AVOCADO AND SAWO TREES
Within a few days of the 'loss' of chicken mbak Anti, the search stopped. No one expected that the culprit was a teenage boy in the neighborhood itself. The three of them did neatly and cleanly without a trace.
That morning, Ami was able to make peace with a slight change in activity. What he used to be at Topo's shuttle, now has to be on foot. Not too far away indeed, only 600Meters distance from home to school. He would get up and leave earlier than usual.
This is her last year in Junior High, Ami walks while thinking that she might not continue school. He will only focus on making money and pursuing dance in wayang groups.
Walking about 300Meter, Ami saw there was an avocado tree whose leaves were only a little. He recalled, a few days back he rarely noticed. As he approached and sharpened his sight, he saw some caterpillars feasting on falling leaves. Perhaps, the stem was bitten so that some leaves can fall out.
Ami was immediately shocked, with the number of caterpillars that were on the ground and around the avocado tree. Instantly he turned right and walked quickly, undoing the intention to go to school. No. He will get in trouble if he does not go to school he thought while stopping and thinking again.
Then he turned back towards the school, and was ready to take a swing. Hm... If he runs, he will survive he thought. The approximate location of the tree is 20 steps from it... And he began to run away.
With her eyes closed, Ami ran away as quickly as possible leaving the avocado tree area. He ignored the strange look and wondered at the people around. Only until he felt that the distance was far enough to leave the house caterpillar, he opened his eyes and immediately stopped right behind the bicycle of the person who was parked on the side of the road.
Deftly he balances the half-hugging body of the back of the bike. 'Luckily did not fall' he murmured, turning left right. After making sure it was safe, he continued walking again while thinking he would take a detour when he returned to school later.
...~~~~...
At night, Ami hugs her brother Nar's friend to go home to the night market for the stage. It is also not always, given the busyness of each. Ami only resigned to follow anyone who would drive him, or forced to find a rickshaw and spend some of his money.
And that night, it just so happened that Nar's friend could only drive him to the end of a large street alley. Ami had to walk again about 500Meter from there to go home. After saying thank you, he started walking with a bit of horror. He is afraid of the dark.
"Y...! Don't duck, don't you see Mom here?" Tegur bu Widji surprised Ami. She accidentally saw her son, after getting a packet of tofu that she bought for her husband.
"It knows lontong, for your father. Don't ask, I bought just a pack. Your habit if the road nduk, if nabrak how?" his mother said, astonished.
"Mother does not know, on top of the tree there is waiting" Sahut Ami while pointing at a large tall sapodilla tree not far from them.
"Oh, huh? Wh who? Where" asked the mother, curious as she walked right past the tree. Ami began to grip her mother's arms as they looked up at her head.
"That's on the top branch, item.. guwede.'s eyes are red.." and instantly both goosebumps.
Bu Widji then walked quickly and half-moved Ami's hand.
"No more talking macems, I don't see anything." Said mother. "Don't like making up stories that scare people, Mi..." Reproved mother. They walk in a quiet area. There are only a few houses within a 300Meter radius. The right left is just a wall that restricts the land belonging to others.
"I don't mean it, buuuk... Sometimes I see shadows on the wall, but I don't look for no one... Sometimes there is no head. Makanga I bowed my way through here at night..." Ami said sadly.
"Yes, wis... Don't talk again until home." Sahut bu Widji, ketus. They continued their journey in haste in silence....
