Hydrocarbons

The Same But Different Flavors

Three weeks have passed. Events not yet understood and understood by Ruscita. Ianti has not recovered properly from the illness due to the accident. I don't know what makes Ruscita can survive the accident, while Ianti was battered by falling from the bike they were riding.

“Sorry mom, what has happened to mom and mom Ianti?” Ask Rio.

“Mom did not understand also son, the rain was a bit drizzling and suddenly like someone ambushed us both. I don't know what drugged us, we were so unconscious. The mother only regained consciousness after some of the veiled people woke the mother. Mom was so scared, after they asked for our research, they took mom's bag. Ianti's mother was taken by two veiled men. Mom was so scared. Mother was unconscious again. Until it is quiet and you can get out of the room. It's dark. Mom was terrified, and kept trying to navigate the path. And finally it can arrive at a cottage belonging to Pak Pajo and his wife.” Ruscita sighed.

“Where is that place bu?” Ask Sisca.

“Kata Pajo, Selingsing Village where mom rides angkot, but Pajo lives on the slopes of Mount Sengenge, in the forest. What made me not understand, Mom and Ianti fainted for almost 4 hours. Because after the mother from Selingsing Village took two and a half hours, before reaching the village mother walked almost two hours also from the house Pajo.” Ruscita.

“Do we need to go there again ma'am? I will be with some friends to accompany my mother there. How's bu?” ask Rio.

“Mother ask permission from Mr Headmaster first huh? But this matter, I'm just telling you both. Mom is hard and has almost no evidence to suggest that mom was robbed. It happened very quickly and could hardly be used as evidence. Only mother's bag is missing.” Ruscita.

“we prepare the car and supplies bu, who knows we have to stay in the area.” Rio's Proposal.

Ruscita and Sisca agree.

“I'll take Typhoon and Anto as well huh bu?” Ask Rio again.

Ruscita.

That day after the school meeting, Ruscita returned to visit Ianti to the hospital.

the day is still shrouded in mystery. A mystery that cannot be explained. Only felt, even then only Russita felt. Ianti could not be invited to talk. His body was still weak, even though he was conscious. The doctor still restricts me from having to invite Ianti to talk.

“Mother is ready?” Ask Sisca to Ruscita.

‘Iya son. Remember bring wind oil and mosquito repellent lotion! Many pacets like in the forest Sangenge.” Pinta Ruscita on Sisca.

“Apaan pacet bu?” Ask Sisca.

“Sort of leeches son, but his life is in the rotten foliage that is in the ground.” Answer Russita.

Typhoon and Anto were busy putting things into the APV car.

“Rio where?” Ask Ruscita.

“Again to warung bu.” Javan Anto's.

“you're already at breakfast?” Ruscita asked everyone.

“Already ma'am, later snacking on the road as well.” replied Typhoon.

‘Rio, have you had breakfast son?” Ruscita asked the newly arrived Rio.

“Home ma'am, all ready?” Ask Rio.

“Already, already, all I have entered. Tent I put above.” Answer Typhoon.

“Kok bring tent all/” Tanya Ruscita.

“Be careful mom, who knows we have to spend the night in the middle of the forest.” Reply Rio.

APV cars are rolling through the city streets. Get further and out of the city crowd. Although still in a new normal adjustment, but the city is quite crowded. In the car they talked, with various topics and themes. So Rscita was a little entertained and began to forget the events that befell her and Ianti. The children of his class gave him the spirit to be happy. This is the reason, Ruscita did not want to leave the city where he started life. Her husband and three children moved to another country to start a new life. Ruscita remained in his establishment, living to be able to teach children in his hometown.

“We have to go to the village what is the name bu?” Ask Rio.

‘Desa Selingsing Rio's. From there we walk to Pak Pajo's house. Later we ask Mr. Pajo to help usher to the place where the mother was taken by the people.” Answer Russita.

“Mother is still scared?” Ask Typhoon.

“Given that time, the heart of the mother was pounding, including now when it was talked about that. The one I fear is only one. Those guys killed mom.” Ruscita kinda sighed.

“The path from the house of Swarnita, where the mother was intercepted. Intercepted or diapain bu?” Desperate Rio.

‘Mother was immediately unconscious, because the motor driven by Ibu Ianti the road was slow. Motor oiled and fell, Mother was unconscious and aware after being awakened by those people.” Russita.

