IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 2: The Beginning of Friendship

“Malaaaa...mreneo!!!!”(.Mala here)

Mala walked closer to Dela.

“Mala knows iki jenenge Nur lan Anggun. Nur, Anggun iki Nirmala”.

“Hy Mala...”.(Nur and Anggun simultaneously).

Mala just silent not the least responding to the greeting of Nur and Anggun.

“Mala they iki also koncoku sing bakale dadi koncomu also”.((Even though they are also my friends who will also be your friends).

“Del, how strange boy to...?”(Del kok he's weird anyway)

“Hmmm wes ayok dolanan together”.

The four of them played together, playing a game of kublak-cublak suweng.

The game is played at least four people, before playing the four of them gambreng and the loser will be a pack of Empo. He lay face down in the middle, the other children were sitting in a circle. Open the palm facing up and place it on the back of Mr. Empo. One of the children held the seeds/pebbles and moved from one palm to the other hand accompanied by the song Cublak-Cublek Suweng. “Cublak cublek suweng, suwenge ting gelenter, guava ketundung gudel. Pak empo lyric, saya mau sing delekke. Sir sir pong dele gosong, sir sir pong dele gosong”. In the sentence ”Sapa want to sing delekke” hand over the seeds/pebbles to the hand of a child to be hidden in the grasp. At the end of the song, all the children clasped their hands together, pretending to hide the pebbles, moving their hands. Pak Empo got up and guessed in whose hands the seeds/pebbles were hidden. If the guess is right, the child who grasps the seeds/pebbles changes to Pak Empo. If wrong, Mr. Empo returned to his original position and the game was repeated again. When it was Mala's turn to be a pack of Empo, Mala was just silent as if reluctant to become a pack of Empo.

“Mala, your crew sing dadi “,(Your finished mala)

Mala did not budge, she just stared intently at grace.

“Mala ngopo your mendelikki me? Kan bener to yen you sing turn dadi pak Empo”.((Mala why are you glaring at me? It is true that you are the turn to be Empo sir).

“Wes.uwes ben I wae sing dadi”.(I already let it be me)

“Lah Del, kat want boy iki gelem rack lose gelem rack dadi pack Empo.”.((Lah Del, from now on this child does not want to lose do not want to be an Empo sir).

“I wegah dolanan karo boy iki meneh” (I don't want to play with this kid anymore).

“Nur, you fill in pingin ning kene opo melu me?”(Nur you still want to be here if come with me)

“Sepurane yo Dela, Mala I uwisan leh dolanan”.(Sorry, Dela, Mala I hope to play).

Dela nodded in agreement.

Anggun and Nur left Dela and Mala. Every now and then Anggun stole a glance at Mala, Mala's gaze was so horrible and strange to Anggun.

“Endak, Mala maybe your crew loro durung familiar. Coaching suwe-suwe lakyo araval”.(No, Mala maybe you two aren't familiar yet. It will be familiar for a long time too).

That night was like the usual night, after the children of the home do routine activities that have been scheduled by the mother of the home every day they return to their respective rooms. Suddenly there was a loud bang that came out of nowhere. The smoke quickly spread throughout the room, because the home is still made of wood making the fire easily propagate. Ms. Laksmi immediately came out and called all her successors to save herself. Thank goodness all the children of the orphanage and Miss Laksmi can get out of the house quickly. Outside, there were many people helping to put out the fire. The village where this orphanage is located is still very remote so that facilities such as damkar are not yet available, so residents extinguish the fire with makeshift tools. Until the screams of Dela make Ms. Laksmi and all the people who were there panic.

“Bukkk…. Mala stuffing ning jeroooo.Buk, Mala's still inside)

“Yes, Malaaa”. Panic Ms. Laksmi immediately ran into the home, before reaching the doorstep of the RT pack immediately pulled Laksmi's hand away from there.

“Enten nopo bu?”(What's wrong mom?)

“Mala sir..Nirmala is still inside. I fear him why-why pak”.

“Ning jero danger buk, gene wes round. Bu Laksmi ning kene wae jagani boy liyane ben I lan citizens sing mlebu goleki Nirmala”.((In the dangerous proof, the fire is already burning. Ms. Laksmi is here just take care of the children so that I and the people who enter Nirmala nyari).

Almost more than an hour residents and RT sir who went inside to look for Nirmala did not go out, the feeling of Bu Laksmi increasingly restless. He felt he had failed to look after the children. Dela, Nur and Anggun were incessantly crying while mentioning Nirmala's name. Although sometimes Nirmala's attitude is strange but deep in Dela's heart, Nur and Anggun they love Nirmala. They all prayed to God that Nirmala might soon be found in good condition.

The good of Allah, who is ever-hearing the prayers of orphans and orphans, has their prayers answered. One of the residents managed to find Nirmala, but Nirmala's condition was not good because half of her face suffered serious burns, so Ms. Laksmi immediately brought Nirmala to the village clinic to be immediately given help.

Almost three days after the incident Nirmala was unconscious, fortunately at the time of the incident in the clinic there were coas students from the city so that the injuries experienced by Nirmala can be handled properly.

“Dok, can Nirmala recover?”.

“Mother do not have to worry about the state of Nirmala has improved just waiting for him to realize, just that the wound on his face can not completely disappear bu. Perhaps when Nirmala was caught in the fire, there was a rich man who fell on his face because the wound was a bit deep so it had to be sewn. Well the former stitches that will later cause scars. But the rest of Nirmala's state is fine”.

“Good ma'am Doctor, thanks”.

“Ya mother, equally”.

There was the sound of crying and screaming from Nirmala. Mala kept calling her mother and father.

Madam Doctor and Miss Laksmi immediately go to Nirmala's room. Madam Laksmi held Nirmala to calm Nirmala.

“Buk...sick buk....sakit”.

Nirmala's moaning made Laksmi's mother unable to hold back her tears.

Nirmala felt a sore, hot and painful wound on her face.
