HUDDLES

Arrive in Silurah Village

I saw Anggi start wiping his tears and walking slowly towards me. Anggi immediately called me. Sobbing, apologizing to my father. I can't stand to see it this way either, I'm sobbing sobbing sob.

We all agreed to face this all together. The anger and selfishness between me and Anggi began to subside. I also understand this situation, someone often feels desperate. Especially with. Who had been desperate for my strange illness.

Anggi and I walked hand in hand. We promise there will be no more disputes between us.

We simultaneously followed Mr. Supri's footsteps with firewood carried on his shoulders. I saw Roni trying to help Mr. Supri. seeing Mr. Supri wet with sweat water, Roni offered to bring him. Roni's silence amazed me again.

‘’ Rat, you again see Roni yes?’’ whisky Anggi.

Anggi turns out to know me, who is secretly watching Roni.

‘’ ih. I again saw it, big wood. ‘’ replied me while stammering

‘’ is boong lo. Lo like the same Roni ‘’ Ledeknya

It was like I got an electric shock. What to answer with this silly question.

‘’Apaan nggi, I'm the same Roni is just a friend. I'm just amazed, same with him. ‘’ I replied more relaxed.

Why do I answer Anggi jokes instead, with my answer that increasingly makes Anggi continue to mute me.

I soon mastered myself. I tried the road first, because the net was narrow and down. I accelerated a little because I did not want to be teased continuously. As for Vito, I see that he's still cool with his camera.

We passed through an area of thick bamboo trees. It felt very cold when we were under it, even though it was daytime.

Mr. Surip said, if it is under the clump of bamboo trees it will feel cold. When it comes out of the area, the cool that cool it will disappear. We listened to Mr. Supri's story while walking.

Suddenly my legs sprained, because the road was a little slippery. I fell on that downhill road.

Roni directly gave the wood to Mr. Supri and immediately headed towards me.

‘’ you are not papa? ‘’ asked Roni to me.

‘’ no papa kok Ron. The net was slippery, I slipped.’’ Overshipped.

‘’ here, I help wake up ‘’ while holding my hand

‘’ ahem .. cough nih ‘’ Ledek Anggi.

‘’ hayo... you guys are caught off guard, making out.’’ Said Vito while filming me and Roni.

‘’You fuck. Notya nolongin’’.

Now I feel my face blushing for a moment. Plus embarrassed by Roni, why also I have to fall gini anyway, just shy. Mumbles.

I saw Roni walking again. I did the same thing. Followed by Vito and Anggi who look whiny.

We found a pretty rare sight after that. Under the bamboo trees. There are several stones arranged into three and around it there is a large enough Wajan.

Around it seemed clean, the grass did not fall into the place, it seemed to have been cleaned by local residents.

Mr. Supri said, if tomorrow in Silurah village there will be an annual event, in this bamboo-bamboo-charcoal area.

Mr. Surip said this area is called ngelarangan.

Roni who was always curious, asked why it was called a bargain. It seems Mr. Surip doesn't mind the question coming out of Roni's mouth.

Therefore, it is called the area we are prohibited from cutting or cutting down bamboo trees in this area.

We listened to Mr. Surip's explanation carefully.Once in a while we nodded.

Without feeling, we have reached the asphalt road. In a moment, we will arrive at Silurah village.

Right next to the road. There is a very large rock. The stone was overgrown by moss. Adding a mystical atmosphere in the area.

we were made agape by a very large tree, which grew in the area. The tree is similar to a banyan tree, but the trunk is not like the trees in general. There's some sort of bulkhead.

According to local residents, the tree had been tried to cut down, but the wood cutting machine was broken. Have tried many times to be cut down, but always failed.

Residents around believe, if the tree has a waiter. So every Friday kliwon, the tree is given offerings. So said Mr. Surip explained.

****

We finally arrived at the village of Silurah. After passing through the strangling terror, it makes me and Anggi almost fight.

This body and mind are very tired. I want it to feel like it's collapsing in a mattress. I saw houses that were beginning to be seen. Pak Surip House is right entering the village of Silurah. It could be said, the first house entered the village of Silurah.

From the road, it will be directly seen a small house on the ground. Then we invited Mr. Surip to rest at his house.His house looked simple, the roof was made of woven from leaves, while the walls were of wood.

We are still standing in front of the house, Mr. Surip immediately invited us to come in. Then we entered the house, followed Mr. Surip. I found an old wooden chair, but it was still rather good.

We simultaneously rested the body and mind of that ancient chair. Hose then, a woman who was not too old, brought a tray closer to us. Maybe that woman is Mr. Surip's wife.

The tray is placed on the table. It contains boiled cassava, boiled kettle, boiled mustard everything is boiled. And soon enough, Mr. Surip came with warm tea.

‘’di monggo, ngapuntene le, ndok. wonten e kados niki ‘’

(please, I'm sorry it's like this)

we just smiled and nodded. Then Roni thanked him, using the language of Java.

Mr. Surip and his wife let him back for a moment. And we let him.

Me, Anggi and Vito just looked at the food presented on the table. Not a single bit we touched it. Roni took the tea and drank it.

Then take the food on the table, which was just left alone. Roni told the three of us to eat it, but in unison the three of us refused it.

I have never tried the village food. It doesn't taste appetizing, but I just keep it in my heart. I didn't say it, neither did Anggi and Vito.

‘’ Not good, refuse to give others. ‘’ tell Roni to us.

I picked up the tea in front of me. I felt bitter, flowing down my throat. The tea is very bitter, it does not seem to be sugar.

Anggi and Vito who saw me seemed to wrinkle their faces and asked at once.

‘’ why Rat? Lirih Vito

‘’Teh its bitter’’

.

I saw Roni do the same thing, Vito and Anggi tasting the tea. And then they spit it out.
