Dusk In Eye Pelupuk

Sweet grandma, Jena grimaces.

The light rain so comfortably greeted the earth, as if releasing long after so long stay above the blue sky.

On the way, the three men were really surprised by the path they had to travel. Leaving the car at the border of the city, they boarded a large boat for the first time. Really, Gibran was very happy on this trip. The boat they were riding on split open the Mentaya river at high speed, the man with round eyeballs like a boba stood up while stretching out both hands. Make Agam immediately pull it down.

"You think we're aboard the Titanic? if you fall into this river, I can't guarantee to save you," he growled, how not, the current of this river is very heavy, especially Gibran did that when they were about to cross under the bridge. What if the boy's head gets stuck in there?

"I love the wind in this city, it's so cool" he said grimacingly patting his ass.

"Lantas, are you going to neglect safety in order to enjoy the cool breeze? why don't you hang your head there? let's just say you donated your head for the bridge behind."

Really, Arkan's words made the boy's guts shrivel. Highlight his eyes snapped when he realized how close their heads were to the foundation of the bridge as it flashed beneath him. As soon as Gibran swallowed the saliva, if Agam had been a few seconds late, Arkan said, his head would have hung in that place.

Sitting quietly under Arkan's sharp gaze, the tyrant Gibran did not dare to simply glance at his eldest brother.

There was no more conversation between them, Arkan with all his thoughts raging, nor Agam. While Gibran, silent for fear of re-igniting the emotions of these two men with him.

Like the road that Jena had taken, they also pulled over on the highway inundated with water. Riding a rented car and again ended up in the port of emergency, again they took a boat to get to the destination.

"So, Jena's through these streets" said Agam. The man's words were clearly heard by Gibran, causing the man to think the same thing.

"It's only as small as a little finger, but the steps have reached this place" Gibran said.

The two eyebrows Agam intertwined"So, in your eyes Jena is only as big as a little finger?."

"Sure," said Gibran as light as a feather. If he had said that in front of Jena, surely a death kick had lodged in his stomach.

"Ck! you underestimate her too much" decih Agam.

...___________...

The afternoon was approaching, the sky turned grey as volunteers joined the SAR team along the flooded areas. For residents who have two-story houses, they still choose to live there while waiting for the water to come down.

In small boats, volunteers and SAR teams distributed food to them. Although he was asked to wait

the arrival of Agam and his two brothers in the tent, in fact now Jena has joined them.

"I don't want my arrival to be in vain, at least let me come with you guys to share the pot this afternoon. My heart warms to see their cheerful faces when they receive help" Jena said as she tried to reassure Zafirah.

It turns out true, the gray sky this time is indeed followed by the rain. Slowly the speck went down, making each of them tighten the jacket they were wearing.

The boat on Jena slowly separated from the boat on Zafirah. Along with one volunteer and one SAR team member, Jena distributed the groceries to the next alley of the village. The ripples of happiness are clearly depicted on the faces of the citizens, and this makes the hearts of the volunteers are filled, they are still able to smile in the midst of the disaster that is sweeping.

In a house at the end of the alley, there was a grandmother who was trapped in the flood. It was only known when a resident said that the grandmother insisted on refusing to be taught to evacuate to her level home.

Soon, Jena and two of her colleagues headed for the nene's residence. And sure enough, the grandmother with makeshift equipment was surviving in her residence.

"Water will come down soon, I will stay on this stage" he said as the SAR team persuaded the grandmother to evacuate.

Jena circulated the view, the condition of the house was quite spacious, very dear to the grandmother living alone in that place. Leave only a few fingers, if the rain continues to fall until tomorrow, most likely the stage of the grandmother who was built in the middle of her house will be submerged in water.

SAR team members began to be overwhelmed to persuade the grandmother, as well as fellow volunteers Jena.

"Sir, let me carry," longitude Jena patted her little shoulder.

"No way, after all with a small body so you won't be able to carry me," said the grandmother. Obviously, his body was very puffed up, the grandmother in a big golden dress was really difficult to be invited to leave the residence.

Jena smiled bitterly"The grandmother's house is at the end of the alley, grandma is not afraid at night alone?."

"No, I'm used to living alone. Even with gold on my body, thank God it never becomes unpleasant" he said while playing with water. The grandmother seemed to be swinging her legs dangling in the water.

"Otherwise at night" he continued.

It is true, a few days ago there were residents who bit the python, its fangs stuck very deep in the calf of the citizen.

"Heh, don't scare me," the granny immediately put her foot on the stage.

Jena chuckled, as well as her fellow volunteers.

Very dear, the grandmother did not like to laugh.

First of all, the grandmother was willing to be taken to a shelter, instead of hitching a ride in her neighbor's attic house.

"I'm not sure it'll be safe in her house, she's got kids who are always noisy" she said.

The second, the grandmother asked Jena and two colleagues to pack large cooking utensils belonging to the grandmother who was flooded onto the stage. Whether the profession of the grandmother, the old woman had very much cooking furniture, took almost 1 hour just to pack her cooking utensils.

The third, the grandmother's legs were painful, and the grandmother was not willing to be carried by SAR team members, citing uncomfortable contact with the opposite sex. Hahahha, there's-there's just this grandmother's excuse.

As a result, fellow volunteer Jena volunteered to carry the grandmother out of the house to the boat.

"Why didn't the boat just get into this house? grandma can go directly into the boat instead," said Jena. The depth of the water inside the grandmother's house was above the knee, the boat could enter and float with that depth.

"Don't! pamali if there's a boat going into the house," Grandma's words make Jena's brain think hard, only this time she heard such a rule. Not just Jena, but the other two.

The grandmother looked to be packing her clothes, asking"Will it eat well there? honestly, I only ate dried fish while I was staying in this house."

"At least there will not eat dried fish, Grandma" said a volunteer colleague.

"I want to eat chicken" said the grandmother, still packing.

Jena looked at the grandmother who was quite chatty, really her heart was anxious to immediately kidnap the grandmother from this place. Other than being chatty, the granny ruled too much and asked about this and that. Jena who was born with a super duper thin patient stock began to get upset with the behavior of this old woman.

"It looks like in the post kitchen we have chicken stock, let's go packing, if they cook chicken stock this afternoon the grandmother will likely not be part," the volunteer colleagues chatted back.

"Why is that?" asked Grandma to stop her activities.

Breathe in order to maintain patience in the heart"For......"

"Because grandma is so slow," sambar Jena cut off the words of fellow volunteers.

"The day has begun late in the afternoon, our dinner menu may not be left much when we arrive at the shelter," he said again, making SAR team members feel tight, and the, he was worried that the grandmother would sulk to cancel her intention to move to a refugee camp.

However, the grandmother's mentality is not as weak as crackers. The old granny smiled slantedly looking at Jena.

"I'm done, hold me fast," he reached out to Jena.

Surprised, Jena's two eyes almost jumped out hearing the grandmother's words.

"I,." she asked, pointing at herself.

The grandmother smiled very sweetly, nodding"Yes, I'll come with you to the refugee camp, but you'll have to carry me."