“Sial, the bad guys are hanging out. Arriving in our city there are bad people.” Gerrutu Rio's.

“Don't you in the city of Brow, in our school there are a lot of bad people, you don't remember Handoko who brought you the resilience of Polda?” Kelakar Anto's.

Ruscita Sorting Backs Rio.

“Sabar son, we good people will always be protected by good anyway. Didn't you?” Ruscita rubbed Rio's head.

Rio, sighed and smiled even though he did not look at the teacher sitting next to him, because he had to focus on controlling the iron horse, the APV of his car.

“In Hindu Studies called, Dharmo Raksata Raksitah bu.” Sela Typhoon.

“Cuihh, prospective religious teacher bu.” Sergey Anto.

“Iya, Typhoon is very adept with sloka-sloka in religious studies.” Connect Sisca.

“You must be GR Pan.” Anto Ledek.

“Ach, little GR can be.” Answer the mild Typhoon.

“Everyone has their own talents. Like the mother's husband, the father's children, sintered once with religious and cultural lessons. But for sure science lessons, exsak, she gave up.” Ruscita smiles in memory.

“Mother, I'm sorry if I was presumptuous. If you can tell, my husband and children have never been home? Where's bu?” Ask Sisca.

“Oh, long story boy. But all right, mom tell me.” Ruscita began to seriously open up her past.

“Fifteen years ago, mom's family was plagued by problems. Mother's husband disagrees with indigenous leaders in the environment of the mother first lived. So before the mother moved to the city, the mother lived in the village. I don't know what the case is, the mother's family is suspended. Since then, the mother's husband chose to go outside the area. But I insisted I didn't. I don't want to leave the area. But the hard heart of the mother's husband, he still goes with the children, and the mother chooses to remain here.” Ruscita sighed.

‘Mother divorced husband?” Ask Rio.

“No son, mother remains husband's wife mother, but we want to live life according to our wishes first, later if it's time, we will regroup.” Answer Russita.

“How long has it been bu?” Ask Anto.

“Almost fifteen years nak.” Answer Ruscita

“What?” Almost simultaneously.

“Waow... Fifteen years? So strong mom?” Sisca astonishment. So do the others.

“Mothers sure your husband still loves you?” Desperate Rio.

“Mother believes son, because mother is sincere. And also we keep exchanging news.husband mother is now in a Shaolin college like that, deepening the teachings of meditation. According to the mother's husband.” Ruscita looked ahead like he was staring at a blank look. The children were all stunned listening.

“Yes that's how son, life choice. There must be consequences.” Ruscita excited.His hand stroked Rio's back. Rio smiled but remained at his front gaze.controlled the APV's steering.

“Once again forgive us ma'am, have brought up the family life of mother.” Sisca apologized again.

Ruscita turned her body to look at Sisca sitting right behind her seat. Ruscita smiled, wanting to feel Ruscita stroking Sisca's hair because of her affection. The four of them were like their own children. Close in everything.

“We're almost there, son. When the mother of this village with the feeling of being shaken in the angkot, could still fall asleep. I don't know, mom's body felt weak at that time. But now with you, it doesn't feel. The trip so very beautiful and not boring.” Ruscita.

“Maybe because we bu.” kelakar Typhoon.

“GR by brow.” Sergey Anto.

“Indeed, you're mother's encouragement. Before you, there were also your close and kind class brothers like you.” Ruscita.

“The bad ones are there also bu?” Anto.

Ruscita smiles. A mother's happy smile. Not long after, they finally arrived at the village terminal. They go down and refresh their bodies by breathing in the still natural countryside air.

‘Excuse me sir, if the road to the mountain slope area is yes sir?” Ruscita asked a merchant father at the village terminal.

“There's ma'am, but the road's not good. Usually a motor whose wheels are a lot of serrations, or a car whose tires are large, can only be bu.” Answer the father plainly.

“We put the car here aja bu, we go up. All our supplies for his carry.” Obviously Rio.

Ruscita nodded and everyone agreed.

The path that Ruscita once passed with Pak Pajo, now they are traced back. Ruscita still remembers feeling uneasy towards Pak Pajo who walked after him first. But now his heart is very happy to be followed by his favorite students. Still the same path. But different taste.
