BABE JADULKU

The Part 30

* Bang Parlindungan POV*

As a child born and raised in the village, my life was not far from mud, grass and oxen. Coincidentally our village is a cattle and buffalo farmer village. Since the age of ten, I have been herding cattle. At that time, cattle belonged to people. His salary was one hundred rupiah per cow per day. After school straight out the cow from the cage, take it to the vast meadows in our area.

Our lives changed after there was a health center in the village, the doctor from the city, happened to wake up right in front of our house. Mr. Doctor's son is as good as I am, Rara's name. He's nice, often give me food from the city.

After finishing Elementary School, I was put into a boarding school far from the village, returning home only once every two weeks. I rarely see Rara. If we go home, we will meet, crowded watching VCD at Rara's house, in our village only Rara has a VCD. Rara loves Indian movies, especially Sanjay Dut. If we play, Rara often tells me to play Sanjay Dut.

Five years in the pesantren, the tempest hit my family, my beloved mother was very sick until she died. Dad seemed to lose his spirit, even forgot to send my shopping at the boarding school. I had to drop out of school, but two years later. Pesantren Mustafawiah Purba Baru is seven years old.

After dropping out of school, I lost my spirit, Mother was gone, school was broken, my two brothers went wandering, live me and Pardamean my youngest siblings.

One day Mr. Doctor invited me to come with him, he said looking for land to grow oil palm, because it was in our area again the season to open oil palm plantations. Of course I want and happy, because Rara also came, we traveled from Padang Lawas north to Mandailing Natal, a fairly long road trip, took eight hours by car.

Stop for a while in the city of Padang Sidwemuan just continue the journey to Mandailing. In the middle of the trip, suddenly Rocky Pak doctor's car broke down, while away from the nearest village, left right of the road is still a wilderness.

"Parlin, you can trust me, keep Rara here first, I want to go to the village looking for mortar," said the Doctor.

"Can, sir, can," I said later.

Both in the car with a beautiful girl in the middle of the forest. Ah, this doctor trusts me too much, I have to keep this trust. I just kept quiet, while Rara was cool to hear Indian songs.

"It seems you speak Indian, Rara," I asked to break the silence.

"Son," he answered briefly, he rattled the volume of music from the TV recorder he was carrying.

Suddenly two RX King motorcycles stopped in the back of the car. Rara turned off the music, the streets were deserted. Four people got off the bike, one of them caught the windshield. I opened it, and ...

"What's up, Bang?" I speak the Angkola Batak language.

The man took out a long machete, and stuck it to my neck, of course I couldn't get a wart. Then one more person opened the door, two people booth by on the motorbike.

"Give me all your money" said the man.

"There's no money, Bang," I replied. In my pocket there is no money.

"Hey, don't bacot you too much, she said as she fumbled through my pockets, while Rara was already deathly pale in the backseat.

Because there was no money, they turned to Rara, the gold necklace around Rara's neck they snatched, Rara screamed.

"Bang Pain, help me, it's my mother's necklace" Rara said.

Out of nowhere, I immediately searched for weapons, one of those who held a machete was busy checking our bags, this was my chance, I got a British key under the seat, I hit him straight into the head of the man holding the machete, he staggered. Friends on the bike came, I immediately ran to their bike, I kicked the bike to enter the ravine. Someone attacked me with a knife, a knife hit my hand, blood poured out. Fortunately along with that came the doctor along with two mortars. The criminals ran away, the motorbike and one of them stayed.

The doctor then treated my injured hand, and the mortar called the police.

Since then, I trusted the doctor as Rara's guard, I was also happy, with Rara it felt fun, even if all day playing Indian music.

When the land can, I trusted the doctor to take care of it and take care of it, he said the adoptive system. After the harvest is divided in two.

My relationship with Rara became more intimate, until Rara's mother finally found a book on Rara's diary, the issue around our relationship. Rara's mother was furious. He doesn't want his son to be in touch with a dropout like me.

"Bang Pain, Dad moved on duty, we're moving to Bandung" Rara said one afternoon.

