The thief staggered and slipped from Andi's grip. Someone pulled Andi away from the incoming crowd. While ngosan, Andi ngelihat maling who became the months of citizens.

Their pursuit of the thief finally succeeded. Maling tied his hands while stripped. His face was puffy, his eyes were swollen. Not satisfied, residents still mukulin when the thief was herded. Actually Andi pingin really mukulin the thief, but he was again in a limp condition because of the fistfight earlier.

Mr. Lai approached Andi. "Andi, ang taluko's hand."

Andi, your hands are bleeding.

"***** ...." His eyes looked at the blood flowing in his hands. The knife cut his hand.

"To my father's house first. Treated," take Mr. Lai.

"Yes, Sir. Let's." Let's."

Mr. Lai took Andi to his house. Andi was amazed because the road had been passed by Andi before. Until he arrived on the road to climb with a house at the top.

"Let's go in."

"Is this Clara's house?" andi asked in amazement.

"Clara is a father. You must know. I've met you, right?"

It turns out that Mr. Lai is Clara's father. There is no such thing at all.

Andi was told to sit in the living room while waiting for Mr. Lai who again to a room. Not long after, Clara came out of the room in a nightgown suit and spoiled hair. His still sleepy gaze watched Andi's bleeding hands.

"Eh, how can this be?" Clara held Andi's bloody hand.

He did not answer. Andi was busy looking at Clara's face which was so worried about her. Clara's hand touched her heart. How could he meet someone who cared so much. Not a beauty he admires, but the caring and sincere heart of Clara helps others. Exactly rich ideal wives that Andi expects.

"Answer, dong!" force Clara.

"Oh, it was chasing. Bring a knife."

Mr. Lai peeked out of the room with a mother who looked so much like Clara.

"Clara, mother heat the water. You treat Andi's wound, just pull the turmeric outside."

"Yes, Mother. Just jerk." Clara's hand released her touch. "You hold your hand up and pressed. Let the blood come out again."

About five minutes Clara arrived with hot water and a swab complete with turmeric on top. His hands shrewdly open the skin of turmeric and knead the kunyi to a pulp. After that he put a cloth that has been moistened with hot water.

"Hold yes. It's a little sick."

"Aww .. not a bit more, but sick."

"You're the sok-sokan chasing the thief. It's the same here in your town."

"Thank you ..."

"Yes ..."

Andi's hands are sprinkled with turmeric that has been rubbed by Clara. Right, it feels really hot. However, Clara said that the more sick, the better. After that, he wrapped it with a bandage slowly.

"Tomorrow morning I'll go home to clean up your wounds."

"Oh, no need. I can do it myself" replied Andi.

"We don't want to go for a walk. If you don't want yaudah."

"Oh yes, too."

"Let me drive home."

The streets at two in the morning seemed so quiet that they reached the front of Grandma's house. Andi came down while smiling at the bright Clara by the radiance of the headlights. Moon became a witness, Mount Singgalang also witnessed Andi who was stunned when Clara again touched Andi's hand complete with useful suggestions. Andi's chest was pounding, just like before.

Thank you, that's the only word Andi said without being answered by the woman. As usual, Clara often did not answer at the end of the conversation. He accompanied her with a sincere smile. Until arriving in the room, Andi still kept the smile while feeling the pain that changed into something valuable.
