Jaka was flabbergasted to look at his face without being able to speak a word. Only her tears seemed to tell how heavy she was to bear the burden she felt alone.
The figure of the old geezer just threw a smile while thrusting his hand, “Close with me! I will make you know the true meaning of life.”
Jaka was still fixated on looking at the figure of the old grandfather while kneeling on the ground.
“Young man, how? Do you want to follow my words?” The figure of the old grandfather patted Jaka on the shoulder, resuscitating him from his empty eyes.
Jaka. What he said was true too, he thought. Jaka began to digest the contents of his mind bit by bit, trying to understand what the old geezer wanted from him.
“Will Grandpa really show me the way, so that I can know the true meaning of life?" tanya still looked at the old man's face.
“I'll show you the way. As long as you mean it.”
“I'm sure. I'm gonna do it. For my mother's sake, whatever I'll go through later, I'll work my way through.”
Both of them left the place. Some of the fruit that Jaka managed to maintain just left him. Jaka followed in the footsteps of the old man while occasionally facing backwards.
“This is the last time I feel despair,” Inner Jaka. His determination is getting stronger. He wanted to try to start a new page of his life.dispose of his cowardice in order to find the meaning of life as said by the figure of the old grandfather.
Evening..
Jaka was in a pecking padepokan owned by an old grandfather who helped him in the moments he was slumped in despair.
Jaka was reading a book of studies accompanied by his teacher who was writing. Suddenly Jaka desires to show his teacher the book he holds, someone who has helped him start a new chapter in his life.
The figure was a wandering old man and he considered him a teacher. He passed the test before being appointed as a student.
“Teacher, teach me about this study.” Jaka showed me a study book made of bamboo rinses.
“Your words are not enough to learn it. It is better now that you train a lot of studies that I have taught you.”
“Yes, I did say that! But, I'm not saying you can learn that study for now.”
Jaka looks unhappy. “Why Master just said it now,” said Jaka with a frown.
“You only know protest. But your study style none of it increases.”
“It, because ... because.” Jaka was unable to give a strong reason to deny his teacher's words. He twisted his wits once again in search of an argument that could match the speech of his teacher.
“I will try to improve it. After a few practice times, my studies will definitely increase. Therefore, I beg the teacher, let me study this study as well, yes, yes.”
“Didn't you remember the times when you finally graduated and I considered you my student?”
“I remember! Of course I remember it. I won't forget those moments.”
“What did you hear at the time?”
“Teacher says, when a human is at its bottom point, it is very easy to swallow the ground. But there is a chance the wind could take him flying.”
“Then.”
“After the man flies, sometimes many return to his bottom, because in the wind there is no footing as strong as the footing on the ground.”
“And points finally.”
“Only people who are able to follow and maintain the wind rate can stand even without a foothold like a foothold on the ground.”
“Do you understand the meaning behind my words?”
