IRENG NIRMALA CANTILE

Part 8: The Turu Flower

The next day nirmala woke up with a condition not like usual, all joints in her body felt sore “rasane koyok crumpled balungku”(feels like crumbling my bones).

Nirmala decided to take a shower before leaving for the market. Yes, bathing is one way to make the body feel healthier and fitter, let alone well water in the cold morning like ice water. Every time the water soaked the body of Nirmala he felt someone standing behind him, like washing his body. Nirmala tried to ignore it, had not she bathed in this place for 10 years and nothing happened. Nirmala is now 17 years old and she is the oldest resident of the omah home, because no family wants to adopt nirmala. Nirmala completed her bathing activities as soon as possible, she did not want to oversleep until the market so she did not get the groceries.

Arriving at the market nirmala choose what she will buy, because it has become her routine nirmala has memorized everything she has to buy. Nirmala no longer met the stranger, it was nirmla's first and last meeting with the stranger. But florists in the market always give one flower bud to the cantilever nirmala. I don't know what the florist meant, every time nirmala asked for what? said the cantilever florist was a deposit from someone. But when nirmala asked who the person who entrusted these cantile flowers, the seller was reluctant to answer he always said “ miko lak kemu ngerti dewe nok”(later you will know for yourself deck). At first nirmala was reluctant to accept the flower but she always remembered her late mother's message “if there are people who give to us, but she always remembers the message of her late mother , just accept like or dislike not to let us hurt people who have been kind to us”. Finally, nirmala received the cantile flowers, almost every day the florist gave a gift of cantile flowers to the nirmala, so often nirmala sometimes reminded the florist. But on certain days the mysterious person does not leave a cantilever flower for nirmala. If nirmala recalls again cantile flowers are not given to nirmala in every dino weton nirmala (dino weton \= the birthday of someone with his market (Legi, Paing, Pon, Wage, Kliwon), etc, dino weton nirmala falls on a legi friday many Javanese say a legi friday is a good characterizer for the ritual. But why only on the day of weton nirmala the person does not leave a cantilever flower for nirmala, how the person knows dino weton nirmala or this is just a coincidence.

Nirmala did not want to take a headache about it, because drowsiness had enveloped her. Nirmala closed her eyes, unconsciously she felt herself at home in such a big shackle. Like the Dutch building but the accent of the answer is very thick seen from the carvings contained in each door and furniture made from teak wood. Nirmala was unceasingly amazed, admiring every building architecture. In each corner of the room there are trays containing setaman flowers and one cantile flower that is still buds, the cantile is black just like the cantile flowers that have been received from the florist.

“durung wayahe your crew ngerti”.(it is not yet time you understand)

Instantly surprised nirmala was surprised, like a thief caught by the owner of the house that is what nirmala feels now.

“saf buk, I don't mean sassy already entered at mother's house without permission”.

The face of the woman who was standing in front of nirmala was very familiar to him, yes it was a mysterious woman who met him in the market.

“rausah wedi, mbesok bakale omah iki yo call you. You nerimo flower cantile ireng sing titipke karo si mbah bakul ning market? Kuwi ngono I sing wenehi, stacking flower cantile I nganti cacahe ono patangty, miko yen wes wayahe I dewe sing will pick you up”. (don't be afraid, tomorrow this house will be your place. You received the black cantilever flowers that I entrusted to the grandmother of the flower seller in the market? It was I who gave thanks, collect the cantile flowers until the number is forty, later if it is time I myself will pick you up).

Nirmala woke up from her sleep, her breathing gasping every time she had a strange chest pain. The clock shows at 07:38 am nirmala too late to go to the market, must be ma'am laksmi who replaced him go to the market. Surely not how long bu laksmi came with some groceries.

“wes ndak anything ibuk ndak bungin you, oh iyo want ndek market ono si mbah kebul kembang nitipke iki kanggo kamu”.(it's okay mom don't have to wake you up, you, oh yes, in the market there is a grandmother selling nitipin flowers for you).

“oh yes bu matursuwun”.

“yo opo to iku La”.(indeed that's what La)

“ndak kok buk, mala auxiliary ya buk”.

“mala, wes blonde-blonde dino iki ibuk menggonangi you nglindur”(mala, have been a few days I accidentally saw you digelindur)

“iya tah buk”.

“opo sing jane again mbok thinkke mala, ojo dipendem dewe you it wes ibuk anggep anakke ibuk”.(what exactly you think mala, mala, do not hold your own, you already consider your own mother's child)

“lately iki mala is often a strange dream buk, but mala ndak tau opo meaning dream mala”.

“mala dream kuwi lek wong jowo ngarani flower turu, iso bener iso wrong. Iso wae kuwi dream realized ning real world iso wae kuwi mor angen-angen. Makane ojo lali dungo karo sing gawe urip lek meh mapan turu, ben ruh iso mbalek ning rogo”.(mala dream that if the Javanese say flowers sleep, can be right can be wrong. It could have been that the dream happened in the real world could have been just wishful thinking. So do not forget to pray the same almighty before going to bed, so that the spirit can return to the body).
