Home On The Grave

Home On The Grave
back to the village



The wheel of time continued to spin without feeling my education was finished, the ideals I dreamed I managed to achieve, with tears I embrace both my parents


Eko sir and widya's mother who have financed my college until it's over


"Thank you father, a mother without you may still be fatigued" I said softly


"Zalimah, thank God for bringing us together, and opening the hearts of father and mother to bring you to the city" said the widya mother wisely


It was really the two married couples that I was able to achieve the title of doctor I dreamed of.


"What is your next plan wrong?, asked the eco sir, when we were facing the same dinner tonight


"Zalimah will devote himself in the village sir, that is the ideal of injustice from small" I smiled


"The very ideals began to wrong, return to your village to devote themselves, rarely young people who have thoughts as noble as your mind is unjust, most of them prefer to work in the city" said Mr. Eko, supporting my intentions


The day I was waiting for arrived, I was escorted by my adoptive parents and several other police officers drove me to the village.


The welcome of the masses was so overwhelming, there was no more scorn and contempt like I used to have, everything now dodged my arrival, I saw my father standing among them, I got off the car immediately, bowed before my father, I saw him,the noblest man to me


"My son wake up, my father is proud of you" said my father pulling me up and we hugged each other in longing


Camat sir, Lurah and all the other officers welcomed me and the entourage from the city.


mr. Camat first gave a welcome word to us who came from the city


"Father and mother, whom we respect


Who have been willing to come in our secluded areas, you say a lot of thanks for the magnitude, and apologize if our welcome is lacking.


And we say welcome to our regional princess who has successfully achieved her doctor's title,and for the first time there was a regional princess from our region who managed to achieve the title of doctor and with full awareness and willingly returned to serve in her own area.


Here comes the "Zalima"


"Ananda Zalimah, please go forward na" said the camat sir


Apparently Zalimah, given the opportunity to convey a speech to the community as a form of permission for his service in the area


Assalamu alaikum wr.


first I apologized to the people of Tegalsari district for my courage to stand in front of my father, mother and noble brothers.


I wronged one of the daughters of the region here who was born and raised on the edge of the grave baranti, so presumptuously pleaded for ozin to the local people, to devote my knowledge which is only a small nail of this, he said,if there are among the father, mother and brothers who do not sincerely accept the arrival of injustice here, I beg you to raise your hands.


It turned out that everyone was silent, they were shouting


"living wrong, living wrong, we gladly accept the arrival of Doctor Zalimah!", they cried


"Thank you so much for accepting me here, and allow me, to invite a man who means so much to my life" she said


"All the citizens looked at each other, who would the man in question be unjust?" they thought


"He was the Father of January", then zalimah got off the stage and guided January up to the stage


Zalimah sighed, then wiped her tears and told her a story


"24 years ago, on a lonely, gripping night, under a drizzle came the spirit of a woman who died murdered by her husband, came to the January residence which was still young at the time,he left the red baby born in the burrow, unable to care for the baby anymore, sincerely the young man took care of the baby to a large extent, even if often in contempt, he said,scolded and always looked down upon for caring for a kuntilanak baby according to them, the young man was affectionate, even though he was just a gravedigger, supporting his adopted son until now, the child has stood before you all


"I am that boy and the young man who took care of him, this is what stands near me, this is what I call my father, he is the greatest man in my life" he said, ending his words, making the whole audience, shedding tears.


All who ever insulted despised bowed down in shame, full of regret


"hopefully succeed in your new profession" said widya's mother


"God willing, ma'am, often visit the shack of injustice", Zalimah hugged his widya mother.


It feels heavy to part with people who are already close in life, as well as the wrongdoing, but he also feels happy to be able to gather with his father


Luckily, during the lecture, the house has been repaired and the furniture has been replaced all.


"Dad, after eating we go out again to enjoy the beauty of the stars" I said to my father


"Dad did not expect, my son who has a doctor title still wants to enjoy the stars" replied the father smiling


"Dad, what is your great uncle, the great-grandson of Sumiati still comes here often?", I asked my father


"My son their spirits have calmed down no one else comes here, except the spirit of your mother who sometimes comes to ask you" said the father


My tears fell, my poor mother, why you have to go through the pain, why my mother was not given a chance to witness my success.


"My son, stop crying, that's the fate your mother must accept, pray for her son, that her grave be laid and forgiven her sin" said the father


"if sharira's mother, has she ever met her father?", ask me again


Sharira is a woman from the jinn realm who was my best friend in childhood and was married to my father, but sharira must return to the realm of jin denfan reasons that we do not know until now


"mother Sharira was confined in my son's iron cage, she could not be free again as before, the color around the place was filled with powerful supernatural energy" replied the sad father.


"Are you still interested in adventuring into the supernatural?", I asked you.


"My son, it's very dangerous and your world has now changed, you're a doctor son, don't have to think weird" said the father


*************


The first day, I worked as a doctor in a local district puskesmas


By practicing the science that I got from the world of medicine, I applied in my workplace, the performance of workers who are still falling makes me mumet.


"Are you the new doctor here?", asked a patient I checked his blood pressure with


"Yes ma'am", I said briefly


He kept looking at me as if he would ever recognize me, but I couldn't be too possessive, I had to stay consistent in my duties.


"Where is the doctor?", he asked again.


"I am also a native here, ma'am, my house on the edge of a sacred baranti grave" I said as I gave her a prescription


the mother scrunched her forehead, as if there was something she was going to say


"Mom, please take the medicine outside" I said, breaking his daydream.


"Yes, thank you doctor" she said with a smile


Actually, I'm like I've known a woman before and very familiar to me.


But again, I failed to focus.


I need to be more active and painstaking in my work.
