TURANGGA

Tulungagung 1965

"MIYINGGGIIIIIIIIIIII..........!"

With a speeding Turangga bike, the 10-year-old girl shouted loudly while balancing the handlebar. Her left foot is on the bench in the frame of the bike and hangs on the right side, while her right foot is treading on the pedal. Because it is not high enough to sit on the saddle, then the sitting position is sideways like a noble woman who rides a horse if using a dress. Well, it will look feminine if you do not remember the speed of the bike is so tight.

Bike Turangga

With a noisy voice, it made some people around the place pay attention while shaking their heads in disbelief.

"PEARL PAAAK, AWAAS... MINGGIIIER!"

The boy shouted with a feeling of panic. He saw a merchant with a pikulan from a distance.

The image of the merchants of old.

With a moment, the distance was getting closer. Because the turangga bike does not have handbrakes, the boy was also upset and resigned when his bike almost hit the trader.

The sound of screaming people around was also connected..

"AWAS PAAAAK!", "PIR MOVE!", "PAK NO BIKESAAA...!"

But baby, the banana trader was late to look up his head. His eyes were round, his mouth gaping in shock. While saying a prayer, the merchant shifted to balance his shoulder. He managed to pull over, but not with his trade that hapir filled the road makadam.

"A, A, A, A, A,AAA!,"

'DIE ME' in the boy's heart immediately closed his eyes...

The spade grazed one side of the pikulan and slammed, making the skinny body of the merchant fall on a banana that had been messed up. Speda rolled to the other side and the girl sat on top of him managed to change position to a minimum of getting injured. With a pale face, he kept his eyes closed while tightening his jaw afraid of the consequences of what he did.

He heard some people coming while talking, most likely helping the sword he hit. He slowly opened one eye, peeking at the surroundings. When he saw the several pairs of legs in front of him, his eyes widened in shock. Some of the neighbors had already gone around forming a semicircle in front of him while ruffled around looking at him sharply. He resigned and immediately shone the horse.

"Hehe.. sorry..." He said as he cupped his two small palms. Ami, that's her name. The 3rd of 5 children of Mr. Soemany and Ms. Widji.

"His son just said sorry, quickly stood up to help the father bring his trade home. The others let us help bring. Tell your mother at home what you've done!" Mbak Anti-sodara said far away also his neighbor while pointing to the father of the merchant who was picking up merchandise that was ragged because of his actions.

With his head down he approached the sad-faced banana trader who was justifying the location of the piculan. Some people who have come partly to help pick up bananas that are still intact, others help clean the damaged banana splashes and throw them away. While mbak Anti encourages speda turangga which is actually his which Ami borrowed to study without his knowledge.

"Sorry sir..." Ami said while helping to arrange bananas on a piculan basket without daring to look at the person.The feelings raged between fear of sadness and pity being one.

The merchant stared and felt regret the boy just smiled resignedly, holding onto one shoulder the boy said "It's okay, nduk... (a common name for girls there) is your body hurt?" tanyakanya.

"No." Sahut Ami short while putting the last banana that can be saved.

After the macadam road was clean, some people went home while carrying bananas they bought out of pity. Ami, Mbak Anti and the banana trader sir walked towards the house of Pak Man (call of Ami's father).

Makadam Road

ket: Usually macadam road consists of rocks or gravel in the middle and sand or fine soil on both sides. And people will choose to walk on the smooth side, only cars or large vehicles use the middle side.