"Then what about me, Rara?"

"Prove to my mother that Bang Pain can be a person, we will come again later, after the palm is harvested," Rara said.

"Mara,"

"Wait for me, Bang Pain, we have to move, I want to go to ITB,"

"Don't leave me, Rara,"

"I'll come again, Bang Pain, it's a pedet please take care of, the Mona too," said Rara. Pedet is a new breed of calf, while Mona is her furry cat.

"Rara, can't you just go to college here,"

"Where? here there is no campus, already, Bang, just wait, one request me, be Sanjay Dutku," said Rara while holding the back of my hair that had begun to long.

The doctor also told me.

"Parlin, of all the young men in this village, I like you the most, you're brave, take care of that palm, two more years will harvest, stay there you, this is for a fee and so on, so on, if the harvest comes later," said Mr. Doctor while giving a large amount of money.

"I'll wait for you, Rara, I'll keep your trust," my mind as I shed tears.

Armed with the money Mr. Doctor gave me, I rented a truck with cows and cats, I'll stay in the garden, waiting for Rara to come. I take care of the cow well, the cat is also maintained, when I see the cow, Rara's shadow is always imagined. I'll take care of that goblet hair, I'll be Sanjay Dut for Rara.

From that moment on, the era like it stopped for you, when people's hair followed the model, I remained faithful with goblet hair, hoping to one day meet Rara again.

One year later, the doctor came directly to the garden, but I was sad, Rara did not come. Until finally the palm harvest, Rara did not also come, which always comes Doctor.

"Parlin, we have sold all the houses in the village, we will settle in Java," said the doctor one day, when he came again.

"Keep this palm, sir,"

"It's all for you, man,"

"But, Sir,"

"You've bet on saving Rara's life, it's not comparable, but if you want to pay too, love someone who really needs it, consider it zakat, clean property, helped people," the Doctor said again.

"How's Rara doing, sir?" I asked him too.

"She's fine, Rara sends her regards to you" said the doctor.

Yes, God, just say hello I feel very happy, I hold my goblet hair, I will keep this until I meet him.

Palm oil began to harvest, employees began to be added. Because it is used to living with cows, when harvesting oil palm, I buy cows, finally that is my activity in this garden farming oil palm and raising cows.

Five years passed, Rara has not come yet, want to contact me do not know how, he said first after five years he will come, because his college will be finished. While the cow of his gift was already great, I took care of him with heart. I gave you the best food.

I was so sad when the Mona-the big hairy cat died. I have to tell Rara. When I finished selling the cows, I went to the nearest town. The name of the city I see people have started to change. Some already have cell phones. Suddenly my intention was to buy as well, who knew I could contact Rara.

"Which is the best here?" ask me on HP sellers in Panyabungan Market.

"Oh, this, sir, Nokia 1100, can be polyphonic" he replied.

"Can't you call all the way to Java?"

"Can, can,"

"How much?".

"Seven hundred and fifty thousand,"

"Oh, pack," I said confidently, one crackle money is in hand. What if only seven hundred and fifty thousand.

"All the cards, sir?"

"Yes, guys?"

"What card, sir?"

"The best, who can call up to the island of Java,"

"Oh, well, where to stay, sir, because the mobile operator hasn't gotten the signal to some place."

"meaning?"

"Look, sir, another area of signal that can, here for example Indosat, there can't be Indo"t, musti Telk""sel,"

"Oh, the Singkuang area went inside again, the oil palm plantation,"

"Oh, I'm sorry, sir, the area has no signal yet,"

"Yes, have you made the signal there, how many?"

The woman in front of me looked gawking, then she laughed. Is it because of how I look, or he's not sure I can pay. I took the crackle bag and showed him the contents of the bag.

Laughing, he tried to explain to me, I struggled to digest his explanation, but I did not understand it either. Finally I went home, HP was bought, but not used.

"Rara, come, Mona is dead, Pedet is no longer pedet, he is now the Nunung. My hair looks like Sanjay Dut," my mind as I hold the back of the head.
