EPS 26 GIRLS IN WHITE
Watch your tongue. Put him behind your heart. Let every word spoken be a string of pearls of meaningful meaning. If the word is empty of meaning, then be silent in your mind. Make a smile decorate your face. If you ever regret having been silent once. Really, you'd be more sorry for talking over and over again. Take care of your tongue, except for good.
Melin almost left, as someone came from a distance to them. A middle-aged woman, wearing a caping and carrying a basket on her back. While walking hurriedly, the woman yelled out to the man in front of her. The man smiled as he waved his hand, maybe they were a couple.
“Bu, hurry up here!”
“Ya, pack a minute!”
The woman hastened her steps. After arriving at that place, he instead looked at Melin with a astonished face. Then he asked.
“Eh, no neng geulis. Who is it sir?”
“She's the girl from the village next door. She said she wanted to go to Bandung but got lost here,” explained her husband.
The woman clenched her forehead. He stared at Melin's body from head to toe. The girl was wrong. She was worried that the mother suspected her existence in the forest. Fortunately he had learned a lot, that everything must be faced calmly and think clearly. In silence she thought, while her smile fell sweetly on the corner of her lips.
“I explained it ma'am. I asked him to go down straight to the river, then cross by raft or boat. After that she can go to the terminal or train station.” said her husband.
The mother still stood there. His body trembled a little. I don't know what she saw, she was a little scared to see Melin.
“Oh yes ma'am, did you bring a drink? This girl said thirsty,” her husband said again.
Then he helped his wife take down the basket she had in her trunk. After finding the bottle of drink, he immediately gave it to Melin.
“Take this bottle and bring it to your travel supplies,” he said while including a few pieces of boiled cassava and banana.
Melin accepted the gift with pleasure. After drinking and eating the boiled cassava, he immediately said goodbye to them. Her husband laughed happily because he had helped the girl, but his wife was still silently pecking. Staring at each step Melin down the path to the river. Her husband just stared at the wonder of his wife's behavior. Until Melin was out of sight, she asked.
“What's mom? You don't like that girl?” ask her husband while touching his wife's shoulder.
“Hah!” his wife seemed to have awakened from a deep daydream. “What sir?”
“Your lights look weird. You're not jealous of that kid, are you?”
“Ih, I look like a big new kid, talking jealous. Remember the age of the pack, we are old.”
“Then why did you just fall silent, your body trembled like you saw a ghost.”
“Eh, did you not notice the girl wearing white?”
The father nodded his head.
“The shirt is white. What does this have to do with?”
“Did you also see that girl's face is so pretty?”
The man was silent, remembering for a moment. Ah, I don't think he paid much attention to the girl's face. But come to think of it the girl was indeed too beautiful for the size of a countryman like his wife.
“Yes, you're right, that girl is beautiful. Continues?”
“You said earlier that the girl was from a village in the jungle right?”
The man nodded his head.
“Did you forget that in the forest there was never a village?”
The father patted his own head.
“You're right. Indeed there is not a single village in the forest next door.”
“That means that the girl in white was definitely not an ordinary human being.”
“What? You mean that girl is a ghost?” ask the father.
The woman nodded her head, and her husband laughed out loud. Tahyul in believe, hahaha..
