The Siji Tenth

The white light collided with each other, resulting in a bright shiny silver color. There was also the sound of human voices muttering and understated speech. It looked as if a large circle was pale in a little blue, and a human figure fell into it.

Purbo is in a place that is difficult to explain. He felt like he was drowning in water. The throat feels like it is losing its breath. The shadow of his life that had been passed spilled there, like watching a drama with a story about his life story.

A beautiful woman with a black paddle walked with Purbo's hand in the middle of the raindrop. The cold air and the smell of wet soil stung, and Purbo loved the smell. Purbo misses the atmosphere.

Purbo recognized the beautiful woman. Her lips were red, like lychees. Thin, petite, and sweet. Without powder and excessive makeup the girl looks almost blameless.

Not Dini, not Sekar. Winda. Country girl, Purbo's friend from kindergarten first. The love of the monkey becomes mature affection. Even the promise to establish a more serious relationship has been pledged by Purbo on Winda.

A beautiful plan can be designed by humans. But results and destiny are not the power of Purbo to ask. Bu Sudarsih is known to be seriously ill and requires immediate surgery. Purbo strives, working in several places at once. Sacrificing her time for her lover.

One morning in the rain, Purbo meets Winda. The girl looks beautiful with black eyeballs, as dark as her umbrella.

"I'm sorry" Purbo said.

"For what?" ask Winda with a frown.

"I never had time for you" Purbo looked down. His face was bent in a piteous manner. The face was full of sadness.

"Calm down. I will always be waiting for you" replied Winda with a smile. Purbo rubbed his chin in the cold rain.

"After work, we walk for a while. To the beach, or the town square," Pinta Winda spoiled.

"Look at the twilight sky huh," Purbo nodded in agreement.

Purbo never thought that their meeting was the last. The beautiful and soothing smile was gone. Winda was pronounced dead during the day while sleeping on his bedroom bed. A quiet death, without complaint without a sound.

As if losing a foothold in his footsteps, Purbo felt crushed just then. His mother was lying weakly in the hospital and his lover had been gone for a long time. Even Purbo could not deliver Vinda to the burrow. Purbo just sat pensively in the hospital hallway, with a blank look.

Until finally, Dini's smooth fingers held out help. Invite Purbo to rise again. With a small smile at the corner of her lips, Dini revived the despair in Purbo's heart.

In a short time they decided to fill each other up. However, the image of Winda in fact never completely disappeared from the heart of Purbo. An affection for Dini is nothing more than a desire to return the favor. Moreover, seeing an Early temperament that felt arrogant even tended to underestimate. Often when they walk together, Dini always feels dominant.

"Let me. I'm afraid your money won't be enough later" Dini said, each time Purbo reached into his pocket for dinner.

The wedding day was approaching, Purbo was getting more and more hesitant. Moreover, every night Purbo always dreamed of seeing the face of Winda using a black umbrella and collect his promise.

"After you get home from work, we walk the road yes," said the shadow figure of Winda in Purbo's dream.

More and more the shadow of the figure of Winda who walked using a black umbrella became so, disturbing Purbo in every activity. Until finally when Purbo rode a motorcycle after taking a wedding dress, the fateful incident was inevitable. Half daydreaming, Purbo saw a shadow of a black-robed woman crossing the street. After that incident, Purbo's memory disappeared. Now there was only a clean white screen in front of him.

Slowly the two eyeballs that did not open for days, now again see the world. The figure of Bu Sudarsih who was knitting was seen crying and embracing the body full of white bandages. Moments later, a nurse and a doctor entered the room.

Purbo has been rumored. His body condition is stable. He was observing the room where he was being treated. Clean white wall paint, with light green ceiling.

"Thank God you're sober, son. Thank you Gustiii," Ma Sudarsih cried tears of joy. Purbo is still a little absentminded. He collected fragments of his memories, trying to digest everything that had happened. His journey while in the village of Ebuh until he could return to his body that fell asleep in the hospital room.

The next few minutes, seen Dini entering the room with a row of goopoh. The woman looked beautiful, wearing a pink shirt that seemed like she had just bought.

"Yes," replied Sudarsih flat.

"It's too busy to go out first. Buy a drink," said Sudarsih. The happiness of seeing her son healed, changed little at the arrival of Dini.

"Mas, you know that you are healed because of my struggle, you know" Dini grasped Purbo's hand.

"Oh yeah?" Purbo scrunched his forehead.

"Yes. I was with Mbah Yon performing a ritual at the foot of the hill. We invited your great-grandfather. His name is Mbah Kusworo, to come to pick you up," Early eyes seemed to sparkle.

Purbo is now remembered with Mbah Yon and Mbah Kusworo. So they were both invited by Dini? Once again Purbo felt indebted to the beautiful woman before him.

"Thank you" said Purbo lirih.

Purbo is advised to rest by a doctor so that his condition is more stable. Dini and Bu Sudarsih sat in the waiting chair outside the room. The two women were busy with their activities.

Ms. Sudarsih was busy with her knitting thread. While Dini is engrossed in her gadgets. She is reporting her future husband on her social media.

"Oh, after this I and Mas Purbo got married. I asked permission to invite Mas Purbo to stay at my house," said Dini without looking at Sudarsih.

"Sir, my mother is old. Can't I be with you?" Ms. Sudarsih fixed the location of her glasses.

"Sorry Buk. I want to live independently. Take it easy, I'll arrange for a maid later. Anyway who takes care of Ibuk as well as good. The maid of choice, Ibuk just sat down to enjoy old age happily," Dini smiled.

Bu Sudarsih sighed at the words of his future daughter-in-law. In his heart, the question arises, is Purbo really happy with Dini? If you can choose, Ms. Sudarsih is more calmly left to die with her illness than recover but must sacrifice the happiness of her child.

Ten minutes in a quiet mood. There were footsteps in the hospital hallway. Lik Kani walked while carrying a black crackle-wrapped object in her right hand. Dini immediately stood up and approached Lik Kani, before the middle-aged man reached the room where Purbo was being treated.

"Where is Purbo?" ask Lik Kani. His body was full of sweat.

"Have woken up. Still rest. Lik, I ask Njengan not to talk to Purbo or Ibuk about today," said Dini rusar.

"On what? You left me in the middle of the woods?" ask Lik Kani ketus.

"I don't really have that kind of intention. You see, I have a feeling that Mas Purbo is awake. That's why I have to rush to the hospital" replied Dini.

"As for you," Lik Kani rushed over to Bu Sudarsih. Leaving Dini who was still in her place standing while clenching her hands tightly.

"Mbak Yu, the water in this pitcher will please be rubbed into Purbo's face yes," said Lik Kani thrusting an object wrapped in black crackle on Ms. Sudarsih.

"This what?" tanya Sudarsih confused.

"Emm this water giving Mbah Yon. Just rub it against Purbo Yu's face. Make a face wash. I'm going home first. Tired," Lik Kani is seen regulating the breath.

"Yes uwes. Ngati ati," said Sudarsih.
