CIRCUMCISION

Wisdom on failure

Sulistyowati was busy dressing Naris' wound with a tear of the cloth she was wearing, so that the fresh blood would not seep out.

"I Sulistyowati, I got here because I kidnapped them. After the robbery, they took me all the way to this place." Sulistyowati replied while looking down.

"Are you going to take me hostage, who you are, and why you saved us here." Sulistyowati railed various questions to Naris.

Naris was weak, but when he heard the barrage of questions from Sulistyowati, he smiled and looked at the girl in front of him unblinkingly.

"Where is your house, show us. Fear not! we're good people, you don't have to worry."

"I'm Sulistyowati sir, I'm an orphan . My mother worked for ndoro Wedono in Blitar."

"They kidnapped me at a folk party in Nglegok village in Penataran." Sulistyowati is clear.

Naris listened carefully, every explanation he heard. " You women gather in one place. We'll take you back to your families."

"And do I look old, so you call me sir." Naris laughed to herself hearing Sulistyowati's funny reply.

Then Naris tried to get up from where he was leaning, on a big rock. Without realizing it, beside the big stone there is a Javanese letter with Javanese dates and the names of Suyud and Yatemi that have been placed in that place.

Naris bowed back crouching and rubbed the stone belly button, "Pak dhe! Mbok Yatemi. rest in peace, Your children and grandchildren are united." Naris's smile was painted.

"Your struggle is not in vain sir dhe, one day, I am sure they will definitely stop by and remember this place." Then stand up and walk towards those who have been waiting for him. Sulistyowati followed Naris while bowing her head.

"who's their tomb, sir..? do you know any of those bastards?" Sulistyowati asked a lot.

"Call me kang! not sir! Do I look old?" Said Naris while hiding her smile.

"Sorry mmm.. ka.kang...!"

""The two tombs are the tombs of the first inhabitants of this place, and they were also killed by the Sardi plotters.

"When you're with me, you'll know who they are." Naris replied lightly while walking in unison with them.

"I don't want to be with you until I go home and see you." Sulistyowati replied while running away from Naris.

"Don't run, be careful your legs are hurt." Shouted Naris, but ignored by Sulistyowati.

While they had finished praying, purifying and burying the victims most of the Tunggak herd included Bogel.

They stayed overnight at the venue, as it was not possible for them to get out of the teak mat in a night position, and bring some lightly injured members, and the women with them.

That night it was a spatter, the sound of the night animal being a silent witness. The end of the hiding place of the hoodlums, robbers and cowards like Sardi and Tunggak.

They gathered at several points of vigil alternately, the women spread smiles and relief, over the release of the shackles that had chained her some time ago.

They told each other their joys and sorrows during being slaves to the lusts of those bastards.

Naris accidentally sees the little girl Sulistyowati, asleep on the lap of a woman beside him.

The wounds on his legs were seen wrapped in white gauze, and given medicine for their supplies.

"Hushh... sopo le..?" Parman their commanding officer.

"A. anu. kang. nothing." Naris answered Parman's question.

"Why...? he ayu lo le, although small he is strong, the rebellious spirit is very large, he is not afraid even in quite terrible circumstances, for a child of his age."

"I'm sure Sardi's herd has misfired people's children." Parman said with a crisp laugh.

Naris fell silent, at first glance, reflecting on Sulastri's sweet smile. Her dream girl had been in per Harjito's wife, and it was unlikely that it would adorn her dreams again.

"You're sad, le..?" Ask Parman again.

"We will expand the pursuit area, if you look from the direction they run is to go to the beach area Pacitan. It won't be hard to catch them."

"It's only time that has not been on our side, maybe Sardi is currently with his herd escaped, but not with his men. Many died in vain." Parman spoke while glaring away, as if he deeply regretted the stupid things they lived."

"And one more le..."

"What is kang..?" Tanya Naris did not understand where the last direction of Parman's conversation was headed.

"We can help them, to get back to their families." Parman, pointing his index finger, at the women sitting together, then Parman again smoked his twig deep.

#It turns out that in every movement, deed, and journey there is a hidden wisdom and story.

Struggle is something that is needed in life, if the Creator allows life without obstacles and struggles, it may paralyze us, because we will always be arrogant with all ease, he said, until they finally fall and lose.#

Even the night brought their tired eyes closed, until they met in the morning sunlight. Cigarette rooster jago mat teak wake up their sleep.

"Yu this morning, a different morning huh.." A woman from one of them.

"Usually every morning, I wake up with fear. This time I woke up feeling happy, and pictured the hometown is already in my eyes yu." The woman replied naively.

Hearing the women's innocent words, clearly making Suparman's heart, he knew where their conversation was headed.

"Are any of you feeling any pain, or something?"

"If yes.., tomorrow when we get to the city, we go straight to the medicine hall. Do a check on all of you." Sad to be exposed clearly at the end of the word.

Sulistyowati who listened to their words, inched back. And held tightly to his feet which he used to support his chin.

"Why are you...?" Parman looked at the girl with pity, who was thought to be like her daughter at about fifteen to seventeen.

"Sa.I want to go home pa..paman.."

"I'm scared here, I just want to go back to my mom." Sulistyowati Island.

"We will go home together, you guys get ready.we will travel to the settlement some distance from here.

One of the women came out from behind the gedhek bulkhead, carrying a warm palm sugar drink, and tiwul rice which still has a lot of stock of food supplies spoiled by the population.

Preparations were immediately carried out, food that at that time was not easy for them to get. They took it, and gathered it together, and they packed it up on the lizard, the spoils of Bogel and Sardi at that time.

Their women boarded a patrol car, with several people riding in a car behind them.

Naris was with Parman among them as well.

Then the rest, leaving with the thugs of the robbers. Before leaving, they deliberately burned down every building they had plotted.

Animals in the form of goats and chickens they release freely, After the fire that soared high began to extinguish and safe, then they left the place full of tragedy.
