I'm You And He

28. Meeting with aunt

"Ti, can I get something?" said Gita while helping mom pull out cassava leaves.

"What about?"

"On Nature."

Siti stopped her activities when she heard the name.

"Why?" The back asked.

"When we were in Jakarta, you said Alam was back?"

"He said so." Siti Say.

"Where is he now?"

"No idea, Git. Why do you seem to be talking about nature?"

Gita recalled Siti once said Edwar and Dinda's relationship ended because Nature had returned. But until now the Gita has not seen what the figure of Nature looks like now.

"No papa. Just." she answered briefly.

While Alam and Edwar went to meet people who had seen aunty. According to the auntie's description go towards the southern garden. Nature remembers the Southern garden is the garden owned by Uncle. Nature regrets why she didn't think about the garden.

With Edwar they went to the garden in question. Nature sees a small house. There's a fireplace and a grave. A graveyard?

"Whose grave is this?" ask Nature in your heart.

There is no name on the tomb. Edwar shouted to call out to Nature. Nature went inside the hut watching her aunt pass out near the cooking stove. Aunt's face has been wrinkled. Unlike the time 8 years ago, especially the age of aunty younger than her mother.

"Quick call an ambulance." cried Nature in panic.

"How do we call an ambulance? it's the woods, lam!" edwar Protest.

"Just call who's cake! people nearby!" alam

"Try asking for help with Dinda's father!" Edwar recalled that Dinda's father was very trusted in this village.

"Don't! I've been lazy to deal with them." reject Nature.

"Down your ego, lam. It's about aunty! You want aunty why-why?" snappy Edwar.

Nature finally gave up. He asked Edwar to ask Irwan for help, but when they came out of the hut there were people passing by. The workers flocked to lift the aunt up to the big road. Shortly after the ambulance arrived, the aunt was immediately handled by officers. Nature thanked the people who helped her.

Nature looks at the body of a worn-out aunt. Aunty used to be very clean, dandy, but not lazy. Even auntie often taught Dinda sewing, cooking and grooming. Auntie and Dinda are very close, just like Dinda was with the Edwar family.

About 4 days aunt in Sarolangun hospital, because Sukasari only have puskesmas. Before long aunt realized, aunty was shocked when she saw herself in the company of a young man.

"Si..who are you?"

"auntie is conscious. Thank goodness."

"Who are you?"

"bi, it's me, Alam wassalam, Marni's son."

"No way! My son's nature is dead."

"bi, I'm alive! I've been looking for you guys for a long time!"

Aunt stroked the face she said she had fatted.

"This is you, son." His face began to show tears.

Aunt hugged Nature "My nature is back, son."

"Please turn it all over to Irwan's family."

"Auntie don't think about replying first. Think of aunt's health."

"You're confused as to why, aunt's asking for revenge."

Nature does not understand why the aunt had wanted to return to Irwan's family. Many wanted Nature to ask, including the whereabouts of Uncle Toni. Nature brought aunt home to the old house. Alam invites Siti's family including Gita to accompany aunt. Alam introduces Gita as his future wife to his aunt. At Alam aunty says she prefers Siti over Gita. Nature asks aunt to get to know Gita first.

This afternoon aunty cooks a lot of gulai

"A lot of it, bi. We're just two of us, Lo."

"Make Siti and her mother."

"Make Gita too, right, bi." aunty nodded.

Alam helps aunty move side dishes to the bushel to be escorted to Siti's house. I wish I could call Gita. But aunt reminded her that Nature must return home as soon as possible.

"Ah, auntie is never young." Nature in the Heart.

...----------------...

Meanwhile at Siti's house there was a crowd of mobs. They ask Siti and her family to expel Gita. Because of the dark traces of Gita in Sukasari village. They dragged in violently. Nature defends the Gita.

"Hey! you are new! don't interfere in our village affairs!" Shouted one of the residents.

"But she's a girl. Don't be rude to women." Nature replies emotionally.

"An adulterer like him, not worth pitying." Shouts of other citizens.

"Already! don't listen to him! we're taking this woman to the town hall! We burn him down so that he doesn't pollute this village again!" shouted the citizens.

Residents who believe the information then damage the front house by throwing all the windows with stones to the mess.

They dragged the Gita roughly, like dragging an animal. Alam and Edwar chase after the Gita who cut off the citizens. Nature cries to see the fainted Gita still being treated harshly.

They brought Gita to the town hall, it looks like Gita will be burned! because the fireplace is ready.

"What the fuck is this! You're inhumane!" shout Edwar.

"Say quiet! or you'll come burn us!" amuk is a citizen.

"Gita's awake! wakeup!" Nature continues to shake the Gita's body.

More and more people gathered to see the scene. The aunt who heard that went straight to the town hall, scolding the possessed citizens for persecuting Gita.

Alam and Edwar take Gita home.

Auntie believes this is Irwan's job. Why Irwan wants to get rid of his family.

Nature awaits the Gita who treatment to Sukasari puskesmas. Bibi asked Gita to go back to Jakarta. Gita refused because there is something to be solved with the people of Sukasari.

"Bas stubborn! You almost died still!" aunt's nagel.

Gita was silent. Whether this is just his feelings, Gita judged that aunt did not like him.

Nature saw the reaction of aunt directly mediating. Alam invites aunty to eat out while Gita rest first. Nature speaks from heart to heart to aunt.

"Why is aunty so much of a Gita?" ask Nature.

"Yes, stubborn. He was told to go back to Jakarta instead!" Auntie said she was still upset.

Nature breathes. His relationship with the Gita still has obstacles. Nature thought Dinda had retreated slowly, but it turned out that a new problem was coming.

"But why does he call you Ronal, not Nature." Ask aunt wonder.

Nature can't explain to aunty that she changed her identity. Even though what happened to her was her mother's intervention. Nature is happy to be reunited with aunt.

"Bi?" Ask nature to break the silence.

"yes." said aunt

"Where's uncle?"Ask Nature

"It's at home."

"Why didn't he show up?"

"Don't you meet your uncle when you enter."

"Nothing I saw uncle." Nature still does not understand what aunt means.

"Later to meet. Now we go home." take aunt.

"What a girl, bi."

"Let it rest, first. He has a family, though."

"But, Bi." Whine of Nature.

"You're! every close to the same woman must be very bucin. Not the same Dinda, not the same Gita. go home!" force aunt.

...----------------...

What did you do to Gita?" said Sita when she met her father in the back garden of the house.

"Dad only got rid of what was a hindrance to your brother."

"Crazy dad!" shouted Sita and went inside the house.

Irwan went back into the house. Instantly he locked himself in the room. Reflect on what has happened.

8 Years ago.

Irwan heard that Alam was found falling into the rice fields along with other girls. Irwan knew there was jealousy in his eldest daughter.

that afternoon, he saw the girl walking by herself.

" Where's the deck going?" Ask

"You go to the terminal, sir. But I don't know the way." replied Gita looking puzzled.

"You want me to take it." bargained.

"I want to go home, sir." pinta Gita.

"Where is your house?"

"I'm a grandson of Mr. Taufik, sir."

"Oh, Dul's son."

"Yes, sir."

Their motor stopped. Irwan reasoned to look for a workshop on Gita. He deliberately said so that Gita could not return to Sukasari.

The next day Irwan hears that Gita has been found unconscious in a mine pit with Alam. For Irwan at first he only gave a lesson to Gita, but he felt one trap immediately paid off. Irwan considers that if Alam is expelled, Dinda can focus on the same school.
