H'Ongtang "Scratches of Wounds"

Before the last day

Disappointment and anger are increasing and what Yu An has in mind now is to want to leave his mother's prison, Yu An collected all his jewelry and unloaded all the savings he had saved all these years, it seemed like the desire to escape he had planned from the past was just biding his time, the fatigue in his heart said it was time.

Yu An left in the middle of the night when everyone had fallen asleep, he ventured to the harbor alone, this was the first time he went into darkness in the middle of the night and certainly very few people in the harbor , " good afternoon miss there can I help you" a fisherman approached Yu An amid confusion, Yu An looked at the man in front of him with a feeling of fear and worry if he was Chou's man who he would definitely bring back to Chou he thought to himself, with a word of words in answer asked the fisherman "I want to find a ferry boat"

" crossing where miss" with a little fear Yu An asked again

" are you a fisherman here? "

" yes, miss, I'm a fisherman here"

"i want to go to Indonesia is there a ferry boat "

" no, the lady of the country is very far from here, if you want to go there, you can go by land and pass through various countries but wait a long time or you can take an airplane at a slightly expensive cost"

" can you help me, I'll pay you no matter how you want"

With the help of the fisherman Yu An can take the air route to get to malaisya airport quickly after that he had to take the crossing to batam and riau,the journey was very tiring but Yu An breathed a little relieved because he could finally be free from the entanglement of his mother and surely he would be free from the face of chou in his life.

 

  

Before the last day

Bukittinggi, Indonesia 1965

Koko Lung Grocery Store in the form of shophouses uniting shops and houses, a very aesthetic store with a typical old Chinese design, the past, Sunday in the morning there was a commotion created in the store by the koko who was upset at seeing the brown sugar she was selling was broken like a rat bite

" aiya how can we dangangan like this? , like eaten by a mouse haiyiiaa fucking rat, eh Ling Ling " 

" do you know we're cooking again"

" here you are, see our brown sugar eaten by rats "

" why can "

" ai you ask owe where owe know"

" u his rarely clean-up times "

" don't be as lazy as you, we clean every day, hah we just find the mouse let we love goku (their dog) " koko takes a broom for a weapon to catch a rat because of her growling with a rat that she considers to be the mastermind damaged by her hand 

" where are you here against we" 

On the same day I came to Jiang's house to invite him to play into the canyon cyanok, one of God's wonders is the flow of the river under the abyss , seeing the commotion that was going on I was reluctant to go into the store berutunglah cece Ling realized my existence ,

" hey Adit here in "

" don't want to leave, just look for Jiang "

" let's call cece a minute" 

I sat in an old wooden chair while waiting for Jiang to come out and accidentally looked towards the pile of soy sauce boxes in the corner of the shop, there was something strange behind the box because it suddenly moved like someone was behind it, then I ventured closer to the box to check it out, I was a little surprised that there was a little girl from this family member secluded behind a box, between the kanget and the laugh I saw fei with his mouth splattered by the brown sugar he had eaten secretly for fear that his father would find out that he stole the saka from the "hussss" shop"  the code to tell silence so that his existence there is not known by his family,

" Radit "Jiang surprised me from behind 

" Astafirulah Al azim Jiang you made my heart drop "

" yes, you did it there "

" no, ngak ngapa ngapain, let's go now " 

I turned Jiang's attention so he wouldn't see Fei in hiding, not too far away we stepped out of the store, fei came out of his hiding place and shouted to call us

" koko. ,abangggg" the mouth was silent with a shrill cry that was able to make us stop and turn around, her little body swinging running towards us

" we're going to go to the canyon"

" come with...."

" don't, girls play at home "

" don't want to .., bang Adit Fei wanted to come along" Fei seduced me and held my hand and weaved it which made my heart melt

"let Fei come with us, let me take care of him "

"alright, but ask permission first with mama there "

" okay ko "

On the way I did not let go of Fei's hand in the slightest for fear of his dead body falling, little Fei with a funny face did not stop smiling from the beginning of our journey, in the middle of the journey Fei suddenly stopped his footsteps, and Fei suddenly stopped his footsteps,

" what's the matter Fei ?" Fei only fell silent his eyes staring in awe at the flower growing by the roadside, the yellow flower that was blooming looked beautiful to the point of taking Fei's eyes off ,

 " the flower is beautiful"

" yes Fei, beautiful as you"

" hehehe, thank you, but may Fei take the flower "

" don't touch the flower, how about the flower was poisonous "say Jiang who resisted Fei's desire to take the flower by the roadside, fei's cheerful face turned into a frown that made me not bear with her sadness then I whispered her earpiece so that she returned to smile "later brother get ya, let's walk again" 

Of all the tired we finally replaced after seeing the flow of the river from the canyon cyanok visible in my eyes, Fei released my hand and ran because he could not wait to feel the cool of the river water 

" Fei be careful, Fei will fall"

"  yes ko"

Big rocked in the middle of the river me and Jiang rested after getting tired of feeling the dinginya water, Jiang looked around the enchanting scenery of the canyon cyanok and the sound of jankrik sounding loud voting , it sounds that are racing against each other with the swift water may be a very beautiful natural collaboration.

" Radith "

" yes ji"

" later if we go we can't nitip Fei"

" where are you going "

"we're going to China where uncle we're going "

" how long "

" we don't know, we were told by his sister's father to be there because they didn't have children"

" but China is far ?"

" very far away"

"means I can't see you anymore"

In the seriousness of our conversation suddenly came the sound of falling from Fei which caused panic between me and Jiang plus Fei who was crying because of injury 

" koko hik hiks sick"

"  we've said you should be careful if gini we'll get angry with mom"

" Ji don't get mad at him, Fei don't cry yes, the wound is bad if Fei later we treat ya"
